Shining Paragons Of Uniqueness Dept. - The Third Ear Band


Whichever way you slice the Third Ear Band they look, sound, feel, and smell like nothing else. The boxes they don't tick spread across every musical genre. Wyrd Folk, you say? Didn't exist at the time. They haven't yet invented the box this band could tick with any confidence.

They're not going to play at your wedding. Unless it's at Stonehenge.

From '69, peak year for stuff like this. There wasn't any.

Putting band name on cover in shameless bid for show-biz acceptance and chart action.

They're possibly still out there, creaking and droning away, either in physical or ætheric form. Deliverable includes first three albums (xtry trx) and a massive compilation, but there's more! Shuffle on down to your nearest physical media outlet and scoop up a sack o' Thirdie goodness while you still have the strength!


Does anybody read this crap? Asking for a friend.

  1. You need these for parties and house guest clearance. To claim the deliverable, simply state one venue at which the Thirdies played! It's a tough one, by George!

  3. The Round House, which at times could be full of squares..

  4. Saw them several times in 1969, notably in Hyde Park alongside the Edgar Broughton Band...

If your comment doesn't immediately appear, it means Kreemé is checking the handwriting before passing it on to me. I'm a busy man and have no time to decipher crayoned scrawls.
