One of the coolest concepts for a record in the 60s – and a set that's the first, and maybe crowning achievement of Vanilla Fudge!

An album of pure genius – easily one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever, and a landmark set from the Tropicalia years! There's a brilliance here that's hard to describe accurately – quite possibly because the young Caetano Veloso is experimenting with so many new ideas, the album ... (Brazil, Rock)read moreCD
The incredible third album from The Velvet Underground – and maybe our favorite of all their albums together – even though this one is far less weird or experimental than the rest!

A great mix of R&B and more mainstream-styled harmony vocals – served up in a way that's quite unusual for the time! The Versatones are certainly "versa toned" here – and they work in a mix of rockish and more pop-ranged material that might be the sort that you'd expect ...

The second and possibly best album ever by Gene Vincent – a hard charging firebrand signed to Capitol to, well, capitalize on the Elvis phenomenon – but Gene was a wilder character with a seedier groove! Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps was the last to feature lead guitar from Cliff ... read moreCD

One of the best-remembered moments of the Virgin Prunes – a set that's pre-goth, and has strong post-punk production from Colin Newman of Wire!

(40th Anniversary Edition – with a bonus 16 page book of notes and photos, and an exclusive art card too!)
One of the catchiest early songs by The Virgin Prunes – a cut that captures the group at a time when they were still light enough in their approach – so that the track does a great job of mixing the vocals of Gavin Friday with some upbeat rhythms and plenty of spooky guitar lines and ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record

An album that's very out of time, especially given all the musical trends that were taking place in the year it was released – but that hardly seems to matter at all to Allan Wachs, as he's got a very personal style to the record – one that welcomes you in to a world that's all his own ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An unusual moment in the career of Tom Waits – a set that features some tracks done for a stage production, and which almost seem to unlock a Brechtian side in the singer's approach – especially given the jagged rhythms and dark currents that seem to inflect to many of the tunes!
