Various Albums

Every album picture on these Boston Sound pages are scanned from my collection (as well as all the clippings and posters). I have a good collection as you can see, but I don't have everything. Thus I admit to having gaps in the coverage here.
Also, there is always something a little obscure that you missed that now someone says is the best group ever. For instance, I never heard of The Art of Lovin' ...click but I'd love to hear that LP.

Lp's I do not have.

Tangerine Zoo - Outside Looking In.
Ill Wind - Flashes
The Lost
The Freeborne - Peak Impressions
Front Page Review

**Some small comments on some albums so I don't miss anything.**

Tangerine Zoo Holy tap dancing Moses! This is one fun album. Some great psych with plenty of fuzz and organ wash.
Bo Grumpus/Before The War This is low key psych that benifits greatly from Felix Pappalardi. Felix co-wrote three songs and they are a step above the others in my mind. One caled *Travelin' In The Dark* is very good. Brooklyn written by Jim Colegrove is another winner. It has been rerelesed on Wounded Bird Records.
Phluph I've always loved their song *Dr Mind. The cover of Dylan's It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry* has got them attention through the years. The nice organ work is the best feature of this album. Link to website of quitarist Ben Blake.
Bead Game I don't know much about this group. They had the same management as Quill.
Bead Game/Babtism What a surpise this is, a LP that was recorded in 1970 and released in 1996. I see Eric Lindgren's name on the back and I would suspect him in such a project. His Arf Arf label is a souce of local rock. Ark Arf Records.
Teddy and the Pandas / Basic Magnetism The main example of a band who was pre-Bosstown Sound who changed to join the bandwagon. They tell their own story very well...click here for Teddy and Pandas website.
Chameleon Church This Alan Lorber produced LP is heavily arranged Baroque-psych. It's claim to fame is Chevy Chase of *Saturday Night Live* on drums. It's a pleasant listen. Click for story by band member Ted Meyers
Bagatelle / 11pm Saturday A strange sort of album. Soul, strings, doo wop and gospel are some of the elements here. It's a Tom Wilson production which is notable. Mostly known in Boston because of the presence of local legend Willie Loco who has the best moment here on *Back On The Farm* .
St. Steven This was under the radar for me. Now released on CD at www.eclecticdiscs.com. St. Steven a/k/a Steve Cataldo latter became the leader of the Nervous Eaters that lead the punk movement in Boston in the late 70's. Two bonus tracs have Ian Bruce Douglas on 12 string guitar.
