The Yankee Dollar - The Yankee Dollar (1968)

The Band originated in San Luis Obispo, CA in 1966 and was originally known as "Pacific Grass & Electric".

The band's name was changed to Yankee Dollar by lengendary Philly music producer Frank Slay (Strawberry Alarm Clock, Sugarloaf, Sal Mineo, Freddie Cannon, Danny & The Juniors, ) who was worried that the band's name would inhibit its station play on the conservative "Drake Stations" (i.e. Bill Drake banned one of Slay's previous groups, "Rainy Daze" when he discovered that their hit record "That Acapulco Gold" was actually about purchasing drugs. Ultimately, Yankee Dollar, because of Slay's involvement in the project, was banned from the Drake Stations anyway, otherwise, as Billboard surmised at the time, the Yankee Dollar's Album would've been a major hit.

If you like the harmonies of "Jefferson Airplane" , "Mamas And Papas " and the style of "Strawberry Alarm Clock" with their prominent organ parts, then you will love Yankee Dollar.
