Graf Zepplin - You're In My Mind (1968)

Graf Zepplin - You're In My Mind (1968)

*Bob Blumenthal - keyb, voc
*John Armour - lead gi
*Bill Steed - bg, voc
*Dave Green - dr
*Gary Knaus - rhythm gi

This group formed in 1966 and hailed from the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL. They were all teenagers attending Oak Park and nearby River Forest high schools. Their name more or less originated when Steed misspelled "Zeppelin" on his bass drum and, instead of going out and buying a new one, the band opted to go with the incorrect spelling of "Zepplin". As a side note, the Graf Zeppelin was a World War II era German aircraft carrier.

The band issued one 45 (the excellent 'You're In My Mind' b/w 'Sunset!') on the Orlyn label in 1968, with the A-side penned by Blumenthal and the B-side by Blumenthal and Knaus. The well placed sound effects in 'You're In My Mind' were created by an oscillator and inserted by the record's producer and sound engineer after the track was recorded. The band stayed together into 1969 until Blumenthal graduated high school.

psych is for me no " I need drugs" it is only for me " it was the best art of free pop - a test for more understand between people for peace"

atheist, chatolic, jews, islam, buddhist & all the no here with name - we have only this one planet & we need understand against war - this is the idea of psych ( a dream world ) but who is the better idea ?

@udor1962 Yes, i agree. ...the overall ideology of the 60´s psychedelic times was peace. love & understanding. Mind altering substances were optional extras, for fun, or for those who needed their middle eye opening up to the "op art" and free thinking way of the world.

With this "tubular army of enlightenment" web-edelic connection WE have the best idea ! ...that is to spread those all important words Peace Love & Understanding

"You Are In My Mind"
