Released projects on CD

R_D CD 6 New Age - All Around 

(Pat Kilroy, Susan Graubard, Jeffrey Stewart)

This is what can be called one of the major sensations in the raga influenced “Psychedelic/Acid Folk” field. Also some of the earliest recordings in this genre and hitherto unreleased.

After the release of the "Light of Day" album in 1966 the now legendary Pat Kilroy and Susan Graubard went on with playing and creating music together. What you hear on this album is what they recorded for Warner Brothers in the summer of 1967, a true groundbreaking adventure of the highest order. They expanded in the direction they started in 1966 and the result is far beyond and superior to everything I heard from that time period before in this musical style except for Tim Buckley. No wonder that it didn't come out at that time because those recordings were for sure far too adventurous for Warner Brothers and also for almost other leading music companies at the time. Incredible - and I mean INCREDIBLE raga influenced Psychedelic/Acid Folk with some of the best songwriting I know of with monstrous lyrics and deep lead vocals. Also a wide range of instruments were played like incredible raga-esque acoustic guitar, electric bass, Spanish cowbells, bell tree, silver flute, bamboo flutes, viola, tamboura, conga drums, tables, acoustic and electric bass and tambourine. Pat Kilroy sadly died of Hodgkin’s disease in December of 1967 at a very young age. If this record had a proper release at the time, it would be a major classic and a milestone today in the psychedelic history book.

This CD-Release contains six superb never before released Bonus-Tracks recorded at Warner Brothers Studios and KPFA-FM Radio Station during 1967. 

Be ready for an incredible musical trip along with an amazing, long and very intense story behind.

R_D CD 5  Mad Dog - Dawn Of The Seventh Sun

Basically the same release as RD 12 with an additional track that Morgan Cavett and Howard Leese composed in 1970 as soundtrack for a (to my knowledge) unreleased movie.

This is the album that was supposed to come out on Capitol Records in 1970 but was shelved due to management changing. It first came out on this label on vinyl (R_D 5) and now on CD with a different front and back cover but with the same songs. (See the comment under R_D 5)
