A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s selections: Jon Astley “Jane’s Getting Serious” 1987 and Superfine Dandelion – “Janie’s Tomb” 1967
They just seem to go together …

Jon Astley is a British record producer and recording engineer. The list of groups he worked with is extensive: The Who, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, etc. He recorded two albums as songwriter/singer in the late ’80s. “Jane’s Getting Serious” is the most prominent of these.

Superfine Dandelion was a 1967 garage rock band out of Phoenix. They recorded one no-hit album and broke up in 1968. One of their members – Rick Anderson – became the founding bassist for the Tubes.
