This sounds interesting! Is it an official release?

To the best of my knowledge, it is. A slew of All Ameeican releases are scheduled for release in early 2012.

Sounds good!
Who's behind this? Vinyl or CD-only?

For now it will be downloads only at the Crossfire Publications site (with a PDF of info on the bands).

Nobody have the 45?

Are you sure one was released? I've never seen one in 30+ years of collecting.....

Thomas also informed me that one just sold one eBay, so I'm trying to contact the winning bidder.

If you can, Mike, ask the winner what code shows in the vinyl deadwax area - I'm curious to learn if it came out after the Big Brother 45 (1970).

It's from 68.

An excellent Denver area band from 1967/70 who traveled the area playing in Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, Greeley, etc. They were also known as "Friar Fat and Friends " before they changed their name to Pure Sound. George Gardine "Friar Fat" was a large man in those days, perhaps 300 lbs. In 1968 they recorded a single for All-American records at Jackson Sound in Denver; called "In The Dark/IBM Blues" Production was by Marcus Damerst then also based in Denver, who passed away in the summer of 2001. The group recorded 4 demos tracks in 1968, including their version of the folk song "Bamboo", an astonishing 13:00 eastern-flavored piece in several movements. It appears that when the drummer-James Townsend-was lured away to Northern California in 1970, the group disbanded, and Nathan Warner along with producer Marc Damerst started a electric-acoustic duo called "Nathan-Marcus".
