Albert Chancy's <i>Mastermind </i>is awesome for several reasons: it's french, arranged on early Yamaha gear and has hidden gems. Take the title track "Master Mind", this track is an absolute killer disco-funk-jazz jam session, I think it's basically one giant organ solo. Not everything on this record is a hit, but you might find something you like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pros: French, Early-electronic arrangements, hidden gems, Sinatra cover, self-produced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Con: The record isn't more like the title track</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I probably found this on a Value Center run over the summer. This is some obscuro-michigan-70s-pop if I've ever seen one. I literally can't find any info on the internet about this, which certainly adds to the charm. On the back of the record there's a mailing address for the band that leads to Bloomfield Hills. Not really sure what the story is with this record but there sure are some catchy songs. <br /><br />Pros: Modest production, out-of-tune instruments, catchy pop, Michigan-based</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cons: No one has found this and reissued it. <br /><br />Really one of my favorites</div>

Over the summer I was in Canada and found a shit load of region specific records. Most of the records I found were random popstars, family bands, french records, but mixed in with the lot of horrible records was <i>Dogs of War</i>. <i>Dogs of War</i> is a 1977 Canadian dance record featuring elements of disco and funk with a theme of outer-space (Intergalactic Tactic, Space Conqueror). I really have no idea what <i>Dogs of War</i> refers too, but it's a pretty rockin' title. <br /><br />Pros: Weird songs titles like <i>Love Pirate</i> and <i>Future Jungle</i>. Synthesizers and early drum machines</div>

Kathy Burch's <i>Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll</i> was recorded in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. This album is a mix-match of different styles featuring some folk-country-esque tunes, rock pop, piano ballads and smooth jazz/soft rock grooves. The #1 hit on this record is <i>Stoned Kitties</i>, a song all about cats high on cat nip, which should of made <i>Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll </i>a platinum selling record. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I couldn't find much info on Kathy Burch, but I did search on youtube to see if anybody put <i>Stoned Kitties</i> up and I came across a these videos:<br />

Found at a flea market after much digging, <i>Banty Rooster Blues</i> is a humble recording featuring Robert Richard playing his harp and singing old Detroit Hastings Street Blues. Unfortunately this is the only LP Robert Richard ever put out, although he was featured on many Detroit blues records, particularly those of Bobo Jenkins (who he mentions in the song "Old Detroit"). <br /><br />The linear notes put it best: <br /><i>"There is no fancy recording technique and no real practice. Just a couple of pints, a lot of memories of old Detroit. . .Get yourself a pint of whiskey and join in on the session, this is how it used to be in Old Detroit." </i></div>
