Over the next six years the band toured
extensively, supporting an impressive string of bands ranging from Chubby
Checker to The Rolling Stones. During the same period they recorded a
stream of little heard singles for a series of small and large labels
(Triumph, Atlantic, Festival, Jubilee, Mohawk and Lawn (where they recorded
the lost classics "Your Boyfriend's Back" and "The Beatle
Bounce").
Signed by Ascot Records, 1966 saw the band release their second album.
Separately produced by Gerry Granahan and the team of Feldman-Goldstein-Gotthrer,
"Out of Sight" was all
over the musical spectrum. Clearly a reflection of their journeyman careers,
the set found Comstock and company taking capable stabs at R&B (the
single "I'm a Man"), folk-rock ("Don't You Believe"),
surf instrumentals (the self-penned title track) and blue-eyed soul
("Can't Judge a Book"). To be honest, the set didn't do much for
us the first time we heard it, but giving it a second chance revealed more
than its share of pleasures. A commercial nonentity, the set vanished
without a trace, making it fairly rare in this day and age.
