Artist:	TRIMBLE, BOBB
Title:	Jupiter Transmission
Label:	PARALLEL WORLD
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PW CD1

Bobb made a couple of weird psych-folk LPs at the dawn of the 80s that mixed Jandek-like visual obliqueness with a fragile, damaged, light-carousing psych that melted down a lot of psych dealers for years. This CD rescues the "best" of the 2 LPs, with restored master tape sound, nice booklet with lyrics, etc. I'm not sure the cleaned up sound is a positive move, as much of the murk 'n mystery of this guy has been wiped away. But at least now you can tell what he looks like.

"A delicate, unsettling dip into a boiling pool of subconscious imagery and otherworldly pixie vocalism. The best tracks cause ripples in the space/time continuum. Bobb Trimble's first album appeared like a ghost that had slipped through reality's curtain. Impossible to place inside any rational context, the music and voices seem to have been created inside your head and indeed, maybe they were." --Byron Coley.

Catalog #:	SC 163CD

A cross between extreme gentility and musical savagery that will have you growing horns out of your own forehead, if not used carefully. Without its few contemporary style-nods, you would never guess the album was originally released in 1982. One of the decade's best albums, filled with a mysterious charm that grows with each listen."--Byron Coley.

Title:	The Crippled Dog Band
Label:	YOGA RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	Y 007CD

The year was 1983, and Bobb Trimble had two then-unrecognized masterpieces to his credit and a lot of confusion and indifference from his fellow travelers in the Worcester, MA "Wormtown" scene. Never one to worry much about appearances, Bobb accepted an invitation to join a group of teenage boys who called themselves The Crippled Dog Band, named after Boopsie, a three-legged canine local. Bobb donned the title of Chief Crippled Dog and led the Band on enthusiastically-received gigs throughout the region. Unbeknownst to almost anyone, they completed a raucous album full of addictive hooks, feedback, teen chatter and video game noises. But soon the Band splintered and Bobb decided to forget about the whole thing, disposing of the entire 500-count LP pressing in an office park dumpster. All of which would be nothing more than a typically weird footnote to the Bobb Trimble legend, except for the fact that The Crippled Dog Band is very different from, but every bit as remarkable and brilliant as Iron Curtain Innocence and Harvest Of Dreams. Having proved himself, if only to himself, this is where Bobb stops chasing glass menagerie fantasies of perfection, tempers the dread of his first two records, and reconnects with his DIY roots. This unique collaboration between "the greatest psychedelic musician of the '80s" and his scrappy acolytes yields pure rock and roll and the effect is raw, crazy, and infectiously exciting.
