STUPENDOUS THANKS to Liverpool-by-way-of-Sheffield musician Rick Corcoran for generously sharing his demos, outtakes, and fair-haired musical stepchildren (& even creating artwork for many of 'em). On account of Rick's stunning psych-pop masterworks, Orgone Box really should be a household name for folks who read this blog. Now then, Rick: will you PLEASE get on with it and release your next proper album (The Lorne Park Tapes LP notwithstanding)? The fans are waiting, kind sir...

Before forming Orgone Box, Rick Corcoran was in the bands Green Tambourines and Orange, for which he wrote and recorded a good handful of songs — some of which were re-worked for Orgone Box.

HUMONGOUS THANKS to Rick Corcoran for releasing many of his odds & sods tracks over the years, and to Mick for compiling the Green Tambourines tracks (Mick also did the ‘Judy Over the Rainbow Plus’ compilation artwork).
NOTE: Mick’s artwork suggests the presence of several officially-released tracks, but they do not appear here due to my policy of sharing only ROIOs. Happy hunting!

ReplyDeleteHey Barry - Try again. I just checked the link in the main post and the one here in the comments, and they both appear to be working just fine. Hint: use the "Download" button near the top of the Dropbox page.
