(UK pressing. Cover has light wear and a small stain at the bottom left corner.)
A beautiful record, recorded in the days when Tracy Thorn was just a wee girl, and before she hooked up with Ben Watt to form Everything But The Girl. Despite her young age, though, the songs are incredibly mature, and the 8 tracks on here are still some of the best songs ever written about ... read moreCD
One of the strangest records in the solo career of Paul McCartney – an all-instrumental reworking of his album Ram – issued here under the name of the mysterious Percy Thrillington!

So Alone ... LP Real/Rhino, 1978. New Copy (reissue)...
$24.9925.99
A still-searing moment of genius from Johnny Thunders – a record that captures the New York giant at a time when he still retained all the best intensity he brought to his work in the New York Dolls and Heartbreakers – yet at a level where he's also almost ready to burst out as a bigger ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Includes their classic "The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades" – plus "Life Is Hard", Just Another Movie", "Friction", "Cheap Black & White", "I Love You In The Strangest Way", and "Facts About Cats". LP, Vinyl record album
An album that's gone on to be the stuff of legend over the years – even though the original pressing of the record likely never made it out of the factory! Tinkerbell's Fairydust have this great way of blending harmony pop of the mid 60s with some of the trippier touches of the end of the ... read moreCD
A much-needed collection of work from Tintern Abbey – a group who recorded one famous psych single for the Deram label in 1967 – then seemingly disappeared from the scene before giving the world any sort of a full album! This set corrects that mistake, and then some – as it ... read moreCD

(Original stereo pressing! Cover has light wear, some seam splitting and "Discontined" embossed on the back.)
That's "Toomorrow", not "tomorrow" – a pretty wild sci-fi musical from the start of the 70s – and one that features this very groovy group! The quartet features some vocals by a young Olivia Newton John – but it's the instrumentation here that really sends us ... (Soundtracks, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Richard Torrance has a beard on the back that's not unlike that of Kenny Loggins or one of the Doobie Brothers – and on this overlooked late 70s gem, he's in very similar territory – well-crafted music that's right up there with the best of the AOR generation, yet like most of Richard's ... read moreCD
A diverse display of hard grooving avant instrumental soundscapes from Tortoise! All the descriptions of how groundbreaking Tortoise was in the earlier years, and forward looking they've remained throughout their career is all fine and good (and true) – but it isn't often discussed how flat ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Wow, this is SO not the Tortoise that first set the underground aflame in the early 90s – the group has evolved and opened up in ways we never would have expected. With It's All Around You it's emerged with an airy, open, stargazing set of tracks that resemble the languid atmosphere of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A legendary project from Tortoise – kind of the "part 1.5" to their tremendous debut – as it features material from that record, remixed by members of the group and other key figures on the Chicago scene – all as a real testament to the many criss-crossing styles and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Tan label pressing. Cover has a partially split top seam.)
A huge album from Traffic – a set that was first given to the world in a strange-shaped cover – which seemed to grace countless record collections back in the 70s! The group is expanded to a sextet here – with bass from Rick Grech and percussion from Rebop Kwaku Baah – both ... read moreCD

Traffic get some help here from Muscle Shoals heavyweights Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, and Jimmy Johnson – a trio who help the group continue that richer, more expanded sound that was first unfurled on the group's Low Spark album! The sound is maybe a more focused attempt at territory from ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(In the original corner cut cover, with printed inner sleeve. Cover has edge & ring wear.)
The second album from Traffic, and a set that forever cemented their legacy in the annals of modern music – a set that has Dave Mason returning to the group after a brief hiatus, and maybe helping the quartet find a tighter, rootsier sound overall! The approach here is nicely mixed – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US black label Island pressing in a barcode cover. A nice copy!)
The last album in a legendary run from Traffic – a set that has the team of Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi working with a really strong sense of focus – maybe in part because the group's winnowed down to a quartet, which leaves their contributions even more strongly in the lead! The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The final album from Trapeze – and a set that has them stepping out as a super-heavy trio who should have been huge!

(White label pressing with Bell Sound/SF stamp. Cover has some ring and edge wear.)
The Trashmen are best-remembered for one crazy classic – the legendary "Surfin Bird", one of those old 45s that never gets old – yet the group also have a heck of a lot more to offer, as you'll hear in this well-done set that really captures their magic in all of its glory! ... read moreCD
An incredibly lovely little record, with a sound that's very much all its own – served by a female trio who were part of the unusual scene in Uruguay at the time – all in a mix of harmonized vocals, acoustic guitar, and a very personal, up-close sort of presentation!

$1.99
The genius first album from Gary Numan and Tubeway Army – a set that stripped down all sorts of influences from the early part of the 70s, filtered them through a punkish sort of energy, and came up with a great antidote to some of the more overblown projects from years before! There's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of America's grooviest pop acts from the 60s! This excellent 2CD set is a perfect introduction to The Turtles – a group that offers way more than just a few oldie hits, with a depth of presentation and humor that kept their records fresh long after the initial AM radio fame wore off. ... read moreCD

Twilight Nuages ... LP Folk Evaluation, 1977. New Copy (reissue)...
$6.9926.99
A record that came out in the year that punk rock was changing the world, and disco was going full steam – but an obscure little set that hardly feels like 1977 at all, and which maybe has all the earthy, personal charm of some lost California relic from the end of the 60s! The group's led ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500 – includes download with bonus tracks!)
Wonderfully weird work from the New York scene of the late 70s and early 80s – recordings that bristle with some of the best post-punk and new wave energy of the time, but which are much more obscure than most work you might know from other records!

A pivotal album in the career of Ultravox – one that has the group shifting from their rougher roots, into the sweeter, more synth-styled sounds that became their lasting legacy on modern music! Gone is the quirkiness of the first few records, but in its place is one of the best (and first) ... read moreCD
A really groovy little record – definitely "underground", but with lots of funky sound library appeal – given that the group were mostly a studio combo, put together to record a few records like this! The set's mostly instrumental, and is filled with loads of strong organ ... read moreCD
One of THE greatest experimental rock albums of the 60s – a landmark effort from a short-lived group that included avant musicians Joe Byrd and Gordon Marron! The group's got a really tremendous sound – part psyche, part electronic, and part folk rock – all put together in a ... read moreCD

A really cool album from the legendary run of records on the Italian Cramps label of the 70s – a set of spare keyboard work from Horacio Vaggione, and one that falls somewhere in between American minimalism and some of the John Carpenter keyboard horror soundtracks of the time!

A great bit of indie soul from the mid 70s – and a record that's as wonderful as it is obscure! We don't know much about John, but he's got a spacious, soaring style of soul that's clearly influenced by Stevie Wonder – and which takes the sound into a fuller, richer groove – but ...
