   About The United States of America
The sole album The United States of America was released by Columbia Records in 1968. It's the greatest achievement of an era in which rock was first explored as an avant-garde medium.

A definitive reissue CD is available from Sundazed with 8 previously unissued tracks, the 2 bonus tracks from the 1987 Edsel reissue, remastered sound, and revealing new commentary from both Joseph Byrd and Dorothy Moskowitz.

Following the dissolution of Byrd and Moskowitz's collaboration, a dramatically inferior yet still mostly brilliant successor to the album was issued by Columbia 1969: Joseph Byrd and the Field Hippies The American Metaphysical Circus. "You Can Never Come Down" is a track of USA-caliber that appears on this album and in a different version as a bonus track on the Sundazed reissue, demonstrating the compositional continuity between these projects for Byrd despite the different cast of collaborators.

After decades of absence from the global music media, Joseph Byrd was finally brought back into the public sphere by Italian journalist Beppe Colli's 2004 interview.

New Fifty Foot Hose CD!



http://anthologyrecordings.com/release.asp?album=FOgIMVzZlkK

Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco

In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were sprinkled throughout the album.

Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and Fairport Convention.
