Happy Halloween :: C.A. Quintet: Trip Thru Hell
One of the most unique, unheralded albums of the 60s, the C.A. Quintet’s Trip Thru Hell was a small indie pressing of under 500 from the Candy Floss label, making it a very rare 1968/1969 release. Originals will […]
Fang :: Diary Of A Mad Werrwoulf

The Graham Bond Organization :: The Sound of 65
It’s a matter of record that the British Blues Boom of the sixties – as discrete from British Rhythm‘n’Blues, a similar but different beast – was originally created not by former rock’n’roll or Beat musicians […]
The Ify Jerry Krusade :: Everybody Likes Something Good
In reference to a DJ set I did for Dublab a few weeks back , a number of folks have inquired as to the origins of the Ify Jerry Krusade’s “Everybody Likes Something Good” I included. So here […]
