This is also amazing! It features five tracks each from Roberta Vandervort and Sally Townes—a total of 10 songs—from their self-produced recordings made between 1977 and 1983. It’s a fantastic journey spanning jazz-funk, soft rock, AOR, and folk—though, interestingly, these two artists actually had no connection; this is a compilation curated by L.A.-based Forager Records. Rather than just another compilation from the 2020s streaming era, it’s a gem that truly showcases exceptional taste.

At first glance, the distinctly ’70s-style artwork might lead you to think this is just another reissue, but it turns out to be an edited split release with a modern cover design—an intriguing production that makes you wonder if it’s a reimagining of rare groove or perhaps another ’90s revival.
Forager Records was launched in Los Angeles in 2020 by record collector and designer Matthew Bruce and Sam Hirschfelder, who handles audio restoration and mastering. This is a gem from Forager Records, whose motto is direct dialogue with the artists themselves and their families, meticulous research, and official licensing.
Suitable for all generations. Undeniably good music!!!! Every track is great, but personally, I love Roberta Vandervort’s “Hey Now (sample2),” which has a Northeastern Brazilian vibe—though there are plenty of other great tracks too! This one’s a must-have on vinyl! (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
