J.F. Murphy & Salt made a huge impact in late 60s and early 70s rock, forming a New York band that achieved cult-like status. Part of the hippie/psychedelic movement, J.F. Murphy & Salt played at the legendary debacle, Powder Ridge Rock Festival.Aside from the rampant use of recreational drugs, this period in rock developed a political dimension that couldn't be ignored. J.F. Murphy & Salt remains a legend in this era, giving listeners of that era fond rock memories. http://www.fabu.com/brand/jfmurphysalt

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for this for years. Finally! Great post.
thanks - sounds awfully nice !!
Great, thanks for this. This is one of the few artists with (at least) 5 LPs but almost nothing available on the net. Good to get a chance to hear this group at last.

Not exactly prog, eh? But nice - most crap indie rock these days would envy such interesting, hook-y production. Singer sounds kinda like Paul Westerberg
Been listening to this all weekend, it's really good songwriting. Like the previous comment said, these songs are better than most stuff you hear on current radio, why is this so unknown? Thanks a million for finding and sharing Isabel.
how can i download it without having an account on that page?!!!!!
account?
what page?
Can you post their 1972 self-titled debut? Thank you.

Thank you so much!
Wow. Thank you. This might be the only page on the internet where you can find this tune. You are awesome, Isabelbc.
thank you so much for this. This whole blog has been a great discovery for me today. what a fantastic collection ! keep it up brother.
An earlier Murphy project, 'STRANGE NIGHT VOYAGE' by the Merchants of Dream, originally released in 1968 by A&M Records (SP 4149), has just been reissued as a UK import CD. It's available via amazon.com.
What's with the Binverse or Usenet sign-ups??
I have no idea what happened to the other servers (megaupload, rapidshare etc), perhaps this problem is temporary, please try again tomorrow, if the problem persists I'll re-upload, ok?
the problem hasnt gone away!
new link http://lix.in/-9e0f18
thx for new link, megaupload is done the owner is arrested and facing up to 50 years for copyright infridgement and money laundering. I think mediafire is fine still.

Thank you! I loved the song posted on here
Forgot how powerful this song was. Thanks for having it available.
1971, Cullowhee, NC (Western Carolina Univ.) They opened for the Byrds, and I was awestruck. Went immediately out to order album. I still consider them one of my top 10 favorites. Silver Horn and The Example are amazing songs. I use The Example in teaching middle school poetry.
Do you have a new link for the self titled album? The other links for it are dead. Thank you.
