Kath 1 / Unreleased Material CD

2012 two CD set. Not many albums can get you in the mood to blow out your speakers quite like Kath, a band that evolved from local Maryland 1960's band Badge. This is an authentic low-fi DIY effort, recorded in the home of the band's leader and originally released in 1974 in a micro edition of 60 hand-made copies, and later reconfigured for a legendary Rockadelic label LP version. Truth to tell, the Kath album is full of well written melodic songs with loose, semi-ramshackle, low-fi/no-fi production values. We've also included Badge's excellent 1978 five-track EP as bonus tracks. And since too far is never far enough for Lion Productions, we've also added an entire second disc of outtakes from the Kath recording sessions, plus other related home recordings. This 140 minute double disc set comes with twenty pages of extensive liner notes by Kath and Badge leader Val Rogolino, and a plethora of photos from his personal stash.
