The Shades
Also known as: Shades, The
Origin: Webster City, IA, USA
Very little is known about this obscure garage band from central Iowa that issued one 45 ('When You Said Goodbye' b/w the outstanding instrumental 'Ballot Bachs') initially on the Princeton label sometime in the first half of 1968. The B-side is a fast-paced, fuzzed up monster written by D. Meyer and T. Whiting, presumably members of the group. In June of that year, the Chicago based Cadet label (a subsidiary of Chess Records) picked up the single for wider distribution, smartly swapping the A and B sides.
