VA Matter Dominates Spirit
Matter Dominates Spirit (A Tribute To Jim Shepard)
"This is the extended version of the Jim Shepard tribute LP that was released in 2001 on Meta Records. It contains a lot of covers of Shepard's work... but more importantly, CD 6 (Perimeter) contains the recordings that was supposed to be the material for his next album (the one after the motorcycle movie)."
Huge thanks to the original uploader.

The Ultimate Prophecy (1970)
"JD Blackfoot was like a hero to me, who just had songs in his head but didn't necessarily had the notion to be a rock n roll star someday." -Mike "Rep" Hummel

Slit & Pre-Slit (1977/2010)
"Slit And Pre-Slit was Jim Shepard’s first ever release, privately pressed in an edition of only 100 copies in 1977 and mostly given away to friends and musical/cultural heroes like Lester Bangs, Todd Rundgren, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Brian Eno, John Cale etc. Its extreme rarity has meant that few have had the chance to wrap their ears around it, but those in the know have consistently pronounced it Shepard’s best."

Tommy Jay & Mike Rep
The Grim-O Comix Sequence (1974-75)
"The Grim-O Comix Sequence was a cycle of songs recorded over the course of the summer/fall after Tommy Jay and Mike Rep graduated from high school. It is intended to be some sort of never meant to be released folk rock opera, touching on all the concerns of the day - frustration of minimum wage work, unrequited love, insignificance, and hopelessness - which incredibly remained wholly unreleased and under tight lock and key for all of these years. Listening to these recordings, you can hear them experimenting with recording and songwriting techniques that would end up being staples of their respective musical identities... Like everything everybody does in high school, this recording isn't without its cringe-worthy moments, but it's great to hear the beginnings of two burgeoning songwriter/ producers with talents beyond their years." - Columbus Discount
