The Sound Barrier - (My) Baby's Gone ...1967

The Sound Barrier – (My) Baby’s Gone …1967 The Sound Barrier was a garage rock band that formed in Salem, Ohio in 1965. The group consisted of Salem, Ohio junior high school students. Guitarist Paul Hess and drummer Larry Davis were already experienced players, when the British Invasion inspired them to form a real combo they added school friends Chuck Jackson (guitar) and Kevin Rhodes (bass) and named themselves the Spectrums. The Spectrums didn't really quite get off the ground so Kevin Rhodes dropped out and Terry Davis joined in early 1965, later in ’65 they also added 13 year old Mike Riffle on Keyboards. With the personnel change came a new name, The Zounds. They recorded "Hey Hey" and another Paul Hess song named "Brain Disturbance". The group went ahead and decided to release the sides on a 45, but not before a couple changes - "Brain Disturbance" was re-named to the more commercial "(My) Baby's Gone" and the combo was renamed “The Sound Barrier”. Tribute was paid to the former band name by naming their record label as “Zounds Records”. The group ordered 1000 copies of their single. …. In '68 the band added Pat Pshishnic to sing lead part time. Pat had a great blues-belting voice in the style of Janis Joplin and Grace Slick. With her on board, the group recorded a take of the Who's "Can't Explain" and the Jefferson Airplane's "Greasy Heart" at United Audio. Band members included: Terry Davis (bass, lead vocals), Paul Hess (lead guitar, vocals), Chuck Jackson (guitar), Mike Rifle (keyboards, vocals), Larry Davis (drums).
