A very groovy soundtrack, for a very groovy little movie – the quirky Good Times, directed by William Friedkin, and kind of the precursor for the Sonny & Cher TV show!

A really wonderful little record – by a group who should have been much bigger than they were!

The first, and perhaps the most conventional album by Spanky & Our Gang – but still pretty darn insane!

A hell of a record from a Japanese band who answered to nobody else – a combo who could come on with the ferocity of James Gang or some of their contemporaries, but also hit some even wilder, more experimental moments too – something they definitely do here in the space of the double-len ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Great 2LP reissue – with the paper wraparound image of the original!)
A sweet little set from the Jeremy Spencer Band – a record that might have had more of a singer/songwriter vibe, or an AOR approach, had it been recorded a few years before, but which instead comes off here in a really unique blend of rock and disco!
