EPYSODE 23: "Volcanic Rock" by Buffalo.

Guest: Buffalo lead singer Dave Tice.

In this epysode, we dive into "Volcanic Rock", the fiery 1973 album by Australian rock legends Buffalo. Known for its raw energy and blistering guitar riffs, the album blends hard rock with bluesy undertones, establishing Buffalo as one of the era's most underrated bands. We’re joined by lead singer Dave Tice, who shares behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the creation of this heavy classic.

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Volcanic Rock" as much as I do.

Epysode 22: "Parish Hall" by Parish Hall.

Ah yes, the "Power Trio". So many famous ones come to mind...The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Blue Cheer, Rush...the list goes on and on. But in this epysode, we dive into a NOT so famous one. Very little is known about the band Parish Hall. They only recorded the one album, but it's a beauty. If you like early 70's blues-rock, this one is going to hit home for you.

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Parish Hall" as much as I do.

EPYSODE 21: "Beginning From An End" by Fairweather.

Guest: Andy Fairweather-Low.

When you're in a band that has had a string of smash hits, it's not easy to walk away. But that's exactly what Andy Fairweather-Low did when he said goodbye to Amen Corner, who were at the peak of their game scoring a #1 and several other top 10 hits.

Andy wanted to move from just singing to playing guitar and he wanted to write more of his own material. Thus from the end of Amen Corner came the beginning of Fair Weather.

They released two albums in the early 70's taking in influences from American soul combined with the English psych and prog sounds they were surrounded by.

Andy of course went on to a very successful career with solo albums and working on a host of amazing projects as a sideman for the stars. And he's still going, still releasing great music.

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Beginning From An End" as much as I do.

Here’s a special Epysode to tide you over until our next featured album.

Every year Uncle Herff and I create a fantasy band with members who passed away in the most recent calendar year. Sadly, 2024 was another rough year for fans as we lost so many wonderful musicians. 

We will miss all these artists immensely. The great jam in the sky just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

RIP to all those we lost...your music will live on forever.

EPYSODE 20 "Sussex" by Bent Wind.

Guests: Bent Wind band members Marty Roth and Ed Thomas.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

When the Beatles hit, bands started cropping up everywhere. Sure, the most successful groups came from the US or the UK, but that doesn't mean smaller countries weren't immune to "cool". Bands from these areas had a difficult time breaking through as they were on smaller labels, with smaller budgets and a reluctance from American radio at the time to take a chance on playing "outsider" music. As a result we have a ton of high quality albums that never achieved any level of commercial success at the time of their release, but now are considered classics.

Bent Wind's "Sussex" falls into that category. In 1969 the Canadian band couldn't give them away. Now original copies fetch over $10,000.

If you like your psych hard and heavy, this ramshackle album is going to be right up your alley. 

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you enjoy "Sussex" as much as I do.

EPYSODE 19: "Psychedelic Lollipop" by The Blues Magoos.

Guest: Blues Magoos singer/guitarist Peppy Castro.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

At the tender age of 14, Peppy Castro was taught the famous E minor chord on an acoustic guitar. "The minute I played that chord, it was like the heavens opened up". He left home, dropped out of school and pursued a different path.

A chance meeting introduces him to Ronnie Gilbert and Ralph Scala and the seeds for The Blues Magoos were planted.

"We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" is ubiquitous with 60's American garage/psych rock. It's two minutes of rock 'n' roll perfection. The rest of the "Psychedelic Lollipop" album proves that these guys - kids really - had some serious skill. This record is a mix of fantastic originals along with choice covers. 

Sadly all momentum was lost when their first single from their follow up album was banned. One more fantastic LP followed before band politics reared its ugly head.

What we are left with is some incredible music highlighted by this killer album - a necessity for any collection.

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Psychedelic Lollipop" as much as I do.

EPYSODE 18: "Songs For The Gentle Man" by Bridget St. John.

Guest: Bridget St. John.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

When the most famous DJ in the world champions you and decides to open a record label specifically to record and market your music, well, you're doing something right.

Bridget St. John's name may not be as widely known as some of her British folk contemporaries, but her music is deserving of attention for any fan of the genre.

Recording her first three albums for John Peel's Dandelion label between 1969 and 1972 she released consistently high quality work, garnering excellent reviews. A fourth album followed for Chrysalis a couple years later and then...silience. Nothing for 20 years. After a long delay, she's back recording and touring again and sounding better than ever.

Bridget recalls stories of meeting John Martyn, playing with Michael Chapman, recording demos at Al Stewart's house, hearing David Bowie's acetate of a famous song before it was released and being in an uncomfortable car ride with Jethro Tull when they fired Mick Abrahams. 

It's a shame Bridget's work didn't find a wider audience as her songwriting and guitar skills are only outshined by her exquisite voice.

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Songs For The Gentle Man" as much as I do.

EPYSODE 17: "Out Of Nowhere" by Henry Schifter.

Guest: Henry Schifter.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

Here we have yet another album by a one-and-done artist.

Henry was an American guitarist who released a few singles with a few labels in the sixties. He finally got the opportunity to record a full-length album in 1971, though he had to go to France to do it.

He recorded a strong album, and one that should have warranted some follow ups but it never came to pass. 

Henry shares some great stories about the recording of the album, his run-in with Johnny Rivers (spolier alert: he didn't like him) and a great tale that includes a cool looking belt, a pistol and weed. What a rock and roll trifecta!

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you enjoy "Out Of Nowhere" as much as I do.

EPYSODE 16: "20 Granite Creek" by Moby Grape.

Guest: Moby Grape drummer Don Stevenson.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

Of all the great 60’s bands that came from the San Francisco area, Moby Grape may have been the best. Their 1967 debut album stands tall among the other giants released that year. Bad luck, terrible management decisions and a record company gaffe for the ages derailed all their momentum (wait until you hear Don’s ‘record company executive’ impression!).

By 1969 they had called it quits. But they got the itch to get back together and record a standout album in their discography...the rare “reunion album” that’s actually good.

Take a trip with Don and I as we discuss the formation, the demise, the-reformation, the demise, the re-reformation...well, you get the idea - of one of the greatest bands of the 1960’s and as we dive into each track of this wonderful yet underrated gem.

I hope you dig "20 Granite Creek" as much as I do.

===AIR OARS END O'MISSIONS===

I attributed the song "Ode To The Man At The End Of The Bar" to Bob Mosley, when in fact it was actually written by his brother Andy.

Also, I reported that the band toured Europe after the release of 20 Granite Creek; this is incorrect. They toured there in 1969.
