It's still on sale: https://lightintheattic.net/products/there-s-a-dream-i-ve-been-saving-lee-hazlewood-industries-1966-1971I was stoked to find it used at Amoeba years ago (and paid a lot more than $30). Worth it for the book alone.

the instrumental for “beat the rap” is extremely dope, I made a vaporwave-y edit of it years ago

On a LITA tip, I dug the recent Emerson brothers biopic. Never really thought about what really happens when a long-forgotten and completely ignored record gets discovered and feted by hipsters some 30 years later.

yeah, that yen comp looks cool... but damn, vinyl is so expensive and I have a lot of that stuff already too...
speaking of things that are expensive, there's also a new-ish japanese "blu-spec CD" that collects all of the tamao koike yen stuff:https://www.discogs.com/release/29252209-Tamao-Koike-Tamao-Complete-Yen-Years
