Craig Nixon from acoustic levitation was kind enough to share Pete Yellin's Dance of Allegra [MRL 363] with the shad shack. Not sure who else was involved in the session yet, but the title tracks a goodie and there are some seriously funky moments on this LP. Cheers Craig!
Last but far from least, Katonah has solved one of our Mainstream mysteries by posting MRL 408 over at private press, a sweet little sampler of some strong offerings out of the shack's stack. He also gave us our first look at the cover, one of the four we hadn't been able to dig up - that means there's only three covers missing from our collection: MRL 350, MRL 372 and MRL 405. We're previewing the Buddy Terry track from the compilation since it is the only one not currently available elsewhere in the shack on the original artists' LPs. Thanks Katonah!!!
This puts the shad shack's collection at 41 of the 122 red lion releases, so we're sittin' at just over 1/3 of the run already archived. Thanks to all the big game hunters out there and don't forget to visit them and express your appreciation for their contributions. Also be sure to check the lion's share thread and its comments regularly (you could even subscribe to them if you were so inclined) for an up-to-date list of available LPs and notifications when additions have been made.
We'd also like to remind you that there's lots of label love to go around these days and urge you to check out The Pride links on the right for more discographical devotion!

You're doing great work here Cheeba. Love your "lion" theme and the visuals, very well thought out. But as I sit flipping through pages I start to drool at some of these albums I've never heard or even heard of. Can't wait to see what else pops up.
