THE ILLUSION - - IF IT'S SO

Artist: The Illusion
Title: If It’s So
Year: 1970
Format: LP
Label: Steed

By some standards, the Illusion were one of the most successful unknown psychedelic bands of their generation — unknown, yes, but with three LPs to their credit on the Steed label. Their personnel included Michael Ricciardella (drums), Richie Cerniglia (guitar), Chuck Alder (bass), Mike Maniscalco (guitar, keyboards), and John Vinci (vocals).

The Steed label released “Illusion”, “Together”, and “If It’s So” between 1969 and 1970. Illusion was interesting enough to observers to merit a release in England in 1969. By 1971, the Illusion’s albums were being sought by kids who’d never heard the band play. (Bruce Eder, All Music Guide)Track Listing

THE ILLUSION - TOGETHER ( AS A WAY OF LIFE)

  The Illusion – Together (As A Way Of Life) (1969)Artist: The Illusion
Title: Together (As A Way Of Life)
Year: 1969
Format: LP
Label: Steed

This is some high quality blue eyed soul! Just as good as anything The Rascals or Rare Earth ever did. Most people only remember The Illusion’s one top 40 hit “Did You See Her Eyes” or they don’t remember them at all. This is psychedelic-tinged white soul at its highest. (SleepObsessed RYM)

This album’s fantastic commercial potential is no illusion! Produced by Jeff Barry, it has a dynamic rock sound with songs that stick in the mind after just one listening.
