Record Time covers obscure, unusual, forgotten and neglected records: used records get passed over a hundred times, but should have bought for a bargain bin price because they are great, if not interesting. It’s also about the arcane knowledge and stories one learns when they fall off the edge of fandom to freak.

Record Time No 2 hits the bargain bins and neglected corners of the local record store to find great records that are still affordable to average folks. And, as with the first issue, we dig into the back stories of these records and artists, with a focus on good writing.

This time around we do a deep dive into the life and career of Ray (Rae) Bourbon, a pre-Stonewall drag artist and comedian; jazzman Charles Lloyd's "wilderness" albums; Catalan folk legend and politico Lluis Llach; oddball rockers the Hampton Grease Band; finding the South African country music holy grail; Canadian cabaret rocker Louis Furey; the weird world of Polka; hard rocking should-have-been-huge Birtha; actor & music pusher Jack Webb; Sex Pistols and Pistols-inspired novelty records; patron saint of smart asses Rick Johnson; and more!

None of Record Time's content is available online or in digital form. 

If you like/liked Ugly Things, Maggot Brain, Roctober, Wax Poetics, Scram, Re/Search, Z Gun, etc., you'll dig Record Time!
