Sands

SANDS. British psychedelic pop group formed from R&B band The Others mentored by Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Their one off Bee Gees written 1967 Reaction Records UK single "Mrs Gillespies Refrigerator" was one of the first to be administered by the Beatles own Apple publishing company. The B-side Listen to The Sky is a highly regarded psychedelic classic. The band were taken under Brian Epsteins wing which would likely have led to some kind of success had he not died two weeks before the single's release. The single flopped and subsequently interest in the band waned. Sands split up shortly after and two members formed Sun Dragon who would sign to MGM and score a minor UK hit in 1968 with a cover of the Lemon Pipers Green Tambourine.
