Relatively late work in the classic years of Procol Harum – but as any true fan of the group will tell you, these guys never stopped being great – even if the rest of the world wasn't paying as close of attention as they were back in the 60s! Gary Brooker's vocals and piano are still ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Sweet acoustic folk rock from an obscure Colorado combo – a group who were perhaps a few years too late to make a mark with their sound, but who still sound wonderful nonetheless! This beautiful little record is the group's sole legacy – recorded for the tiny Owl Records label in 1973, ... read moreCD
One of the greatest moments ever from Psychic TV – and a really stunning surprise after the breakup of Throbbing Gristle! Genesis P Orridge and Peter Cristopherson go in a completely different direction here – a mode that still holds onto some of the noise lessons learned in TG, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(UK pressing. Includes bonus 12" and the printed inner sleeve. Cover has faint ring wear, a sticker, and light corner bends.)
Limited edition 2 disc version including bonus DVD of now legendary live performance at London, Heaven Nightclub, April 2nd 2012, along with expanded inner booklet. CD
An incredible debut from Public Image Limited – one of the most striking records of its generation, and a huge surprise – given that the Sex Pistols had broken up just a few months before! The record is the key transition of Johnny Rotten into John Lydon – and the whole thing is ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$9.9913.99
Jim Pulte got his start in Southwind, but here as a solo act he's got a very different vibe – a style that might have gotten smooth AOR production a few years later, but which instead here has this kind of quirky mix of styles that comes across with a lot more character than you might expect! ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Pussy Galore —
Right Now ... LP Caroline, 1987. Very Good+ ...
$19.9924.99
Blistering raunch 'n' roll from Pussy Galore! They had pretty much perfected their mess by the time Right Now came out. The group still bring as much shrapnel-y noise and with all of the barbed ferocity of the meanests MFs in the darkest corners of late 80s indie rock – but unlike your Big ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The first ever career-spanning look at the music of legendary vocalist Asha Puthli – a singer who's maybe best known for her 70s club work on the European scene, but who also has a much wider range of expression – which you'll discover here!

Gyrate ... LP DB Recs, 1980. Near Mint- ...
$59.99
Overlooked genius from the scene in Athens, GA – served up by a group who also borrow plenty of influences from the UK post-punk world too!

(US DB pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a small cutout notch, light wear, lightly bent at the right side, and bent a bit at the edges.)
One of the true giants from the Harvest Records prog years – a masterpiece of a trio album, and one that has even more power than most fuller groups of the time!

Mike Quatro Jam Band —
Paintings ... LP Evolution, 1972. Very Good+ ...
$3.99
Man, they had us at "Mike Quatro", then really won us over with "Jam Band"! Mike plays electric piano, mini-moog, organ, and lots of other piano too – plus flutes, bass, wah wah guitar, and sound effects – a very unusual album! There's a nice remake of "Court ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo sticker, surface wear, and edge wear.)
Maybe not the first album by Queen, but the record that really put them on the map – as the group create a wonderful sense of interplay between all the elements that make them so great – while also using the studio in ways the group had never dared before – taking their ... read moreCD
Question Mark & The Mysterians —
Action ... LP Cameo/Abkco, 1967. New Copy (reissue)...
$14.9925.99
The second album from Question Mark & The Mysterians – even more obscure than the first, and harder and heavier too! There's an energy and brashness here that's undeniable – like the group have really gotten their isht together – and found a way to push past the simple ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the most progressive albums on the American scene of the late 60s – a set that's definitely psych, but which has a put-together quality that's something else as well! The group still have plenty of the optimistic charms you'd expect from their placement on the SF scene of the period ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Very cool work from Quintessence – an overlooked British group at the end of the 60s, and one who've got a sound that's every bit as spiritual as you'd guess from the cover! These guys are so influenced by Eastern thought, their lead singer is named Shiva – and most of the group ... read moreCD
(Brown marble vinyl pressing from 2005. Includes the poster.)
Radiohead —
Kid A ... CD Capitol, 2000. Used ...
Just Sold Out!
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! Their follow-up to OK Computer, which was an instant classic for the band, graced with lofty songwriting and impactful ... read moreCD
A record that's really out of time and place – a set that sounds nothing like most other material issued in 1980, and which also hardly shows any traces of the Louisiana roots of Will & James Ragar! Instead, the set's got this laidback style that's almost folk funk at times, especially ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A conscious classic from the start of the 70s – a record that gave the US its huge title hit – which was one of the biggest mainstream songs to recognize the struggles of the Native American at a key political point. The rest of the record follows in very similar spirit – much ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve, slightly crinkled. Cover has a cutout notch, hype sticker, Play It Say It sticker, promo stamp, and some ringwear and bent corner in back.)
The Ramones really caught their classic recorded sound for the first time on Leave Home – the second of their three perfect late 70s milestones. As amazing as the debut is, its two-channel shrieking buzzsaw sound bowed nicely to the slightly more digestible, but just as cathartic roar of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(UK pressing with "Babysitter" track on labels. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has some light ring & edge wear, spot of sticker remnant and pen.)
Incendiary live set by The Ramones at their early prime – with the original, most classic line-up of Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy – recorded in all their raw glory at The Roxy in the summer of 1976! Includes "Loudmouth", "Beat On The Brat", "Blitzkrieg ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
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
Just when The Ramones were fading into cultural oblivion in the mid 80s – despite being the defining NYC punk band and a group that distilled the previous couple decades of the best and fiercest rock & roll into their own influential blasts – this epic compilation brought about ... read moreCD
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 energy here is phenomenal – the kind of ... read moreCD
The fun fun soundtrack to Rock 'N' Roll High School – that gloriously, knowingly trashy Roger Corman produced movie vehicle for the Ramones! Of course The Ramones are all over the soundtrack, but it's got a bunch of 70s new wave and hard rock from Devo, Eno, Nick Lowe, Todd Rundgren and more ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing with Sterling stamp. Cover has light wear & smudges.)
Post Pearls Before Swine work from Tom Rapp – a record that has him stepping out as a solo act, but with a feel that's quite similar to his recordings with the group! The mood here is laidback and slightly folksy – but also augmented more by piano than by guitar, and recorded with a ... 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
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
(80s Motown reissue pressing, still sealed with a small price code sticker.)
Titles include "What'd I Say", "I'm Losing You", "Nice To Be With You", "Get Ready", "Born To Wander", "Hey Big Brother", and "I Just Want To Celebrate". LP, Vinyl record album
(In the original envelope style cover, with some edge wear.)
A bold step forward for the Rascals – and a record that really has them taking some great chances with their music! There's a definite psychedelic influence in the mix, but the sound is also more ambitious too – not just a scattering of elements borrowed from their contemporaries, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Green & blue label stereo pressing. Cover has a small cutout hole and minimal wear.)
Nothing too peaceful here – at least not in a sleepy sort of way – as The Rascals are really hitting on all burners, and starting to mix a bit of funk in with their groove!

$23.99
A key record in the revival of Red Crayola – a set done at a time when Mayo Thompson had relocated to the UK scene, and having a surprisingly big influence there!

(UK Radarscope pressing, in great shape! Back cover has one small ripped part, but front looks great.)
Classic first album of avant noise and psych from the Texas underground, featuring seminal early work by Mayo Thompson, and a mind-blasting set of tracks that mixes straight songs with the group's trademark "free form freak outs". Essential to anyone with even the slightest affinity for ... read moreCD

Red Rider —
Neruda ... CD Capitol, 1983. Used ...

A big stack of singles from one of the coolest groups on the American scene of the 70s – one who are remembered for a few key singles, but delivered a heck of a lot more greatness over the space of the decade! Redbone are maybe best known for their makeup – as the group featured Native ... read moreCD
The last-ever album from the legendary Lou Reed – and a set that's completely different from the sounds he gave the world in the Velvet Underground, and on most of his solo work in recent decades too! The music is spare and ambient, and very much lives up to the "meditations" in ... read moreCD

Remarkably strong stuff from Lou Reed in the early 80s – even if it's somewhat overlooked in his canon! As he was often doing in the period, it's fairly straight-forward rock & roll – which may have been something of a sly rebellion at a time when many of his late 60s and 70s peers ... read moreCD
