Here are 13 mostly sealed original first pressings private presses from 70’s -80’s… All of these have a high price tag individually. CARL ERDMANN “BIZARROPHYTES” U. PRIVATE 1981 SEALED? Trancey sitar by carl with some terrific melodic sounds. KEVIN VICALVI “VOICES DOWN THE HALL”U. Private 1974 SEALED W LYRIC FOLDOVER, STICKER AND POST CARD. This is stellar mid-70’s loner folkrock in the vein of Richard Soutar and some Tim Buckley, with vocals closer to Soutar. Title track will stay in yer head for days, nice warm analog sound, with instrumentations almost veering into a’real people’ sound, just a slight bit more’pro’. “Old Richard” is also killer, jazzing it up a bit, kind of sounding like some of those early Steely Dan demos. The whole album is just totally groovy, and anyone into the late 60’s to mid 1970’s private press scene will totally dig on these mellow rockers. NEWS “HOT OFF THE PRESS” (PRIVATE PRESS) 1974 SEALED ORIGINAL. The style of the album is a mix of Classic Rock, Pop Rock, and Psychedelic with influences from Rock, Country Rock, and Folk. The album was manufactured in the United States and is a must-have for collectors of vintage vinyl records. Recorded at the same studio as the legendary D. This 1974 vinyl LP and the real treat here are the ten original songs are melodically inspired psych pop rock whose overall sound is unmistakably mid-seventies. SYN “CAST THE FIRST STONE” (PRIVATE PRESS) 1980 SEALED ORIGINAL. Rare album of the underground US Prog scene, this Syn, from Pennsylvania, operated with a five-piece core of multi-instrumentalists Marc and Phillip Britton, lead female singer/guitarist Gloria Giarrusso, keyboardist/violinist Duane Loeper and drummer Randy Paxson. Through the liner notes it seems they were active already from the 70’s, but”Cast the first stone’is the only document they left behind. The music here is so flexible and varied you’ll NEVER get bored. Basic rock instrumentation with lots of keyboards and piano and occasional flourishes of sax, flute and violin in a semi-Prog, semi-Pomp Rock, semi-Art Rock contenxt. A really fantastic, overlooked Prog album. Elements of US Prog like Kansas-like pounding rhythms and Hard Rock vibes, Sunblind Lion-like melodramatic arrangements with standard Rock components and the effortless influence by Classic acts like Genesis on the Moog synth leads. Strong songwriting, some beautiful atmospheres, nice interplays, And a great cover too for an overall pretty solid package of music and illustration. SHADOW FOX “SAME” (PRIVATE PRESS) 1982 SEALED ORIGINAL. Very Good Hard Rockin’ Southern Rock Sounds with songs like “ROADIE”, “MUSICIANS SONG”, “ROCKIN’ PARTY” AND MORE… SORT OF REMINDS ME OF ALBATROSS… STUART SCHARF “The Disguises album”(PRIVATE PRESS) 1975 M-/M. Very rare fragile folk rock album with an appearance by Roberta Flack This was always super rare until someone fell into a small batch of them(ME), they are gone now so rare again… OUT OF TIME “OUT OF TIME”(PRIVATE PRESS)1988 SEALED ORIGINAL. This lp sounds like it was released 20 years before it was. Elements of garage and hard rock abound.. WINGED STALLION “Journeys Long” (PRIVATE PRESS) 1984 SEALED ORIGINAL. Winged Stallion was a band of musicians based in California who operated in a’back in time’ mode of mid-late 1970’s hippie era westcoast-vibed music, adding in current early 1980’s rock sensibilities. You get both male and female vocals. They rock out well on “Bandolero”, provide a shimmering folk rock angles on LP opener “Caught Between The Phases” and venture into country rock on a couple of tunes, which for me are the losers (“Just Being Here” and “Hard Road To Glory”). The title song has great female vocals with brass work. Great Christian oriented rock album with cool title cut plus “One Way Out” and many more… GREENWOOD “Remember the Promise” U. Private 1976 sealed what’s cool about this secular album is that there are quite a few good originals whcih is odd for this type of record…. Husband/wife team w two others… Private1981 Great wasted hard rocker from Washington state. This is a real good lp throughout. “Let me play my music” and “Fire in my Soul”.. 4 piece band that takes no prisoners.. Small 500 pressing way back when. JOHN SOUTHERN “EQUINOX” U. PRIVATE 1975 SEALED ORIGINAL Housed in a striking thick album jacket, this little known private rural folk debut is an outsider real people record. There s a nifty fuzz guitar breakout in My Place In The Woods? On The Isle Of You has a fuller sound and moves into a commercial rock oriented direction instrumental John-Hooley is an interesting short interlude to the proceedings – Psych moves present in Not So Long Ago with backward guitar sound arrangements and closer lat Grass Plains Of Oklahoma has an organ arrangement that adds to an overall solid mid-paced folk pop rock song. JOHN SOUTHERN “DEPARTURE” U. PRIVATE 1979 sealed vinyl john’s equally as rare 2nd lp. This one sounds a bit more commercial than equinox with solid songs and good playing. CROSSROADS “LIGHTS IN THE SKY” U.
