Uh buy "Outsideinside" and then download "New! Improved!" for the Randy Holden tracks. And you can pretty much forget the rest.

I find going from Tad's Salt Lick to this back-to-back really helps explain both albums.

This Randy Holden record is getting a rerelease and I am tempted, any fans here?https://www.normanrecords.com/records/180707-randy-holden-population-ii

An incredible album. I'd had a burned CD-R copy for years, so I was thrilled when I saw Riding Easy finally got it reissued in the States with Holden's full participation. It's been bootlegged so often over the years. I've only got the CD copy, but it sounds so good. Such a killer record.

Well that's me sold, thanks! Apparently the copies Norman are selling are signed by the man himself.

Yeah I know Riding Easy did the same thing with signed LP copies. Enjoy, it's really great. Really makes you wish he hadn't taken that 20+ year hiatus from music after this one.

Population II def classic, I should probably get a copy myself

this finally arrived the other day, and it's great, thanks for the recommendation. The guitar tone is so good, even thicker than Blue Cheer, like early Sabbath, and the doomier tempos really suit that heavy sound
