Lost Sounds Montana, Vol. 1

[Perkeo]

There`s also Gross National Product which was recorded at Valtron..."An Auburn Love-in" / Liquid Paisley", no one`s mentioned that. Haveyou ever heard or even seen the Cherry Tower 45 Buckeye? Has anyone? Ed maybe?

I have the Opus IIII 45. I don't remember what it sounds like. Not a strong endorsement! I have a couple other Valtron things. One had a Norse name (Thor something?) - decent garage, OK for a comp. The record Joey mentioned is the Sound System which I also have. The other Montana 45 I recall is probably the most common MT 45 (other than the Initial Shock) by Yellowstone, a band that has connections to Initial Shock. It's heavy rock, more bluesy than aggressive.

The Opus IIII is folky psych, more laid back, acoustic guitar I think with electric....good, not great.

If you guys check out most pressing facilities websites, a majority of them have links to these crowd funding websites on the front page now. Seems like they're hoping for extra business from groups who don't have the capital to get started. Looks like lots of newer bands are funding entire tours and albums this way now, as well...

That makes sense for them to do that. I think the main problem here was people saying they have rare recordings most of which they are not specific about, coming up with numbers off the top of their head, who seem to have a possibly serious lack of experience in handling one of a kind material, and setting up an elaborate club with rewards having done little of the needed work in some areas. I can see it as a last resort after having approached and asked more experienced people, but here it looks like a first resort and centered too much on gaining/conferring some kind of status as motivation. If that becomes the way things are going to be done it's a step back from how others have been actually sharing and more simply making things available.

Indiego-go isn't Kickstarter, the recipient gets all the money donated even if they don't reach their goal.

I've corresponded with both Collin and Dave on Montana bands. What they've come up with on their Lost Sounds facebook page is incredible, especially as 10 years ago most of us would have written off Montana as a rich source of '60s music.

There's nothing wrong with their approach to getting their record funded. It's not "begging". How many record labels are dying to release a compilation of Montana bands, anyway? No one has done it before, so don't say they should just turn all this material over to some other label. I've offered labels plenty of unreleased stuff but have had all of one taker for one song.

Lost Sounds are going to do a fantastic job and create a definitive history on the scene. If $7,000 is more than they need for one LP, I'm sure they'll put any extra money towards their ongoing project.

wrong...they are beggers/panhandlers. You and Mike seem to be the only ones who like their approach. I hope they have some killer stuff. I'll be the first in line. But so far they seem unwilling to give us a track listing, even if it is incomplete. If someone came to me with a lot of cool stuff from Montana I would release it in a second. And It would cost me less than $1500 to release it.

Finally...somebody else who doesn't see this project as a spawn of Satan. Well said, Chris.

Joey Frantic and Mop Top don't understand how this type of funding works. You're asking people you know and people who are interested to TRUST you to do the right thing and accomplish your goal. If you fail to deliver, people know that you've failed, and it's your own reputation and/or conscience that will suffer.

Then at least put up a list of the bands on the cd/lp!!!! So far for all we know it's 90% covers. I've asked them 3 times for a list to no avail. And I have seen them online since and I know they saw my requests.

Not my responsibilty to follow other peoples reputations. And I have a hard enough time with my own conscience to worry about someone else's....ha!

If Tim Warren had 25 unreleased/unknown garage punkers and he was in a iron lung and he had no money and he started this type of program to release a new GRAVE, I would gladly give him the money. And buy him booze.

And Becca and many others.

Another reason for these campaigns is it generates interest. With Kickstarter, people watch to see if someone makes their goal (and thus gets funded). These things make a story out of the whole production. It's a bit of hype, sure, but it will probably help them sell twice as many copies as they would with a simple announcement of release. They've already got all of this forum's ear now.

By the way...I just read 1/2 of the worst book on 60's music ever written!!! EVER!!! I can go no further. I won't give the title unless the majority (at least 10 members) of you ask for the name. But if and when I do, please go easy on me for letting the cat outta the bag

There is one member here who might get mad at me, so I hope he asks for the name. That way I won't feel so bad.

That's good. I was worried it was my book, "Kazoology - How The Kazoo Changed 60s Garage Rock Forever". But now I know it can't be, thank goodness.

I believe that my proposed three volume set - "The History of the New Vaudeville Band" - could be the book Joey is talking about I can take the heat - when you uncover controversial new facts like I did - such as Tommy Hall demanding that the Elevators listen to the NVB while taking LSD - and in volume 2, subtitled "The NVB and the roots of Hip-Hop" I disclose how Kool Herc wore out numerous NVB records in his early DJ gigs. Volume 3, still in the early stages, will be called "The NVB - first Indie Rock band"

NOPE...Not even close. This book came out in the last 6 months. I sure hope at least 10 people demand I tell them the name so I can save them $20. It is so unbelievably bad.
