Central Nervous System - I Could Have Danced All Night 1969

This underground rock outfit operated out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Lilly and Billard had previously played together in Five Sounds and were also connected with Great Scots. When the band split in 1969 Harris and Oakley went on to Soma, who made two 45's for Aquarius in the early '70s; Billard and White joined Pepper Tree who made a string of 45's and an album for Capitol in the 1970's and Cassidy and Jollimore joined Lighthouse who, of course, had a prolific recording output in the first half of the '70s.

This is really a good-time dance/pop/soul album with some occasional fuzz guitar. It was produced by Tom Wilson and recorded at the Record Plant in New York. All bar one of the tracks were originals by Billard and Jollimore, but that other track, a Lonnie Mack composition "Why" is the best of the album. Thanks to hippy-djkit.blogspot.com
