LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

'First Chips Volume I'. At a time when musical shifts were almost a daily routine in the immediate aftermath of the 1960s, multi-instrumentalist Vyto Beleska decided to trawl through the archives of his own Clay Pigeon studios, based in Chicago's Southside. Assembled here are past recording projects that utilised some of Chicago's finest underground musicians and whose collaborations with Beleska reveal another chapter in the annals of psychedelia and garage punk. To mark the early work of Beleska and Clay Pigeon Studios, a privately pressed album was issued in 1972 in a quantity of 500 copies only. Circulating locally, the Clay Pigeon recordings were sadly never acknowledged on a national or worldwide level. Nevertheless, this CD (with remasterd sound) offers some truly great garagerock, '60s fuzz punk and psychedelic mayhem.
