A.k.a. Freeport (2)
Cleveland, Ohio 1968-69 Paper Sun was formed in early '68 or so. In February 1969 the members included Eric Janson (guitar and vocals), Kevin Raleigh (keyboards and vocals), Greg Holt (bass), and Bill Stallings (drums). With this lineup they recorded some songs at Landen for the ill-fated Abbey Group deal. After Chess pulled the plug on the national distribution, a very limited local pressing of two songs - "Sweetest Thing on My Mind" (written by Phil Okulovich using his "Jason Richards" pen name) and "Here Comes Tomorrow" written by Raleigh - was done on the Abbey label. Paper Sun, befitting the Traffic-inspired moniker, played a variety of late 60s rock sounds, and were popular at teen dances, such as the Hullabaloo clubs, around the area. In 1970 they changed their name to Freeport.
