Tanin Jazz - Virtual Love

guys i've found something weird.

it's an album, supposedly called goodbye (though it clearly says 'goodbye dolphin' on the cover) by a band called savend! spotify says it came out in 1977 and it has a private stock records logo clearly visible on the cover art.

https://open.spotify.com/album/6Ba8svyZ96gktErPqS6x46?si=aLNFh2Y1SK6h80NaoJ4l0w

it sounds like a late 70s private halls+oates album. the first track is called "imagination dancing" and it's a seriously good whiteboy roller disco bop. the singer has that very pleasing neil tennant/al stewart quality to their voice and there's a song about saving the ocean and some really fun production things happening.

thing is, i can't find any other evidence of it ever existing outside of spotify.

oh yeah, it showed up in my "recommended for today."

seriously, how do you say no to this cover?

notice the listed band name appears nowhere on that cover.

andy, my official sherlock homie, solved some of it pretty fast: https://www.discogs.com/release/6725555-Dolphin-Goodbye

https://www.discogs.com/artist/1135409-Paul-Carman-2

but that still leaves the question: where did the name savend! (stylized w/exclamation) come from? it's nearly impossible to search, as everything assumes you mean the album saved! by whatsizname.

all that to say, check out "imagination dancing" it rooolzzz!!!

dolphin - "imagination dancing" (1977)

and yes, dolphin has their own page on spotify. it's all digital 45s.

is "savend" Swedish?

Don't think so no

Maybe some metatdata editing script with "save" and "end" commands got injected because of misspellings and an exclamation point.

idk, that script stuff is outside my sphere of knowledge. it's weird in any case, especially considering the proper profile for dolphin.

also should we have a paul carman thread? the more i look into him, the more jams i find.

and yeah, my first inclination was to run the word "savend" through google translate. came up with "saved" in many cases, including swedish.

Maybe we need a thread for lesser-known post-Rundgren white boy 70s soul

white soul

a blast from the past, the person who started that thread was once one of my best friends, and has since had multiple psychotic episodes and is a ward of his father. he has me blocked but emails me totally insane obscure youtube videos sometimes.
