Description

SOMEDAY (Peter Christensen) bw I Change My Mind (Dave Leroux) by The Raphaels.  QC 272. 1965

A quote from a man named Alex Taylor, from the "Garage Hangover" website:


"The Raphaels, like The Beaux Geste, were among the most promising garage bands from the Ottawa-Gatineau scene, and that too this day, remain the least known. Their single was cut at HH Bloom studios on Bank Street in Ottawa (the QC prefix was Bloom’s own). This was the same place that Don Norman & The Other Four had cut “Mustang Sally” and where Those Naughty Boys made their first demos too. Only a couple hundred copies of The Raphaels single exists (the single was custom pressed in Toronto by Quality Records).

As for The Raphaels, they fell apart at the close of 1966, right around the same time The Skaliwags were breaking apart. In early 1967, Raphaels member Pete Christensen joined up with the remaining Skaliwags for a second stab at fame"

Members were:  David (Dave) Leroux: Lead vocals and lead guitar
Claude Gravel: Rhythm guitar and vocals
Peter Christensen: Bass guitar and vocals
Daryl Wadsworth: Organ and vocals
Greig Lund: Drums and vocal

Citizen Freak website puts a value of this record at $600.   I don't expect to get that much...but I'm starting it off at 9.75, just to see what happens. 

If nobody bids early I might have to take it off the listing.  So bid early.
