The Flower Pot Men were a California-obsessed British sunshine-psych group from the Late 60's. The band was a studio group created by ex-members John Carter and Ken Lewis, of The Ivy League and Carter-Lewis & The Southerners. The Ivy League were known for recording vocal harmonies for The Who's early records, as well as recording the first version "My World Fell Down", which later became a famous non-hit for Sagittarius. After The Flower Pot Men, John Carter wrote the smash hit "Beach Baby" for First Class.
The Flower Pot Men was a studio project for John Carter, and Keith Lewis, who got a minor hit at the tail end of the Summer Of Love with "Let's Go To San Francisco", and had released 4 more singles, one under the moniker Friends. Though none of those singles were hits, and the group dissolved in 1970. Over all, the band recorded a couple LP's worth of tunes, this album compiles the highlights of their recordings. I would highly recommend this album to fans of the late 1960's Beach Boys, and The Byrds.

ReplyDeleteAll these files were on another computer, which ended up dying a month or so ago, along with megaupload it seems. I think my room mate might have them on his computer, if he does I'll reupload ASAP.
