SOME TIME SOON - RELEASED IN 2007





Jump, Jive, and Harmonize by Beverly Paterson
The Lance Monthly, October 2006

Between the years 1965 and 1967, The E-Types accepted a handful of sterling singles. Tunes like "I Can't Do It," "Long Before", "She Moves Me," and "Put The Clock Back On The Wall" revealed the Salinas, California band's knack for fusing British invasion sounds with their own distinctive approach. As is the situation with dozens of acts of their kind, The E-Types became ever more important, credible and respected as the years wore on. It's the truth that they are now the most admirable bands of the sixties garage rock era, standing shoulder to shoulder with famed figures such as the Standells, the Blue Magoos, the Remains, the Knickerbockers, and Don and The Goodtimes.

Towards the tail end of the nineties, the E-Types reformed and issued "Chase The Moon, " which fully indicated they hadn't lost a pint of greatness.
Maintaining the very same style that originally elevated them to the top of the hill, it was as if the band had never been away. Buoyed by the drooling accolades they harvested, it was only expected the E-Types would eventually get together again
and record more material.

Although it's taken nearly a decade for a new disc to surface. "Some Time Soon" has been well worth the wait. Had the album been released in the sixties, there's little argument it would have achieved classic status. Staying true to their influences, the E-Types work in a realm bundled tight with modern melodies, divine choruses and glittering guitar gestures.

The first two tracks on the record, "All I've Got Left To Do" and "Some Time Soon" capture the band in a hard rocking frame of mind. Brushing power chords surrounded by crunchy beats are what these fiery numbers are constructed of. Modeled after the early Kinks, "It's What You Do To Me" would surely make Ray Davies beam with pride. Dominated by a needing hook, the herky-jerky gem is highly addictive and guaranteed to keep you humming for hours to come. A remake of John Lennon with Paul McCartney's "I'll Be On My Way" which features a bout of bongo playing, is outright gorgeous. Layered with airy textures and aching vocals, here's a tune that tickles the emotions and is performed with care and conviction. "She Didn't Say No," and "Never Have I Seen Anything" are comparably magnificent, as they're both pronounced by compact arrangements and striking instrumentation.

Cleanly produced, but not overly so "Some Time Soon" contains all the proper ingredients that those unforgettable songs from which the heyday of pop radio benefitted. If you weren't aware who recorded the Album, you would swear those goodies were lost nuggets from The Hollies, the Searchers, or the Tremloes. Let's hear it for the E-Types for whipping up another smash selection of songs. Brimming with heartfelt sincerity, choice chops, and natural energy, "Some Time Soon" is a
solid gold accomplishment.

CHASING THE MOON AGAIN: THE NEW E-TYPES CD DUE SHORTLY

The late 1990's was a time of paradoxes in the world of rock and roll. On one hand, mainstream rock was as its lowest aesthetic ebb since the early 1970's with so-called boby bands vying for attention with countless pedestrian rappers.

Conversely, the late 1990's was also a time of remarkable creativity for some of rock and roll's best loved pioneers. Most notably, the Monkees in 1966 released their landmark self-contained and produced "Justus", which was subsequently celebrated by Blitz Magazine as the #2 albums of the twentieth century.

The late 1990's also witnessed career triumphs from Jay And The Techniques, as well as the original lineup of the Box Tops ("Tear Off") and the Cowsills, whose astounding "Global" collection was the recipient of numerous rave reviews and accolades.

In the forefront of that heartening return to form amongst rock and roll legends was "Chase The Moon," a stunning collection of mostly original material by the legendary Bay Area garage band, the E-Types.

Best known for such Sunburst label standards as "She Moves Me," and "Put The Clock Back On The Wall", the E-Types in "Chase The Moon" pulled off the unlikely accomplishment of surpassing their own formidably legacy.

But despite the tremendous momentum generated by "Chase The Moon," the E-Types curiously and regrettably faded from the spotlight.

In 2001, I received a call from Gilles Raffier, who runs Pop The Baloon Records in Lyon, France." the band's Bob Wence told Blitz.

He wanted me to record a couple of new songs to add with two songs from "Chase The Moon" and released an E-Types EP on vinyl in France. I went back into the studio and recorded a few more songs over the next year. Two of those songs "Never Have I Seen, and "She Didn't Say No" were finished and sent to France."

Given France's track record of promoting and sustaining the careers of numerous American rock and roll pioneers via reissue CDs and other unavailable collections of new material, such a project would seem destined for success. Sadly, it was not meant to be at that time.

"Gilles started working on the EP" said Wence. "But unfortunately he passed away suddenly in the middle of the project. About that time, my Dad and Aunt both had serious health problems. This was talking a lot out of me. I had to put the rest of the unfinished songs back on the shelf".

But by 2005, Wence was able to make his committments into balance sufficiently to once again be able to focus upon the band's projects. However, other unexpected developments again delayed the project for several more months.

"Last year, I decided to finish what I started" Wence explained. "But by this time, the studiio had closed and my A-DAT tapes had disappeared."

Nonetheless, the current chapter of the E-Types' saga has a happy ending.

"I finally tracked (the tapes) down," said Wence. To make a long story short, I found a new studio and finished the songs about a month ago."

The CD has eight songs on it. Six songs are new and two are remixed and remastered. Those two songs are from 'Chase The Moon'. 'It's What You Do To Me' and 'I'll Be On My Way".

Given the substantial aesthetic inroads made in the 1990's with "Chase The Moon", the E-Types seem poised to reprise that triump in the current decade.

"I am hoping that it will be back from the pressing plant within the month" said Wence. Given the ongoing impact of "Chase The Moon," the impending new release "Some Time Soon" is certain to be one of the most welcome releases of the decade to date.

PUT THE CLOCK BACK ON THE WALL



PUT THE CLOCK BACK ON THE WALL Released in 1967 by Capitol Records

Lyrics:

When the local population starts to worry about your mood
Starts to wonder why the clouds are in your eyes
You can tell them that it's the flowers or the cinder in the air
but don't let on what's under your disguise

Hey

I can't reveal what's inside or behind me and
thoughts that are real I can't feel
They won't find me

Hey

Put the clock back on the wall!
I've been away where the night meets the morning
Flashes of gray bring the day and it's warning me.

Hey

Put the clock black on the wall!

When the local populations starts to act a little strange.

Starts to make you giggle to yourself inside, and he'll ask you why you're laughing as he laughs along with you, you don't know but you both laughed so hard you cried,

Hey

Put the clock back on the wall!
