Freakin I loved Belushi.  He was fantastically funny and cool as hell.  Hell, before Belushi who knew what an Armenian was?  More than a comedian, he was always musically swayed.  Wait, screw that the guy made cheeboigahs cool and was one badass Killer Bee.

In 1965 Belushi was in a band called The Ravens.  Apparently Belushi was a drummer in Wheaton Central High in IL.  The band recorded a single with “Listen To Me Now” and “Jolly Green Giant” as b-side.

Ony about forty pressings were done- and low and behold…we got it surfacing.

Skip to 2011 and a small label known as Alona's Dream has reissued the record in an almost equally as limited run ' 198 copies (two were mispressed). 

So have a listen to the song here, OMG I love it.  It makes me sad his legacy is that crap Blues Brothers stuff, the guy was just an all around genius…checkit…
