Although the label was named for them, Rounder Records does not
contain a complete repository of the works of the Holy Modal
Rounders. In fact, only the group's 1975 album, Alleged in Their Own
Time, and its 1999 reunion disc, Too Much Fun!, were released on
Rounder. But due to their marginal commercial appeal and their own
inclinations, the Rounders have been inherently unstable as a band
through the years, frequently splitting into different
configurations, such that members have participated in several other
recordings of a like sensibility, including Michael Hurley's Have
Moicy, Long Journey, and Snockgrass and Jeffrey Frederich's Spiders
in the Moonlight. The band's two founding members, Peter Stampfel and
Steve Weber, reunited as Stampfel & Weber for Rounder's Going Nowhere
Fast album in 1981, and Stampfel's post-Rounders band the Bottlecaps
made Peter Stampfel and the Bottlecaps for the label. All of these
albums are drawn upon for this compilation, which therefore presents
a comprehensive look at the varied styles and assorted craziness of
Rounders music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. There is, first of all,
the original band, dominated by Stampfel and Weber, who draw on
traditional folk and old-timey country, but to strange effect. They
capture the semi-professional style of '20s hillbilly bands, but they
append their own perspective. Followers like Hurley and Frederichs
pick up on that in their slightly better organized and more
professionally sung material. And Stampfel's Bottlecaps, while not
quite slick, sound like it in this context, whether they're sending
up disco in "Impossible Groove" or Jimmy Buffett-style island music
in "Everything Must Go." This is not a definitive compilation of the
Holy Modal Rounders and their offspring, but it may be as close as
anyone is ever going to come, and it gives a good sense of their
fractured worldview.

From now on, we rip everything in VBR, using --alt-preset standard.
h e l p f u f f e n s
We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
