Newbury has a slew of their releases in exclusive pressings - these had been out of print a while and are worth picking up if you like this stuff. For the sale: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/newbury-exclusives-1499-and-under (hint: use the LOAD MORE button at the bottom to keep going) For all Monster Rally at Newbury: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/vendors?q=Monster%20Rally (note: you won't see the sale prices on the 3 titles until you click to their respective pages - Crystal Ball, Return to Paradise, & Adventures on the Floating Island) I have no connection to Newbury or MR; just like these records and think some of you will too. Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv-bFCsudGw Aloha, Rupe [ Edited by rupe33 on 2022-12-05 09:44:14 ] [ Edited by rupe33 on 2022-12-05 09:45:23 ]

They are quite an interesting group. They performed in summer of 2022 in Los Angeles but I was unable to make it to their show. I hope they return.

Had an email conversation with Ted (the man behind Monster Rally), who says he describes his music as "tropical hip hop, influenced by exotica." Combine all that together = tripxotica!
