For those of us who've been known to haunt local record stores, you must have at some point visited Esoteric Records, once on Broadway, and then L St and El Camino, and now on Fulton in Sacto. It is very sad for me to pass on the information (for those who don't know yet) that the owner of Esoteric Records, Denis Tomassetti passed away last week, after a car wreck in Sacramento. He was hit in his pickup on the drivers side by a tow truck and passed away as a result of his injuries.
He will certainly be missed.
So to kick off the radio show at 10pm: Here's a handful of records I've bought at Esoteric Records over the years, then we'll launch into the regular program.
Thanks for listening.
Pictured: The Rising Storm's LP 'The Calm Before', one Truly Great 60s somber garage LP from New England. Tones of Love/Zombies/verging on psycvhedelia. And one of my faves too.
Genre
Psych & Rock
