S.O.D. "Precious and Few" by Climax

5/23/2016     Together from 1970-1976, this pop rock group did something with their discography that is a bit different.  They releasing one album in 1972, "Climax Featuring Sonny Geraci," which contained 12 tracks. Then in 1979 they released a compilation album entitled "Picnic in the Rain" on which only two of the songs were from the first album.  Of the other eight tunes, four were previously unreleased.  Other songs were recorded for a 2nd studio album that was never released.  

     This 1971 hit song made #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and took the #1 spot on Cashbox Magazine's Top 100 Singles chart.  In 1972 the group appeared on a popular radio show called Sounds Like the Navy. They played many of their popular hits and even some songs that they had never recorded but knew as originals. There are many in the industry that believe Climax wasn't properly promoted and should have been much more popular than they actually were.
