THE FIFTH ORDER : COLUMBUS

From Columbus, circa 1966...here's The Fifth Order. These sides were originally released on Cincinnati's COUNTERPART label before being picked up by DIAMOND. Check Buckeye Beat (link in sidebar) for more info on this band.

The Fifth Order-Goin' Too Far

The Fifth Order-Walkin' Away

THE COUPLINGS : DAYTON

From 1964 comes this sleazy novelty side by The Couplings. On the small PRISM label. It's short & to the point, clocking in at 1:25. I haven't dug up much more info on it. It did make an appearance on "The Big Itch Vol. 8" compilation LP.

The Couplings-Dill Tickle

LARRY THE THIRD : CINCINNATI

Yet another "find" I can't dig up info on. Per the song credit, it's Larry Smith III. Sounds mid-'60s with that folky twang. Larry The Third on the small Lucky label.

Larry the Third-Fascinating Truth

THE REFLECTIONS : MT. HEALTHY

I'm still trying to dig up info on this one. The Reflections on the small JEWEL label most likely originating from Cinci. Rusty York was involved here and he was affiliated with the legendary KING label. The sound is mid-60s with the welcomed keyboard riff. Any info....appreciated!

The Reflections-Love Is A Beautiful Thing
