JUNIOR'S EYES - Self-Titled (a/k/a "BATTLESEA POWER STATION") - A&M SP 4189 (1969)
Junior's Eyes are one of the more well-known unknowns - if such an oxymoron can be applied - of the late-'60s British psychedelic scene. Most people who have seen any reference to them at all are apt to know them only as an act that served as David Bowie's backup group briefly in the late '60s. Mick Wayne, Junior's Eyes' lead guitarist and songwriter, played guitar on Bowie's "Space Oddity" and some of Bowie's other recordings. Prior to forming Junior's Eyes, he had briefly been in the Hullaballoos, a lightweight British Invasion band that had a bit of success in the States. He had also been in the Bunch of Fives with ex-Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince. As part of the Tickle, he wrote their sole 1967 single, "Subway (Smokey Pokey World)", one of the greatest obscure psychedelic 45s. He also played acoustic guitar on James Taylor's Apple album.
