THE IDES OF MARCH "Common Bond"
The Ides of March is an American jazz rock band that had a major North American and minor UK hit with the song "Vehicle" in 1970. Having secured a recording contract with Warner Bros Records in 1970 the band released the track "Vehicle", which allegedly became the fastest-selling single in Warner's history. Fourteen seconds of the completed "Vehicle" master tape (primarily the guitar solo) were accidentally erased in the recording studio.
The missing section was spliced in from a previously discarded take. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 6 on the corresponding Cash Box listings and No. 3 in Canada. It sold over one million copies, and was
awarded a gold disc in November 1972. The following album, Vehicle, reached No. 55 nationally.
The band toured extensively throughout 1970 in support of many top acts, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin. The Ides of March were also among the participants in the "Festival Express" train tour documented in a 2003 film, although they were not featured in the film.
In 1971, the band released this, their second album Common Bond. The featured single was "L.A. Goodbye". The song was at No. 1 on regional charts for five weeks, No. 2 on WCFL Chicago, No. 5 on WLS Chicago, No. 63 in Canada, but only No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This very rare promotional only copy of this 1971 album is brand new, still sealed in shrinkwrap. See pictures. Has been carefully stored in a smoke-free and pet-free environment for many years. See pictures. What you see is what you get.
