Anybody got records on this label? recommendations?. I have a couple of Tjader albums on this label. Can someone post the discography, I believe it 20 albums total on this label.
 
don't really remember there being too much on the label that burned me up. sure there's something good that i haven't seen.

Always liked the Tjader - Solar heat LP.

Armando Pereza LP is pretty boring IMO

Chuck Rainey LP is relatively mediocre... but a couple nice tunes on it.

that's all that comes to mind right now.
 
the big track on this label is "be black" by Grady Tate. There is some decent Gabor Szabo stuff on Skye, too.





while there is some nice stuff on Skye, there is ALOT of M.O.R. cheez as well... i think Tjader and Szabo actually owned the label...

This is a good one.
what's this one like? (musicians, instruments, etc)
Pop-psych with teenage girl harmony vocals. A friend liked it first, and it grew on me. I don't have the OG LP, but I do have a 45 from it, "What's Really Happening" that's good, and I have a burn of the LP, which is pretty strong from start to finish.
 
Goddamn I need that Wendy and Bonnie in a bad way, never see it out and about though.
 
How good is the Wendy and Bonnie record? So good I got a guy to option their life rights and wrote a movie about them. If anyone has five million sitting around PM me. And yes their unreleased stuff is amazing.
 
yea but the record on skye is gabor dreams. but the beard had one thing right. that them there wendy and bonnie is rard. whats up black man. holla.
 
roy porter is also a great artist and i have option on his life story, one of his drum sticks and his petrified turd in tupperware. holla.
 
ps that goddamn wendy and bonnie used to be sitting around like a peice of dog shit. i used to cop that shit 5 times a year. holla.
