Canadian Conspiracy [197x]

7 piece lounge act - material is ALL over the map from funky wah-wah horn rock "are you man enough" to pop covers "cherish" & "macarthur park" to highlight Slade cover "goodbye to jane" that rocks!! wicked primitive DIY cut & paste psych/strange cover art. [WL]

Bob Mitchell [197x] Really Live!

"really live"...insane vanity album from the sex-positive 70's produced by bob mitchell (sort of a junior mint larry flint) who i believe went on to run one of the most successful whore houses in reno. 100% pure, seedy lounge "performance" with dirty songs, skits, etc and reminds me of that rad Chinese Bookie movie. recorded live at the palomino club in las vegas. great nude pics f&b! [WL]

Marquee Revue [197x] Live

OK, you lounge rock band collectors know there are many greats, the ones where it is a hippie rock band doing the sleazy lounge circuit even though they are droppin' acid and this is ONE OF THE BEST...gotta give props to the unknown heroes of rock then who had to slog it out in a loser lounge band, here they SHINE...full length version of "Sympathy For The Devil" (Stones), killer "Funk 49" (James Gang), hot "Carry On" (Crosby, Stills & Nash)", strong "Evil Ways" (Santana), well, for the lounge garage private press LPs this is a standout and it even has a generic Sundial cover!! Blank on back! Ex/Ex circa maybe '71??. There is a label name Pacific Avenue # 447. TOP SHELF for lounge garage rock hippie style!! [PM]

Linda Lou and the Three For All [197x]

you can imagine my eyes lighting up last week in texas when i ran across this one. somehow i knew this little lady would rock the house and although this ain't no lounge killer, she came through in spades. in a countrified oklahoma rockabilly style no less on tunes like "unchain my heart", "bobby mcgee" and "kansas city". you'll hear the softer side of little linda on "what are you doing the rest of your life", "until it's time for you to go" (she sings 7 songs total). one of the funnest vanity LP cover art portaits i've laid eyes on and i've never, EVER seen or heard of this album. [WL]

Radiant Set [197x] Live

One of the best USA private press LP albums to my ears that is in the hybrid lounge/rock vibes...they do Free Design-Kites Are Fun along with way out version of Beatles "Come Together" and killer "Don't Snow Me In". "Nights In White Satin" etc...this LP is genius for the garage lounge rock vibe & very rare. One of the total top best USA LPs in this sound & very rare, I have only ever seen two copies!! And this is a sound I am very much into myself.... [PM]

Trilogy [197x] Two Sides of the Trilogy

This amazing LP is regarded as a 'holy grail' item for those collecting private press lounge LPs...a truly unique and great one, too! The best tracks "Slow Hot Wind" and "Agua De Beber" are utterly spooky female vocal bossa-nova style ethereal music that sound 'psych' naturally...mesmerizing & otherworldly. Also this trio does a flipped out "Lucretia Mac Evil", a fab softrock "Lazy Day", a version of Emerson Lake & Palmer "Trilogy" and others. Great cover design with them in bar on front & in ocean on back. I've only ever had 3 copies in 20 years, private issue on Strange Productions # T-101 from around 1971 or '72. Top level for this zone of lost lounge monsters! Hardly ever turns up, tiny pressing from FLA. Wow!! [PM]

The Muzzy Band [197x] How Was It?

As this LP is from New Jersey it is long known to me & a few local friends and the last loose copy I had blew a mind bigtime...here's copy I got at the last WFMU Record Fair & 3rd I've had in 20 years...absolutely top (maybe THE TOP) crazy lounge rock act ever. Opens with ultra cryptic verbage by Muzzy (DEEP) then rips into version of "I've Got The Music In Me" that is unbelievable, wild with fuzz, gutsy vocals by Rosemarie & to take the cake they do a jam where she trades off utterly drunken scat singing with the fuzz guitar player riffing in response (or vica versa, actually,,,she sounds too loaded to be in control). Rest of LP is also total entertainment in genius sleazy Jersey bar mode. One look at Muzzy's pic on the cover and you know you're hearing a maniac. ONLY those into real people twisted sleazy lost weekends should go for this... [PM]
