While My Guitar Violently Bleeds
Sir Richard Bishop
One of the rarer albums I own, not that it's particularly valuable, I don't know. Founding member of the "experimental rock" band Sun City Girls, somewhat obscure themselves. Occasionally I see a CD or two on eBay, never vinyl. And the cover art is reversed on the LP. The woman faces left on the CD.
1971 Japanese power trio

We're all born mad
This was (is) a pretty cool recording, one of the better early and mid-70's "Jap Psych" (nb: it's actually hard rock) artifacts that we "rare record" dealers pushed in the 1980s - now.

I'd quite forgotten this sorta (2010) old thread ... let's see, past by reply to @Zoot Allures post above, what did I contribute ... huh, only three recordings, one of which (i.e., Bobb Trimble) I knew would be here. Surprised that I did not post Heitkotter (Ego, 1971) ... I do have two copies of the original LP, but also the more rare cassette that Steve Heitkotter (or a friend or family member) released as well. I say "friend or family" because Steve Heitkotter was formally institutionalized at the time this thing was recorded and released.
I see he lived to the age of 71. Here's his grave in Fresno, California:

I dig the live in studio feel to it, which I'm assuming the recording is.
I'm not very good at the genre line definition.
Those lines become to blurry after a while for me. Especially Metal. 
1971

It was very likely recorded live in studio, and not a lotta after-the-fact "sweetening" to the sounds.I dig the live in studio feel to it, which I'm assuming the recording is.

Another one I've not listened to in years. But, heck, almost everything that was rare back in the 90s and earlier is now out on reissues (multiple labels, even) as well as (often) @ Youtube.
For instance:

Listening to this via YT, I am struck by how very much it sounds like ~ reminds me of UK-based Heavy "Murk" Rock of that era, e.g., The Edgar Broughton Band. There are also hints of these cats having been influenced by Blue Cheer.
