Late 60s & early 70s sounds from Brazil’s Jovem Guarda movement – raw numbers influenced by the Brit Invasion and rock & roll sounds of the US from the early-to-mid 60s onward – great stuff from Brazilian singers who would go on to be very famous and other comparable obscurities!

Jovem Guarda Golpe Final! “Luzes da Avenida (1971)”

The Jovem Gurada scene is rooted in the mid 60s and this set features a bunch of tunes that came at sort of the tailend of the movement in the early 70s, and some 60s groovers, too.

This long-lost Parisian skin flick 'Jeunes Filles Impudiques' (AKA Schoolgirl Hitchhikers) marks a particularly vulnerable period in the career of one of the most underrated and misunderstood directors to emerge from the rising smoke of the 1968 Parisian social explosion.

From a director with early links with the Paris underground, The Letterists, The surrealists, improv theater and the free-press comes the reclaimed audio tracks from one of his rarest celluloid moments - but lets not confuse this for high-art. Finders Keepers make no bones, this is Jean Rollin's maiden voyage into adult entertainment, directed under the pseudonym of Miche Gentil with a flimsy plot, questionable acting skills and an awesome little schizophrenic soundtrack.

Pierre Raph – Schoolgirl Hitchhikers

The Brutus Drums percussion workout, the acidic folk pastoral movements, the Cul-De-Sac-esque jazz theme and the UK library sound-alike tile-tune all make up this 5 track veritable banquet of Gallic sleaze and second-class sound providing fans of cult cinema and b-music with an unexpected glimpse into the No-No generation at its most candid.

The interests of good taste have ensured that this long-lost movie has been buried for some 40 odd years with a musical score bursting to jump out of the can and down your tone arm which has now been made possible by a recently renovated negative print and new source material. These original Pierre-Raph (of ‘Requiem For A Vampire’ infamy) compositions from the publishing Library of Paris’ Musicale Editions Dellamarre (of Acanthus / Unity fame) come straight from Rollin himself as an introduction to Finders Keepers’ new Rollinade series documenting some of the finest musical moments of the director’s career as an avant-gardener, counter-culture vulture and Gallic vamp-tramp all housed in their original hand-painted promotional artwork for the first time ever on vinyl.

These guys were a trio from California (apparently they’re Korean War veterans) and as far as i know this private press LP is their only release. This album had some pretty strange moments lyrically. These are only surpassed by their use of a home made instrument called a Brass Orchestra Cabinet .. It’s like a homemade pipe organ made of trumpets and other horns….
