A hell of a record from a Japanese band who answered to nobody else – a combo who could come on with the ferocity of James Gang or some of their contemporaries, but also hit some even wilder, more experimental moments too – something they definitely do here in the space of the double-len ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Great 2LP reissue – with the paper wraparound image of the original!)
A landmark album from Skip Spence – the onetime lead singer of Moby Grape, cast out of the group on his own by the time of this debut solo album – a record that's as powerful as it is fragile, and which has been the one lasting musical legacy of the man himself! The record almost sunk ... read moreCD
(Out of print Sundazed edition – with loads of bonus tracks!)
A sweet little set from the Jeremy Spencer Band – a record that might have had more of a singer/songwriter vibe, or an AOR approach, had it been recorded a few years before, but which instead comes off here in a really unique blend of rock and disco! There's plenty of guitar leads on the ... read moreCD
A great second step for the Spencer Davis Group – working here with Hammond player Eddie Hardin, who strongly steps in to replace the departed Steve Winwood! LP, Vinyl record album

(Stereo pressing. Cover has tiny corner bumps, but is great overall!)
A real treasure of sweet harmony pop from the late 60s – and the kind of record that broke big on the blue-eyed soul scene! The title hit – "More Today Than Yesterday" – is a familiar number that still sounds great to our ears. And the rest of the records got a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing – 1A/1B. Cover is bumped at the top right corner.)
The crowning achievement of Spirit – a wonderful blend of many musical strands at once – and a set so successful for the group, you probably could have found in any college dorm room in the early 70s!

(Brown label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear.)
An onslaught of fuzz from the reformed version of Spooky Tooth – a group that has Gary Wright very firmly back in the lead on vocals, and the new addition of Mick Jones on guitar – whose lead lines give the group a whole new sense of power! Wright and Jones worked together in ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The album where Bruce Springsteen really settles in as The Boss – gritty, chest-pumping anthems all the way here on this one! Born In The USA is so exuberant and full of life, even when Bruce is angry –as he is on the title track – his charisma is so strong that you'd be ... read moreCD
The starkest, sparest ever by Bruce Springsteen – sans accompaniment for the most part, having famously opted to release the haunting guitar, voice and harmonica demos as the actual album – and it's devastatingly strong to this day! The hallmark facet is that it's a largely solo ... read moreCD

$29.9934.99
Prime classic Springsteen double album, circa 1980!

Definitely a creative high ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Really beautiful work from Stackridge – an early set, and one that's got the group working in more prog-oriented territory overall – yet still with a tightness to the tunes that avoids any side-long jams or solos that overwhelm the vocals and melody! Instrumentation includes bits of ... read moreCD

The second Steely Dan album in the last three years, and only their third in the previous 20!
