The South Side Movement – s/t
Dope funk lp on the Wand label from 1973. Nice drumbreak on the intro of their take on Stevie Wonder’s “superstition” if that’s your thing. This albums definitely as funky as the cover suggests.

The Tree People s/t
Here’s one of my favorite northwest private folk records. It came out of Eugene Oregon in 1979, all the songs are composed by Stephen Cohen. Stephen has a nice fragile voice that compliments his acoustic guitar nicely. About half the songs have vocals and the other half are instrumental and kinda remind me of Robbie [...]
The Trio – a splendid time is guaranteed for all
Here’s the kind of oddball record I live to find, eat your heart out Langley School. This is a crazy one, Villa Park High School vocal music department presents: A Splendid Time is Guaranteed by all by The Trio which consists of Dan Bullock, Tim Reeder and Chris Caines. Pretty much the entire album consists [...]
The Tuba Trio – Essence-The Heat and Warmth of Free Jazz
The Tuba Trio consists of Sam Rivers, Joe Daley and Warren Smith. As you can see by the picture, this was recorded live at the Bim Huis in Amsterdam in 1976. Surprisingly the tuba sounds great in the free improv setting. I really dig Sam Rivers flute playing on this one as well as Warren [...]
The Yellow Balloon – s/t
Great pop psych lp on the Canterbury label that would appeal to fans of the Beach Boys, The Zombies, The Hollies, The Kinks, The Free Design etc. etc.
Tom Smith – still lifes
Here’s a nice instrumental lp that’s still under the radar. This was released in 1978 and would appeal to fans of John Fahey, Leo Kottke and other guitarist’s similar in that vein. I’ve been trying to find out if Tom released any more albums but I think this is his lone effort. What a shame, [...]
Wild Man Steve – Midnight Snack
Here’s a filthy comedy record in the vein of Rudy Ray Moore, Richard Pryor and Jimmy Lynch. Equally hilarious and disgusting stuff, this is definitely not for the faint at heart. The whole album Wild Man Steve is pretty much getting down and dirty live at a nightclub with a group in the background to [...]
William Eaton – music by
The only info on this one is that it was released in 1978. No liner notes, no record label, just a beautiful handmade looking sleeve, the design on the cover appears to have been done with a magic marker. If I was asked what the record sounds like I’d have to say it sounds somewhat [...]
Windflower – s/t
After nearly a year of trying to track down this album, I finally did. Although Windflower hail from Alaska, this album was recorded in Munich, West Germany. I can’t find a date anywhere on this one but by the sounds of it, my guess is this came out in the early seventies. The playing and [...]
