Montreux Alexander – Live! At The Montreux Festival (green vinyl pressing) (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP MPS (Germany), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99
A stone classic from pianist Monty Alexander – a live date recorded for MPS in the mid 70s, and a set with even more fire than his studio sides for the label! The sound here is quite freewheeling at times – not funky, but in a very romping, gutbuckety mode that marks Alexander as a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Disaster – Luud Noma ... LP BASF/Ohm (Germany), 1972. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $30.99 34.99
A double-length monster from Amon Duul – issued after the first incarnation of the group had disbanded, and pulled from recordings that also gave the world the legendary Psychedelic Underground record!

Ventura ... LP 12T/Aftermath, 2019. New Copy Gatefold ... $25.99 28.99

Ariel —
Ariel ... LP Pick Up/Jazz Room (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 28.99
Brazilian fusion from Denmark – a really wonderful set from this cool Scandinavian combo!

Ash Ra Tempel —
Ash Ra Tempel ... LP Ohr/MG Art (Germany), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
A landmark set from the German prog scene – the first amazing utterance of Ash Ra Tempel, and a standard-setting album that few others could ever hope to match!

Also available Ash Ra Tempel ... CD 15.99(A great package – recut from the original tapes, with a replica of the original double fold out sleeve, plus a fold out poster and biosheet!)
Jeff Babko/Sam First, 2024. New Copy 2LP ... $34.99 44.99
Warmly well-rounded sounds from a mighty strong trio – a group who are certainly aware of some of the newer modes of expression that have opened up for the piano trio in the 21st Century, but who also balance things out with a more standard approach from time to time too! There's a very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bahamadia —
Kollage ... LP Chrysalis/Be With (UK), 1996. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $43.99 48.99
The killer debut of Bahamadia – an underground force on the same Philly scene that gave the world The Roots back in the 90s – and one who steps out here with a force that's fantastic!

Gow-Dow Experience (180 gram pressing) ... LP Gow Dow/Jazzman (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99 36.99
A rare bit of righteous jazz from the Cali scene of the 70s – a record that's much more obscure than some of the better-known efforts from the Bay Area and the LA scene, but which resonates strongly with all the power of those classics too! James Benson was an educator as much as he was a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Boite Boite (10 inch LP) ... LP Akuphone (France), 1980s. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99

(Limited edition!)
Ed Bogas/Fantasy/Varese, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $36.99
A killer little soundtrack – and one that's quite different than the usual blacksploitation set, but still pretty funky overall! The film Black Girl was a surprisingly sensitive movie directed by Ossie Davis in the early 70s – not as much about action as it was about the everyday life, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Show The World (splatter vinyl pressing) ... LP WIRL/Not Dead Yet, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 29.99

One of the three great collaborations between David Bowie and Brian Eno – and possibly the ultimate statement from his years in Berlin!

David Bowie —
Hunky Dory (180 gram pressing) ... LP Parlophone (Germany), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 26.99
Quite possibly David Bowie's first complete moment of genius – an incredibly-formed album that's filled with tunes beyond definition and description!

David Bowie —
Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars (180 gram pressing) ... LP Parlophone, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Arguably one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time – and the key flowering of the partnership between David Bowie and Mick Ronson!

Elaine Brown with Horace Tapscott —
Seize The Time (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Vault/Real Gone, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 36.99
A righteous treasure from the end of the 60s – an album of vocal tracks recorded by the Minister Of Information for the Black Panther Party, set to backings from the legendary jazz visionary Horace Tapscott! Elaine Brown's less of a soul singer than a powerful speaker who delivers the lyrics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Captain Beefheart —
Spotlight Kid (2LP deluxe edition – with bonus tracks) (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Reprise, 1972. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
An early 70s gem from Captain Beefheart – not as wild-eyed and whacked out as the late 60s glories – but still a good stretch weirder than most of the post psych, blues-steeped rock of the time! Ultimately, it's still Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, despite it being billed ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Spotlight Kid ... LP 19.99
Daniela Casa —
Arte Moderna ... LP Flipper/Cacophonic (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $24.99 29.99
Modern art, but of the sonic variety – served up here by composer Daniela Casa on a rare sound library album, but with a free-thinking quality that rivals the best of the avant garde at the time!

A great small club performance from Nat King Cole – of the sort he never really recorded for Capitol Records, even though this set is right in the middle of his glory days on the label!

Comus —
First Utterance (180 gram white vinyl pressing) ... LP Dawn/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1970. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $30.99 33.99
A legendary group who never fully got their due – and maybe one of the creepier acts on the British scene at the start of the 70s! The cover art probably gives things away – but the sound of the record is even more haunting – with some acoustic elements that echo the acid folk ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Daft Punk —
Alive 2007 (180 gram pressing) ... LP Parlophone, 2007. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $31.99 34.98
Daft Punk's epic second live album – an uncommon feat for an electronic act of their era, in that they had that kind of pop or rock cache to build a reputation as a must see live "band', without compromising their club floor shaking genius – and a bit of a classic in its own right. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tyler Daley —
Son Of Zeus ... LP First Word (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Tyler Daley comes on like the child of thunder here – effortlessly mixing harder-edged hip hop modes and gentler soul moments – all with a criss-crossing vibe that's much more British-styled than American indie soul sets of this nature!

Fantastic work from Delta 5 – one of our favorite groups from the UK post-punk years, and a group whose funky, dubby approach to punk rivals the best work by groups like The Slits or Gang Of Four! Like both groups, they have smart songs with interesting lyrics – but focused down right ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Devo —
Freedom Of Choice (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Warner/Rhino, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 23.99
The era that catapulted cult heroes Devo into pop culture history – with bubblier synths, catchier hooks, and crazier multimedia shenanigans than ever before from these pioneers of the video era – and time capsule pop angle aside, it's still one of the best and most innovate albums of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Doors —
LA Woman (180 gram pressing) ... LP Elektra, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Maybe one of our favorite Doors records of all time – if only for the long Fender Rhodes solo by Ray Manzarek on the album's final track, "Riders On The Storm"!

Fear —
Record (180 gram magenta vinyl pressing) ... LP Slash/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 38.99
The legendary debut of Fear – a landmark in the LA punk scene of the early 80s, and a set that's maybe also showing some of the key shifts that were happening at the time!

One of the best soul collaborations ever! Fela and Roy Ayers team up for this whopping album that brings together the best sides of these monster soul talents of the 70s!

Fela & Africa 70 —
Expensive Sh*t (180 gram pressing) ... LP Knitting Factory, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 25.99

Fleetwood Mac (1975) ... LP Reprise, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!

Fleetwood Mac —
Rumours ... LP Warner, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 26.99
One of the most classic albums of the 70s – a never-ending hit that's continued to inspire generations!

Yogi Jazz (180 gram pressing) ... LP CBS/Tiger Bay (UK), 1963. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Tremendous early work from German saxophonist Joki Freund – a player who would go onto much greater fame in the progressive years at the end of the 60s, but who already sounds plenty darn great on this early combo side from 1963!

Guitar Solos – Fifty ... LP Caroline/Weekend (Germany), 1974/2024. New Copy 2LP ... $53.99 58.99
An incredible album from guitarist Fred Frith – his solo debut, and a record that really set the tone for so many other musicians for years to come!

My Favorite Tune (180 gram pressing) ... LP Slow Boat/We Release Jazz (Switzerland), 1994. New Copy (reissue)... $35.99 39.99

The final album in the "qatsi" trilogy, and one that's got the same sublime Philip Glass scoring as the others – but which also features some beautiful cello solos from Yo Yo Ma too!

Grateful Dead —
In The Dark (silver vinyl pressing) ... LP Arista/Grateful Dead, 1987. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
An album that hardly has the Grateful Dead in the dark – given that it was one of their biggest of the 80s, and really helped the group find a big new audience, thanks to a surprising hit! All the older elements are still in place, but the production has definitely changed since the early ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Grant Green —
Nigeria (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1962/1980. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Damn great work from guitarist Grant Green – one of his killer sessions with pianist Sonny Clark – recorded in the early 60s, but unissued until nearly 20 years later!

Green Day —
Dookie (picture disc) ... LP Reprise, 1994. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Bratty Bay Area pop punks Green Day hit the bigtime – paving the way for FAR too many lesser acts to hit paydirt, sure, but you can't get too mad at Billie Joe, Mike and Tre for that when this one is still such a blast decades later!

Donny Hathaway —
Donny Hathaway Collection (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Atlantic, Early 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $36.99 39.99
Pure genius from Donny Hathaway – a 70s soul giant who burned brightly for just a few years, then was taken away from us all too soon!
