Avatar 10:57am rustypepin:

"Phil Yost, while he was recording did so out of the San Francisco bay area, and was a multi-instrumentalist, perhaps more consummate on the bass, and clearly original for jazz guitar, but sounds great on soprano sax and flute which he also plays here. He has two records on John Fahey’s label Takoma. This is his third and last record and is a solo effort making use of overdubbing (1970) to produce it, and was his only album to be self released. The moniker North Star was used by several different companies in several different countries, but no other music was released by Yost other than his own, when he made use of it. The original pressing is quite rare, with super poor but playable condition copies going for over $100 U.S. dollars, and average to better condition ones going for $500 and up. As for what this is that we have. This reprint differs from the original in several ways. Aside from the pasted album art on front and back, and from the lack of writing on the spine, it has altered graphics in several places. The North Star logo and name has been entirely removed, except for the label on the record where, also, the “S” has been inverted. It sounds as though it was created from an audio transfer from an original issue vinyl and then re-pressed back onto vinyl, the reasoning being that the audio in some places appears to not be entirely clean with some noise heard in some areas, leading me to think the audio did not come off of a set of master tracks. What I was able to learn about this reissue record was that it seems to have come from out of Europe somewhere, and appeared sometime in the beginning of this year. I am guessing that whoever produced the reissue simply could not find Yost or sufficient information to do so in order to obtain the tapes or the rights to officially redistribute his music, or simply were not up to that task, meaning I conclude this is bootleg. About Yost himself, information is very scarce. He appears to have never been credited as having had any involvement on anyone else’s record ever, I definitely do not think he had anything to do with Stargard’s “Nine Lives” album from 1982. Also, while the geography might initially suggest as much, the editorial writer for the San Jose Mercury Phil Yost who died last year was far too young to be this Phil Yost the musician.

With all eleven fingers, Brian in UK.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK:

We can all go Hinky Dinky Time road-trippin' at the top of the hour...if I can find my keys. Get in. I'm driving.

I was hoping that the other groups in this set would have semi-explosive names too, like T&T or NutroGlycerin. There's still time for you to pull it out, Doug.

@Listener Gregory
How about Jojo L'Explosif from Cameroon?

No offense Uncle, but let's not rush Doug on our glorious stroll through the Universe, I'm sure you will be putting the pedal to the medal with your usual fine selections soon enough
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40am Brian in UK:

Easy, Doug, easy. Thanks.
  11:43am Mark R:

Uncle Michael's not rushing us, he's just doing like, "Stay tuned for 'That Girl' next."

You're playing Erma Coffee and I'm drinking coffee--what are the chances? Answer: 9 out of 10.
  11:46am Mark R:

Her "Any Way the Wind Blows" is a little different from the Mothers song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47am Brian in UK:

@Mark R you are nealy an anagram of Erma.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of snakes, the oddly smooth and silky Uncle Michael is up next with the flickering tongue of sonic love known as HINKY DINKY TIME!

For a good time, go here: www.wfmu.org...
  11:52am Mark R:

"Free to Be You and Me," Brian--she duets with Mel Brooks and Harry Belafonte, among others.
