The Crimson Shades (Cinemasound)
The Crimson Shades were from Toledo, Ohio. In late 1964 the band released their only record on the Cinema sound label. "Don't Chase Me Away" and "I Wrote My Love A Letter" are original songs by the group. Both have a swirling organ sound. Nice record.

ReplyDeletestay cool bro!
Hi Michael
ReplyDeleteThe group had talent. I was reading on the Buckeye Beat website that the group had what they called "The Toledo Sound". I was thinking of what are some of the coolest band names from the 1960's. For me The Crimson Shades would rank up there in top 30. Thank you for your comments
The Everly Brothers visit the Carnival of Souls! A truly weird, muddled sound. Nothing else like these two sides!
ReplyDeleteHi Frank. "Don't Chase Me Away" is real nice. The flip "I Wrote My Love A Letter" sounds like it may have been recorded at a different time or location. Maybe in a open theater.
ReplyDeletebro, this is just o let you know I've just prepared my Artyfacts5 CD and it's a blast! strangly, from the wildest and crudest to the moody ones, they all share the same taste... a delight, thx alot!
ReplyDeleteMy Uncle Glenn Dupuis & his brother in law Ernie Fodor wrote & performed these song with 4 other band members & many more at KATO Club on Main St. In East Toledo. They never got the recondition they deserved. Like there good friend Johnny Paris & The Hurricanes did.
ReplyDeleteThe music was recorded in a Music Recording studio on Tracy Rd. Northwood Ohio There is more recordings that were on a 33 1/3 record that I listened to at my Uncles home. The influence besides Johnny & the Hurricanes was Little Richard. I have photos on the song writers & more, Including business cards. Not sure how to post pictures & music on here.
