THE MOTIONS —- BROOKPARK

From 1964 comes a killer release from a suburb of Cleveland. This is The Motions’ third release out a mere total of four. See Buckeye Beat link in sidebar for a shot & some info on the band. Word has it, they were all in their early teens and were a rage around the clubs on the north shore! This side reminds me of something Man or AstroMan! might have done…but it was recorded approx. 40yrs before their existance!

The Motions- Land Beyond The Moon

THE COLUMBUS PHARAOHS —- COLUMBUS

With only one mid-60’s 45rpm release, Dayton’s The Vacant Lot was host to local talent Roger Sayre. The band morphed from another which was called The X-cellents. The hunt is on for something by them! Some cool keyboards heard on this side.
