RARE MP3 MUSIC

"Froggie Beaver" is not just an excellent name for any band, but its name just seems to sum up this US Prog/Psych rock band. They were only around for three years, but somehow managed to convey a real cool sound to their catchy songs. They have an excellent tempo and the writing is clear & concise. Trust me when I say this is really rather fine piece of work and it's a shame that this was their only album from 1973. Again grab get this quirky, yet charming album HERE first .

Dig this folks. Want 83 Beatles discs. Well get yourself along to here today. I could post them, but hey, why steal someone else's sunshine. I would rather give them & all of you it. If you don't have a rapidshare premium account, then it will take you around 21 hours to get them. ie one download every 15 minutes. Still to work away at them is definitely a challenge in itself. This will literally be 'A Hard Day's Night"...

This sole, eponymous album by 60's American super cool psychedelic rock band "Music Emporium", is another lost treasure that has a very good feel to it. This is one for the serious collector containing 10 of the original tracks. A special CD with 5 bonus tracks, instrumentals of 5 of these 10 tracks, was released on Sundaze records in 2001. FYI, two blogs featured this album recently, but the link is dead on one & the other blog has been removed. So grab it here folks.

Here at RARE MP3, we try to strive to bring y'all different flavors and styles of music, but concentrating on one vital fact - it has to be rare. And this album "The Golden Country" by New Weird America band "Deek Hoi" is most rare indeed, even though it was released in 2007. This short album is an eclectic mix of pychedelic folk and unusual languidness. It is hard to put a genre on this band; its casual lyrics are deep and powerful, but the singer has a nonchelant detachment from the whole chilled out experience. Anyway, this album may not be everyone's cup of tea, because this album is for Zer0_II over at Digital Meltd0wn, who not only has it on his wishlist and does great work maintaining his blogroll, music blog & forum for many of us and posting other people's requests that I hope this satisfies his wants for a change. So this one is for you dude and thanks for allowing me to help you out. You deserve it. Get this here FIRST again folks.

"Solaris" are a progressive rock band from Hungary, taking their name from novel by sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem. And "Martian Chronicles", its title taken from a novel from sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury, is an absolute masterpiece, incorporating a subtle blend of symphonic rock & awesome orchestral accompaniments. This is one album everyone has to listen to before they get abducted by aliens. Prepare to be blown away with this album.

The psychedelic album "The American Metaphysical Circus" is a trippy fusion of rock, jazz and pop. It was ahead of its time and a very controversial album in its day. Out of print and in vogue, "Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies" is a must have for the 60's collector man. I also cannot tell the trouble I had not just converting it, but my download service getting it to bite. Even when I ripped it, it still seemed to be somewhat encrypted. Anyway, I think it's fine now @ 320kbps and I am posting this as the only other blogger who posted this (Heli0tr0pe) over at heavysugarradio is showing a 404 and the megaupload link has been removed. Therefore, you can only get it here folks. Any problems please let me know. Enjoy.

"Introspection" by US 60's psychedelic rock band "Faine Jade" is not just a highly sought after piece of music history, but a legendary album also.

"Nina & The Dream Tree" is a very rare and very lovely album by British folk singer/songwriter "Andy Roberts", and was released on Pegasus in 1971. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including 'Pink Floyd', not that you can tell here. His work has been described as an early 'Elton John' and is a joy to listen to. So, you know what I'm gonna say - grab this one here again FIRST folks. I don't need to mention this, but extra notes are usually included.

This self-titled album by Canadian psychedelic rock band "Aaron Space" from 1972 is a very rare and obscure album, that just has to be heard.

"A Band Called O" formerly called 'Parlour Band', were a rock band that hailed from the Channel Island of Jersey. They were actually one of the late, great John Peel's favorite bands and their brand of smooth soft rock has a real unpretentious flavor. Often called 'O-Band', 'Within Reach' is their third album from 1976 and has excellent harmonies, cool riffs and lovely vocals. All together making this a very worthwhile album.

"Slide On This" is the fifth studio album by Rolling Stone "Ronnie Wood" from 1992. It's global sales were very poor at the time, therefore making it pretty rare. I am very surprised about this albums history, because it not only shows sound writing, but an excellent demonstration of his singing ability also. This post is for loopy who left a request at hitmewitit. Tune in dude. Please remember to support the artists !

"Airlord" were a progressive rock band from New Zealand from the late 70's. "Clockwork Revenge" is a deleted album and very rare and was the bands only, but epic album. It starts out with what sounds a bit of a cacophony, mutating in to a very theatrical track and finishing off with excellent prog rock. If you get through this first track, then you will then appreciate the rest of the album. It has excellent guitar solos and can be quite freaky in places, but has a uniqueness that makes it unmissable.

01. Clockwork Revenge (6:36)
02. Pictures In A Puddle (4:01)
03. Ladies Of The Night (9:40)
04. Earthborn Pilgrim (4:55)

06. Is It Such A Dream (5:08)
07. You Might Even Be (4:23)

"Hustler" were a UK hard rock band active from the late 70's to early 80's kicking out some punchy sounds. "High Street" is a solid piece of work and deserves a good listen. This one is on request from Lord Haw Haw.

Hey folks, only me. I am going to post the second rare radio recording of Gordon Lightfoot on 'Westwood One', California recorded on 1 September 1986. Gordon celebrated his 70th birthday yesterday, and therefore it seems fitting to round off this music hero's' legacy with this. I also would like to draw true fans of Gord's music to comments left in my previous posts from the moderator of a Lightfoot community.

The album "Phoenix" by now American actor & producer "Jason D. Holt", born Daniel Tsadik Vodianoy, was a demo only release back in 1979. And it is very rare on vinyl. It was recorded between 1976-78 and there is a lot of cello, excellent guitar work and poignant lyrics on this album to keep you hooked. Incidently this guy was somewhat of a child prodigy, learning piano, cello and guitar all by the age of 12 and he even befriended "Elvis" & "Tom Jones". and he has also worked with Cat Stevens. He has a very distinctive, yet appealing voice and mixes it up with rock & folk, making this a very worthwhile listen. GET it here FIRST.

I offer up a rare Gordon Lightfoot Radio Broadcast from 1983, when he appeared on 'Westwood One', Culver City, California. This is a one hour broadcast where we get to learn more about this folk singers' music and how he perceives himself. This is a very personal and frank discussion with many beautiful tracks featuring throughout. For the true fan.Please refer to comments section of recent Lightfoot post to learn how to be part of the Gordon Lightfoot community. I was also informed that Gordon actually turned 70 today. Nice one Gord.

Well, if you good folks are ready and are not lagging behind too much, I hope y'all ready for my next slice of pie. "The Light Is Dark Enough" offers us a plethora of yummy psychedelic pop by "Spectrum" from 1970 and is very rare. A fellow blogger Lisa posted this back in January and the links are long dead. So I have made this my mission for some time now, not just to satisfy my curiosity, but to kill two birds with one stone, as this album is also on J. Richter's wishlist. And I know he will do anything to have this. And since he is also a collector of rare music ... well you get the point. Anyway, this is a peach of an album that starts out with an excellent cover of "The Beatles" track, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and keeps a lot of that slick momentum for the rest of this groovy album. Get it here for the FIRST time in ages folks.

01. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (3:02)
02. Mr Jenkins Brand New Boots (3:53)

Well folks, for my installment of rare albums, I offer up a once deleted album, until last year that is, by British Hard Rock band "Nutz". They were formed in Leever-pool in 1973, and were very popular on the NWOBHM scene, but sadly and undeservedly, never seemed to hit the big time. Led by Dave Lloyd, they did manage to procure gigs with 'Black Sabbath' & 'Budgie', which still didn't help their cause. Sadly, after four albums, which I have three of at present, they split and reformed in '79 changing their name to 'Rage' (UK). "Nutz Too" is obviously their second album and has real raw flair, to what can only be described as meaty rock. And this album is on request from Lord Haw Haw who I think is either psychic or 'Nutz Too". FYI, this is the original from 'A&R' that contains 11 tracks, where the re-release contains 5 bonus live tracks. Lap it up folks. And grab it here FIRST again.

01. Nature Intended (3:01)
02. I Want Never Gets (4:27)
03. Take It From Me (3:47)
04. Change's Coming (3:25)

09. Love You Lost (3:42)
10. Sinner (3:05)
11. Knife Edge (3:25)

This self-titled album from UK Prog Rock band "Beckett" was their only album from 1974. They have a huge following in the South Tyneside area of England. It is worth noting that Iron Maiden covered "A Rainbow's Gold", which is featured on the B-Side of their 'Two Minutes To Midnight" single. And a few members of "Beckett" went on to form the band "Back Street Crawler" with the ex-guitarist of 'Free', Paul Kossoff. Get this here FIRST.

"Proof Through The Night" is another real gem from 1983 by all round musician & producer "T-Bone Burnett". This album includes input from from 'Ry Cooder' & 'Pete Townsend' and there is something very mysterious, yet most uplifting with this one. It is very catchy and addictive.

"It Should Have Been Me" was the debut album by 'The Big Roll Band" back in 1965. His brand of rhythm & blues is incontrovertibly awesome. He is a total maestro and produces music that is simply inspiring and so charming to listen to.

Hi there folks, I am offering up a really neat bootleg series that contains all UK Apple recordings. Unbelievable right. I strongly urge you to get it quick, as I am unsure about the validity of them and whether they will stand up to scrutiny. Therefore I will just post volume 01 at this time and see if the powers that be allow this rare bootleg collection to remain. I hope that it does and I don't get slapped with another DCMA thing again. If that is the case, I will post the rest of the collection and I don't need to worry. I mean they are bootlegs, after all. Right. Right. Anyway enjoy the music as there are one or two beauties in here. Get them here FIRST.

These 5 tracks by obscure UK prog band "Autumn" have been locked away in the rock vaults since the seventies, until they were released in 1998 on Autumn Records. Long overdue in my book. But it did not stop some members of this band to go to on to reach great heights with the likes of "Hawkwind" and "The Enid" to name a few. Yes, they are rare and very desirable and yes, very good. "Oceanworld" is full of ostentatious and seemless instrumental tracks and is sure, however short, to stir your imagination.

01. Oceanworld (13:08)
02. Some Like It Crunchy (8:34)
03. Little Finger Exercise (8:35)
04. The Celebrated Court Jester (4:15)
05. Oceanworld (Reprise) (1:30)

Another lovely trip now with German 'Floydesque' space rock band "Jane". Very Cool.

01. Fire, Water, Earth & Air
Fire (You Give Me Some Sweet Lovin')
Water (Keep On Rollin') (16:59)
02. Earth (Angel) (5:25)
03. Air - Superman/Let The Sunshine In
Air - The End (10:53)

PS. Track listing is ambiguous as tracks flow into each other. However it is correct and runs for (33:10/17)

Southern rock band "The Outlaws", like a lot of bands in the 70's, felt it necessary to jump on the bandwagon and record a live album. And they did this in 1978, incorporating some of their best songs like "There Goes Another Love Song" & "Green Grass And High Tides" on "Bring It Back Alive". This is an out of print album and has some cool licks and excellent jams on it. Once again this is on request from my friend in Indiana.

01. Intro (Relay Breakdown) (0:59)
02. Stick Around For Rock and Roll (9:30)

Next up are the endearing "Michael Stanley Band", or "MSB", whose brand of classic 'heartland rock' was very cool in the 70's & 80's. And to tell you the truth, it still has it's place in the noughties also. Michael Stanley is a very successful US musician & DJ and his songs show a lot diversity, yet evocatively simple. I hadn't heard them before, until I got a request and I'm really chuffed I did. They are very easy to listen to and will leave you wanting more. So put your index fingers together for Stymie's choice, oh sorry "Ladies' Choice". Thanks again my friend for introducing me to yet another cool band.

The late blues singer "Rufus Thomas" was a real joy and marvel. His career stems back to the 50's when he first recorded on Sun Records, then in the 60's on Stax Records. His passion is intense, and the jokey, animated style will never be replicated. Give it up for no other than the "Blues Thang!" people. This guy is MEMPHIS. This is another request by Stymie.

"Dreamtime Downunder" is a very rare album with a very limited pressing featuring some of the best heavy pysch music from the 60's & 70's from our antipodean cousins. It contains lots of trippy effects and heavy on the guitar. There isn't much information on this one and I apologize for missing track 12. But I have a video for that track which can be gotten and then converted. This is one for the serious collector. (Vinyl ANZAC 1) So get it here FIRST folks.

"Brinsley Schwarz" were a British rock band named after one of it's members. This self-titled debut album is rather rare, and is an honest and charming piece of work from 1970. I had never heard of them until I acquired the 'Greasy Trucker's Party' album and upped it for y'all to enjoy recently. I was really taken by their set, so I decided to dig deeper and deliver you this little nugget for your collection. Cool.

This band seem to be the hottest request at the moment and If I'm not listening to the new AC/DC album, then I'm avidly listening to this classic rock band. And why not, "Nazareth "are a totally excellent band and so is this album - it rox. The intro of the first track vaguely reminds me of a "Whitesnake" track and I happen to have it on repeat whilst posting it. 'Gatecrash' , 'Dream On' & 'Games' are also excellent tracks. Rock on dudes & dudettes. This one is on request from Sir Caustic. Live life "2XS".

British heavy metal band "Motorhead" need no introduction and nor does the epic "Ace Of Spades", which kicks off this live album from 1981. The title "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" has no connection with the place itself as they never played there on their tour that year. So I guess they never got much sleep in then. But I know they played Hammersmith in 2005. Long time to stay awake methinks. This album is vintage Motorhead. Download it today for the road crew man. Oh I forgot to say that is on request.

01. Ace Of Spades (2:58)

02. Get On Home (4:02)
03. Baby Wanna Dance (2:14)
04. Circle Of Love (6:29)

"Stills Alone" by "Stephen Stills", one quarter of CSNY, is a very rare and out of print album from 1991 that will set you back a pretty penny. Merry xmas to me ... This album has a hauntingly beautiful acoustic feel to it. It's great to see how one man and a guitar can really draw your attention to simple yet inspiring music. Some of the ballads here will send shivers up your spine...

Steve Gaines was instrumental in the making of 'Lynyrd Skynyrd' and sadly passed on in 1977 at the tender age of 28 in a freak plane crash. "One In The Sun", his only solo album was posthumously released in 1988, which reflects not only his songwriting talent but a sheer natural guitarist as well. This is a rare album and a very rare talent who is sadly missed in the rock arena. Download this piece of history today.

James Burton has played with some of the greatest names in music history from Elvis Presley to Emmy Lou Harris, incorporating his 'chicken pickin' country/rock style in to his repertoire with the help of his favorite guitar - the Fender Telecaster. "The Guitar Sounds Of James Burton" is a truly marvelous solo album demonstrating the flair of this unsung hero. This album is on request from Stymie, who has an excellent and eclectic taste in music. Nice one my man thanks for the music lesson. And please check out comments for extras.

Here is another rare bootleg from Scottish rockers Nazareth. This was featured on radio back in '78 when flares were cool and rock was rock. This is a very spirited performance by Nazareth who still do live gigs to this day. This post is dedicated to Talleyrand who requested this precise BBC performance that has eluded him for some time now and almost got me also. Not quite. So this one is for you my man and hope this album rekindles those feelings of a bygone era. Enjoy folks.

"Maneige" are a Canadian prog band from Quebec. "Libre Service - Self Service" is actually an pleasant blend of jazz rock with lots of xylophone and a mix of percussion from 1978. If you liked the "Ekseption" album I upped recently, you should have no problem with this, although some of you might find it hard to listen to. "Maneige" have two other albums which are deleted and very rare and whilst I was doing some research on this album, I found this one is actually a bootleg.
