Dec. 3, 2011. Item No.4<br /><br />Just some stuff for your information.<br /><br />The Generation (aka Jason’s Generation) were a Manchester/Salford based based band previously known as The Lobos formed about 1965.<br />They were:-<br /><br />John Coley – Bass Guitar <br />Mike Bellis – Drums (not on session)<br />Jeff Alker – Lead Guitar <br />Mo (Maurice) Bent – Lead Vocals <br /><br />"It's Up To You"/”Insurance Companies Are Very Unfair “ was recorded in 1966 at Southern Studio Denmark St, London. The A side was written by the band, not as displayed on the label. The B side was a jam made up on the spot as we had nothing else prepared. The recording session was set up by Harvey Lisberg (Herman’s Hermits) and Charlie Silverman. It was released (Polydor 56042) in 1996 and I have not heard it since until recently. It was re-released on a compilation CD called “Purple Pill Eaters “ in 1988. Paranoid Records CD003.<br /> Some interesting things about it, Graham Gouldman (10cc etc.) is singing backup vocals. Clem Cattini (Tornados, Johnny Kidd etc.) is playing drums and John Lord (Deep Purple) is playing keyboards.<br /><br />John Douglas-Coley 2015John Douglas-Coleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764866274601700029noreply@blogger.com
