23rd Turnoff Was A Short-Lived British Band Formed In Liverpool In June 1967 The Band's Name Was An In-Joke Referring To The Exit Off The M-6 Motorway That Led To Liverpool . Comprising Jimmy Campbell Lead Vocals Rhythm Guitar John Lloyd Lead Guitar Vocals Alby Power Bass And Kenny Goodlass Drums The Band Released The Single "Michael Angelo / Leave Me Here" In 1967 And Disbanded By 1968. The Band's History Was A Bit Like That Of The Tremeloes Or Closer To Home Town The Beatles In That Their Musical Lineage Went Back To The End Of The 1950s. With Guitarist/composer Jimmy Campbell As Their Leader They Went Through A Long And Musically Credible Stint As The Kirkbys Before Evolving Into 23rd Turnoff Embracing Flower-Power And Psychedelia In The Process. Their Magnum Opus Was "Michaelangelo " A Song That Should Have Fit Right In With Pieces Like "Nights In White Satin " Among Other Melancholic Hits. It Didn't Make The Charts And Eventually The Group Split Up And Campbell Teamed Up With Billy Kinsley To Form Rockin' Horse. read less
