__________________________________________________________________________________
From the internet (Popsike):
"Lonely melodic private press 1973 USA LP I've heard has pulled some
big $$ in the past...and I can see why, it is laid back but ethereal, very
homemade sounding with a weird cover of a bullet in the eyeball of the moon.
"Never Thought", "Broken Hours, Wasted Days", "Sand Castle Skies",
"Sunset Of A Dying Day" etc. type titles...sparse music with creepy vocals
that sound resigned to the problems of existence. This guy is so depressed
you can dig the LP but would not want to hang out with him, that would be no fun....
one of the better USA private LPs of loser dudes..."

Nearly impossible to find on vinyl (100 copies pressed?). Apparently he has develoved
a cult like following and a CD reissue in the Asian market.

A beautiful album.

FLYING DOGS - American Dream (USA '75 Blues Psych) NEW LINK

The Flying Dogs Of Jupiter: "American Dream" 1975, USA/Jovian JR-1213-SD. Rare private press from New Jersey sounds like mid-70s Grateful Dead, they definitely have that party atmosphere jam band pass me the bong, brother vibe. Opening track is "Don't Ease Me In", which I do believe was The Grateful Dead's opening track as well, wasn't it? Files near The Walnut Band, Max Creek, Snakegrinder, etc. Prefered track 'Open road" Write your comments

GOLIATH - SAME (USA HARD ROCK '77)

2011-11-13T10:11:00.000-08:00

On Fuzz Acid and Flowers : Goliath - Hot rock and thunder 1977 (bridge records) From Kentucky, a hard rock act heavily influenced by Deep Purple. ACID ARCHIVES : Goliath (IN) Hot Rock & Thunder 1972 (Bridges bg-2704) Progressive Hard Rock effort with standard setting plus moog. This album was quite plentiful and sold cheap for several years, but the price is finaly rising again. Virtualy all know copies have a minor edge warp.Same label as the much rarer album by dawson. I think is the same album to "GOLIATH - Hot Rock And Thunder on Bridge records. this is on Tomorrow Records (TVI-133) 1977 and i don't know what is the first press ? but if it's the second press why the B side is better !

TARANTULA

2011-11-08T08:31:00.000-08:00

Produced by Chad Stuart (of Chad & Jeremy), Tarantua were a California group strongly influenced by Zappa and jazz. Tracks like Electric Guru, Red Herring, Love Is For Peace, Peach, Fuzz And Peppermints have lots of acid organ, fuzz guitar and strange vocals and lyrics, plus various noises and onomatopeas. The single tracks are from the album.
Oz Bach had previously been in Spanky and Our Gang and then in Wings, another California group a lá Mama and The Papas who released an album for Dunhill. Thad Maxwell went on to play with country rock bands (Swampwater, Sierra) and Arlo Guthrie.

JUMP - USA HARD ROCK '71

2011-11-03T12:17:00.000-07:00

Hard pop-rock, with gruff vocals, a fat organ sound and some fine lead guitar on a strong set of songs, both rockers and ballads… At its best (which is much of it) this has a lot of appeal’ – Endless Trip

Made by a short-lived quartet who’d formed on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip in the spring of 1971, this lost progressive pop-rock gem was originally released that summer. A catchy blend of hard-edged pop and rock, with meaty guitar and organ interplay, it boasts the talents of long-term Iggy Pop and Tom Petty sideman Scott Thurston, and deserves a far wider audience than it has enjoyed thus far.

STORM - SAME (Spain Hard Rock '74)

2011-10-14T10:11:00.000-07:00

Storm

Angel Ruiz Geniz - guitars
José Torres Alcoba - bass
Luis Genil Rudrigiez - organ
Diego Ruiz Geniz - drums

Storm's first album consisted of loud, guitar-based hard-rock, strongly influenced by Deep Purple and Black Sabbath albums circa 1970-71. In my opinion their 1974 album was overshadowed by countless others from the same period, although others rate it more highly. Check it out if you love aggressive electric guitar vs. organ duels always won by the guitar player! Some of the eight tracks were instrumental.

BLOONTZ - SAME (USA HARD ROCK '73)

2011-09-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

Based in Houston, Texas and originally known as The Bloontz All Star Blues Band, the group featured the talents of drummer Tony Braunagel, singer Andy Chapman, lead guitarist David Kealey, keyboardist Mike Montgomery, and former Blackwell bassist Terry Wilson. They relocated to New York in 1972 and shortened their name to Bloontz, scoring a contract with the Evolution label. Produced by Ron Johnsen, 1973's cleverly-titled "Bloontz" wasn't half bad. Mind you, none of the nine tracks was going to win an award for originality, but in the AOR genre the songs (with three of the five members contributing material), were quite varied and the performances were virtually all enjoyable. As lead singer Chapman had a voice that was near perfect for album oriented rockers - tough, rugged, but quite commercial. Imagine Paul Rodgers had he been born and raised in Texas. The rest of the band were also quite good with guitarist Kealey deserving special notice for his tasteful solos. (RDTEN) Zenobia (choir), Tony Braunagel (drums), Andy Chapman (vocals), Jimmy Don (guitar), Margaret Dorn (choir), Mike Montgomery (keyboards), Terry Wilson (bass), Sharon Redd (choir), David L. Kealey (guitar), Steve Radney (guitar) and Lynda Lawley (choir)
