Lord Beverley Moss and the Moss Men (Target)
Lord Beverley Moss and the Moss Men consisted of Bob Timmers (Lead Guitar/Bass), Gary Laabs (Guitar), Vic Wendt (Keyboards /Bass), Tom Gebheim (Drums) and Lord Beverley Moss (Vocals). In Gary Meyers book "Do You Hear That Beat" the story goes that the Moss Men were looking for a lead singer. The British sound was big so the group placed a advertisement in England's "New Music News" for a singer. Lord Beverley Moss was chosen and came to the United States to sing lead vocals with the Moss Men. The group recorded only one 45. It was released on the Appleton, Wisconsin's Target record label in January 1967. Their song "Please Please What's The Matter" is great and was included on the compilation album "Highs of Mid Sixties" Volume 10. The Moss Men also did a nice cover of the Who's "The Kids Are Alright" on the flipside.

The Students
The Students released two records. Rodger Ward- 1966 and Gold Brik -1967. Their song "I Couldn't Help Falling" is featured on both 45's. With that said they have a totally different sound. I prefer the Rodger Ward version of the song much better. I also enjoy "Indiana Calling" on the flipside of the Rodger Ward 45 as well. Vinylfool did a very good in depth story about the group on his 60's Indiana Band Szene blog! Please check it out.

Sound System (Worldwide)
Another obscure record on the blog today, The Sound System on the Worldwide label. In Mike Markesich's "Teen Beat Mayhem" his research says the group was from Illinois. I'm guessing the 45 was released in 1967 or 1968. Both songs on the record are decent but I like "You Don't Know" on side one the best.
You Don't Know
Love Is A Beautiful Thing
