Now Sound — In Stock — LPs

A wonderfully moody session from the late 50s – one that features the eerie vocals of Leda Annest over the orchestrations of Phil Moore! Leda's got a haunting voice that's somewhere in the range of Yma Sumac, but a bit less dramatic – more kind of a wordless instrument, used amidst the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

With a cover like that, it's easy to see where the fantasy in the title is going – certainly not into the musky world of swords and sorcery, and instead into the realm of slinky sounds that are right at home in the Italian sound library world of the 70s! The music here has all the warm ... (Sound Library, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

An electronic classic from the Rotary Sound Library archives – a set that starts out spare and moogy, but ends up with some really cosmic grooves! The music here is quite different than the usual 70s electronic set – and really almost points the way towards use of electronics in the ...

Space age rock and roll! The great Jimmy Haskell is one of the hippest arrangers of the 50s and 60s – and he penned more than a few great charts in his day for rock and roll oriented films and TV shows. This rare album has him writing some cool spaced-out instrumentals that basically take a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stunning work from Lesiman – easily one of the coolest, funkiest talents on the Italian sound library scene of the 70s!

A weird mix of watery piano and organ lines from Norma Lyon – an obscure Northwest Pacific composer of the 60s, heard here in a self-produced album from the time! The record's divided up into two very poetic sides – "Sea Sketches" and "Dune Sketches" – each of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A moody bit of soundtrack genius from Narassa – aka Stefano Torossi, the Italian maestro who's given us so many laidback gems over the years! There's a slow-stepping vibe to most of these cuts – bass moving quietly along, with blocks of keyboards following suit – and some other ...

Wild! The Nutty Squirrels were an obvious attempt to cash in on the success of Alvin & The Chipmunks during the late 50s – a studio-trickery session handled with the voices of Don Elliott and Sascha Burland – but to our ears, honestly, the album's a lot better! You see, both ... (Comedy/Spoken, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sweet keyboards galore – a wonderful sound library set from the Italian scene of the 70s – filled with Fender Rhodes throughout!

One of the coolest albums ever from the legendary Cometa sound library – a set that's every bit as weird and wonderful as you'd guess from its cover image of a hand holding a flower with eyeballs on each petal! The music's maybe not as trippy as that picture, but it does have lots of cool ... (Sound Library, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

An obscure US album that presents some late 50s work recorded by Parisian easy maestro Andre Popp! Popp's had a strong reputation for years as being the Esquivel of the other side of the Atlantic, and this album's a perfect illustration of that point – very much like the earliest Esquivel ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A lost Hi Fi gem! Released in America under the name of "Elsa Popping & Her Pixieland Band" – the record is actually a stunning collaboration between French orchestra leader Andre Popp and sound effects wizard Pierre Fatosme. The sound is wild and swinging, with a feel that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A swirling batch of easy groovers – the light and lively orchestrations of Aldemaro Romero, augmented by lead guitar from Charlie Byrd! The sound is Latin-inflected with a soaring finish – part 60s easy, part bossa-inspired orchestration, with touches of Italian soundtrack styles as ...

Fantastic stuff! In case you don't know it, this is one of Lalo Schifrin's most incredible soundtracks, and it's a stunning mix of jazz, bossa, and groovy grooves.

A really nice little take on the Barbarella soundtrack – one that offers up some of the coolest tunes from the film, and throws in some other nice bits as well!

Groovy Brit tunes with exotic Far East influences – affectionately compiled by the deep digging geniuses at Trunk Records! Persian Pop & Casbah Jazz From The Wild British Isles is an apt description, alright – as the vibe is very much in a bright, groovy late 50s/early 60s Brit mode ...

A beautiful batch of jazzy grooves, and even better than the first volume! This stuff's all super-rare, and culled from strange European sources – and the cuts have more of a jazz-groove than an easy-groove kind of sound, in a way that's different from some of the other Italian comps we've ...

Don't worry about getting too spooked out – as the voodoo here isn't the stuff of zombie armies rising from the ground – and instead is more the evocative musical type – served up here in a host of Latin, Caribbean, and exotica-tinged tracks from the end of the 50s! The set steps ... (Latin, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
