SHINDIG!-#67 JIMI HENDRIX His manic, meteoric 1967 as it happened BOOKS & MAGS $11 SKU:18676

CYNICS-NO PLACE TO HIDE - PURPLE VINYL`Label:GET HIP BW / HARD TIMES 1985 was a transitional year for the Cynics. Michael Kastelic had joined the band, replacing original vocalist Mark Keresman, who appeared on their debut single, “Painted My Heart” b/w “Sweet Young Thing,” which came out that year. While the band continued with a sound that combined the dreamy aspects of the West Coast’s Paisley Underground with vintage ’60s garage rock, Kastelic unleashed a new, wilder element in the band. A dynamic performer, he had a tendency to wail, and nowhere was that more apparent than on the band’s sophomore single, the original “No Place to Hide,” backed by a cover of “Hard Times,” originally recorded by the Century’s in 1966. 45 RPM $14 SKU:18767

BLUE ASH - ABRACADABRA -70s POWER POP-Label:YOU ARE THE COSMOS BW (HAVE YOU SEEN HER?) / HIPPY HIPPY SHAKE`` In 1972, Blue Ash signed a production deal with Peppermint Records of Youngstown, Ohio. This was the classic Blue Ash line-up of Frank Secich, Jim Kendzor, Bill “Cupid” Bartolin, and David Evans. We made our first demos in June of 1972, which included “Abracadabra (Have You Seen Her?),” and Peppermint sent them out to all the major labels, resulting in Mercury signing us in late 1972. Our deal with Peppermint gave us two free days of recording every month for five years. So every month we would lay down demos of our new songs for copyright purposes, demo references, and to hear what they sounded like on tape. Over the five year period of 1972-76, we had recorded some 219 songs in various degrees of quality. Some were “live” in the studio and others multi-tracked. 45 RPM $8 SKU:18174
