This week, we (Michael Hunter, Cat & Brat) played some 60s Asian obscurities that were so rare, we had no details for them at all. Detective work now reveals their details below! Equally rare Swedish bands of the era were also featured, and luckily videos of The Tages and Steampacket (no relation to the UK band of that name) were discovered, showing the quality of their work. We also said goodbye to legendary session man Big Jim Sullivan, and brought things right up to date with music by the Allah-Las and Moon Duo, via strange mash-ups (RIAA) and medleys (Captain Sensible). All in a day's work for Obscured By...
