Black Diamonds
Outside looking inSuper Rare OZ Promo 45" released in 1967 on Festival Records. Cat.FK1693. B-side is "Not this time". The Black Diamonds hailed from Lithgow, in the Blue Mountains of NSW, west of Sydney, and their name denoted those origins, Lithgow being a prominent coal-mining town. Alan Oloman and Alan Keogh first worked together in the Lithgow rockabilly band Johnny Kett's Black Diamonds, which evolved into The Black Diamonds in 1965. Their musical excellence and striking originality were evident from the start -- the group reportedly had a repertoire of more than 30 original songs, and three of their first four sides were composed by band members. Managed by 2LT Lithgow DJ Bob Jolly, they played widely around the state, remaining based in Lithgow, they eventually decided to relocate to Sydney during 1967. Their second single "Outside Lookin' In" b/w "Not this Time" (the band's second and last single) came out on Festival during 1967. The B-side, a cracking original by Olly, has at last reappeared on the terrific Ace Records compilation Hot Generation but as far as we know the A-side has not yet made it onto CD. We believe that the A-side, "Outside Lookin' In", is a cover of a song written by J.J. Cale (then known as John Cale); it was originally released as the b-side of his second solo single, issued on the American Liberty label in 1966, just after the original version of his song "After Midnight". If this is correct, it would surely qualify The Black Diamonds as the first band in the world to record a song by this much-covered artist (in fact, J.J. Cale would remain unknown in this country until the early Seventies, when he scored a major hit with "Crazy Mama". The band later changed named to Tymepiece and released three singles and a now much sought after Prog LP. (Quoted from the wonderful Milesago website). Both tracks are wonderful examples of Australian garage obviously influenced by Easybeats
Record has a promo sticker, a number written in black marker pen and a small section of a sticker on the A-side of label. B-side label is free of any marks or stickers. The record has light scuffing and very light scratches. Record has some light crackles throughout and plays in VG+ condition.
