Think what you want about Captain & Tennille – the set's a monumental bit of 70s pop, and one that found a way to push the 60s hipness of A&M Records to the next level! The set's got a mainstream polish, but it's the summation of all sorts of cool elements that had been bubbling ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original Japanese pressing – GP-244 – with obi, printed inner sleeve, and insert. Cover has light wear, some aging, and a smudge and some remnants from price sticker removal.)
Not everyone digs the later Captain and crew, but the early 80s efforts have finally gotten their just props after all these years – and we'll we'll come right out and say that this second to last album before Don Van Vliet hung up the music for painting has always sounded great to us! The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear, yellowing from age, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Tan label stereo pressing, with Artisan etch. NOTE – Cover has staining and heavy wear on 3 corners with peeled spots, ring wear, top seam splitting – but the vinyl is nice!)
A seminal moment in leftfield music – maybe the crowning achievement of Captain Beefheart, and a landmark collaboration with Frank Zappa as well! Zappa produced, and gave the group plenty of room to stretch out on this double-length set done for his Bizarre Records imprint – which ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Newly-remastered version, and re-cut at Bernie Grundman!)
A set that's maybe a bit more standard song-based than some of the Captain's other records, but an album that's still filled with all the special magic that makes Beefheart so great! The magic band includes work from Zoot Horn Rollo on some wonderful glass finger guitar, plus keyboards from Mark ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A lost prog nugget from a group who mix keyboards and woodwinds in a really great way – almost complicated, but with a down to earth quality overall – and one that seems to work especially well with the French language lyrics of the set! The record's one of those obscure French sets ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Ian Carr with Nucleus —
Belladonna ... LP Vertigo/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
Just Sold Out!
One of the heaviest electric sets from UK trumpeter Ian Carr – and that's really saying a lot, given how much heavy work he cut with his group Nucleus! The sound here is a groundbreaking mix of acoustic horns and keyboards – trumpet from Carr, and a mix of tenor, soprano, alto, and ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really fantastic album from trumpeter Ian Carr and his legendary Nucleus group – a combo who are really right on the money here, finding their own sort of space at a level that's very different than some of the other rock/jazz projects on the UK scene at the time! There's often a lot more ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Martin Carthy —
Martin Carthy ... LP Fontana/Topic (UK), 1965. New Copy (reissue)...
$27.9929.99
Early genius from the great Martin Carthy – the kind of set that had a huge influence on the acid folk generation to come, and one that also marks the start of a huge amount of contributions Carthy would make to the UK scene! The album is spare, with just Martin on vocals and guitar – ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Titles include "Skateboard King", "Skateboard Party", "Skateboard Queen", "Skateboard Dancing", "Skateboard Surfing", and "Skateboard Racing". LP, Vinyl record album
The sixth volume of American Recordings from Johnny Cash – recorded in the months between June's & Johnny's passing – produced by an increasingly reverent Rick Rubin and put together with care and consideration. Cash sounds justifiably weary on these late recordings, with songs ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram pressing from 2014. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
A slightly headier sound than before from Chad & Jeremy – music that's still in a great mix of Brit Invasion and Sunshine Pop, but which also shows a somewhat deeper sensibility too – a desire to reach past the simpler pop modes that first got the pair going here in the US! Chad ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo 360 Sound label pressing. Cover has masking tape on the bottom seam, spot of marker.)
A shot of tequila and a whole lot more – one of the few albums issued by the legendary Champs, a group who helped reinvent the sound of instrumental rock at the start of the 60s! The group's classic "Tequila" is a very familiar mix of raunchy sax, strutting guitar, and some ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original 2-color label pressing! Cover has a split bottom seam with wide clear tape, light wear on spine, light surface wear & aging.)
A never-issued album from Cali surf legends The Chantays – and a set that offers up a surprisingly nice twist at this late point in their career! The surf guitars of before are still very much in place, but the rhythms and production have changed in a nice way – reflecting that moment ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(On "Seaglass blue" vinyl!)
Bobby Charles —
Chess Masters ... LP Chess, Mid/Late 50s. Near Mint- ...
$14.9919.99
A title that seems to take off from Chubby Checker's bit trademark hit, but the overall groove is a lot better than you might expect – set for twisting, sure, but in a nicely rough and ready style that's almost equal parts soul and R&B! Some tunes are familiar, but twist-ified – ... (Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label pressing with deep groove. Cover has surface wear & aging, light edge wear.)
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound, the studio referenced in the title of the album, and presented in a wonderful cover image that has Cher standing outside the tiny facility with a host of legendary studio players that include Eddie Hinton, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Beckett, and Roger Hawkins! Sonny's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram clear & purple vinyl pressing. Includes the insert.)
The first Chicago album – presented here in all its jazzy brilliance! Back in the day, we used to wince when we heard these guys – but over the years, thanks to much rediscovery of the band by groove hounds, we've really come to like their work a lot. This first album especially has ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really cool Canadian group from the 60s – an all-native lineup of members from the Tsimshian Nation – but working here in a raw garagey style that's totally great! The drums are lean and powerful, guitar follows suit, and vocals often have a surprisingly charming quality – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Red label stereo pressing. Vinyl has a small mark that clicks a bit in between "No Survivors" and "I Realize". Cover has ringwear, aging, heavy wear and splitting in the top seam, center split in the bottom seam, and application wrinkles.)
The one-and-only album by upstate New York's wonderfully trippy psych-folk Chrysalis – a buried rock treasure from 1968. Definition is a strange title for the record, as the group refuses to be bound to any one – mixing laidback, trippy psychedelia, oddball folk, and meandering strains ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo gatefold pressing, with cool foil artwork inside! Cover has surface wear.)
A really unique record, one that seems to mix some of the spacey sounds of the electronic ambient world of the early 80s underground with more tuneful, song-based modes of the post-punk generation – all at a level that seems to move effortlessly between both sorts of styles! There's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the most stunning debut albums of the 70s – and a set that burst on the scene with a sound that summed up a generation, but which had never been heard this clearly before! This self-titled Clash album was different from other landmarks of the time – work by the Sex Pistols, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing with Sterling stamp/JS etch. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
The second album from The Clash – ferocious, melodic and masterful bits of barbed greatness from the group – the greatest flaw of which is that it's not the first album. They're still completely great, playing in peak form even with the less shambling, slightly more polished production ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US orange label pressing in the block font cover. Cover has minimal wear.)
The longest album ever from The Clash – a stunning triple LP set that really shows the group bristling with new ideas and energy throughout!

(US pressing with Sterling stamp. Includes the fold-out Armagideon Times No 3 insert. Cover has light wear.)
Groovy girl pop from late 60s France – a treasure trove of under-discovered numbers from the lovely Clothilde!

$27.9929.99
The first rumblings of genius from German electronic giants Cluster – but oddly, a record recorded without any synthesizers at all!

Cluster —
Zuckerzeit ... LP Brain/Superior Viaduct, 1974. New Copy (reissue)...
Just Sold Out!
A slightly sweeter version of Cluster than on previous records – a bit more focused, tuneful, and rhythmic – thanks to some great use of the "rhythmusmaschine"! Most numbers here have a slightly pulsating feel – one that really prefaces the electronic modes that would ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(80s reissue pressing – in a cool flipback cover!)
About as classic as you can get for the great Eddie Cochran – no surprise, since the album was put together to mourn his untimely early passing, and is filled with some of the best tracks he ever cut for Liberty Records!

New Skin for Leonard Cohen, who by 1974 was ready to start singing with a bit more flair, and do so over more textured arrangements – but still raw both emotionally and in the unglossy instrumentation! The core of the sound is still Cohen's voice, his words, and acoustic guitar – but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

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!
