Heavy fuzzed out psychedelia from the late 60s Twin Cities scene – the wild and hard charging Emerge from The Litter – with a heft that would be just as right at home in Detroit at the time as it was in Minneapolis! A lot of that has to due to with the heft – the drums pound ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing. Cover has a tiny cutout hole, faint ring wear, mild corner bump, but looks nice overall.)
The Little Bits are little kids, but don't hold that against them – as there's an intensity to this record that feels much more like some Texas psych of the time, and which hardly fits the sweeter image of the group on the cover! The quartet only issued one single back in the 60s – but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An expanded version of Little Richard's one album for Okeh Records! The album's got a strong mix of soul and R&B – with Richard still working at the height of his powers from earlier years, yet also picking up some nice influences from 60s soul to hip his sound up a bit. The funk of ... (Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The complete recordings of The Living Daylights – a group who would have been huge, had their big hit not been stolen away from them and served up in a better-circulated version by The Grass Roots! That hit is the title of the set – "Let's Live For Today" – a killer cut ... read moreCD
A sweet little two-fer – featuring 2 of the best albums from Loggins & Messina! Full Sail is a great mix of sophisticated pop and lighter, more tropical numbers – and a record that's got a special place in our heart, thanks to the classic tune "Pathway To Glory" – ... read moreCD
The genius of 60s pop is hardly summed up better by anyone else than Claudine Longet! This dreamy female singer cut a handful of excellent late 60s albums for A&M – and this gem from 1967 is one of her best! The set's arranged by Nick DeCaro, and produced by Tommy LiPuma – all in ...

(Tan label stereo pressing. Cover has a spot of sticker residue, but is great overall.)
Weird and wild sounds from Screaming Lord Sutch – and a set that has as many "heavy friends" at play as his better-known previous album for Cotillion! As with that set, the vibe here is an odd mix of older beat group styles from mid 60s London, but filtered through a generation ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has light wear and is slightly wavy at the top left corner.)
A mindblowing bit of psych from the late 60s – and a record that has way more to offer than just the usual fuzzy guitar, thanks to key use of moog, theremin, and tape tricks! There's a really freaky feel to the record from the start – a quality that's hipper than most of the ... read moreCD
What can we say? This is one of the greatest albums of all time! The record's got a sound that's completely unique – as crack LA garage punk rock meets Hollywood baroque production, and the result is an amazing bit of loud guitar noise backed by strings and horns, all graced by the godlike ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Early work from Bob Luman – material that's in that perfect space between hillbilly and rockabilly – served up here on early singles for Imperial Records, plus unreleased studio tracks and demos with Mac Curtis too! (Folk/Country, Rock)LP, Vinyl record album
A very hip group from the Michigan scene of the 60s – an all-female outfit, but one with a sound that's a lot more raw than the sweet girl group sounds you might be expecting! The Luv'd Ones have a great way with a bassline and sinister guitar riff – at a level that often gives these ... read moreCD
The only album ever issued by this incredible group from the French scene – a quintet of musicians who were really caught up in the powerful political energy of the post-1968 scene!

A comeback album of sorts for Lonnie Mack, recorded for Elektra with a really down-home sound that's almost verging on southern soul at points! In a way, the set's kind of a nod to the sorts of genres in rock that Mack's music first helped unlock in earlier years – done at a time when it was ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner and light wear, but looks great overall.)
A pretty nice batch of tunes designed to accompany this schlocky spy spoof film that starred Fabian and Vincent Price!

Almost a late British invasion group – and a pretty darn groovy one at that! The Magic Lanterns hail from the UK, but they've got a sound that's picked up some of the Sunshine pop and jazzier touches of the US pop scene in the late 60s – heard to great effect on the title hit "Sham ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A set of extended tracks from French powerhouse Magma, but one that burns with intensity throughout – thanks not just to the killer drum work of group members Christian Vander on drums and Jannink Top on bass (with both on keyboards as well) – but also to the presence of legendary ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Soulful sounds from 70s Chile – and a record that easily rivals some of the best acoustic work from the post-Tropicalia generation in Brazil! Manduka's got a heady sound that's very much in keeping with his image on the cover – a freer sort of approach to the music than the decade ... (Global Grooves, Rock)read moreCD
The US debut of Manfred Mann – and a heck of a record to introduce the group to the American market! These guys have a mod cooking style right from the start – still with a bit of Brit Invasion jangle in the guitar at points, but much more pointed towards the bluesy currents of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black label pressing. Cover has some surface wear and a small sticker.)

$7.9916.99
One of the more song-based sets from Phil Manzanera – a really wonderful record that definitely foregrounds all the magic he was bringing to early records by Roxy Music, but put out here in a nicely different way as well! Things are never too prog-indulgent – and Manzanera's got some ... read moreCD
Really adventurous early solo work from Ray Manzarek – bursting with creativity and a world of ideas on The Golden Scarab! Lots of oddball instrumentation, particularly in the percussion – with bongo, wood block, congtas, tuned cowbell, whistles, cabassa and quica – plus Ray ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo copy. Cover has light ring and edge wear, and bumped corners.)
Peggy March is a singer with a surprisingly varied career – an artist that most folks know for only her early little girl pop fame – but one who went onto record a very unusual range of sounds as the 60s moved on! RCA was her label, and while she never hit the heights of the charts ... read moreCD

A wonderfully warm, easygoing sort of record – one that's maybe in that same territory when a classic Brazilian singer of the 70s might hit some great mellow moments, but still work with this subtle edge that really hints at deeper currents below the surface! Instrumentation is a mix of ... (Brazil, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really cool Capitol concept record – one that seeks to parody the surf music movement, and which has some comedy bits on side one – but which also has some surprisingly cool offbeat surf numbers on side two! Jack Marshall supervised the whole thing, but we're willing to bet there ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has splitting on the bottom seam, surface wear, aging, and light staining. Vinyl has a click on the first track of each side.)
A pretty great idea for a late 60s rock record – even if the record itself is even better than its idea! The whole concept of the "masked marauders" was that the group was supposedly formed by big rockers of the time – unable to be listed on the cover, because of contractual ... read moreCD
Mad music from Jean-Pierre Massiera – the legendary producer who was steeped in the hippest sounds of the French scene of the 60s, then moved to Quebec to forge a wild style that was all his own! Jean-Pierre rarely ever issued work under his own name – and instead recorded under a host ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Fantastic pop from The Matchmakers – a group who only went by that name on some of their records – as they were more of a studio project from UK producers Mark Wirtz and Kris Ife, and also issued work as The Guards, Fickle Finger, Krimson Kake, Happy Confusion, Cellophane Mop, Father's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the 2 terrific records ex-Fairport Convention singer-songwriter Ian Matthews cut for the Vertigo label in the early 70s – built around Matthews wonderful vocals and acoustic guitars, but with a tighter rhythmic backdrop the the typical post folk trope!

John Mayall's definitely getting back to his roots here – and he's also getting help from an all-star cast as well! Mayall's vocals and piano are in fine form – almost with a rough-edged Blues Breakers sort of vibe, but sometimes a bit funkier too – in ways that strongly show the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner and a large name in marker in front.)
British blues meets LA's Laurel Canyon – a trans-Atlantic (or is it Pacific?) blend that makes for one of John Mayall's most compelling albums of the 60s! The album was recorded after the breakup of the Blues Breakers group – but it still features strong support from Mick Taylor on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear.)
The title certainly gets it right – as the album definitely brings a bit of jazz into the mix for the great John Mayall – given that the set features strong work from funky jazz heavyweights Blue Mitchell on trumpet and Freddy Robinson on guitar! Both are musicians that we love for ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
