Another record that remains undiscovered and is stuck in the wishlists of several collectors for a long time.
No information available about this band, just unconfirmed relations with a couple New Mexico bands (Hooterville Trolley and Xit).
Released in 1970 on Uni Records (which released also the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Druids of Stonehedge, Alexander's Timeless Bloozband, and American Blues, along with R'n'B, Neil Diamond and Elton John records), this came out in a nice gatefold sleeve (like many albums from this label).
If Magic Sand reissued today would be labeled as Xsian Blues/Psych and this would be 2/3 true (all reissues had to be labeled psych though...). In the 11 tracks of the album there are 7 blues or rhythm'n'blues numbers (some of them standards with altered lyrics), an instrumental played with fiddle which must be a traditional Irish or Scottish dance ("Magic Sand"), two folk/country tracks with nice banjo, and an exploito psychedelic track ("Get Ready To Fly"). "I Take What I Want" is a tight r'n'b with an exceptional drum part, complete with female vocals, "Baby What ... |

A bit of
classic rock, a bit of prog, a hint of psychedelia, a spirited whiff of
punk, and a whole lotta rock 'n' roll.
The
CD, called 'Teenage Folklore' and showcasing the
band's love of pure pop, punk, glam- and prog-rock and the combination
thereof, along with the confidence to get fancy with them, is pretty
impressive for a debut release. Guitar, drum loops, percussion,
keyboards, drums, bass, pretty harmonies, etc., merge smoothly, and
over the course of the album, the band repeatedly pulls out engaging
ideas. Kudos, again, to Mike Martin at the Broom Factory for an
excellent recording job; 'Teenage Folklore' sounds incredible." -
Randall Roberts, the Riverfront Times, Wednesday, September
15th, 1999
Rocket Park is a band that
sticks out like a sore thumb in any crowd. While other bands carefully
strive for genre purity and aesthetic homogeneity, Rocket Park revels
in all its messy contradictions. Bassist Dave Harris whips up the crowd
with his rock star/p... |

Noel Redding (real name David
Redding) was born on Christmas Day 1945. He first came into the public
eye when he joined The Jimi Hendrix Experience in September 1966 on
bass. At the time he was in a mid-sixties band called The Loving Kind.
He played with Lord Sutch and His Heavy Friends in the early seventies
and also with Fat Mattress before forming Road, a UK-US three-piece.

 VEBB
was composed of characters (sometimes as many as 20 at once) from some
of the greatest of the Quebec prog bands, including the Franck
Dervieux, Contraction, Toubabou, and Harmonium school (Seguin,
Laferriere, etc...). One part excellent instrumental prog, one part
big-band rock. Occasionally cheesy but often fantastic.
Read a good
review HERE.
The three parts unzip to the remastered 2CD set, extreme VBR, with cover art.

 I
wasn't actually sure where to classify this. Most tracks are in the
Northern Soul vein, yet personnel hails from other genres.
Anyway....
Fans
of Ritchie Blackmore would probably know this album. It was recorded in
1970 in De Lane Lea studios, London, and it allegedly began as a
session jam. Ritchie Blackmore, Albert Lee, Big Jim Sullivan & Tony
Ashton are among the musicians. It was produced by Derek Lawrence and
engineered by Martin Birch. The tracks are mostly in the Northern Soul
style, as I mention above, and production quality is fairly good. The
musicians are in a loose form and Blackmore doesn't really sound very
decent, since he manages to overindulge in those fast-and-tedious riff...

 Manassas (Stephen Stills) - 1972 - Manassas

"It Doesn't Matter" was released as a single and peaked at #61.
Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones plays bass on and co-authored "The Love Gangster."
Stills considers the album to be among his best work.
It is perhaps the most highly regarded of Stills' solo albums... |

 Pete Townshend - Genuine Scoop (The Ultimate Scoop Set)
Billed
as home studio recordings from 1965-1975, this set is a pretty
monumental collection of Townsend's demos. The nature of the material
makes it impossible to tell how comprehensive it is, but a quick glance
imparts that this collection very nicely supercedes a series of
releases, both underground and sanctioned. As any Who fan knows,
Townsend's home demos make for fascinating listening -- many of the
arrangements, licks, and even vocal phrasing is already present on
these rougher takes. Add to that a sort of... |

 Big Brother & The Holding Company - 1972 - Can't Go Home Again
(with Kathi McDonald on Vocals)
The
band reformed in 1969 around the same line-up (except Joplin) —- Albin,
Andrew, Getz and Gurley were joined by Nick Gravenites (vocals), Dave Schallock (guitar) and Kathi McDonald
(vocals), plus many others on occasion. This lineup lasted until 1972,
after which the band performed together only once in 15 years.
