Groundbreaking work from Laura Nyro – exactly the kind of record that sums up the unique genius in her music! The record's not folk, not pop, not soul, nor jazz vocals – but a new sort of style that draws a bit from all those genres, and comes up with a bold new approach that opened ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing. Cover has some ring and edge wear, with some fraying at the top seam.)
Laura Nyro's second album in her legendary early run for Columbia Records – and an effort that's a bit more dramatic than the first!

Was there a more tragic figure in the 60s scene than Phil Ochs? Perhaps, but this is still a wonderful piece of his odd and sad career, a great portrait with his unrelenting political stance still in place, though not as raw as some of his other LPs. More arranged than any of his other LPs, but ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An overlooked 60s pop gem from Kenny O'Dell – a great mix of twangy vocals and Sunshine Pop production – all served up with a really unique sort of sparkle!

A beautiful follow up to Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield – even if the slow building success of that classic first album ended up literally bypassing the newer Hergest Ridge on the charts at the time!

(Original French pressing in the "New Mike Oldfield" cover, bent a bit at the edges.)
Easily one of the most successful albums of the British jazz rock years – but still a longtime favorite of ours as well!

Insane grooves from arranger Mustafa Ozkent – an artist who was to Turkey what Lalo Schifrin was to the US in the 70s! Like Lalo, Mustafa had a great ear for mixing funkier rhythms and fuller orchestrations – often with odd instrumental twists and turns that bubble over with a fair bit ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A strange spacey soundtrack from mid 80s Spain – one composed for a daytime TV show, but with a weird electronic vibe that must have shocked the kids who were watching at the time!

These guys are incredible – an under-discovered group who've ... (Global Grooves, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The last of Van Dyke Parks' classic early trio of albums for Warner Brothers – and possibly the straightest of the bunch!
