Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 105CD

"Best known as a stellar songwriter ('Tobacco Road,' 'The Lament of the Cherokee Indian Reservation,' 'The Little Bird,' 'Break My Mind' etc etc, ad infinitum) John D. Loudermilk was also an accomplished, inspiring singer-songwriter before the term even existed. Remastered and restored, this album is presented here for the first time on CD.

Artist:	BARE, BOBBY
Title:	A Bird Named Yesterday/Talk Me Some Sense
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 106CD

"Bobby Bare is, in some ways, a deceptive artist. His smooth, beguiling baritone and accomplished Countrypolitan productions sometimes tend to overshadow the fact that he is an artist of immense substance. Two of his most impressive country-concept albums are presented here, restored and remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes, with a number of rare extra tracks. A Bird Named Yesterday was originally issued in 1967 and is, quite simply, stunning. 'Somebody Bought My Old Hometown' is probably the closest Nashville has ever come to an anti-corporate diatribe and 'They Covered Up the Old Swimming Hole' is a rant against the urban sprawl disguised as charming hick nostalgia. Most tracks make their first appearance on CD including a number of very rare 45-only cuts! A mighty and compelling collection. First time on CD! Deluxe collector's 16-page full color package featuring original LP artwork and exclusive liner notes. All tracks were remastered in 2006 from the original master tapes!"

Artist:	BLANCHARD/MISTY MORGAN, JACK
Title:	Weird Scenes Inside The Birdhouse
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 107CD

"In the mid-1970s, we encountered a warmer and wiser Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. Still producing fabulous oddball flourishes like 'The Cockroach Stomp' and 'Cows,' but now a little something new was brewing -- majesty and grandeur! Witness the astounding, lush string arrangements on 'Carolina Sundown Red,' 'Something On Your Mind' and 'Just One More Song' and the fantastic one-two punch of 'Down To The End Of The Wine' and 'Here Today And Gone Tomorrow.' Lovingly remastered, with five previously unreleased demo recordings (circa 1975) and an extensive booklet featuring unpublished photos and metaphysical commentaries from Jack Blanchard himself. All tracks make their first appearance here on CD."

Artist:	TRYTHALL, GIL
Title:	Country Moog/Nashville Gold
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 108CD

"In 1971, experimental music composer Gil Trythall was commissioned by Athena Records to record a Switched On Bach for 'country folk.' The resulting 1972 album, Country Moog is certainly unlike anything ever heard before (or since, for that matter). Equal parts virtuosic musicianship, bizarre musique concrete effects and just plain entertaining, the original album spawned a sequel, Nashville Gold, and was cited by Bob Moog as one of his favorite Moog recordings. Both albums are included here for their first appearance on CD with a number of rare or previously unreleased tracks. Deluxe collector's 16-page full color package featuring exclusive liner notes, historical photos and recollections from Gil Trythall himself. All tracks are remastered 2007 from the original master tapes."

Artist:	HAACK, BRUCE
Title:	The Electric Lucifer
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 110CD

"Bruce Haack's The Electric Lucifer is rightly considered one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music. Originally recorded in 1968-69 (released in 1970), it's an eminently listenable work where pop-psychedelia and Moog/musique concrete sounds coalesce. Acclaimed upon its original release (one of Rolling Stone's favorite albums of 1970) yet unavailable for over three decades, The Electric Lucifer is presented here for the first time on CD. Remastered and restored from the original master tapes and featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks. Deluxe packaging, 24-page full-color booklet with exclusive notes, rare photos and interviews."

Artist:	JEAN, NORMA
Title:	I Guess That Comes From Being Poor
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 111CD

"If talent and sincerity brought fame then everyone would know her name. Instead today Norma Jean is unjustly considered little more than a footnote in country music history. These fine recordings tell of a much greater story. By 1972, the spotlight had waned for Norma Jean, but it's also the year that she recorded her greatest album, the country-concept opus I Guess That Comes From Being Poor. Remastered and presented for the first time on CD, with highlights from the excellent Body And Mind and Another Man Loved Me Last Night LPs. Singing from the heart about her own humble beginnings and often troubled life, Norma Jean delivered stinging tales in a soaring voice and a sugar coating. Deluxe packaging, 16-page full color booklet with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	REYNOLDS, MALVINA
Title:	Malvina Reynolds
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 112CD

"Malvina Reynolds was the grooviest grandma to ever strut across the folk singer stage. At the ripe age of 70 (in 1970) she joined forces with members of The Byrds, The Dillards, The Sunshine Company, producer Alex Hassilev (of fabulous folkies The Limeliters) and others to cut her self-titled psych-protest opus. With a heart of gold and an acid tongue, Malvina wraps her creaking, aching voice around the hot topics at the close of the tumultuous 1960s. Rounding out the collection are a handful of extremely rare 45-only cuts, alternate versions and six astounding previously-unreleased tracks. Lovingly remastered from the original tapes, all selections make their first appearance on CD here. Deluxe packaging, 16-page full color booklet with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	HAACK, BRUCE
Title:	Haackula
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 117CD

"Deemed to be too dark and offensive for release when it was recorded in 1978 and bootlegged ever since, this is the first official release of Haackula. Haack's anger with society is palpable as he hisses and cusses his way over elastic electronic backings. Imagine a very, very bummed-out Kraftwerk scowling as they play childlike melodies and sing under their breath of fear and abandonment. Also included for the first time is Haack's extraordinary 1982 collaboration with Russell Simmons on the track 'Party Machine' and the incredible 32-minute soundscape of 'Icarus' from 1979. All tracks make their first official release here and are lovingly remastered from the original tapes. Includes liner notes, photos and full lyrics."

Artist:	WAGONER, PORTER
Title:	The Cold Hard Facts Of Life/Soul Of A Convict
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 118CD

"Here for the first time on one CD are two of his very finest 'concept' albums (both originally issued in 1967) The Cold Hard Facts Of Life and Soul Of A Convict plus a number of rare 45-only tracks and versions. Superb showmanship and earth-cracking sincerity abound as Porter's cast of inebriates, cutthroats and troubled souls are captured on wax in all their moribund glory. Remastered from the original tapes and complete with original artwork and exclusive liner notes, these albums were recorded at a time of great tumult in Porter's personal and professional life and are without doubt the darkest jewels in country music's crown. 30 tracks on one CD including the hits 'The Cold Hard Facts Of Life,' 'Julie,' and 'Be Proud Of Your Man.'"

Artist:	AXTON, HOYT
Title:	My Griffin Is Gone
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 119CD

"Today Hoyt Axton is perhaps best known as the writer of such great songs as 'Greenback Dollar' (The Kingston Trio), 'The Pusher' (Steppenwolf) and 'Joy To The World' (Three Dog Night). Among the best of his records would be My Griffin Is Gone, his 1969 psych-folk opus. Running the gamut from pastoral musings like 'Way Before The Time Of Towns' to harrowing anti-war ruminations ('Beelzebub's Laughter') and moving meditations on drug abuse ('Snowblind Friend') the album was written and recorded during a time of personal hardship and LSD experimentation. This newly expanded edition features four mind-blowing tracks only available on 45 before and eight previously-unreleased tracks! Remastered in 2008 from the original Columbia master tapes with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	CLAYTON, PAUL
Title:	Sings Homemade Songs And Ballads/Folk Singer!
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 120CD

"The late Paul Clayton is the great 'could have been' of folk music -- the 'missing link' between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Possessed of a strong voice and driving intellect he spent many years researching traditional songs and writing his own superb originals. Bizarrely neglected by history, Clayton is often cited for his profound inspiration on Bob Dylan yet his own sterling and pivotal recordings are all but forgotten. Among his varied and splendid discography the two LPs he cut for Monument Records are rightly considered the best and are presented here for the first time in over four decades. 28 remastered tracks from 1959-1965 released on CD for the first time. Includes four non LP singles."

Artist:	ROSE, BIFF
Title:	Biff Rose
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 121CD

"Biff Rose is well known as a wordsmith, satirist and vivid prankster. A 'flower-power' Tom Lehrer exploding across rollicking canvases of song best illustrated on his 1968 album The Thorn In Mrs. Rose's Side and 1969's Children Of Light. What is far less well known is that Biff Rose also had a serious side. Divorced and cast adrift his self-titled 1970 album is solemn, heartfelt and an undiscovered gem in his catalog. Grand orchestrations swirl around lyrics awash with loss and contemplation as they ride above Biff's dexterous tickling of the ivories. 14 tracks remastered and on CD for the first time."

Artist:	MONTENEGRO, HUGO
Title:	Mr. Groovy
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 122CD

"Gratuitous guru of the groovy glee-club, Hugo Montenegro created hipster fuzz-Moog lounge renditions of late 1960s pop confections and his own film score masterpieces. Best known for his 1968 worldwide #1 hit version of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' here we present 29 tracks of an even groovier side of Montenegro. You've never heard the themes from Rosemary's Baby and The Godfather swing like this, or 'My Way' get funked and Moog-ed out of sight like this. Songs include: 'Classical Gas,' 'Hang 'Em High,' 'Good Vibrations,' 'Hair/Aquarius,' 'Happy Together,' 'Theme From Valley Of The Dolls,' 'Our Man Flint,' 'Dizzy, Bitter Love,' 'Theme From The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,' 'Touch Me,' 'Love Is Blue' and many others. Remastered with a 20-page booklet."
