This was Lee Joseph's band, founder of Dionysus Records. Yard Trauma came out of Tucson/Arizona and their first album "Must've Been Something I Took Last Night" was re-released a year later by Lolita Records (Lolita 5084 / 1986) in France retitled as "No Conclusions". Although the tracks were from various sessions this is a pretty coherent record and will please garage and psychedelic heads as well.Tracklist:
- No Conclusions
- Only Mistakes
- I've Seen You Walking
- Situations
- Dreamt In Colour
- Just A Dream
- Must've Been Something I Took Last Night
- Over And Over
- I'm Invisible

Thank you for No Conclusions album. You are a great blog mr.
Hi antonius,
sorry, I must disappoint you. Although I have the vinyl edition of the Angel Pavement the CD ist still available by various mailorders. On this blog I'm (trying) to post rare, out of print or hard to get music. Please understand that I don't want to enter into competition with mailorders. Maybe I'm a bit square.
Hi, Buff'
Many many thanx for this one I was looking for for a long time !
I only had it on a 20 years old audio tape, you can imagine the sound quality...
Really happy !!!

Hi! Wow trip out you put this up on January 30, 2008 and on January 31 - my 50th birthday, there were all these great comments! And - you've nailed the complete discography. I honestly don't think about my past much as I like to live in the now but I feel honored after coming across this post.
One of these days I'll get some of the Yard Trauma stuff back in print or at least available legit on iTunes, etc. In the meantime visit my website
