An Italian prog classic from the New Trolls – a group who sing in English throughout, and work with a quality that makes us wonder why this set never broke big on the British or American scenes of the 70s! The record's got a very special vibe right from the start – a blend of acoustic ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(In the very cool fold-out gatefold cover! Cover has some light water damage near the bottom – hard to see on front, with some light peeling inside. But overall, this is a nice clean copy.)

The jury is sometimes out on the Mick Jagger on-screen performance in the Nicolas Roeg film Performance – but the soundtrack is something pretty separate entirely, and really says a lot more about the spirit of late 60s Warner Brothers Records in LA than it does the arthouse cinema scene in ...

The only album ever from this trippy little combo from the 60s Berkeley scene!

Groundbreaking work from Laura Nyro – exactly the kind of record that sums up the unique genius in her music!

Was there a more tragic figure in the 60s scene than Phil Ochs? Perhaps, but this is still a wonderful piece of his odd and sad career, a great portrait with his unrelenting political stance still in place, though not as raw as some of his other LPs.

Insane grooves from arranger Mustafa Ozkent – an artist who was to Turkey what Lalo Schifrin was to the US in the 70s!
