From Alliance, Ohio, Morly Grey were a psychedelic rock band featuring Tim & Mark Roller (guitar and bass respectively), Paul Cassidy (Drums), and Randy Byron formerly of the Comin' Generation on guitar, but was not in the band for long. During the recording sessions Cassidy was not able to perform so Bob LaNave was brought in on drums. Each side of the lP was recorded at different studios with different drummers. "The only Truth" was released in 1972 (some magazines & collectors guides have the wrong date of release as 1969) the confusion may come from the albums catalog number bein 69000. Prior to the album, the band released a very rare self-released 45 called "Sleepy Softness" which is much lighter. (The b-side is the song played backwards). The albums first single was "Who can I Say You Are?, most copies of this pressing incorrectly list the title of the album "The First Supper"
Original copies of this album are in the high three digits. The album is strong all the way through and initially came wit a poster. BEWARE this LP has been counterfeited!!
In the 1980's Starshine records owner Floyd phillips released two outtakes on a 45.

Early 70's Danish Blues/Hard Rock band that had two names: Sensory System and a parallel german career as Sensory started playing out in early 1970 and recorded their debut LP in 1972, however it wasn't released until 1974, In 1973 the band toured Norway and W Germany and in '74, their debut album was released in Denmark as Sensory System, the lp titled "Sensory!" and in Germany simply as a self titled lp. "Sensory". In 1975 their second album was released wit two band names as well only the album title was the same on both releases. "What we Are."
They disbanded in 1976.
Reminiscent of Alex Harvey or James Gang.
DAMN I love it when this shit happens! I spend a lot of time on the computer researching more obscure, more relevant, and even more worldwide music than anyone I know. And when a comp. comes along that's done as much, if not, but EVEN MORE research than myself, it forces me to step up my game. However since I don't release albums (anymore) I use these as a tool rather than competition. And when a tool of this sort comes around, it's something VERY special!!!
Consider the fuel at hand here for a fool like me. THANKS Riding Easy Records, for doing so much of my homework for me! That all being said, not since The Pebbles series has anything came remotely close to what has been done here. Brown Acid has done this and done it well.
Available from Riding Easy Records Brown Acid offers, in six volumes all the love of this webpage and more. I was contacted by lance, the curator of this massive collection who asked me if I'd "heard of it", "why yes, I have.." I replied. "...not only have I heard of it, i find it quite handy to refer to when looking for more bands to profile."
Known for releasing modern Bands such as: Monolord, The Picturebooks, Danava, and Salem's Pot, this comp series is a far out home run for Riding Easy! Incorporating Josephus, Punch, Ash, and many other artists that have been profiled here at Heavy 70's, along with more others that are new even to me, this comp series is a MUST HAVE for any serious collector of the long lost heavy sounds of the ones that slipped through the cracks or just got plain old left behind.
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT These are MUST HAVE collections!
