Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Angels Forever New - LP - APL1-0569 Sealed 1974 Original. more
	Elephant's Memory New - LP - SMAS 3389 Sealed 1972 Original Housed In A Heavy-Duty Gatefold Cover. Small Bottom Seam Split. Although Chiefly Remembered These Days For Their Role As John Lennon's Loose And Ragged Backup Band On His 'Some Time In New York City' Album From 1972, Elephant's Memory Have A Bit More To Their History Than That. Formed In 1967 By Drummer Rick Frank And Saxophonist And Clarinetist Stan Bronstein, Who Reportedly Met On The New York City Strip-Joint Circuit, The Group Specialized In An Eclectic Frank Zappa-Like Mix Of Psychedelia, Jazz, And Acid-Tinged Rock, And Delivered A Truly Bizarre Stage Show Complete With Inflatable Stage Sets. Their First Album, Simply Called Elephant's Memory, Was Released In 1969 On Buddah Records, A Label More Famous For Bubblegum Pop Groups Than Whacked-Out Horn Bands. Two Tracks From The LP, "Jungle Gym At The Zoo" And "Old Man Willow," Found Their Way Onto The Midnight Cowboy Movie Soundtrack Later That Year, Which Gave The Group Some Visibility, But It Didn't Exactly Translate Into Sales For The Debut Album. A Second LP, 1970's Take It To The Streets, Had Even Less Commercial Impact. Then Came John Lennon And Some Time In New York City, And Elephant's Memory Had Their Moment In The Sun. They Released A Third Album, Also Called Elephant's Memory And Featuring David Peel, On Apple Records Later That Year, Then Backed Up Yoko Ono On 1973's Approximately Infinite Universe. Angels Forever, Which Turned Out To Be The Group's Swan Song, Appeared In 1974.” – Steve Leggett, All Music Guide more

	Elephants Memory Used - LP - BDS 5033 Beautiful 1969 Gatefold Original, Small COH. Tiny Top Seam Tear. “This Is The 1969 Debut Long-Player From The Extended Big Apple-Based Ensemble Elephants Memory. As Such, It Should Not Be Confused With Their 1972 Release On The Apple Records Label, Featuring John Lennon And Yoko Ono. Instead, This 11-Song Collection Is From An Earlier Lineup That Would, Among Other Things, Gain Significant Visibility For Their Contributions To The Film Midnight Cowboy And Its Subsequent Soundtrack 1969. Musically, The Combo Were Multi-Faceted On The Jazzy "R.I.P." And The Uptempo Opener, "Dont Put Me On Trial No More," They Display A Soulful Horn-Driven Vibe, While "Super Heep," "Brief Encounter," And "Jungle Gym At The Zoo" Are Decidedly Trippier And Slightly Reminiscent Of The Electric Flag Or The Incipient Incarnation Of Al Koopers Blood, Sweat Tears. Two Of The More Interesting Pieces On Elephants Memory Are The Catchy Pop Ditty "Crossroads Of The Stepping Stone," A Song That Could Easily Be Mistaken For A Sopwith Camel Outtake, And The Pseudo-Ragtime "Yogurt Song," Which Is As Much A Sly Parody Of The Granola-Lovin Generation As It Is A Stab At The Jug Band Sound That Inspired Artists Such As The Charlatans And New Vaudeville Band.” Lindsay Planer, AMG. more
