Earl's Closet (2lp/clear)
'THE LOST ARCHIVE OF EARL MCGRATH, 1970 TO 1980' - Earl McGrath was the ultimate '70s jet-setter, an art collector and comic bon vivant who stumbled into the record business where he discovered Daryl Hall & John Oates and later Jim Carroll. Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun gave Earl his own label, Clean Records in 1970, Mick Jagger hired him to run Rolling Stones Records in 1977. After Earl died in 2016, journalist Joe Hagan, author of the critically acclaimed 'Sticky Fingers,' discovered a trove of rare and unheard tapes in Earl's apartment in New York - literally inside his closet. Now Light In The Attic Records proudly presents 'Earl's Closet', an album of the treasures discovered inside, including an eclectic cast of undiscovered artists who once vied for fame and glory - folk, rock, country, funk and R&B gems that virtually no one has heard in decades. Comes on clear vinyl. TRACKS: 01. Delbert & Glen - Two More Bottles of Wine 02. Daryl Hall & John Oates- Baby Come Closer 03. Terry Allen - Gonna California 04.
