The Fun Band - Welcome To The Circle / It's Good. 1968 USA ~ Connecticut


One of those under the radar singles you'd think would be more well known and sought after. First side is high energy fuzzy funk, and you long for the guitarist to rip a solo. The b) side is even better, focusing primarily on Hammond with some horns and fuzz in the background. This one let's loose on the organ, and even features a couple of proggy breaks. Who were these guys anyway? And why isn't anyone into them? It's got the right sound. You can pick this 45 up dirt cheap online.

Own. My copy is the other promo but there's not a good photo of it on Discogs.

Energy - Nowhere to Hide / Fight For Your Freedom. 1983 England


Though labeled as part of the NWOBHM scene, you'll be looking for the data on supporting the metal claim. More like a punky hard rock, though the B) side does feature some thoughtful instrumental work.

Found this for a buck at a local vintage shop. Tempting to keep this because I'm a fan of the movement. But this one is just too blase for me. It does not appear that the album listed ever came out.
