Luie Luie creator of "Touchy" (Companion Records)

"Some years ago, a Los Angeles area collector stumbled across an orphaned copy of the "Touchy" in a thrift store. It was shared through tape trading networks and bootlegged on vinyl -- now, Companion Records is proudly offering this first official "Touchy" CD release.
Luie Luie has to be the most jaw-dropping one-man-band lounge act found to date. The "Touchy" serves as an conceptual dance album, an experimental album, as well as a sort of healing LP for '60s burn-outs. What can his music be compared to? Nothing that we know of. Be sure and check out the must hear MP3s below."

Buy the cd if you dare!

Camp

"Almost nothing is known about the mysterious 60's record label Camp Records. They released an album and 10 45 rpm records of gay parody songs, most done with effeminate voices. I believe they were issued in the early 60's, as they all appeared in an ad in the gay magazine Vagabond, dated 1965. The address on the album record jacket was PO Box 3213, Hollywood, California, and it credited all selections to "Different Music Co, Hollywood.""
Read more, see more and listen (a lot of gay music to stream)!
