Truth & Janey – Topeka Jam: Live 1974 (2020, Rockadrome/Vintage) Retro 2LP Vinyl

This 2020 double LP presents rare live recordings of the legendary US heavy rock band Truth & Janey , recorded in 1974 in Topeka, Kansas. The performance showcases the raw energy and exuberance of the band, led by guitarist Billy Lee Janey , whose sound oscillates between blues-rock, psychedelic, and proto-metal . The tracks are long, improvised, and heavy—an authentic document of American 70s live music. Released on Rockadrome/Vintage , this edition features high-quality double vinyl, newly remastered audio, and faithful reproduction of the original artwork.

Historical background:
Truth & Janey formed in the early 1970s in Iowa and are considered one of the most influential yet underrated heavy rock bands of the American underground scene. Their studio album *No Rest for the Wicked* (1976) is a cult classic of the proto-metal genre. *Topeka Jam* documents the band's raw early days with recordings from 1974 – still unpolished at the time, but brimming with improvisational power. These live sessions circulated only on bootlegs for decades before being officially released on Rockadrome Records .
