Bassist/vocalist Niel Merryweather released 3 solo lp's in the late '60's before forming blues/hard rock band Heavy Cruiser and issued 2 albums. In 1974 he released Space Rangers followed by the very heavy/glam/psych Kryptonite.

 

[Groovy Man]

My favourite song from a Canadian Artist

They only released one album. The date is wrong on the video. It's from 1973.

Wow Joe, had a flashback listening to that old Painter song.

Here's another one, from Ian Thomas.(He's the older brother of Dave Thomas of SCTV fame.)

^ Remeber it well. I think I had that on a "Sound Explosion" Lp from K-Tel records. Remember that label?

^^Indeed I do remember K-Tel records Joe.

You know what though?...I never bought one in my entire life collecting vinyl. I don't know if they are on CD's there are so many compilations on different labels now I might have a CD of theirs under a different name now....There commercials were...so obnoxious, like beating you over the head to buy this album or you'll miss out on something spectacular.

I picked up his ST debut album about a month ago now.
