Lost 1968 recording by Nanaimo's Glass Cage finally gets released!

Marcus Pollard found a mysterious acetate in a Port Alberni thrift shop which turned out to be the 1968 demo of Nanaimo's Glass Cage. 

In the summer of 1968, five Nanaimo, BC teenagers recorded an exciting six-song demo of West Coast garage psych. Cut to an acetate then lost to time for 50+ years. Until now. Watch the story of the Glass Cage's lost recording right here and below.

“I LOVE the Glass Cage!” – Grant Lawrence, CBC Radio

“Newly unearthed garage rock classic ... terrific California-style psychedelia”

Craig “Rockin’ Prof” Morrison, Ethnomusicologist

“A garage rock gem” John Dwyer, Osees
