Vertigo/Kismet (UK), 1973. New Copy
Freaky and fuzzy – and a little bit funky too – a rare set by a Fiji group, originally issued only in New Zealand – and just the sort of global rock album we really treasure! The drums are plenty heavy throughout – definitely showing a strong influence from soul – but

Egg/Staubgold (Germany), 1976. New Copy (reissue)
Definitely the sounds promised in the title – and a sweet little set from 70s Paris, and one that bridges the gap between earlier electric prog and some of the clubbier cosmic sounds to come! The tunes are heavy on keyboards – great moog, Arp, and Fender Rhodes played by Patrick Vian

Big Beat (UK), 1986. New Copy (reissue)
One of the best full lengths by The Cramps! By the time A Date With Elvis came out in the mid 80s, The Cramps had pretty much perfected their wild mix of ghoulish innuendo and truly devoted roots rock/garage revivalism. The sex club and monster movie imagery was for show, but their love of rootsy

Big Beat (UK), 1997. New Copy (reissue)
A great later record by The Cramps – still stomping their inimitable brand of seedy, sexy macabre-billy in as fine of a form as they'd been in a number of years! After the slicked-up studio sound of the preceding Flamejob, they wisely strip the production polish away for a rawer sound here

Deity/Wounded Bird, 1969. New Copy
A pretty great idea for a late 60s rock record – even if the record itself is even better than its idea! The whole concept of the "masked marauders" was that the group was supposedly formed by big rockers of the time – unable to be listed on the cover, because of contractual

Elektra/Wounded Bird, Late 60s. New Copy
A treasure trove of unreleased material from the Stalk Forrest Group – one full album, other bonus tracks, and their only ever single – all compiled together in a sweet set that documents the pre-history of Blue Oyster Cult! These guys aren't as sinister as in their BOC years, but
...
|
Big Beat (UK), 1991. New Copy (reissue)
A totally fun later record from The Cramps – with solid roots rock, fuzzed out garagey stormers and vintage B-Movie imagery as brilliantly as always! By this point, The Cramps were understandably being championed for their killer live show more than their records, which is too bad, because

No More Records, Late 70s. New Copy
Amazing stuff from No Wave legends DNA – 32 tracks from long out of print singles, EPs and live recordings – many on CD for the first time ever! DNA was one of the most uproarious acts in that increasingly legendary NYC scene – featuring Arto Lindsay's scratchy guitar and
...
|
Legacy, 1968. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)
A true classic by Jimi with the original Experience lineup – the third of three straight up masterpiece LPs to comeout in just over a year's time by the group! You could call the leftfield astral effects in the mix experimental if you wanted to – innovations in the studio with echo,
...

No More Records, Late 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Amazing stuff from No Wave legends DNA – a vinyl set that features material that wasn't on the CD collection of the same name! DNA was one of the most uproarious acts in that increasingly legendary NYC scene – featuring Arto Lindsay's scratchy guitar and haggard banshee wail of a lead

Capitol, 1970. Very Good+
A very cool Capitol Records relic – a special album for radio DJs – with cuts that include "Song Of The Ages" and "Another Day" by Roy Harper, "Requiem 820 Lathem" and "Spinning Wheel" by Mel Torme, "Is That All There Is" by Ty Lemley,

Capitol, 1976. Very Good+
Ever wonder what might have happened to the Monkees had they stayed together into the 70s? Probably the closest you'll ever get is this unusual outing from 1976 – an album that matched Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones with the songwriting team of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart – a pair who'd

Academy, 1972. Very Good-
One of our favorites by King Crimson – and a record with a lot more jazz than some of their others! Players include Mel Collins on lots of flutes and saxes – plus guests Keith Tippett on piano, Mark Charig on cornet, and Harry Miller on bass!

Sky, Late 70s/1984. Very Good+
Sparely gentle work from various assemblages of electronicists Brian Eno, Dieter Moebius, and Hans Joachim Rodelius – aided and abetted here by producer Connie Plank! There's a personal, intimate feel to this work that almost makes it feel acoustic at times – despite the mostly
