MikeZero- nice digs man, whats up with that Lyonhill?
Lyonhills is a local rock album from '77 that's been getting a little attention recently. It's pretty well written/recorded but on the more mainstream side of things. Definitely not "psychy" or "proggish"...there is a subtle rural vibe to it which is nice. Acid Archives wrote a review on this which is worth reading (and no doubt has created a little demand for it). Still pops up pretty frequently in this area...
What's up with that Hellers? Different press of the Command lp?
No, it's actually a promotional 10" album that they must have used to solicit ad work from companies/corporations. Lot's of funny, dated hippie era lingo and script writting. A classic in the ad record world...more fun for the spoken parts than the music imo...

ahhh... I've heard of that one. Hugh Heller actually ran an ad agency, I guess. they were not really a real band - just some studio project that did jingles & stuff.
My Dad has the Surfink record on his wall,as well as all others on Capital in the same genre. They are all in record frames so no listen. What kind of music is it? Plus the covers are real dope. Also, if youre not feelin it i think they go for quit a bit on Ebay.

The music is novelty surf-vocal stuff ala Jan and Dean/Fantastic Baggys style stuff from the mid 60s. I have a double CD of all the Weird-Os records output, but it is not terrific music by any stretch. I need that Surfink on my wall though! Your Pops sounds like a cool guy.

embryo w/ mariano, acqua = weird psyche, forest = flutey vertigo folk with sticks and twigs and faeries, aphrodites child best of, art ensemble, ridley on strata east, rahsaan 3 sider(?!?), hardy beauty, sly + robbie '85, marketts, albert king MONSTER and so hard to find - stoked on this one!, tarika blue nice early 70s indie jazz
fela 12" on celluloid, hey emitt had a 3rd album i had no idea, coltrane meditations 1st press mint!, damnation, splendor mod soul, free smoke rock, jack bruce classic, boyd mccoy = upstate NY white boy early 70s trying to channel james brown - sorta succeeds here and there!, Hair '79, heart of glass 12", barbara = nice french lounge pop, many have m.colombier orch/arragements, delroy wilson - what press is this? its on Dynamic DY 3324 - heavy cardboard heavy record - paste on front cover, sticker says "this album is one of the magnificent 7 for 71 from dynamics".
aretha, The Sweets 1st - i think, platoon OST, dune OST, Collage? Le Orme? on Philips, Jane+Serge classic, black rain OST (aw yeah), r.dean taylor (wtf) on rare earth, gants kinda animalsish 60s rock, cat mother, bill laswell, Etta James's 1st LP - tough one very happy to find it.
rediculous unplayed 1st pressings haul of James Brown. all of these are stone mint, serious upgrade time ova here!!!
Some more stuff. All jacketless, though. I really wish I was able to post MP3s like I used to. Some of these thrift finds lately have been killing it
??ngel Canales "Live at Roseland" (TR)...live Puerto Rican salsa
Pari Zanganeh LP from 1976...I forgot the exact title and label since I'm at work. Record pressed in Iran by a blind, Persian female folk singer. The musical orchestration is influenced by American pop/rock.
Los Apaches (Discesa)...Again, the exact album title escapes me at the moment. A couple of winners here: a wah-wah organ based version of "Green Eyed Lady" and a funky fuzz rock tune. Los Angeles based.

Is that a later West Coast Pop Art record? Is it cool?
