Rolling Late-60's/Early-70's Thud-Rock Thread

psychic circle is the label. the only website listed is soundlinkmusic.com, which seems to just sell radioactive, fallout and psyhic circle stuff.

uhh, forced exposure carries them.

i've always wanted that fort mudge album. and the brother fox album. third power are cool. i still want that lincoln st. exit album too. they became XIT.

i love that thunder & roses album. philly power-trio. lotsa great fuzzed out hendrix/cream rips.

i love the hook too. can't say enough good stuff about them. plus, one of them was chaki's dad!

i fucking adore that first Banchee album. so addictive. wish i could afford their second album.

the first illinois speed press album is great. highly recommended. not straight up hard rock though. a mix of folk/rock/hard rock.

eden's children rule.

t.i.m.e. had one or two good tracks per album.

i figured you'd have something to say about these, scott. i passed up the mudge album and i've regretted it ever since.

haven't heard the lincoln st. exit LP but there's a pretty cool ep i got on mysteryposter's blog.

i love the hook too. can't say enough good stuff about them. plus, one of them was chaki's dad!

wow! their song kicks ass, too.

i fucking adore that first Banchee album. so addictive. wish i could afford their second album.

i got both on one cd on lizard records. CONTEMPORIZE, MAAAAN!

i'm never buying radioactive/fallout stuff. i'm down with the ban. especially after knowing how radioactive treated george brigman. fuck them. they should be in jail. hey, if you are a fan, and you put out 200/300/500 copies of some forgotten shit on vinyl and then you are done with it, that's okay with me. you make a business out of ripping people off and do it for years? why can't anyone stop these people?

five of those groups on that comp made my decibel top 50. including road. if it's the same road. this road:

I'm late to the thread but nobody seems to have mentioned Stackwaddy yet. You can't get too much thuddier than that I think...

They were really entertaining in an utter shite kind of way. I once heard an interview where John Peel was talking about them (they were on his label Dandelion, for anyone who didn't know that part) and it was hilarious.

Apparently these lads were a bit flaky due to nearly constant drunkenness was the gist of it. Great stuff.... Someone got me into them when I became obsessed with the Dandelion label some years ago.

They finally released a comp of the label this year called Life Too, Has Surface Noise: The Complete Dandelion Records Singles Collection 1969-1972 which has some stuff I hadn't been able to track down and is up on eMusic. I wish I could have sprung for the physical product but maybe someone will get it for me for xmas. Anyway, the comp is recommended (in an OT way, i.e. not for its thuddiness) and does include both Stackwaddy singles, which in itself is a bit of a laugh. If you are looking to burn some eMusic credits, you could do far worse.

xxp: i think radioactive did stop, didn't they? i've bought stuff on radioactive since i found out they were weasels, but only used.

i've read things both way about fallout, though, and i don't know what to think. they seem to have business connections to sunbeam, who are generally recognized as legit and above board. as for psychic circle... don't know yet. they've only done comps so far.

it's all nebulous. i thought i heard that radioactive was involved with fallout.

er, this road:

http://www.geocities.co.jp/Broadway/8489/Jacket/Road.JPG

with noel redding

that's the one.

i'm pretty sure radioactive and fallout are connected somehow, btw, just don't know if their business practices are the same.

i think the fields and the yellow payges and the hook were all on uni. maybe.

the road keeps disappearing.

kinda spooky.

i was listening to uni recording artist pinkany canandy the other day. it will be awhile before i listen again.

someone should pay me to create the ultimate album cover database. that is free for anyone to steal from. every album ever will be the goal.

imagine that? with front and back covers. inserts. lyric sheets. does anyone have bill gates' number?

Yeah I picked up that 'White Lace & Strange' thing a couple weeks back... really entertaining comp. I only have the Third Power, Fort Mudge, and Eden's Children albums, so a lot of newness to me. I had heard the Illinois Speed Press album but usually pass it up when I see it in stores.

the Road track is really great! probably the standout to me .. I had no idea that Redding was in a band after Fat MAttress or that album even existed, until a few weeks ago when iamthewitch had a copy up for sale. my interest was piqued so this comp is nice timing.

I wonder how Kurt Cobain heard the Thunder and Roses track in 1987 ?? thrift store find? college radio station?

liner notes are shit .. and have a reluctant, book report-ish quality

hahahah, yeah! ... Which is funny cuz you would expect him to be all OTT and shit

I guess psychic circle is "his" label? they also put out a couple other comps .. a prog one and something else I think.

the road album came out on natural resources. a motown label. between that label and rare earth, berry gordy is my stoner rock god.

i put my fave road track on my hotheads II mix if you wanna download it:

Skot's Rolling Vinyl-To-MP3 Conversion Carnival Thread.

i have an album by corliss on natural resources, i think. not so hot folk-soul stuff.

yeah, it seems to be his deal. they've done six comps so far, all over the map. as far as mostly white music from the 60s and 70s goes, anyway.

oh... and i think two more just came out in the UK. so that's 8 comps in about six months.

dude has a lot of records. now he must share with the world. i feel kinda bad that i never got into the frond. too many records. has he ever done an album with his american counterpart brother jt? i never got into him either. too many records.

he just make mixes and post them on ilm like me.

when that decibel thing comes out i'll make a corresponding thud mix and post it here. deal? deal!

Re Stackwaddy -- There was a CD which contained everything from their two albums (s/t and Bugger Off!) except their cover of "The Girl from Ipanema." I reckon that isn't missing much. I get it out every now and then. It's a consistantly good listen if you're into their even more knuckle-dragging than the standard takes on white boy blooz and the odd Jethro Tull tune. Favorite song title: Meat Pies Have Come But the Band Ain't Here Yet.

what you said. i know i've heard some frond that was pretty good but there's just tons of cold soup there. brother jt... man, having seen him live (solo) i just don't want anything to do with his music. terrible, terrible sub-beefheart bullshit.

i was really drunk one night at a brother jt show and the crowd was going NUTS and i just couldn't understand it. it just seemed so hokey to me. like mc 900 foot jesus/detachable penis hokey.

Ha-ha. You never had to suffer through John Terlesky's I-eat-mushrooms-and-acid demo cassettes from the 80's.

New Cactus live collection on Rhino Handmade

FORTY BUCKS?! FUCK A RHINO HANDMADE.

the Toad s/t is a major jam in this vein

i always mean to put a link to this thread here, but i forget. so:

TONS of cool titles on there. LOTS of stuff I haven't heard. Definitely one of my fave interweb messageboard music threads.

Damn , that website's gonna cost me a lot of dough. Thanks!

Stonerrock.com profiled in the Voice seven years ago! How long it's been. E Pluribus Doomen.

i bought a vinyl reissue of this a long time ago and have just rediscovered the joys of a band that wanted to be cream, except faster and harder and less blues and more orchestral pomp:

i think the 2nd gun album is even better. leaner and meaner. more vicious at times. but i dig them both.

I'm guessing this little curio from Terry Manning would fit the parameters of this thread. I love his version of "guess things happen that way."

I love the cover of that Gun record. And I apparently need to get my hands on the second one.

Terry Manning, eh? Apparently the Forrest Gump of classic rock. Takes credit for Zolar X's Timeless reissue. Guess I didn't read the liner notes on that one close enough.

If you were only partly responsible for the first Point Blank album, you'll always be semi-OK in my book, sir.

huh i didn't even know about that...i don't really know anything abt gun, i just bought it cuz the cover looked can't-miss....i'll have to look for that.

Cross ref Three Man Army and later, Baker-Gurvitz Army. For latter, check if "Mad Jack" from the first LP is too your liking before proceeding further. Anthologies available for both. Have both. Like both. Proceeding from great ----> acquired taste.
