Now I remember a little story going back to the 70s about this track,

The Moods - Rainmaker

Rumour had it that this group were infact The Volcanos moonlighting on another lable and obulasly ( can't spell that word) for legal reasons had to change their group name.

Not sure if this was true, but always stuck in my head.

That's right Shute tho' your spelling is obviously appalling :thumbsup:

They were either moonlighting or had changed their name, possibly the latter as they also had a release on Reddog - "King Hustler"

Believe the "Moods" then went on to become the Trammps ?

Yes this is also correct. :thumbsup:

I might be wrong but there isn't a white demo of the Moods or any other Wand records..is there?

There were some funny ones in the early 60's which are mainly white but cannot recall seeing a pure white demo - would need to check through my stuff to be 100% sure.

The Moods is from 72 or 73 though I think...demo is black and white

Yes in line with most Wand demos from the early 70's. They kind of changed between black/white demos and the "plate of psychodelic sick" multicoloured logo. Later they went to orange. I've got a niggling feeling I have a couple of really white ones though from around 63-4 now that I think of it - 100% white with just a gold star. But no pure white demos from the 70s. :thumbsup:

Now that I've got me anorak out would place the Moods at 1969-70.

It was also rumoured/stated when this was first played that the Moods were once the Volcanoes.

So Volcanoes=Moods=Trammps!

Sold my copy for 40 pence in '95 as part of being skint in a divorce and sold all my records for food and bills money!

Might pick it up again..!

Moods was issued 1970. They were formed with some of the members of the Volcanos and were produced by John Madara (Len Barry - I'll Always need you) fame. He says Darryl Hall and John Oates also had involvement in the recording.???

I'd personnally rate the Moods on Wand at nearer £40 than £20.. great tune and has all but diappeared
