...according to our Phil on 23 November 2007.

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.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their 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
