Various Artists - The Room (Rare 1968? Canadian V.A. Private Folk LP)

 

 

Canadian-only private press folk LP from Windsor, Ontario coffeehouse, The Room.

""The Room" was initiated in the Fall of 1965.It was intended as an ecumenial effort by the Roman Catholic, Anglican and United chaplains. The original decor was comprised of a few odd card tables and borrowed chairs.It was simply an informal meeting room where students could discuss anything from sex to politics. As time went on, a few people brought guitars and music and poetry became the soul of every Sunday evening. Soon, new custom tables were acquired and the attendence increased from crowds of sixty or seventy to two and three hundreds. This album is the culmination of three years of performances by those hearty souls who have sung and recited their way into the very hearts of the students at the University of Windsor." (Notes from the back cover)

John & Patrick - Song Poets ... Just Passin' Through (Very rare 1969? US Private Xian Folk LP)

 

Moody, intimate, strangely morbid Christian folk.
Original songs that often have a gloomy sound.
The first song was inspired by the motion picture The Pawnbroker, surely one of the grimmest movies ever made.
Track 3, "Who's That Hanging", is indicative of the tone of this strange, interesting obscurity.
Odd liner notes refer to "the hollow fear of the unwed child-mother as she faces Spring alone" and "the fruit keeps growing sour on the vine".
(review from ebay seller)

One of the singers was John Rodak and the other one could be Patrick Mason.
