THE GOLDTONES
Live! At The Teenbeat Club In Las Vegas!
Here's a rare one for you - a LIVE record from 1965, that is the band that
Randy Seol led in the years before he joined the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
This album has the Goldtones, recorded live at the Teen Beat Club in Las
Vegas. Without the aid of the usual standard props such as long unkempt
hair, the unwashed look and high heel boots with skin tight pants, they
have managed to create a following that portends to insure the fulfillment
of their ultimate goal... stardom! The group consists of Wayne Purvis on
piano, Ken Naylor on bass, Al Doss trumpet, Mike Peters and Steve Green
on guitar, Cindy Mac vocalist, and features Randy Seol on drums. They formed
their group in 1961 at which time they won their first award; first place
in one of California's most important musical festivals, The Starcapades.
They have been in constant demand since the days they all attended Ramona
High School in Riverside, California. This is the band's only release on
album and has them singing many of the hit songs of the day with their versions
of "Gloria", the Bessie Banks / Moody Blues tune "Go Now", and some R&B
items like "Walking The Dog" and "I Just Want To Make Love To You". Who
would think that the Randy Seol of the 1965 Goldtones would emerge just
a three years later as the Nehru jacketed lead singer of the hit song "Incense
& Peppermints".
