Quincy Conserve - Epitaph 1967 - 1971 (n zealand psych)
New Zealand band "The Quincy Conserve shared a multitude of musical influences, namely Soul,Funk,jazz,Prog,&psych.
On this, thier second album the liner notes read like a tombstone (right down to the R.I.P.) they must’ve felt it was their last at the time. As it happens, there is in fact an Ep (Tasteful) and another album to come.
Think about all the times you’ve been listening to a Blood, Sweat & Tears album and you thought to yourself “you know, I wish these guys were about a hundred times more awesome”, And if they were, you’d be listening to this.
Admittedly the vocalist on this album has a curious voice,
On the other hand, he sings in tune, unlike the other vocalist who has a more agreeable timbre but a tendency to sing flat. But why am I discussing such things when I could be telling you how totally awesome this album is. The early seventies were full of inspiring young men who never let lack of ability prevent them from succeeding as a rock singer - we should be proud.
Song highlights include "Alright in the city", "Aire of good feeling", "My michelle chan"

New Zealand Trading Company - same (N zealand psych)
Along with The New Mix, The Travel Agency, and The Music Asylum, the one and only NZTC album is a "never found" (as opposed to "lost") psychedelic classic. The album contains no list of personnel, no background information on the band, nothing. The record label itself is a mystery. Even Vernon Joynson's American psychedelic bible Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers overlooks the group (the review in the web-based version of that book is mine)! Not surprisingly, you can still pick this one up on the cheap.
This is psych - jazz that will appeal to-fans of Wake Up...It's Tomorrow era Strawberry Alarm Clock. The material is all original, save for an engaging cover of "Hey Jude". The writing is of consistently high quality, and the harmonies grab the listener and don't let go. Particular highlights include the fuzz guitar / vibes interplay on "Jam And Anti - Freeze", and the vivid character study "Winnifred Jellicoe". I'd not only take this one to the desert island, I'd stay with it if the rescue party didn't have room for the both of us! Indescribably essential! From RYM (Ochfan)

Raw Holly - Raw Holly (1971 rare rock psych)
Disco strano: sono rimasto deluso dalla prima traccia (non mi piace il genere trooooopo lento, un po' troppo R&R per i miei gusti) ma devo dire che la situazione migliora dopo l'opener con ottimi spunti ed idee che passano via via su atmosfere psych, compresi passaggi hard rock! da ascoltare!
