Girl Song / Halfway / Goodbye, Goddamn, Goodnight

Released in the early 1970s on the independent 1970 Recordings label, this split 7-inch record captures a specific moment in the regional underground scene of the American Midwest. The project served as a promotional vehicle for three distinct acts, each contributing a track to showcase the label's eclectic approach to folk-inflected rock and singer-songwriter arrangements. It emerged during an era where small-press vinyl was the primary method for emerging artists to circulate their demos to local radio stations and prospective touring venues.

The record’s minimalist cover design reflects the austerity typical of independent labels at the time, prioritizing budget-conscious production while maintaining a distinct visual identity for the brand. By grouping three disparate acts under the 1970V1 catalog number, the label aimed to provide listeners with a curated sampler of their current roster. While the release did not achieve broad commercial success, it remains a recognized artifact for collectors specializing in regional 1970s music pressings and the history of micro-label distribution.
