Shit...that's gotta be worth some coin. After spending the summer on the west coast in 1967 I returned home to Boston. There was this venue there called the Psychedelic Super Market. It was huge---like Leslie West huge. I saw Yes there with King Crimson and this new band called Genesis. Anyway, Ultimate Spinach, The Beacon Street Union, two Boston bands, used to play there quite often. I don't remember the reason, but I was back home in Gloucester a couple of times in the late 60's and one night I saw a band from Marblehead at the Supermarket that George Martin had produced. The band was called Seatrain. They blew me away.

Didn't Seatrain have former members from The Blues Project? I read somewhere that The Blues Projects' album "Planned Obsolescence" was in fact Seatrain, could be wrong, but I will try to find it. Danny Kalb is a really underrated guitarist by the way!

When I was reading a bio on the group it was mentioned that guys from the Blues Project had interfaced with some of the original Seatrain members.

Planned Obsolecence is indeed the "first' Sea Train LP, done as the Blues Project owed Verve Forecast another LP under their contract. The members of Sea Train never regarded this as their legitimate debut LP; that would appear on A&M in '69. I guess you could say that Planned Obsolescence is to the Blues Project as Squeeze is to the Velvet Underground. I do know that when Polygram issued a 2 CD Blues Project anthology in 1997, nothing from this LP was deemed worthy of inclusion.

You're right! Gotta prepare for a long journey. Think I start with the first Indiana Jones movie to get in the right mood :)
