My main goal is to prevent people from trying to capitalize by selling these long out of print albums for lots of money. I want everybody who would like to hear these albums to be able to do so without paying outrageous prices.

Most of the Loud Family catalog can be streamed free of charge on Spotify and other streaming music services.

The Squares Are Taking Acid.  Lots of late sixties lysergic flavored pop, filled with happiness and sunshine doses of easy listening
