Radiohead —
Kid A ... LP Capitol/XL, 2000. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)...
$25.9926.98
One of Radiohead's greatest albums, and probably our favorite – where they boldly dove into stranger, more deeply atmosheric moodcraft than anything they'd released to date!

Beautiful keyboard grooves from the Rah Band – a project from electronic wizard Richard Hewson that first started in the 70s, then found a way to make the move from disco soul to 80s grooves!

Sublime soft psych from Rain – a warm and wonderful set originally issued on Project 3 Records at the start of the 70s! Like other work on the label, there's a nicely mellow feel to some of the cuts here – not as all-out dreamy as Free Design, but definitely a different quality than ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Post-Polydor work from Chris Rainbow, but a set that still continues the sublime run of solo music he first started in the mid 70s! The sound here is incredible – a great extension of the near-perfect studio creations he crafted with Alan Parsons, with cool vocal processing that adds in some ... read moreCD
The complete works of Ranbow Ffolly – presented here in an overstuffed 3CD set! First off, forgive the double letters in the group's name – but that's the way the band spelled it themselves, and if you sounded this trippy, you'd probably do the same! Rainbow Ffolly have a really ... read moreCD
What's up with this title? Is it one of those 60s pop moments where the group sneaks in a phrase that seems innocent, and slips past the censoring eyes of the record label? Whatever the case, there's probably less real Acapulco Gold behind the set than you'd guess from the title – but that's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The Roger Corman-Phil Spector year of the mighty Ramones!

The birth of punk rock as a bonafide genre, and not only that, a record that changed the rules – stripping rock and roll back down raw essentials – and unwittingly appearing as one of the greatest rock albums ever made.

A prime Ramones classic from the late 70s – a set that's got Joey, Johnny, and crew really hitting right on the money – with the kind of short sharp tracks that made the group such a key bridge between the 60s and the blank generation!

The fun fun soundtrack to Rock 'N' Roll High School – that gloriously, knowingly trashy Roger Corman produced movie vehicle for the Ramones!

A stunning early chapter in the career of singer/songwriter Kenny Rankin – an artist who'd later break big with a unique mix of jazz and folk, but who already sounds pretty amazing on these early singles recorded for Columbia Records!

Buzzingly sunny power pop on a level that's rarely reached post-millennium!

Fantastic sounds from Richard Raux – a 70s French musician who works here in equal parts jazz, soul, funk, and prog – often with a vibe that's freewheeling and open, but never fails to groove!

Lou Reed at his mid 70s live peak! Volumes have already been and will continue to be written about Lou's output in the 70s, and rightly so.
