Stone Circus

Effective period / Period of releases: 1969

Members: Jonathan Caine (2), Sonny Haines, David Keeler, Ronnie Paige, Mike Burns (7)

This band was responsible for one of the rare and stranger Mainstream releases incorporating many diverse influences that don't always gell but certainly make for interesting listening. All the cuts are originals, written either by Jonathan Caine or a guy called Murphy, who presumably had some connection with the band, since some tracks are co-written by Caine and Murphy. The material is wide-ranging from the accessible psychpop of "Sara Wells", laid back, melodic opening cut "What Went Wrong" and uptempo "Inside-Out Man" to the highly experimental "People I Once Knew", which starts with spoken lyrics over melodic piano and later descends into lots of fuzz and organ work. The What Went Wrong / Mr. Grey, which is also in the album, is interesting too.
