"Images of Life comprises three LPs; Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970) centers on Lucas' early bands; Rainy Days (1970-1974) gathers solo material from the lead-up to his 1975 self-titled album; and Impossible Love (1979) is a 'lost' album produced by Don Was."
"During the late 1960s, Lucas studied sitar with Ravi Shankar and found work as a Motown session musician. By 1975, though, two of his bands had been dropped by Warner Bros."
"Lucas decided to self-release the collection of demos, which became known as The OM Album. Last year, Third Man put out an expanded edition of The OM Album under the title Ted Lucas."
Third Man Records will release a box set titled Images of Life on May 22, featuring rare and previously unheard recordings by Ted Lucas. The collection includes three LPs: Strange Mysterious Sounds, which focuses on Lucas' early bands; Rainy Days, showcasing solo material leading up to his 1975 album; and Impossible Love, a lost album produced by Don Was. Lucas, who studied sitar with Ravi Shankar and worked as a Motown session musician, self-released his demo collection known as The OM Album after being dropped by Warner Bros.
