Now it's time to give these weird sounds the credit they deserved.
It's amazing; just LOOK WHAT I HAVE FOUND in thrift stores, second hand markets and sometimes even IN THE TRASH CAN.
Thanks to CD I was able to save these unusual tunes on 45 rpm 7" records. It's obvious that these 45s have been played a lot, so surface noice is almost obligatory. No hi-tek cd quality, but just back to the times where no one had ever heard of digital recording studios.
All the songs on these compilations are from the original 45 rpm records released prior to 1980 when CD took over the world of warm vinyl sounds. I've tried to exclude any song that's been compiled before, but as I don't own each and every compilation album ever made, there might be some songs that you already own on another compilation album. Look, listen and enjoy...

Subtitle: Weird-itis - 16 uncommon underachieving 60s diseases
If you're ill and lying in your tiki couch, don't listen to these 45s recorded in the 60s and the 70s. You won't feel better and believe me you can miss these proofs of bad taste. However if you wanna get sick, I highly recommend this volume and I think you're gonna buy a blue skai chair...
(Lizard 45-1009 from 1970)
This funky instro wailer starts with a deep deep bass guitar waiting for the organ and guitar and then a second psychedelic organ joins; to make it complete a fuzz guitar takes over.
2. pop concerto - pop concerto orchestra
(DiscAZ 10.731 )
Yadabadabadabadaaaa! That�s the only word you�ll hear. It�s early 70s by a band heavily influenced by the song Popcorn and bands such as Anarchic System.
3. rivers invitation - leon haywood
(Convoy 516 �6.)
Big name (although born as Leon Hayward), but not a well known recording, not like, say, �Soul cargo�: you get everything you always can expect from Haywood: virtuoso Hammond grooves, horns and wild drumming. This is the one and only Convoy recording I know.
4. viva tirado - the duke of burlington
(Dureco Benelux 4138 from 1970)
Bongos, organs, bass and more organs; what else do you need from the enigmatic Duke Of Burlington. Dreamy acid jazz from 1970. I�ve got three �Flash� 45s, all with different flipsides and I highly recommend them all. I�ve seen this song being covered by various bands, but this still remains the best version.
5. groove's groove - richard 'groove' holmes
(Prestige PR 45.228 from 1966)
Mister Groove with his personal groove: cool bachelor pad style Hammond jazz from the magical year of 1966. The sleeve reads �Swinging Organ Sounds� and that says it all.
6. earl's dog - earl bostic & bill doggett
(King 45-5427 from 1960)
Two of my favourite jazz musicians joined together on one 45. A swirling organ dances with a steamy sax to start that swinging decade. More info about Bill Doggett can be found on vol 9.
7. bo diddley-itis - bo diddley
(Chess CH25001 �7.)
Almost 4 minutes long with a 50 second intro. Clap your hands and shout along with the most recognizable beat ever invented. The last 50 seconds are in hands of his heavy fuzz guitar.
8. twist time - the twisters
(Barclay 62.946 �6.)
Another typical Belgian twist recording. This should have been compiled on the compilation �Twistin� time vol 1�, maybe a cool suggestion for a second volume? Not so easy to find with picture sleeve nowadays.
9. nefta - pop concerto orchestra
(DiscAZ 10.750 �7.)
Moog extravaganza on this one. This was released shortly after the �Pop concerto� 45, earlier on this volume. On vol. 38 you�ll get another one. Still it�s hard to find any info on bands like this.
10. le chat - devil sauce
(Carrere 49.176 from 1976)
�Touchez le chat de la voisine� or �Touch the pussy of my neighbour�. Naughty naughty moog-synth samba pop from France. The sleeve is fabulous, isn�t it?
11. wow - andre gagnon
(K�bec KD4004 from 1976)
And from that same year you�ll get a man who was known for his disco releases. However, he did some respectful things as well hence his inclusion on this volume. A bongo starts and then a thumping bass is added followed by a set of wah wah guitar licks. When the electric piano and the synths join, the party can start.
12. whitsand bay - mike wallace & the caretakers
(Polydor 421 055 �6.)
Fuzz guitars and Mike Wallace? Yes it�s a perfect match. This cool beat song is released on the German Polydor label and is probably from the second part of the 60s.
13. the whip part2 - darnell simpkins & the family tree
(Scm SCM2000 �7.)
An S&M instrumental by a mystery artist (well, I don�t know him). It�s one of the funkiest selections on this volume. An actual whip was used for this recording and after a short break there�s even a genuine torture sequence while the organ goes on and goes on.
14. hully gully fire house - harold nicholas
(Barclay 70511 �6.)
A French guy? Could be. Anyway, he�s singing in French with an Anglo accent. I first bought it because of the suave sleeve, but this song really has something special.
15. bo-jam - bo diddley
(Chess 25004 �7.)
And here�s Mister McDaniel again with another �personal� instro. The heavy organ sounds and the thunderous bass turn this song into something completely un-Diddley. If this was really just a jam by Bo�s backing band, then I�d like to know the name of that band, for this is super stuff! �Husband in law� should be ignored as you might have guessed.
16. (there's always someone sitting in my) blue skai chair - mariacchi fiesta band
(Deja PROM-68004 from 1968)
From a commercial to promote a new fabric called Skai. Never seen this before, so this is 100% exclusive for you and here I can end this 35th volume with the weirdest stuff from my garbage collection.
