Catalyse ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
Fierce sounds from Ame Son – one of the most important French groups at the start of the 70s, and, as the title implies, an outfit who seemed to catalyze all the best elements going on at the time! The tunes are long, and relatively freewheeling – and instrumentation can get mighty ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The Art Ensemble at the height of their powers – really letting loose on the Parisian scene of the late 60s, where they found a great audience for all the new ideas they'd been brewing up back home! The album's definitely one that has the group's unique ethos coming into focus – that ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Mu Second Part ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
Don Cherry really breaks out here on his classic Mu sessions from France – using the new freedoms of post-68 Paris to explore themes at a level that would set the tone for generations to come! The album's very spare, and very improvised – with Cherry on pocket trumpet, piano, and ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of numerous posthumous live sides, capturing a great early 60s performance by Trane in a quintet setting. Eric Dolphy joins the classic quartet of Tyner, Jones, Workman and Trane for a lenghty reading of "My Favorite Things" and the contemplative numbers "Blue Train", " ...

(Includes obi! Cover has some very light aging, but is nice overall.)
A wonderful live set, recorded in Paris in 1962 – and featuring the quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones. The set features three long Coltrane standards – "Impressions", "Afro Blue", and "Naima" – all done in that beautiful ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A fantastic set from Aynsley Dunbar – the drummer who's worked famously with a number of other key artists on both the US and UK scenes – but an artist who always seems to bring something special to the mix when he is a leader! Aynsley's pictured on the cover behind a massive set of ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Freedom At Last ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
One of the few rock albums on the BYG/Actuel label – and a nice one at that! The group's an early spinoff from the very first lineup of Procol Harum, but by the time this album was recorded the only thing the groups shared was drummer Bobby Harrison. The sound is stripped down blues rock ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has some slight waviness, and a small mark near the top – but is nice overall. Vinyl is great, but has a very short click on side two.)

Temporarily Out Of Stock
A collection of recordings pulled from sessions in 1946 and 1949 – with personnel that includes Al Cohn, Max Roach, Shelly Manne, and Zoot Sims. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ring and edge wear, small blemishes, spots of gloss separation at the spine, bent corner at the bottom left, and a small center split in the bottom seam.)
Really unique material from Sun Ra – a pair of recordings that were initially circulated much more strongly than some of his Saturn Records material, thanks to the power of the BYG/Actuel label in the early 70s – but tracks that actually come from a variety of different sessions that Ra ...

A rare live set – recorded in Algiers during the Panafrican Festival in 1969, featuring a set of work that is some of Shepp's rootsiest of the 60s! The recording features a core group of Shepp, Grachan Moncur, Clifford Thorton, and Dave Burrell – all joined by a host of Algerian and ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Seminal work from the duo of Archie Shepp and Bill Dixon – easily one of the greatest modern jazz pairings of the 60s! If you only know Shepp from his later work, you'll hear something very different here – as his tenor's often brought into tight focus with the trumpet of Dixon – ...

Outrageously tripped out, hypnotic funky psychedelia from Vangelis Papathanassiou – wholly amazing numbers from the late 60s & Early 70 – BYG sessions that range from ultra spacey psyche to more keyboard flavored proggy grooves! Two of the tracks are credited to a collaborative ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
With selections by Charles A Matson's Creole Serenaders, Bernie Young's Creole Jazz Band, and Wade's Moulin Rouge Orchestra. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed with a British Import sticker and a large portion of the shrink missing from the top right and in back. Cover has bent corners and light wear where exposed.)
A really great collection of work from the legendary BYG/Actuel label – home not just to the famous avant jazz recordings that have made the company a legend, but also a host of other unusual sounds that don't often get the exposure they deserve! This collection finally gives that full range ... (Funky Compilations) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
