weird new Michigan comp

[The Raven]

i couldnt decide where this might fit on the forum or not, but here goes nothin:
an interesting new comp of early/mid 70's Michigan stuff just came out, though there doesn't seem to be a track list posted online for the thing anywhere - its called Michigan Meltdown and its on a label called Coney Dog Records

not sure if i need this record or not, as it might be in a more 70s punk bag or maybe even could be one of the 'hoax' albums of fake 'old' bands that are actually modern in disguise, but, no matter what this is, if someone could post up a track list here for it thatd be crucial

oh, and heres a catalogue listing for it w/ cover pic and such:

For a sample - check out Astaroth here...the sound files still work - thanks to Brad H's quicktime embeds

The Almanack record is a cover of Lee Michaels* so you get the picture of what this will be like

* first (and probably last!) mention of Lee Michaels on this forum, I believe....

Great! I have a really hard time tracking down 45s like these from the 70s. Great to have some bandnames to search for.

 

[The Raven]

wow! awesome, thanks Green Fuzz for the tracklist, and with a recomendation from the Buckeye this will surely enter my collection....but im slightly bummed that Salem Witchcraft's goofy-but-great "Rock 'N' Roll Lover" isn't on here

 

[The Raven]

and i cant forget, thanks to Joey also for the reccomendation :-)

Should be a few copies up for grabs on the 'bay.

i found a distro where you can buy it direct:

http://www.midheaven.com/item/michi...ks-from-the-mitten-states-milken-era-by-va-lp

in the description there it's described as "post-garage" and having heard it (and sending a spare copy to FRANTIC) i'd tend to agree. regardless, i think it's a solid document and am pining HARD for a copy of the Flying Wedge single.

 

[depravedskippy66]

Highly recommended. Emphasis is definitely on the heavier side of the spectrum, with some of the tracks sporting fashionable darker/satanic themes. If you can, look at it as the US counterpart to the Do What Thou Wilt comp from the UK that came out earlier this year.

Where can I hear some samples of this comp? 'Heavy', 'satanic', 'occult',... sounds nice!

 

[pfft]

There's a 2nd volume out!

I dug vol. 1 a lot, so I'm really looking forward to this. Check out the TNS track here:

It's a ripper!

Space Rock "Going Down the Road" is bonehead genius.
The flip is killer, too.
I'll post some sound later.

 

[Mr.Segment]

Looks great! All unehard except for the TNS track which is a killer.

The only way is up after volume 1.

Hi Brad.. I'm also in Michigan. New to collecting & selling records. Just got a Lott of a 1000 45s. Do you have a price list for old records?
