BOYCE & HART – It’s All Happening on the Inside – (A&M) – 1969

THE ROWANS – The Rowans – (Asylum) – 1975

CLEAR LIGHT – Clear Light – (Elektra) – 1967

I’ve said it before and I will say it again I will give anything on the Elektra label from the 60s and early 70s a go. Clear light seem to have some musical credibility (or collectability) despite their small output … Continue reading

PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS – A Christmas Present …. And Past – (Columbia) – 1967

It’s Christmas time so …I pulled this Christmas record out. I knew this album wasn’t a selection of traditional Christmas songs but I wasn’t expecting this. A total spinout album. This album comes after a major line-up shuffle in early … Continue reading

Now this is obscure. I bought this because it was a US pressing and $1. I was expecting jazz rock. I'm not sure why, maybe it's their dress. What is known and none of this is certain is that the … Continue reading

FRIENDSOUND – Joyride – (RCA) – 1969

This album I have had since the 1980s. I listened to it a few times and (kind of) liked it but eventually (in a rationalisation period) put it into a possible "to go" pile. That pile still exists but the … Continue reading
