+Helm "white hazel hollow" c28 new recordings from the younger half of birds of delay. complete departure from that though, and all other Helm recordings ive heard. absolutely beautiful, memorable drone. very well recorded and very focused effort from UK, absolute pleasure to be a part of this. hand screened covers, hand screened tape labels, folded covers sealed together with white brads, stuffed in 6x6 zip baggies. perhaps the best on 5fork to date, thanks to mrs. 5fork.. c28s hand wound here in town. edition of 75
+VxPxC "at moodys skidrow beanery '66" c14 yet again, quite a departure for this trio. clean recording, as opposed to the blown out murk of other great work on JK tapes and burial mound. perhaps more conventional than porchmass as well, 2 songs on side A and one on B. banjo, recorder, guitar, drums, vocals, all over the place here. screened tape labels, photocopy art on cardstock by 5fork, screened text on cover as well. c24s also wound here in town. edition of 50
+Leavenworth "black paynt" c64 split release w/ middle james co
