Takin’ care of business

Here’s one from the book “Incredibly Strange Music” which brought to light a suprisingly large sub-culture of offbeat record collectors and created a pantheon of unique and overlooked musical artists such as Esquivel, Les Baxter, Ken Nordine, and many others. I read the whole thing in one sitting and realized I was not the only one collecting unusual records.   If you like this site, do yourself a favor and get both volumes of “Incredibly Strange Music” (Re-Search Books)

Church ladies who rock

Amazing!

“Heres a Norwegian religous duo Elna Fredhoy and Rigmor Odun with a fantastic EP cover from the Harmoni label Oslo,Number HEP 178 would you believe!. It must come from the fifties and those interested in guitars and wonder what type is shown here…its a German Isana guitar and Elvis even had one when he was in Germany during his army years. These ladies have personalised both their instruments by adding the text “Helliget Herren” ….the Holy Lord.”     Keith Stevens, Nora, Sweden
