The Gentle Soul "The Gentle Soul were the singing-songwriting duo of Pamela Polland and Rick Stanley, and made one LP for Epic in 1968 that bridged the folk-rock and singer-songwriter/soft rock eras. The self-titled album, despite coming out on a major label, is extremely rare, and has never been issued on CD" until now that is,

arrangements by Jack Nitzsche. £12.99. And, The Cyrkle - 'The Minx Soundtrack'

This first-ever legitimate reissue—created from the original master tapes, and with the full participation of the band members—adds 8 bonus tracks to the ultra-rare original album!"

"When the Midas touch Hall Of Fame producer / songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller launched their own record labels—Daisy and Tiger—in 1963, the quality of the ensuing singles was a given. They were bound to be knockouts. From Dee Dee Warwick and Bessie Banks to Alvin Robinson and Roy Buchanan, everything on the label was dripping with the magic Leiber & Stoller had woven so well with previous chart-topping acts like the Coasters, the Drifters and the Clovers.
The Daisy/Tiger Records Story features every single track released by Daisy and Tiger, all from the original master tapes, plus—for the first time ever—three previously unissued alternate

Brothers", "The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard And Clark", "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and the International Submarine Band's "Safe At Home" being perhaps the best known candidates behind all this however, are the experiments coming from the "Country" rather than the "Rock" Direction and "Nashville West" is one of the best of those A 1967 live recording of Clarence White's legendary group outside of their session-playing dayjobs at Bakersfield International
studios. Featuring Clarence White Gene Parsons, Cajun fiddler Gib Guilbeau, and Wayne Moore....this is a record that should be owned by any fan of the Byrds, the Flying Burrito

The
Wizards From Kansas "These guys sorta
combined mid-period Airplane and Quicksilver inflections, with a healthy dose and understanding of country music" (From borderlinebooks.com:)

The band exhibited a fine range of harmonies, and were indeed from Kansas! The album is recommended and is a significant minor collectable"
