Not surprisingly, Holger's joined by group makes Jaki Liebezeit on drums, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Virgin/Gronland (Germany), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 19.99
Holger Czukay is a long way from his roots in Can on this great mid 80s album – even though he's still got help on the record from Jaki Lebezeit and Michael Karoli from that famous group!

Trio/Gronland (Germany), 1982. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
A fantastic trio of talents – the mighty bassist and drummer from Can, joined by the suddenly-solo Jah Wobble from Public Image Limited – all in a set of grooves that brings out all the best of their talents! Given that Wobble already presents some beautifully heavy bass, Czukay ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Karma Chief/Colemine, 2019. New Copy (pic cover)... $8.99
A sweet little number with a sunny California vibe – equal parts rock and soul, with a guitar line that fades in to echo the waves of the surf – while Rudy De Anda delivers a vocal over romping drums! "Los Canarios" is slower, with plenty of echoey guitar tripping over slow ... (Funky 45's, Rock) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited green colored vinyl pressing.)
Mississippi, 1990. New Copy ... $12.99
Dead Moon's third album – bursting into the 90s with Defiance – a record that arrived when some fellow Pacific Northwest underground rockers were getting ready to be flung head first into the mainstream, but DM remained defiantly underground! Even though this third album, they were ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Kuckuck/Black Sweat (Italy), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Great early work from Deuter – a soundtrack from the start of the 70s, done in a range of modes that are different from his more meditative style of later years! The songs here are relatively short – and move between electronic numbers to those which have a more organic, partially ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yep Roc, 2018. New Copy (pic cover)... $9.99
An inspired take on the early 80s Squeeze classic "Take Me I'm Yours" by Squeeze's own songwriting team of Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook – casting it in a completely new light witha lineup that includes modern soul jazz hero Robert Glasper and ?uestlove on drums – and a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Sleeping Bag, 1981. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $18.99 20.98
An incredible full album from Dinosaur L – the legendary New York dancefloor project of Arthur Russell!

Dinosaur L (Arthur Russell) —
Go Bang! (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Sleeping Bag/Get On Down, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $8.99 9.98
A spacey disco classic! "Go Bang" is a wonderful tune – with a jaunty vocal refrain that's laid over some off-kilter keyboard rhythms infused with bass. Arthur Russell produced and Francois K mixed – and this great vinyl single features the complete cut – Part 1 on one ... (Funky 45's, Rock) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Dome/Editions Mego (Austria), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
Stunning post-Wire work from the duo of BC Gilbert and G Lewis – both members of that important punk band of the late 70s, but sounding completely different here on their first album as Dome!

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
Island, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $53.99 59.98
Godlike work from the legendary Nick Drake – and exactly the kind of record that's made him a continuing legend over the years!

Also available Five Leaves Left ... CD 4.99
Omnivore, Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $22.99 24.98
Really fantastic work from Van Duren – one of the great almost-rans in 70s pop – a singer/songwriter who emerged from the same Memphis roots as Big Star, recorded at Ardent Studios, and even worked in a band with Chris Bell – yet somehow also managed to make music that was very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Waiting – The Van Duren Story ... CD 14.99
Reprise, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99
An early moment of genius from The Electric Prunes – and exactly the kind of record that shows why they were a cut above their contemporaries, and why Warner really backed them strongly right from the start! There's a depth here that rivals some of the group's Sunset Strip contemporaries ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Beat Rocket, Mid 60s. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
Surprisingly strong work from a Bay Area group who never managed to crack the big time back in the day – then hung up their guitars at a time when most of their contemporaries were really starting to blossom! Maybe the issue was that Butch Engel & The Styx had experience going back to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ambient 1 – Music For Airports (180 gram pressing) ... LP EG/Astralwerks, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
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
EG/Astralwerks, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
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

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!

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
Takoma/4 Men With Beards, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 23.99
The landmark 1967 Takoma version of Blind Joe Death – essentially a revised version of his debut LP – and a hugely influential record!

Superior Viaduct, 1980. New Copy ... $19.99
The first great punk rock album of the 80s! The Fall are at their ragged, blurry best on Grotesque (After The Gramme), with Marc E. Smith balancing bored, barbed witticism and coy sarcasm brilliantly over the bands patented tinny trudge. As with the Fall's other great albums, it's difficult to ... 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!

King/Sundazed, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99 15.99

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!

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)... $26.99
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
Creation/Cherry Red (UK), 1988. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99

The album's not entirely jazz, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Modern Harmonic, 1967. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
