In March 1975, Jim Sullivan mysteriously disappeared outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico. His VW bug was found abandoned, his motel room untouched. Some think he got lost in the desert. Some think he fell foul of a local family with alleged mafia ties. Some think he was abducted by aliens.
By coincidence – or perhaps not – Jim’s 1969 debut album was titled U.F.O. Released in tiny numbers on a private label, it too was truly lost, until Seattle’s Light In The Attic Records begun a years-long quest to give it the full release it deserves – and to solve the mystery of Sullivan’s disappearance. Only one of those things happened.
For record collectors, some albums are considered impossible to get hold of, records so rare you could sit on eBay for years and not get a sniff of a copy. U.F.O. is one of those albums. A seventh son, Jim Sullivan was a West Coast should-have-been, an Irish-American former high school quarterback whose gift for storytelling earned him cult status in the Malibu bar where he performed nightly. Sullivan was always on the edge of fame; hanging out with movie stars like Harry Dean Stanton, performing on the Jose Feliciano show, even stealing a cameo in the ultimate hippie movie, Easy Rider.
Friend and actor Al Dobbs thought he could change all that, and founded a label – Monnie Records – to release Jim’s album, enlisting the assistance of Phil Spector’s legendary sessioneers The Wrecking Crew to do so. That’s Don Randi, Earl Palmer and Jimmy Bond you can hear, the latter also acting as producer and arranger.
U.F.O. was a different beast to the one-man-and-his-guitar stuff Jim had been doing on stage; instead, it was a fully realised album of scope and imagination, a folk-rock record with its head in the stratosphere. Sullivan’s voice is deep and expressive like Fred Neil with a weathered and worldly Americana sound like Joe South, pop songs that aren’t happy – but with filled with despair. The album is punctuated with a string section (that recalls David Axelrod), other times a Wurlitzer piano provides the driving groove (as if Memphis great Jim Dickinson was running the show). U.F.O. is a slice of American pop music filtered from the murky depths of Los Angeles, by way of the deep south.
With no music industry contacts, the record went largely unnoticed, and Jim simply moved on, releasing a further album on the Playboy label in 1972. But by 1975, his marriage breaking up, Jim left, for Nashville and the promise of a new life as a sessioneer in the home of C&W. That’s where it gets hazy.
We know he was stopped by cops for swerving on the highway in Santa Rosa, some 15 hours after setting off. We know he was taken to a local police station, found to be sober, and told to go to the local La Mesa Motel to get some rest, which he did. Some time later, his car was spotted on a ranch belonging to the local Genetti family, who confronted him about his business there. The next day his car was found 26 miles down the road, abandoned. His car and his hotel room contained, among other things, his twelve-string guitar, his wallet, his clothes and several copies of his second album, but no note, and no Jim. It was as if he had simply vanished into thin air.
Jim’s family travelled out to join search parties looking for him, the local papers printed missing person stories, but the search proved fruitless. Around the same time, the local sheriff retired and the Genettis moved to Hawaii. Jim’s manager Robert “Buster” Ginter later stated that during the early morning hours of a long evening Jim and Buster were talking about what would you do if they had to disappear. Jim said he’d walk into the desert and never come back.
Tracking down the truth behind Jim’s mystery became an obsession of Light In The Attic’s Matt Sullivan (no relation) when he happened upon a copy of the album and fell in love. He took on a cross country pilgrimage in search of master tapes and truth, and came back with neither, despite hundreds of phone calls, e-mails, letters, faxes, private detectives, telepathy, palm readings and meetings with Jim’s wife, son and producer. Thanks to superb digital mastering techniques, Light In The Attic is still able to present a clean, near perfect copy of Jim’s masterpiece for general consumption for the first time. Enjoy. And remember, beyond the mystery, there’s the music.

THE JIM SULLIVAN STORY
Found the disk of a singer & songwriter abducted by Aliens
Jim Sullivan disappeared without trace 35 years ago.
The World now finds its first album, recorded in 1969 with the musicians of Phil Spector
The songs deal with UFOs, deserts and highways.
"If ever I have to go,
I shall go walking in the desert
and not come back anymore".
Jim Sullivan's confession
in a conversation with his representative,
Robert Ginter
In the world of collecting audiophile discs, there are those rare, very rare and "the Martians".
Is in this last group where, even terminologically, UFO (1969) belongs to:
the ignored, but wonderful debut of Jim Sullivan, an Irish blood Californian singer
who used to sing every night in a bar in Malibu.
Almost no one paid attention then, either during the 41 years that followed,
to these 10 songs of psychedelic folk-rock
titled with the acronym referring to UFOs. But even more intriguing is the ultimate fate of its creator,
who disappeared without trace in the desert of New Mexico.
His most faithful devotees are clear: Sullivan was abducted by aliens.
Only through the efforts of some crazy-wonderful label makers of (link) Light in the Attic Records,
we can now recover that unknown recording and reconstruct the history of his protagonist
to where the mystery becomes inscrutable. This seal of Seattle, specializing in reissues of impossible albums,
invested a couple of years to trace Sullivan through his wife, his son and his representative, Robert Ginter.
Today we still do not know what the hell was Jim, but at least we can investigate the UFO legacy,
a work as amazing as for the British magazine Uncut to grant a five-star rating in its December issue.
Exciting and taciturn composer, voice no less beautiful than that of Tim Hardin,
the disturbing Jim Sullivan skirted recognition throughout his life only to not ever get it.
Fleetingly appeared in Easy Rider, the legendary film of hippie bikers,
and participated in the show of José Feliciano.
Dazzled the actor Al Dobbs, who created for himself a record label (Monnie Records)
and then hired the best instrumental musicians.
It is amazing how UFO was recorded in the company of The Wrecking Crew,
the legendary session musicians of Phil Spector: Don Randi, Earl Palmer & Jimmy Bond,
who also served as producer and arranger.
Nobody heard the absorbent material of UFO, just 29 minutes of folk-rock with orchestral arrangements
that will delight fans of Fred Neil, David Axelrod and Scott Walker.
Nobody paid any attention either to the second LP Sullivan signed in 1972.
And so it amounts to no surprise that in 1975, with his marriage on the verge of shattering,
Jim, grabbing the twelve-string guitar and the keys to his Volkswagen set sail to Nashville,
where he would try to take off as a studio musician.
Santa Rosa police arrested him on March 5 while lurch driving on the highway.
Sullivan was sober and promised the officers that he would rest in the motel La Mesa.
The next morning he resumed his journey. Two days later, the Volkswagen was found abandoned 24 miles away,
with no trace of its occupant. In the vehicle and the room appeared Jim's wallet, his clothes,
his guitar and several copies of his second album. He, however, vaporized.
Neither the local sheriff's efforts nor those of his family served to find a single track.
County newspapers also echoed the enigma until, discouraged by the lack of news, forget the case.
Barbara Sullivan, Jim's wife says she would not be surprised "the least"
if tomorrow she would see appearing the author of UFO through the door.
Does not seem a likely option, but the track that gives the album its title
placed him mentally wandering.among the stars.
And it is irresistibly attractive the image of a Sullivan smiling to us from an alien border,
now that, finally, we have found his immense talent.
Even if it is with four decades of delay...

U.F.O. is one of those albums whose backstory looms so large
that it threatens to overwhelm the actual music, which would be a shame,
because it's a bit of a lost classic of the singer/songwriter realm.
Southern California troubadour Jim Sullivan --not to be confused with British guitarist Big Jim Sullivan--
was a big man with a big voice who built up a small regional following in the late ‘60s
and convinced an old friend to start a label for the sole purpose of releasing his debut album in 1969.
The limited-run release eventually became a high-priced holy grail for record collectors,
partly because of its quality and rarity, and partly because of the mysterious Sullivan story.
In a nutshell, after recording only one more album, Sullivan took off on a road trip in 1975,
during which he literally disappeared, never to be seen again, despite the best investigative efforts
of family, friends, and admirers. His car was found still containing his wallet, guitar, and other possessions,
with no trace of their owner. Several theories about his fate sprung up, from murder to alien abduction.   
Matt Sullivan (no relation) of Light in the Attic Records went to great lengths to solve the decades-old mystery,
but had to settle for reissuing the album in 2010. Despite its humble origins,
it sounds more like a major-label recording than a lo-fi D.I.Y. effort.
This has a lot to do with Jim's benefactor hiring top-flight L.A. Wrecking Crew musicians
Don Randi, Earl Palmer, and Jimmy Bond, and then there are Bond's string arrangements,
which bring an atmospheric, orchestral feel to Sullivan's simply conceived, acoustic guitar-based tunes.
Sullivan's deep, bluesy singing falls somewhere between Fred Neil and Tim Hardin,
as does his songwriting, which subtly tweaks conventional folk-blues templates without
veering into psychedelic, post-Dylan excess.
The lyrics are those of a man with wandering on his mind, especially the title track,
in which Sullivan's mind's eye moves out among the stars. It's probably this track that inspired
the aforementioned alien abduction theories about Sullivan's disappearance,
and as unlikely as that scenario may seem, it's nice to imagine Sullivan smiling down on us
from some unearthly plane as the World at large
gets a chance to discover his stirring sound for the first time,
a few decades late...

07 U.F.O Lyrics
Shakin like a leaf on the desert heat,
his daddy's got a bog that's hard to beat
Bought me a ticket got a front row seat.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
Lotta tricks were pulled in a book I read.
Only man I know that got up from the dead.
Lotta people living by the words that he said.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
Think he'll ever come again a different way
and maybe he has come and gone while I was away.
Too much goodness is a sin today.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
There is something happening that isn't too clear.
Just a little different than in previous years.
I think that happiness is getting very near.
I'm checkin out the show …
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
