    Kaleidoscope (UK) - The Locket



    Recorded in 1971 for their concept album, 'White Face Lady' that went unreleased for several decades. It's quite a stunning album.

    "Holy River" by Space Opera. Exquisite electric 12-string tour-de-force.

    Immensely wonderful and tragic power ballad. A total flop, but one of Vanda/Young's best songs:

    This sounds like garage rock from a few years earlier, but apparently it was released in 1970.

    One of my very favorite obscurities. From France. I wish I could require every person on this forum to listen to it! Someone like Quintin Tarantino seriously needs to set a car chase movie scene to this.

    OK Chicago - Resonance (1973)

    I always liked this song a hundred times more than "Billy Don't Be A Hero", but even though I know that this song charted, it really did fall into a huge hole of obscurity, didn't it?
