LYDIA TAYLOR AND MODERN ROMANCE - st LP 81 w TLTB - BITCH LP 83


 This release has all the best with new wave first album, more rocker second album and a frontwoman with lots of personality.  Thanks for the request!  There were a lot of 'bitch' tunes starting with the Stones back then--we even used one for a guy at school that goes, "the bitch is back and she's chasin' Dulac' was his name.  Actually hope to see that guy at our 35th High School reunion this summer...turns out another friend took a skateboarding break on a long board during his truck route down South and got in a hit and run so we tried to help him with donations on facebook but Dulac went down there to drive his truck back up so he could get paid for his route...DULAC is a true champion!  Yeah, oops what was I talking about, well you know what to do, enjoy!     https://gofile.io/d/Ivh9ps

THE NIELSON PEARSON BAND - st LP 78


 O.K. all these silly 'soft rock' requests have occasional clunkers but this one takes the cake as a great example of the genre.  I seem to get more 'humor' from what they do but all are very skilled.

 Another excellent request that I got for somebody....hope you enjoy it!

TOM SCOTT AND THE L.A. EXPRESS - st LP 74 w Tom Cat LP 75 w New York Connection 75 w Street Beat LP 79

Billy Preston - That's The Way God Planned It LP 69 w I Wrote A Simple Song LP 71 w Music Is My Life LP 72 w Everybody Likes Some Kind Of Music LP 73 w It's My Pleasure LP 75 w st LP 76 w SYREETA Music From Fastbreak LP 79 w Late At Night LP 79 w The Way I Am LP 81


 REPOST and ADD ON:  Added the top key three vital releases to my previous post.  I first heard this Philly artist for $0.25 with the 71 album and enjoyed the 'Outta Space' tune on it and enough other tunes to seek him out over the years.  Didn't know he did two albums for Apple records but I do have the first one here.  Also played with Stones and Beatles of course.    https://gofile.io/d/tJRndO  

John B. Sebastian - st LP 70 w Real Live LP 71 w The Four Of Us LP 71


 REPOST and ADD ON:  Found more albums by John at Goodwill but turns out two were the same self titled one from 1970 (as shown) in middle above.  Goes nicely with my little Woodstock appreciation posts this week as last week  I saw the "Lost Performances" VHS from 1990 and he did a great show!

BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY - st LP 67 w Cheap Thrills LP 68

JANIS JOPLIN - I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! LP 69 w Pearl tape 71 w JANIS Motion Picture Sountrack 2LP 72 75 w 18 Essential Songs CD 95


 Since I finally got to see her Woodstock performance while stream capturing the VHS last week, I decided to post what I got from good old Janis.  She was my nearest in age, oldest sister's all-time favorite artist.  I also dug the Tim Hardin and Melanie performances too.  Well, I might as well post the three VHS movies as well.  Look above for her first band after training with Roky Erickson and the Thirteenth Floor Elevators in Austin, TX.  During my heavy partying days back in MN, I met someone at a party who met her during her time in Uptown, MN.           https://gofile.io/d/P8ZPVD

 REPOST and ADD ON:  Added the bottom two as you may have guessed.  She does a Blondie style very early rap song on the Portrait album on the bottom.   https://gofile.io/d/ETfDy7     

Gleaming Spires - Songs Of The Spires LP 81 w Life Out On The Lawn EP 82 w Walk On Well Lighted Streets LP 83 w Party EP 84 w Welcoming A New Ice Age LP 85


 REPOST Request:  Always dig Posh Boy artists however per Mike from Agent Orange they got screwed by the label.  At any rate, two members of this band played in the 80's (short period) SPARKS.

OFF BROADWAY - ON LP 79 w Quick Turns LP 80 w Bad Indication boot CD


 REPOST Request:  Takes me back to fourth grade rollerskating rink days with bands like the Hawks, PEZBAND, the Kind, the Sweet or the Rollers, etc. but I got recommended this band by a collector at our local show who said their song, "Full Moon Turn My Head Around" is the perfect song in every way and indeed we have a few versions here to choose from.  AKA the Thumbs.

Stu Daye - Free Parking LP 76


 REPOST Request:  Interesting tune 'The Boxer' which predates the Big Country (band) sound by a decade or so.  From New York.               https://gofile.io/d/7qO5eW

 The perfect introduction to this band that I decided not to collect years and years ago.
