A legendary disc since its inclusion on the original Psychedelic Disaster Whirl LP. Nothing is known about the band except they might have been from Los Angeles or somewhere in the San Fernando Valley. Tarzana is a possibility.
“Cuttin’ Grass” and “X+Y=13” were both written by T. Jones and released on the Santus Record Company label, SS-11/12, in 1967. The publishing was by Hoblong Music, produced by Long-Miller Enterprises. Half of Long-Miller was Joe Long of Encino, who had a 45 as Big Joe Long, “Just For a While” / “The Things You Do”.
The Caretakers of Deception 45 has recently been booted.
It looks like no one knows anything. Man, i really thought that someone on this page would know anything.
Hello Dan,
I am T.Jones and if you want to know about TCOD I am the founder.
Best,

Bonjour, je suis interessé. Comment pourrais-je vous joindre?
Gotta give it time, it can take years before info comes forward!
Chris,
You are a wise man. I am T. Jones
x+y=3 was covered by THE THANES from Scotland and released as a 45 in 1997 but had been in the band’s repertoire for a good 10 years since there’s a recording of it when they were called the GREEN TELESCOPE…
Thank you!,
Though I don’t think that it will make T. Jones visit this page and tell all of the wonderful stories he might have regarding Caretakers of Deception. Shouldn’t MopTopMike know something, he knows everything in this area.
Hi my name is Susan Slade but formally Susan Jones. My brother is T and he is still in Ca. making records.
Please invite your brother to chime in and tell us about his group!
My name is Joseph Aptel, I met T Jones and became friends in 1965.
in 1968 I went to Vietnam but just before going I watch T Jones performing with his band publicly at US Grant High School in Southern California.
Try Tom Chase Jones in sherman oaks california. I am almost certain that you will find that this is thr guy.

I am sure that all this interest will fade as it has been years ago but I would like to thank all those who have shown interest. I now live in Georgia, we moved from Los Angeles last November and now I perform and compose music for international composition students. I am the cofounder of MITA (Music Interval Theory Academy). I am very appreciative of all who grooved to Cuttin’ Grass, X+Y=13. I will always love that band as we lived in a magical time. Still goin’ strong with a “Melted Plastic Brain”.
Best always,
T. jones
Hello Mr. Jones,
I think interest in the Caretakers of Deception is greater than ever! Can you tell us who else was in the group? Thank you!
