Tom Wachunas - Spare Changes (Amazing 1975 US Private Folk Singer-Songwriter LP)

 

This obscure Ohio private press LP is quite good from artist, journalist, and teacher Tom Wachunas. Apparently, this was created and recorded when Wachunas was in grad school at Ohio State. A graduation project for his Master’s in Fine Art. Singer-songwriter intentions with a variety of instrumentation, sounds and a bunch of musicians in toe to fill out the project. Recorded in Columbus, Ohio at a now defunct recording studio. The back jacket states ‘summer of 1975’. Speaking of the album jacket, it’s designed with a great DIY artistic flare, no surprise there with his artist talents however much appreciated ! (reviewed by recorddigger on rateyourmusic)

John Turier - Plumbers Rejoice (Extremely rare 1980 Private Real People Folk LP from Australia)

 

As my friend "sadlonerfolk" described it on instagram : "I dived in the Australian folk movement some months ago and was trying to find some more unknown folk records. Was surprised that there are several working class folk records that roots in minimal Dylan folk songwriting. Two are worth tracking down in my opinion as they both try to find their own approach to it. John Turier has written all the songs himself and self released the record in 1980 even though it sounds much more like 60's folk. Not sure how many are pressed but it seems quite rare and difficult to find, only one sold online so far."

A very rare and amazing LP !

So obscure that I can not find any track available on YouTube !

One of my greatest discoveries in recent months !!!

The kind of album that makes you forget the hundreds of unproductive hours spent browsing the web.

Daniel Dugès - L'autan (Rare 1981 French Folk LP on Kiosque d'Orphée)

 

His 2nd LP released in 1981 on Kiosque d'Orphée.

Daniel Dugès has his roots anchored in the family of French singers with folk orchestration, and here delivers us songs dedicated to his adopted region, Limousin, and sets to music his melancholy and his youthful memories. The texts are touching and require several listenings to appreciate their magic.
