  • Hall & Reasons - Spaceship Hall & Reasons - Spaceship

    As unearthing previously overlooked privately pressed LPs becomes increasingly en vogue, collectors often fall prey to something akin to “needle-drop” syndrome. It’s too often tempting to evaluate a new acquisition with a hasty, if not faulty ear. While this sometimes works unduly in a record’s favor (for example, see the inexplicable fawning over Boscoe by […]

  • Hear And Now: For The First Time (Terry) Hear And Now: For The First Time (Terry)

    Great California group (I’m assuming) doing covers of Rock, Country, and Gospel tunes. Rocking covers of Hoyt Axton’s “Put Your Hand in the Hand”, and “Joy to the World”, Mason Williams’ “Classical Gas”, CCR’s “Proud Mary”, and Riz Ortolani’s “More” are just some of the great tracks on here. Awesome looking cover and I think […]

  • The Cake - a slice of The Cake - a slice of

    Here’s a favorite of mine by the femme soft psych trio The Cake. To my knowledge they have two albums, their other lp is more on the motown girl group side of things, this lp is all over the place. It varies from baroque pop to haunting folk/psych on my favorite track “under the tree […]

  • Kenneth Higney - Attic Demonstration Kenneth Higney - Attic Demonstration

    A tough one to write about because so much has already been said about it. First, though, I will say that if you have even the slightest interest in “outsider music” BUY THE CD REISSUE! Cause it is definitely all that.

  • The Yellow Balloon - s/t 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.

  • Dane Sturgeon - Wild 'n' Tender Dane Sturgeon - Wild ‘n’ Tender

    Another private press favorite from my fair state of California. And yet another record that Will Louviere’s Show And Tell site put me up on. This is a hard one to classify. It’s definitely raw enough to appeal to garage rock enthusiasts, yet it lacks the naive quality of most records of that genre.
