"Sleepy Hollow" a RARE power pop nugget

I normally never do straight album downloads on this blog, but this is a rare exception. “Sleepy Hollow” is one of those rare and obscure records from 1972 that was released as a tax scam (see the interview link below) and never noticed by the public. The music is similar to classic sound of The Beatles, Badfinger, or The Hudson Brothers. I’m open to suggestions as to who the band actually is and if any information can be found about them. The only info on them is identified on The Acid Archives and that isn’t much: “So this album gets big points for nostalgia value; like Blue Ash, Badfinger, Zerfas, Anonymous, We All Together, Jade and so on, it gives comfort to people who wish the Beatles never broke up.” For power pop fans, it’s unearthed treasure. I also found the era of tax scam records fascinating. So enjoy this one.

Danny Wilde "The Boyfriend" FREE album

Like the “Friends” theme, he’ll be there for you (fans). Get the first solo album of Danny Wilde, “The Boyfriend” for FREE from his website. Danny Wilde’s first solo album featured a lineup that looks very much like that of the first Rembrandts album-with Phil Solem on guitar and Pat Mastelotto on drums. But the sound of “The Boyfriend” isn’t quite what you may expect. This is a straight 1986 pop rock record. The first single, “Isn’t It Enough”, was a Top 20 rock radio hit, and would often be covered live by Martina McBride and appeared in Patty Smyth’s album “Never Enough”. Because Wilde jumped ship to Geffen Records shortly after the album’s release, The Boyfriend was never issued on CD and has been out of print for years.

Not only is the album available for FREE it’s been encoded at 320 kbps, which means it’s CD quality sound. Download it at Danny Wilde’s Website
