The debut album from Friends Of Distinction – a very groovy LA harmony vocal group who really transcended the worlds of pop and soul!

(Japanese quadraphonic pressing in the foil embossed cover, with insert. Cover has some spotty aging inside the gatefold.)
A record that has some blues influences at the core, but which also really moves past that energy right away – by folding in some of the hipper, headier styles that Frijid Pink had picked up while working on the Detroit scene at the end of the 70s! The vocals are raw in a great way, and the ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(US stereo pressing on Parrot, includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner and light wear.)
A really joyous groove from Michel Fugain and his Big Bazar group – a sound that's a bit hard to describe, but which really grabs us right away! There's definitely some groovy rhythms going on in the set – and the style is kind of an updated French pop mode from the late 60s – ... (French) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Their second album – a mad masterpiece of hippie freakout from Ed Sanders, Tulip Kupferberg, and the rest – with tracks that include "Group Grope", "Dirty Old Man", "Coming Down", "Virgin Forest", "Kill For Peace", and "Frenzy". (Rock) LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with 5th Avenue address – a nice copy!)
A really cool album from The Fugs – one that almost comes across as more of a multimedia effort than their earlier records – yet still delivers all the wit and politics of those gems too! The set was recorded at the Fillmore East, and features a few spoken parts in between some songs ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Tan label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Some of the most tuneful work we've ever heard from The Fugs – tracks that almost border on pop-psyche at times, but still get nicely tripped out at other moments! Side one has the trio almost touching territory of other Reprise rock from the times – slightly psyche, slightly country, ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the most fully-formed albums from The Fugs – still quite hippy dippy, but with a focus that's sometimes missing in their other work! And despite the somewhat major label placement of the set, there's arguably even more power here than on the group's earlier indie sides – thanks ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Tri-color label stereo pressing – a great copy! Cover has a very tiny corner bump.)
Incredible early recordings by The Fugs – a set that captures the group at a time when they still had tremendous power and potential!

One of Dizzy Gillespie's hippest big band sessions ever – and one of the few dates as a leader from arranger Gil Fuller!

Peter Gabriel gets a bit bolder and more confident here in his solo role – coming out with some of the bite of his Rael character from years back, but with a tighter, more focused mode that's pretty darn great!

An album with "midwest" in the title, but one that features Arlyn Gale standing under the Brooklyn Bridge – and coming across in a really cool hybrid of singer/songwriter and more polished AOR modes!
