I played for a band called The Sound and we were always interested in Their lineup of Sound Amps. Did they have some type of endorsement deal at that time with Sound Electronics. I currently own a Sound X305. Great amp by the way. Not much info for on the internet , both JPR and Sound amps . Was glad to find this posting.

Exit at the Tiajuana Lounge and another club whose name I don't recall. I, too, was looking for Bill A. and searching for him led me to this information. I have a pair of speakers I bought from Bill who gotten them from a studio in Nashville.

I co-owned the studio which was located in a music store that I owned called the The Sound Shop, located in the Plaza Center in Miamisburg. I also played with Harry and Trudi in the original Trudi group called the Tad Spencer Group. We played to standing room only crowds at the Tijuana Lounge in the Salem Mall in Dayton for several years. I closed the music store and studio in 1969 and left UMAC just before Gingerbread Man. There was a lot of talent in that group of people and it is disappointing that they never got the big break.dmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830799725963254899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721642.post-47547475245356360042009-05-05T14:12:00.000+01:002009-05-05T14:12:00.000+01:00This is years before the Edison Lighthouse hit.

Their first single was a UMAC production on Night Owl Records: “Man of the Hour/Mardi Ellen” writers H. Urschel (aka Jordan Parker) & Eric Smith, respectively. The band tracks for this single were recorded in 1967 at UMAC Studio, Miamisburg, OH; vocals re-done, as I recall, at Chess Studios, Chicago, but this my not be correct. Sometime in 1968 one of the brothers decided to leave the group and was replaced on drums by one of the band’s producers. There was a brief association with Calvert/Marzano, who recorded JPR at ODO Recording, NYC, but no record deal resulted. “Ginger Bread Man” (writers Urschel/Albert) on Sire Records was the groups’ second single, released in Oct. 1969, produced by Opus 65. All tracks for this record were done at Jewel Recording, Mt. Healthy, OH (there was also a mix done w/Richard Gottehrer at Bell Sound, NYC , but it is unknown if this or the Mt. Healthy mix made it on to the record). JPRs’ “third” single, if you will, was an unaccredited performance on “Monday Morning Man” (Urschel/Albert) by Trudi on 20th Century Fox Records, released in 1970; this was also recorded entirely at Jewel Recording & produced by Opus 65. Actually, by this time Jordan Parker Revue had ceased to exist under that name but had been wholly absorbed into Trudi & Hopple Street Exit, a band that was formed when JPR merged with a group featuring Trudi & her husband (also one of JPR’s producers). Hopple Street became a popular local act in Dayton, OH, & there was another Trudi & Hopple Street single (“Together/Hang on to Your Heart”) released on Counterpart Records, but by then there was only one original JPR member still in the band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
