A collection of unreleased later work from the great Harry Nilsson – tracks that push the genius of his RCA material ever forward into the 90s, but without ever losing any of his charm or spirit! Van Dyke Parks helped out on some of these tracks, and the material definitely has that cut-above ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of Nilsson's best ever albums – with a more streamlined overall sound than some of his wildly eclectic earlier LPs – really putting a tight focus on both his vocal and songwriting genius! There's an easygoing charm to the album that's pretty much unrivaled in his catalog (and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$29.99
One of greatest moments of genius by pop vocals eccentric Harry Nilsson – the classic early 70s "story" album The Point – perhaps is most imaginative work!

Harry Nilsson/Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones —
Point ... LP MCA (Japan), 1977. Near Mint- ...
$14.99
A very weird variation on Harry Nilsson's excellent animated soundtrack for The Point – done here in an unusual British version, with post-Monkees work by Davy Jones as Oblio, and Micky Dolenz as Count's Kid and Leafman! LP, Vinyl record album
A deeply dark album from Nine Inch Nails – music done for the 90s videogame Quake, and which marked one of the first times a big-name act was providing the score for such a format! The music here is even heavier and murkier than the group's better-known records – almost experimental, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Brilliant early work from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – a group who grew up in the same Cali sunshine that birthed The Byrds, but who definitely took a very unique path in the way they blended together folk, rock, and country! These guys show their wit on their sleeves a bit more than in later ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Very cool – four different radio shows, put together by the US Army – each featuring one of the artists above, with presentation by host Alison "Nightbird" Steele! LP, Vinyl record album

A never-issued album from the great Jack Nitzsche – maybe one of his most down to earth recordings of the 70s, and one with a bit more ties to the studio roots that Jack had working with the hippest cats on the LA scene in the 60s! The set is a collaboration with Robert Downey – the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maybe the best album that Don Nix ever recorded – a set that perfectly illustrates his fully-formed genius, with Don writing, arranging, and producing the whole set down at Muscle Shoals! And sure, plenty of roots-tinged rockers hit that Alabama scene during the period – but few folks ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
There may be no movie soundtrack, as the title proclaims – but this Polish group comes across with a real Breakfast Club look on the cover! That style is maybe also a good indication of the music, too – as there's a lot going on here that would be right at home in the British scene of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Seminal sounds from trumpeter Ian Carr and his Nucleus group of the early 70s – maybe one of the few jazz rock groups that was ever able to work with a fair bit of jazz in their sound! Unlike his contemporaries, who often started in rock first, then added some horns – Carr was already ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreCD
A classic! Where would electronic pop be without Gary Numan's "Cars"? Alongside Kraftwerk's classic 80s albums and Yellow Magic Orchestra's first LP, this album by Gary Numan ranks as one of the most essential synth driven LPs on a creative level – and it rightly brought the sound ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Wonderfully trippy sounds from Mike Nyoni – one of the funkier talents in the Zamrock scene of the 70s – even though he also works with lots of the slight psychedelic touches of other contemporaries too! Mike's style on guitar is a bit too loose to be funk, but it's also got this nice ... (Global Grooves, Rock)read moreCD

Heavy fuzz from late 60s Brazil – a Tropicalia-era album, but one with a slightly more mainstream groove – one that mixes elements of regional music with psychedelic elements and bouncy, mod-styled backings! The approach is somewhat like the work going on over at EMI/Odeon during the ... (Brazil, Rock)read moreCD
One of Phil Ochs' later and more radical albums – as if you couldn't tell from the title, or from the cover, which show Phil's imagined grave! Titles include "I Kill Therefore I Am", "Pretty Smart On My Part", "Another Age", "Rehearsals For Retirement" ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing on Pickwick, with abridged tracklist omitting "William Butler Yeats".)
An excellent prog set from the early 70s Quebec scene – work that really shows just how special that oft-overlooked world of music could be at the time! Octobre certainly have the instrumental chops to rival bigger prog groups, but they also come across with a quality that's more personal ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful mix of Quebecois prog and fusion – performed here by the core group Offenbach, working with larger accompaniment from the Vic Vogel Big Band! The performance is a unique one, but also a summation of all the freewheeling ideas that were taking place in this overlooked scene – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Individually numbered limited edition of 100 numbered copies!)
Easily one of the most successful albums of the British jazz rock years – but still a longtime favorite of ours as well! Mike Oldfield sets a whole new standard here for concept rock – not only by working on a single album-length composition that spans all of sides one and two, but ... read moreCD
Wonderful easy grooves – from an orchestra leader who couldn't read a note of music! During the 60s, Andrew Oldham was probably best known to the world as the flamboyant manager of the Rolling Stones – but during the same period, or at least the earliest stretch of it, he also headed ... read moreCD
Tracks include "It's Over", "Blue Bayou", "Indian Wedding", "Falling", "Working For The Man", "Pretty Paper", "Mean Woman Blues", "Lana", "In Dreams", "Leah", "Borne On The Wind", and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A really groovy little record – a set of really catchy pop psych numbers, all of which get the added benefit of larger arrangements from producer Alan Lorber! Orpheus are clearly good enough on their own – a great ear for mixing trippier touches and catchier lyrics – but the ... read moreCD

The third album from the legendary Os Mutantes – part of the essential trio of sides released during the Tropicalia years!

(Out of print. Booklet has a very light stain in one corner tray card is a little wavy – overall still a solid copy.)
Rocking! This is a rare live album recorded by the Mutantes during the years after Rita Lee and Arnaldo Baptista left the group – and when the only surviving original member Sergio Dias turned the group into a very competent progressive rock outfit!

A strange spacey soundtrack from mid 80s Spain – one composed for a daytime TV show, but with a weird electronic vibe that must have shocked the kids who were watching at the time!

A record with a stunning cover by the great Roger Dean – and a stunning sound to match – one of the few sets ever issued by Paladin, a group who are a bit more hard-rocking than the Yes-like cover image might imply – but who also let loose with some great prog touches as well! ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Individually numbered limited edition of 1000 – on heavyweight silver vinyl!)
Two very unusual works by the always-enigmatic Van Dyke Parks – both of them variations on older compositions from the middle of the 19th Century!

A rare early moment from the legendary Austrian group Paternoster – sounds that predate their one and only cult-status album – originally created for the equally legendary film, Die Ersten Tage! The music here was never issued commercially at the time – and the release of these ... read moreCD
A heady heady album from the Austrian scene of the early 70s – and one by a group that's really unlike anyone else we can think of! Paternoster are completely dark and brooding – often building their music at a pace that's a lot slower than prog, as the guitars and keyboards layer in ... read moreCD
The second album from The Paupers – a mix of searing guitar jams, more easygoing psychedelic pop bigger arrangements, even a little bit of a comic take on Byrdsy country rock– making for a pretty wild mix of sounds, but done with a focus on melodies and catchy grooves. The group is ... read moreCD
A great step forward for Tom Paxton – his first album on the Reprise label, and a set that really pushes the best post-folk modes of the singer!

A really obscure little set from a group who recorded in Erie, PA at the end of the 70s – but who never issued this music at the time!
