Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of

armstrod, i saw o positive in boston (the ratskeller maybe?) and they were great-i still remember 'em from 30 years ago. the throbbing lobster label was the place to be back then. any memory of the primotons or cowboy mouth (different from the louisiana band of the same name; this was insanely hooky devo-ish pop with weird synth parts).

Phasecorrect, don't know about all that, but more importantly still has the Minnesota and St.Paul Chamber bands , the U and Macalester.
Plus many Hmong beauties which even Toronto doesn't have !

Hahaaaa...nice...boggles my mine when someone says they have never had pho...its breakfast food in Nam...cheap, flavorful, with variety options... Good stuff...too bad the weather in MSP is dreadful....

It's an LP of 1959 field recordings of obscure Mississippi bluesmen. The performances are raw and electrifying. Even better, its a superb recording. On the right gear you can hear birds chattering in the trees way off to the side, seemingly from outside your room, on one track. On another you can hear the floorboards creaking under the musician. There's a duet between a fiddle player and guitar player that has such precise images that you can perceive them moving about slightly during the song. The last song on the second side is an astounding recording of a music therapy session in a mental hospital.

Field recording title? Label?
