A famous date that showcases the Chess Records influence on the sound of the Brit rock scene – one that has a number of key players "giving back" to the label, and working on a special date with Howlin Wolf! Wolf's rough vocals are in the lead on all tracks, and he also plays a bit ... (Blues, Rock)read moreCD
The album that rocked a million dorm rooms back in the 60s – and for good reason, too – given that the title track is a side-long, totally jamming monster – the kind of track that was really revolutionary at the time, and which still has a hell of an impact all these many years ... read moreCD
21 heavy classics – including the short take of "In A Gadda Da Vida" – plus "Most Anything You Want", "Soul Experience", "Real Fright", "Iron Butterfly Theme", "Easy Rider", "Soldier In Our Town", "New Day", ... read moreCD
Stunning early work from Joe Jackson – much more hard-edged than you might expect! There's a nice bite here – and tracks include "Fools In Love", "Pretty Girls", "Happy Loving Couples", "Sunday Papers", "One More Time", and "Is She ... read moreCD

Joe Jackson —
Night & Day ... LP A&M, 1982. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
$5.99
A heck of a great record – and we don't mind saying it! After knocking around in territory that ran from new wave to neo ska, retro swing, and other assorted genres, Joe Jackson really emerged with a strong voice on this 1982 classic. The album's a loving tribute to New York – and is ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the key genre-starting records from Perry Farrell and Jane's Addiction – work that sprung out of the tail end of the 80s with many of its musical changes intact, but which also isn't really like any of them at all! The record's not really punk, metal, or even some of the hard rock ... read moreCD
Jean Michel Jarre —
Rendezvous ... CD Dreyfus/Polygram (France), 1986. Used ...
$1.992.99
A seminal session from 70s French synth maestro Jean-Michel Jarre – a great bit of electronics that was almost France's answer to Kraftwerk at the time! Jarre's style is a bit warmer and more focused on the melody – and the range of keyboards and synthesizers used create a rich ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Titles include "Livin Above Your Head", "I'll Remember You", "The Grass Will Sing", "Baby Come Home", "Stop The Cock", "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", and "Too Many Times Diana". LP, Vinyl record album

Jay & The Americans —
Sands Of Time ... LP United Artists, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$5.99
A real gem from Jay & The Americans – a record that was part of an initial step forward with their own creative direction, but which also nods back at the earlier music that had inspired their work! The set's filled with older gems from the early years of rock and soul – delivered ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pink & orange label stereo pressing. Cover has some small indents in front and partially unglued bottom seam.)
(Late 70s issue. Cover has light wear and lightly bent corners.)
Jethro Tull —
Aqualung ... CD Chrysalis (UK), 1971. Used ...
$2.99
The album that really broke Jethro Tull out of the prog rock underground and into the mainstream – and a set that showed that the group weren't just a combo with creative use of flute, but a band that could really rock off their ass when they wanted to! Previous records were all pretty great ... read moreCD
Featured guests include Garth Hudson on Hammond and accordion, Levon Helm and Brian Blade on drums, and Dolly Parton on vocals. Titles include "Sunrise", "Creepin In", "Carnival Town", "In The Morning", "Be Here To Love Me", and "The Long Way ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreCD

Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding Compan —
Live At Winterland 68 ... CD Columbia, 1968. Used ...
$3.99
Powerful live document of Janis with Big Brother live at Winterland in the spring of '68 – with recordings of their biggest and best-remembered numbers, and ones that didn't get nearly as much play over the years! Truly awesome work, with Janis and the band working their inimitable magic ... read moreCD
One of the most successful of the later Kinks albums – thanks to the hit single "Come Dancing", which kind of tied together the group's later leanings with some of their sweeter, nostagic approaches from the 60s. In fact, there's a quality to the set that really has Ray Davies ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has some surface wear.)
One of the greatest power pop albums ever recorded – a blistering batch of tight little rocking tunes that took pop music back to basics at the end of the 70s! The group have an almost Beatles-esque flair for the short catchy tune – but have also pumped up things nicely with a smoothly ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has edge wear, center split on the spine, some surface wear.)
David Knopfler —
Release ... LP Passport, 1983. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$2.994.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, hype sticker, and a promo sticker in back.)
Hard rock perfected! It's around Led Zeppelin IV that you can easily say that the group moved up from being incredibly great to flat-out legendary – really in a class by themselves, although maybe they'd already reached that point with the sublime sounds of the previous three records! There' ... read moreCD
The first album from the great, freewheeling, genre-defying Little Feat! This album, like all the others from Little Feat, isn't easy to pigeonhole – rolling from sun-toasted country rock to roadhouse-y blues and beyond – in a way that feels perfectly right and natural. It's not as ... read moreCD
The classic late 70s double live album from Little Feat! Their reputation as one of the great live acts of that decade or any other is realized beautifully here – the band playing off of each other masterfully, and they're just as sharp vocally – but what's most impressive is how they ... read moreCD
