Amnesia - Ahh...

Pretty good hard rock that borders on bonehead cruncher and glam-ish rock. Sort of sounds a tiny bit like Rose Tattoo. Much better than their 2nd single.

Released in 1974, this is the ultra-rare, white label Promotional Only 7", 45rpm EP by the Tampa, FL trio of 20-year-old power poppers, Amnesia "Ahh..." (3:40) This is Earshot Records TC-1128 The songs were recorded at Bee Jay Recording Studios in Winter Park, FL, and engineered by Bill Vermillion.

Released out of Winter Park, Florida.

The Guided Tour - 50 BC Man

Another little known garage psych tune by "The Guided Tour". Info is scant. Not a ripper but a good tune with some psych vibes and organ. A little guitar break in the middle. Looks like this was from 1970 and out of Minnesota, other than that i just don't know....

Intruders - I'm Sold (On You)

Uforia - Out Of Control

Very little info on the net this one, but what I found was it is from 1980 and they were from Cleveland. If that is true it's very metal for 1980 and pre-dates a lot of NWOBHM and west coast thrash by years. Pretty cool, dirty & heavy as balls "biker rock". The slightly inept playing makes this a perfect fit for the stupid metal shit I love.

Jimmy Sweeney - What'cha Gonna Do About Me

Rollin' & Rockin' R&B number from Jimmy Sweeney (AKA Jimmy Bell) on the Buckley Records label from 1962.

The Twilights - It's Been So Long - She's Gonna Put Me Down

Just scored this little soulful 45 at the local thrift on the cheap. I've seen that this is from 1964 and 1966??? Sounds more like 64 to my ears but i don't know for sure. Info is pretty scarce of the twilights but i think they were from Detroit?

Marty Gino - Cry Baby, Sigh Ba-A-By

Today's flea market find. I knew nothing about this before i bought it and still don't, but it was cheap and looked interesting. It's a mild type teen rocker, maybe a bit like a more poppy rockabilly tune....?

Billy Farrell - Slippin' And Slidin'

Hit the flea market late today and managed to score this little rocker from 1956 for a buck... just thought i'd share. Cheers!

Chuck Murphy - Who Drank My Beer (While I Was In The Rear)

I hate when this happens... Not much has changed since 1952.

Here is what Billboard had to say about it Jul 19, 1952: Pleasant ditty is given good pace by a spirited western featuring a honky tonk piano. Murphy half-talks half-sings the lyrics with proper dolefulness while the boys in teh band add a gang vocal in spots. Should do okay in tavern jukes.
