Insane grooves from arranger Mustafa Ozkent – an artist who was to Turkey what Lalo Schifrin was to the US in the 70s!

Maison Rose ... LP Ballon Noir (France), 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$43.99
An album of fragile beauty and buried darkness – in a space that's somewhere between the work of Nico and Brigitte Fontaine, but a fair bit sweeter overall!

Annette Peacock —
X-Dreams ... LP Tomato, 1979. Very Good ...
$11.99
Pretty wild stuff from Annette Peacock – almost a "no wave" record at times, with lots of quirky art rock overtones next to the jazz vocal stylings that are more of her typical bag. The album's got lots of heavy guitars from rockers that include Mick Ronson, Chris Spedding, Bill ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has a cutout notch, light ring impressions, heavy edge wear, and a small mark from price sticker removal.)

Pearls Before Swine/Thos Rapp —
City Of Gold ... LP Reprise, 1971. Very Good+ ...
$9.99
A return to folksier forms for Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine – working here in territory that's very different than some of the baroque light arrangements used on previous records.

A wonderful bit of sunshine pop from the very obscure Peppermint Rainbow – a male/female harmony group with a sound that was a lot like the Mamas & Papas – blending folk rock and sweet pop into a really sunny groove! The album's worth it alone for the massive title track – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A seminal album from the American underground of the late 70s – the debut of Pere Ubu, bursting forth from the Cleveland scene with a sound to challenge the greatness of anything coming from New York or LA at the time!

The first album from Shawn Phillips – featuring Phillips recording in London with members of Traffic backing him up – in a style that's a great extrapolation of folksy and bluesy roots with some of the hipper styles going down in England at the end of the 60s.

An early 70s collection of previous work from Pink Floyd – and a crucial display of the younger group's charm to folks who'd only discovered them in the longform jamming years!

(Blue label pressing in the textured G&L cover, with some light wear & aging.)
Pink Floyd rose out of the same London scene that gave the world a huge amount of psychedelic records in the late 60s – but with a set like this, they're clearly head and shoulders above most of their contemporaries – already working with a boundless sense of imagination and impeccable ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram stereo pressing from 2016, still in the stickered outer sleeve.)
Tremendous work from The Pogues – a group who may well have hit their height with this record!
