Excellent album😊😊😊😊😊

Came across these guys a few years ago and now they are one of my all time favorites!

Among a number of really under-rated groups. I remember John Peel playing their songs on (I think) on his (amazing) "Perfumed Garden" radio show on radio London (those really WERE the days).

This Song- This Band! Awesome!!!!!

wow only just discovered this band a week ago:)

Back in the London of 1967 and 1968, there was so much great music. A lot of it was ignored at the time at least. This band are now getting some of the recognition they deserved. Even in such a fertile climate, this band were outstanding. Only Tony Hill was British, I believe. The rest of the band were American Including Glenn Ross Campbell on slide guitar (check out "Who Do You Love?" by Juicy Lucy !!).

The lead singer, Rick Brown, is my big brother.

awesome

Heavy Duty for 1966!

beautiful psichedelic blues album ,great stuff

bloody awesome

In your write up, I think you mean John Peel, the late great English DJ. rather than David Peel. John Peel championed the band from the start, brought them to London and recorded all their early material, they even stayed at his mother's house. David Peel was and still is a street musician and social activist who hung out with John Lennon, played with The Lower East Side and released the album "Have a Marijuana" among others. I think he also proposed Lennon for U.S. president. Cheers, A.

I heard about The Misunderstood for the first time during an interview conducted on the Astral Glamour radio show on 3RRR here in Melbourne. I freakin' flipped when Joe played their tracks. Bloody awesome. The interview from Monday 8 Sep is available here: ondemand.rrr.org.au/

Grant Delaney Thanks mate!!!

Interesting to compare and contrast "I Unseen" with the Byrds' "I Come and Stand at Every Door", both based on the poem by Nâzım Hikmet Ran. Both were recorded in the same great year for music.

I Unseen is a cover of "I come and stand at every door" by the Byrds on the LP Fifth dimension. Great music. thank you. John Peel.

Sorry, but absolutely NOT a cover! This is Stephen Whiting, original/only bassist of The Misunderstood. This is what actually happened... Rick Brown, our singer, found the poem in an obscure book of poetry and brought it over to my house (actually, my parents' house, as I still lived 'at home' at the time) and wanted to write some music to it. Not to puff myself up, but I came up with the original guitar lick that afternoon, and we wrote most of the rest of the song then and there. When we presented it the rest of the band, we all wrote/completed it together (the 'writing/completing it together' thing is how we did most of our music, in spite of individuals later being given total credit unwarranted.). Later, in England, Tony Hill, our new English guitarist after Greg T. returned to the States, came up with a musically better chorus, which is what is heard on our London recording. I would swear before the Lord Himself that we had NEVER EVEN HEARD the Byrds' version, didn't even know it existed, and thus, this is emphatically NOT a cover. Case closed (LOL)!!!

@@stephenwhiting8918 Sorry, the songs sound so similar, so assumed it was. No offense meant. I was singer in some bands ( that never went beyond the rehearsal room or small perfomances) and I know how easy it is to come up with the same or similar melodies and tunes. But your answer reminds me that I have to find a copy of your records. www.discogs.com/artist/130832-The-Misunderstood

@@cyrielwollring4622 So touching to read your words. Stephen Whiting would never utter anything less than the truth. The new 2 CD 'Children Of The Sun' compilation has everything The Misunderstood recorded in their original lifespan 1965-1966, remastered by Alec Palao and with liner notes by Mike Stax, all 33 tracks presented in mono as recorded.
