An album of fragile beauty and buried darkness – in a space that's somewhere between the work of Nico and Brigitte Fontaine, but a fair bit sweeter overall! Emmanuelle Parrenin sings here in a timeless style that might almost be called folksy – especially in the return to tradition ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Comes with a bonus single that features the tracks "17 Decembre" and "La Foret Bleue".)
Both albums complete on one CD! First up GP – a mindblowing solo debut from Gram Parsons – music that's nicely different than his work with both the Flying Burrito Brothers and The Byrds, and which shows Gram really stepping out into the role of a 70s superstar – to which he ... read moreCD
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

Magic People ... LP Verve/Forecast, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
$11.99
Great great work by The Paupers – essentially a 60s folk rock combo, but one with a really groovy sound! The group come up with loads of great guitar interplay on the session – jangling acoustic and electric together in a style that comes up with some nice hippie and eastern edges ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has aging, some surface wear, half split bottom seam.)
Quite a big album for Annette Peacock – and a set that helped break her into a much wider audience than before! The album's got a quirky electric style that's years ahead of its time – a blend of Peacock's older jazz roots with some of the artier styles that would show up much more ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Pretty wild stuff from Annette Peacock – almost a "no wave" record at times, with lots of quirky art rock overtones next to the jazz vocal stylings that are more of her typical bag. The album's got lots of heavy guitars from rockers that include Mick Ronson, Chris Spedding, Bill ... (Vocalists, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

West Coast Love In ... LP Vault, Late 60s. Very Good+ ...
$14.99
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! Penn Central often have an approach that's tight and smooth enough to be on the coast – maybe indie AOR, with some nice slinky touches – but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Recent German reissue on Tramp, limited to 500, still sealed with hype sticker, with light sticker remnant.)
A live set from the legendary Pere Ubu, but one that's every bit as important a document of their early years as the group's famous singles! The material here features two different versions of the band – a very early mid 70s lineup with Dave Thomas on vocals and Peter Laughner on guitar ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A seminal album from the American underground of the late 70s – the debut of Pere Ubu, bursting forth from the Cleveland scene with a sound to challenge the greatness of anything coming from New York or LA at the time! The album's not exactly punk, not exactly art rock, but has strong ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Italian pressing on Base, with white labels. Cover has light wear.)
Rare 70s live work from the legendary Italian group Perigeo – a combo who were very much both a jazz group and a rock outfit – and who work here in a concert setting that has the players really stretching out on their solos! You'll no doubt recognize some of the quintet's players here ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A classic bit of choppy Italian fusion, recorded by this once-prog band during a point when they were tightening up their groove a bit. Claudio Fasoli plays tenor, and the great Franco D'Andrea plays Fender Rhodes and synth. Cuts include "Tamale", "Periplus", "Yellow ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A well-done collection of work from one of the real giants of the early days of Sun Records – and we mean that in more ways than one, as Carl Perkins was a towering figure of a man! Perkins may not have hit the fame as Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash, but his work here is every bit as wonderful ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Think what you want about the Pet Shop Boys, this tune's still got a simple charm that we love – one of the last gasps of early 80s British pop seeping into American club – and a nicely spoken lyric that still beats out most of what was going on in US pop at the time! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light wear and a name in pen, but looks great overall.)
(Includes the heavy inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)

$7.9914.98
A pretty amazing album from vocalist Caroline Peyton – a eclectic set from '77 that manages to cohesively blend pop, country, soul, folk and even a touch of disco-styled funk – but it all holds together masterfully thanks to credible craftsmanship and especially to Caroline's lovely ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreCD
The record's got an evocative title and cover – and an evocative sound to match – that heavenly version of prog that made PFM one of the few groups who could both be jamming and sensitive at the same time – often within the space of a single song on the record! The group's in ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US Manticore pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Vinyl has a heated edge that plays with some surface noise and a mark that clicks on the title track. Cover has ringwear, edge wear, partially unglued bottom seam, and some ringstains in back.)
Think what you want about the lady and her music, this album's one of the most crucial indie sets of the 90s – a record that not only elevated a whole new level of songwriting, but also helped find a new role for the female artist in the changing scene of the time! Plus, for us, it's also a ... read moreCD
A great introduction to the music of a criminally neglected figure in British Pop music – the wonderful Louis Philippe, an artist whose sound was always a bridge between the sunshine pop of the 60s and the smart singer/songwriter sounds of the later British scene! The High Llamas' Sean O'Haga ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Solo work from this Genesis member – with Mel Collins on saxes, Michael Giles on drums, Rupert Hine on percussion, and "The Vicar" on guitars! LP, Vinyl record album

A trio of key albums from the Pink Fairies – served up with lots of bonus tracks too! First up is Never Never Land – the fantastic debut of the Pink Fairies – easily one of the shaggiest, headiest bands on the UK scene at the start of the 70s – and a group who rose from the ... read moreCD
Freaky fuzz from the Pink Fairies – a seminal UK group who were maybe trapped in a space between late psych and early glam – and somehow equally important to both! There's lots going on in the set – modes that are as offbeat as styles put forth by The Fugs in the late 60s, but a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear and is slightly wavy at the bottom 3 inches.)
Pink Floyd rose out of the same London scene that gave the world a huge amount of psychedelic records in the late 60s – but with a set like this, they're clearly head and shoulders above most of their contemporaries – already working with a boundless sense of imagination and impeccable ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Ummagumma ... LP Harvest/EMI, Early 70s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ...
Just Sold Out!
A seminal set from 70s Pink Floyd – a set that took all the energy of Dark Side Of The Moon, and refined it into an even more complex sonic setting! The songs here move out spaciously – still very unified as an overall album, but often with all of these longer-form musical ideas, and ... read moreCD
Rare late 60s psychedelia from blue collar Rockford, Il – a totally great lost album of pop psych tunefulness from Pisces – who had an incredible knack for experimental sounds that weave in and out of the hallucinatory pop structure! The group centered around core players Jim Krein and ... read moreCD
CD 1 features In Search Of Amelia Earhart – an overlooked gem from early 70s Elektra. It's a wonderfully warm, wonderfully solid set of rootsy rock from this group headed by Ian Matthews! The set moves past some of Matthews' earlier efforts – a bit tighter at times, yet still far from ... read moreCD
The late-career high points get loftier and loftier for the great Robert Plant! Plant is working here with his Sensational Shapeshifters, a band name that just as aptly applies to Plant himself, having shifted over to a progressive folk and roots mode, decades after conquering hard rock in Led ... read moreCD
Two different live recordings – a late 70s set recorded at the Orpheum in Boston and broadcast on WBCN, and a 1983 show recorded at the Omni in Atlanta. CD
Their runaway hit – with titles that include "King Of Pain", "Every Breath You Take", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", "Tea In The Sahara", and "Synchronicity". LP, Vinyl record album
(Translucent purple Quiex II vinyl pressing, including the printed inner sleeve and video offer insert!)
Two albums by Pamela Polland – one of which was never issued in the 70s! First up is the self-titled Pamela Polland – an obscure bit of 70s underground rock – the first solo album by Polland, who might be better known for her work in the psych-folk group Gentle Soul at the end of ... read moreCD
An incredible package – five amazing soundtracks by this groundbreaking group, all originally done for the films of Werner Herzog – a great mix of electronic and acoustic elements! CD
(Out of print. Comes with a cool slide-out design, and a nice booklet of notes. Inside tray has light wear in a bottrom corner, but is great overall.)
A sublime creation that was originally created for a sound installation on a street in Italy during a late 80s festival – music that seeks to draw out the noise of the street, and replace it with a warmer, more sensitive progression of music! Tiziano Popoli uses a range of Korg and Yamaha ... (Out Sound, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really sweet record from the Canadian scene at the end of the 60s – and a set that feels a lot more like a California-styled version of Sunshine Pop than you might expect! The group's an initial vehicle for the husband/wife team of Susan and Terry Jacks – the latter of whom would ... read moreCD
The hugely influential debut of Possessed – and a major metal milestone! Hard rock and heavy metal bands from mainstream heroes to underground genre heavies dabbled with devilish lyrics and paired the sounds of lumbering heaviness and lightning speed before, but Possessed break so much ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A compelling step forward for Sam Prekop – a key member of Sea & Cake for many years, but maybe an even more engaging artist on his own! This set's different than some of Sam's previous records – in that it's all electric, really electronic – with modes that hearken back to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful little record, and one that's part of a surprising shift into the world of electronics from Sam Prekop – an artist that most folks know as a completely charming singer/songwriter, yet who manages to take all the warmth of his previous work and transfer it here to an instrumental ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An amazingly weird little record – and we mean that in the best possible way – work served up by an all-vocal quartet who seem to draw from ancient Eastern styles, yet deliver their music with a 70s avant sensibility! Alvin Curran recorded the album – maybe a hint at the ... (Out Sound, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Fantastic early work from John Prine – exactly the kind of sounds that made him so different from both the 60s generation of folksingers, and most of his hip 70s contemporaries too!

One of the great lost moments in the career of Trevor Horn – and the only real full album from Propaganda! The group have an approach that has bits of the Art of Noise love of sound texture, and which also seems to borrow a bit from the German electronics of the early 80s – but fuses ... read moreCD
