The Illusion - If It's So 1970
By some standards, the Illusion was one of the most successful unknown psychedelic bands of their generation -- unknown, yes, but with three LPs to their credit on the Steed label. Their personnel included Michael Ricciardella (drums), Richie Cerniglia (guitar), Chuck Alder (bass), Mike Maniscalco (guitar, keyboards), and John Vinci (vocals). The Steed label released Illusion, Together, and If It's So between 1969 and 1970. The illusion was interesting enough to observers to merit a release in England in 1969. By 1971, the Illusion's albums were being sought by kids who'd never heard the band play. One of their songs, "I Love You," has made it on to compact disc. AMG.

Much as I love canned AMG record reviews, I would say this in spite of the pipe smoking Anglophiles which are allowed to write this tripe ... The Illusion were a great rhythm and blues band. A great dance floor filler. Mr. Put me in the pipe and smoke didn't mention "Did You See Her Eyes" tells me he never ever listened to them. Thanks for posting, as out of sync as the reviewer was who obviously can't dance.
