To all of my fellow Americans, Happy 4th of July! Today is the day we celebrate our independence, freedom and liberty. Bless all of the readers here and have a safe holiday. I am also sending out positive thoughts to the military overseas. Stay strong and make it home safe.

The Peddlers were a British pop trio of the 1960s and 1970s. The Peddlers formed in Manchester in 1964, as a trio of Trevor Morais, Tab Martin, and Roy Phillips. Morais, the drummer, had previously played with Faron's Flamingoes and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes (who had struggled to replace Ringo Starr after he had left to join The Beatles).Martin, the bassist, and Phillips, on vocals and keyboards, had both been in The Saints and The Tornados; Phillips had also been with The Soundtracks.
The trio released six singles and an EP on the Philips record label before joining CBS in 1967. The Peddlers first brushed the UK Singles Chart in 1965 with their bluesy version of the Teddy Randazzo song "Let the Sunshine In".In 1968 they released the album Freewheelers, consisting of standards sometimes adventurously arranged by Keith Mansfield (composer of the Grandstand theme music, amongst others).The follow-up, 1968's Three In A Cell, included a downtempo version of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever", from the 1965 musical of the same name, which was later heavily sampled for its bass and Hammond organ riff. The third and final CBS album, Birthday, followed in 1969, and brought the band two UK Top 40 singles in "Girlie" and "Birth". Following Birthday, The Peddlers returned to Philips. In 1971, Philips issued Georgia on My Mind, followed a year later by Suite London. The Peddlers disbanded in 1976. (wikipedia)

Da Capo is the second album by the Los Angeles-based rock group Love.
The bulk of Da Capo was recorded between September 27 and October 2, 1966.The album's first half is a departure from the group's debut, and in some ways anticipates the group's third album, Forever Changes, with its detailed, delicate arrangements. Abrasive, proto-punk rockers like "7 and 7 Is" and the harpsichord-driven "Stephanie Knows Who" are balanced by lighter fare such as McLean's florid "Orange Skies", and playful, barely-classifiable pop tunes like "¡Que Vida!."
The album's second half is a single track, notable for being among the very first rock songs to take up an entire LP side.The 19-minute jam, entitled "Revelation" began life as a live showcase for the group. (wiki)
