Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
This New Jersey flower power pop quintet first attracted attention when they recorded Younger Girl, a John Sebastian song from the first Lovin' Spoonful album. The 45 gave them the first of their four U.S. hits and their first album was a delightful summery disc.
Originally called The Vibra-Tones, when they signed up to Kama Sutra Records, they were forced to record covers although the band had a large amount of original material ready. After recording the Jackie DeShannon song Children And Flowers for their first Kama Sutra single, the band wanted the Don-Ciccone original, Mr Dieingly Sad for their second but when the label insisted on Younger Girl, four of the members went on strike rather than record the song. Subsequently, only Don and Kenny appeared on the single.
The record company then relented and Mr Dieingly Sad became their biggest hit. Soon after Don and Bob left to join the Air Force and a few months later, Jack Decker was drafted. Chris Darway then left to return to college and Jimmy Ryan and Kenny Gorka were left to carry the name with some hired musicians
In late '67 they signed to Enoch Light's Project 3 label, whose interest lay in making interesting use of cutting edge recording technology rather than music per se. they were subsequently featured on Light's "Popular Science" series of stereo/quad test LP's.
Jim Ryan later worked with Carly Simon and Gumhill Road, Kenny Gorka went on to Steeplechase, an altogether heavier outfit whose LP, Lady Bright is quite collectable. He later became the manager of The Bitter End in New York City; Don Ciccone went off to write songs (for the Innocence) and later joined The Four Seasons, whilst Chris Darway became "Inventor in Residence" at Princeton University.~ (Max Waller / Joe Foster / Vernon Joynson/Lloyd Peasley/Stephane Rebeschini)
