Anyone remember the Graham Bond Organisation (sp) from the early to mid- 1960’s. Band members beside Graham were Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Dick Heckstall-Smith and John McLaughlin. What a talented line-up, who were the first ever to play jazz-rock.
I accidentally came across one of their albums in my collection tonight, "The Sound of ’65", and played it. Even though they all must have been youngsters at the time, these future stars and virtuosos sounded pretty good.
I looked up what other albums they made back then. Their output was four records, "The Sound of ’65"’, " There’s a Bond Between Us", "Solid Bond", and the live "One Night at Klooks Cleek". I checked out what these obscure records were going for on Ebay and Discogs, which was too much.
But fortuitously, when putting "The Sound of ’65" away, I spotted the other three albums sitting on the same shelf. They had been played once and forgotten about for the next fifty years. Made me laugh. I was a completist record collector nut back then too.
