(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and aging, peeled spot from sticker removal, some clear tape at the top seam and spine, and some marker in back.)
Amazing music from the greatest chapter of the legendary Louvin Brothers – the kind of work that's made them a legend for generations!

Da Capo ... LP Elektra, 1967. Near Mint- ...
$29.99
A stunning second album from Love – a set that's still without the fuller orchestrations and baroque touches of Forever Changes – but which already shows the group moving in that direction! The rough, gritty edge of the group is very firmly intact – but they've already got a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Recent red vinyl limited reissue with bonus colored 7" single.)
What can we say? This is one of the greatest albums of all time! The record's got a sound that's completely unique – as crack LA garage punk rock meets Hollywood baroque production, and the result is an amazing bit of loud guitar noise backed by strings and horns, all graced by the godlike ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Love ... LP Elektra, 1966. Very Good+ ...
$39.99
Love's first album – a seminal bit of Sunset Strip rock, and every bit as powerful today as it was in the 60s! The style's a bit sharper-edged than the group's classic and more familiar Forever Changes set, but it's still pretty darn great – a completely fresh batch of guitar-heavy ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo big E red label pressing. Cover has a cut corner, but is great otherwise!)
Quite an obscure one by Love – a mid 70s record that actually has quite a bit of soul in the mix! The album almost seems to be going for a Sly Stone approach – expanding the group past Arthur Lee and crew with a host of additional players that include Harvey Mandel, Bobby Lyle, and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Love Cry Want (Larry Young/Joe Gallivan/Stephen Nicholas) —
Love Cry Want ... LP Lion/Return To Analog, 1972. New Copy (reissue)...
$22.99
Rare material that was originally recorded in 1972 by organist Larry Young – some of his most outside material ever, and done with a bunch of young musicians who wail on all of these weird electronic instruments! The set's way wilder even than any of Young's albums that were issued at the ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Love Parade —
Out To Sea ... CD Firestation (Germany), 1991. Used ...
$4.99
Wonderful work from Love Sculpture – a heavy British trio from the end of the 60s – and one that features a young Dave Edmunds on guitar! There's a slight bluesy undercurrent in Dave's style, but the music also has that tightly compressed sound that would emerge more strongly during ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing. Cover has splitting on the bottom seam, light surface wear, corner bumps.)
HP Lovecraft drummer Michael Tegza soldiers on with a new group as Lovecraft – with a tighter sound that blends hard driving drums and guitars with more delicate, harmony vocal accented songcraft! It's a far cry from the psychedelic experimentation of HP Lovecraft – but it's actually a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, splitting on the spine, ring wear.)
Here it is – the first Spoonful LP in all its sunny, groovy glory – and the sum is so much more than just a great single! Like the Byrds, the group is built on traditionally structured back-porch melodies. In the case of the Spoonful, jug band influences provide the core rhythmic ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono yellow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has wear, aging, a cutout hole and a mostly split top seam.)
The most understated album by the Lovin Spoonful – and possibly their best work ever! It's really a showcase for leader/chief songwriter John Sebastian and proto-country rock guitarist Zal Yanovsky. "Summer In The City" is the one that buttered the group's bread for the next ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing. Cover has edge wear, hype sticker, cutout hole, aging. Includes Kama Sutra inner sleeve.)

$6.99
Crazy Mabel's not the lady on the cover, as it's just the name of this all-male combo – an overlooked group who do a nice job of serving up rootsy rock numbers with some fairly trippy touches! These guys clearly have a blues influence, but are more freewheeling too – and work with ... read moreCD
An incredible album by one of our favorite Brazilian artists! This gem from 1972 is an album that we'd rank right up there with work by Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, or Lo Borges from the same time – with an underground singer/songwriter style, performed in a manner that mixes rock and jazz ... (Brazil, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A classic yet unusual take on the sound of post-folk vocals in the world of 70s pop – a set done by gentle-voiced Mary MacGregor, a singer who would have had much more acoustic support a decade before – yet who here has an unusual blend of AOR elements and more laidback modes, all ... read moreCD
A comeback album of sorts for Lonnie Mack, recorded for Elektra with a really down-home sound that's almost verging on southern soul at points! In a way, the set's kind of a nod to the sorts of genres in rock that Mack's music first helped unlock in earlier years – done at a time when it was ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Almost a late British invasion group – and a pretty darn groovy one at that! The Magic Lanterns hail from the UK, but they've got a sound that's picked up some of the Sunshine pop and jazzier touches of the US pop scene in the late 60s – heard to great effect on the title hit "Sham ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole. Labels have a name in pen.)
An overlooked 80s album from reedman Didier Malherbe – best known for his 70s experiments in jazz and prog! The style here continues that mode, but adds in a touch of fusion – but all in a way that's very tasteful, and much cooler than the cover might make you expect! (Jazz, Rock)LP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl has a very short click right at the start, but is great overall. Cover has some light corner bumping, but looks great otherwise.)
Wonderfully dark harmonies from The Mamas & The Papas – one of those amazing late 60s albums from the group that was pop on the outside, but something very else underneath – a wonderful blend of modes that was hardly duplicated this well again! There's a slightly spooky feel to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Early 70s black label stereo pressing in the "Dedicated To The One I Love" cover with Gold Record Award logo.)
Beautiful harmonies from this legendary group – set to some great backings that include Hal Blaine on drums and Larry Knechtel on keyboards! There's a lot of nice non-hit material – titles that include "Ivy", "Mansions", "The Right Somebody To Love", " ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing in the split-front gatefold cover, with minimal wear.)
Soulful sounds from 70s Chile – and a record that easily rivals some of the best acoustic work from the post-Tropicalia generation in Brazil! Manduka's got a heady sound that's very much in keeping with his image on the cover – a freer sort of approach to the music than the decade ... (Global Grooves, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Libre Service ... LP Polydor/Return To Analog (Canada), 1978. New Copy (reissue)...
$19.9923.99
Great work from Maneige – a French Canadian group who work in an instrumental mode that's partly jazz, and partly prog – but very much their own sort of vibe! The group had already cut some other excellent records before this one, and they're razor-sharp throughout – tight, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Lots of early classics – "Pretty Flamingo", "Let's Go Get Stoned", "My Little Red Book", "Got My Mojo Working", "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", and "Oh No Not My Baby". LP, Vinyl record album

Fantastic work from Carl Mann – one of the under-sung heroes of the Sun Records rockabilly years – and a mighty raw talent overall! Includes his classic take on "Mona Lisa", the monstrous "Ubangi Stomp", and other titles that include "Rockin Love", "So ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A laidback set of funky instrumentals served up by a combo who mix up organ, guitar, bass, and drums – plus nice use of percussion in all the right moments, which underscores the slight exotica bent they hint at in the title! There's also some slight but great use of electronics – ... (Deep Funk, Rock)read moreCD
Phil Manzanera/801 —
Listen Now ... LP Polydor (UK), 1977. Very Good+ ...
$4.99
Quite possibly the best of the solo Phil Manzanera projects – a wonderfully tight album that's surprisingly soulful and funky at times! Phil gets some great studio help from Eno and Godley & Creme – the latter two of who can really be felt on the record's well-penned lyrical ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US Polydor pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a corner bump and light surface wear & aging.)
(Yellow label EU pressing. Cover has some edge wear, minor flaking near the edges, and a piece of clear tape over a sticker spot at the top right corner..)
The title track's a mighty big hit for The Marketts – and it's also a great way to describe the group's talent for pushing past their boundaries at the time! The sound is surf instrumental at the core – but really stretches out to space themes, soundtrack areas, and more – thanks ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono grey label vitaphonic pressing. Cover has a split bottom seam, light wear, and a bit of light staining on the back.)
The Marketts take to wheels here – making the move to hot rod themes that so many other surf instrumental groups were doing at the time – yet also finding their own unique groove in the process! The Marketts always had more of an overall studio sound than some of the more live rock ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$7.9918.99
A beautiful blend of folksy vocals and light jazz touches – all in a laidback and blue-tinged mode that's not unlike some of the best late 60s Tim Buckley work for Elektra! Like Tim, Gary Marks has a real respect for jazz in the mix – and he allows plenty of space here for vibes from ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreCD
Wild stuff! This album's beyond description – sort of a mix of the baroque instrumental arrangements of David Axelrod, and the tape/musique concrete grooves of Jon Appleton, with some of the hippiness of the work of Galt MacDermot – but still very different than all of them!
