Prentice & Tuttle - Every Loving Day (Wonderful 1972 US Rural Psych Folk LP on RPC)

 

This collectable record by Steve Prentice and Stephen Tuttle is a fragile psych folk record with strong rural Americana feeling.
Most of the songs were recorded in a small apartment in Boston, Steve had a job as a printer, and Stephen was working in a warehouse.
They had their own equipment to record a number of takes after work and weekends.
Steve and Stephen met with John Gerbron and David Cain at the Knowles House to do a couple of songs. Tapes finished in early June 1972 at Stephen's house outside Philadelphia.
About a thousand of copies were made. (from http://rockasteria.blogspot.com/ )

Listen :  A1 The River Song  &  A2 Old Man Taylor 

The whole album :  Prentice & Tuttle - Every Loving Day 

 

"... On the rare occasion I listen to this music it no longer feels like listening to myself. Too much time has passed. Just two young lads playing some songs. A few moments of creativity and heartfelt expression." (Stephen Tuttle)

Jeff Carroll - Bread : The Soul Sound Jesus Review (Very rare 1972 Australian LP on Troubadour Records PTY LTD)

 

Rare 1972 Australian LP released on the little Troubadour Records PTY LTD label.

Composer & Director : Jeff Carroll

This sombre baroque-folk track is taken from the rare Sydney musical 'Bread: The Soul Sound Jesus Revue', with music written by composer Jeff Carroll and privately released on the Balmain-based 'Troubadour Custom' label - the same label that released other highly collectable albums by Michael Caulfield, Pageant Theatre and The Followers. This track with its heavy and funky drums, choral harmonies, tender female lead vocals and minor-keyed mood is by far the stand-out from this album.
