Baby Food - two unreleased tunes.

[Sancho Panza]

I don't remember how I obtained these, but I found them today.

Baby Food was a band from San Fernando Valley and featured Mike Gannon on guitar and vocals, John Miller on bass and Joe Dooley on drums. They were called Butch Stoner and The Nomads in the beginning and, according to some sources, had Ted Greene as a member sometimes.

Mike Gannon would join up with The Electric Prunes and can be seen on the European footage from late '67. He is also writer of both songs, which were produced by Mike Lowe of The Electric Prunes.
I don't know really what genre they can be put in, but to some extent psychedelic-garage-pop-rock (??). Listen and judge, they are two really good songs, especially "Funny Caroline".

THANKS for sharing.

I've been talking to Joe Dooley for some time now and he's wondering if anyone can release some of the tracks that he recorded with The Nomads during the 60s. He did send me a copy of some songs, but it was just burned on a CD with a front cover done in Paint, at least that was what it looked like. Most of the songs are dance like numbers. I've been asked by him to ask around if anyone is interesting in releasing to a wider audience, so I'm just passing on the word.

Does he have enough for a full LP or CD? I'm not sure what to make of "dance like numbers" but you can have him contact me at 60sgaragebands.com if he's interested. I'll gladly give them a listen. I've hooked many bands up with labels and will gauge any potential interest.

Nice! Strong Anglophile vibes along the lines of Colours, The Moon and Beauregard Ajax.

This would make for a very fine stand alone 7" release!

Funny Caroline as the a-side!
