A lost hard rock gem from a Milwaukee quartet – produced by Kim Fowley with a sound that's as raw and garagey as his best indie productions from the mid 60s! These guys have all sorts of familiar elements in the mix – an influence from blues, a trippier style of guitar, and some nicely ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Pure burning soul from The Animals – a nicely stripped-down set that revels in older R&B styles – cooked up with a version of the group that features Dave Rowberry on Hammond and lots of screaming vocals from Eric B! The original Animals vibe is opened up a bit more with some ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A record that has The Animals at the crossroads – working without the piano and organ of Alan Price, but with an even more rising sense of power from Eric Burdon – who's really coming into his own as a singer, and turning out to be a surprisingly great songwriter too! The group still ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Not a live recording from the mighty Animals, but a set that was issued during a year when the group were taking the American stages by storm – put together from extra material that was only issued on their UK debut album, plus UK Animal Tracks material, and a few singles too! The set's ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of John Barry's earliest scores for Bond – when his style was nice and raw, and when the Bond theme couldn't be heard enough throughout the course of the movie! Matt Munro sings the lyrics to the forgotten title hit – and other tracks include "James Bond Theme", "Tani ... (Soundtracks) read moreCD
A terrifying comedy score from Les Baxter – one penned for a mid 60s film that starred Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff! Baxter's music has just the right twist to fit the title – and really matches the tongue-in-cheek images on the screen – the right sort of drama ... (Soundtracks) read moreCD
Melodic psychedelic rock from Boston's Beacon Street Union – one of a pair of great records the group cut for MGM in the late 60s!

An early album by Bobby Bloom – a kind of unique talent who cracked the charts briefly with the hit "Montego Bay", which is included on this album. Bobby's got a sound that's partially bubble gum pop, partially country tinged rock – and which must have been a fairly serious ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The first solo album from Johnny Bristol – a genius soul talent who did a bunch of great work for Motown as a writer and arranger, breaking out here on his own!

A solid killer from Johnny Bristol – one of his classic tracks of the 70s!

Great later work from The Animals – a set that's not as tripped-out as some of their other late 60s work, and which almost starts to show Eric Burdon's rising love of soul and funk!

Two excellent funky cuts from Eric Burdon and War!

Mike Curb was a big boss at this time at MGM, which meant he could record moody vocal group albums like this one, and try to pass them off to the kiddies. Breezy and cheezy, with a few hits and some originals. (Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
Excellent work from Buddy Greco's years on MGM – material that dovetails nicely with his boppish work for Verve in the early 50s, with equally nice small combo backing that includes Kenny Drew on piano! There are a couple of De Franco originals such as "Pennywhistle Blues" and ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Excellent album recorded by vibist Walt Dickerson during the mid 60's.

Even more surprising is ... (Jazz) read moreCD
One of the peak moments for Ronnie James Dio and Elf!

Warmly gliding soul from Gloria Gaynor – a great little set that has none of the cliches that sometimes mar our memory of Gloria's work, awash in tight arrangements that mix equal part disco and mainstream soul!
