secret music history presents... bobbi boyle!

my friend christian's record label has just landed what is in this writer's humble opinion it's biggest release yet. so i feel obligated to plug.


mpls ltd. has thus far built its reputation on the commodification of newish music, which i pay little attention to (it's just a problem i have, don't take it personally). this album came out in 1967 however and fetches pretty sums of dough when (if?) an original copy ever comes up for sale. so who is bobbi boyle? and why is an obscure record of 60s pop standards so sought after? should i mention that bobbi boyle was an associate of legendary song poem man rodd keith and his msr record label? is bobbi boyle perhaps the voice on the song poem classic "i like yellow things"? i should mention that i get a credit in the liner notes for doing the vinyl to digital transfer of the bonus tracks, though thanks should really go to my dad, who is nuts enough to drop serious cheese on a fancy record player and hi fi system. finally, coup of coups, dustygroove is selling it, which is just tops in my book. listen to bobbi boyle here. can i get a kool-aid man oh yeah!?:
