Old bands you have just discovered
Who have you discovered?
Well, if "just" can take into account the last 5 or so years, loads. Back in 2006, I decided to check out some bands / artists that I'd read about over the preceding 26 years but had never got around to checking out. I had hundreds of albums and I wasn't really looking to increase my collection. I thought I'd just have a look at the Zombies and the Pretty Things. But in the record shop, I was reminded of the James Gang whom I'd hummed and hawed about for ages. Before I knew it, I was checking out High Tide, Gravy Train, It's a beautiful Day, The Glass Harp, Budgie, Luv Machine, Josefus, ELO (their first LP), Fuzzy Duck, Mogul Thrash, Curved Air, Dust {it had Marky Ramone on drums in a past life}, Spirit.......then I discovered the Heavenly Grooves website where loads of out of print LPs were posted and the Acid Archives that did reviews of psychedelic albums and for the next year or so found more old, obscure bands like The Last Day, Maranatha, the Living Stones, White Light, Out of Darkness, Perry Leopold, Jimmy Hotz, Kemper Crabb,Totty, Fraction, Wits End, the Young Brothers, far too many to name, but these are some of them. I must have acquired more than 300 albums between late '06 and late '08. Some superlative, some good, some average, some crap.......It'll take me probably 12 years to have assimilated it all.
