Chess (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... $13.99
An album that begins with an amazing break – and then rolls into a great batch of fuzzy guitar grooves!

Sweet 70s fusion from guitarist Toto Blanke – a set done a bit after his better-known record for Vertigo, and with a very similar vibe!

A fantastic addition to the all-too-small catalog of recordings by Jay Bolotin – a Kentucky songwriter whose compositions were recorded by bigger names down in Nashville, even if Jay never fully got his due!

Motown (Japan), 1973. New Copy ... $13.99
A great easy groover from early 70s Motown!

In a way, ... read more CD

A fantastic early solo project from guitarist Roy Buchanan – recorded for Polydor at the start of the 70s, but never issued at the time!

A bluesy classic from Roy Buchanan – and a record that states his mighty guitar powers right from the very first note!

A smoking live set from the Butterfield Blues Band – and like all the group's work, as much of a jazz and soul album as a blues one! Butterfield drew his inspiration from the Chicago bluesmen, it's true – but his style also has plenty of echoes of New Orleans soul, Memphis R&B, and ... read more CD

Oldays (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... $13.99
Jaunty pop from the 60s Italian scene – sung by a singer with a voice that's lively on the swingers, and just the right pitch on the mellower numbers! Backings are relatively full – there's a larger orchestra pictured on the back cover – but as with so much Euro pop of the period ... read more CD

Cinewax, 1971. New Copy ... $13.99 16.98
A really wild little album – featuring songs from the documentary about Dennis Hopper from the early 70s.

Larry Coryell tries out his vocal chops a bit on this album with his classic group from the early 70s – but the main "voice" on the record is still his wonderfully tight guitar – which has a beautifully sharp sound throughout!

Philips/Elemental (Spain), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
Essential early material by Gal Costa!

EMI/Gronland (Germany), 1979. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
Not a soundtrack album from Holger Czukay – despite what you might guess from the title – and instead a batch of nicely tuneful, often-catchy tracks that somewhat follow the style of late 70s work from Can!

Gronland (Germany), 1993. New Copy ... $13.99 14.98
Holger Czukay works here with many of his frequent musical partners – including Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebeziet, and Michael Karoli – but the album actually feels a bit more like his then-recent collaborations with David Sylvian – more concerned with subtle shifts in sound and space ... read more CD
Virgin/Gronland (Germany), 1986. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
Holger Czukay works here completely live – either in the Can studio on side one, or live in concert on side two – but always with the sonic complexity that we love on some of his more production-heavy projects! There's maybe more of a sense of songform here throughout – lyrics ... read more CD

Without Mercy (4CD set) ... CD Factory Benelux (Luxembourg), 1986. New Copy 4 CDs ... $24.99
A beautiful little record from Durutti Column – and a bit of a departure for Vini Reilly, given that there's more of an overall concept to the album! The set's an all-instrumental one – a bit different than his blue-tinged vocal work of the first few Factory albums – but it's ... read more CD

The most unusual work we've ever heard from this very unusual Japanese group from the early 80s – a dubby, bassy combo who work somewhere in the territory of A Certain Ratio – but also have a complex sound that's all their own! The album only features two long tracks, but each is ... read more CD
Musea/Lion, 1971. New Copy ... $6.99
Extremely heady work from the French scene of the early 70s – and hardly the Latin Rock album you might guess from the title! Ergo Sum have a sound that's as contemplative as their name – a slow-building, almost brooding blend of jamming, jazzy work on flute, Fender Rhodes, organ, ... read more CD
Tower/Beatball (Korea), Late 60s. New Copy ... $22.99
Great work from Eternity's Children – a really unique soft psych group, one with roots in the south, but a sound that was later polished by LA sunshine!

Heritage/Beatball (Korea), 1969. New Copy ... $19.99
Sweet sunshiney wonderfulness from an incredibly groovy group – a quartet of voices who are equally trained in folk and harmony modes, but who move into some even hipper territory on this record!

Creation/Cherry Red (UK), 1988. New Copy CD & 7 Inch ... $32.99
The title's got a subtle sort of poetry, one that's really reflected in the music – especially as this time around, they eschew their familiar organ and guitar for lots of jazzy work on piano and vibes – served up here in an all-instrumental mode! The album's not entirely jazz, but ... read more CD

Orfeon (Mexico), 1978. New Copy ... $4.99
Wow! A rare late 70s spacey rock record from Fongus – their hard grooving Guadalajara Rock! It starts off on a fuzzed out, heavy and riveting tip with the thick slab of a set opener ("Tripeando"), but from there it gets diversely rocking. There' some spindly, psych blues acoustic ... read more CD

France Gall won the Eurovision song contest with the title track of this one – and for good reason too, given that the tune is totally groovy!

RCA/Beatball (Korea), 1969. New Copy ... $22.99
That dude holding the raven on the cover looks pretty nervous – and for good reason, too – as the Glass Prism here take a lot of chances with their debut album! As you might guess from the title, the words to the tunes here were all penned by Edgar Allen Poe – older poetry from ... read more CD
Golden Dawn Arkestra, 2018. New Copy ... $8.99
An interesting change from this offbeat spiritual ensemble – a set that's still every bit as cosmic before, but in a way that's maybe more psych-oriented and fuzzy at times – then mixed with some deeper funk elements at other points!
