Artist Track Album Comments Images Approx. start time
Hansadutta Swami  The Vision   Favoriting The Vision  "...born Hans Carey in West Germany 1941...It's attempted celestial folk music but he is so off key that he sound like a more wasted Skip Spence instead..." - Jello 
Favoriting

Alexander Spence (aka Skip Spence)  Fountain   Favoriting AndOarAgain  (A track that reminds me of Hansadutta a bit) - Your DJ 
Favoriting

(Bonus Track) Hansadutta Swami  Most Weird Abode   Favoriting Nothing to Lose But All to Gain (Hansa Associates Production 1978)  "I took a session gig for $85 to play guitar for some crazy swami guy in 79. Pretty sure it was this record. There was no rehearsal. This guy was wild- promised the record would be a hit and we’d all get rich" - Youtube comment by "Daniel" from a year ago. 
Favoriting
0:05:10 (Pop-up)
Mollie Thompson  The Cockeyed Ballad   Favoriting From Worlds Afar  "This DIY record came out on Asteroid Records in the early 60's: a woman in England singing to space aliens in her back yard!" - Jello 
Favoriting
0:16:01 (Pop-up)
Jonathan Round  Sympathy For the Devil   Favoriting Jonathan Round  ...complete with a round cover! He does a growly-voiced hellfire-and-brimstone version of "Sympathy for the Devil..." - Jello

Salem, Mass  Witch Burning   Favoriting Witch Burning  "...(from a tiny rural town in Idaho, of all places) put out a strange Magma-sounding album with a burning witch on the cover." - Jello

David Koresh  Madman in Waco   Favoriting The Music And The Message  "There are a lot of tapes tied up in litigation...He did release one single, ironically titled "Mad Man in Waco" - about his predecessor (the guy he got into a shooting match with, who was even nuttier than he was and is now in a mental hospital. He tried to prove he could wake the dead better than Koresh could by digging up graves, bringing the corpses into the compound and trying to bring them to life). - Jello 
Favoriting
0:42:01 (Pop-up)
Merrill Womach  I Believe In Miracles   Favoriting I Believe In Miracles  Merrill Womach was an undertaker in Spokane, Washington who was badly burned in a plane crash. He made all these records thanking Jesus for sparing his life (and his operatically-trained voice) and he flaunts his burn scars on the cover of every record! - Jello (Merrill's first album after the plane crash, with a cover depicting the accident. - Your DJ) 
Favoriting
0:45:13 (Pop-up)
Merrill Womach  Echoes of Yesterday   Favoriting Happy Again ("He Restoreth My Soul" Soundtrack)  "His liner notes say it best: "Despite horrible burns covering most of his body, he remained conscious - in fact, he started to sing as they headed toward the hospital, as the attendants peeled his charred clothing from his body, he continued to sing... The flames had practically devoured his face - swollen, within hours, to the size of a basket ball, his face was a charred mass. There were at first no openings for his eyes, so great was the swelling." - Jello 
Favoriting
0:47:59 (Pop-up)
Merrill Womach  He Restoreth My Soul   Favoriting Film Audio  "He sang while they rushed him to surgery, and sang when he recovered" - that would make a pretty out-there movie, wouldn't it? Well, Merrill thought of that, too, and he made a soundtrack album as well: Happy Again (the movie is titled "He Restoreth My Soul")"- Jello 
Favoriting
0:50:25 (Pop-up)
Merrill Womack Accompanied By Dean Kincaid  My Song   Favoriting My Song  "I found an album, "My Song- The One Man Chorus," that came out before the plane crash, and it had 42 pictures of his face (count 'em) on the front cover." - Jello 
Favoriting
1:18:44 (Pop-up)

Merrill Womach  Lord Take Control Of Me   Favoriting Happy Again ("He Restoreth My Soul" Soundtrack)  (Notes: Inner Gatefold Photo included on the bottom of pg. 39) "Open up the gatefold and it says, "Nearly 50 surgeries! God's ways are best!" ...There's a close-up of his head made-up to look charred, and if that picture were used on a heavy-metal or rap album, Tipper and Hillary would jump on that in no time, especially with the caption next to it: "It looked as if someone had taken a marshmellow and left it in the fire too long." - Jello 
Favoriting
1:42:07 (Pop-up)

This record use to show up fairly often in thrift stores, here in Ogden Utah for some reason.

This is so exciting! I’ve been looking for some of this stuff forever!
Is this show archived anywhere?

Our shows are archived, not sure about the full albums of Hansadutta.

Holy cow these songs are long. To my understanding he would improvise these lyrics and songs on the spot. I imagine the studio musicians trying to predict where the notes are going.

I remember hearing acoustic Koresh stuff on tape in the 90s. I remember it being incredibly boring. Have not heard Electric Koresh yet though, until now.

Merrill!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:47pm
Rich in Washington:

Womach's LPs are fairly easy to come across around here, due to his funeral music production company being in my state. I think near Tacoma.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:48pm
Rich in Washington:

as are Little Marcy and Buzz Martin records.

Is it Womach Week on WFMU? Yes, every week is Womach Week at WFMU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:49pm
Rich in Washington:

I should play that pastel colored 80s abomination of his.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:50pm
Otis:

Oh this one, Happy Again. Seemed to popup in the thrifts in Seattle often. It says something when you upgrade your Womach copy to get a near minty fold-out for a buck detailing his recovery.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:51pm
Rich in Washington:

That's what I do, Otis. Upgrade and sell/trade the old one. It's not exactly an LP I can gift my kids, as I usually do with my dupes.
Avatar 2:53pm
BC Sterrett:

I should let you know which Merrill records I'm missing in case you run into them. I found all mine at thrift stores here as well. They show up now and again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:54pm
Rich in Washington:

Do. They're pretty easily found around here. Not SUPER common, but pretty available.
Avatar 2:54pm
notsoKWYET:

Loving this today... perfect cooking music
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:54pm
Otis:

Always doing that too Rich. Rarely have duplicates... just had a Arthur Lyman LP where the cover was mint and the vinyl had a layer of surface noise, just landed a new one cheap and swapped the crap vinyl for a minty one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:56pm
Otis:

However my Merrill LPs from years ago did not make the cut when deciding what to move to another country with. However, Marjoe's child recordings did on LP... so there's an analysis of my vinyl priorities. Ha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:57pm
Rich in Washington:

sometimes a thrift store record is so good I buy it anyway and usually give it to my son-in-law who's gotten into records. I usually give my daughter and SiL one really goofy record and one actually tasteful record.

It is ok
Avatar 2:58pm
BC Sterrett:

I'm missing the one just called Merrill, that you showed in the zoom meeting with a huge closeup of his face. Others looking for: "I stood on Calvary", "A Time For Us," "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory", "My Favorite Hymns," "In Concert" and his Christmas album :)

I've never actually seen this whole doc. I've seen clips but not the whole thing.

Before it was available on youtube, I tracked down whomever owned the rights to this film and paid them for this DVD.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:01pm
Rich in Washington:

Merrill seemed like an OK guy. As far as I know, he wasn't a hateful homophobe or bigot. And I can't imagine going through that kind of hardship.
Interesting to note that he dedicated his life to producing funeral music for funeral homes.

It's the pre-crash Merrill album. I run into this one fairly often.
I usually face the closeup Merrill albums on the bookshelves for some intrepid neophyte cratedigger to find, to the horror of Goodwill clerks everywhere.

My copy of this LDS record was a library record at WAKM FM. It was played Sept. 6, 1966, Sept. 7, 1966, Apr. 1, 1967, and May 2, 1967 at 1 PM - according to the stamps on the back...

Aw, fantastic! This LP is the very first thing you hear at the beginning of the Radio Free Oz episode "Night of the Provos" in February 1967. Bergman opened every show with a tape collage. Later that night his guests from the group Provo took over the studio and signed off, playing the National Anthem 17 times
