larry marshall - queer and wonder - rare youth - lp - 15$
This album is a collection of songs from Larry Marshall, an elusive and mythic figure whose self-described 'Gothic Folk...from the future' is presented here for the first time in glowing, psychedelic stereo-surround, etched on black wax. Larry has been living in Rhode Island for his entire life, and has performed at many of the storied (and now defunct) venues in and around Providence, RI. Despite this long history, his music is barely known outside of a small circle of close friends and die-hard local fans. Queer And Wonder is a collection of songs from Larry's catalog: three tracks were previously released on a small cassette edition from Unskilled Labor, and a track by the band Box Patrol (w/Larry on vocals and pitch-pipe), was previously released on a CDR by the legendary Fort Thunder Records. The LP is rounded off w/ a few live tracks from a solo gig in Manchester, England, a live radio session, and some collaborations unearthed from tapes found in Larry's apartment in West Warwick, RI. Edition of 350, covers designed by CF, w/ inserts / lyric sheet."

plane - kremlin - rare youth - cass - 7$
johnson county guitar duos from iowa’s evan miller and phil ochs. i first heard plane when i was visiting iowa city for the first time. phil was screening some of his gorgeous super 8 filmsand plane provided the soundtrack via cassette deck. it was the perfect tonic after a long drive from chicago ... with scenes of county fairs and kids goofing off in the iowa hills. there’s a wonderful melancholy to all these songs, and a great rapport between phil and evan, with just enough fuzz, tremolo, and finger-picking to put a large smile on my face. very refreshing!
