What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Onto Susan Christie who is one of many Finders Keepers releases this week... None for ages and then suddenly there's loads. The 'Paint A Lady' 7" is a perfect piece of 60's folk rock/pop with some fat drum sounds. The A side is very nursery rhyme ish and had it not arrived about 20 minutes before we were gonna do the update it would have most probably been single of the week. Enduring music which makes me feel sad about half of the gash that's released these days. This has soul coming out of its arse and there's a cracking cover of Ghostrider In The Sky on the flipside. Lovely.

What the label says:

How rare can a rare record be? Medium rare? Uncooked? How about unreleased? Susan Christie was a Philly based sophomore folk singer who had one novelty hit for a major label and never quite recovered. Afterwards, her psychedelic take on country standards and handcrafted tales of inner city solitude backed by a break heavy folk-funk rhythm section was never accepted as a commercial viability by record company big wigs. They obviously couldn’t quite muster their Nostradamus sensibilities to foresee what future Hip Hop producers and DJs would be feeding into digital music machines 30 years down the line. Luckily, three fifths of a handful (literally three!) privately pressed vanity copies were manufactured in early 1970, one of which became the source material for Finders Keepers’ sixth album in their expanding library of obscure, obtuse, obsolete and obsessive vintage music from the 60s and 70s.  This limited edition 45 release of 500 copies will pre-empt the release of the full album and is the first in Finders Keepers’ Compacta Series of 7” singles

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
