Hal Shutz At The Hammond Chord Organ
Columbia CL 906

From the back cover: In explaining his theory, Mr. Shutz has noted that "music played on the organ should be executed in a manner conducive to retaining the original plan of a musical composition, with due consideration given to former and current public appreciation of the composition."

Rendezvous In Rio
The Piano And Rhythm Of Livio Salles
Harmony HL 7070

A nice and jazzy piano driven Latin lounge set is to be found behind this creative Harmony cover design. The LP is light on content which may suggest that the material was recorded for a 10 inch and then release or re-released on this 12 inch pressing(?).

Hair
The Galaxy Generation
Design Records SDLP 302

There are about three actual budget "Hair" covers on this record. The remaining tracks are pulled from other sources, including several tracks that sounds like The Three Suns could have recorded them...

Nice vintage cover and LP full of curious, if not funky, lounge tracks.

Exotic Country Music - The Exotic Guitars

Produced by Randy Wood

1970

Blending the space age vibe with country is difficult, but Justis manages to pull it off on Exotic Country Music. The subtle arrangements are way better than the hee-haw choice for cover art.

Time After Time - Chris Montez

Time After Time
Chris Montez
A&M Records A&M 120
1966

From the back cover: A premier sound of casual discipline, effortless phrasing and contemporary good humor. Blended with Nick DeCaro's sparkling arrangements.

This is the second Montez album I've found. Both feature Montez's breathy vocals backed by jazzy space age arrangements. Unusual and terrific all the way through.

Super Hits
Pickwick SPC-3901
A Product Of Pickwick International, Inc.

From the back cover: The hits and the Heavies of today. Flick the dial, let the sound lay on You. Jazzrock blasting big and wild. Funky. The heavy sounds coming in Music of the Woodstock Nation. The black beautiful sounds from the ghettoes of America's shame. Head music in from the coast via Mill Valley and The Strip. Getting the groovy feeling all over. Good vibrations coming down. Superhits are like sounds you dig. Right on! For a little bread. What was the group called that made it happen. Our group is called King's Road. It's a place in Chelsea. Swingin' London. B. A. (Before Altamont). Be free. Dig the way these cats make it happen again. Instant replay. Sounds like the original. Maybe better? Open your head to their thing with someone else's music. It's a commune for hit freaks. People who dig talent, message, love! King's Road are street people. King's Road are the sounds that talk to us. They're saying something. That something is superhits. Superhits all together. Get It Together!
