I think I had Streetnoise on cassette......possibly bought as a cut out from Radio Shack... I bought a couple of Beethoven cassettes there I still have
And I have the Harumi album on Verve given to me by a good friend along with other records like Sun Ra when he downsized his record collection.
He also gave me what is my second copy of United States of America a very quirky ahead of its time record some rock some electronic music.
If someone could put up a couple of MP3s its worth checking out.
Although it could go either way, some people define the 60s as starting in 63 and going to 72, might be best to confine this thread to the decade and possibly start another covering 1970 to 1972.

When Marshall Chess decided to act on his original idea of creating a multiracial, psychedelic progressive rock band, Rotary Connection was born. The fact that he held the keys to his father's recording studio at Chess Records, obviously didn't hurt, either. He was also blessed to be able to include the surreal five octave vocal range stylings of Minnie Riperton (Maya Rudolph's mother) as a group member. Her beautiful, distinctive voice is put to excellent use on songs like "Black Noise / Memory Band," a trippy homage to the "La La" background music tracks that were popular with many foreign films of the day. Beautifully recorded with top-tier production, Rotary Connection's debut album is a winner and a true original!

I have the United States Of America and its (more or less) followup by Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies. I will post a couple of MP3s.
That album was in the PX where I was stationed for over a year. If I recall correctly, it cost $2.50, but nobody bought it for ages. Finally somebody did, and when he was asked about it, he wasn't enthusiastic. Of course, If I knew then what I know now (Minnie Ripperton being on the album), it would have been mine well ahead of that.
I hear you. Twenty-twenty hindsight can be brutal sometimes!
Also lost in the 60s.....
Much of the genius of that first Rotary Connection album is Charles Stepney's arrangements.
Absolutely! Spot on!

Please 'indulge' me, but the 60's also introduced this young buck who was building up an Open Reel collection [pre QUAD] to a remarkable songstress who has all but been forgotten as a sensational interpreter of pop/jazz standards. MGM had released three of her albums on pre recorded Open Reel which at the time sounded somewhat audiophile and while everyone around me was spinning the latest rock psychedelia.....I fell in love with
LAINIE KAZAN
One of my absolute favs was her LOVE ALBUM arranged by Claus Ogerman on the MGM label and AFAIK, it has never been released on RBCD! Her rendition of NATURE BOY to this day remains unique and simply gorgeous!

That rendition of "Nature Boy" is stellar! Thanks for sharing. Whenever I think of Lanie Kazan, I always hearken back to her outrageously funny, scene-stealing performance in Richard Benjamin's, My Favorite Year. It's a classic.

A funny anecdote from Lainie regarding her role in MY FAVORITE YEAR which by the way is brilliant and hysterically FUNNY
Lots of Sundazed label things to talk about here, but this is my fave:

Yes 4ears I enjoyed that version of Nature Boy that first photo of her you posted goes well with it.....
Rotary Connection. Found a beat up copy of the first album at a thrift store in Palm Springs during one of my visits out there. I understand they had 3 albums been meaning to look for a collection.
Some of this music I am happy to have discovered as an adult with more developed tastes I would have blown much of it off as an impatient teenager.

Another album cover with a fish eye lens photo. I used to covet one of those lenses but unaffordable for me.
Is the rest of that album as good as this song?

I LOVED MY fisheye Lens which came with a slew of color filters including SEPIA. And at the time, it didn't break the bank. My NIKON loved it but it was so freakin' wide that I had to ensure my bod didn't get in the picture. Mine was manufactured by SOLIGOR and I found this listing on ebay:
