Miles Davis with Sonny Stitt —
Live In Paris – 1960 ... LP Fremeaux & Associates/Return To Analog (Canada), 1960. New Copy 2LP ...
Out Of Stock
Rare work from a sometimes-overlooked chapter in the career of Miles Davis – a time when Sonny Stitt was briefly filling the tenor sax role that was more famously held by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter! Stitt in any group is always a treat – and here, working with Miles, he turns in ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Completely sublime work from Beverly Glenn Copeland – a really unique artist who's almost a genre unto herself – and who sings here in a mix of folk, jazz, and soul – maybe resonant with work at the time by Terry Callier or Nina Simone, but every bit as individual as the best from ...

Sonny Greenwich —
Sun Song ... LP Radio Canada/Return To Analog (Canada), 1974. New Copy (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
A gem of a record from the great Sonny Greenwich – an open-toned guitarist with a style that's unlike anyone else we can think of – a Canadian player who never got much exposure down here in the US, but who really stands apart from most of the jazz guitarists of his generation! There's ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the greatest moments ever from pianist Sadik Hakim – a player most people know for his contribution to the American bop scene of the late 40s – but an artist who grew even more strongly during his later years in Montreal! This album's a real highlight from that overlooked time ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy Hyacinthe ... LP Discogram/Return To Analog (Canada), 1979. New Copy (reissue)...
$22.9924.99
Jimmy Hyacinthe is posed on the cover like some 70s bluesman, but his music here is much more global overall – plenty of grooves that echo his origins in the Ivory Coast, but handled with qualities that are electric and a bit funky too! The rhythms almost feel Caribbean at times, especially ... (Global Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Les Differents —
Les Differents ... LP Return To Analog (Canada), 1967. New Copy (reissue)...
$18.9924.99
Fantastic fuzz from a French Canadian combo of the 60s – one of the coolest garage bands we've ever heard from up north at the time, romping here with a style that's equal parts Sunset Strip and some of the hipper Parisian groups of the time! Lyrics are all in French, and the production has ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A record with a sexy cover and a slinky sound to match – the rare second album from the cool French instrumental combo Les Jaguars – a 60s group who start in modes that resemble American surf guitar, but really take off into some great directions of their own! The style here is ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Love Cry Want (Larry Young/Joe Gallivan/Stephen Nicholas) —
Love Cry Want ... LP Lion/Return To Analog, 1972. New Copy (reissue)...
$22.99
Rare material that was originally recorded in 1972 by organist Larry Young – some of his most outside material ever, and done with a bunch of young musicians who wail on all of these weird electronic instruments! The set's way wilder even than any of Young's albums that were issued at the ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maneige —
Les Porches ... LP Harvest/Return To Analog (Canada), 1975. New Copy (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
Wonderfully sensitive sounds from this really unique group – an instrumental combo, but one who don't really play jazz – and who also avoid some of the more jamming indulgences of some of their prog contemporaries too! Part of the special blend in their sound is the way they can work ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maneige —
Libre Service ... LP Polydor/Return To Analog (Canada), 1978. New Copy (reissue)...
$19.9923.99
Great work from Maneige – a French Canadian group who work in an instrumental mode that's partly jazz, and partly prog – but very much their own sort of vibe! The group had already cut some other excellent records before this one, and they're razor-sharp throughout – tight, but ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maneige —
Ni Vent Ni Nouvelle ... LP Polydor/Return To Analog (Canada), 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
Maneige maybe have a bit more fusion here than on their earliest albums, but they still also offer up plenty of instrumental rock elements as well – tight work from all the members of the group, often focused in a rhythmic way, and with breakout solos on guitar and alto sax! Some of the more ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Thelonious Monk —
Live In Paris 1961 ... LP Fremeaux & Associates/Return To Analog (Canada), 1961. New Copy ...
Out Of Stock
Fantastic work from Thelonious Monk – a superbly-recorded live set from early 60s Paris – done with his legendary quartet with Charlie Rouse on tenor! The music here is wonderful – tracks that are often quite long, and stretched out nicely from the Columbia Records material by ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Octobre —
Les Nouvelles Terres ... LP Les Disques Zodiaque/Return To Analog (Canada), 1974. New Copy (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
A Canadian prog masterpiece from this key 70s group – and a record that's got some nicely understated elements that almost feel a bit more like some of the best European electric jazz acts of the time! There's definitely vocals on the record – sung by Pierre Flynn – but his use ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Seompi may not have been the first group to bring some wilder sounds to the scene down in Texas – but they're definitely one that are years ahead of their time, and work with a doom-heavy approach here that's very different than more conventional psych and fuzz! There's a very heady vibe to ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Peter Tessier turned plenty of knobs to make a record this great – which is maybe no surprise, given that he worked as an engineer in the Canadian branch of RCA Records in the early 70s! Pete definitely makes that legacy work for him – with really wonderful arrangements and sharp ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
