A record with a psychedelic cover, and definitely some psychedelic moments – but also served up with some fuller arrangements that really send things over the top – likely put together by Mike Hugg, who wrote the notes on the back. LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small cutout hole.)

Quite an unusual moment for Procol Harum – still riding strong here onto their ninth album as a group – but also bringing in the legendary production team of Leiber & Stoller to help sharpen their sound!

Procol Harum —
Salty Dog ... LP A&M, 1969. Near Mint- ...
$29.99
Maybe our favorite album from Procol Harum – a set that adds in some wonderful use of strings to the group's unique style – almost moving forward on the promise of the earlier single "Whiter Shade Of Pale", moving into much deeper territory overall! There's something about ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Tan label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Relatively late work in the classic years of Procol Harum – but as any true fan of the group will tell you, these guys never stopped being great – even if the rest of the world wasn't paying as close of attention as they were back in the 60s! Gary Brooker's vocals and piano are still ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the greatest moments ever from Psychic TV – and a really stunning surprise after the breakup of Throbbing Gristle!

Right Now ... LP Caroline, 1987. Very Good+ ...
$19.9924.99
Blistering raunch 'n' roll from Pussy Galore! They had pretty much perfected their mess by the time Right Now came out.

Game ... LP Elektra, 1980. Very Good+ ...

(US pressing with flower etch in a non-foil cover. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, bumped corners, and small worn spots at the spine.)
A landmark album from Queen – a set conceived when the group were already at the top of their game, and willing to not only lean into their strengths, but also take a few chances by slimming things down, and really bringing the focus onto the guitar work, vocals, and heavy rhythms that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the most progressive albums on the American scene of the late 60s – a set that's definitely psych, but which has a put-together quality that's something else as well!

(80s UK Edsel reissue. Cover has corner wear and a small trace of a price sticker.)
Quicksilver Messenger Service —
What About Me ... LP Capitol, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$19.99
A record that's really out of time and place – a set that sounds nothing like most other material issued in 1980, and which also hardly shows any traces of the Louisiana roots of Will & James Ragar! Instead, the set's got this laidback style that's almost folk funk at times, especially ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A conscious classic from the start of the 70s – a record that gave the US its huge title hit – which was one of the biggest mainstream songs to recognize the struggles of the Native American at a key political point. The rest of the record follows in very similar spirit – much ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The Ramones really caught their classic recorded sound for the first time on Leave Home – the second of their three perfect late 70s milestones.

As great of a rock & roll album as there's ever been!

The birth of punk rock as a bonafide genre, and not only that, a record that changed the rules – stripping rock and roll back down raw essentials – and unwittingly appearing as one of the greatest rock albums ever made. Given the stripped, buzzing simplicity, it's impossible to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The third Ramones album, one that a sizeable chuck of the most zealous fans believes to be their very best – and they might be right!

The fun fun soundtrack to Rock 'N' Roll High School – that gloriously, knowingly trashy Roger Corman produced movie vehicle for the Ramones!

A simple title, but a classic album – arguably one of Kenny Rankin's biggest hits of the 70s, but every bit as great as his lesser-known work! Don Costa arranged the set, but the sound is still wonderfully intimate – with a focus on Kenny's vocals and acoustic guitar, steeped in folksy ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear and small corner bumps.)
Post Pearls Before Swine work from Tom Rapp – a record that has him stepping out as a solo act, but with a feel that's quite similar to his recordings with the group! The mood here is laidback and slightly folksy – but also augmented more by piano than by guitar, and recorded with a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The first really major album from Rare Earth – issued on their own self-named subsidiary of Motown! The set's a perfect blend of the rich undercurrents of the heady Detroit scene of the late 60s – at one level a tripped-out rock record with styles that almost hint at MC5, at another ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s Motown reissue pressing, still sealed with a small price code sticker.)

A bold step forward for the Rascals – and a record that really has them taking some great chances with their music!

(Green & blue label stereo pressing. Cover has a small cutout hole and minimal wear.)
Nothing too peaceful here – at least not in a sleepy sort of way – as The Rascals are really hitting on all burners, and starting to mix a bit of funk in with their groove!

Lou Reed —
Blue Mask ... LP RCA, 1981. Very Good+ ...
Just Sold Out!
The incredible later masterpiece from Lou Reed – still one of the great rock records of the early 80s and a real late peak for Lou!

(Original pressing – AFL1-4221. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has some wear and aging.)
The last-ever album from the legendary Lou Reed – and a set that's completely different from the sounds he gave the world in the Velvet Underground, and on most of his solo work in recent decades too! The music is spare and ambient, and very much lives up to the "meditations" in ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Lou Reed at his mid 70s live peak! Volumes have already been and will continue to be written about Lou's output in the 70s, and rightly so. This set is particularly amazing in that it follows the artful highpoint/financial failure that is Berlin – so Lou is doing the rock & roll star ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Late 70s black label pressing in a Best Buy Series cover with minimal wear.)
A lost classic that needs to be in every hip rock collection!

The masterpiece by one of the greatest, most sincere rock bands of all time! Let It Be veers all over the place, or at least as much as jangly rock music can, in the best way possible.

If you dig the Replacements as much as us, you can never get enough – especially during the first few years of the group's career, when it seemed like they were really on fire with a very fresh new sound! This set is a great lost chapter of the group from that time – and represents the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Seminal sounds from The Residents – a record that's purportedly inspired by the ceremonial music of the Eskimo – but it's very a much a Residents album, and one that follows their own absurdist adventuresome impulses! There's often this cold, drifting wave of sound in the background ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(2nd pressing on black vinyl, includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Always-enigmatic sounds from The Residents – a bit more fully-formed than some of their earliest recordings, but still sprawled out nicely over the space of the full album!

There's lots of analog fuzz and echo – that same ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Classic power pop from The Rezillos – a record with guitars fast and hard enough to almost be late 70s punk rock, but which often comes off with a more playful, whimsical new wave sort of approach! Tracks are short and hook-heavy – produced by Bob Clearmountain with that razor-edged ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An overlooked gem by the great Charlie Rich – an album recorded for Hi Records in the years before he broke big on Columbia in the late 60s – but at a level that certainly points the way towards his country fame to come! And yet, as with most of the best music by Rich – like his ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A real lost treasure from Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers – a record that has them breaking from the kid pop of some of their other late 70s albums, setting the stage for Richman's unabashed love-inspired pop of the 80s.
