Description
here we have the debut album from the band "INFLUENCE". this was a highly progessive and psychedelic band that pioneered some pretty interesting music. very rare and hard to find, plays perfectly all the way through.corner of cover is damaged
Influence debuted on 1 June 1967 at the Barrel, a small Montreal club. Later that month the band added Geisinger's former colleagues from The Buddy Miles Quartet, singer/songwriter and pianist Bob Parkins (aka Bobo Island) and lead guitarist Walter Rossi. The three musicians had previously played together in the early ‘60s with Bob & The Messengers and The Soul Mates.In late August, the group relocated to Toronto, playing Boris’ Red Gas Room in the city's Yorkville Village on September 2, 1967. They then performed regularly at the venue over the next two months before travelling to New York during November to record an album for ABC Records at Bell Studios with producer Dennis Minogue (aka Terry Cashman). Released in January 1968, the album included the mini-opera 'Mad Birds of Prey', which was "more echoes of Weill's Threepenny Opera than of anything around in rock".Back in Toronto, the band resumed live work, appearing at the El Patio from August 31- September 1, but soon afterwards founding member Louis McKelvey left the band and returned to England. The remaining musicians carried on as Influence but broke up in early 1969 when Walter Rossi joined The Buddy Miles Express.
