Here’s a good dance floor side out of Cinci circa 1966. Not much info here, so just enjoy the cut.

Here’s a scratchy copy of a teen sound 45rpm by Andy Lauren with Jamie and the Domains.  Circa 1965. A little confusion here as a web search states the ALPINE label is based in Akron…but a Cleveland address is clearly seen on the label. The reference to Goodyear publishing does point to Akron.  Hmmmm????

Keeping the location near the Dayton area, this post gives a listen to Brookville’s The Last Exit. Released in 1967, not much info can be found on this 5-member teen band. Cool, primitive sound none the less!

From 1967 comes a release by Art Harmon. Dig the cool PIXIE label graphics where the chick spells out the label name! The PIXIE label was a house label of the Mega City Recording studio.

Here’s an ultra rare rocker out of the 50’s from Cleveland. I haven’t got much info on this gem but both sides hit it really hard.

On another north coast note, I just learned of a new book highlighting Cleveland’s famous Tommy Edwards and a lot of the early stars he had contact with as a DJ at WERE.  The book is titled: “1950’s Radio in Color : The Lost Photographs of Deejay Tommy Edwards” and is written by Christopher Kennedy.

Fans of this site, early music or Cleveland may want to check it out.
