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!

A completely obscure gem from the Venezuelan scene of the 70s – not Latin music at all, but instead a wicked bit of jazzy prog played by a group who are totally tight, and really take off right from the start!

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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
A British rock combo, but one with a distinctly jazzy feel – one that's often quite funky at times too!

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!

$29.9934.99
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
Domenico (Domenico Lancellotti) —
Sramba ... LP Mais Um Discos (UK), 2023. New Copy ...
$22.9925.99
One of the darkest albums we've ever heard from Domenico – very different than his collaborations with Kassin and Moreno Veloso! The sound here has a lot more electronics and distortion – not unfamiliar with other records on the Mais Um Discos label, but a bit different than some of ...

Seminal work from Bob Dylan – one of his early electric sides, and a record that moved the singer from folk stardom to an even more explosive force in the mainstream! This is the record that forever made Dylan as influential on rock music as he was on underground styles – and the whole ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

East ... LP Capitol/Life Goes On (Italy), 1972. New Copy (reissue)...
$27.9929.99
The group's name and image on the front are certainly well-placed – because the album's got some Eastern-styled instrumentation mixed in alongside more psychedelic guitars! The record's the only full set by the group – recorded by a group of Japanese exiles for Capitol in 1972, and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$25.9928.99
"Cosmoramic Rock" from East Of Eden – one of the trippiest British groups of the late 60s! The group works here in a self-professed blend of rock, free jazz, noise, world music, and avant garde classical influences – and somehow manages to make the whole thing come out with a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
East Of Eden —
Snafu ... LP Deram/Trading Places (UK), 1970. New Copy (reissue)...
$25.9928.99
The second album from East Of Eden – less cosmically-oriented than the first, but still filled with a host of really cool elements! As with their classic Mercator Projected set, the group really seems to bring in a lot of different strands for this one – and although a jazz-rock outfit ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Harvest Time ... LP Parlophone/Svart (Finland), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
$32.99
A massive harvest of sound from this fantastic Finnish group – a set recorded at the start of the 70s, and an album that set the stage for so many other Finnish hard rock giants to come! Lyrics are in English, and sung with this really great edge – one that cuts even more strongly on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
