CommentPre Blue Oyster Cult: "Stalk Forrest Group" Demos for Unreleased "The California Album/LP" St. Cecilia

Stalk Forrest Group, The band that would become Blue Oyster Cult created two albums' worth of recordings for Elektra, using a different name for each album's sessions, first Oaxaca and then The Stalk-Forrest Group, and, after delivery of the finished recordings to Elektra, neither album was ever released.

Though they were signed as Soft White Underbelly, and are now known as The Stalk-Forrest Group, they began recording tracks for their first Elektra album using the name Oaxaca. Ten tracks were completed in early 1970. Though recollections are sketchy, it appears that Elektra Records were none too pleased with these recordings, and all of them were shelved.

Sandy Pearlman, ever persuasive, convinced Elektra to take yet another chance with this version of the band. Elektra finally agreed, and in early 1970, the band began recording masters for another album. This time the recordings were made as The Stalk-Forrest Group. And this time an album was completed, mixed and mastered.

However, Elektra decided again not to release any Stalk-Forrest Group recordings at all. Soon after recording the second unreleased Elektra album, Andrew Winters left the band and soon after that The Stalk-Forrest Group was under no further obligation to Elektra's recording contract. Other than an Elektra MONO promotional single of "What Is Quicksand?" and "Arthur Comics" and other than the appearance of "Arthur Comics" on a 1986 Elektra Records compilation entitled Elektrock (The Sixties), all of these marvelous psychedelic Stalk-Forrest Group recordings have remained unreleased in their original tape boxes on a dusty tape vault shelf.

St Cecilia: The Elektra Recordings collects together all of the surviving Elektra Archive STEREO masters for both the final Stalk-Forrest Group albums as well as the unused masters from the initial Oaxaca sessions. We say "unused masters" because three Oaxaca sessions tracks, "What Is Quicksand?" "Donovan's Monkey," and "Arthur Comics," were snipped out of the first album master tapes by the original producers so that they could be included without change in the delivered Stalk-Forrest Group album master. In addition, we’ve included the MONO masters from both sides of The Stalk-Forrest Group single.

CommentThe Complete 1982 Demos Plus More is a bootleg album, released in 1996 according to most Internet sources, containing songs from two different Black Flag recording sessions.

Album history

In 1982, legally restricted from releasing new records, Black Flag secretly recorded a demo, mainly consisting of songs that would later be used on their albums My War and Slip It In. Tracks 1-10 were taken from these sessions, although some sources indicate that these 10 selections are not in fact the "complete 1982 demos."

The 1982 demo sessions are notable for being the only recorded Black Flag material featuring Chuck Biscuits on drums (his tenure in the band was fairly short-lived). Some Black Flag fans cite this lineup as the best in the band's history, and some consider these recordings to be among the band's best. Due to the secretive nature of the sessions, these demos have also developed a somewhat legendary reputation in punk circles. Also notable is the inclusion of "What Can You Believe" and "Yes, I Know," songs which did not appear on any official Black Flag releases in any form.

Personnel:

Henry Rollins - lead vocals
Greg Ginn - lead guitar
Dez Cadena - rhythm guitar
Chuck Dukowski - bass
Chuck Biscuits - drums

CommentThis seems to be a really early rough mix of songs recorded during the Reign In Blood sessions. Differences between these versions and the final mixes are subtle, except for one: Tom's famous scream at the beginning of Angel Of Death isn't on this version, and his vocal take here is drastically different.
