Stephen David Heitkotter S/T LP $48 This album, made some time before 71,
by a man who reportedly ended up in an asylum, rocks and rolls in a freewheeling
way, better than most. The instrumentation, (possibly all played by the loner,
Heitkotter) weave and dodge each other in ecstatic circles, while Steve spouts
rock’n‘soul sermons that are the perfect come-down from the technicolour flower-fuckery
of the late 60’s. Don’t get me wrong. This record isn’t so much of a downer, as it
is a revelry for the end of the world. Definitely one of the best private press
re-issues I’ve ever come accross.

Lula Cortes – Rosa de Sangue LP $48

Patron Saints – Fohhoh Bohob LP with 7” $50
PATRON SAINTS, THE ~ FOHHOH BOHOB ~ lp & 7inch (TIME-LAG 039/040)
deluxe and exact official reissue of one of the rarest & most unique gems of the 60s private press psychedelic underground. home recorded in a suburban new york living room over just a couple weeks in 1969 by three enthused teenagers, and then self released by the band in an edition of only 100 copies complete with hand assembled covers and booklet insert. dreams of rock stardom may have faded quickly, but from such humble beginnings these kids totally transcended their limited resources… an album overflowing with naive creativity, huge ideas, deep bedroom mysticism, and more then a hint of stoned teenage humor, not to mention a rather unusual assortment of instruments and some very unconventional but brilliant “studio” maneuvering. two singers/songwriters both with wonderfully deep, poetic & introspective lyrics and unique voices, chiming 12 string & electric guitars, unusually cool use of piano, crude drum kit, autoharp, banjo, tambourine, subtle bursts of fuzz bass, off kilter unison vocals, washes of reverb modulation, weird tape edits, and a seriously one-of-a-kind vibration. there’s truly been nothing like it before or since… highest quality production throughout with better then ever master tape sounds and warm analog mastering, audiophile 180gm vinyl, exact reproduction of the original heavy weight cover with front & back mind-blowingly cool crude black & white art just like the original, exact reproduction of the thick insert booklet with gold printed covers on multiple colors of construction paper. plus a bonus 7inch of two essential tracks intended for the original lp but left off due to time restrictions, complete with colored construction paper picture sleeve and lyric insert. without a doubt, the definitive reissue of this lost masterpiece. released in full cooperation with founding member eric bergman. strictly limited to 1000 copies.
