Live Davenport, Iowa 1968
Alona's Dream

***Previously unreleased live recording featuring unheard originals from 1960’s psychedelic legends THE CONTENTS ARE. “Until recently, The Contents Are were one of the great forgotten bands of the late 1960s midwestern psychedelic scene. After their masterpiece LP Through You was recorded the band went through their first evolution, switching out bass players LARRY SMITH for MICK ORTON. While honing their new group by hosting a series of live shows in their native Davenport, IA (they were one of the area’s leading draws by this point), CRAIG was recording the band’s sets using his Ampex two track tape recorder. This album is the result of those recordings. Drawn from his archive of live recordings, they represent the band not only finding their footing after adding a new member but also recording a series of live demos which were then shopped to various producers in the hopes of landing a recording deal and wound up being the catalyst that brought them to Jerry Milam’s Golden Voice Recording Co in South Pekin, IL. It was there they would record their second major album Four Each Other, which sat unreleased in the band’s archive until it was released via Golden Voice & Alona’s Dream in 2017, to much acclaim! These are more than just a collection of demos; they represent a band in between making an early psychedelic folk classic in their first album and an expansive acid rock evolution on their second album, with many original songs that were only ever played live....

Four Each Other - 1969
Alona's Dream

***Classic Midwestern American psychedelic rock from Iowa legends THE CONTENTS ARE. Recorded in 1969 at Golden Voice Recording Co. South Pekin, IL and unreleased until 2017. A lost late-'60s psych gem produced by studio legend JERRY MILAM. Includes full color insert featuring liner notes and band pictures. "Had this album been released in 1969/70, it would be worth thousands of dollars today. Without the persistence of Chris Gilbert and Alona's Dream Records this may have never seen the light of day. The mastering is impeccable and musically it sounds exactly like what it is—the real thing. It is a must-have for any serious psych/garage collection."—Craig Moore, GONN / Younger Than Yesterday
