Description
HARDIN & RUSSELL RING OF BONE Tom's second collaboration with Patricia Hardin. In 1977, Vanguard Records offered them a deal but disaster struck when their own lawyer endeavoured to alter a minor point in the contract and the label pulled out of the deal. Devastated, Pat and Tom elected to cut their second album, Wax Museum, for release on their own label. “We wanted an outside producer, a full backup band and no investors. We got all of that and I financed the entire album. A recent reviewer commented it was ‘unfortunate’ that I sold my ‘family farm’ to do it. That’s an unkind exaggeration. What I actually sold was a few acres out of one of the farms my paternal grandfather left me in his will, and I’ve never regretted it a day since. You’ll notice on the back cover of Wax Museum the ‘special thanks to Charlie Mattlage and the Burton Place’—that’s my grandfather and the farm I’m referring to.” Wax Museum was produced by Bernie Krause, formerly of the Weavers. Lyrically eclectic as ever, Hardin’s material included “Who is Franz Rummer?”, a song about an English concert pianist, the Western-flavoured “Stampede”, and “The Phantom of Balance”, which was inspired by Ringling Brothers trapeze artist Elvin Bale. Patricia Hardin and Tom Russell split up in 1979. “The loss of the Vanguard contract had taken its toll on both of us,” explains Hardin. “We worked harder than ever, recording the second album, touring, putting a band together. “The main problem was I never got any rest. I was a divorced single parent. Between the rigours of being a good mother, I don't know when, if ever, I slept. In the spring of 1979, I finally had a total collapse from physical and emotional exhaustion. My doctor gave me two choices: stop and rest, or keep going and die.” The band dissolved a month later. From an interview with Patricia Hardin by Arthur Wood and found on Patricia's website House Of Wax Stampede P.S. Tarantula "Joshua Tree" is a tribute to Gram Parsons Wildhorse Annie who is pictured twice on the inner lyric sheet.

I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. These are the first of very many items that i now want to sell. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last 6 months or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I'm not going to 'Bible bash' or 'rant and rave', I simply want you to understand my reasoning. With this in mind, i will leave it up to you to look up 2 sets of verses, if you want to. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains my anonymity whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
