Killer Cha Chacha ... CD Cinedelic (Italy), 2003. New Copy Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Really wicked stuff – and the greatest album from Sam Paglia to date! Sam's really honed his classic 60s organ sound to a "T" for this one – grooving in a manner that sounds a heck of a lot like famous soundtrack work by Quincy Jones or Lalo Schifrin (no surprise, he covers ...

Pan —
Pan ... CD CBS/Cobalt Hour (Korea), 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Sweet and mellow work from ex-Beau Brummel Ron Elliott – done in a style that's a bit jazzy, a bit folksy, and with some really nice moments!
