Post Description

The Aerovons were formed in 1966 in St Louis, Missouri by Tom Hartman. A 1967 demo 
record was heard by a representative of Capitol Records. In spite of an offer to record in 
Los Angeles, the group held out hope that they could record in London, the recording 
home of their heroes, The Beatles. In 1968 they travelled to London twice, receiving 
offers from both EMI and Decca. In 1969, the band returned to London and recorded an 
album at Abbey Road studio. Guitarist Bob Frank, a longtime member of the group, left 
the group just before they went to London to record, due to personal issues. Despite 
blogs and rumors to the contrary, Bob was never "let go" and was always missed, 
according to leader Tom Hartman. Only once in England did the band realize that his 
replacement, Phil Edholm, and the group had differences that proved insurmountable. 
He left shortly after they began recording. Once the album was finished, the band 
returned to St. Louis where more personal problems between a group member and 
his family caused the group to splinter. EMI decided not to release the album. EMI 
invited Tom Hartman to come to England and reload, so to speak, but Hartman felt 
moving to England was too great a step at his age, and the partnership with EMI was 
dissolved. The album was not released until a CD release in 2003 by RPM.
