THE NEON PHILHARMONIC~YOU LIED

THE NEON PHILHARMONIC~YOU LIED THE NEON PHILHARMONIC~YOU LIED 1969 The Neon Philharmonic, subtitled Dedicated to the Baroness d'A, is the eponymous second album by The Neon Philharmonic, again consisting of songs written by Tupper Saussy and sung by Don Gant. “You Lied“ and “No One Is Going To Hurt You“ were released as a single in July 1969. Each song has a brief parenthetical description of the intent of the song. The Neon Philharmonic (formed 1967) was an American psychedelic pop band led by songwriter and conductor Tupper Saussy and singer Don Gant. They released their only two albums (The Moth Confesses and the eponymous The Neon Philharmonic) in 1969, and they scored a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Morning Girl“, when it hit the Top Forty in May of that year and rose to number 17 on the chart. The band hit the charts again with “Heighdy-Ho Princess“ in 1970. The group was produced by Saussy, Gant, and Bob McCluskey, and engineered by Ronald Gant, Don's brother. The group disbanded in 1975 after releasing numerous non-album singles. Although the first album stated Borges Forever!, the group's concertmaster is really Pierre Menard, and it is not a reference to the Jorge Luis Borges story Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote - Saussy was not conscious of the connection. The bulk of the groups' output was released by Warner Bros./Seven Arts Records. In 1972, they moved to TRX and produced another single, “Annie Poor“ / “Love Will Find a Way“, after which the group disbanded. The Neon Philharmonic name was sold to producer David Kastle, who put out additional singles released by MCA Records and London Records
