SO GLAD I FOUND YOU: consists primarily of previously unreleased tracks.
They preferred alcohol to acid, tight arrangements to lengthy jams, and went to college while others dropped out. So what were they doing on the mid-'60s San Francisco rock scene? Named after a misheard lyric from Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, the Mystery Trend paid infrequent visits to the studio, releasing only one single during two years together, but gained the respect of fellow Frisco ballroom bands such as the Great Society. This collection of all of Mystery Trend's known studio recordings and usable demo performances documents the brief history of one of the great lost bands of the '60s.
The Trend's precision-arranged two-minute masterpieces were mostly self-penned, the two exceptions being Smiley Lewis' Shame, Shame, Shame (Miss Roxie) and a quaint Americanized version of Substitute-where the band takes great pains to avoid Townshend's lyric about the subject's dad being black! There it Happened Again has an almost Bacharach-like middle eight; House on the Hill has sinister undertones lurking behind that whimsical facade. A little ragged on the harmonies, perhaps, but up there with the best of the '60s garage set. The only mystery about the Mystery Trend is why these nuggets weren't issued the first time around.
this albums come from the mid-1960s vaults of Frank Werber's Trident Productions - the band was renowned as one of the first alternative rock groups from San Francisco, with artful, accomplished sound, similar to the Zombies, Kinks or Lovin' Spoonful.
