Warner/Esoteric (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $14.99 22.99
An overdue reunion for Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll (now billed as Tippetts) – and a late 70s session that sounds quite a bit different than their mod soul of the 60s! The format here is still somewhat in a soul-based vein – but the sound is much more 70s, and much more "adult&qu ... read more CD
Centipede —
Septober Energy (2CD edition) ... CD RCA/Esoteric (UK), 1971. New Copy 2CD ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Hatfield & The North (with bonus tracks) ... CD Virgin/Esoteric (UK), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
The seminal debut of Hatfield & The North – a group that maybe came a bit late in the UK prog scene of the early 70s, but who had a huge influence for decades to come!

John McLaughlin & John Surman —
Where Fortune Smiles ... CD Dawn/Esoteric (UK), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A groundbreaking early album from guitarist John McLaughlin – a set that's a bit different than his more famous work of the mid 70s – with maybe a more avant approach, and a lot more bite as well! The set's really an equal collaboration, rather than just a McLaughlin session – ... read more CD

Sunset Glow ... CD RCA/Esoteric (UK), 1975. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Turn It Over (with bonus track) ... CD Polydor/Esoteric (UK), 1970. Used ... Out Of Stock
Although Tony Williams started out as one of the most subtle drummers of the 60s, this album has him coming a long way from his "new thing" Blue Note recordings – and taking off with enough power to reach the moon! The group featured is Williams classic Lifetime lineup – with ... read more CD
