Twinkeyz & Maypole LPs in Stock

Maypole
The Real LP
Anopheles
From the label: The LP is an ambitious, 50 minute feast of tight harmonies, powerful arrangements, fluid improvisation, and flat out great songs, and serves as a touchstone for twin guitar-driven, west coast styled psychedelia, soaring power pop, and blistering hard rock - some even call it prog - everyone wants a piece of the Great One. If you've been looking for an LP to complete an imaginary trilogy with S.F. Sorrow and Parachute, then this is your tonic.

Twinkeyz
Cartoon Land LP
Anopheles
From the label: Deluxe LP issue of the best studio recordings of 70s Sacramento garage psych legends, the Twinkeyz! The 1998 Aliens In Our Midst CD is out of print, and Donnie Jupiter decided we'd have the most fun making the music available again on a high quality limited edition LP! Stunning full color sleeve featuring original artwork by Donnie never seen in public before, card stock insert with photo and brand new liner notes by Karl Ikola! This group was the "missing link" between the Sacramento Valley '60s garage band scene (Oxford Circle, the Public Nuisance) to '80s Paisley Underground heroes originating from the tiny Davis/Sacramento cluster of groups of the late '70s/early '80s (Dream Syndicate, Game Theory, True West). The Twinkeyz included Donnie Jupiter, guitarist supreme Tom Darling and Dave Houston (ex-Public Nuisance. The group was a "charter member" of the "first wave" of mid-to-late '70s US bands to garner feverish underground notoriety via small press and fanzines such as Pere Ubu, Television, Chrome, Debris', Distorted Levels, the Dogs, the Mirrors and the Sneakers. Crude distortion ("Aliens In Our Midst"), deep fried post-Velvets crunch ("Wild Love" -- at times rivaling Alex Chilton's Like Flies On Sherbert LP!), Syd Barrett/T. Rex inspired garage-pop heaven ("E.S.P.", "Watch Out For Her Kiss") to the "A Day In The Life" meets "L.A. Blues" tumble of the LP finale, "My Plea"! This edition features two cuts never before issued on vinyl! All the original singles and LP tracks! 13 cuts of the best crude genius America had to offer a quarter century ago.

Both of these are up now in our eBay store!
