A super huge THANKS to E.W. Eliot Wilder (https://mondoexploito.blogspot.com/)for requesting this super rarity (remaining copies $200+) that I pumped out a hondo & a half for as it was mint but simply missing the sticker label.  The songs are performed by the master himself (they think just read above it is quite telling) but mainly Johnny Rivers, Fifth Dimension, Richard Harris, Glen Campbell, maybe Phil Ramirez, Strawberry Children, Marilyn McCoo, Roberta Flack (perhaps LOL) and all made for acid drenched mind expansion!  Incredible songs make it all worthwhile and the artist recordings are top notch!  O.K. thanks also to Jungle Jim for sending in his best albums & Albums That Should Exist Blogspot for 2 CD's worth of songbook songs to add to my vinyl songbook songs as just added per above title change and also got up to 1982 album from youtube then stopped but if other do tell.

NEW CENSATION - st LP 74

 This one was a "First Round Knockout" for me as I listened in absolute glee!  It is a Van McCoy produced "Super Bad Soul" kind of release that I enjoy so just "Come Down To Earth" and "I've Got Nothing But Time" to get to know it because "Everybody Has A Story" and "I'm Bettin' All My Love" you'll enjoy!

The Clams - What's Wrong With This Picture? 7 86 w Exile On Lake Street EP 88 w The Complete Clams CD 22

REPOST and ADD ON:  When Jokonky blog posted an Exile on Main Street Stones cover tribute post here (https://jonderblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/exiles-on-same-street.html) it triggered my memory that I never had got the Clams "Exile On Lake Street" so I got stuff to add to my 7 inch post which I had included in this recent series of posts:  Minneapolis/St. Paul 80's/Early 90's Music Scene which now gives me a convenient place to post a video covering this scene since I hadn't stream captured it yet and it is in final edit format from the first one I saw years ago, here is the link to that MP4:  https://bestfile.io/en/63wRyoYC3Hii6BV/file

VA - ALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTION ALLIANCE CD 96

REPOST Comps. for Jonathan Richman Post:  What I wrote before:  Per Discogs:  Had to get this one after someone on a meta group posted it for John Kass--who is on the cover and does the GoJohnnyGo website as well as is a featured speaker on some Replacements type band DVD's for our local scene.  I used to see him slingin' records at RadioK sponsored shows or bimonthly at record shows he was selling at usually with Drew from Boiled in Lead band.  He now is semi retired as he has a wasting disease form of ataxia but still updates with posts.  I love this comp. because I immediately recognized some Radio K weekly top 7 hits like Land of Loops long time top 7 hit 'Multi-Family Garage Sale" along with many more like Squirrel Nut Zipper from Chicago that I saw many times and the following bands:  Sebadoh, Jonathan Richman, Muzzle, His Name Is Alive, Man...Or Astroman? The Loud Family, Jeremy Enigk, Penny Dreadfuls, Kilgore Smudge, Paul Quinn & The Independent Group, Los Mas Turbados, Johnny Skilsaw, Jake and Willie Wisely!!!  Since I've been doin' the recent MN comp. posts.

Oil Tasters - st CD 82 05

Wanted to finally get this posted again as they are from Milwaukee (and not Madison, WI where legendary Butch Vig band Spooner just played and I will post for that next week).  As Discogs says they play "somewhat bizarre, cutting-edge jazz-rock, armed with saxophone, drums, bass and organ.  Enjoy!

NO DICE - st LP 78 w Loaded Promo EP 78 w 2 Faced LP 79

REPOST Request:  What I wrote last time:  Going to clip a good review from the comments:  Bruce Brodeen said...The first album is absolutely AWESOME...gritty, pub-cum-powerpop-hard rocking material. Totally stands up today for my ears. Never could get into the second one but will revisit the material. You show extremely good taste and intelligence by putting up the UK versions for US folks. I had both versions on vinyl and they are quite different w/ the mixes 'n such. Perhaps the UK version of "Two-Faced" is the same and will be better...well, I'll find out and you have my deep gratitude for giving my the opportunity to give another shot w/ the 2nd album!

MAMA CASS - Dream A Little Dream Of Me LP 68 [Two Versions] w Bubble Gum, Lemonade And Something For Mama LP 69 w Cass Elliot LP 72 w Dave Mason & Cass Elliot LP 71 w Mama's Big Ones Best Of Cassette 73 w The Big Three Featuring Mama Cass st LP 67

REPOST Request:  What I wrote before:  I really enjoyed hearing these for the first time and highly recommend her solo work!  Couldn't find the trippy version of 'Dream' album with all different songs in a more psychedelic style than the earlier one that also shines on vinyl with great simple tones in the raw version with a couple same songs so included all versions.  Such a voice!  These are all keepers for sure.  Took years to have all these.         https://bestfile.io/en/xdKDwpjEki4iDxZ/file
