Great girl garage work from the 60s – a good deal of which is previously unreleased, and combined here with a few rare singles to make the first-ever album from The Debutantes! These guys are as great as they look on the cover – a no-nonsense combo that features two guitars, bass, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Y- Y- Y- Y- Y- Y- Y-eah, this is one of best art rock albums of all time – the Eno produced full length debut of Devo – the caustic, sarcastic and fun soundtrack to society's devolution!

Luaka Bop, 2018. New Copy ... $13.99 20.99
You've heard Domenico before as part of the groundbreaking +2 trio with Kassin and Moreno Veloso – but this is only the second time the singer has worked on his own, and the first that he's given us his full name on the cover!

Epic/Sundazed, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
Easily one of the headiest Donovan albums of the 60s – a record that moves past the simple psychedelic pop of earlier hits, and into a range of mind-expanding themes and styles! There's a cerebral quality here that seems to take hold even on the simpler, catchier tunes – a deeply ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(On colored vinyl! Mono, too!)
Epic/Sundazed, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
Easily one of Donovan's most successful albums – but also a brilliant blend of folk and jazz that forged a bold new sound in the 60s – here in the original mono mix!

Roger Doyle —
Oizzo No ... LP Cacophonic (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $26.99
Very cool work from the Irish avant garde of the early 70s – served up here by a key member of what must have been a pretty small scene! Roger Doyle is a drummer, with experience in jazz – but here, he's working in this huge variety of experimental sounds – leading a Moondog-like ... (Out Sound, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
On Records, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Early 70s psych folk from DR Hooker – looking pretty biblical in the cover photo – with a spiritual tilt to some of the lyrics, but in a pretty tripped out way – and a wild mix of styles, from easygoing, approachable folk pop, to untamed, fuzzed out psychedelia! We were expecting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Mac really steps out on this one – pushing past his usual hip studio take on New Orleans soul, to a more expansive style that includes performances by a host of surprise guests like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, PP Arnold, Graham Bond, and Doris Troy. That loping, trippy groove of John's is ... (Soul, Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dream —
Get Dreamy ... LP Polydor/Round 2 (Norway), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 34.99
A totally wonderful bit of psychedelia from the late 60s scene in Norway – and the only album ever from a group that featured a young Terje Rypdal on guitar! Terje's much better known for his atmospheric jazz work in the 70s – but at this point in his career, he had a wonderful touch ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Albert/BMG (Australia), Late 60s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $25.99 26.99
A mighty hefty collection of work from Australia's wonderful Easybeats – a group so great, they almost challenged the British Invasion of the 60s from their position in the Pacific! The set's got plenty of classics from the group, but also features a number of more obscure cuts too – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brian Eno —
Ambient 1 – Music For Airports (180 gram pressing) ... LP EG/Astralwerks, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A landmark moment – both for Brian Eno, and for experimental music in general! Although Eno began his solo run with some searing, guitar-heavy records that were even wilder than his early work with Roxy Music – he also began experimenting with more sensitive aspects of sound on albums ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brian Eno —
Ambient 4 – On Land (180 gram pressing) ... LP EG/Astralwerks, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Brian Eno leaves the Airports, and moves On Land – but still keeps things pretty much in the spare sound of the Ambient series!

Obscure/Astralwerks, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A modern minimalist watershed – and maybe one of the first indications that Brian Eno was moving onto higher ideas in his music!

Brian Eno —
Music For Films ... LP EG/Astralwerks, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A compilation LP of sorts – though at the time of its release most of this material had not been heard in this form! The album's more or less part of the "Ambient" series Eno had started that year with Music For Airports – and it's presented with similarly simple, elegant ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1983. New Copy ... $26.99
Funky, dubby, and pretty post-punky – a compelling batch of instrumental tracks from Japan's EP 4 – an early 80s combo with a sound that's halfway between the Factory Records grooves of A Certain Ratio, and some of the more upbeat moments from the New York No Wave scene! The set's got ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Lingua Franca ... CD 15.99
Warner, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 21.98
A posthumous collection of work from The Faces – a set of some of their best material from the early 70s, served up as a swan song to the great group who was bound to implode at some point in their career!

(Rocktober 2018 pressing. Brick & mortar store exclusive – limited edition on clear vinyl!)
Beggars Banquet, 1988. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 25.98
A big crossover moment for The Fall – a set of songs that were originally created for a ballet, but which also stand as some of the group's catchiest work to date! The vocals of Mark E Smith are loud and proud on all numbers – and often have the sharply rhythmic element the group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(30th Anniversary orange colored vinyl pressing!)
Rough Trade/Superior Viaduct, Early 80s. New Copy ... $19.99
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
Superior Viaduct, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
An early Fall live album and a fiery set that captures the coy, cynical genius of Mark E Smith and prime era of the band it's shambling best! At this early point, the Fall's studio recordings were pretty much live, too, but the presence of an audience makes all the difference – a tension and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Virgin/Superior Viaduct, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99
Don't let the "tapes" in the title fool you – as the album's not really some leftover material, and instead stands proudly as the third full record from Germany's legendary Faust! Even on a scene that was filled with progressive, experimental heavyweights, Faust could still stand ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Creation/Cherry Red (UK), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99
The first full album that Felt cut for Creation Records – and a tremendous selection of timeless pop tunes that shows that their move to the label was the best thing they ever did!

El/Cherry Red (UK), 1989. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99
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)... $26.99
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)... Just Sold Out!
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
Mushroom/Antarctica Starts Here, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 24.98
A beautifully fragile record cut by UK folkie Simon Finn – a singer with an incredibly distinct voice, recording here in an equally distinct musical setting! Finn's guitar and percussion are set in a trio with tabla, percussion, and dulcimer from Paul Burwell – and a lot of other ... 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
Restless/WEA, Late 80s. New Copy 2LP ... $29.99 31.98
