Produced by Ken Mansfield, this Oregon group mixed two fluid electric guitars with vocal harmonies a la CSN&Y. The musicianship is competent and all their material was original but is not strong enough to retain attention. The album was pressed on two one-sided discs to allow continuous play on an automatic record changer! The band had another album, a private pressing from about the same time.In the eighties, a couple of the members were in FM-rockers Quarterflash.
SAND - s/t Barnaby Records BRS 15006 [4/73] The album has a gatefold cover picturing a sandwich covered in sand, with 2-one sided LPs (apparently the idea was to put both disks on a stackable turntable and play one after the other:"freeflowing Sand") - just before the 70's energy crisis made the LP expensive to produce. The band was from Portland Oregon, and included Jack Meussdorffer (aka Jack Charles, guitar/vocals), Dan Ross (steel guitar/guitar/vocals), Dan Wilson (guitar/vocals), Rich Gooch (bass/vocals), and Steve Williams (drums). Meussdorffer and Gooch later played in Quarterflash (with the hit "Harden My Heart"). 1973 Oregon band; double-album set is gimmick of two one-sided LPs (equal ... one full LP!); musically good rural/CSNY rock with nice electric guitar. The other side of each record was blank! The idea was that you'd put this on your automatic turntable (slam!) and have an uninterrupted album of music (freeflowing sand - get it?) to listen to!
