Trevor Lucas - Overlander (1966)
Lucas' solo album will most likely come as a surprise to those who know his work from Fotheringay and Fairport Convention. It's pure traditional British folk, featuring his guitar and deep vocals complemented by violin and accordion, without a trace of rock or folk-rock. It's competent but standard fare, comprised almost wholly of traditional tunes ("Waltzing Matilda" being the most familiar) and not one Lucas original. "South Australia" puts a bit of a spin on the genre, as there are relatively few British folk-styled performances with lyrics about Australia, rather than the British Isles. This rarity is primarily recommended to Fairport fanatics curious about the roots of one of Fairport Convention's second-line members; dozens if not hundreds of similar albums in the style have been made by other performers.Originally posted on the first days of april,2009.

Five D (1965/68)
Here`s a comp.
Five D/5d/5 d/ 5 D.
This pop/rock group from Ottawa, Ontario, started out as The Fifth Dimension in 1965 but had to change name to avoid problems with the better-known American band.
Later recruits to the band were Mark Corbin (gtr, vcls) and Jim Pugliaro (drms). Their most successful 45 was Running Round In Circles, which rose to No. 72 on 19th August 1967. They relocated to Toronto in late 1967. Their final live appearance in July 1968 saw them play as a back-up orchestra with The Who, The Troggs and Ohio Express. The original members have performed at several re-union gigs in Ottawa since the late eighties.
