-Artist/Group: The Seeds Of Time

-Mini bio: Rock & Roll/Garage Rock group formed in 1965 in Vancouver B.C., Canada: Jeff Eddington (lead singer), Lindsay Mitchell (lead guitar/songwriter), Steve Whalley (bass), Alan Harlow (rhythm guitar), John Hall (keyboards/songwriter) and Rocket Norton (drums).

-The Seeds Of Time formed in 1965 at Winston Churchill High School in Vancouver. The band were obnoxious rock & rollers as popular for their garage-punk sound as for their notorious use of drugs, booze and there were no rules in their lives and they lived up to their mantra of "Fun! Not Boring", and didn't hesitate to show their disdain for the flower culture, so popular at the time. Inevitably their stage antics, and disdain for authority resulted in their being hounded by the police, kicked out of the Vancouver musician's union for unbecoming behaviour, banned from playing high schools, and finally were banned from the entire city of Calgary! 

-In the late 1960's and early seventies they were quite possibly the best PURE rock and roll band in Vancouver (early precursor's to Vancouver's soon to flourish punk band scene). They were never known to be in any way "full of themselves", they were what rock & roll was all about!

-Their only two singles My Home Town (1970) and Crying The Blues (1971)  captured their talent and raucous nature perfectly, but they were released 16 months apart and consequently they lost some of their fan base due to the lack of continuity and their notorious reputation started to work against the band.

-By 1975 the group drifted and Rocket Norton along with keyboardist, John Hall and two new guys, guitarist/vocalist Jerry Doucette and bassist/vocalist, Rick Enns  evolved into the Rocket Norton Band. After a couple of years and some personnel changes that band also dissolved without achieving its potential, although Jerry Doucette went on to success as a solo artist under the moniker Doucette.

-However, John Hall along with Rocket Norton rejoined Lindsay Mitchell and with Ron Tabak (vocals), Tom Lavin (guitar), Ab Bryant (bass; later Chilliwack and Headpins) and Rodney Higgs (drums) became Prism; a group that produced five billboard Top Pop Singles, 16 charted Canadian singles and sold over 2 million records in 6 short years.

-Side one: My Home Town

-My Home Town written by Lindsay Mitchell is a fast-tempo garage-rocker with Jeff Eddington's unique vocals, driving bass, drums, rhythm and lead guitars including a couple of hot solos!

-Side two: Muskrat Rumble

-Muskrat Rumble co-written written by Lindsay Mitchell and John hall is very cool fast-tempo instrumental in the style of what you might hear in a 1920's honky-tonk saloon with driving bass, keyboards, drums, strummed guitar including a neat keyboards solo followed by a guitar solo from Lindsay Mitchell....totally unexpected style of music for the b-side for sure!

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularly rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
