Sugarloaf —
Sugarloaf ... LP Liberty, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
$14.99
A fantastic debut from Sugarloaf – a group who managed to use the Hammond organ in ways that were just as strong as the guitar in most other groups! The approach here seems to draw a lot from all the best changes taking place in soulful jazz – as Jerry Corbetta manages his keyboards ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The earliest sounds ever recorded by Suicide – music that even pre-dates their monumental debut album from 1977 – but which has an equally fuzzy, freaky vibe overall! The music here is maybe slightly more mellow – not as confrontational as the stance the duo would take a few ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Suicide may be one of the coolest groups of all time – at least as one to emerge from the New York scene at the end of the 70s – where even amidst the giants of the time, they had a sound that was unlike anything else! The duo of Alan Vega and Martin Rev mixed broken electronics with ... read moreCD

A record that really delivers the paradise promised in its title – especially if you dig laidback, keyboard-heavy work with a very mellow vibe! The music is somewhere between some of the best Japanese minimal music of the time, and some of the warmer instrumental experiments from the UK and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A hell of a record from Supertramp – the set that catapulted them into global stardom after a late 70s run of really great, but overlooked albums! The album is a pure pop masterpiece all the way through – catchy tunes with slightly deeper ideas – a nice sense of striving in the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has an unglued top seam.)
Classic pop glam from Sweet – easily one of the best torchbearers of the genre in the 70s! The album's got a sweetly compressed sound that's right up there with the best of Queen – but even more rocking overall, and without any of the too-flowery or too-flashy moments. Tunes are ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(In the die-cut "winking action" cover, with the heavy inner sleeve. Cover has light surface wear, with a torn and bent corner at the die-cut window in back.)
The title's no lie, given that the group were working way out in the Hawaiian scene at the time when this album was released – but that offshore obscurity doesn't stop these guys from serving up another hard psych classic to match the brilliance of their debut! The drawing on the cover has ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Sweetbottom —
Turn Me Loose ... LP Elektra/Wounded Bird, 1979. Near Mint- ...
$7.99
Guitar-heavy fusion from Sweetbottom – one of those late 70s groups that definitely brought a rock into play with their jazz! In fact, this album's got more vocals than the group's previous efforts – definitely heading for the kind of mature, FM radio mode of the time – cats ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo stamp and light wear.)
An essential addition to the too-small catalog of work by the legendary Swell Maps – one of the most unique groups to emerge from the Brit punk years of the late 70s! If you know the Maps, you'll know that they're hardly punk at all – maybe punk-ish, but able to also open up all these ... read moreCD
Fantastic work from Syn – a British group who are maybe best-remembered for giving the world future prog giants Chris Squire and Peter Banks – but who are already pretty darn great even without that later legacy of sound! The vibe here is a bit like Tomorrow – the early home of ... read moreCD
The one and only album from T2 – an incredible British group with a sound that should have been huge! Like some of the best of their generation, T2 is a trio – featuring some heavy guitars from Keith Cross, vocals by Peter Dunton, and rumbling bass from Bernard Jinks – all ... read moreCD
Warmly crafted vocal work from Erik Tagg – a Dutch singer who'd relocated to Texas by the time of this mid 70s set – singing here in English with some nicely jazzy backings on the set! There's a style here that's a bit singer/songwriter, but somewhat deeper too – one that has a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really tremendous album from The Talking Heads – and a set that moves far past their already-great early records, to really show a rhythmic complexity we never would have expected! Brian Eno is helping the group in the studio again here, and the record really shows both David Byrne and Eno' ... read moreCD
9 tracks in all, including the big hits "And She Was", "Road To Nowhere" and "The Lady Don't Mind", plus "Television Man", "Perfect World", "Creatures Of Love" and more. LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
Early genius from the Talking Heads – a set that's got a much sparer sound than most of their later work, and a surprisingly groovy feel overall! The starkness of the group's debut is still very much in place – lots of tight interplay between bass and guitar – but the rhythms are ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
A wonderfully expanded version of this early live set from The Talking Heads – a collection of recordings from the late 70s and early 80s, culled together in a format that almost makes the whole thing come across like a discreet live album! The versions of tunes here are changed up nicely ... read moreCD

The mindblowing first album by The Talking Heads – a bold statement by a very young band who'd go on to shape the sounds of the left field for generations to come! The sound is spare and very focused – maybe the first layer that David Byrne would then build up when adding more ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US pressing with Masterdisk stamp/JG etch. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has some ringwear in back.)
The first-ever anthology of work by Sharon Tandy – a mod Brit singer from the 60s, one with a really groovy sound!

Includes the songs "Genesis", "Origin Of Supernatural Probabilities", "Sunrise In The Third System", "Circulation Of Events", "White Clouds", "Song Of The Whale Part I (From Dawn)", "Le Parc", and "Horizon". CD
Tangerine Dream delivered a number of famous soundtracks in the late 70s and early 80s – but this set is one of the most obscure, and maybe one of the wildest too! The music was done for an Australian horror film, and has a very dark, moody vibe – still plenty of the Tangerine Dream ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maybe the crowning achievement for legendary Finnish prog group Tasavallan Presidentti – a set that really has things coming together in ways that would separate the group apart from the rest – in a record that's almost all composed by Jukka Tolonen, the legendary guitarist in the group! ... read moreCD

A hell of a second set from Tasavallan Presidentti – one of the coolest groups in Finland at the start of the 70s, and a combo that shows just how closely that scene's prog and jazz worlds were tied together at the time!

Tasha hails from our hometown of Chicago, but she's got a sound that's very much her own – a quality that's instantly personal, and a way of putting over a tune that's a bit unlike anyone else we can think of!

Dennis Taylor —
Dayspring ... LP Dayspring/Morning Trip (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy (reissue)...
$29.99
Tremendous acoustic guitar work from Dennis Taylor – an obscure player who issued this own album himself in a very small edition – but one we'd rank right up there with some of the bigger giants of the solo acoustic universe!

A great little record – of the type you could hardly make this well today! The Tea Company are an obscure psychedelic act, clearly concerned with all things "tea" (wink wink!) – and working in a free and open style that's a bit trippier than that of the usual psyche-pop ... read moreCD

A hell of a group from the glory days of the Bronze Records scene – a group who boast some fantastic guitar work from a young Allan Holdsworth that are more than enough to get them on the label – but who also have a richness and complexity that rivals some of the hippest prog acts on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
