A quick one today, as I've got a routine ophthalmologist appointment this morning.
William Truckaway sang lead in the Sopwith Camel. They lasted about a year. Reformed in 1971, but without William, who made a solo album instead.
I knew this song from the Warners Loss Leader, "The Whole Burbank Catalog" from 1972. The fact that it was once licensed by Taco Bell didn't put me off.
On a whim I picked up a near mint copy of his album "Breakaway" on discogs recently. It's really good and sits very nicely next to The Beach Boys "Surf's Up".
Enjoy!

Huge fan of the Camel. Without question, the most underrated of the San Francisco bands.
Did I say underrated? https://powerpop.blogspot.com/2022/06/records-id-forgotten-existed-let-alone_20.html
Should’ve been a sunshine pop classic. Perhaps a better stage name would have helped.
