John Winch - I Am a Free and Travelling Man (Very rare 1981 UK Folk LP released in Germany on Brutkasten)

 

Sometime in the late 1970s, says John, "A friend offered me two tours in Bavaria, Germany.
They were very successful and in the early 1980s this gave me the idea to move to Germany on a permanent basis."
In fact in 1981 John put out an album on the German Brutkasten label entitled ‘I Am A Free and Travelling Man’.
It featured ‘Little Woman’ and 10 other self-penned songs.
The track ‘Free & Travelling Man’ spoke of the freedom of the road, a belief expressed on the LP’s back cover on which John writes simply ‘Keep free and travelling.’


Listen : A5. Little Woman

A3. Suzanne

 

Another great addition to any UK Folk collection !

Jeff Thornley - Locked Inside (Rare 1983 Private US Underground Rock LP)

 

 

Jeff Thornley’s rare album from Delaware spans a variety of stylistic avenues – from straight pop rock to heavy rock to a country tune. He excels in the heavy rock department and both side openers are standout tracks. The production throughout has a reverbish sound, which gives it an underground flare.


Listen : A1. How Do I Make Him Understand

& A3. Where Do I Go From Here

The whole album : Jeff Thornley - Locked Inside

 

A great album in a great condition !

Jay Blasi & Scott Chunn - In Your Hands (197? Private US Folk masterpiece)

 

 

Really excellent US Folk LP with great harmony vocals privately released by this duo in the 70's.
 

I found this comment on http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.com/ :
"My husband and I were Americans stationed in Germany with Jay Blasi and Scott Chunn in the 1970's. I have their album "In Your Hands"."


Listen : A5. Sweet Susie

A2. Before My Life Is Thru 


Unfortunately the upper seam is torn on 8 inches ...

Truly a still unknown little masterpiece we have here !

Stephen Raley - Won't You Hurry Us Home ... Wish We'd All Been Ready (Excellent 1972 US Xian Loner Folk LP on Angelus)

 

Totally obscure Californian loner folk psych issued on Angelus (same label than Fraction).
Deep introspective vocals with a Perry Leopold feeling.
Very rare album ... and a little masterpiece !


Listen : B1. Silent and Lonely

A1. Won't You Hurry Us Home

B5. Souls to Give

A2. I Could Just Go On Living 

A6. Woman At The Well + B4. Cobblestone      

 

Recently discovered excellent early 1970's Xian folk private on the Angelus label.
This is (in my opinion) one of the 10 most significant Christian folk records ever released.
About half the tracks have a darker Tim Buckley-like loner folk edge, but really the whole thing is great. This would certainly be listed in Acid Archives if they ever did a 3rd edition.

A rare and wonderful LP in a flawless condition ! Don't miss this one !

Emmet Spiceland - The Emmet Spiceland Album (Excellent 1968 Irish Folk LP - 1977 Reissue on Hawk)

 

 

This was the first reissue of "The First" Emmet Spiceland LP released in 1968 on Page One.
I prefer this Hawk reissue because it omitted the spoken word segments between tracks that are present on the original Page One pressing (in which band members introduce the songs) making for a cleaner overall listening experience. 

Emmet Spiceland (Brian Byrne & his brother Michael Byrne and Donal Lunny) released a really great album of Irish Folk music !

Listen : B1. Mary From Dungloe

B6. The Curragh of Kildare 

A4. Lover's Ghost

Pierre Litoust - ST (Amazing Private 1979 French Singer-Songwriter LP)

 

Astonishing album !

A little masterpiece in my opinion though Pierre Litoust is still quite unknown in the collectors' circle !


Privately released in 1979 on Litoust's own label "Les Disques de l'Éclipse".

Listen : A1. Une église se lézarde

and A5. Transhumance nocturne

His first and more progressive LP  ... his 2nd and 3rd LPs are more "chanson française" ala Georges Brassens.
