Fantastic early work from The Fall – some key singles issued by the Rough Trade label as 45s during the first few years of the group – already a great showcase for the mad wit of Mark E Smith! While we love the albums from this time, these singles are maybe the songs we go back to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
King/Sundazed, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99 15.99
A fantastic set of music from the legendary Charlie Feathers – a rockabilly giant who walked the same Tennessee scene as Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis – but one who was never able to hit the heights! Here, Feathers is at the height of his powers – coming off of seminal ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
El/Cherry Red (UK), 1989. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
The final album in the initial run of genius from Felt – a set that marks a short step from Creation Records over to El at Cherry Red – where they receive some nicely expanded handling on the production! Adrian Borland produced, and the tunefulness of the songs really comes to the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Creation/Cherry Red (UK), 1988. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $18.99
Pure genius from a group who kept on growing strongly over the relatively short span of their career – maybe under-sung heroes at the time of their release, at least on this side of the Atlantic – but one of the few truly classic groups we can think of from the decade, at least with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Creation/Cherry Red (UK), 1987. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $18.99
A gem of a record from Felt – one that has them complicating the sound they first brought to the Creation Records label – stretching out some of the songs a bit, and working with art rock legend Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola in the production booth! The use of organ continues to be ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
GNP/Bolt-on (UK), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
A searing set of west coast psych from a very mysterious group – served up here on a record that was done as a bit of exploitation vinyl at the time, but which has gone on to achieve legendary status over the years! The set's got a raw, ragged energy right from the start – every bit as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Great heavy pressing, in a tip-on cover – with bonus liner notes!)
Golden Pavilion (Portugal), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99
An insane little record that sounds even wilder than you might guess from the cover – and given that image, that's really saying a lot! The set's kind of a freeform mix of psychedelic rock and sex sounds – recorded in a single day in a Dutch studio with the help of some local ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Finders Keepers (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A dark little soundtrack that we'd pitch right up there with The Wicker Man or Rosemary's Baby – and one with a sound that's somewhere in between those two classics! The work was penned for an obscure early 70s film in the Czech new wave – and features music that's sometimes a bit ... (Soundtracks, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Kama Sutra/Culture Factory, 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 24.98
One of the finest moments ever from The Flamin Groovies – a set that's awash in 50s rock and roll influences, yet filtered through the heady late 60s San Francisco scene – making for a mix that's completely compelling throughout, and unlike anything else we can think of! The Groovies ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited RSD Vinyl Club pressing – on opaque bright pink colored vinyl!)
Restless/WEA, 1990. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99 21.98
An important pre-fame record from Flaming Lips – a set when all the right pieces were in place, but still finding the right way to come together – a bit like the way that most important UK psych bands of the 60s sounded in 1966! By that, we mean that there's equal parts garage and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1989. New Copy ... $13.99 21.98
A seriously pivotal chapter in Flaming Lips history – which is to say a pivotal chapter psychelic rock at the end of the 20th century given how far The Flaming Lips influences reach – demo tracks recorded for the In A Priest Driven Ambulance LP! LP, Vinyl record album

Pharaway Sounds (Spain), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $25.99
A very cool group that's every bit as groovy as their look on the cover – and who make a sound that's way better than you'd expect from a bunch of New Zealanders holding instruments from Indian music! The core of the group is Kevin Clark and Dave Parsons – who play together here on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Thrill Jockey, 2019. New Copy ... $11.99 20.99
Avant percussion heroes Greg Fox and Kid Millions team up as the Fox Millions Duo! Biting Through is bigger sounding than a lot of the experimental instrumental or post-post rock out there, with a driving drum sound and thick layers of synth in both the heavier and more frenetic moments, and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition white vinyl pressing!)
Wah Wah (Spain), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99
A totally weird solo project from Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh – and a set that's very much in keeping with the spirit of the title!

(Very cool reissue – with book and poster!)
Mental Experience (Spain), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99
Wonderfully free-wheeling sounds from this hip German trio – maybe not one of the biggest groups of the Krautrock generation, but one who definitely earn their name with the music on this album! The set's got a long-spun approach to the tunes, which are all quite long – layers of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
AZ/Tapete (Germany), 1969. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $44.99
Genius work by a singer-songwriter you've never heard of – a beautiful little album recorded in late 60s Paris, but done with English language lyrics!

Finders Keepers (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $24.99
A biker soundtrack to end all biker soundtracks – one that shares plenty of elements with better-known entries in the genre, but which also has some really wild and offbeat moments! As with most of the short-lived motorcycle soundtrack era, the vibe here is much more rock than other film ... (Soundtracks, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bunker/Now Again, 1972. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $24.99 27.98
One of the darkest albums of the Krautrock scene in the 70s – an album that was actually recorded in a WWII-era bunker – where the duo were free to open up their instruments, jam for a very long time, and play with the sorts of effects and techniques you might know from bigger groups of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ghost Funk Orchestra —
Song For Paul (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Karma Chief/Colemine, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99
A set that's definitely funky, but which maybe has a lot more going on as well – richer production moments that move between ambitious soundscapes and fuzzier freakouts – but all without losing the groove at the core!

HoZac, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Raw proto punk inspired savagery from the late 70s Detroit underground! Matt Gimmick's Detroit Renaissance '79 is the quintessential slice of the kind of unorthodox punk rock that Detroit did different and better than any other scene – as pummeling and charged as any of the simpler 4 chord ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Fantasy/Craft, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 49.99
Maybe one of the coolest albums of poetry ever recorded – a set that features a young, pre-hippie Allen Ginsberg – delivering his epic poem Howel, plus some other key works too.

Purple/Cherry Red (UK), 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $42.99

International Artists, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
One of the grooviest albums on the legendary International Artists label – a set that's as psychedelic and experimental as most of the others in the imprint, but also pretty darn tuneful as well!

Racket/MG Art (Germany), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Some of the most beautiful sounds ever crafted from Manuel Gottsching – work that's a lot more tuneful and fluid than some of his material with Ash Ra Tempel – and which maybe has more of an 80s vibe overall! That's not to say that Gottsching's gone in for electro pop – just that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 21.99
An early Warner Brothers classic from the Grateful Dead – a set that has them stretching out in maybe a more collaborative way than usual – using a few key guests to expand their freewheeling sound! Titles include "Cosmic Charlie", "China Cat Sunflower", "Doin ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
