Wayne Diebold: rhythm guitar
Gary Brenner: lead guitar
Harold Scheffner: bass
Produced 1967
From the tiny village of St. Clement’s near Kitchener, Ontario, the Threads of Fybre were a rather fleeting concern, performing not more than ten times in their entire career. Nonetheless, in true DIY fashion, they did manage to commit themselves to vinyl posterity, recording this double-sider in Toronto on June 25, 1967, just as the mythical summer of love was about to unfold. Fronted - as it were - by Tim Meyer, who doubled up on drums and vocals, this four-piece, like much of 1960s garageland, was a lot longer on attitude than on talent. In fact, the primitive guitar scratchings and rudimentary drumming on A-side ‘Mama’ recall later punk legends Television Personalities at their charming best (which would mean at their worst), while Meyer’s surly vocal ratchets up the rancor a notch with a totally convincing Sky Saxon scowl. Over on ‘Believe Me’ there is more of the same glorious amateurism, though this time the lads bog down a bit in a lethargic mess, with the whole thing unraveling by song’s end.
Their lone single was recorded in June 1967

Just a Hammond B3 and a drummer were all there was to the lineup of Teegarden & Van Winkle who were popular in the late ‘60s, early 70s. They formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma but moved to Detroit to absorb the feel of authentic soul music being produced there. After God, Love & Rock n’ Roll, their only hit song, they toured with Bob Seger. Knape went on to play with ex-Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger in the Robby Krieger Organization.

It’s either a chocolate candy bar called a Crunchy or it’s crunchy peanut butter. I tend to believe the latter. I was given three excellent Bill Connors records from my late friend John McCann who died last year. So this is to remember him!

The Giles Bros, Michael and Peter, began playing in Bournemouth 1961 in several local bands that played 1,134 gigs in 7 yrs time in Trendsetters who backed Bo Diddley, The Drifters, Gene Vincent etc & recorded some unsuccessful 45s. In 1967 they started up a new group with the idea of seeking out a keyboardist. They put an ad in a local paper but got Robert Fripp instead. They then moved to London where they rented a house, got day jobs, and practiced. They made this home recording in 1968 and asked singer Judy Dibble (ex Fairport Convention) to come to 93a Brondesbury Rd to record with them.
Judy told me that the band used boom mic stands with carpets and blankets slung over them to create baffles for the recording of this album. It was a very vivid memory for her.
Giles, Giles and Fripp spent a year writing & recording but never gigged as a band

Says Mills-Cockell about his Moog: “We got wind of this instrument called a Moog synthesizer, and it seemed like a dream come true, as far as I was concerned. We had been making our own electronic instruments: playing with tape recorders, jerry-rigging things together. It turned out [Dr. Moog] was in upstate New York, which is not that far from Toronto, and we drove there in our Volkswagen psychedelic van to see him.”

That was when they formed their own Duck Records and recorded their first album featuring a re-recorded version of One Ring Jane. Bonded with the San Francisco music scene, the album did rather well considering it didn’t get much airplay. They went on to tour with the Yardbirds, Alice Cooper, opened for Cream and Deep Purple before calling it quits in the early 1970s.

The group took its name from a Bible passage: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine ...." meaning: do not give things of value to those who will not understand or appreciate them. Pearls Before Swine was under the influence of The Fugs who directed them to ESP Records in the mid-1960s. On working with the label ESP-Disk, Rapp has said that "We never got any money from ESP. Never, not even like a hundred dollars or something. My real sense is that he (Bernard Stollman) was abducted by aliens, and when he was probed it erased his memory of where all the money was". They then went to Reprise Records and released several albums with them before Tom Rapp went solo in 1972.
