Graham Bond (születési neve: Graham John Clifton Bond) (Romford, Havering kerület, 1937. október 28. – Észak-London, Finsbury Park Station metróállomás, 1974. május 8.) angol énekes, orgonista, szaxofonos. Ő volt az atyja az angol rhytm & blues-nak. Valószínűleg ő volt az első angol zenész, aki Hammond orgonát, Leslie hangszórót és mellotront használt.

Maggot Brain is the third studio album by the American funk rock band Funkadelic, released by Westbound Records in July 1971. It was produced by bandleader George Clinton and recorded at United Sound Systems in Detroit during late 1970 and early 1971. The album was the final LP recorded by the original Funkadelic lineup; after its release, founding members Tawl Ross (guitar), Billy Nelson (bass), and Tiki Fulwood (drums) left the band for various reasons.

The album charted on the Billboard R&B Top 20. It is perhaps best known for its ten-minute title track, largely consisting of an improvised solo by guitarist Eddie Hazel. In 2009, Pitchfork named it the 17th best album of the 1970s. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked Maggot Brain the 136th greatest album of all time in its updated list.

A (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter egy perui pszichedelikus rockegyüttes volt Limából. 1969-ben a Los Shain's tagjai alapították. Az együttes azonban, ellentétben a Los Shain-szel ebben a szakaszban, úgy döntött, hogy új hangzásokat hoznak zenéjükbe, mint például a pszichedeliát, anélkül, hogy elhagynák az előző bandától származó garázsrockot. Nevükre a Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band nevű album utal. Rövid fennállása után 1970-ben feloszlott.

☆ The (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter was a Peruvian psychedelic rock band from Lima. 

Formed 1969 by members of Los Shain's. Disbanded after a short existence in 1970.

Rastus az Ohio állambeli Clevelandből származott, és korábban a 60-as évek végén The Fifth Amendmentként ismerték (később The Sixth Amendmentra változtatták nevüket, amikor újabb tagok érkeztek a csapathoz). A Rastus egy népszerű jazz-rock zenekar volt Chicago és Tower Of Power stílusában. Két albumot rögzített, dicséretes kritikákat kapott, és nagy rajongótábora volt, mígnem a sok személyi változás után végül feloszlott a hetvenes évek végén.
