THE POWER PLANT - SHE'S SO FAR OUT SHE'S IN

THE POWER PLANT - 'It Can't Happen Without You' / 'She's So Far Out She's In' (Diamond D-229) September 1967
This 45 is a mystery, little has been written about it in guides etc. It was even omitted from 'Fuzz, Acid & Flowers' and 'Teenbeat Mayhem'.
Both sides were written and produced by Baker Knight leading me to suspect that The Power Plant could have been recordings by Baker Knight with his backing band The Knightmares but under a different guise.
** I have since found some in depth information on soundcloud which more or less discounts my theory. It appears that Baker Knight was simply the songwriter and producer for a soul group calling themselves The Power Plant! **
'She's So Far Out She's In' has got a faster tempo than any of the other versions recorded by other groups. I'd make this version the definitive one..
With a Sept 1967 release date, it came out later than any of the others. But would have been more or less unheard back then because it was the B-Side of a soul pop tune 'I Can't Happen Without You'

The Monkees played this at some of their early concerts, and also recorded a version during the Headquarters sessions but never completed it sadly.

Billy Fury recorded this in 65. Sounds a lot like the Sir Douglas Quintet's She's about a mover.

Sounds like The Beatles - She's A Woman and Yakety Yak by The Coasters. Awesome 1967 pop cover.
Was this band from NY ?
COOL band info.
