I think these are really the same records but with different covers.

Especially the first track. Check out the Spokesmen "Dawn Of Correction" LP and the first Pearls Before Swine LP.

to me the Hamilton Camp has a much sadder tone than anything S$G ever did. ive got that Pearls Before Swine, how is that Spokesmen?

It's mainly covers, but it's a little more up beat than S&G. It's not for everyone but there are some cool tracks.

just making sure this thread isn't broken.

Folkwise, I'm digging all the Pentangle and related output. Start there and branch out.

Hamilton Camp is in Eating Raoul. He's sort of a cornball but I keep his other album "Here's To You."

I have a single of their only hit, "Dawn Of Correction" (answer record to "Eve Of Destruction"). I like it, but I doubt if they should be mentioned in a folk thread. I think (but I'm not sure) that the group was a trio of Brill Building songwriters who wrote and recorded "D.O.C." just to cash in on the folk-rock thing (big shit in '65, or whenever that came out).

This one's not bad - some claim Hendrix copped his arrangement of "Hey Joe" from the version on here. I'm not sold on that, but it is a damn good version. Has some of those highly regarded "funky tinges" too, courtesy of Pretty Purdie on drums and up in the mix, as well as Chuck Rainey on a couple of tracks, etc.

Tim Hardin's albums can be found everywhere for pennies, and they all have some good tracks on them. The "Best of" above is a nice collection of tracks from the first 2 Verve albums, and is definitely worth spending the dollar it will cost you on. The one below, though, Suite for Susan Moore, I think is the most likely to bear

stamp-of-approval...a little harder to pull than the Verve stuff, but still easily available. Get a clean copy, though, cause it's a quiet album:
