Jennifer's Friends - Visions / Land Of Make Believe (1968)


Τυχαία άκουσα ένα κομμάτι, έψαξα για αυτούς αλλά όπως συνήθως συμβαίνει σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις οι πληροφορίες είναι ανύπαρκτες. Διαμάντι το Vision και πολύ ευχάριστο το Land Of Make Believe.

Very little is known about this band. They are believed to be from the New Haven, CT area due to their sole single charting on a local radio station there in the summer of 1968. Both sides of the 45 are excellent, with the A-side being more of a well crafted pop-psych orchestration and the B-side a slower, more moody piece.

Maybe I can help. Their live performances were wonderful!! Full use of Da-Glo face paint with a lead singer that had a complete Charlie Manson thing going. Matt Laughton, the guitarist had a career as a dept. head at Bridgeport Hospital. The record could have been a hit. I wish I had a quiet copy. At 15, I followed them around Southern Ct. and sat in twice on guitar. The Fire Marshall was always on hand as their big thing was setting their amps on fire!!!. I was there...Bob

I have never seen the Astor yellow and black label before. I have the U.S. MGM-Buddha label single.

Jennifer’s Friends had Ben Mochan who later went on in the band , Smokey John Bull. He passed away on a sailing accident a few years back.


Thanks for offering. It was said by a relative that they were signed to Arista, but nothing was released, only on on Buddah in the states, so possibly tapes in vaults, once again.
