The only album of a musician from California, in which George Harrison played four tracks … in the early 60’s Rudy Romero played in the group “The Hard Times” together with the future guitarist “Steppenwolf” Larry Bayrom, after which he started a solo career, the label “ Tumbleweed Records Inc. ” spent a lot of money on recording his solo album, but unfortunately he did absolutely nothing to promote it and so the album went unnoticed by a wide audience of listeners….~
“It has long been rumored that George Harrison appears on this album. In "Behind Sad Eyes: The Life of George Harrison” by Marc Shapiro, he includes it in his Harrison discography: “George played guitar on the songs Lovely Lady, Nothin’ Gonna Get You Down, and Doin’ The Right Thing. He sang on the song If I Had Time.”….~
“Like all Tumbleweeds, this pop/singer-songwriter LP has an interesting background story. Romero was a talented member of San Diego 1960s band the Hardtimes who did an LP for World Pacific in 1968 (recently reissued). Apparently having relocated to Los Angeles this was his first solo effort, and it features a little-known guest appearance by none other than George Harrison, who plays guitar and sings backing vocals on four tracks. Whether George’s presence was the reason is unknown, but this LP was also released in England as Tumbleweed 3304. In typical fashion the artwork was extravagant, with a diecut cover and a white vinyl pressing.”…Lysergia….~
