Notes
LP AVAILABLE APRIL 12, 2025 (RECORD STORE DAY) AT INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES
“Music is the weed that keeps popping out of the concrete in my life. It just seems to want to come out.” –Jeff Bridges
Culled from a single decaying cassette tape labeled “July 1978,” these recordings are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude. Even after becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Bridges spent all his free time jamming and recording with a trusted circle of musicians composed of childhood friends, artists, and assorted L.A. oddballs.
Imagine The Band playing at CBGB with The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Or Arthur Russell and the Talking Heads collaborating on a suite of mutant disco. Though Bridges and his friends were brought up around the movie industry, they decided to create their own private musical universe, where they could be as weird as they wanted.
Their music opens a portal to a hidden world of outlandish creativity and camaraderie in 1970s Los Angeles. It’s the missing piece of his musical evolution, revealed here for the first time in all its joyful abandon.

RSD2025's most eclectic & interesting item. What I initially perceived as a novelty is actually going to be a real collectors item. Funky stoner blues combined with the sounds (& possibly smells) of 1978 Los Angeles from a guy who could have been a rock star. The booklet is included in the left hand gatefold section of the sleeve. -
I picked this up as a novelty, and it's certainly that. But mine did not include the promised 20 page booklet. Anyone else?
