An essential early document of the Grateful Dead – a double-length collection of live material that was one of the first to give the rest of the world a chance to hear what they could provide to their ever-growing concert audiences! The tracks were mostly recorded in New York in early 1971, ... read moreCD
Includes both early and late shows. Tracks include "Good Morning Little School Girl", "Other One", "Hey Jude", "Dark Star", "St. Stephen", and "Mountains Of The Moon". CD
The first album attempt to recreate the live Dead experience! Long jams as only Jerry and crew could play them – with cuts that include "Dark Star", "The Eleven", "Feedback", "Turn On Your Love Light", and "We Bid You Goodnight". CD
The long strange trip the Grateful Dead began with Warner Bros in the late 60s culminated in this concise, pretty darn solid attempt at an early Best Of, appropriately called Skeletons In The Closet! The Dead would never be best known for their studio recordings, but this really is a good reminder ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the first giant hits by the Grateful Dead – and a record that has the group tightening things up a bit more, and stepping into some of the country-tinged territory of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers! Turns out, the move is a great one – as the songs come across with a real ... read moreCD
Includes a double 180 gram LP of the Grauzone album, a live concert from 1980 in Bern, Switzerland, an 80 page fanzine, and a replica concert poster! LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed with hype sticker, but with large holes in the shrink.)
A really fantastic solo album from guitar genius Peter Green – recorded right after he'd departed Fleetwood Mac, the band he helped found – and done in a freewheeling trippy style that's unlike anything recorded by that other group! Green's guitar is still unbelievably strong, but cast ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(UK pressing, RSLP 9006, in a fully laminated cover, with some gloss separation at spine and on the corner bend up top. Vinyl has a pressing flaw that makes a short click during "Bottoms Up", but the rest is great!)

Green Day —
Dookie ... CD Reprise, 1994. Used ...
$1.99
Bratty Bay Area pop punks Green Day hit the bigtime – paving the way for FAR too many lesser acts to hit paydirt, sure, but you can't get too mad at Billie Joe, Mike and Tre for that when this one is still such a blast decades later! Nowhere near as lowbrow as the title or cover art would ... read moreCD
Fantastic keyboards from Dave Greenslade – a UK progger we'd have to put right up there with Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson for his skills on the keys! And at some level, on this album Dave hews closer to the core sound of the best prog years than Wakeman or Emerson might have been doing in ... read moreCD
A record that's maybe as famous for its cover art, done by comic legend Neal Adams, as it is for the music of The Groundhogs – who are really moving away here from the more blues-based work of their roots! The great Tony McPhee is on vocals and guitar, and also uses mellotron and harmonium ... read moreCD
(Comes with a cool bonus fold-out of the comic artwork included with the original album!)
Maybe the best book so far in the recent run of work from musician/author David Grubbs – a volume that follows a similar pattern to the previous longform works The Voice In The Headphones and Now That The Audience Is Assembled – but one that has a very different vibe overall!

Jack Grunsky's a Canadian singer, as you might guess from the title – but he works here with help on arrangements and production from British great Alexis Korner – who, as with his own recordings, helps Jack find a special sort of space that's nicely hard to define!

A heck of a charmer from Haircut 100 – one of a handful of great UK albums from the early 80s that mixed post-punk energy with warmer touches from jazz and Latin – all in a blend that's completely wonderful overall!

What can we say?

A seminal bit of Japanese rock from the early 70s – performed by a group that included Harumi Hosono, and who has a style that borrows from the best of the LA scene of the late 60s!

(Part of the "Golden Era Of Rock – 1965 to 1975" series!)
Tim Hardin's last album for Verve – and a record that has a bit of a different vibe than his previous three sets!

One of Emmylou Harris's best loved albums, and for good reason – it's a major departure from the some of the more straightforward, if neo classic country of her late 80s and earlier 90s work, taking on a more atmospheric sound with producer Daniel Lanois. Lanois deserves credit for inspiring ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
