A few new ones and part one of a wishlist

Nice pic eh? Not much out there for this album. In my opinion this is a psych masterpiece and is in heavy rotation on my turntable (when said tt is available!). This is Eyes of Blue's 1968 Mercury album Crossroads of Time. It's a tight sophisticated LP that in many places is quite advanced for the time. One of the few Beatle covers I can stand (Yesterday) and a punky version of 7+7 Is...., but my favorite is World of Emotion, which just puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it. Not far behind is Love Is the Law, but the whole album is highly listenable without the usual novelties and throwaway tracks psych LPs are often known for. Brillant!!!!

The Austrailian band Master's Apprentices 1st LP from 1967 is a freakbeat classic. It actually transcends freakbeat at times with some early psych and is quite an interesting album. My faves are the 2 punked out rave-ups that would make Jeff Beck (or more similarly Dave Davies) proud, these tracks, Undecided and Buried and Dead, are absolute killers with ripping leads and buzzsaw rhythm guitars and it makes you wonder why some of the other tracks are so lackluster (their weak cover of My Girl springs to mind). 10 tracks like the aforementioned 2 and this would have been a monster. But as it is, there is a bit of something for everyone, a bit of psych, soul, dance tunes, tributes to Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry (in each's respective style) and ballads. The last 4 tracks are non Lp tracks from a different source and quality is not quite as good as the LP itself, but interesting for a listen.

Something I posted as a request over at groovyfab, 2 of the 3 pre-Alice Cooper singles released in '66 and '67. From a boot 7" EP called the Spiders Vs. the Nazz. This is the 2nd single by the Spiders and the only Nazz (Cooper's or should I say Furnier's Nazz, not the Rundgren group) single. Sound quality is not the best, but not all of these have ever seen a legit rerelease, so here they are.

Before I put a questions to all you wonderful readers out there in blogland, here is a final album for today. A request from a week or so ago for some Birth Control. This is an overview of sorts spanning the years 1972-1976 and is called Birth Control Vol.2. Sorry couldn't find a cover for it, but it is a good sampler to decide if you want to explore this band further or not. If so, I can post more from these guys as I have several of their albums.

And now, I mentioned doing this several weeks ago and the idea just kinda faded away due to my short attention span, but I have been steadily putting a list of things I'd either like to hear, to replace stuff I lost (or got stolen, or sold) or just would like to have. This is a small sampling of my list which numbers over 2000 items at this time (and grows almost daily) and we'll see how it goes (if there is a decent response, I will post more eventually). If anyone can help out with anything on this list, I can email a list of stuff I have available (a trade off of sorts) and try to return the favor. If anyone wants to help me out, please email me at the address in my profile or leave a comment with a way for me to get in touch. Thanks in advance to any and all who can help me out.
