THE CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND

a place to be for a band that didn't exist anymore). They hadn't played a note together in almost 15 years, 

but their original albums were changing hands for $100 apiece or more, and a series of vinyl reissues, first as bootlegs 

from France and later legit ones from Australia, were selling around the world, and in numbers 

that only increased as more people had a chance to hear them. What's more, the group's sound was starting 

to be emulated in the work of then-current bands, playing obscure clubs in places like New York's Chelsea district 

and other locales as far east as the District of Columbia, made up of teenagers who were too young ever 

to have seen or heard the Watchband play, and living 3,500 miles east of where the Watchband played out 

its existence, and most of its gigs, two decades before. The group had reached this paradoxical situation 

-- nonexistence juxtaposed with a burgeoning cult of admirers around the world -- simply by being 

the best garage band of the '60s, or, at least, the best one ever to have had a serious recording career

The Chocolate Watchband's debut album, No Way Out was also their most heavily 

Rolling Stones-influenced album, but appreciating the album and what's on it (and what's not) 

requires some explanation. Released in September of 1967, No Way Out came at the end 

of the band's first 15 months of existence, a period that encompassed the recording and release 

of four singles of generally extraordinary quality, and as good as anything heard from any

 garage band anywhere during that period. Just two of those single tracks, 

"Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In)" and "No Way Out," ended up on the original 

ten-track LP, but even they could (and should) have been the core 

of an immensely powerful LP...(AllMusic)
