Hilton Valentine

All In Your Head
Grapefruit (UK), 1969. New Copy
Late 60s laidback psyche pop from former Animals guitarist Hilton Valentine -- nice stuff that skews a bit towards the folk psychedelia that was lightly buzzing from studios and concert halls from London to LA! We're digging this one, it's got the elements of the sunshine folk psyche era without ...
cover art  
CBS/Cherry Red (UK), 1977/1978. New Copy
Prime power pop from the New Hearts -- featuring singer Ian Page and guitarist Dave Cairns -- who would later go on to the mod revival act Secret Affair -- but for us, this barbed, ultra catchy and hook laden buzzing pop is pretty hard for them to top! We love this kind of stuff in general, and ...
cover art  
Decca, 2009. New Copy
Well, if anyone is going to recast their past rock glories in a fanciful new light, and have it not only not suck, but turn out appealing, it would have to be Ray Davies, right? It is. On Kinks Choral Collection, Davies covers gems from the Kinks songbook with the Crouch End Festival Chorus -- in ...

Igginbottom

Igginbottom's Wrench
Deram/Esoteric (UK), 1969. New Copy
Late 60s jazzy rock from the UK scene -- a unique, masterfully moody set spacious grooves from future fusiony guitar guru Allan Holdsworth with fellow guitarist Seven Robinson, bass player Mick Skelly and drummer Dave Freeman. So many pre-prog era, dexterously jazz inspired have more psychedelic ...
cover art  
MGM/Now Sounds (UK), 1967. New Copy
The catchy and glowingly warm full length self titled set from The Cowsills -- kind of coming off as a kiddie Mamas & Papas, and it's so sweet it almost makes your teeth hurt! We're total suckers from 60s pop sunshine with soaring vocal arrangements, and the Cowsills deliver hugely. The ...

July

July
Rev-Ola (UK), 1968. New Copy
Psychedelic pop from the late 60s UK scene by July -- of the tighter, hook-laden variety -- with big catchy melodies, buzzing guitars and heavy drums on the bottom end! This is July's one-and-only album, and if it doesn't get them into to pantheon with some of the other adventuresome psych pop ...

Organisation (Kraftwerk)

Tone Float
Rainbow (Germany), 1970. New Copy
A rare early chapter in the career of Kraftwerk -- an obscure album issued only in the UK, and one that features the duo of Ralf and Florian augmented by three other players! The sound here is heavily instrumental, and very experimental -- almost in the mode of some of the more adventurous German ...
cover art  

Hadaka No Rallizes aka Les Rallizes Denudes

Yodo Go A Go Go (Flightless Bird Needs Water Wings)
10th Avenue Freeze Out, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
Heady work from this hip Japanese group -- a group who work in a very fuzzy, spaced out sort of sound! There's a fair bit of distortion on most numbers here -- used on the vocals in ways that almost remind us of Suicide, and on the guitars in ways that make them ring out in a wide wall of sound ...
cover art  
Psychic Circle (UK), New Copy
The strangest, wierdest, most head-scratching pop music compilation ever put together for the Psychic Circle label -- from synth pop about alien energy, to a sitar version of Lee Hazlewood's most famous song, novelty raps by people with no business doing such things, and the star of Kung Fu and ...
cover art  
Repsychled, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
A huge batch of Peruvian rock from the late 60s & early 70s -- some hard driving and garagey, others more soulful or more psychedelic -- fantastic stuff from groups like Los Incognitos, Los Texao, Madera Fresca, Free Love System and Opus! The groups work in a number of global rock influences, ...
cover art  
Liberty/Ace (UK), Early 60s. New Copy
Some of the first work ever recorded by a young Jackie DeShannon -- early singles from her first years at Liberty Records -- a label she definitely helped put on the map during the 60s! Right from the start, Jackie's got something special -- a style that's quite different from some of the other ...

Morning

Morning
Vault/Wounded Bird, 1970. New Copy
CD...$9.99 11.98
Easygoing rock from the Morning of the 70s LA scene -- post psychedelic groovers with some sweet and sometimes soaring harmonies, groovy keys and a nice batch of songs! The record has a a lot of sunshine country rock in the sound, with lots of piano, great vocals, guitar, bass and a little banjo. ...
cover art  

Mort Shuman

My Death
Reprise/Rev-Ola (UK), 1969. New Copy
Creepy, strange and oddly beautiful late 60s eccentricity from Mort Shuman -- a song writer and pivotal behind the scenes cat who's been credited for translating the Jacques Brel stuff that Scott Walker sung, as well as for bringing Brel to Broadway. This album is a very trippy kind of coldly ...
cover art  
Reprise/Wounded Bird, 1969. New Copy
A rare psychedelic set from late 60s Reprise -- the only one we've ever seen from Mephistopheles -- a nice mix of hard charged and fuzzy sounds with gritty vocals -- and lighter moments flavored by flute and keys! The drums hit pretty hard and sound great and the electric guitar sound gets bluesy ...
cover art  
Philips/Germanofon (Germany), 1970/1971. New Copy 2CD
A 2CD set -- featuring the first 2 albums by Kraftwerk in a single package! First up is the self-titled Kraftwerk album from 1970 -- a groundbreaking set recorded when the group was more of a proggish outfit, and still yet to make their mark in the world of electronics! As with early work by ...
cover art  

Kraftwerk

Ralf & Florian
Vertigo (Germany), 1973. New Copy
The third album from the early two-man version of Kraftwerk -- and easily their most futuristic effort to date, despite a rather geeky looking cover! There's a cleaner electric sound here than before -- and one that's a lot more tuneful too, really setting the scene for Autobahn and other big 70s ...
cover art  
Crazy Apple (Spain), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
Freaky psych from around the globe -- bits from France, Spain, Brazil, and beyond -- and some great home-grown ditties from the US as well! The overall concept of this one's a bit hard to peg -- despite some very helpful notes, which also offer information on all the artists -- but we're fine with ...
cover art  

Van Dyke Parks

Song Cycle
Warner, 1968. New Copy
Van Dyke Parks' masterpiece -- and one of the hippest records to come out of LA in the 60s! The album's a strangely anachronistic one -- steeped in the kind of past-days scoring found on early records by Harpers Bizarre and Randy Newman (both of which Parks had a hand in!), wrapped around simply ...
cover art  
Ace (UK), 1960s. New Copy
Masterful early rock from proto Brit rocker Vince Taylor -- stuff from the end of the 50s and early 60s that finds Vince just killing it -- like a kid from Memphis. Perhaps the secret ingredients here are the backing band and production -- which both provide a credible, incendiary take on the hard ...
cover art  

Eric Burdon

Mirage
Esoteric (UK), 1973/1974. New Copy
Funky and hard charging rock from Animal Eric Burdon that's languished largely unreleased for decades -- a number of tracks that were written or recorded for a proposed film about the Vietnam War at the time -- but really only started trickling out much later! Overall, a pretty diverse confluence ...
cover art  
Ace (UK), 1960s. New Copy
A set that's every bit as wonderful as you'd guess from its title and cover -- a killer package of all-girl rockers, and one that's filled with rare gems from the 60s! The material here is definitely a lot harder-hitting than more familiar girl group sounds of the 60s -- as the tunes are drenched ...
cover art  

Tee & Cara

As They Are
Rev-Ola (UK), 1968. New Copy
Gentle late 60s material from the duo of Tee & Cara -- really lovely stuff with breezy melodies, easygoing acoustic guitars and some strings and wind that gives it a bit more flight! The male & female co lead singing is sweet as can be, the songs are sweet and groovy, and the production is ...
cover art  
Cotillion/Raven (Australia), Early 70s. New Copy
A surprisingly great batch of kick ass tunes from Captain Beyond -- 1972's self-titled set and '73's Sufficiently Breathless -- back-to-back on a single CD! The Captain Beyond LP is southern fried but with a cosmic undercurrent that makes for a weird approach -- and odd, but walloping mix of ...
cover art  
Beggars Banquet/Atco, 1979. New Copy 2CD
A classic! Where would electronic pop be without Gary Numan's "Cars"? Alongside Kraftwerk's classic 80s albums and Yellow Magic Orchestra's first LP, this album by Gary Numan ranks as one of the most essential synth driven LPs. Brilliant pop numbers that awash with robotic tones that ...
cover art  
Big Beat (UK), 1960s. New Copy
A totally cool little compilation -- kind of the sonic equivalent of a night at the drive-in movies! The package digs through some really raunchy exploitation rock of the 60s -- gritty garage tracks, freaky exotic numbers, and other rough-edged gems -- then mixes the music with rare horror film ...
cover art  
RPM (UK), 1960s. New Copy
The Complete Recordings of The Mojos -- a Merseybeat with the right, rollicking r&b influenced UK groove -- a bunch of great a & b side singles for Decca & Liberty! Most of the tunes were released between 1964 and 1968, with one earlier, Little Richard influenced nugget by the ...
cover art  
Columbia/Rev-Ola (UK), 1967. New Copy
A really wild little album -- and exactly what it says in the title: hard rock from the Middle East! The album takes eastern instrumentation on oud, bouzoki, tamboura, and accordion -- and fuses it with some hard grooving bass, guitar, and drums -- all hitting heavy late 60s acid-tinged modes, ...
cover art  
Polydor/Light In The Attic, 1966. New Copy Gatefold
The one astounding studio album of proto punk/abrasive psych genius from the Monks -- a true masterpiece if their ever was one, a record that's been ripped off by myriad more famous groups in both the mainstream and rock underground of the past 40 years! The group's status as discharged G.I.'s ...
cover art  
Gorilla Musik (Germany), 1971. New Copy
Not Frankie Lymon, but Frankie Dymon -- a US expatriate who works here with some funky prog backings! Dymon delivers hip, soulful poetry in English -- often with a bit of a dark edge -- and the instrumentation features guitar, piano, and organ -- all familiar elements, but produced with an eerie, ...

Various

Rock On
Ace (UK), Mid 50s/1960s/1970s. New Copy
A deep collection of wild tunes that cross genres like crazy -- a tribute to the wide variety stocked at London's legendary Rock On record shop -- which carried rebellious records off all stripes! The set has fiery 50s rockabilly, pulp pop, fuzzy psychedelic grooves, jumpin' blues, outlaw country ...
cover art  
RPM (UK), 1968/1969. New Copy
Primordial late 60s Detroit rock from SRC -- at the time thought of as the chief rival of the now much more reverently remembered MC5 -- but still a pile-driving juggernaut of 60s stoner rock! This set collects the best of groups album tracks and singles cut for Capitol Records in 1968 and 1969 -- ...
cover art  
Deram/Grapefruit (UK), 1970. New Copy
A gem of an album from Pacific Drift -- a UK group from the end of the 60s, but one who would have been right at home amongst the hippest luminaries of the LA scene at the time! The group have a beautiful way of putting over a tune -- some warm harmonies, ala CSN, and a soaring sense of rhythm ...
cover art  
Drone Syndicate, 1971. New Copy
A wild mix of free jazz and fuzzy rock -- played by a groundbreaking Japanese group who mix flute and saxes with heavy Hammond and plenty of guitar! The album begins with the side-long "Question Mark" -- a tune that breaches a really metaphysical question at the start, then really trips ...
cover art  
Ace (UK), 1960s. New Copy
A motherlode of classics from one of the best guy/girl songwriting teams of the 60s -- the legendary pairing of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, both names that appeared on countless hits during the decade! The pair had a great way with a tune -- often coming up with a gentle groove that kept ...
cover art  

Golden Ear-Rings (Golden Earrings)

Winter Harvest (plus bonus tracks)
Polydor/RPM (UK), 1967. New Copy
Golden Earring's really opening up its groove here -- getting past the straight jangle pop of their debut, and expanding their sound in ways that rival the changes going on with The Hollies or Hermans Hermits at the same time! A slightly soulful undercurrent emerges on a few tracks -- almost a ...
cover art  

Tinkerbell's Fairydust

Tinkerbell's Fairydust
Decca/Grapefruit (UK), 1965. New Copy
Mid 60s sunshine pop from Tinkerbell's Fairydust -- psyche era tunes from the UK that's been a long lost legend for many years -- purportedly manufactured by Decca in 1969 but never officially issued! with really groovy harmonies that give it in extra lift, but still with with a pretty gritty ...
cover art  
Acid Jazz (UK), Late 60s. New Copy
A fantastic follow-up to the first Rare Mod set -- filled with the kind of swinging London goodies that made the first set so great! The Acid Jazz label has moved into plenty of mod grooves of their own, so they actually make a surprisingly good choice to come up with the classic bits too -- the ...
cover art  
Norton, 1960s. New Copy
A decade of Kim Fowley produced, arranged and recorded madness -- proto garage, sleazy surf styled rumbles, pulpy vocal pop, and fuzzy tunes galore -- some credited to Kim Fowley and more savage tunes from Bruce & Jerry, Renegades, Mo And Jo, Blue Bells, Althea And The Memories and more! It's ...
cover art  
Norton, 1960s. New Copy
Buried treasures from artist, producer, arranger, promoter, raconteur, and most entertaining character Kim Fowley-- fiery pre garage, fuzzed out surf styled numbers, raw novelty pop, and storming groovers all around -- with some of Kim's own headliner credits plus tunes by Gamblers, Cover Girls, ...
cover art  

Pisces

Lovely Sight
Numero, Late 60s. New Copy
Rare late 60s psychedelia from blue collar Rockford, Il -- a totally great lost album of pop psyche tunefulness from Pisces -- who had an incredible knack for experimental sounds that weave in and out of the hallucinatory pop structure! The group centered around core players Jim Krein and Paul ...
cover art  
Metronome/Sanctuary (UK), 1964. New Copy
Some of the rootsiest work ever recorded by Alexis Korner and his Blues Incorporated group -- a very early live date that captures the group before they'd picked up some more influences from jazz and soul! Although recorded in 1964, the whole thing's got a rootsy feel that goes way back to Chicago ...
cover art  
EMI, 1969. New Copy 2CD
An amazing departure for David Bowie -- hardly the kind of record you would expect from his oboe-filled tunes of a few years before -- and really the start of the groundbreaking, earthshaking, reinventionist era of his genius! There's a spacious, soaring quality to Space Oddity that's every bit ...
cover art  
Past & Present (UK), 1960s. New Copy
Instrumental grooves from around the globe -- but with a special focus on sounds from the Anglo world, too -- particularly the mod-styled numbers that were big on the London scene of the 60s! There's plenty of Hammond in the mix here -- not the dominant instrument on all tracks, but pretty ...
cover art  

Grin

Gone Crazy
A&M/Hip-O Select, Mid 70s. New Copy
Kind of lovable, easygoing 70s rock from Nils Lofgren's Grin -- amiable guitar and piano grooves -- with a bit of bite in the guitars, but with an laidback sensibility overall! The tunes have an unpretentious, catchy vibe to them, which in other hands in the 70s would have come off as more of a ...
cover art  

Nils Lofgren

Cry Tough
A&M/Hip-O Select, 1976. New Copy
An underappreciated solo record from guitarist Nils Lofgren -- not a bad singer songwriter record, elevated big time by the stellar musicianship! Where the songs would come off as bit on the nose at face value, you get lost in the guitar playing and precision grooves of the band -- particularly on ...
cover art  
Past & Present (UK), 1960s. New Copy
Ultra tripped out 60s psyche explorations -- wild, groovy stuff that blends some with some of wierdest fringe pop tendencies with the anything goes errata of the psychedelic movement! Most of the times are from the heart of the mid-to-late 60s, with a 70s nugget or two -- and the stuff really gets ...
cover art  
Past & Present (UK), Late 60s. New Copy
If the cover hurts your eyes, just imagine what the music will do to your ears -- a definite mind-expanding batch of rare psych gems from the 60s, with a focus on really unusual sounds that go way past familiar rock-psych modes! The work here is from a wide range of sources, and many of the cuts ...
cover art  
Past & Present (UK), Late 60s. New Copy
Bright, vibrant Piccadilly Sunshine -- groovy psychedelic pop from the Brit scene of the late 60s -- carnivalesque colors in the arrangements, some with a grittier garage core, others that boisterous and poppy through-and-through! The tracks are largely pulled from rare singles, and generally lean ...
cover art  
Community Library (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy Gatefold
San Francisco synth punk and aggro electro new wave from The Units -- barbed, caustic and exhilarating stuff that never really got the attention it deserved! In some ways The Units remind us a bit of Devo at their most brutish, but they're not as conceptual or jokey -- really riveting stuff! ...
cover art  

Birdwatchers

Birdwatchers
Henry Stone, Mid 60s. New Copy
CD...$9.99 10.98
The first-ever full length set from The Birdwatchers -- a cool combo from the Miami scene of the 60s, and one who had a fair bit of local hits, but never seemed to crack the nationwide charts! The sound of the work is surprisingly sophisticated at points -- kind of a mix of garagey roots with ...
