A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | JIM SULLIVAN U.F.O. (2020 US 10-track Light In The Attic
remastered LP reissue of the ultra rare 1969 private press
psych-folk-rock masterpiece, now pressed on trippy DESERT
SUNSET Coloured Vinyl. The vinyl is UNPLAYED housed in
the factory sealed inside its obi-wrapped gatefold
picture sleeve - a lost gem! LITA054)
Tracklisting: 2020 reissue of the ultra rare 1969 private press psych-folk-rock masterpiece - featuring the legendary Wrecking Crew (Beach Boys, Phil Spector). Housed in a gatefold jacket.
In March 1975, Jim Sullivan mysteriously disappeared outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico. His VW bug was found abandoned, his motel room untouched. Some think he got lost in the desert. Some think he fell foul of a local family with alleged mafia ties. Some think he was abducted by aliens.
By coincidence - or perhaps not - Jim's 1969 debut album was titled U.F.O. Released in tiny numbers on a private label, it too was truly lost, until Seattle's Light In The Attic Records begun a years-long quest to give it the full release it deserves - and to solve the mystery of Sullivan's disappearance. Only one of those things happened.
For record collectors, some albums are considered impossible to get hold of, records so rare you could sit on eBay for years and not get a sniff of a copy. U.F.O. is one of those albums. A seventh son, Jim Sullivan was a West Coast should-have-been, an Irish-American former high school quarterback whose gift for storytelling earned him cult status in the Malibu bar where he performed nightly. Sullivan was always on the edge of fame; hanging out with movie stars like Harry Dean Stanton, performing on the Jose Feliciano show, even stealing a cameo in the ultimate hippie movie, Easy Rider.
U.F.O. was a different beast to the one-man-and-his-guitar stuff Jim had been doing on stage; instead, it was a fully realised album of scope and imagination, a folk-rock record with its head in the stratosphere. Sullivan's voice is deep and expressive like Fred Neil with a weathered and worldly Americana sound like Joe South, pop songs that aren't happy - but with filled with despair. The album is punctuated with a string section (that recalls David Axelrod), other times a Wurlitzer piano provides the driving groove (as if Memphis great Jim Dickinson was running the show). U.F.O. is a slice of American pop music filtered from the murky depths of Los Angeles, by way of the deep south. With no music industry contacts, the record went largely unnoticed, and Jim simply moved on, releasing a further album on the Playboy label in 1972.
By 1975, his marriage breaking up, Jim left, for Nashville and the promise of a new life as a sessioneer in the home of C&W. That's where it gets hazy.
