And Now For The Particulars:

Hour One

1.   Douglas Rankine & The Secrets: Here Comes Shack (B McFarlane / W McCauley)
45 single: RCA Victor Canada International - 57-3384
Toronto, ON
Douglas Rankine – guitar, vocal
Bob Mark - guitar
Henry S. Thaler - keys
Mike Woodruff - bass
Rick Felstead - drums
Producer by Brian MacFarland – 1966

Originally known as The Bob Mark Six, this Toronto band was signed to Arc Records and became The Secrets. They released "Crying Over Her" on ARC Records which helped raise their profile and get them better live bookings.

While playing at the Toronto Pressmen's Club, CBC TV's Brian MacFarland introduced himself to the band and wanted the band to record a song he'd written for the Toronto Maple Leafs' defenseman Eddie Shack called "Clear The Track (Here Comes Shack)". The band agreed under the assumption that the recording was a gift for McFarland's hockey playing friend. However, much to their surprise, and that of their label ARC Records, the song was released nationally under the name Douglas Rankine With The Secrets on RCA's Canadian International label. The band was embarrassed by the release and tried to distance themselves from it despite reaching #1 on the CHUM Chart in February 1966 and managing No.56 on the national charts by April of 1966 for total run of nine weeks radio play.

 Now signed to Arc's Yorkville Records imprint, the Secrets wanted to distance themselves from being pigeon-holed as a "novelty act" and soon changed their name to The Quiet Jungle.

 Their first single, "Ship Of Dreams", was released in early 1967, and reached #31 on the CHUM chart (and No.43 nationally) by February. The record achieved the desired effect in leaving the previous single a memory and gave the band a renewed spirit.

Mexico had an anti-hippie anit-longhair policy (especially at the border). They banned Hair after only 1 performance and deported many progressive musicians. To get around holding the Festival, they billed it as a racing car event (sorta like Strawberry Fields at Mosport Speedway held the year before). Est 500,000 attended. 3 Souls were the last to play.

Alex Lora became the first Mexican rock band to have a Gold certified record with their album "Simplemente" The 2008 Lonely Planet guide to Mexico calls El Tri "the grandfathers of Mexican rock."
