Don’t you hate when they leave off that one good song from a movie soundtrack? I really liked 2003′s “Lost In Translation“, including it’s soundtrack. The “released” soundtrack features some great songs (“Just Like Honey” by Jesus & Marychain comes to mind), but they left off this great one, which was also probably the hardest to find.”The Mary Butterworth Group” was s Southern California rock band formed in the spring of 1968. They performed locally and the following year they recorded their private press album entitled Mary Butterworth. It was sold to friends and fans only and was never made available to the general public. Shortly thereafter, the group split up and never performed together again.
Fast forward 30 years and “Mary Butterworth” had become one of the most collectible private press psyche-rock records around, going for around a $1000 on ebay.
Fortunately, this legendary album is now available on CD and MP3 at the band’s website . Thanks to Atom for this one!

I was a roadie for these guys, mainly humping the Hammond B3 and accessories, all over SoCal, and had a copy of the original pressing which I had for years. A beeyatch sold it along with a whole bunch of other stuff while I was trucking cross country in the early 90s.
If you get to hear this album, know that the reverb effects were added in UNAUTHORIZED by the tech. They were never heard in live performances.
Visualize Whirled Peas.
