Red Asphalt- Demo xfer f/master audio cassette Scott Davey Collection San Francisco No Wave New Wave

Today’s audio post is from Scott Davey’s collection. I just learned that Scott’s old facebook account was deleted. That’s too bad, it was nice to tag him so his friends could see his work living on…

Even though the song that I checked did not ID on shazam, this demo seems to be a combo of released tracks and a couple that are not.

Tracks:
Red Asphalt
Jive Puppet
Phone Call from God
Peligro
Fallen Angel
Brain in a Jar

Recorded by: Red Asphalt
Transfer by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card

Joy Ryder and Avis Davis- Max’s Kansas City New York City late 1970s f/Umatic tape Davis/Ryder band

Let’s keep the wayback machine going this weekend. This is a tape that I got off Ebay a couple years ago and now that the good umatic machine is fixed, it was finally time to digitize. I would assume that it is a master since there were pretty much no Umatic traders. In fact, I have never seen a umatic dubbed tape. This one has some smearing and some shadows, which could mean that it is a copy but I just think that was 1970s tech back then. Where else are you going to find this anyway?

Davis/Ryder was an early punk band who put out a 7″ on Monongo records in 1979 and the “B” side- Nasty Secretary- was their most popular song. Both Joy and Avis have passed away.

Pretty cool time capsule.

Recorded by: Some cool person with a umatic

Ozzie- Soviet Shoes Video 1979

So an offhand comment of me saying that Draw Pinky confused me(I since bought “Wee” and loved it) turned into a great email exchange with Bill Fuller from the band. He pointed me at this awesome video by Sacramento band Ozzie in 1979. Thanks Bill!

PS: You should get “The Parabolic Rock” by Ozzie if s-s records if you don’t have it already.
