from the liner notes to the reissue:
"Though The Collectors, as Henderson acknowledges, "was not a hit record, it was quite strong in a regional kind of way. When KSAN [one of the first underground rock-oriented FM radio stations] started in San Francisco, they played it like a single; they played it every day." Yet "What Love (Suite)," "which would bring the house down [at the] Fillmore West, was despised at [New York's] Fillmore East by some...by enough. By the Village Voice, for one, who said the best thing we could do for rock was disband. It was nice reading that review the next day," Bill laughs. But, he adds, "It was quite influential in Europe," where it got a strong reaction in England, Germany, and Holland in particular. "

Lyle:

Amused by this Tomita resurgence I'm sensing at WFMU. I happened to have met the man circa '71 when I was touring with Vicki Carr as a supplemental soprano trombonist. In the event that their full-time soprano trombonist was incapacitated or otherwise unable to fulfill his duties, I would be called upon to fill-in. Otherwise, I would hang out by the sno-cone machine handing out 5x7's of Vicki and generally being a goodwill ambassador for her. I met Isao Tomita this way. He was a HUGE Vicki Carr fan and also he had a penchant for blueberry sno-cones. As we spoke (through his interpreter) I learned that he had just purchased a Baldwin Acro-Sonic organ with Color-Glo keys which he was modifying with a Heathkit package into a workable synthesizer. He told me that he was trying to decide whether to interpret Holtz's, The Planets, or Olivia Newton-John's "Sam." We all know what decision he ultimately made! He was much smaller in real life than one might imagine. 4' 10", tops. Very cordial, though.

You got that right Coel-o! Ha! Actually, I am a member of Holst's fan club - The Holsters, named in honor of his penchant for full-bore, aluminum Luger pistols which he loved to shoot during performances, at large, blown-up Man Ray photographs. Those two had a real beef, evidently. I've been told that David Hasselhoff is actually the son of Holst, and that Hasselhoof is presently scoring "The Janets," a three-movement symphony based on the lives of Janet Jackson - Janet Funicello (Annette's sister) and Janet Reno. We'll see how THAT turns out! L

fascinating pre-Chilliwack history!
i recall seeing their first LP when i was a kid in the early 1970s & being intrigued by the cover art! but really knew nothing of their music
i was not even aware that "My Girl" as *interpreted* on SCTV by The Recess Monkeys for The Pre-Teen World marathon was a Chilliwack song until years later!

Glen Campbell? I remember him as a young tow-headed boy we called "Soupy." This was back circa 1957 when I was on the road with Esquivel in my only gig as a bass trianglist. Soupy was a strong boy - a hay-baler, I was told, and it was he who helped me bring the triangle in from the bus. A bass triangle, in case you didn't know, can weigh upwards to 75-80lbs. Esquivel thought it added additional exotica "zing" to his shows, but the logistical nightmare of dragging it (and me!) from gig to gig had Esky kicking me to the curb by early '59. His career was in the tank by then anyway. I gace Soupy 35-cents for helping me, which was a fortune back then. I think he bought a comb with it.
