April 1962
Originally from Birmingham, Michigan, The Fugitives started out under the name The Tremelos when pianist Glenn Quackenbush (b. Glenn Newell Quackenbush, Sept. 28, 1946, Englewood, NJ) met drummer Elmer Clawson (b. Elmer George Clawson, July 23, 1947 - d. July 23, 2003 from cancer). The original line-up was completed with bassist John Boyles (b. 1947), lead guitarist Rett Nichols (b. 1946) and Glenn's younger brother Gary Quackenbush (b. Gary Jessup Quackenbush, April 25, 1948, Englewood, NJ). Gary was chosen to be the additional guitarist (he took formal guitar lessons since 1960), when another guitarist named Bill Main (who had already been playing with Clawson) failed to show up at the practice. Glenn's classmate Steve Lyman (they met in Cub Scouts when they were about ten) was recruited to teach lead guitar parts to Rett Nichols, and basic guitar instruction to Gary Quackenbush, in some specific songs of artists like: The Ventures, Freddie King and Lonnie Mack. The Tremelos rehearsed in Clawson's basement. Initially they played only instrumentals songs but some time later they eventually began doing vocal songs and at that point their bassist John Boyles became their singer too, because he was the best one in the band to handle the singing.
THE TREMELOS (APR 1962 - JAN 1964)
1) Gary Quackenbush rhythm guitar
2) Glenn Quackenbush electric piano
3) Elmer Clawson drums
4) John Boyles vocals, bass
5) Rett Nichols lead guitar
Summer 1963: unknown venue, Birmingham, MI "Battle of the Bands"

The Tremelos playing a fraternity party and met college student Edward 'Punch' Andrews, who hired them to play at a 'New Year's Eve' party at a home in Grosse Pointe.
Tuesday, December 31, 1963: unknown private home, Grosse Pointe, MI "New Year's Eve Party"
Edward 'Punch' Andrews invited his friend Dave Leone that night to see The Tremelos. Already dreaming of being big-time record moguls, the two convinced the band that they should be recording.
January 1964
A fan of the TV show The Fugitive, Dave Leone wrote a song with the same title, and then convinced The Tremelos to record it and change their name to The Fugitives. Dave Leone then contacted Quinn Martin, the producer of the TV show, to get his permission, but Martin shut him down as far as rights and usage of the show's name, so Dave decided to put the record out as 'A Fugitive'.

ca. February 1964: United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, MI
The Fugitives recorded the aforementioned song 'A Fugitive'. Dave Leone managed to get it released on 'D-Town Records', a local small R&B label.
ca. March 1964
The Fugitives released their first single: 'A Fugitive / A Fugitive (instrumental)' (D-Town 1031). The record had no distribution and the few copies pressed were passed around town to promote the band and are virtually impossible to find today. Although 'A Fugitive' faded fast, the record did provide some publicity and disc jockey Don Zee play the record on WXYZ-AM radio.
ca. April 1964: United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, MI
The Fugitives recorded their second single and Dave Leone managed again to get it released on 'D-Town Records'.
ca. May 1964

Friday, May 8, 1964: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue, Harper Woods, MI
Dave Leone and Edward 'Punch' Andrews opened a teen club in a VFW hall and The Fugitives became the house band there. The Hideout was the first teen club in the state of Michigan that featured live music from eight to midnight each Friday night. Up until that time there had been teen dances with recording artists, mainly black, lip-syncing to records. The first night, eighty people showed up and heard The Fugitves do an ultradirty version of 'Louie, Louie', a recent smash hit by The Kingsmen. As word of their performance spread and kids realized there were no chaperones, the building filled to its capacity, 550 persons.
May - September 1964: The Hideout #1, 20542 Harper Avenue, Harper Woods, MI
The Fugitives played there as house band every Fridays.

Summer 1964
Dave Leone adding a local record label called 'Hideout Records' to his club enterprise and the first released was an album by The Fugitives titled: 'The Fugitives At Dave's Hideout' (Hideout HLP-1001). The album's ten songs (the material ranged from 'Love Potion #9' and 'Louie Louie' to originals like Leone's 'Friday At The Hideout') were recorded on two tracks into a portable tape machine at the home of the Quackenbush brothers. On one track they had already recorded the songs, and then they put a crowd of kids together and recorded them making the live sounds. The night before the album went on sale, Dave Leone gathered a bunch of the regulars and had a party, with everyone helping to put the covers together with mask tape. Dave Leone pressed five hundred copies of the album and sold out the record for three dollars each in one night only at The Hideout.
September 1964
Glenn Quackenbush and Rett Nichols left The Fugitives because both had graduated from high school and gone off to college (Rett goes to 'Michigan State University' in Lansing, and Glenn goes to 'Middlebury College' in Vermont and there he played with another band called The Norsemen). The band replaced them with Butch Hamilton on electric piano and Paul Kelcourse on lead guitar.

September 1965
The Fugitives broke up after John Boyles had graduated from high school and gone off to college ('University of Michigan' in Ann Arbor where he was "fraternity brother" with Glenn Quackenbush because the latter had now moved there from 'Middlebury College') and after Elmer Clawson had also graduated from "Brother Rice High School" and went to work for a big construction company owned by the father of one of his friends (he also goes to 'Cleary Business College' in Ypsilanti). During the next high school year, Gary Quackenbush (who was now in his senior year) began playing as rhythm guitarist with another local band known as The Yorkshires (he played with them through the summer of 1966, after his June graduation from high school, and at some point his brother Glenn also played with him in that band but only as "guest" for a couple of gigs). Also around that time Gary teaching future The Stooges's lead guitarist James Williamson to play some songs on guitar, like The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride".
May 1966
In Ann Arbor, along with John Boyles and Elmer Clawson in trying to put The Fugitives back together, Glenn Quackenbush found out that his old friend Steve Lyman (b. Steven Case Lyman, March 30, 1946, Marine Hospital, Staten Island, NY) was then going to college at 'Eastern Michigan University' in Ypisilanti, slightly east of Ann Arbor, so he called Steve on the phone at his college dormitory and asked him if he was interested in joining the reformed band as their new guitarist.

At that point John Boyles, who had always been The Fugitives' vocalist, chose to leave the band after they formally broke up two month later and was replaced on bass in this "new" band by Scott and Jeep's close friend Robin Dale (b. Peter Robin Dale, July 5, 1948, London, UK), the latter former roadie of The Rationals after he immigrated to US that summer from Taiwan, China, where he had been living since his young childhood.

These tracks were their first choice for their first single release for their manager Jeep Holland's 'A-Square Records' local label. Also around that time the new yet unnamed band went to live together in a dilapidated rental house at 1157 Broadway Street, approximately one mile northeast of downtown Ann Arbor, several blocks east of the train station.

The new yet unnamed band playing his second gig at a "record hop" for deejay Bob Dell of WTAC-AM radio in Flint, Michigan. Bob Seger, Mike Morgan from The Underdogs and (possibly) Mark Farner from Terry Knight & The Pack were there just to check them out. That night their manager Jeep Holland immediately insisted that they return as soon as possible in the studio to record a Skip James cover titled: 'I'm So Glad' to be the A-side of their first single, instead of their aforementioned planned cover of The Pretty Things's 'Get The Picture' (that was released some time later as their 2nd single).
January ??, 1967: United Sound Systems Recording Studio, 5840 Second Avenue, Detroit, MI
After within a week or two, the new yet unnamed band was back in the studio to record: 'I'm So Glad'.

The newly named 'The Scot Richard Case' playing their first gigs at two small fraternity party. They settled upon the name 'The Scot Richard Case' before the end of January. It accidentally came from Steve Lyman's middle name 'Case' but not in any sense like the band was being named after him. It just sounded good to them, meaning (in other words) "the situation about Scot Richard". It was their manager Jeep Holland who suggested that they come up with a new band-name centered around Scott's name, telling them that in doing so, it would likely create more attention to the group, such as getting their locally-released record played on the Detroit-area radio stations.

The band had complained that their mananger Jeep Holland had wanted to exercise artistic control more and more strongly at a time when they were becoming more serious about their music, so they fired him (he was not happy with ther decision obviously!) and replaced him with Pete Andrews, who owned a paint company in Ann Arbor and a rock club in Tawas. They chose him although he had no real experience being a band manager so he really kind of left them alone in some regards, which was good because they were pretty headstrong. But he could book a show and that's really what he did.

November 1967
Their former manager Jeep Holland released only in US a second and last single of The Scot Richard Case: 'Get The Picture / I Need You' (A2 402). It was Jeep Holland who orchestrated this A-Square release (the band did not know about the release at all, until after it came out) and labeling the band as 'The Old Exciting Scot Richard Case' on the disc (it was not something the band wanted to have done). The band played only on the A-side because 'Get The Picture' was the only unreleased recording by the band that Jeep had in his possession (being the first song that they had recorded early that year), and that's why he backed it with a song by The Rationals (credited as 'The Early Rationals' on the disc) titled: 'I Need You'. The Scot Richard Case and The Rationals were "rival" bands but their members were friends and Glenn Quackenbush around that time played as sessionmen on The Rationals' new single: 'Leavin' Here / Not Like It Is'.

September 1967
The band had complained that their mananger Jeep Holland had wanted to exercise artistic control more and more strongly at a time when they were becoming more serious about their music, so they fired him (he was not happy with ther decision obviously!) and replaced him with Pete Andrews, who owned a paint company in Ann Arbor and a rock club in Tawas. They chose him although he had no real experience being a band manager so he really kind of left them alone in some regards, which was good because they were pretty headstrong. But he could book a show and that's really what he did.

June - early August 1968: Studio B, Tera Shirma Recording Studios, 15341 Livernois Avenue, Detroit, MI
The band were likely even at the Tera Shirma studio as early as the month of May, but went there several times before they actually began, with John Rhys as producer, the recording process of their first self-titled album during the month of June, as they were so particular in how they wanted it done. The recording was all completed in the months of June and July, and the final mix done by John Rhys (with the band assistance) no later than the very beginning of August, at which time they also had Ron Ashcroft's album cover artwork ready for 'Capitol Records'.

SRC released only in US their first album: 'SRC' (Capitol ST 2991; track list: 'Black Sheep / Daystar / Exile / Marionette / Onesimpletask / Paragon Council / Refugeve / Interval' + bonus tracks on the reissued 1993's CD version: 'Morning Mood / Black Sheep (45 version)'). The album featured Motor City-style rock with a psychedelic edge and, in the best Detroit tradition, sold well in Michigan but nationally stalled at number 147 after four weeks in Billboard's LP chart between September and October.

Sunday, November 3, 1968
Robin Dale was kicked out of SRC when several members wanted to replace him with former Thyme's bass player Alan James 'Al' Wilmot. It was a E.G. Clawson's idea to call Al on the phone one night and told him they wanted him to become their new bass player. Al always had liked them and had been deep into their music and he fit right into the group perfectly.

December 1968: SRC Home Studio Recording, 1157 Broadway Street, Ann Arbor, MI and Studio B, Tera Shirma Recording Studios, 15341 Livernois Avenue, Detroit, MI
At their home studio in Broadway Street, the band began laying down the basic tracks for their new second album: 'Milestones', again with John Rhys as producer, at least by the early part of this month. It was done initially on a Scully four-track deck, which they had purchased from 'Tera Shirma Recording Studios' and had set-up in their home studio, so that they could do four basic tracks for each song before proceding into the 'Tera Shirma' studio (which was quite costly per-hour) to add vocals and lead-guitar parts, as well as organ-solos.

February ??, 1969: SRC Home Studio Recording, 1157 Broadway Street, Ann Arbor, MI
Although most all the basic tracks of their new up-coming second album 'Milestones' had been done in the previous months with Steve Lyman still in the band, the new five piece line-up of SRC recorded at last minute two new songs to be included in the album: 'Eye Of The Storm' and 'I Remember Your Face'. Scott Richardson had a lyrical concept for a song about "eye of the storm" since Steve Lyman was still with the band, but at that time they were at a stalemate in coming up with an appropriate musical idea, so finally the words and music of 'Eye Of The Storm' was not written until just after Steve Lyman was out of the band, and recorded shortly thereafter exactly. 'I Remember Your Face' was a song (words and music) that Steve Lyman had been written back in 1965 when he was with his previous teenage band The Ravens (but never recorded back then), but when he was with SRC this song had not yet been seriously even considered as a track for the 'Milestones' album. However, after Steve Lyman was out of the band, they decided to recorded that song with the music re-written by Glenn Quackenbush and with Scott Richardson that altered one line in the lyrics. Steve Lyman was never aware that they had recorded a re-make of his old song, until he purchased a copy of the 'Milestones' album one month later.

late February or early March 1969
SRC completed the recording and the final mix of their new up-coming second album.
March 1969
SRC released their second album: 'Milestones' (Capitol ST 134; track list: 'No Secret Destination / Show Me / Eye of the Storm / I Remember Your Face / In the Hall of the Mountain King - Bolero / Checkmate / Our Little Secret / Turn Into Love / Up All Night / The Angel Song'; the albums was also reissued on CD in 1991). The band's second LP sold about three times as well as the first album (despite virtually no promotion by Capitol) and staying on the Billboard and Cashbox national charts for nine weeks, climbing to number 134. This enabled the band to get out and play outside of the Midwest. The album even got a substantial amount of airplay in Europe (London, UK and Amsterdam, Holland). The response was significant enough for 'EMI Records' (the giant British Corporation which owns Capitol) to pick up the album for release over there. Also around that same time the band released their second single: 'Turn Into Love / Up All Night' (Capitol 2457).

Gary Quackenbush left the band. It got to the point where they couldn't completely carry on with Gary. It was like another plateau that they were building up to. They'd been to California a month earlier, and they'd learned some things and gotten it into their heads what their next level of working would be. They began reorganizing their program to take care of the mistakes they'd made before and didn't want to make again. They just had to make another step and Gary couldn't make it with them. In the meantime, a local guitar player called Ray Goodman (b. December 31, 1950, Detroit, MI; ex The Invictas, Bobby Franklin & The Famous Brothers, Bobby Franklin's Insanity, Soul's Image, and Blueberry Jam), who had seen the band a few times and liked them, read somewhere that they needed a new guitarist so he called Alan Sussman at Pioneer Records and the latter arranged an audition for him through John Rhys, the band's producer. The band liked him and Ray joined the band (actually he was with them since early August and traveling with them in California for their West Coast tour, although he had not yet joined them onstage as official member until late September when Gary was "fired" exactly).

early October - Friday, December 19, 1969: SRC Home Recording Studio, Traver Street, Ann Arbor, MI
SRC recorded their third album: 'Traveler's Tale'. The recording of this album was one of the major events in the careers of the SRC. They finally have an album package that they're satisfied with and a sound on record that they're extremely satisfied with. Besides using a new guitarist, there were other major changes in the production of the album because they used orchestration for the first time. It was a major change for them because, besides gaining Ray Goodman, they had taken a step forward technically and they had a lot more capabilities and a lot more things to work with, and working with an orchestra is completely different. The SRC used thirty strings, five French horns and the guidance of 22 year old composer and Stockhausen freak Bob Boury for one cut on the album called 'The Offering'. Except for 'The Offering', the entire album was arranged and produced by the entire band, and engineered by E.G. Clawson and Glenn Quackenbush, and they recorded all the basic tracks at their new own home studio in Traver Street (they moved there some time earlier after their old house in Broadway Street was condemned), with a new eight-track recorder and then took them to GM studios in Detroit to do the mixing.

Although their new album 'Traveler's Tale' was artistically satisfying, Ray Goodman turned out not to be the guitarist for SRC, and vice versa, due to significant personal and artistic differences. So Goodman left to play with Mitch Ryder's band (and later with The Fallen Angels) and the SRC asked Gary Quackenbush to play with them again.

The Morgan Road property did had an adjacent huge garage-type building that they are presently converting into a professional studio called 'Morgan Sound Theatre' and there they recorded what was to become their posthumous album: 'Lost Masters' (One Way Records 1993; track list: 'After Your Heart / Gypsy Eyes / Valerie / Love is Here Now / Heatwave / Out in the Night / Badaz Shuffle / Eliza Green the Shimmie Queen / My Sunday's Gone / Never Let Your Daystar Fade Away / Born to Love / No Rules in Love / The Deeper the Longer / Lovelight / Cry of the Lonely / Get the Picture / Evil / I'm Crying / Ride the Wind / Richard's Song'). The first ten tracks represent what would have been SRC's fourth album, while the second ten tracks represent various stylistic experiments. Per the suggestion of Gary Quackenbush, 'Lost Masters' was dedicated to Richard Haddad that died in an automobile accident in Los Angeles in 1977.
