Description

(THE TRAVEL AGENCY ) by (THE TRAVEL AGENCY )...... ....(The Travel Agency story is a complicated one. What is known is they are from California, formed in San Francisco and featured Frank Davis who had previously worked in the studio with the Fever Tree in Texas. They then appear to have relocated to Los Angeles and released two excellent 45s on LA labels Tanqueray ("Time/Made For You". 1966) & Kookaburra ("Time/Emit". 1967). Both of these are excellent folk-rock 45s with Time being the same version on both 45s. The confusion then begins as "Made For You/MFY" was also issued on Kookabura, credited the Act III. A self-titled LP, produced by Bread's James Griffin, was released on LA's Viva Records in 1968. It's a strong guitar structured California varied sound with some Beatles styles including great harmonies ... interesting chord changes and rhythms. Definitely late 60's politics and scene. The TRAVEL AGENCY is totally anonymous other than having Frank Davis the Texas Fever Tree associate, and wrote the two-minute blast "Grand Candy Young Sweet" for their second album. Though much less well known, this LP is better than any of the four Lp's by Fever Tree. The opening track, "What's A Man" is more relevant today than it was then! A conversation between a father and his hawkish son (wasn't it the other way around back then?), it has Iraq all over it: ("You can't imagine what I'm thinking / We've got to fight them while they're small / Or their disease will soon be spreading / And then we'll never kill them all"). Also the Beatlesque "Sorry You Were Born", and the fuzz-laden "Cadillac George" are terrific on their own terms. The group gets mystical, with mixed results. "Lonely Seabird" is spellbinding, and the extended, raga-like "That's Good" paints psychedelia all over the listeners minds eye. The classical guitar framed "So Much Love", and "You Will Be There" sound like renaissance madrigals. If anything, the group was adept at writing and performing an impressive variety of material. There's unrealized hit potential here. Both "She Understands", and "Come To Me" are instantly catchy, if only someone had been around to catch them.
