This one's by request. The Peppermint Trolley Co. were from Redlands/California. Their album will please "Soft Sounds For Gentle People" fans. Highlights here are the outstanding "Trust", the rocking "Beautiful Sun", the lightweight "Baby You Come Rollin' Across My Mind" and the poppy opener "I've Got To Be Going". Too bad that I could make it only in 128 kBit/s available but I've got it from another source (but it's better than nothing and the sound is still okay). You can find more information about the band on Danny Faragher's site.Latest news:
Danny Farragher has posted that he recently appeared on Steve Stanley's Now Sounds Show on LuxuriaMusic Radio. The link to the podcast of the interview is here.

I Just Love This Band Thank You Steven
Beautiful music for this unknow band for me. Thanks.
cheers!
Great stuff I bought this sealed at a department store for $.26.Did you know they did the original theme from 'The Brady Bunch'? Thanks much
Thanks for this. Great record - there seems to be never ending supply of sunshine pop from the 60s, much of which is pretty anonymous and instantly forgettable. but these are all strong songs - making it all the more inexplicable why the album hasn't turned up on CD. Had been looking for more of this group since hearing a couple of tunes on the Fading Yellow comps. Wonderful!
Hi,
Great blog you have here. Could you please remove the sound files for this title as we (Now Sounds) are reissuing it with bonus tracks. We want the band to be able to make some royalties, so please understand.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
Great blog! Now Sounds is reissuing this album on CD. We'd like to see the artists make some royalties, so could you please take down this download?
Thanks,
Steve
