Howdy! Uncle Ignatz here, depping for FT3 on this fine, fine Sat'dy morning! Th' swamp's steaming and Cousin Willard's out clubbing catfish fer breakfast! Clubs the critters twice, once for each head! Heh heh! Set awhile! Now what we have to talk about today is those albums you buy when there's nothing else in the crates but Firefall and The Babys, and you don't want to go home empty-handed. Happens to us all, son! Got us a couple of swell examples here.

Openers by The Hot Soup. Prime period piece from '69, on the prestigious Rama Rama label. Boy howdy! Now I never heard of this puppy a'fore I pulled it from the pile down at the General Store Head Shop here in downtown Okefenokee, and if I never hear it again it'll be too soon. G'wan! Take it! You know you want it! Next up is ... wait a second ... my eyes ain't what they were, and these psychedelic spectacles don't help much, that's for sure ...

The Sundae Times. Now this one is of some interest. Us Coloured Kids. On the British Joy label, again from '69. Joy was like the British equivalent of Rama Rama, I'm guessing. It's got Eddy Grant on it. But it's also got Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels and Conrad Isidore, who were good enough to get their next gig with Stephen Stills. Fuzzy went on to record with CSNY. How bad can this album be? I don't think Stills ever heard it. G'wan - take it and beat it! Here's Cousin Willard with the breakfast!
