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 Kids is actually the A side. I’m in contact with Bev, Tom, and the families of Gary L and Bob. Vic passed some time ago. Planning a full audio restoration of this and the entire Target catalog over the next few years.
