BOBO WILSON "Indian-Uprising" b/w "Alcatraz Rock"

Original 1970 45 on the US MCDONNELL'S label

Vinyl:  Plays VG++

Completely obscure self-released garage punker from 1970 outta the Bay Area San Francisco with strong Indian vibes.  No, I ain't talkin' Ravi Shankar Indian this time.  Ol' Bobo Wilson's got a beef to pick with the people who took over his country, AMERICAN Indian style.  "Indian Uprising" should tell you all you need to know by the title, and if not he adds in some trippy fuzz guitar and quivery organ just in case you didn't think the American Indian could rock (as if Cher didn't already prove that).  "Alcatraz Rock" is more of a mystery - a cool stompin' garage punker that lives and dies on the organ, but the lyrics are, well, odd to say the least:  "The white man took our land, he killed the buffalo...we give him cow and turkey, tobacco and canoe, and all he gave us was phony beads and booze."  The kicker:  "We're talkin' about Alcatraz, cuz Alcatraz, baby, is the Rock."  Silly Bobo.  Dwayne Johnson is the Rock.

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
