Anyone knows where this comes from? The Lost Souls – "I’ve Got Time", seemingly unreleased

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Amazon Music have this to say:

"The Lost Souls never released any records, yet the meager recorded evidence that survives indicates that they were one of the finest unknown American groups of the mid-'60s, able to write both catchy British Invasion-type rockers and, in their latter days, experimental psychedelic pieces with unusual tempo changes and song structures. The band were also unusual in their occasional embellishment of the typical period guitar-bass-drums lineup with flute, sax, and mandolin. Although popular in their Cleveland hometown, they broke up in 1968 to attend college. Rhythm guitarist Dennis Carleton, who wrote and sang some of their best material, went on to briefly join the Choir, their chief (and more successful) rivals. He also played in several odd local bands in the '70s (including Moses, Milk, and the Pagans), as well as releasing solo material on his own label in the '80s that ranged from straight pop to nearly experimental. A cassette-only compilation of unreleased Lost Souls tapes appeared on Carleton's Green Light label in 1983. ~ Richie Unterberger"

Different group. The Amazon/Unterberger quote is for this group: https://lionproductions.org/pages/LOSTSOULS.html

Looks like Amazon made a mistake.

If you don’t own Lion Productions release, you should.

Just the fact that he had a stay in the Pagans is good enough for me!

 

[Al.Burnett1966]

Thanks! I sent a message to the label that took care of uploading it on platforms, hopefully we'll learn more about them

 

[Al.Burnett1966]

Acetate, rough as can be!! ("Wounds of love"??)

 

[Al.Burnett1966]

Funny that this anti-hippie song sounds rather psychedelic!

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

I think it's done deliberately in parody.

 

[bosshoss]

Noted as from Los Angeles in the latest TBM. I wasn't surprised, as I thought I noticed a (very vague) possible Zappa influence in the lyrics. I like this sort of stuff. Hippy parodies can never be bad.

 

[bosshoss]

Don't like hippies then, Boss?

There's a lot to like about hippies. And a lot to parody (if that's still legal).

The former 60s "hippies" have now banned dissent. That's what happens when the folks who were previously proud of "stickin' it to The Man" BECOME The Man. LOL

 

[Dave Baldwin]

Yet here I was hoping to be the Boss to be my hippie Robin, fighting the squares while listening to CSNY on the Bat radio..

Noisy commercial, any idea who is playing? The song is written by Jack Holmes. A 7" was pressed with the song sung by Gordon Rose and backed by Dickie Frank And The Big Apple Blues Band but it's not the same recording.

I’d liked to learn the band’s ID as well.

Some of the vocal harmonies towards the end recall the late 60s Velvet Underground line-up. I like it...

I prefer this

Yummy!

That's my favourite artist Joey Levine!!!

This is not a Youtube discovery, but a chance to hype this song.
This has grown to be a fucken TEN STAR song. The ULTIMATE teen sobber.
"And I know
and now I see
for you and the blue sky
must die
like the rat in the street"
