Dr. Demento's top 50 for 1975

I have to first thank my Uncle Peter for getting these awesome recordings to me. Thanks Peter. As a middle-schooler my main interests were Star Wars, video games, and "Weird" Al Yankovic. Everything on the radio except oldies took it self too seriously regardless of how catchy some of it was. "Weird" Al would take catchy pop songs and give them lyrics worth listening to. If it weren't for him I would not have discovered Dr. Demento, King of Novelty/Comedy Radio. It Was Dr. D that put "Weird" Al on the radio in the underground california of the 70's. My uncle Peter was, unlike me, actually around and alive in those days. And as a fan took the liberty to record Dr. Demento's top 50 for 1975 on to cassette tape. Years Later he copied it to tape for me. While some to the songs on this radio show are easy to find and available for purchase on novelty compilations many are rare or worse, no information on them anywhere I look,(if you do know send a message). Maybe someday I'll compile all the songs on this show and post a big zip file. But untill that time comes here is some excellent songs from the show most I recorded from the cassete my Uncle Peter gave me.

The Psychedelic Sounds of... The Satelliters



Perhaps I Don't have such an amazing record collection, And maybe I'm Blowing my load to soon, but if I only make one worthwhile post, this is it! I'm Glad to Present this Record, as it is my first post that I'm pretty damn sure no one has posted before, as it took lots of searching to find any, ANY, information on this record, this Band or the Record Label. Yes there is another band called "The Satelliters" who also make garage rock records who I enjoy greatly. But that Band is German, still exist and you can find their records. This Band Seems to be associated with The Mummies, Supercharger and that crowd. Check out the info on them here The Satelliters. On that link you'll find the Record Label "Demolition Derby"(witch this is on) and they also have records on "Pin Up Records."

The Front of this Record Record Says "The Psychedelic Sounds of... The Satelliters" referencing "The Psychedelic Sounds of The Thirteenth Floor Elevators." On the Back It Says "Assata Shakur EP" Assata Shakur is a Black Panther and Political Prisoner, Poet, and Step-Aunt of Tupac Shakur. Yet this Song titled "Assata Shakur" is an Surfy-Psych Instrumental Rock Track witch does not evoke anything relating to this person. "Seven Days" and "Compromisin' " are both awsome and clever catchy garage rock numbers that bring out the heavy and are actually complicated arrangements. And lastly "Bad Little Woman" is a Cover of the tune by The Wheel-A-Ways

Birds of A Feather - Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan




Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan - Birds of a feather.zip

from the back cover...

THIS ALBUM CONTAINS:
Bald-headed birds and dirty underwear, spirits flying beyond time, home-sick steel workers, lost souls, a guest of honor crying at his own funeral, old folks, autumn days, a clock witnessing a murder, weeds, cobwebs, yellow bellied sap suckers, and other deep stuff we have gathered from first-hand observation of life and carefully taken down in brown crayon.

We've been right here in this dream all along, waiting for you. Now that you've found us, think of all the fun we can have before we wake up!

I guess what I mean to say is--thanks for finding us.
MISTY & JACK

P-Model - Landsale

The first word out of anybody's mouth for whom Ive played this record to is "Japanese Devo." These Guys are Really Good , Not a Wannabe Jap-Devo But the Real Deal, Like Devo is The Merican P-Model. Landsale is their second album from 1980, 29 years ago! Scary how time flies. I Made these Files from the Vinyl.
