Wah Wah (Spain), 1976. New Copy ... $29.99
The last album from the legendary early run of Agitation Free – and a set that definitely shows the group at the top of their game!

Warren/Wah Wah (Spain), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
One of the more obscure outings from the British underground folk scene at the start of the 70s – a set that's way way different than contemporary work on the bigger labels, and which sounds as if it was conceived and recorded a fair bit away from the mainstream! The instrumentation is a mix ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Big Science (red vinyl pressing) ... LP Warner/Nonesuch, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 20.99
One of the greatest albums to come from the New York underground of the early 80s – even if it was a relatively big "hit" on a major label!

Groundbreaking improvisations from the duo of Paul and Limpe Fuchs – working here at the Days Of Free Music Festival in 1977, on a host of unusual instruments of their own creation!

Somerset/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
Freaky fuzzy guitars from the great Jerry Cole – working here under the name of The Animated Egg – not a real group, but a one-off studio project – yet one that is filled with plenty of great guitar, and some surprising rock funk grooves!

Golden Pavilion (Portugal), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A sweet set of keyboard-heavy tracks – a relatively obscure Italian sound library set from the start of the 80s, and one that's got a stark sound that's very much in the spirit of its cover!

Satoshi Ashikawa —
Still Way (Wave Notation 2) ... LP WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1982. New Copy ... $26.99

Satoshi Ashikawa creates sounds in ways that resonate ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Sacred Bones, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 22.98
One of the spookiest albums we've ever heard from moog maestro Mort Garson – way darker and more complex than his Wozzard Of Id or moogy horoscope projects – with a feel that's much more like his legendary Black Mass album! Like that one, there's a fair current of supernatural running ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

B-52s —
B-52s (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Warner/Rhino, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 23.98
A hell of a debut from The B-52s – and a record that's become surprisingly timeless over the years, despite a retro-styled approach by the group!

Gearbox (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $13.99
Rare live work from Back Door – a Brit trio with plenty of connections to the blues rock scene of the time, but one who has a fair bit of jazzy undertones too!

Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99
A sweet bit of soulful rock from the end of the 60s – part pop psychedelia, part small combo grooving, with some jaunty instrumentation and nice use of organ. "Little Green Bag" is a bona-fide oldies classic – and there's plenty of other nice tracks on the album with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Thumb/Traffic, 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $19.99 24.98
One of the wildest albums ever from the great Robbie Basho – as you might guess from the cover!

Autumn/Trading Places (UK), 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
The first full album from The Beau Brummels – an early Autumn Records effort before their headier days at Warner – cut with a style that could well make the group a key force to stop the British Invasion of the 60s!

And The Waters Opened ... LP Vertigo/Wah Wah (Spain), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the weirdest, wildest records ever issued on the Vertigo label in the 70s – and that's saying a lot, given the reputation of the legendary imprint!

4AD, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99 27.99
There's no Bing, there's no Ruth – just a trio headed by composer David Moore, who plays these fantastic lines on Farfisa organ alongside the clarinet of Jeremy Viner and bass of Jeff Ratner!

2019. New Copy ... $6.99
A charming, joyous batch of tunes from Bossa IV – not really the bossa-sounding project you might assume from the name and from the fact Dusty Groove is stocking it, but a timeless and melodic batch of indie rock we'd put up there some of of the best of out there.

Parlophone, 1974. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $21.99

Parlophone, 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $21.99 23.98

A brilliant soul album! That's right, we said SOUL album!

Pye/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 26.98
Really beautiful work from the young Donovan – still yet to become the trippy popster that most folks know – but still pretty amazing here!

Rural/Modern Harmonic, Early 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $35.99 37.99
A fantastic little surf soundtrack record – and one that's very different than both the guitar instrumental and jazz-based albums that showed up earlier in the genre!

Cool Canadian vocals from Dwight Druick – a singer who works in French with a very soulful sound overall!

Columbia/Sundazed, 1962. New Copy ... $26.99 28.98
Sure, the young Bob Dylan might look a bit hokey on the cover – but he's already out there way ahead of the pack – and starting to blow away any of the less interesting pop folkies who'd been crowding into the Greenwich Village scene of the early 60s! There's a difference here right ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bob Dylan ... CD 3.99
Columbia/Sundazed, 1968. New Copy ... $26.99 28.98
A pivotal album for Bob Dylan – a record that continues the Nashville experiment of Blonde On Blonde, but which compresses it a bit more – almost like he's re-folding the electric energy back into the darkness of the spare sound of Times They Are A-Changin!

All Saints, 1990. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A surprisingly strong record from an equally surprising duo – both artists who had given the world some real moments of genius in the 70s, then maybe lost their way a bit in the following decade – only to strip things back to a basic appeal here! For Eno, the record is a real return to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ex/Superior Viaduct, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 24.98
An agitprop masterpiece from The Ex – served up at a time when these guys were moving sharp, short, and pretty darn fast – almost acting like the Dutch equivalent of Crass in both energy and spirit!

Polydor/Wah Wah (Spain), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $32.99
The second and final album from New Zealand's Farmyard – a record that continues some of the jazzy spirit of their debut, but which also goes into territory that's a bit more rough and raw too!

Deram/4 Men With Beards, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 21.98
A beautiful early record from singer Bill Fay – recorded in a baroque brilliance that rivals the late 60s work of Scott Walker!

Etats-Unis/Superior Viaduct, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99

Monster Melodies (France), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $33.99
One of the most obscure recordings by this amazing duo – singers Brigitte Fontaine and Areski, who you might know best from their work on the legendary Saravah Records at the start of the 70s!

Polydor/Universal (Japan), 1970. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $52.99
