(AUTOSALVAGE.) by(AUTOSALVAGE. )...... ....(Autosalvage were formed, in 1966, by Thomas Donaher (guitar/vocals) and Darius Davenport (vocals & multi instruments). They were reputedly discovered by Frank Zappa during his stay in New York and he took a role in their sole album. The group were obviously competent musicians creating a merge of rock lyrics with avant-garde music. The tracks had interesting arrangements and melodies, notably Land 0f Their Dreams and the The Great Train Robbery are interesting and far from the only highlights. Cuts like the opening track (titled, confusingly enough, "Auto Salvage") show the band at their best -- strong melody, airy harmonies, a churning psychedelic arrangement. AUTOSALVAGE rhythm guitar & lead vocalist Thomas Danaher remembers: The Mothers of Invention [they were that!] first came to New York City -- it must have been in '67 or '68 -- to play two memorable gigs: At Andy Warhol's Balloon Farm in the East Village, and then at a small transformed movie theater beside The cafe A-Go-Go on Bleeker Street. To give you a flavor of the times: Muddy Waters followed the Mothers at the Balloon farm, while across town was Cream, in their first American gig at the Go-Go. Jimi Hendrix was also on the scene, possibly with beginning ideas for his recording studio on West 8th St., "Electric Ladyland." Newly formed Autosalvage, myself included of course, first met the Mothers in opening for them at the Balloon Farm -- in reality an old Ukrainian Hall completely festooned in silver mylar. We then played the Go-Go for a few weeks, and were further able to hear and get to know Frank and the rest of the Mothers. We loved their freaky exuberance, backed up and expressed with fantastic chops -- a liberating experience for any musician. But Autosalvage, gaining by osmosis, was the extent of our musical connection. One otherwise unknown fact for you: Frank had a particular liking for our signature song, "Auto Salvage," and at the time we were searching for a name for the band. Frank said that he would choose our "Auto Salvage" ... and so we did, but with a different meaning implied than junkyard for cars • Auto Salvage 5:37 • Burglar Song 2:20 • Rampant Generalities 3:10 • Medley: 6:30 • Our Life As We Lived It • Good Morning Blues • Ancestral Wants 3:50 • Hundred Days 2:15 • Land Of Their Dreams 3:07 • Parahighway 2:35 • Medley: 5:18 • The Great Brain Robbery • Glimpses Of The Next World's World SL IS VG+ WITH SLIGHT RING WEAR AND CUT CORNER DISC IS VG+++ )........
