Very much in the Endless Journey school of<br />heavy psych with ripping wah wah fuzz and wasted stoned vocals<br />this album is finally housed in the psych packaging it requires. The vinyl is a 10" mini album format and the CD is in a mini gatefold LP sleeve (Please note this is a short album at just over 21 minutes)<br /><br />Their music is a very violent abrasive garage punk with very psychedelic grafts. Very rare, only a few copies on acetate were released. Originally recorded in 1970, unreleased one sided acetate. Some great garage guitar psych with intense basement atmosphere and junkie lyrics, well worth checking out.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Get it <a href="http://sharebee.com/31aaa0bb">here</a> !<br />pw = http://rarestlp.blogspot.com/</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2424090136324436207-4587242788872664540?l=rarestlp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pierrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10586205225439769399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424090136324436207.post-16659503468368852222008-10-20T21:54:00.003+02:002008-10-21T00:28:12.130+02:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPziN_gzumI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_N86BDZEGxo/s1600-h/Stack.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPziN_gzumI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_N86BDZEGxo/s320/Stack.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259327194877114978" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">1969 - Stack - Above All<br />[HARD ROCK/PSYCH]<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">California Psych<br />Vinyl is 6* on POKORA<br /><br />(Variable Bitrate - Not my RIP)<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">A local Californian release and one of the rarest and probably the most significant American private press hard rock album of the era.

This lineup worked wonders from the word go and in no time were topping the local popularity polls. In '73 they were voted Best New Group, Don Harris Best Drummer and Jimi Best Guitarist, and appeared live at the New Spotlight poll winners concert in Dublin's National Stadium. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">The Leg played all over Ireland bringing their unique sound as far west as Achill Island, where they played in the legendary Wavecrest Hotel, and also appeared regularly at Donal Corvin's 'Gonzo's Rock Palace' in Moran's Hotel in Dublin, then one of the premiere rock venues in the country. The Leg also played regularly at venues throughout Northern Ireland despite the tragedy of the Miami Showband massacre where Jimi lost a good friend and possible future Leg member in that most talented and genial of Dubliners, the great Tony Geraghty. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">In late 1973, and by this time under the management of John Dee, one time member of the Irish cult band Mushroom, Peggy's Leg recorded the album 'Grinilla', a work comprising five lengthy original compositions and a version of Saber Dance largely modeled on the Dave Edmonds' Love Sculpture hit. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Grinilla was well received by critics and fans alike at the time, and although it was recorded in only a few days (23 studio hours) and with a minimum of overdubs or time to correct mistakes, still ranks as a fine work and has become a much sought after collector's item. An original copy in good condition can fetch thousands of Euros. Jimi's re-mastered and greatly improved CD version was licensed to the London-based Kissing Spell label, but is now back in the band's possession since late 2005. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">The original Peggy's Leg line-up stayed together for six months or so after the Grinilla release when Vincent Duffy decided to do his own thing. Vince was replaced after a long search by the talented Martin Biseneiks on keyboards and finally by the wonderful John Brady on bass. In 1975 Jimi decided to leave the Leg, and again under the management of John Dee, joined Brush Shiels, Nollaig Bridgeman and Timmy Creedon in the reformed Skid Row. Peggy's Leg stayed together for a few months with the brilliant Eric Bell replacing Jimi on guitar, but disbanded shortly afterwards.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">(From Jimi Slevin's website)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Get it <a href="http://sharebee.com/744c1379">here</a> !<br />pw : http://rarestlp.blogspot.com/</span></p><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2424090136324436207-8722933810944808442?l=rarestlp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pierrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10586205225439769399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424090136324436207.post-61200196419853854902008-10-20T18:00:00.005+02:002008-10-20T21:45:49.527+02:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPysyU2OEwI/AAAAAAAAABo/92h2oY3vWyM/s1600-h/Churchills+Front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPysyU2OEwI/AAAAAAAAABo/92h2oY3vWyM/s320/Churchills+Front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259268445451457282" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">1968 - Churchill's<br />[ISRAEL Psych]<br /><br />Israel's Psych<br />Vinyl is 6* on POKORA<br /><br />(128k - Not My RIP)<br /><br />The Churchills' sole album is above average for a rare psychedelic late-'60s obscurity, and an important document as the only Israeli psychedelic record to achieve even a bit of an international cult, but not as interesting as some of the buzz generated on the collector's circuit may have you believe. Heavily influenced by both West Coast psychedelia and late-'60s British hard rock, there's often a Jack Bruce-type resonance to the vocals, and a garage-Doors vibe to the guitar-organ interplay and spacy-but-somber lyrics. Sometimes they let more of a Middle Eastern element into play, as on "Subsequent Final," a mandolin tune which sounds like a psychedelic hora dance.<br /><br />One of the top 10 psych albums of all time (fact). Only released in Israel in 1968, this is an incredible psych fest with superb tripped out songs in English, amazing multi-layered, phased freaked out acid guitar solos, weird effects and exotic arabian instruments.<br /><br />Get it <a href="http://sharebee.com/7aedbfb1">here</a> !<br />pw : http://rarestlp.blogspot.com/<br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2424090136324436207-6120019641985385490?l=rarestlp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pierrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10586205225439769399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424090136324436207.post-40872612839371610022008-10-20T16:31:00.016+02:002008-10-20T21:44:56.373+02:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPyccdumkqI/AAAAAAAAABg/IvoyU_7hBHE/s1600-h/all_of_thus_front.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259250477692261026" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQwO5i2vp80/SPyccdumkqI/AAAAAAAAABg/IvoyU_7hBHE/s320/all_of_thus_front.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">1967 - All of Thus<br />[US Garage]</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">N.Y.
