Catalyse ... LP 
BYG/Actuel (France), 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Fierce sounds from Ame Son – one of the most important French groups at the start of the 70s, and, as the title implies, an outfit who seemed to catalyze all the best elements going on at the time! The tunes are long, and relatively freewheeling – and instrumentation can get mighty ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mu Second Part ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Freedom —
Freedom At Last ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of the few rock albums on the BYG/Actuel label – and a nice one at that! The group's an early spinoff from the very first lineup of Procol Harum, but by the time this album was recorded the only thing the groups shared was drummer Bobby Harrison. The sound is stripped down blues rock ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Archie Shepp —
Blase ... CD BYG/Charly (UK), 1970. Used ... Out Of Stock
A crucial album from Archie Shepp – one that finds him enjoying new freedoms on the French scene at the end of the 60s – which then helps him take off from his earlier Impulse Records modes, at a level he'd then bring back to the label in the early 70s! There's a very free-thinking ... read more CD

Live In Antibes Vol 1 & 2 ... CD BYG/Fuel 2000, Late 60s. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock
A seminal live set from tenorist Archie Shepp – and some of his freest, least-structured material ever! Shepp's still a righteous force here on his horn, but there also seems to be equal emphasis on the contributions of all members of the group – woven together in a really rich ... read more CD
