UNKNOWN GROUP

LONELY / SOLO

2 SIDED ACETATE DUBPLATE

BROADWAY RECORDING STUDIOS INC.

circa late 60s or early 70s

PROMO

Click and listen to our lo-fi soundclip / mp3 of both sides

Unique and rare 2sided acetate dubplate. A total mystery to us as we have no idea who the artist or group is. Haunting and trippy progressive pop music featuring English and Italian vocals with aor psych cum hippie folk influences of the period. An obscure demo by a band from the UK (maybe USA) or Italian scene. A bewitching slice of rock psychedelia with accomplished musicianship and instrumentation. The "Lonely" side with its superb moody rhythms is sung in English and the "Solo" side, in Italian. Melodic, progressive and private press sounding with beautiful piano / organ - mellotron / fender bass / guitar and cool drums with hip hop tempo beats in places. This is a very interesting item for collectors (and compilers if unreleased). Our mono acetate has generic Broadway Recording Studios Inc. labels with typed titles. The original publisher was Chappell New York NYC but schoolboy error spelling mistakes on the label indicate to us that this was most probably recorded with label info added later, in Italy. Anyone recognise the songs we have recorded for our soundclip? Possible one-of-a-kind / inedit item. Never seen before ;)

Our record grading: SEALED / M- / VG++ / VG+ / VG
RECORD - shiny, strong VG++ overall, regardless of some faint hairlines or faint light scuffs from storage / disc cut loud with big production sound / light background noises and some soft ticks in places but to be expected for such an item / some faint old pressing residue from the original pressing process 
SLEEVE - not graded - original generic factory sleeve has general wear / item from the archive of an important record label who had offices in Milan, hence the archive stickers and notations, front and back / hand written address details to one side

LABEL - small old sticker with deletion notation to both sides / natural age discoloration / faint old dirt marks cum mottled staining from storage



After a 2 year gap, Pourquoi Moi Vintage is back :)
