Titles include "Full Circle", "Sweet Mary", "Born To Rock N Roll", "Borrowing Time", and "Cowgirl In The Sand". LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Vinyl has a foggy edge that plays with some surface noise on Side 2. Cover has some edge wear, a cutout notch, and small peeled spots from sticker removal in front.)
One of the group's greatest moments – thanks in part to sweet Cali production from Gary Usher, and vocals from Gram Parsons! The vibe here is really a mix of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers – and titles include "You Ain't Going Nowhere", "Hickory Wind", "L ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really great record from David Byrne – songs and spoken bits that were originally designed to be used in Robert Wilson's Civil Wars – but which work great on their own! Byrne is completely charming in the spoken bits – with a sense of dry wit mixed with humanism, not that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl has just a few light sleeve marks, but cover has some fraying at the spine.)

A lovely set of modern French work from Camille – done in a style that mixes the earthy with the electronic – in a way that's vaguely reminiscent of the modes used by Benjamin Biolay or Keren Ann, but which has a spirit that's clearly its own as well! Camille has a very strong vocal ... (French, Rock)read moreCD
The pairing of Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb is probably one of the greatest ideas ever in the history of pop music – as you'll hear on the album's title track, "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". Glen's original hit version of the song – written by a wee Jimmy at a young age ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label stereo pressing. Cover has small seam splits and light surface wear.)
Has there ever been a pop tune as sublime as "Wichita Lineman"? We don't think so – and Glen's original version is still the best that's ever been recorded! That track kicks off a great set that includes some other wonderful pop covers – like "If You Go Away", ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear.)
6 song EP – titles include "Heart", "Never Go Back", "Seven Languages", "Ice Cream Every Day", "Processional", and "Photograph". LP, Vinyl record album
Heady, hypnotic, ominous, and hard-grooving early Can – a lost set that was recorded in the late 60s, but not actually released until the early 80s – and some of the earliest, brawniest Can jams from the Malcolm Mooney years! The record may not have the name-checking power as the other ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Stunning live material from Can – a never-issued performance from 1975, and very much in the same spirit as their excellent release of concert material from a Stuttgart show of the same year – in that the tracks are long, free-flowing, and even more jamming than their work on record! ... read moreCD
The groundbreaking debut of Can – a record that came out on 1969, and is every bit a part of its time – but also light-years ahead of so many of its contemporaries, with a quality that's kept the music intensely resonant over the decades! The songs are long, jamming, and full of plenty ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition on Monster Sky vinyl and with download!)
The second album from Can – and one that the group maybe likes to think of as more of a bridge between Monster Movie and Tago Mago – tracks done for a variety of film projects, but which also still really show the quick evolution of the group at the time! Some of the work still ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$32.9938.99
A gem of a record from the Italian prog scene of the early 70s – exactly the kind of well-crafted album that really set the scene apart from the rest!

Not everyone digs the later Captain and crew, but the early 80s efforts have finally gotten their just props after all these years – and we'll we'll come right out and say that this second to last album before Don Van Vliet hung up the music for painting has always sounded great to us! The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a "special" sticker on one corner.)
A seminal moment in leftfield music – maybe the crowning achievement of Captain Beefheart, and a landmark collaboration with Frank Zappa as well! Zappa produced, and gave the group plenty of room to stretch out on this double-length set done for his Bizarre Records imprint – which ... read moreCD
One of best ever records by gonzo rock genius Captain Beefheart and his incredible Magic Band – the proper follow up to Trout Mask Replica – and they;re still at the height of their powers!

An incredible album of electronic music – and one that definitely lives up to its title, as every selection is played live – quite a unique thing as the set was recorded at a time when programming was really beginning to take hold! In a way, Jeff Carney is evoking that first great ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(First-ever vinyl release – beautifully done with a heavy booklet of notes!)
A really fantastic album from trumpeter Ian Carr and his legendary Nucleus group – a combo who are really right on the money here, finding their own sort of space at a level that's very different than some of the other rock/jazz projects on the UK scene at the time!

Maybe one of the few cases where a one-off record by an actor turned out to be a surprisingly classic set – maybe partly because Keith Carradine here seems to really evoke his singing character in the film Nashville, which is where the title track originated – but also because the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Classic debut record from The Cars where the radio hits just keep coming at you – including "Just What I Needed", "Good Times Roll", "My Best Friend's Girl", "You're All I've Got Tonight", "Bye Bye Love", "Moving In Stereo" and more! LP, Vinyl record album

Maybe the first-ever collection to really get at the huge scope of work handled by the great John Carter – an important figure in the UK music scene of the 60s, but one who worked in a variety of guises, and never got as much exposure in the spotlight as he might! Carter was a hell of a ... read moreCD
Johnny Cash's first record for Rick Rubin's American Recordings label – and a late career reviving masterpiece for the great, distinctly American legend.

An incredible album of Eastern instrumentation and funky rock breaks – served up as one of the headiest studio sessions to come from the LA scene of the late 60s!

A slightly headier sound than before from Chad & Jeremy – music that's still in a great mix of Brit Invasion and Sunshine Pop, but which also shows a somewhat deeper sensibility too – a desire to reach past the simpler pop modes that first got the pair going here in the US!

A good deal of these tracks are ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The third album from the mighty Chase – proof that the group was still going strong several years after their groundbreaking debut! The grooves here are almost tighter than before – a bit more complicated instrumentally, with some of the trumpets backed off a bit, to leave more room ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Orange label pressing with 1B/1E matrix and Sterling stamp. Cover has ring and edge wear.)
A romper that shows Chubby Checker at his best – a groove that's possibly less familiar than his twisting hit, spun out over a whole range of hip early 60s dance modes! There's a surprising amount of early Philly Soul in the set at times, thanks to arrangements from Dave Appell – and ... (Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
