I have a copy of their very first vinyl-only EP that Tommy Atkins gave me, "The Man With The Lamp". I never played it but I've heard it...unfortunately l can't recommend this one.
I have a download of that somewhere. It’s fair to say they hadn’t hit their stride yet. Really big jump from that to the first LP.
I saw Yeti at Wreck Room. I walked two blocks to the show. Several proggy bands used to play the Wreck Room. I still own a Sivad CD. Named after Miles Davis, every Sivad show was improvised. They were led by trumpeter Karl Poetschke. Sivad also featured Fort Worth drummer Quincy Holloway, bassist/guitarist Tony Chapman, guitarist Daniel Huffman, bassist Chris Perdue, Dana Sudborough, and Dave Monsch. The shows ranged from something like Big Fun to a wild outdoor show on the Kimbal Art Museum lawn that sounded like Davis playing in early Zeppelin...sans Plant's vocals, of course.

During one of my regular searches in the hope that the Master Cylinder album might one day get a CD release, I found this on Joe Rogers' site (https://joerogersmusic.com/about):
"Around that time I started a band, Master Cylinder, that lasted for over 10 years. Many musicians were part of the group, and at one time we had a woodwinds player, a brass player, violin, cello, bass, 2 drummers, and me on guitar and keyboards. I was able to write for a wide range of instruments. We released 2 albums on a New York label, which can still be found in bargain basement record stores and on the internet."
I always thought there was just the one album - anyone have any info on a possible second?
Joe is incorrect.
Maybe they recorded a second that never came out, but there is no second album that was released.

There was a second (unreleased) album. I don’t remember what Joe told me about it. I think tapes were lost.
Thanks Steve F. and LASERCD for your responses - you confirmed what I suspected Has the live recording from the S.F. Museum Of Modern Art 1976 ever been considered for release?
^ ^ ^ ^
You are talking to two record labels who both tried unsuccessfully (decades and decades ago) to try and work with this band. It didn't happen then and it ain't happening now.
Could the band decide to throw open the vaults? Sure, I guess so. Write to them, and post here if you ever hear from them. In any event, Ken and I aren't going to be involved.

I sent a message to Joe Rogers a couple of days ago and got a reply back today. He didn't comment on the possibility (or otherwise) of releasing the album on CD, but did relay more information about the unreleased second album. Apparently this was to be called 'Moonlit' and was set to be issued on Inner City Records like the first (which is why his bio talks of 2 albums), but they went bankrupt before that could happen. The masters got lost and he doesn't even have a cassette copy himself, but piqued by my enquiry he is going to check with the other band members. Fingers crossed...
Thank you Steve
i sent him a message a few days ago as well and got the same reply just today haha!!
