The Beautiful Apollo (Barra-Donna)

The Apollo’s Apaches from Chicago, Illinois  released their debut 45 in February 1966. Both sides of the 45 have appeared on compilation albums and the group's "Cry me a Lie"has become a garage classic. The song would later be picked up and released on the  Barra-Donna record label in April 1967.


The Apollo’s Apaches change their name to The Beautiful Apollo and release two more records on
 Barra-Donna. The 45 featured  on the blog is the second release as the The Beautiful Apollo. It has the bubblegum sounding song "Spring Timey". I think it came out in 1969 but more info is needed to know for sure. The song writers for the song are original band members Ray and Richie Mallow. One more thing , the ending of "Spring Timey"is a little different.

  1. Hi Michael
    It has a totally different sound than Apollo's Apaches first release. The Flip side has a soul sound, again totally different.
