THE EPICS : COLUMBUS

From 1966 comes a rare punker by The Epics on the DOLPHIN label. Not much info on this one. It does show up on Highs in The Mid-Sixties... Ohio vol. 2.

The Epics-White Collar House

HALF & HALF : CINCINNATI

Very little info here on this 1981 release by Half & Half. Guessing they wey from the Cinci area based on the label. Classic early '80s R&B.

Half & Half-You Got All My Love

THE LIVIN' END : DAYTON

Here's a raw punker from '67 by The Livin' End. This one has made later appearances on several comp. LPs. I believe this was their only release.


The Livin' End-You're% My Woman

THE GREAT SOCIETY : CINCINNATI

From June 1967 comes this offering by The Great Society. This was the first label the band released it on. A later release was on COUNTERPART.

BERT GREEN : CLEVELAND

From 1971 comes a taste of north-shore soul by Bert Green. Not much info here to add.

Bert Green-It's All Your Fault

THE VACANT LOT : DAYTON

With only one mid-60's 45rpm to their name, Dayton's The Vacant Lot was host to local talent Roger Sayre. The band morphed from another which was called The X-cellents. Hopefully, I will discover something from them....

The Vacant Lot-This Little Feelin'

D.A.B. EXPRESS : CINCINNATI

From 1978 comes a James Brown sounding funk/soul side from D.A.B Express. This one is a favorite for some northern soul collectors...demanding big $$ several years ago.
