My So-Called Life is, according to Funk, a much more immediate document than any of its predecessors, most of its tracks taking just a day or two to create. The claim is impressive in some cases, less so in others. It’s a hit and miss album, but its high points salvage it from inconsequentiality, as does the obsessive restlessness of Funk’s creativity, which is always of interest even when it isn’t yielding its best results.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is one of Russ Meyer's greatest movies, capturing everything that was good and ridiculous about the 60s all in one place (although it was actually released in 1970). It tells the story of the best all-girl rock band ever, the Carrie Nations and their battle with fame and the fickle music industry. The music was by Stu Phillips of the Strawberry Alarm Clock ("Incense and Peppermints") with help from Lyn Carey amongst others. It's classic jangly 60s pop, and the SAC play at one of Z-Man's parties, so you get some classics from them.

When The Tower of Power left Warner Bros. for Epic, many felt that it was a good move.This second Columbia album was a marked comedown from the first, which was erratic but still contained the essential Tower ingredients — hook-laden songs, exuberant vocals, and punchy charts and instrumental support.
