April 1962
Undoubtedly one of Michigan's greatest rock 'n' roll bands of the '60s, SRC emerged from a very influental Birmingham-based garage band called The Fugitives. The band started out as a three-piece instrumental combo under the name The Tremolos, formed by Patrick Joseph 'Pat' Kaufmann (b. Tuesday, October 29, 1946, Flint, Michigan) on lead guitar, Bill Main on rhythm guitar, and Elmer 'Cox' Clawson (b. Elmer George Clawson, Wednesday, July 23, 1947 - d. Wednesday, July 23, 2003, for cancer) on drums. The band, who took their name off Pat Kaufmann's '61-'62 Gibson Discoverer Tremolo amplifier, rehearsed sometimes in Kaufmann's basement and sometimes in Clawson's basement, and doing things like 'Walk Don't Run' by The Ventures.  

THE TREMOLOS #1 (APRIL 1962 - 1962)
1) Pat Kaufmann lead guitar (but sometimes switched to rhythm guitar)
2) Bill Main rhythm guitar (but sometimes switched to lead guitar)
3) Elmer Clawson drums

May 1962 (?): 'Sock Hop', Brother Rice High School, 7101 Lahser Road, Bloomfield Township, Oakland County, Michigan
The Tremolos played their debut gig at Elmer Clawson's high school. The band later played at a number of local parties around Birmingham, and at some strange gigs including the break at a square dance in Imlay City. 

1962: Falcon Records' Studio, 2616 Crooks Road, Royal Oak, Oakland County, Michigan
The Tremolos recorded a demo of two instrumental numbers titled 'Turbulence' and 'Shake Down'. The songs were pressed on a 45rpm acetate in three copies (one for each members of the band). 

1962
The Tremolos added Elmer Clawson's friend Glenn Quackenbush (b. Glenn Newell Quackenbush, Saturday, September 28, 1946, Englewood, New Jersey) on Wurlitzer electric piano. Glenn's first pratice with the band was at Pat Kaufmann's basement. By the way, Glenn eventually bought a Ford Econoline van, in which they could haul their equipment.

THE TREMOLOS #2 (1962 - MARCH 1963 (?))
1) Pat Kaufmann
2) Bill Main
3) Elmer Clawson
4) Glenn Quackenbush Wurlitzer electric piano
​

​March 1963 (?)
After Glenn Quackenbush joined The Tremolos and the new four-piece lineup played some parties, things got very confusing since Bill Main started missing practice and Elmer and Glenn wanted him out and there was also some desire to put past behind and move in different direction. Pat was kind of in the middle of all that. However, finally Bill was fired and the band replaced him with Glenn's younger brother Gary Quackenbush (b. Gary Jessup Quackenbush, Sunday, April 25, 1948, Englewood, New Jersey - d. Saturday, June 20, 2015, in a hospice care in Tecumseh, Michigan, after a yearlong bout with pulmonary fibrosis) on rhythm guitar (he took formal guitar lessons since 1960).

THE TREMOLOS #3 (MARCH 1963 (?) - APRIL 1963)
1) Pat Kaufmann
2) Elmer Clawson
3) Glenn Quackenbush
4) Gary Quackenbush rhythm guitar

April 1963
After just some rehearsals and without playing any gigs with the new lineup, The Tremolos' leader Pat Kaufmann was forced to quit his own band after his father said that he couldn't play music anymore because he needed to concentrate to his studies (Pat will began his senior year at high school the next fall, and he was also intent on going to college after that so... and honestly he also thinks that Elmer, Glenn and Gary were relieved since he think they wanted him out of the band anyway). After leaving The Tremolos, Pat started doing folk stuff and formed a new band called The Briars for a while and then he got back into rock in the summer of '64 playing bass with DC and The Coachmen. In the meantime, The Tremolos replaced him with a new lead guitar player named Rett Nichols (b. Clarence Everett Nichols, 1946), and also they recruited a bass player named John M. Boyles (b. 1947). Glenn Quackenbush's Seaholm High School's classmate Steve Lyman (they met in Cub Scouts when they were about ten) was also "recruited" by the band to teach lead guitar parts to Rett, and basic guitar instruction to Gary, in some specific songs of artists such as The Ventures, Freddie King, and Lonnie Mack. Soon after, The Tremolos, who as above mentioned started as an instrumental band, began doing vocals songs and at that point their bassist John Boyles became their singer too, just because he was the best one in the band to handle the singing.

THE TREMOLOS #4 (APRIL 1963 - JANUARY 1964) / THE FUGITIVES #1 (JANUARY 1964 - SEPTEMBER 1964)
1) Elmer Clawson
2) Glenn Quackenbush
3) Gary Quackenbush
4) Rett Nichols lead guitar
5) John Boyles lead vocals, bass

Summer 1963: 'Birmingham Music Festival - Battle of the Bands', outdoor under a big tent, Shain Park, 270 West Merrill Street, Birmingham, Oakland County, Michigan
The Tremolos competing in a local contest but the first prize was won by a "rival" teenage band called The Downbeats (which included future Fugitives/SRC member Steve Lyman on lead guitar). 
​
October 1963: 'Assembly Party', The Community House, 380 South Bates Street, Birmingham, Oakland County, Michigan

Friday, November 15, 1963: 'Combo Clash Dance', Seaholm High School, 2436 West Lincoln Street, Birmingham, Oakland County, Michigan
From 8:30pm to 12 midnight, The Tremolos, The Jaguars, The Downbeats (cancelled?), The Del Rays, The Overtones, The Pharoahs, and The Roadrunners, compete in a combo clash dance sponsored by the Birmingham Exchange Club. The Tremolos won the battle, and the Overtones took the second place. 

The Birmingham Eccentric (November 14, 1963)

November/December 1963: 'Fraternity Party', University of Michigan campus, 503 Thompson Street, Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan
The Tremolos met college student Edward Andrews, aka 'Punch', who liked them and hired them to play in a month or so, at a private New Year's Eve's home party in Grosse Pointe. 

Tuesday, December 31, 1963: 'New Year's Eve Party', unknown private home, Grosse Pointe, Wayne County, Michigan
Edward 'Punch' Andrews invited his friend David A. 'Dave' Leone that night to see The Tremolos. Already dreaming of being big-time record moguls, the two convinced the band that they should be recording.

January 1964
A fan of the TV show The Fugitive, Dave Leone wrote a song with the same title, and then convinced The Tremolos to record it and change their name to The Fugitives (also because apparently out there was another and more famous band called Tremolos). Dave Leone then contacted Quinn Martin, the producer of the TV show, to get his permission, but Martin shut him down as far as rights and usage of the show's name, so Dave decided to put the record out as 'A Fugitive'.   

February 1964 (?): United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
The Fugitives recorded their debut single, 'A Fugitive / A Fugitive (instrumental)', with Dave Leone as producer and arranger. Leone also managed to get it released on D-Town Records, a local small rhythm 'n' blues label. 'A Fugitive' was sung by an unknown singer called Dick Cruz (??).  

April 1964 (?): United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
The Fugitives recorded their second single, 'On Trial / Let's Get On With It', for D-Town Records. 'On Trial' was written by Dave Leone, while 'Let's Get On With It' was co-written by Leone and Gary (or Glenn) Quackenbush. 

Friday, May 8, 1964: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue at Beaufait Street, Harper Woods, Wayne County, Michigan
Dave Leone and Edward 'Punch' Andrews opened a teen club in a VFW hall, and The Fugitives became the (discontinuous) house band there for the next year and a half. The Hideout was the first teen club in the state of Michigan that featured live music from eight to midnight each Friday night. Up until that time there had been teen dances with recording artists, mainly black, lip-syncing to records. The first night, eighty people showed up and heard The Fugitves do an ultradirty version of 'Louie Louie', a recent smash hit by The Kingsmen. As word of their performance spread and kids realized there were no chaperones, the building filled to its capacity, 550 persons. 

Wednesday, June 10, 1964: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue at Beaufait Street, Harper Woods, Wayne County, Michigan
'The Fantastic Fugitives', as they were billed, headlined a "battle of the bands" between Del-Rays, Blazers, Royal Chessmen, and Ram-Rods. 

July 1964 (?): Glenn and Gary Quackenbush's home, Birmingham, Oakland County, Michigan 
Dave Leone added a local record label called 'Hideout Records' to his club enterprise and the first release was The Fugitives' debut and only album, 'The Fugitives at Dave's Hideout'. The album was recorded on two tracks into a portable tape machine at at the home of the Quackenbush brothers. On one track they had already recorded the songs, and then on the second track they put a crowd of kids together and recorded them making the live sounds. 

Friday, July 24, 1964: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue at Beaufait Street, Harper Woods, Wayne County, Michigan

August 1964 (?)
The Fugitives' debut single, 'A Fugitive / A Fugitive (instrumental)' (D-Town D-1034), was released only in the US. The record had no distribution and the few copies pressed were passed around town to promote the band and are virtually impossible to find today. Although 'A Fugitive' faded fast, the record did provide some publicity and disc jockey Don Zee play the record on WXYZ-AM radio.
​

September 1964 
Glenn Quackenbush and Rett Nichols leave The Fugitives because both had graduated from high school and gone off to college (Rett goes to Michigan State University in East Lansing, while Glenn goes to Middlebury College in Vermont and there he played with a local rock band called The Norsemen). Anyway, The Fugitives replaced them with Butch Hamilton (b. Lawrence Joseph Hamilton, Thursday, April 1, 1948, Detroit, Michigan) on Wurlitzer electric piano and Paul A. Kelcourse (b. Sunday, August 24, 1947) on lead guitar, both formerly The Overtones (Butch was previously with The Imperials). The new lineup started rehearsing together in Gary Quackenbush's house basement. 

THE FUGITIVES #2 (SEPTEMBER 1964 - SEPTEMBER 1965)
1) Gary Quackenbush
2) Elmer Clawson
3) John Boyles
4) Butch Hamilton Wurlitzer electric piano
5) Paul Kelcourse lead guitar

March 1965
The Fugitives' second single, 'On Trial / Lets Go On With It' (D-Town DT 1044), was released only in the US. Again the record had no distribution and the few copies pressed were passed around town to promote the band and are virtually impossible to find today. 

1965
The Fugitives' debut and only album, 'The Fugitives at Dave's Hideout' (Hideout HLP 1001; tracklist: 'Friday At The Hideout (Dave Leone) / Money (Berry Gordy, Janie Bradford) / House Of The Rising Sun (Trad.) / L.X.I.X. (Gary Quackenbush, John Boyles, Rett Nichols) / Louie Louie (Richard Berry) / A Hard Day's Night (Lennon-McCartney) / Wine And Dine (Elmer Clawson, Glenn Quackenbush) / Let's Get On With It (Dave Leone, Quackenbush) / Latin Lupe De Lupe (Bill Medley) / Long Tall Texan (H. Strezlechie) / Love Potion No.9 (Leiber & Stoller) / Daves Theme (The Fugitives) / You're Gonna Be Mine (Dave Leone)'), was released only in the US. The night before the album went on sale, Dave Leone gathered a bunch of the regulars and had a party, with everyone helping to put the covers together with mask tape. Dave Leone pressed five hundred copies of the album and sold out the record for three dollars each in one night only at The Hideout. By the way, the album wrongly credits Ben E. King as writer of 'Love Potion No. 9', Paul McCartney as sole writer of 'A Hard Day's Night', The Animals as writing 'House Of The Rising Sun,' and a 'Phill Medeley' [sic] with composing 'Little Latin Lupe Lu'. 

Friday, June 4, 1965: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue at Beaufait Street, Harper Woods, Wayne County, Michigan
The 'Fantastic Fugitives' (as they were billed on the poster) were on the bill along with The Pleasure Seekers.  

Saturday, August 21, 1965: ​Howard C. Baldwin Memorial Pavilion (outdoor amphitheater), Oakland University campus, 3554 East Walton Boulevard, Rochester Hills, Oakland County, Michigan
The Fugitives appeared on a benefit for the scholarship fund together with The Supremes, New Gibson and Martin Trio. One show, started art 8:30pm.

The Fugitives parted ways after John Boyles and Paul Kelcourse both had graduated from high school (Seaholm High School in Birmingham and Andover High School in Bloomfield Township respectively) and gone off to college at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, while Butch Hamilton (who was now in his senior year at the Seaholm High School) went to play with T.R & The Yardsman, Elmer Clawson had also graduated from Brother Rice High School and went to work for a big construction company owned by the father of one of his friends (he also goes to Cleary Business College in Ypsilanti), and Gary Quackenbush (who was now in his senior year) went to play rhythm guitar with a local garage band called The Yorkshires (he played with them through the summer of '66 and at some point his brother Glenn also played with him in that band although only as "guest" for a couple of gigs). Also around that time Gary teaching future The Stooges' lead guitarist James Williamson to play some songs on guitar, such as The Beatles' 'Ticket To Ride'. In the meantime, at the University of Michigan, Boyles and Kelcourse teamed up again with Glenn Quackenbush because the latter had now moved there from Middlebury College. They all pledged Chi Phi fraternity (Paul didn't go through to initiation, but he was in the pledge class photo) and subsequently also reformed The Fugitves with Elmer Clawson.  

THE FUGITIVES #3 (SEPTEMBER 1965 - MAY 1966) 
1) Glenn Quackenbush
2) Elmer Clawson
3) John Boyles
4) Paul Kelcourse

​Fall 1965
The Fugitives' third and last single, 'I Don't Wanna Talk / You Can't Make Me Lonely' (Westchester W-1002), was released only in the US. Both songs, which were written by John Boyles, plus another previously unreleased song possibly recorded at the same session, 'Said Goodbye', were all included that same year on a US-only compilation titled 'Friday At The Cage A-Go-Go (aka Long Hot Summer)' (Westchester W-1005; re-issued as bootleg in 1989). "When John wrote 'I Don't Wanna Talk' we started a rumor that The Beatles had written it for us," Paul Kelcourse recalls. "Nobody seemed to question it. Glenn and I sang harmony behind John. The twelve string guitar at the beginning was me."

1965 or 1966: Robin Seymour's 'Swingin' Time', Channel 9, CKLW-TV, Riverside Drive Studios, Windsor, Ontario, Canada 
"We watched our appearance on Robin Seymour's TV show in the fraternity TV room", Paul Kelcourse recalls, "We didn't think our instruments would go through customs, so we showed up without. Seymout was a bit peeved, but gave us props that got us through the appearance". 

Friday, March 4, 1966: Masonic Auditorium, Detroit Masonic Temple, 500 Temple Street, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan 
Also on the bill: Sonny & Cher, The Rationals, Tim, Tam and the Turn Ons, J. J. Barnes. The show, which was promoted by Swingin' Time presents and started at 8:00pm, was originally scheduled for Sunday, February 20, but due to headliner Cher's illness, it was postponed until March 4 exactly. 

May 1966
Paul Kelcourse was fired from The Fugitives. "As my first semester drew to close, I had the choice of taking my chemistry final or playing a job in Detroit. Chemistry won. Shortly after that Glenn (engineering student) called me on the phone 'you're out of the band'," Paul Kelcourse recalls, "His anger might have been related to my asking out a girl he liked, but he hadn't yet dated - Sean Larson. She accepted, but Glenn was so furious I broke it off." After The Fugitives Paul went to play with The Four Of Us, The Lourds, and The Heavy Metal Kids. In the meantime, Glenn Quackenbush found out that his old friend Steve Lyman (b. Steven Case Lyman, Saturday, March 30, 1946, Marine Hospital, Staten Island, New York City, NY) was then going to college at Eastern Michigan University in Ypisilanti, slightly east of Ann Arbor, so he called Steve on the phone at his college dormitory and asked him if he was interested in joining The Fugitives as their new lead guitarist.

December 1966
The Fugitives’ manager Hugh ‘Jeep’ Holland proposed to Gary and Glenn Quackenbush to form a sort of “supergroup” with Scott Richardson, the frontman of the Chosen Few, another local band that Jeep managed for awhile and that had recently disbanded. He also proposed as bass player a close friend named Robin Dale, a British kid who had arrived in Ann Arbor the last summer from Taiwan, China (where he grew up), and that since then had worked as roadie for the Rationals, another band, needless to say, managed and produced by Jeep under his A2 Productions and A2 Records. Last but not least, Jeep’s plan was also to keep Steve Lyman and Elmer Clawson for the new band, so the only Fugitive left out of the picture was John Boyles. “In early December, back in Ann Arbor from Chicago where I visited my friend Iggy Pop, I met and moved into a flat across from Jeep’s apartment with Robin Dale,” recalls Scott Richardson. “It was vacant but we weren’t paying the rent. We were squatting and had to hide in the basement. That was where we had Xmas, a cold and starving one.” “Then,” he continues, “me and Robin started meeting with Gary, Glenn, Steve and Elmer at Jeep’s, or at our flat next door, or even at Gary’s dorm at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti.”  
 
Saturday, December 24 - Saturday, December 31, 1966
After several informal meeting to discuss their future together, it was finally during the Christmas holidays that Gary and Glenn Quackenbush, Steve Lyman, Elmer Clawson, or ‘E.G.’ as he preferred to be called from then on, plus Scott Richardson (b. John Scott Richardson, Monday, November 15, 1948, Detroit, Michigan) and Robin Dale (b. Peter Robin Dale, Monday, July 5, 1948, London, UK), finally started rehearsing together as a band at a fraternity house at the University of Michigan campus (probably the Chi Phi where Glenn was a member).

The Fugitives played at a private party. 

Saturday, January 7, 1967: Saint Paul Catholic Church Complex, 157 Lake Shore Drive, Grosse Pointe Farms, Wayne County, Michigan
The Fugitives' last gig.

Monday, January 9, 1967 (?)
It was right after the Christmas holidays that the as-yet unnamed band went to live together in a dilapidated rental house at 1127 Broadway Street, approximately one mile northeast of downtown Ann Arbor, and several blocks east of the train station. The first thing they did there was to put egg cartons on the walls to keep the sound of their rehearsals inside out of range of neighbor’s ears. 

Tuesday, January 10, 1967 (?): United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
Right after they went to live together and even before performing live, the as-yet unnamed band headed into the studio to lay down a couple of tracks with Jeep Holland as producer and arranger of the session. The first song recorded was a cover of the Pretty Things’ ‘Get A Picture,’ while the second one was an original co-written by Steve Lyman and Scott Richardson titled ‘Who Is That Girl?’ Jeep’s plan was to release those songs as the band debut single for his A2 (A-Square) Records.

Friday, January 13, 1967: 'TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) Party at SAE (Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house)', University of Michigan campus, 1408 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan
The unnamed band's debut gig. 

Saturday, January 14, 1967: 'Record Hop', Fenton Community Center, 150 South Leroy Street, Fenton, Genesee County, Michigan
The unnamed band played their second gig at a 'Record Hop' for deejay Bob Dell of WTAC-AM radio in Flint, Michigan, with also on the bill Thyme, and The Rationals. Bob Seger, Mike Morgan from The Underdogs, and (possibly) Mark Farner from Terry Knight and The Pack, were there in attendance just to check them out. That night their manager Jeep Holland immediately insisted that they return as soon as possible in the studio to record a Skip James cover of 'I'm So Glad' to be the A-side of their soon-to-be released debut single, instead of their above mentioned planned cover of The Pretty Things' 'Get The Picture' (that was released some time later as their second single). 

Sunday, January 15 or Monday, January 16, 1967
The unnamed band officialy became The Scot Richard Case. "My own guess is that we had settled upon The Scot Richard Case as our band's name the next day or two after playing in Fenton," Steve Lyman recalls. "Suddenly faced with 'we are not really The Fugitives anymore,' and we aren't just going to be known as Scotty's group because we are backing him as a singer, we had to decide on something quickly. Somebody in the band stumbled upon my middle name (Case) as a word (not necessarily about me), and we decided that 'The Case (or situation) about Scott Richardson' had an interesting ring to it, plus Scott then wanted to shorten his stage name to Scot Richard. In retrospect, it was so poorly executed, especially when looking at how often the name was written incorrectly during the next year or more." Anyway, it was their manager Jeep Holland who suggested that they come up with a new band-name centered around their lead singer's nom de plume, telling them that in doing so, it would likely create more attention to the group, such as getting their locally-released record played on the Detroit-area radio stations.  

January ??, 1967: United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, Washtenaw County, Michigan
After within a week or two, the newly christened The Scot Richard Case was back in the studio to record the above mentioned Skip James' 'I'm So Glad', with Jeep Holland as producer and arranger.  

Friday, January 20, 1967: The Hideout #3, 870 North Main Street, Clawson, Oakland County, Michigan 
The band was misspelled as 'The Scot Richardson Case 8from The Chosen Few).' Also on the bill: The Mushrooms. 

Saturday, January 21, 1967: Grande Ballroom, 8952 Grand River At Beverly, 1 Block South Of Joy Road, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
The Scot Richard Case played for the first time at the legendary Grande Ballroom, Detroit’s palace of rock ‘n’ roll and counterculture, which was opened last October by a local disc jockey named Russ Gibb under his Uncle Russ Travel Agency. They played from 8:30pm to 1:00am supported by another local band called the House of Lords (which replaced the Passing Clouds at last minute). Curiously, when the poster for that weekend gig was printed two or three weeks earlier, the band did not had a name yet, so Russ Gibb provisionally billed them as ‘Scotty’s Group’ maybe because he already knew Scott Richardson since the latter had played there a couple of times before with his former band the Chosen Few. In the meantime, few days later, the band was officially christened Scot Richard Case, so when that weekend gig was later advertised in a couple of local newspapers, Gibb printed out the correct name, or more or less, because they were actually misspelled as ‘Scott [sic] Richard Case.’ “All variations on the name, after that time, were due to people misunderstanding what the correct name was, how it was to be spelled, or whether there should be periods following the abbreviated SRC letters,” points out Steve Lyman. “It was our mistake for not insisting that venues got the information correctly.”

"My best guess," Steve Lyman recalls, "is that maybe the Crazy Horse gig was delayed until the next week, due to severe winter weather or some other reason."

The show was sponsored by WOWO, a commercial AM radio station in Fort Wayne, Indiana. "When we played in Sturgis the person in charge of their sound system was [the late] Stanley Andrews (no relation to Pete Andrews, or even Punch Andrews)," Steve Lyman recalls. "Stanley and his wife lived there in Sturgis, and he thereafter became our band's helper, in the development of our sound system. His [audio] assistance went on for over a year, perhaps until the time that SRC's first album was released at the end of the summer of 1968. It was by way of Stanley that we were initially connected to the Electro-Voice headquarters in Buchanan, Michigan, to have access to their microphones and speakers. He also connected us to the Crown electronics company headquarters in northwest Indiana (I forgot which town), and the powerful Crown amplifiers are what drove the sound of SRC's PA system, as well as Glenn's Hammond B3 organ."

​September 1967
The Scot Richard Case had complained that their mananger Jeep Holland had wanted to exercise artistic control more and more strongly at a time when they were becoming more serious about their music, so they fired him (he was not happy with ther decision obviously!) and replaced him with Jeep's former partner Pete Andrews, who owned a paint company in Ann Arbor and a rock club in Tawas. They chose him although he had no real experience being a band manager so he really kind of left them alone in some regards, which was good because they were pretty headstrong; but he could book a show and that's really what he did.

November 1967
The 'Old Exciting' Scot Richard Case's second and last single, 'Get The Picture / I Need You' (A-Square 402), was released only in the US. It was their former manager Jeep Holland who orchestrated this A-Square release (the band did not know about the release at all, until after it came out) and labeling the band as 'The Old Exciting Scot Richard Case' on the disc (it was not something the band wanted to have done). The band played only on the A-side because 'Get The Picture' was the only unreleased recording by the band that Jeep had in his possession (being the first song that they had recorded early that year), and that's why he backed it with a song by The Rationals (credited as 'The Early Rationals' on the disc) titled, 'I Need You'. By the way, The Scot Richard Case and The Rationals were "rival" bands but their members were friends, and Glenn Quackenbush around that time played as sessionman on The Rationals' latest single, 'Leavin' Here / Not Like It Is'.

"It was likely just a televised special mostly (or even completely) showing recorded clips of all those performers," Steve Lyman recalls about this show. "I have absolutely no recollection of us ever doing a live show on New Years Eve with Robin Seymour, especially with all those well-known Motown artists. I think that was something he merely put together to be seen on television by all the people who celebrate the New Year at home watching events like the ball dropping at 12 midnight in Times Square."

The Michigan Daily (February 23, 1968)

February 1968
John Rhys introduced the band to his friend Herb Hendler, vice-president of Capitol Records and general manager of Beechwood Music (Capitol's publishing company), who flew in from Los Angeles. Herb liked the band and then returned to L.A. to convince executives (or whomever) at Capitol that they should sign them. 

February 1968: Artie Fields Productions, Alhambra Theater, 9428 Woodward Avenue, just north of downtown Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan  
The band settled on Artie Fields Productions, a recording studio located in the old Alhambra Theater, and mainly used as in-house studio for Artie's commercial production music. The Scot Richard Case did a sort of a "test" recording session with producer John Rhys. The two tracks recorded that day, The Pretty Things' cover of 'Midnight To Six Man', and The Who's cover of 'Cobwebs And Strange', remained unissued until 2008 when they were released (together with their old 1967's songs 'I'm So Glad', 'Get The Picture', and 'Who Is That Girl?') only in the UK on the Various Artists CD compilation: 'A-Square (Of Course): The Story of Michigan's Legendary A-Square Records' (Big Beat Records CDWIKD 274). "We did a bit of test recording at the Artie Fields studio," Steve Lyman confirms. "I do not recall the date, but it was shortly after we first got introduced to John Rhys [in January]. The recordings done at Artie Fields are the extra tracks on Alec Palao's release of 'A-Square (Of Course),' which John Rhys kept in his possession all these years. They were not polished recordings, but merely test tracks to see if Artie Fields would be a satisfactory place to record our [future Capitol debut] album." "This CD compilation was an attempt to showcase recordings of various groups, done by the late Hugh 'Jeep' Holland, who died from diabetic complications nearly two decades ago," Steve adds. "The extras done by us (aside from Jeep's three recordings at United Sound) were done by John Rhys at least several months after we had broken away from Jeep's management. Therefore they really should not have been part of this 'Jeep' collection. However, John Rhys met up with Alec in California, and those recordings got added to the mix. I was surprised, as I hardly recalled that we had recorded these tunes, and did not know that John had kept them. The CD is a good collection as it has extensive liner notes and photographs."

March 1968
Herb Hendler flew in again from Los Angeles with an offer from Capitol Records, but the band flatly turned it down, demanding that they have more control over their agreement with the label. They also ended contract negotiations due to inadequate production allowance and advance bread. "There is truth to the fact that we did not accept Capitol's initial offer," Steve Lyman confirms, "but I don't recall much about it, other than us demanding more control over our material."

​Saturday, March 9, 1968 (approximate date)
The band did a private audition at The Fifth Dimension in Ann Arbor for Kit Lambert, co-owner of Track Record, a UK indie label whose artists included The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. Lambert, who also co-managed The Who, was in Detroit on March 9 because The Who played at the Grande Ballroom that evening, so it is possible that the audition with SRC was held that same day or at least few days earlier or later. "Pete Townshend of The Who liked us", Scott Richardson recalls, "and set up the meeting with Kit Lambert. We did a private audition for Kit only at The Fifth Dimension in Ann Arbor. We wanted to do our live show. He then played us the acetates for 'Hey Joe' by Jimi Hendrix and 'Fire' by Arthur Brown, and offered us a deal".

February ??, 1969: SRC Home Studio Recording, 1127 Broadway Street, Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan
Although most all the basic tracks of their new up-coming second album 'Milestones' had been done in the previous months with Steve Lyman still in the band, the new five piece line-up of SRC recorded at last minute two new songs to be included in the album: 'Eye Of The Storm' and 'I Remember Your Face'. Scott Richardson had a lyrical concept for a song about "eye of the storm" since Steve Lyman was still with the band, but at that time they were at a stalemate in coming up with an appropriate musical idea, so finally the words and music of 'Eye Of The Storm' was not written until just after Steve Lyman was out of the band, and recorded shortly thereafter exactly. 'I Remember Your Face' was a song (words and music) that Steve Lyman had been written back in 1965 when he was with his previous teenage band The Ravens (but never recorded back then), but when he was with SRC this song had not yet been seriously even considered as a track for the 'Milestones' album. However, after Steve Lyman was out of the band, they decided to recorded that song with the music re-written by Glenn Quackenbush and with Scott Richardson that altered one line in the lyrics. Steve Lyman was never aware that they had recorded a re-make of his old song, until he purchased a copy of the 'Milestones' album one month later.

Late February/Early March 1969
SRC completed the recording and the final mix of their new up-coming second album. 

March 1969
SRC's second album, 'Milestones' (Capitol ST-134; tracklist: 'No Secret Destination / Show Me / Eye Of The Storm / I Remember Your Face / In The Hall Of The Mountain King / Bolero / Checkmate / Our Little Secret / Turn Into Love / Up All Night / The Angel Song'), was released in the US. The album was co-produced by SRC and John Eddins. The songs were written by SRC, except for 'In The Hall Of The Mountain King' that was written by Edvard Grieg, and 'Bolero' written by Jimmy Page. The album was re-issued in 1991 only in the US. The album was also re-issued in 1998 only in UK coupled with their debut album 'SRC', and later in 2012 again only in UK coupled with their debut album 'SRC' and their third album 'Traveler's Tale'. Anyway, this second album sold about three times as well as the first album (despite virtually no promotion by Capitol) and staying on the Billboard and Cashbox national charts for nine weeks, climbing as high as #134. This enabled the band to get out and play outside of the Midwest. The album even got a substantial amount of airplay in Europe (London, UK and Amsterdam, Holland). The response was significant enough for EMI Records (the giant British Corporation which owns Capitol) to pick up the album for release over there in the UK, later that same year.

September 1969
Gary Quackenbush leaves SRC. It got to the point where they couldn't completely carry on with Gary. It was like another plateau that they were building up to. They'd been to California a month earlier, and they'd learned some things and gotten it into their heads what their next level of working would be. They began reorganizing their program to take care of the mistakes they'd made before and didn't want to make again. They just had to make another step and Gary couldn't make it with them. In the meantime, a local guitar player called Ray Goodman (b. Sunday, December 31, 1950, Detroit, MI; ex The Invictas, Bobby Franklin & The Famous Brothers, Bobby Franklin's Insanity, Soul's Image, and Blueberry Jam), who had seen the band a few times and liked them, read somewhere that they needed a new guitarist so he called Alan Sussman at Pioneer Records and the latter arranged an audition for him through the band producer John Rhys. The band liked him and Ray joined the band (actually he was with them since early August and traveling with them in California for their West Coast tour, although he had not yet joined them onstage as official member until late September when Gary was "fired" exactly).

October ? - Friday, December 19, 1969: SRC Home Recording Studio, Traver Street, Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan
SRC recorded their third album, 'Traveler's Tale'. The recording of this album, originally to be titled 'The New Crusader,' was one of the major events in the career of the SRC. They finally have an album package that they're satisfied with and a sound on record that they're extremely satisfied with. Besides using a new guitarist, there were other major changes in the production of the album because they used orchestration for the first time. It was a major change for them because, besides gaining Ray Goodman, they had taken a step forward technically and they had a lot more capabilities and a lot more things to work with, and working with an orchestra is completely different. The SRC used thirty strings, five French horns and the guidance of 22 year old composer and Stockhausen freak Bob Boury for one cut on the album called 'The Offering'. Except for 'The Offering', the entire album was arranged and produced by the entire band, and engineered by E.G. Clawson and Glenn Quackenbush, and they recorded all the basic tracks at their new own home studio in Traver Street (they moved there some time earlier after their old house in Broadway Street was condemned), with a new eight-track recorder and then took them to GM studios in Detroit to do the mixing.

​Sunday, February 15, 1970 (?)
Ray Goodman left the band right before the release of their new album 'Traveler's Tale'. Although the six months they played and recorded together was artistically satisfying for both parts, Ray turned out not to be the right guitarist for the band, and vice versa, due to significant personal and artistic differences. So he went to play with Detroit Featuring Mitch Ryder (and later also with The Fallen Angels, Luther Allison, and many others), and SRC asked to Gary Quacknebush to re-joined them.

After they were dropped from Rare Earth Records due to lack of sales of their Blue Scepter's single, SRC signed a new record deal with a small local label called Big Casino Records, and for them they released only in the US, their fourth and last single, 'Born To Love / The Badaz Shuffle' (Big Casino BC-1001). 'Born To Love' was written by Michael Valvano & Cholly Bassoline and was co-produced by them and the band, while 'The Badaz Shuffle' was written and produced by the band. 

Saturday, January 27, 1973: 'Coffee House', Assumption College Catholic High School, 1100 Huron Church Road, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
SRC played their last public gig as headliners, along with Rock & The Sharks, during a 'Coffee House', a type of open mic night that allows students to showcase their musical talents. The show, which started at 8:00pm, was presented by The Gallery. 

Sunday, January 28, 1973: Bimbo's, 114 East Washington Street, Downtown Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan
SRC held a private party for the crew to announce their impending break up, after Scott Richardson and Richard Haddad decided to leave the band to go to form a new one called The Fallen Angels, and after the band asked a local bass player named Byron 'Ted' Coons to replaced them, but it never happened so finally they broke up for good exactly. Gary Quackenbush went to play with Sunday Funnies at that point.
