More of a folk-rock band than a psychedelic band, Stained Glass started out in 1964 playing Beatles covers. They performed in and around their native San Jose until an A & R man from RCA signed them to the label later that year. Of the multiple singles they recorded, the first two were a mixture of folk and Merseybeat, and met with some local success. The best was "We Got A Long Way To Go", a driving rock song with immediate appeal, which was a big hit in San Jose during April of 1967. They also had moderate success with a cover of a Beatle tune, "If I Needed Someone" which justified a short tour on the east coast.
They moved to Capitol in the Spring of 1968, issuing three singles and two albums. Of the six 45 sides on Capitol only Lady In Lace, written by McPherson, is non-LP. The tune was backed by "Soap and Turkey" written by Rominger. Both albums were quite highly rated, but failed to make much impact and the band disbanded in 1970, although McPherson went on the play with Copperhead. Read more on Last.fm.
