According to one ebay lister:
An odd and ultra rare item with SUN RA and several ARKESTRA members backing limbo queen ROZ CRONEY.
This obscure session took place at small Mastertone Studios on 42nd street between 6th and 7th ave, New York City, in 1963.
Following members of the SUN RA ARKESTRA are joining great ROZ CRONEY on this unique record:

***As far as I know this is the only longplayer by ROZ CRONEY who only recorded some impossible to find obscure 7 1/2 inches in the late fifties and early sixties.

“After a search lasting two years, this heretofore legendary appearance by Sun Ra and Members of the Arkestra was identified by John Szwed and James Wolf. Ed Bland (producer, arranger and conductor of this LP) told John Szwed that Sunny was hired to write lead sheets for Curly Williams, who contributed much of the music on the disc and whistled the tunes to Sunny. He recalls Ra playing keyboards and the Arkestra’s saxophonists participating. Sunny can be heard on tack piano (an instrument he was not otherwise known to play), and more recognizably on organ. Marshall and John are clearly present; the use of morrow (playing few, sharply articulated notes as to avoid the extreme bends characteristic of Marshall’s home-made instrument) is particularly striking.” (Robert Campbell and Chris Trent, from The Earthly Recordings Of Sun Ra’, 2nd edition)
Yes, How Much Is That Doggie In the Window Limbo is good, too.

FU-2 - Maybe (1977, United Kingdome)
FU-2 not F.U.2 but both from the U.K. so much confusion could be had if you didn’t notice that these blokes aren’t olden, wearing headcoats. Helen Of Troy, the soudafrikaner dwarf and fashionista, is all up in the mix. Loverly!

CHAINSAW - Polaride Pictures (1978, The Americas)
Fake punk rock by older gentler mens is usually more better to mine ears that Allah the turds the sophisticated tape winders are flogging about in yon blogosphere. I imagine this song playing on and on while scarf n stache wearing late 30s L.A. bros are promising future Oui punk shoots to pouty runaways and future real life stand-in whores for the Desi Arnez Jr. biopic Vice Squad. Blow and Schlitz and flyers for Snuky Tate all ages shows stuck on the wood paneled walls, such a promise, such sexy diseases. The sneers in the song, the fake and unpalatable contempt, thee I wish I had some sleazy cooze to take pics of heavy vibe is fab and brill Johnny O’Rotten stylee. Hopp3 said that I would like this song, LIKE this song, whatever man, I’ll get around to listening to it eventually, oh fuck, stuck. Love it. “See you later………if evah!”
The pic of the sleeve gently borrowed from the WWW has a stain on it. Class acts.

In 1976 Zamfir was looking for a new direction. Helene had left him, and it seemed interest in the panflute was waning. As documented in his autobiography, Binecuvântare şi blestem (“Blessing and Curse”), (Arad: Mirador, 2000,) Gheorghe had been hanging out with the burgeoning Bucharest punks, who encouraged him to try moving in a different direction. Though he doesn’t mention it in his book, we believe this was a result of the influence of those punk rockers.

TIGHT FITS “Pink Cake” the B side to the All Balls 7” on Rat City Records from 1995. Dutch said about the song back then, “remember in elementary school when you’d get some shitty pink cake at lunch in the cafeteria? Maybe this song is about that too.” Agree fully.
