A 60s Cali group named The Pyramids, but one who might have been named The Monks instead – given that all their members shaved their heads, while also delivering a razor-sharp version of guitar-heavy surf rock! The Pyramids may not have been the biggest name on the west coast scene at the ... read moreCD
A really heady record from this obscure LA group – one of the few albums of its type issued on the Tetragrammaton label, and maybe a good precursor to the famous role that Deep Purple would have on the imprint! Yet while Quatrain are in the same heady company as that famous group, they also ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A landmark album from Queen – a set conceived when the group were already at the top of their game, and willing to not only lean into their strengths, but also take a few chances by slimming things down, and really bringing the focus onto the guitar work, vocals, and heavy rhythms that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The start of a legendary run of records from Queen – a set that's maybe not as archetypically the group's work as mid 70s albums to come – but which is still a hell of a way to put themselves out for the rest of the world to hear! The intensity of their musical performance is already ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The fantastic debut of this Italian prog powerhouse – the kind of record that instantly has the scene going up with the best sounds and styles offered up by the UK supergroups of the time!

Gosh, we love this CD! Chris Rainbow may not be a household name to you – but he's a 70s pop genius that deserves much greater recognition, much of what he'll get from this CD! Chris has a style that picks up where The Beach Boys' Sunflower left off – and he's also got some elements ... read moreCD

(Burbank label stereo pressing. Cover has ring and edge wear.)
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. Given the stripped, buzzing simplicity, it's impossible to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A bit of a back to basics set from The Ramones – not exactly the raw punk of their roots, but a nicely stripped-down record that really has them doing the sorts of lean, tight material they always do best! The production is lean, but also has some of those currents that echo the way the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great little set from the 70s run of Motown albums from Rare Earth – an album that's sometimes overlooked, but which still has the group very much at the top of their game! Here, they're working with production from Stewart Levine – who handled the wonderful Adventures In Paradise ... read moreCD
There was plenty of influence from soul bubbling under in the world of rock during the 70s – but given that Rare Earth were one of the first to do such a blend so well, they're clearly ahead of the pack on a record like this! The style's a bit of a shift from their previous efforts with ... read moreCD
The funky blue-eyed debut of Rare Earth – an early Detroit combination of soul, rock, and funk! The group really sprang to fame on Motown right after this early album for Verve – but this set may be even harder and heavier than any of their later records – produced by Dennis ... read moreCD
The first really major album from Rare Earth – issued on their own self-named subsidiary of Motown! The set's a perfect blend of the rich undercurrents of the heady Detroit scene of the late 60s – at one level a tripped-out rock record with styles that almost hint at MC5, at another ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A real grand slam from Rare Earth – a late 70s set, but one that shows that they're still one of the greatest blue-eyed soul groups of all time! If anything, the period seems to bring out even more of the soulful side of the group – with a shift to fuller arrangements that include work ... read moreCD
A record that gave Rare Earth one of their biggest hits ever – their hard-burning "I Just Want To Celebrate" – a killer classic that played big on both sides of the fence, and which definitely established the group as a soulful force that kept on going! At some level, the set ... read moreCD
An overlooked gem from Rare Earth – a set that maybe didn't fare as well as some of their previous hits, but which definitely has the group hitting on all burners!

(Original 1841 Broadway label pressing. Includes the red inner sleeve. Cover has a thin cutout notch, corner bump, light surface wear.)
The Rascals' last album for Atlantic Records – and a set that has the combo relying more than ever on the talents of organist Felix Cavaliere! There's a great New York blend of rock and soul going on in the set – a confident, soaring sort of approach to the tunes that's past caring ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Green and red Broadway label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear, unglued bottom seam, and is bent at the front panel.)
The cover looks a bit like a sunshine pop album, but the sound here is a lot more intense – great garagey grooves served up from The Rationals – the group's only full length record, even though they were a key part of the Michigan scene in the 60s!

A great late 80s return to form for Lou Reed – a record set in a New York that's a bit different than the gritty one of his youth, but which is captured here by Lou with that vivid sense of songwriting that always made his urban themes some of the best in rock and roll! The set's designed to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

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.

A crucial debut release from REM – a set that's only an EP, but which broke onto the scene with more power than most of the full albums of the time – and which really set the stage for new changes on the American scene to come! The record could arguably be called the beginning of a new ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A fantastic presentation of this 70s classic from Renaissance – a set that also feels as if it's got a sound that goes back much further in the past – maybe not to the flowering of culture after the middle ages, but maybe more to the folk rock world of the 60s! The group have some of ... read moreCD

A record with a title that's maybe a bit misplaced – given that it was the last the group recorded for Elektra Records – but a set that really has them at the top of their game!
