Rolled Gold (gold vinyl pressing) ... LP Guerssen (Spain), Late 60s. New Copy ... $32.99 36.99
Really fantastic sounds from The Action – a set that maybe has them stepping a bit from mod to psych, but still with all the catchier elements of their earlier work! There's a very open-minded set of production going on here – a bit like the shift that Small Faces took with Ogden's Nut ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Philips/Cosmic Rock, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.99
Dreamy instrumental work by this one-off combo – a group that includes members of Bill Plummer's Cosmic Brotherhood and Gabor Szabo's late 60s band – all coming together with styles that are even more exotic than those ensembles! The style here is often quite laidback – a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Paramount/Bonfire, 1970. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 38.99
A British rock combo, but one with a distinctly jazzy feel – one that's often quite funky at times too! The core instrumentation is heavy on keyboards and guitar, set over some tightly rhythm bass and drums – often moving with some hip jazzy changes in the mix, and a nice sense of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

If the "figures" in the title here sounds a bit familiar, it's because Figures was a great return to form for the legendary Aksak Maboul – a record that showed that their unusual mix of sounds and styles was alive and well into the 21st Century – used here as a platform for ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capricorn/Elemental (Spain), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 30.99
The second album from the Allman Brothers, and maybe the one where their sound really comes together – an incredibly chromatic approach to long-spun work on guitar – almost influenced by jazz at times, and definitely very different than some of the more jamming work of the scenes on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ohr (Germany), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 29.99
The last album from the first version of Amon Duul – a set that's very early in the Krautrock generation, and also has a standard-setting quality that makes it one of the best from the time!

Munster (Spain), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 33.99
Ana and Jaime may look like post-punk artists on the front cover, but they've got a style here that's perfect for the 1969 date of the recording – a really cool mode that mixes mainstream Latin pop with some killer psychedelic touches – served up with lots of echo in the production, ...

Warner/Nonesuch, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 21.99
One of the greatest albums to come from the New York underground of the early 80s – even if it was a relatively big "hit" on a major label!

Jugoton (Croatia), 1994. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 26.99
A really unique album from Yugoslavian group Angel's Breath – one recorded in Brazil, which might come as no surprise, given that one of the members of the duo is Mitar Subotic Suba – who you'll also know from his groundbreaking album Sao Paulo Confessions!

MGM/Abkco, 1966. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 29.99
A record that has The Animals at the crossroads – working without the piano and organ of Alan Price, but with an even more rising sense of power from Eric Burdon – who's really coming into his own as a singer, and turning out to be a surprisingly great songwriter too! The group still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

MGM/Abkco, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 29.99
Not a live recording from the mighty Animals, but a set that was issued during a year when the group were taking the American stages by storm – put together from extra material that was only issued on their UK debut album, plus UK Animal Tracks material, and a few singles too!

Disques Du Crepuscule/Numero, 1986. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 36.99

Vam (Mexico), 1976. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $11.99
A great mid 70s record by Antorcha – whose late 60s records as Las Antorchas were a great mix of styles – from beat, to garage, mod and psych – and by this point in the mid 70s, shortened their name and honed their groove into heavier, moodier style that's even better!

Warner/Lawson (Japan), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 49.99
There's a cinematic look to the cover of this set by singer Tomoko Aran – and there's almost a cinematic presentation to the music too – but all in the best sort of 80s style you might hope for at the time!

Tomoko Aran sound a fair bit jazzier here at points than some of her other 80s work on the Japanese scene – but she also follows up those moments with more than enough of the catchy rockish tunes that made her such a big star at the time!

Golden Pavilion (Portugal), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 18.99
A sweet set of keyboard-heavy tracks – a relatively obscure Italian sound library set from the start of the 80s, and one that's got a stark sound that's very much in the spirit of its cover! The tunes are mighty lean – often keyboards with just a bit of rhythm – a setup that's ... (Sound Library, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Soul Bank (UK), Late 60s. New Copy 5LP ... $93.99 99.99
Four incredible albums from Hammond legend Brian Auger – a key link between jazz and the headier sounds of the UK scene at the end of the 60s!

Warner/Rhino, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 22.99
They may look goofy on the cover, but the young B-52s are incredible here – working with this spare sense of power that almost makes us think that we didn't need most of what happened in rock and roll during the 70s – given the way these guys can distill a mood or moment down to just a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lion, Mid 70s. New Copy ... $27.99 29.99

Verve/Long Hair (France), 1970. New Copy ... $29.99 34.99
Fantastic solo work from Peter Bardens – an artist who'd later gain fame as the lead singer of Camel, but who's even more fantastic here on his own – working in a trippy blend of modes that's equally balanced between prog and psych!

Harvest/Survival Research (Australia), 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A legendary set from the glory days of Harvest Records – and a set that's every bit as mindblowing as some of the work by the biggest artists on the label, although much more obscure!

Brother/Capitol, 1972. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $45.99 48.99
Two great Beach Boys albums from the early 70s – plus the bonus ep of material from Holland!

Be warned – this might not be the Beastie Boys you know and love, because this special set has the trio returning to their punk rock roots – getting some help from Awol, and blasting through tracks that are as loud and fast as the work on their early Polly Wog Stew EP!

Apple, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 30.99

Really wonderful work from one of our favorite groups on late 60s Warner Brothers – the mighty Beau Brummels, a group who were already years ahead of their time, and who also evolved strongly during the short span of time covered on this album!

Everland (Austria), 1989. New Copy ... $24.99 29.99
A wonderfully weird little record – one that has Kola Beldy bringing back ancient chants from the Mongolian plains – then setting them to instrumentation that's a bit contemporary, but usually in some very offbeat ways!

A gem of a record from the New York scene in the mid 90s – a tight statement by a group who seem to have learned all of the lessons of the Sonic Youth generation, picked up some of the fuzz of Spacemen 3, yet manage to come across with a much more punk-styled quality overall!

One of our favorite projects from the early years of Chris & Cosey – music done for a video release, but still very much like their own studio records of the time – yet with less vocals, and more sonic elements in the mix – so that the whole thing feels like a rare nugget from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brain/Bureau B (Germany), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $30.99 34.99
Heady work from Cluster – a record that really helped set the tone for a whole generation of German experimentation! The sound here is incredibly dense – guitar and keyboard parts that are processed heavily, looped back on themselves, and sometimes supported by a bit of electronics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(50th anniversary pressing – hand-numbered limited edition of 1000 copies – on 180 gram vinyl!)
Black Truffle (Austria), 2001. New Copy ... $30.99 34.99
A completely mesmerizing performance from these three avant giants – all working in longform territory that owes a lot to Tony Conrad's sense of sound – but at a level that really draws plenty from the contributions of all three players! Jim O'Rourke handles harmonium, cranking the ... (Out Sound, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lysergic Sound, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 20.99
One of those super-rare albums that never went beyond the stage of being a demo, yet which has gone on to be the stuff of legend over the years – maybe in part because it was later discovered to be an obscure side project by the legendary Wrecking Crew of LA 60s studio fame! The approach ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition pressing.)
Die Kosmischen Kuriere (Germany), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
A totally wonderful little record – one that really lives up to the sci-fi party promised in its title – but with all the German 70s elements you'd guess from the cover! The quintet here is a supergroup of Krautrock giants – a lineup that includes Manuel Gottsching on guitar, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Sci Fi Party - Unser Flug Durch Die Kosmiche Musik ... CD 14.99
Columbia/Holy Basil (Italy), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 30.99
A wonderful self-titled set from Cosmos Factory – a Japanese prog group from the early 70s, and one who might have gotten lost in the racks a bit – given that their name and debut title are the same as an album by Creedence Clearwater Revival! Yet the sound here is nothing like CCR ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Aphrodita/Altercat (Germany), 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99
Fantastic fusion from 70s Spain – a set that's maybe equal part jazz and rock – although very different than some of the more jamming prog of the time! Instead, these guys have a great sense of space – so that the guitar of Napi Carratala is used judiciously, and really gives way ... (Jazz, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Superior Viaduct, Late 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 22.99
A sonic juggernaut from Crime – and a set that marks a much-needed addition to their too-few records from the late 70s! Crime were slightly slept-on at the time, but have gone on to get the dues they greatly deserve – a razor-sharp band whose sound is as striking as their use of police ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Amaret/Sundazed, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 26.99
The second album from Crow, and one of those records that should have stood shoulder to shoulder with some of the bigger albums of the time – as these guys have the same blend of blues-inspired hard rock as some of their key contemporaries, while also come cross with an individual flavor that' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Amaret/Sundazed, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 26.99
The last album that Crow would ever give the world, and a great capper to their short by strong run of records in the early 70s! Like so many of the harder-edged American rock groups of the time, these guys have moved completely past the blues that inspired their initial sounds – working out ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Beggars Banquet, 1985. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
The record that really pushed The Cult into the big time – and a set that helped merge mainstream UK styles with some of the darker currents of the underground – all at a level that forever paved the way for goth generations to come! And yes, the group maybe had their excesses in later ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cure —
Wish (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fiction/Elektra, 1992. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $39.99 40.98
Maybe the biggest album ever from The Cure – a set that marked a high moment in maybe the second chapter of their career – at a time when they'd gone from being a cult underground band to becoming a surprisingly durable group in the long run! That darker energy of Robert Smith's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Numero, Mid 90s. New Copy 3LP ... $44.99 57.99
A big box set that brings together the short legacy of Current – the group's one album, two EP releases, and even 7" singles and compilation cuts too – all done up in loving Numero group style!

EOD/Propeller, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
Current Rage were one of the more obscure groups to come out of the Athens, GA scene in the early 80s – but they've also got all the instantly creative energy that made that short-lived world of music every bit as exciting as some of the best New York sounds at the time! There's a nicely ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fantasy/Craft, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A mindblowing debut from Cybotron – one of the most unusual groups to ever hail from Detroit – and that's saying a hell of a lot, given the musical legacy of the city! Cybotron have a sound that's starkly electronic, and a huge influence on later electro, hip hop, techno, and house ... (Soul, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Trading Places (UK), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
A self-titled set from Dando Shaft, but actually the group's second album – a set that's as noteworthy for the addition of female singer Polly Bolton as it is for the continued genius of Martin Jenkins! There's a bit more stripped-down style here than the group's first record – almost ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Decca/Trading Places (UK), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
The incredible debut of Dando Shaft, and a key early moment of brilliance for Martin Jenkins – who not only handles lead vocals here, but also arranged the whole record with a wonderfully moody vibe! There's echoes here of some of the more experimental folk-influenced work of the late 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Trading Places (UK), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
Totally wonderful work from one of the most striking groups of the UK acid folk generation – a wonderful combination of acoustic and electric elements, all delivered with a nicely sinister edge! Singer Martin Jenkins is still in the mix here – and his voice has that wonderful edge we ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Red River, Late 90s/Early 2000s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99 29.99
A decade's worth of solo recordings from the second greatest member of The Kinks – with titles that include "Suzannah's Still Alive", "This Man He Weeps Tonight", "God In My Brain", "When The Wind Blows", "Rock Me Rock You", "Hold My ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Legere (France), 2022. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99
A sweet little group with a real 70s Cali vibe – very much in the spirit of the cover, with kind of a blue-eyed soul approach to jazzy AOR! The instrumentation is great – plenty of Fender Rhodes and other keyboards – providing this warm glow for the lead vocals of the group's two ... (Neo Soul, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mississippi, 1988. New Copy (reissue)... $15.99
Late 80s garage-psych-punk from Dead Moon – their first album ever and a record that fuses decades of trashy rock into a unique frenzy that's beloved to the privileged and relative few who know it and love it! It's important to consider what underground music sounded like in the late 80s in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mississippi, 1991. New Copy (reissue)... $12.99 18.99
Some of the rawest sounds coming out of the Portland scene of the early 90s – served up in a solid way that avoids most of the pitfalls of their contemporaries on the scene! Dead Moon have all the wild energy of other Northwest groups of the time, but hone things down to a core essence that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

... LP, Vinyl record album
Ryko/Superior Viaduct, 1970s. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 24.98
Early art punk genius from Devo – the amazing underground material from the pre-WB years – when they were still Ohio college students! Hardcore Volume 1 features 4 track recordings made in the mid 70s, including some early versions of tracks they'd re-recorded later for their first ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1982. New Copy ... $16.99 25.99
Hey Spud boy! You need this record. Definitely underrated in the grand scheme, Oh No! finds the boys rocking a much more straightforward, nerdy computer funk sound. It sort of takes a page from the 80s Kraftwerk playbook with the grid-patterned 80s computer tomfoolery, albeit with a far more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited picture disc edition!)
Korova/Lantern (Italy), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 36.99
A near-lost set from the 80s, but one that we'd almost put right up there next to some of our favorite work by artists like Sade or Working Week – as the record shares a similar blend of jazz, soul, and catchy pop! Linda Di Franco sings in English, but with a nicely accented style – in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sire/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $35.99 38.99
DMZ's badass self-titled set for Sire from '78 – buzzsaw guitars, driving rhythms, manic vocals and eerie organs – an incredible combination of 60s garage inspiration and ferocious punk-era urgency! DMZ migh have been weird fit at a Sire label that at the time was struggling to get ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ned Doheny —
Hard Candy ... LP Asylum/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
A seminal set from Ned Doheny – a lasting bit of California cool from the 70s, and a record that's every bit as refreshing as its image on the cover! The sound is tight, but never too slick – well-crafted songwriting with equally well-crafted production and studio execution – but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Doors —
LA Woman (180 gram pressing) ... LP Elektra, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.98
Maybe one of our favorite Doors records of all time – if only for the long Fender Rhodes solo by Ray Manzarek on the album's final track, "Riders On The Storm"! Yet the whole album is pretty darn great, too – the last to feature Jim Morrison, who would leave the planet ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original 1971 stereo mix remastered on heavyweight vinyl – in a cool die-cut sleeve with yellow see-through image, just like the firs tpressing!)
BTF (Italy), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
The only album ever issued in by Italian prog group Duello Madre – a rock combo, but one who have plenty of jazz-based elements in the mix – and occasionally a lot more funk than you'd hear from a similar group of their nature! The lineup boasts some great sax and flute work from Pippo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
