Once again, I have an acetate with no artist listed but this has a date of 3/59 or March 1959. The sound quality is not the best here but this is probably the only copy that exists. There is just one man singing & playing solo electric guitar with a sound that is somewhere in between early rock & folk. Click here to listen.
If there's one word to describe what's happening at The Holiday Inn it's F-U-N. It's hard to pin down the chemistry that accounts for the success of this group but each member makes a unique contribution. The unique ability and personalities of these four members puts together an explosive sound that is hard to capture on record. They hope you enjoy a few select tunes that they've chosen for you and join the hundreds of people who have listened with amazement to The New Pastels. (Summary of cover notes)
I have never been able to find any info on this record. I just did a Google search and the only thing that comes up is an old Ebay listing. Two interesting instrumentals, nothing extraordinary. I think it was released in or about 1966. Click here to listen.
Not quite as obscure as most of the music posted here, I found this great funky jazz single in the same box as the Watts Little Angel Band so I figured I would post it for those who have never heard it. Up Above The Rock has been sampled by several artists including Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo - On The Run.
According to online sources I referred to, this is a funk record or as one called it raw primitive funk. I suppose either one of those could be correct, I am not sure what genre this one truly belongs to but it does have elements of funk. Click here to listen.
