Robbie Basho - Live At St. Marys College Of California, 1976
updated
Dandelion Records 2310-146
Original UK press
Recorded June-July 1971.
By far my favorite record by this Dutch group. Unlike their own Dutch pressing on Polydor, this UK issue on Dandelion Records includes their first single, She Was Naked, opening side A. The rare and cheeky sticker on the front cover alludes to this track. There is some fantastic music on this disc, especially within the longer suites. Enjoy!
Tracklist:
Side A
00:00 - She Was Naked
03:48 - A Girl Named You
14:00 - No Tree Will Grow (On Too High A Mountain)
Side B
21:41 - Energy (Out Of Future)
36:41 - Higher
ABC Records ABCS-623
Recorded on November 29th, 1967.
Fuzz Bass, The Album.
Seriously underrated psychedelic debut album by San Francisco group Salvation. They began as the New Salvation Army Banned, but were forced to shorten to just Salvation due to a threatened lawsuit by the actual Salvation Army.
Think Twice and She Said Yeah are two killer, standout tracks that are mandatory listening for any fan of west coast psychedelic rock.
Tracklist:
Side A
00:00 - Love Comes In Funny Packages
02:54 - Cinderella
05:46 - More Than It Seems
09:09 - Getting My Hat
13:16 - G.I. Joe
Side B
17:56 - Think Twice
25:06 - She Said Yeah
28:52 - The Village Shuck
31:16 - What Does An Indian Look Like?
***I just realized I forgot to include the label scans of this record, my bad. Not gonna make a whole new video for just that, so go look at the discogs page for the record if absolutely necessary.
Enjoy!
Extra props to the drummer here
This B side is a smooth and cool cover; the original song was created by Jim Burgett in 1963.
Chrysalis ILPS 9153
The serene debut album by this Irish folk duo; one of my favorites from the genre. Dance Of Years has some of the most beautiful guitar playing I've ever heard. As you may notice, my copy of this LP has been played quite a lot.
Thank you to Sonny Condell and Leo O'Kelly.

They consisted of Dave Williams (bass), Patrick Rockhill (bass), Bill Reid (drums), Mitch Watkins (guitar), Billy "Skid" Rowe (guitar), and Lee Manley (drums).
The main guy here, Dave Williams, began his musical career in 1965 with his band The Headstones, also from McAllen TX. They released two singles in 1966 on the collectable Pharaoh label. After a long jail sentence for a small amount of marijuana, Dave formed SEOMPI in 1970, and the group recorded arguably the heaviest material of the Texas psych scene.

Community Records C-3200 (promo)
They managed to fit their 6+ minute album version of this track onto the B side of this sole 45. It was mastered much quieter than the DJ edit on the flip. This is one of my all time favorite tracks.
Enjoy~

MIJ aka Jim Holmberg recorded this album in 3 hours on January 12th, 1969. An album like none other.
Years ago MIJ showed up out of nowhere on RateYourMusic to review his own album, and it's easily the best review on the entire site. I highly recommend you check that out under the entry for this album.

Fantastic Russian-themed freakout in this one
I'd appreciate it if someone could drop more knowledge in the comments!
I easily prefer this insane cover to the original. A true punk gem.
Crazy awesome cover of Hey Joe on this ultra rare acetate on Damon Records.
This one is a real mover. The band nailed it on their first and only 45.
This rippin garage 45 is one of the best ever.
Early garage gem from 1965.
Cool treated organ in this track.

This flaming pile of garbage of a website has seemingly turned some of my previous uploads into youtube shorts... for some unknown IQ-deficient reason.
If this VIDEO is uploaded as a youtube short, I am sorry, but it's beyond my control.
May God save us all from the management of this site.

This is the A side of The Five Canadians' first single, a mediocre cover of HOTRS with "orchestral accompanyment]" of Classie Ballou & The Orlando's.
Uploaded because I can't find it anywhere else.
Nice guitar in this one
Takoma C-1005 (1967 reissue)
Robbie's debut album on John Fahey's own Takoma Records.
The origin of a completely unique (and primitive) style of acoustic guitar music, induced by Robbie's vast appreciation of stringed instrument music from a variety of different countries and cultures.
Enjoy.
Tracklist:
00:00 - The Seal Of The Blue Lotus
07:39 - Mountain Man's Farewell
16:18 - Dravidian Sunday
22:44 - Bardo Blues
30:11 - Sansara in Sweetness After Sandstorm
36:20 - Black Lotus (Hymn to Fugen)
Scepter Records - SPS-542
Mike Condello's heavily underrated pop/psych opus released in November of 1968. There are some really memorable and addictive tracks in this slab. The production isn't the greatest (Mike produced it himself), but the psychedelic constitution of this album more than makes up for it.
Enjoy!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Crystal Clear
03:35 - On No
06:22 - Guess I Better Go
09:05 - Charming Sitter
11:53 - All You Need
16:04 - Keep It Inside
19:20 - Doctor Tarr Professor Fether
22:14 - The Other Side Of You
26:35 - See What Tomorrow Brings
30:11 - He'll Keep Waiting
32:46 - It Don't Matter
RIP Mike Condello
The back cover on USA Garage Greats states this was released on the "Aspa" label, but I can't find any info on that label or the group itself. There was a band from Nashville, TN known as Ravin Blue, but I'm pretty sure this is a separate group. Any info is appreciated!
ESP Disk ESP-1054 (1968 stereo reissue)
Initially released June of 1967.
This album is one of a kind. Ballad To An Amber Lady never fails to send me into a meditative state. Uncle John is a visceral and addictive anti-Vietnam anthem. One Nation Underground will grow on you if you let it into your soul.
Yet another gem from the legendary ESP-Disk catalog.
RIP Tom Rapp
Enjoy.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Another Time
03:13 - Playmate
05:31 - Ballad To An Amber Lady
