E J Simpson - When The Grass Grows Over Me [USA, Country] (198-) Anyone with even a passing interest in country music knows that it can get pretty dark. The sweetness and naiveté of the delivery by Ms. Simpson only emphasizes the pitch black theme. Brutal.

Shuttah - The Wizard [UK ; Prog Rock / Psychedelic Rock] (1971) "The names of the band members, songwriters, and producers involved in The Image Maker are all unknown. To add to the mystery, this release comes from the only known copy of an acetate, which is the only proof Shuttah ever existed."
