Smiles – Just A Star
Astronauts, Etc. – Just A Star

1. Smiles – Just A Star
2. Astronauts, Etc. – Just A Star

Double a-side 45 single from two separate California bands - one side features the highly sought-after 1971 recorded psych-rock grail, ‘Just A Star’ by Smiles (famously unearthed by DJ Shadow, becoming his "most asked-about record in a mix"). The other side features a new 2019 cover version of the song released here for the first time by Oakland-based outfit Astronauts, etc. - the project of Toro Y Moi touring keyboardist Anthony Ferraro.
