Formed in Swansea in 1965 - band members were: Wyndham Rees - vocals, from The Mustangs, Ritchie Francis - bass, from The Mustangs, Taff Williams - lead guitar, from The Mustangs, Phil Ryan - keyboards, from The Smokestacks, Gary Pickford-Hopkins - vocals, from The Smokestacks, and 'Pugwash' Weathers - drums, from The Brothers Grimm.
Previously existed as four-piece band of Wyndham Rees, Taff Williams, Ritchie Francis and Pugwash.
Starting out as a soul-based band from Neath, the Eyes Of Blue gradually turned to the
American West Coast sound. All of their recordings are quite collectable. The Eyes of Blue were exceptionally talented and this was proven when in 1965 they won the Melody Maker Battle of the Bands competition which won them a cash prize, a brand new keyboard and a recording contract with Deram Records.
The band worked in collaboration with Quincy Jones when they contributed to the 'Toy Grabbers' film score and they later appeared in the film 'Connecting Rooms'. Their albums are diverse with pop, R&B jazz, classical, psychedelic and Eastern influences. It also included good versions of Love's 7 And 7 Is and The Beatles' Yesterday. Also noteworthy are their own Inspiration For A New Day and Prodigal Son, which feature some Eastern-sounding psychedelic guitar work.
Their first releases were not successful, but made a classic double A-side of the Beatles Yesterday coupled with their own version of handel's Largo. After several years the band split up and went their separate ways. Phil Ryan later played in Man, whilst Weathers went onto play with Pete Brown and Piblokto!
and Gentle Giant. Ritchie Francis later made a solo album in 1971. The band later recorded as Big Sleep and aided Ancient Grease on their sole album.
Albums:
The Crossroads of time (Mercury SMCL 20134) 1968 R1In Fields of Ardath (Mercury SMCL 20164) 1969 R1
These albums have now been reissued on CD.
The first album includes two Graham Bond songs (he also wrote the sleevenotes) Love Is The Law and Crossroads Of Time. Their second album is more progressive and includes Merry Go Round (from the 'Toy Grabbers' Soundtrack), which is a keyboard-dominated progressive piece with some good guitar breaks and much classical influence; Graham Bond's Spanish Blues, with some jazzy organ; Door, with its spooky vocals, which along with the dreamy title cut indicated the band's interest in the supernatural and the occult (especially reincarnation).
They also recorded an album in October 1968 as the backing band to American
singer-songwriter Buzz Linhart, Buzzy. Highlights included a very good R&B version of Tim Hardin's Yellow Cab and Linhart's Willie Jean and End Song.
