Maxine Feldman: Closet Sale (1979)

Galaxia GAL 003

This is Maxine Feldman's only record. It was a thrift shop find (99¢), in good shape. It is not on CD.

"Maxine Feldman sang "Angry Atthis" during the Stonewall Riot in 1969. It subsequently became one of the most widely known/sung lesbian solidarity songs of the seventies." – www.hogelandshoeve.nl/33%20outloud/data/loudf.htm

From the back cover: "Maxine Feldman has been an out-front lesbian feminist for over ten years, singing with pride what others were only whispering."

Thanks for visiting, Carlos. Sorry, I gave this LP to some friends. But there are a couple of tracks from it posted on YouTube.

(Update: my digitization process was foiled by advancing technology; I mostly post work that others have digitized for YouTube. Older tracks should still be accessible per the following procedure) Click on any song title to go to a box.net page for that song. Our goal is to post only tracks that are not available on CD or as mp3s – songs that cannot be purchased anywhere. We hope to raise interest in these out-of-print LPs without taking away a single cent of revenue from those who profit from the sale of music. If you find any of these tracks available digitally, please contact us and they will be promptly removed.

If you enjoyed any of the music, please leave a comment. I hope that these sample tracks will inspire you to track down this out-of-print music.

All LPs are cleaned with a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, then converted to CD using a harman/kardon home audio CD recorder, which uses an AKM 24-bit/96 kHz analog-to-digital converter. No digital or electronic effects are used. (Prior to November 12, 2012, all LPs were cleaned with a Spin Clean Record Washer.)
