We’re very psyched to announce our newest release! Blue Ash - “Dinner at Mr Billy’s” - a compilation featuring the first session they ever booked at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia all the way to the final track they recorded at Peppermint in 1979. One of the most seasoned & hardest working bands in the area, playing over 250 shows a year (sometimes playing 3 dances in a single night!) This is a comp for the BLASH heads as well as folks just scratching the surface. Hear songs that have been locked in the Peppermint vaults for over 50 years! Make your reservations for a full helping of psych tinged power pop rock for “Dinner at Mr Billy’s” TODAY!

Available in Black or BLASH BLUE!

Special thanks to Toby Seay at Drexel University Audio Archives for Sigma tape transfers & our Philadelphia brother Max Ochester at Brewerytown Records for connecting the dots.
