Any Way I Managed to Hold on To This For 50 Plus Years Randy Holden – Population II Hobbit Records – HB 5002 USA 1970
- Matrix / Runout: Side A: 6-137 1-D STEREO
- Matrix / Runout: Side B: 6-138 1-D STEREO
Recorded in an opera house on 20 Sunn amps wired in parallel (‘It was the only place we could rehearse that would carry all the amplification’) an ex-member of instrumental surf loons Fender VI; also Sons of Adam lead guitarist , this co-writer of the slow semi-achieving The Other Half , POPULATION 2 sounds absolutely unlike any other LP (even the similarly epic-styled side 2 of NEW! IMPROVED! BLUE CHEER which Randy wrote on his own before disappearing). With Randy waiting around for POPULATION 2 to get any proper release, he went into ‘a state of deep shock’ when a Hobbit Records executive accused him of spending all his time having fun. "I worked my butt off for twenty hours a day rehearsing, writing, just total devotion, seven days a week, and this clown is sitting there with some illusion that I’m going to the beach". In a state of severe despair, Randy then learned that an equipment manager at his management company had sold all 20 Sunn amplifiers and his Gibson SG Deluxe to a Hollywood music store. It proved to be the end for Randy Holden’s poetic mind, and he was utterly destroyed. "I really wasn’t sure if I was gonna be alive the next minute, it was so bad". By the end of that same year (1970), he’d abandoned all hopes of making music and moved to Hawaii, where he took up fishing and the buying and selling of boats.
