THE EYES OF MIND - TALES OF THE TURQUOISE UMBRELLA (1984)
Let's go back to California. The Eyes Of Mind were a spinoff from L.A psychpunk geniuses Three O'Clock, this band had an even more fey, marvelously twee sound that was so reminiscent of British art pop circa 1967 that they were hooked up with original British production wizard Mark Wirtz (Tomorrow, etc...) who brought all his Abbey Road skills to bear in creating this endlessly wonderful album, the band's only surviving epitaph. Members included Jamie Phelan (guitar, lead vocals), Mark Kuhlman (Keyboards, harmony vocals), Rick Tracy (bass) and finally Troy Howell (drums) who had previously played with Michael Quercio in Salvation Army.
Songs.
Dream Life / Alice / With You Again / She Only Knows / Time / Yesterday's Gone / She's Got Stars / The Game / Train / This Place Before

thank you for helping fill the void left by PPL. i've never heard of these guys, but i love three o'clock so i'm getting it.
Find out what Mark Wirtz is doing now on his website http://www.markwirtz.com and read his new comedy blog
great - never thought i'd see it on a blog. as an owner of an original vinyl copy i can say the cover is great in its full 12"
Interesting! My copy only has the first 6 songs, and I bought it when it first came out on Voxx Records.
I played in a garage band on a bill with these guys in 1983 and, well...they weren't very good in my opinion. I didn't even know they'd made a record. I will be very interested to hear this (they sure got further along than the band I was in).
