all killer, no filler

There was once this guy named Jack Diamond who ran an online record store named, appropriately enough, Jack Diamond Music. As I perused his stock of CDs (he also featured vinyl, but I have no turntable) I noticed a lot of fascinating stuff that seemed to be available absolutely no place else. After placing an order I figured out why. Those obscure CD albums turned out to be homebrewed bootleg discs ripped from vinyl LPs. As a bonus, opening the box unleashed the unmistakable olfactory evidence of ol' Jack being a chain smoker. But despite the slight negatives of the purchasing experience I did get my hands on some sounds I'd never have heard otherwise. We miss you, Jack.

Jack described BUG-IN as the soundtrack to a 1970s TV documentary about dune buggies. However, I recently read someplace else that it's a concept album and that The Inter-Urban Electric A&E Rhythm and Pit Crew Band is actually Shorty Rogers. Whatever. Enjoy a funky track:
