It's 1970! Just Time To Record That One-Off Album Before Everybody Forgets What The Sixties Were For!

Wild Butter were straight outta Akron, OH. One of these guys went on to play with post-whatever artrockers Tin Huey, the others warped to a parallel dimension and set up a vinyl upholstery repair franchise. Their album is Prime Foam, being swell and unknown.


The Wizards From Kansas
were from Kansas!  They were called Pig Newton before the record company made them change their name. The album - swell - sounds like it was recorded in San Francisco because it was.
Not untypically, by the time the album came out the band weren't around anymore, and neither were the 'sixties.

  2. Happy Boitday, youse bum! Pig Newton would've been a grand name. Hope you're having fun on your big day. I lived on The Farm for a while in the early 70s. I was 15. They didn't have what they called "Ego Celebrations". They didn't have much of anything except 30k overnight visitors a year who stayed for free. Hence, we didn't have much of anything. I still have most.....

  9. Birthday? I don't think so: you seem ageless to me.

    Anywaytho', thanks for yet another spiffing recommendation . . . (the Wild Butts, not so much) . . . a copy of the Wizards' LP is heading my way from Cheshire, wherever that is, as I type.

    Keep it up.

    Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.
