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! In truth, Wire always had something going on that was different than most – especially on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

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!

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)... Just Sold Out!
Godlike work from the legendary Nick Drake – and exactly the kind of record that's made him a continuing legend over the years! The style is completely its own – not really folk or rock, but not really jazz either – yet served up with plenty of jazzy phrasing that's helped keep ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Five Leaves Left ... CD 6.99
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
Albert/BMG (Australia), Late 60s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99 26.99

Electric Prunes —
I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP 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
Finders Keepers (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy 2 LPs ... $22.99
A beautifully trippy duo who work here mostly with electronics – but who use the instruments in very organic ways that are almost acoustic! There's an earthy, almost hippieish quality to the sounds on the set – music that belies the pair's placement in the pre-New Age instrumental ... (Sound Library, Rock) 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
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
A modern minimalist watershed – and maybe one of the first indications that Brian Eno was moving onto higher ideas in his music!

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

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!

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
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!

El/Cherry Red (UK), 1989. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99

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 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 LP, Vinyl record album
Modern Harmonic, 1967. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
A rare second serving of material from one of the most unusual groups of the 60s – the legendary Fifty Foot Hose, a group who only issued the amazing Cauldron album back in the day – but who've gone on to have an impact on worlds of psych, electronics, and even hip hop for years to come! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Modern Harmonic, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
A massively tripped out batch of tunes – and one of THE psychedelic classics of the late 60s!

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!

Restless/WEA, 1990. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 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!
