Long Time Comin' - Lost Sounds from the Treasure State Vol.1

$25.00 / Sold Out

27 rockin' slabs from Montana's first wave of "amplified instrumental and singing groups". 2xLP includes CD and a 12 page booklet with rare photos and extensive liner notes.

"It's comforting to know that the rebellious spirit of rock and roll existed in these isolated towns of Montana in the 60s. You can hear Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, and even a little bit of the 13th Floor Elevators in this music.
...And no one knew about these bands except for their respective communities, until now.
Who knows what might have happened if any one of these bands had moved to LA." - Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam
