“Lower Level” (1967) – The Beau Brummels * Written by Ron Elliott * Produced by Lenny Waronker * 45: “Magic Hollow” / “Lower Level” * Label: Warner Bros.
Chronically out of print Beau Brummels song—the B-side to their atmospheric and idyllic “Magic Hollow” A-side. This has an airiness to it that suggests sweet oblivion and mind satisfaction within an enormous, bustling public building where open windows send your thoughts drifting out over the traffic. The group was a trio at this point, just Sal Valentino, Ron Elliott, and Ron Meagher.
