Truth Decay ... LP Takoma, 1980. Near Mint- ...

Titles include "Quicksand", "Tears Tears Tears", "I'm Coming Home", "Pretty Girls", "Boomerang", and "Madison Avenue". (Rock) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp, light wear, and is bumped and bent at the bottom corners.)
As the notes say, "this album is a series of aural and spatial fantasies evoking the spirit of American patriotic music" – and the whole thing's recorded on electronic keyboards. Given that this one's on Takoma, you can guess the kind of hippy-dippy folksist influence it might have ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black & gold label pressing. Cover has light edge wear and is bent a bit at the top right corner.)

Guitarist John Fahey had a surprisingly great ear for a Christmas tune – a surprising inclusion in the catalog of the sometimes-dark musician – whose usual recordings often had a much moodier feel! At Christmas, though, Fahey pulled out a tone that was often a lot more joyous – ... read moreCD
A fantastic follow up to the first, better-known Christmas album from guitar genius John Fahey – and a set that's maybe even more mindblowing overall! Side one features Fahey's shorter interpretations of Christmas themes – done on acoustic guitar, with his amazing sense of phrasing and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A wonderful set from the early 70s – a record that has John Fahey opening up even more than before, on three very long tracks that really extend his ideas into a much more open space! The territory is maybe a bit more in the mode of Robbie Basho or Sandy Bull – and the pieces ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD
A fantastic late 70s album from guitar genius John Fahey – his first after a number of years away from the recording studio – and a real back to basics effort overall! There's none of the "orchestra" trappings of other 70s records – nor some of Fahey's more longer-form ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD
One of the first full albums recorded by the legendary John Fahey – originally issued on the tiny Riverboat label, then circulated more widely on his own Takoma imprint! The set offers a second chapter of the sort of work on Fahey's Blind Joe Death debut – but the sound is already ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD
The seminal debut of the great John Fahey – posing here as Blind Joe Death – an acoustic guitarist whose bluesy undercurrents showcase Fahey's love of early recorded music! The style is pure Fahey throughout – those magical tones that cascade effortlessly off the heavily-plucked ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD
A really cool set – one of the unusual 70s albums made by guitarist Rick Ruskin for Takoma! The style here is a bit different than the label's work by John Fahey and Robbie Basho – still acoustic on most tracks, but with some vocals from Ruskin from time to time – and additional ...

A set that marks a new label for Doug Sahm, and maybe a slight shift in sound too – one that uses roots modes that extend a bit more past more familiar Texas territory, but only to showcase the depth in Sahm's music that continued to make him a legend long after his too-early passing! Doug's ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Test pressing in a standard cover, with a small fray at the top right corner.)
Gruff and deep down beautiful Mississippi Blues from Bukka White – released on John Fahey's Takoma label at the end of the 60s and featuring rawly rollicking, shaky voice intensity and that heat producing bottleneck guitar! It's wonderful stuff, certainly a high water mark for the late 60s ... (Blues) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(1980 pressing. Cover has a small rip near the top left corner, but looks great overall.)
Like a number of other reggae soundtracks, this collection of burning late 70s UK reggae transcends its use in the film, and makes a hard hitting set on its own. 10 numbers in all, including Yabby You "Deliver Me From My Enemies" and "Free Africa", Michael Prophet "Turn Me ...
