Label:	MR. NOBODY RECORDS
Format:	CD

Catalog #:	NOBODY 001CD

Reissue of this obscure Theremin album, originally issued by Warner Bros, 1962. "The music of whirling satellites, brilliant galaxies, streaming comets, mysterious planets, and the eerie reaches of space in-between -- all these take on startling musical and dramatic life in this remarkable suite by Frank Comstock. One of the world's most inventive arrangers, Comstock has outdone himself, as his subject gives him light years of latitude to create a new kind of music. In this Space Age it is natural that the creative talents of our day want to leave the Mississippi mud to rocket out through the stars. That's exactly what Frank Comstock permits us to do here. He sets the theme with the first band -- 'Out of This World' -- and from that point on we can galaxy-hop with him in as original a set of musical arrangements as has ever been recorded. Sound effects have been sparingly used, since Comstock considers himself a man of music, not a man of electronic gimmickry. Aside from the sound of giant rocket blast off (one sure to give hi-fi fans the shivers) and some out-of-this-world 'beep-beeps' the evocation of the frontiers of space has been left to Comstock's arrangements and the very talented company of musicians in his orchestra. Frank Comstock, who composed three original numbers to complete this suite of twelve impressions -- 'On the Dark Side of the Moon,' 'Journey to Infinity' and 'Galaxy' -- has an impressive list of musical credits to his name. Although this is his first spatial journey on records, Comstock is well-known within the more earthly realms as a film arranger (from April in Paris to The Music Man), long-time recording musical director for such artists as the Hi-Lo's, and arranger for such dance bands as Les Brown's. This highly compressed list of names gives only the vaguest sort of hint of the vast background to Frank Comstock; he has arranged for well over a thousand recording sessions alone. Originally released 1962. This is the greatest Theremin LP ever."

Artist:	HASKELL AND HIS ORCHESTRA, JIMMIE
Title:	Count Down!
Label:	MR. NOBODY RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	NOBODY 002CD

First reissue of this album, originally released in 1959. "Legendary late '50s outer space rock & roll album with some theremin and other novel electronic and 'talking alien' effects. A lot of novelty rock 45's with space themes were released during this era but very few full-length albums and this is undoubtedly the best of them all. Man, this thing is cool. Originals were released in both mono and stereo but the stereo version is watered down in comparison, so keep that in mind. This is the much superior mono mix of the LP. That's Jimmie himself on the cover playing his own homemade synthesizer thingy."

Artist:	POE
Title:	Up Through the Spiral
Label:	MR. NOBODY RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	NOBODY 004CD

"Up Through The Spiral, a concept album inspired by the philosophy and dreams of Edgar Cayce. From the heavy psych of 'Tune In' to the years ahead of it's time 'Automatic Writing,' POE's Up Through The Spiral will have you scratching your brain in amazement at this truly 1971 hard and heavy psychedelic trip through the mind of the Edgar Cayce and of course POE from McAllen, Texas. The CD also contains all 14 songs released between 1965 and 1970 by their earlier incarnation The Playboys Of Edinburg."

Artist:	VIC TRIGGER BAND
Title:	Electronic Wizard
Label:	MR. NOBODY RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	NOBODY 005CD

"San Jose California's Vic Trigger Band released their lone album Electronic Wizard in 1977. With it's wasted, phased out vocals and wall of heavy guitars, the boys should have been household names. Instead, they sank without a trace. Let's hope that this time the Vic Trigger Band finally catch the prize. Their LP sells in the $250-$300 range when one happens to come on the market. Fans of druggy, wasted, psychy heavy hard rock will have to have this one. As one Vic Trigger song aptly puts it, 'Get High And Space Out.' Oh yeah, it sports one of the great evil & dark LP covers of the '70s."
