After releasing a couple of James Brown covers (“Out of Sight” and “I Love You, Yes I Do”) on Justice Records (which now trade among collectors for $200-$300), the band released their second single in 1968 on AMH Records. More than a decade later, both tracks from that session appeared on Ken Friedman’s now legendary “Tobacco A Go-Go Volume One” album documenting the 1960’s garage band scene in North Carolina. The album’s opening track is the band’s cover of the Five Americans’ “I See The Light.” That track along with “Our Time To Try,” which the band wrote along with song writer/producer/musician John Santa, has also appeared on numerous other compilations....
