Finders Keepers

Welcome to Finders Keepers, an independent archival collective founded by Andy Votel and Doug Shipton. With a passion for unearthing lost musical treasures, we are dedicated to preserving and sharing *rare* and *obscure* sounds from around the world.

Our extensive catalogue features a diverse range of genres including *psychedelic*, *funk*, *library music*, *soundtracks*, and more. We take pride in our meticulous approach to curating releases, ensuring that each album is carefully remastered and packaged with love.

As champions of forgotten artists and overlooked gems, we strive to bring these hidden musical treasures into the spotlight. From obscure European film scores to rare Middle Eastern funk, our releases offer a unique listening experience that transcends boundaries.

Lost love songs and self-pressed pop acetates by this previously unheard Californian folk duo from beneath the shadows of the Hollywood Hills. These recordings of unreleased and unknown American acidic folk and acoustic pop were made in the late 60s by husband and wife duo Don and Stevie Gere. For over 40 years they've sat untouched and unplayed in a box of unmarked studio tapes at their family home in Los Angeles.As original pop songs and guitar based arrangements from the man who made the stoner psych soundtrack for cult movie 'Werewolves On Wheels', these rescued one-off pressings were sung in harmony with his teenage sweetheart and lifelong partner, Stevie Howard, and recorded at LA based walk-in studio sessions.Sprouting a missing branch in the family tree of LA based artists like Curt Boetcher and Doug Rhodes (The Millennium), Waddy Wachtel (Buckingham Nicks) David Gates (Bread) and members of The Steve Miller Band, this LP includes original versions of tracks written for or featuring all of the above, as well as destroyed and unreleased film music. What might have been considered lost treasure has until now remained previously unshared outside of the duo's own private relationship, presenting fans of obscure folk and privately produced pop with a unique album that defies collectability and paints a fuller picture of a lesser- spotted enigma in uninhabited unison with his closest musical confidant.
