Fresh Blueberry Pancake - Hassles

These 2 Pancake songs are only around 3 minutes each, ignore the extended few minutes of silence.

"This band was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They formed in 1968 and by 1970 they were performing primarily original material which necessitated the recording of the demo album. Only 54 copies were pressed, and they were used for promotion... it's now rather difficult to locate, (I first saw this in a dealer list over a decade ago with a stratospheric "pie-in-the-sky" price tag of $40,000....I shit you not!). It ranges from post-Hendrix/Blue Cheer brain-numbingly heavy acid-rock (watch out for the opener, Hassles), through bluesy moods, lighter jazzy touches, to jangly almost-folk-rock restraint. The lyrics occasionally head in a religious direction but are not preachy; the overall feel is more one of 'Old Crow' than 'Old Testament'. Fresh Blueberry Pancake shortened their name to Pancake before calling it quits in 1972. Extra heavy West Coast Psych (like Butterfingers) with a touch of Country & Western."

Tony, I think you and the band should consider releasing the album somehow. I believe a good label that deals in the obscure are called Ripple Music.
