Big Planet Noise presents Special Value Psychedelia: The Wacky World of Grocery Store Budget LPs: Milk
Bread Crisco Electric Scoundrals album
Once upon a time, your local grocery store actually sold records — usually a bin or two stuffed with flimsy, under-a-buck LPs of every conceivable genre, performed by artists you never heard of… We love these stupid albums. And now, we’ve dug our greasy BPN fingers into the “psychedelic” section and plucked out a handful of surprising, often-silly, diamond-in-the-rough cuts, proudly presented here for your aural amusement!
Tony Coulter presents True North: Post-Punk and Experimental Music from Scandinavia: A swing through the northern climes, focused on the 1980s.
Five Miles to Midnight with The Knave presents Montando el Sapo / Licking the Toad: A trip through psychedelic groove.
The Knave brings you a collection of kaleidoscopic gems from the vaults—Latin psychedelia, spacey disco, hallucinogenic Eastern beats, Afro freak-outs and obscure, tripped-out fuzz-tones from Europe. It’s time to lick the frog and hold on tight!
The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes presents In Case You Missed It: Less obvious but still great soul 45s that are affordable.
Your Boy Black Helmet presents Sonic Horizons: Expand your sonic horizons with the best of this year’s journeys to jam town.
Ridgewood Radio with David Weinstein presents Ashcan Orchestra: Ashcan Orchestra is a revolving collective of skilled musicians directed by composer Pat Spadine, whose melodies, harmonies, surprising instrumentation, and electro-mechanical interfaces are unique and fascinating. This music presents as a kind of 21st-century Renaissance gamelan, as much Conlon Nancarrow as Josquin des Prez. The instruments include strings and horns alongside handbells, toy pianos, slide whistles, oscillators, and percussion, with some elements automated by sensors and mechanical memory.
Bodega Pop with Gary Sullivan presents Happy Together: Punk, Post-Punk, Synthpop, New and No Wave Sounds from the Former Yugoslavia, 1979-89.

The Cool Blue Flame with Little Danny presents Dreamland on the Delaware: Jazz, poetry, and heady tones from Philadelphia.
Give the Drummer Some with Doug Schulkind presents Once… Upon a Time: A heady compilation of masterful tracks from inexplicably under-recorded jazz geniuses. It’s a perplexing survey of one-album wonders taken from creative improvisers who each on their own produced discographies that amount to one single solitary record! A number of the artists represented here died young. Others soon moved on to other professions. But most kept on composing and playing, working at their craft for years—but none of them ever stepped into a recording studio again. When you hear the quality of the performances, the mystery of why will be agonizing, but the listening will be glorious.

Observations of Deviance with David Mittleman presents Mono Mania: Rare Jazz Mono Vinyl Selections: Original Mono, Never Reissued Vinyl Jazz Tracks from OoD’s Collection
This premium collects mono tracks from LPs originally released in stereo & mono, but where only the stereo has been reissued. The one exception, and the rarest, is the Art Ensemble of Chicago track from Bap-tizum. That LP was only officially released in stereo. The record label pressed a limited amount as mono promo-only albums for AM radio stations. The rarer promo-only mono version is presented here. Other musicians include David Axelrod, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln and others. All the vinyl is from OoD host David Mittleman’s collection.
Why mono? What it lacks in definition, it makes up in power. Mono tracks pack a larger “punch.” You can almost feel the difference in the way the sound waves hit you. Sometimes hard-to-hear parts in the stereo mix leap out at you in mono — like the Art Ensemble’s vocalizing. The cover art is by noted designer Darryl Norsen. He’s designed cover art for labels like Eremite, Numero Group, Light in the Attic and many more. His art work “flips” the cover of the Art Ensemble of Chicago LP Bap-tizum. Darryl generously donated his time/work to this project. Enjoy!
