Yesterday's Children: (same) 1969 Map City Records (US, Italian & French Pressings exist)
Killer Heavy Rock classic from yet more super talented East Cost Axemen. Like the band Euclid, the members of Yesterday's Children originated within the fertile hotbed of the East Coast's Garage/Punk/Psych scene. There is not a bad song on their one and only album and certainly leaves one wanting MORE. It's a a true shame that we did not get to hear ongoing efforts from these great musicians as a group because their musical chemistry seems to be rare & exact. While it's a well known fact that the group were from Connecticut, unfortunately not much more is known about the musicians themselves. The music they recorded on their only album is powerful & diverse guitar oriented Heavy/Hard Rock. The label that they recorded on, Map City Records, contains some rich history to be found within it's commandeering & ownership. Peter Andreoli & Vince Poncia started the label in the late 60s. They had been a successful song writing duo for a number of years and were also members of several notable 60s groups as well. They wrote various pop song and soundtrack related material that artists as potential as Elvis would perform. Peter Andreoli, who later used the last name Anders, for the most part retired in the early 70s. Vince Poncia continued working in the recording aspect of the music business and became considerably "in demand" a as a Producer. Some credits for production appear on (of all people) Peter Criss's 2 solo record albums and two Kiss records to boot! He now does mostly movie soundtrack related composition. There are several CD/LP reissues available and I really cannot recommend this title enough.
