Tune in for a guest show by Sal Cataldi.

On this edition of Audio Buffet, Hudson Valley-based musician and writer Sal Cataldi speaks with the authors/editors of The White Label Promo Preservation Society: 100 Flop Albums You Ought To Know.

This delicious deep dive into music deserving greater recognition was written and compiled by Sal Maida, NYC-born bassist for Roxy Music, Sparks and ‘70s power pop combo Milk ‘n’ Cookies, and veteran rock journalist and A&R exec Mitchell Cohen. The duo recruited for their “society” a gang of esteemed music obsessives – musicians, label executives and journalists – who chose favorite albums from the ‘60s and ‘70s to rave about, from obscurities to cult classics, that never made the top 100 on Billboard’s LP Top 200. A second volume will be released later this year.

Sal Cataldi is a musician and writer based in Saugerties. He is best known for his work with his genre-leaping solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, and is also a member the duos, Guitars A Go Go and Vapor Vespers, and the quartet, Spaceheater. His writing on music, books and film has been featured in The New York Times, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, NYSMusic.com, Inside+Out Upstate NY and many others.
