More of a folk-rock band than a psychedelic band Stained Glass started out in 1966 playing Beatles cover versions in San Jose. Originally recording for RCA they issued a series of singles. The first two, which were a mixture of folk and Merseybeat, met with some local success. The best was We Got A Long Way To Go, a driving rock song with immediate appeal, which was a big hit in San Jose during April 1967.
They moved to Capitol in the Spring of 1968, issuing three singles and two albums. Of the six 45 sides on Capitol only Lady In Lace is non-LP. Both albums were quite highly-rated, but failed to make much impact and the band disbanded in November 1969, although McPherson went on the play with Copperhead.
Second, and regarded by some as the better of the band's 2 albums that they recorded for Capitol in the late '60s. Formed in 1966, stained glass began life as a Beatles cover band and then mutated into a pop psych rock outfit with Quicksilver Messenger Service leanings. They performed in and around their native San Jose until an A & R man from RCA signed them to the label later that year. Vocalist/bass player Jim McPherson would go on to form Copperhead with John Cippolina after this final Stained Glass Release which had a looser, more jamming feel than the previous album. Highly recommended to any US psych fan.
