Makiah - God Of Aud / Big Rhyder (1971) [Original US Single]

Makiah - God Of Aud b/w Big Rhyder
Original 1971 45 RPM single
Lybra ‎– LR 7103 (Discogs)
~ThePoodleBites rip in 96kHz / 24bit FLAC + full hi-res scans~

I haven't been able to uncover any information yet about Makiah. Apparently they were a band from Los Angeles, California that recorded only this one private single around 1970-1971. Listening to the music, one hears vocal echoes of The Doors, who a couple years beforehand were regulars on the L.A. scene, but also UK influences in the Revolver-esque tape reverb that makes your head swim ("Big Rhyder"). Overall there's fantastic guitar playing, trippy flute, convincing vocals, and creative songwriting which contribute to a strange adrenaline-fueled psychedelic storm.

Thanks to C.F. for lending this ethereal 45 out for a proper restoration project!

    Interesting private press single indeed. I like the trippy flute on the B-side with the guitar solo relaying the flute solo. Thanks for sharing this HR rip of a seemingly completely forgotten little gem.

      Thanks for the comment, Vincent! I like the flute on the B-side as well. Apparently both tracks from this single were once slated for reissue on a compilation of obscure Californian 45s which never appeared...

    Eu não sei como capturar o áudio MARIAH 1971, descompactando o zipper, o áudio zero ou algum ruído.
    no Drive.Google.com , informa sobre armazenamento, seria isso ?
    Obrigado, amigo, até la vista.
