The Blue Condition — “Once There Was a Girl”, The Impressions — “I’ve Been Trying”, Pete Townshend — “Day of Silence”: Brace for the Obscure (60s rock)! — September 13, 2021

117) The Blue Condition — “Once There Was a Girl”

I don’t know much about this group, but it laid down some mesmerizing garage rock on this ’67 B-side.

118) The Impressions — “I’ve Been Trying”

One of those wonderful B-sides overshadowed by the iconic status of the A side — in this case, “People Get Ready.” “Trying” did reach #133 and #35 on the R&B chart in February of ’65.

119) Pete Townshend — “Day of Silence”

Such a comforting song, on Pete’s “Happy Birthday” album in ’70 honoring his spiritual guide, Meher Baba, shortly after his death.
