New HereThe Paradox...There's a Flower Shop

 

[Charles Pendelton]

I am very interested in the Rubber Bands, please send me a PM

If anyone out there has The Rubber Bands "Bubble Tree" single, could you please paste an unsullied copy of the audio file? It is one of my favorite garage songs, and every copy is barely audible!

From what I've heard, all copies sound terrible.

From what I've heard, all copies sound terrible.

Maybe a disc mastering/tape bias error like The Caretakers 45 on Worm? Too bad because The Rubber/Bubber Bands disc is such a cool 'n' cryptic record.

I surmise that the songs were mastered direct off an acetate / lacquer that had been played several times - not from a tape source.
The playback sound quality is far too poor to have been caused by regular needle / playback wear on a vinyl pressed 45.
Mastering from a lacquer was a cheap option.

Rite pressing plant would accept acetates or tapes. I believe that on Rite pressings, the designation OM meant that the source sent a acetate from which was directly used to make the first stamping plate that made the 'mother' disk.

A classic example of this (to my ears) is the Head and the Hares 45 on H&H, has the played acetate hiss all the way through.

The Roots "Been a long journey" sounds like there was a problem in the tape recording (or playback) like the head(s) were out of alignment. Would like to know what the true cause of the swooshing sound was.

 

[MopTopMike]

Head & The Hares, the Renegades on Polaris, The Stoics are three hissy playback examples caused by mastering from a lacquer.
The Revens "For You" on Night Owl is one of the worst mastering jobs I've heard, Jim Kirchstein must've been on vacation or out of the office on that day.

Jesus (ha!) that thing is getting common! Have you come across the recently discovered 7 inch anywhere? Probably not huh...

 

[Frantic]

Maybe the only time OMG can be used here w/o blushing. W.O.W.

I looked for this record for 20 years, now I've found 2 Near Mint to Mint copies in 2 years both for less than 1 buck. Double W.O.W.

 

[StuShea]

Picked up the Forgoten Tymes, the Chy Guys, and U.B.'s Group yesterday at a junk shop for a quarter apiece. Life is weird.

Thrift stores have all but dried up around here.
One local record store had a box of 25-centers "for decorative use only". Mostly shitty country and 80s rock, but this was in there as well...the Cutaways' "You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind".

Reviving this old thread I started eons ago.
I found this today.
The Sunn - How Does It Feel / Walk On By Hiperbolic Records.

Walk On By has an Eastern vibe going on then rather traditional arrangements for the vocal parts then back to the trippy eastern bits.
Other side has Fuzz guitar, Hammond organ?, Youngsters with a late 60s sound

Can't find anything about them Except maybe from Florida.

Anyone know more?

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Thanks Frantic. You just gave me some wall melting flashbacks.

I'd like to think same band but probably not? Your Sunn Cycle out acid The Sunn but they still have a strong tickle of lsd inspiration.
I'll upload some sound soon so you can Pooh Pooh how lame it is .
