Yep, we’re still here and still getting in some great stuff for you guys! And don’t worry, me and Patrick are properly quarantined, along with our assistants Peter and Ryan, who are also quarantined, so we’re not taking any chances (Mailorder is exempt from closure, luckily). Los Angeles is a ghost town but the mail is running and the shipments are arriving, so we can get you just what you need to hunker in the bunker. By the time the next Shindig hits the streets we’ll be out of this mess! Wont be long now, and meanwhile some fabulous tunes and reading material to get you thru it.

This weekend we have the new SHINDIG and some excellent imports, both new arrivals and restocks of things we sold out of quickly last time that you might have missed out on.

And have some fun surfing our site while you’re passing the time, you can type any genre of music into our search and get hundreds of hits. PSYCH gets you about 900 titles, GARAGE gets you 700, and of course we have the subsections for price... over 400 $5 and under items and 700 under $10!! That will keep you amused.

And maybe delve into the ALIVE site. You can hear hear some songs and play some videos and see what’s coming up… you’ll love the new BOBBY LEES record, produced by the legendary JON SPENCER! “The Bobby Lees are a young bone-shaking Garage Rock band out of Woodstock NY. Their new record “Skin Suit” is produced by underground punk legend Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion, and mixes classic garage-punk hits with raw and emotive storytelling.”

And a new one by our boys THE DIRTY STREETS too! “This rough and tumble recording captures the high-energy power trio Dirty Streets live on Ditty TV, in Memphis, Tennessee. This is heavy, bluesy rock’n’roll played with heart. Crank up the volume and let it rip!”

Take care of yourselves guys, it will be over soon!

SWEDISH FINNISH- ST(Guitar pop)Label:GREEN MONKEY The key to the Swedish Finnish pop magic are hooks that earworm their way into your brain, making them instantly memorable.

Rex; 'Don't Do Anything (I Wouldn't Do)' is like a long-lost Ronettes song (with the boys doing the singing).

TRUTH AND JANEY-Topeka Jam (70s midwest power trio Psych)Label:ROCKADROME RECORDS (USA) Excavated from the archives of a long-time roadie and brought back from the brink of disintegration comes this collection of live recordings made over several nights in Topeka, Kansas circa 1974. The celebrated Iowa hard rock trio is captured here in raw form doing what they did best, stretching out into extended jam sessions featuring heavy guitar action from Billylee Janey, booming fuzz bass from Steve Bock, and Denis Bunce locked in the zone behind his drum kit. "Midnight Horsemen," originally released as a 3-minute single in 1972, is featured here as a 22-minute jam and is a prime example of vintage Truth and Janey. Also included are several previously unreleased songs which have not been heard in over 40 years, as well as early versions of "Down the Road" and "My Mind," from their 1976 underground hard rock classic debut album, "No Rest for the Wicked."

LOCOMOTIVE- WE ARE EVERYTHING YOU SEE(mix of late 1960s British psych and early prog)Label:MAGIC BOX This edition on 140-GRAM VINYL includes an insert offering photos and info.Wonderful mix of late 1960s British psychedelia and early progressive rock. Locomotive were one of the finest bands to inhabit the West Midlands music scene of the later 1960s. Fronted by keyboardist Norman Haines (previously of the Brum Beats) Locomotive recorded a handful of great singles and one acclaimed (though largely ignored) album before disbanding in 1970. The group was managed by local jazz trumpet player Jim Simpson who was also part of the original line-up. He also managed a number of other local groups - most notably Black Sabbath. Produced by Gus Dudgeon (renowned for his work with David Bowie and Elton John) and originally released in 1969, this early UK progressive rock classic is finally available again on LP. Based in Birmingham, Locomotive was led by the legendary Norman Haines. LP $22 SKU:22816


PANCAKES -VOLCANIC FROG ISLAND (+CD) (60s style catchy psych/rock/acid/surf!)
-Label:KERNTONSCHALL LP including CD, limited to 500 handnumbered copies. 'Volcanic Frog Island' is a 10 track album with 1 bonus track on the CD. 'Spanish Surf' is a decent rocker, the best part being the rousing jam at the end. 'Duggyman' is a cool, quirky song, with excellent guitar fills. "Duggymaaaan, inside my mind, Duggymaaaan, inside my head". 'Break It Away' is a killer groove rocker, and in the middle Rainer goes acid ballistic on guitar while an efxd voice. I can't quite make it out but sounds like it's talking about flying saucers in the forest. 'Living In The City' and 'Take The Bus' are both characterized by funk, soul, and psychedelic swing. 'The Sun' is a catchy psych rocker with a really cool '60s pop melody and a monster heavy psych guitar solo. If The Pancakes ever considered a single, this would be the one. 'Aladin' is another '60s styled song, with bits of surf and a fun, quirky main melody. I'd make this the B-side to 'The Sun'. LP $25 SKU:22817

GENE CLARK & THE GOSDIN BROTHERS-ST (1967 stellar Byrds style) Label:FLOATING WORLD The first album that Gene Clark released after his departure from the Byrds followed very closely on the model of his earlier efforts on the Byrds' first two albums. His backing musicians included ex-bandmates Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke, as well as future Byrd Clarence White and Clark collaborator Doug Dillard, not to mention the Gosdin Brothers, whose harmonies resembled a rockier Everly Brothers and brought the sound very close to that of the Byrds. The album contains a number of fine pop-oriented tunes and stellar folk-rock/country-rock numbers (a year before the Byrds’ "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," which employed both White and Dillard) and established Clark as a major songwriter, rivaling his old band and often coming close to the fabness of the Beatles. Still, despite such solid songs and backing musicians, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers failed to make much of an impact, perhaps due to its being released in the same week as the Byrds' "Younger Than Yesterday," itself a tour de force that cemented their influence. However, in the realm of Clark's recorded output, this album stands as one of the best, if not the best, example of how powerful a singer, writer, and bandleader he was. "You have the arrangements by Leon Russel, excellent backing vocals by the Gosdin brothers, fabulous guitars by Clarence White and Glen Campbell, and, of course, one of the greatest voices of his generation, Gene Clark. What else could you ask for?" CD $10 SKU:22187

EMBER POP 69-74- VA Rainy Day Mind (60s) Label:FANTASTIC VOYAGE Rainy Day Mind” is the first of two volumes surveying Ember’s pop repertoire from 1969 until the label’s demise at the end of the seventies. It comprises 21 tracks by artists ranging from obscure American singer Polly Niles to the internationally famous P J Proby, as well as ill-fated actor Alan Lake, Irish vocalist Lee Lynch, French pop star Black Swan and fuzz guitar-toting soul band Milt Matthews Inc. A clutch of projects including The Good Vibrations, The Good Ship Lollipop and Rusty Harness came to Ember courtesy of producer Mike Berry. The founding of US outlet Paramount-Ember in 1974, headed by music business veteran John Madara, brought albums by Denny Doherty (formerly of The Mamas And The Papas) and British all-girl glam rockers Mother Trucker into the fold. What these disparate sources all offer are fine performances of strong songs. Nor is there any shortage of collectables, topped by Davey Payne & The Medium Wave’s ‘A Walk In The Sunshine,’ which commands £50, and Blue Beard’s eponymous album, which only reached test pressing stage (£200), from which we have salvaged ‘Baby I Need You.’ Nice shrink-wrapped slip-case packaging COMP CD $6 SKU:16376

LEVEE CAMP MOAN-ST (1969 blues based rock)-Label:SOMMER This is the first, legitimate vinyl reissue of this extraordinarily rare album. Includes insert with rare photos and full band history by Pete Sarfas.In 1969 Bracknell based blues rock outfit Levee Camp Moan released what was destined to become one of the most sought after UK private pressings of the period. Issued on the County Recording Services label (SVVS 132), a small run of discs was pressed up and sold locally at gigs as well as being handed out to friends. Housed in an obligatory custom built sleeve that had a snapshot of the group pasted onto the front, this LP marked out their status as one of the most exciting bands to emerge out of the thriving local underground scene in the Bracknell Delta. The group had taken their name from the old blues number and the band members, manager and assorted roadies took up residence in a local farmhouse known as Peacock Farm. It was there that LCM would rehearse into the small hours thumping out a mixture of blues standards as well as their own compositions until they had become a tight unit ready to 'take on the world'. Influences ranged from the urban blues of Otis Rush, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells to Muddy Waters, Skip James and beyond. The more or less contemporary white blues of the time, Canned Heat, Savoy Brown and Paul Butterfield also served as a major source of inspiration. From their humble roots LCM quickly built up a following on the British Blues circuit, frequenting the likes of the Marquee, Crawdaddy, Klooks Kleek, Eel Pie Island and Rikki Tik club. On the college circuit they toured extensively with Chickenshack, Canned Heat and Muddy Waters with performances being of a high enough standard to generate record company interest. Unable to secure a record deal, they had no other choice but to do it themselves. And so it was in the winter months of early '69 that LCM entered Virgin Sound in nearby Windsor to lay down eight tracks recorded on a four track machine. At the time of its creation the term private pressing would have had little or no relevance in musical circles and the significant thing to remember is that in such cases there is no record company interference and what the band was able to produce under these conditions was the archetypal private pressing, raw, under produced and thrillingly primitive. The project successfully captured the spirit and aggression of an exciting new band and the original artefact is now a zeitgeist of that remarkable era. After Levee Camp Moan, Ian Campbell went on to carve out a busy musical career performing with, amongst many others, the Nashville Teens, Arthur Brown's band and Mungo Jerry. Bassist Dave Stubbs played with a host of notables including gigs in Eric Clapton's band and lengthy tours with Uli Jon Roth (ex Scorpions). This is the first, legitimate vinyl reissue of this extraordinarily rare album. Includes insert with rare photos and full band history by Pete Sarfas. LP $25 SKU:22686


POETS (ITALY)-SURREALISTIC RAIN(60s pop style)Label:TEEN SOUND Strongly influenced by pop icons as the Beatles and lots of other 60s band without copying them.

Simple but great songs by young, unknown poets, songs about stolen moments, little girls, shy loves and leaves lying on a car. LP $19 SKU:22548


RAIN- 1971 The Lost Album-Label:JARGON The Lost Album, a collection of original songs that the band recorded in the summer of 1971, was originally planned to be a follow up to their first record, RAIN-Live Christmas Night, which came out on the band's label, Whazoo Records, in early 1971.

SAINT ANTHONY'S FYRE-ST(legendary 70s Acid ARchives FAVE!) Label:ZONK , Acid Archives, says this about it: “This legendary private press is rated as one of the ultimate local basement hard rock blowouts by many connoisseurs.
