Guerssen Tomorrow Never Comes [VINYL]

Top-shelf previously unreleased psychedelic pop from 1967-68 by this post-Lomax Alliance Anglo-American trio. A mix of West Coast / Swingin’ London sounds with killer vocal harmonies, fuzz guitar, tape/studio effects... Think psych-era Beatles, Byrds, Nazz, Buffalo Springfield, Colours, The Moon... The convulsed story of Rain involves Brian Epstein, The Beatles, Merseybeat, Liverpool, New York, Linda Eastman (who photographed the band) and more... Basically, when the Brian Epstein-managed band Lomax Alliance parted ways with their frontman Jackie Lomax (who was about to embark on a George Harrison-assisted solo career), his colleagues in Lomax Alliance - guitarist John Cannon, bassist Tom Caccetta and drummer Bugs Pemberton - left London behind to relocate to New York, where they changed their name to Rain (after his favourite Beatles track) and recorded a full album with producer Chris Huston (The Undertakers, Young Rascals). Despite the outstanding production, top notch songwriting and superb musicianship, the album never left the acetate stage. The trio played at the Fillmore and did more studio work under the Gypsy Wizards Band name that remained also unreleased, before disbanding in 1969. “Tomorrow Never Comes” includes all the tracks from the Rain acetate, recorded 1967-68, plus two songs from the Gypsy Wizards Band one (1968-69). *Vintage styled artwork in hard cardboard sleeve *Remastered sound *Insert with liner notes by David Wells and rare photos / memorabilia “...tracks like the Revolver-esque "No Deposit, No Return", the proudly hallucinogenic "Sapphire Skies", "One Is All, All Is One" and "Midnight Blue" shared the same Beatles-inspired canvas of psychedelic-era melodic invention, love and peace lyrical sentiments and dazzling close harmony vocal work...” - David Wells Product Details Artist: RAIN Title: Tomorrow Never Comes Catalogue Number: GUESS265 Barcode: 4255805500347 Label: GUERSSEN Tracklisting A1.
