Description
Raw Edge – “October Country” b/w “Same” (Sidewalk 936). Great pop psych cut by the group Smoke that “Fuzz, Acid & Flowers” describes as, “A wonderful baroque pop song from the Smoke album, issued under a pseudonym. Sensitive strings and an arching melody make this obligatory for Left Banke aficionados. The Smoke formed when Michael Lloyd met Steve Baim and Stan Ayeroff through some mutual friends. They played with a few other guys as The Laughing Wind, Max Frost and The Troopers, and worked together on Michael's project as Rubber Band. Michael Lloyd had previously been working - scoring some motion pictures and producing records - with a young business executive named Mike Curb. They had met four years previously when Michael was looking for some songs for a group he was recording. Michael started to work for Mike's company (Sidewalk Productions) about 1967. Mike liked the concept and songs for The Smoke album and agreed to sign the group and release the album on his Sidewalk label. Towards the end of the project, Michael Lloyd's old friend Jimmy Greenspoon became interested in joining the band. They had been playing together for many years in outfits such as The New Dimensions. Jimmy didn't participate in the recording, but he did appear in the pictures and album cover art! While waiting for The Smoke to be released, Jimmy had and took a wonderful opportunity to become a founding member of Three Dog Night. Record is a dj copy in VG+ condition.
