Roger
Nichols legendary soft pop classic first CD release
 Essentially
the very holy grail of L.A. soft pop, the 1968 album, 'Small
Circle Of Friends' is a must own for fans of this highly collectible
genre. First Time on CD in Europe! Not available in the US
either, come to that!! Produced by the legendary Tommy LiPuma,
the album was largely co-written by Roger with Paul Williams
(his future co-writer on scads of 1970's megahits) and Tony
Asher (fresh from his collaboration with Brian Wilson on Pet
Sounds), featuring a couple of selected cover versions, including
a rare take on Carole King's "Snow Queen", which
she was to record with her short lived band The City standing
out in particular, sung by Roger with Murray and Melinda MacLeod,
as well as being backed by a virtual 'who's who' of California
pop of the time, the likes of Lenny Waronker, Van Dyke Parks,
Bruce Botnick and Randy Newman.
Mastered
to sound fantastic, packaged to look fabulous, with many never
seen photos and full involvement from the artist and friends,
this surely is the supreme Soft-Rock collectable in the DeLuxe
form fans have dreamt of!! Buy
it now! Click to buy.

OCTOBER
COUNTRY
 So
here it is...the long awaited, long anticipated release of
October Country, one of the prime collectable projects of
legendary producer Michael Lloyd. Michael Lloyd is in some
ways a mysterious figure...child prodigy surfrocker...Kim
Fowley protégé...member of The West Coast Pop
Art Experimental Band, house producer for Tower Records, vice
president of MGM Records at 23, producer of hits for artists
from The Osmonds to Leif Garrett, and involved in some of
the most awesomely collectable softpop/psychedelic rarities
of all time!
This
much sought after album by little-known LA act October Country
includes as much input from Lloyd and his usual collaborators
as it does from the band themselves, on a set of songs mostly
written by Lloyd..rendering the group's own roots as a We
Five-ish folkpop group completely unrecognisable!
A
superb piece of classic psychpop, done in tandem with the
soundtrack to Steven Spielberg's first movie "Amblin'",
featuring many of the same musicians.....this is in many ways
the companion piece to the legendary Tower Records album by
The Smoke (effectively a Lloyd solo album), and some of it's
songs reappear in punkier versions on the soundtrack to early
1970's cartoon The Cattanooga Cats..sung by bubblegum king
Joey Levine, softpop beauty Melody Clinger, and the unlikely
figure of Rupert Holmes....but that's another story! A snapshot
of a genius at work, and of the Sunset Strip pop scene of
the 1960's!!
This
is its first time ever on CD! Included are the mono single
mixes all in the usual Rev-Ola state of the art remastering!
Plus a lavish package with detailed notes by Steve Stanley.
Michael
Lloyd is a legend....from his days in The West Coast Pop Art
Experimental Band to his mega-success as a pop producer....and
this is a must for all collectors of softpop, psychpop, and
1960's West Coast music in general! Click
