    From the East Coast originally, was in the same band as a young Jimmy Garrison and wrote compositions for Lee Morgan. Moved to LA later and was a sideman on at least one Black Jazz LP. As well as the 'Captain Puff' LP there exists an incredible 45 on Viscojon which is similar to the music contained on the LP, perhaps even better (and rarer?) IMO. Marshall died in the 90s. Was also the grandfather of NBA's Richard Jefferson (Milwaukee Bucks).

    I lived at 2228 Cambridge Street, Los Angeles Mid-City 90006 Califunkyfornia for about 8 or nine years. Owen Marshal was living four doors down when he made this record (check the Aditi address ont he back of the record, and on the back you can see him sitting butt naked at a fender rhodes playing the flute). The original record came sealed with a calender for 1976 with him posing nude for your viewing pleasure. He is sitting in the upstairs room in front of the window which faces out on Cambridge. I had a few of these copies and traded and sold them for about 100$. Shows what i know. b, 21b, 21I tried to break into the back house garage when i was living there and totally freaked out the korean people that were living there. I was just sure he left some vinyl behind. Never got any but if you check out Cut Chemists album you can hear him and i doing a field recording at that location. b, 21b, 21An interesting side-note is that Jimmy Jewel lived around the corner at the same time this was being made. He was working on the dynamic soul society record at about the same time. Two records made within a block radius of each other in two years, and then 15 years later I record four albums at an address smack in between them. There is also a Frank Lloyd Wright house on that block too. b, 21b, 21Down the street from Cambridge street was the Bem-Sole headquarters, and around the corner off Washington was where the Marvin Gaye family house was and where he passed away. b, 21b, 21Big music neighborhood.

    Thes - that story you told me (this is Andrew in LB) about finding the Owen LP and then cut recording ambient noise cracked me up. b, 21b, 21This isn't an end to end burner... it's a weird little record that I'm surprised has garnered this much interest. A G for this is crazy. I'd like a copy but this is nutso. b, 21b, 21Good call by Rodney on getting that $$$!

    This whole thread is the embodiment of "knowledge dropped." b, 21b, 21Kudos! (And congrats to Rodney for netting some nice $ on that last round of auctions. I wanted that "Please" LP bad but I just couldn't bring myself to go higher than what I did).

    b, 21b, 21I'm really interested in the promotional calendar. It sounds too good to be true.

    Hawaiian dude RogB posted the whole album in this thread two years ago and also included a track from it in his ISH. b, 21I've listened to it quite a bit. Cool album. I think it's a solid end-to-end listen (even the new agey parts), but I think I'll pass on the $1000 price tag.b, 21b, 21Here is a re-up of the album rip:b, 21DivShare File - The Naked Truth.zipb, 21b, 21Somebody sampled "Peanut Butter Ice Cream Man", but I can't remember who.
