Shoestring Bundle

Operating in a basement studio at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, pipeline man Howard Neal and his appropriately named Shoestring label was Alton, Illinois’ answer to a question no one asked. Pressed in minuscule numbers and barely outside the 62002 zip code, the singles by The James Family, Jimmie Green, Pete & Cheez, and Carletta Sue are prime examples of cosmic midwestern disco in search of a break. This heavy weight 10-song LP is housed in a tip-on sleeve, and includes an essay and imagery that complete the picture of this pure expression of small-town soul.

This bundle includes the Eccentric Soul Shoestring Compilation LP and the 7" of Jimmie Green's Dance b/w Let Yourself Go. This compilation was co=produced by Star Creature's Tim Zawada and Kool Hersh plus features art and design from Star Creature Collaborator Eliza Weber. 

Vinyl Only.
