The project a concept album involving themes of Americana, humor, youth, innocence, and the natural world was planned as a twelve-track LP assembled from modular fragments, the same editing process used on their single "Good Vibrations". After a year of recording, the album was shelved and a downscaled version, Smiley Smile, was released in September 1967. Over the next four decades, few of the original Smile tracks were officially issued, and the project became regarded as the most legendary unreleased album in popular music history...

The Staple Singers were an American gospel, soul, and R&B singing group. Roebuck "Pops" Staples (December 28, 1914 – December 19, 2000), the patriarch of the family, formed the group with his children Cleotha (April 11, 1934 – February 21, 2013), Pervis (November 18, 1935 – May 6, 2021), and Mavis (b. July 10, 1939). Yvonne (October 23, 1937 – April 10, 2018) replaced her brother when he was drafted into the U.S. Army, and again in 1970. They are best known for their 1970s hits "Respect Yourself", "I'll Take You There", "If You're Ready (Come Go with Me)", and "Let's Do It Again". While the family name is Staples, the group used "Staple" commercially.

Shigeru Narumo was a well known Japanese musician, grandson of the founder of the Bridgestone tire company, who became involved with Greco  in the mid 70's. He worked with the brand to improve the designs, and especially include features that would make the guitars more comfortable for the Japanese musicians, like a belly contour, and slightly thinner necks than the original inspiration. Also he was the one to suggest having bridge humbuckers with no covers. Greco EG-800S Shigeru Narumo Model.

Up The Hardway the debut album by band (and only official album), released in 1974. Hackensack existed between 1968 and 1974 and released the abovementioned album and one single. They were formed by vocalist Nicky Moore, one of England's best frontmen. They built up a good reputation as a hard working and hard rocking blues/rock quartet. Their only album release is quite collectible today, and had a good mix of solid rockers as well as the odd tasteful blues track. Unfortunately its failure to do much led to the demise of the band in 1974.

The band is noted for its unique mix of elements drawing from artists such as War, Funkadelic and Sly & the Family Stone, with a fearless combination of rock, funk, soul, jazz. Their self-titled 1971 album is considered a very tasty slab of Mexican psychedelic funk. The band emerged in the late 1960s in Mexico City and is regarded as one of the most important Mexican groups of the late 1960s, known for the excellent musical talent of its young members.
