The New Generations and the Cyclones of St Marys, PA

The New Generations Bomb 45 I Told You OnceThe New Generations came from St Marys, a rural town in NW Pennsylvania. They had one single on the amazingly-named Bomb Records, “It’s Alright” written by Victor St. John b/w “I Told You Once” by Blake Haberberger. Both songs were produced by Larry Fairchild and published by Magnetic Reproductions, BMI

I’m partial to the b-side, “I Told You Once” which has a perfectly moody, low-key atmosphere.

The New Generations Bomb 45 It's AlrightThe RCA custom pressing code SK4M 3110/1 indicates the second half of 1965, the labels also have other codes: 885-2, YZ 2154/5 whose meaning I don’t know.

I’ve read two members were with the St. Marys band the Cyclones, who had their own excellent single, “She’s No Good” / “Time for Me to Leave” both written by Hampton for Lee Music BMI in December 1965.

If anyone knows the names of other members of either band, or has a photo of either group, please contact me.
