ILL WIND
KEN FRANKEL, RICHARD GRIGGS, CAREY MANN, DAVID KINSMAN, CONNIE DEVANNEY
Originally known as The Prophets, with a singer called Judy Bradbury, this band were originally from
Wellsley, Massachusettes but based themselves in Boston. Clearly, a hippie as opposed to a punk band,
their album is a fine one, with their sound moulded by Conny Devanney's crystal clear vocals.
On tracks like Dark World, her voice is beautiful, while on others, notably the widely recorded High Flying Bird,
and Hung Up Chick and Walkin' And Singin', it blends in beautifully with that of her male counterpart, Richard Griggs.
Also of note is the unusual People Of The Night and the sleepy Full Cycle.
This album is strongly recommended if you ever come across it.
The band split up in December 1968, and Carey Mann went on to play
with Dirty John's Hot Dog Standl...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)

1968 LP ABC RECORDS ABCS-641
PRINTED IN U.S.A. ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING
This version: The album was recorded at Mayfair Studios in New York, during four weeks
in February and early March, 1968 using a one-inch 8-track machine.
A total of eleven tracks were recorded, of which nine were selected for inclusion on the album.
The album was released in June, 1968 with an initial pressing of 10,000 copies.
These were all defective, having a repeated section during High Flying Bird as well as a back cover
that was printed so dark as to be illegible. A second pressing of 2,500 copies corrected both faults.
Tracks A2 and B3 are interchanged on the cover. The label lists them correctly
