Herb Alpert, 2018. New Copy ... $7.99 13.99
Herb Alpert remakes himself again – taking all the best tunes from his classic years on A&M records, then fitting them to contemporary grooves – all at a level that's a bit like some of the Verve Remixed projects from years back, but even better! These aren't remixes, but new ... read more CD

Miss Calypso – Maya Angelou ... CD Liberty/Rev-Ola (UK), 1957. New Copy ... $6.99 13.99
Wild! Long before she was a hipster poet, and even longer before she was the Poet Laureate, Maya cut this early album of calypso tracks for Liberty – with a rootsy sound that's actually pretty darn nice! Maya wrote a larger number of the tracks, and backing is by Tommy Tedesco on guitar and ... (Vocalists, Now Sound) read more CD
Capitol/Now Again, 1968. New Copy ... $14.99 15.98
One of a handful of amazing albums recorded by David Axelrod towards the end of the 60s – really stunning, genre-breaking music that was years ahead of its time – and which has only finally been getting its due in more recent decades! At the time of the record, Axelrod was a house ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD

Capitol/Now Again, 1969. New Copy ... $14.99 15.98
One of the greatest albums ever by studio genius David Axelrod!

Kapp/Elemental (Spain), 1965. New Copy ... $14.99
A great batch of early work from Burt Bacharach – one of the first albums to be issued under his own name, and proof that Mr B was head and shoulders above most of the other arrangers and composers of his time! At some level, the style here is a bit more traditional than some of Burt's later ... read more CD

Bruton Music/Vocalion (UK), 1978/1979. New Copy 2 CDs ... $19.99
Hard-driving work from UK sound library hero Brian Bennett – an artist who gave us so much great funky work at the start of the 70s, and who's still going strong here at the other end of the decade! Both records are mighty nice – a mixture of familiar funk with some deeper tones that ... (Sound Library, Now Sound) read more CD
Phase 4/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1966. New Copy ... $9.99 15.99
A sweet little take on the TV theme world of the 60s – served up by Brit maestro Frank Chacksfield at a level that's maybe a little bit more groovy than some of his other records from the time!

Mort Garson —
Mother Earth's Plantasia ... CD Homewood/Sacred Bones, 1976. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
One of the coolest, moogiest records we've ever heard from Mort Garson – and that's saying a lot, given that the man gave us the Wozzard Of Iz and a host of moog-based astrological records too!

(Includes the original Mother Earth Plant Care booklet!)
Mercury/BSX, 1976. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
One of the most ambitious records ever made by electronic wizard Patrick Gleeson – a huge talent on the moog and Arp, whose work was featured on key 70s jazz albums by Charles Earland, Joe Henderson, Bennie Maupin, and Herbie Hancock – and that's saying a lot, given that Herbie already ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD
Intrada, 1968. Used ... $6.99
The hard-to-find soundtrack for the first Planet Of The Apes film! The album has a nice mix of dramatic orchestral scoring with some other tracks that have a cool jingly jangly noisy sound. Jerry Goldsmith did some great work for this one, and although the score is dramatic, it's also got some ... (Soundtracks, Now Sound) read more CD

Limelight/Vintage Classics (Italy), 1966. Used ... $26.99
Unbelievable! This is one of the maddest Roland Kirk albums of all time – and it's also one of the hardest to find!

Verve (Japan), 1964. Used ... $12.99
A dream of a record from Gary McFarland – lightly jazzy instrumentals with a warm bossa nova undercurrent!

Jungle Obsession ... CD Neuilly/Fifth Dimension (Germany), 1971. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Mad mad work from the great Nino Nardini – one of the greatest keyboard players to ever grace the sound library scene! This album was never officially issued, but is an incredibly strong bit of "commercial music", created initially for use by radio and TV stations, but just as good ...

Atlantic, 1993. Used ... $4.99
Far Eastern Sunshine (Germany), 1975. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
One of the greatest albums ever by one of the most compelling figures in Indian music!

Capitol, 1960s. Used ... $2.99
Telarc, 1996. Used ... $1.99
King (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... $9.99
Not sure what they mean by "Ameriachi" in the title – but from the sound of the music, there's definitely a great A&M Records-styled mix of jazz, Latin, and South American modes! The set begins with a set of cookers from drummer Hideo Shiraki – working with an excellent ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD
(SHMCD pressing.)
El (UK), Mid 50s. New Copy ... $6.99 13.99

El (UK), 1958. New Copy ... $3.99 13.99
A pretty groovy album of instrumental tracks from arranger Wally Stott – an artist who'd later craft the beautiful backdrops for some of Scott Walker's solo records!

Motown (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $13.99
An overlooked moment of 70s genius from The Supremes – and from the great Jimmy Webb as well – given that the pop studio genius wrote, arranged, and produced the entire album!

(Part of the Motown Did It First Series!)
RCA (Japan), 1960. Used ... $19.99
Chorus vocals and jazzy orchestrations – a real standout from the classic HiFi years at RCA, and the kind of a set that makes us say "Mmmmm . . . Nice!" The record's the only one we've ever seen by Bob Thompson, but it's a real doozy – a set that blends together mostly female ... read more CD
Also available Mmm Nice! ... LP 3.99(Out of print. Includes obi.)

Happy Together – The Very Best Of The Turtles ... CD Shout Factory, Late 60s. Used ... $8.99
RGE/Discobertas (Brazil), 1963. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The Solovox organ sounds mighty great here – very different than 60s Hammond, and even the up-and-coming Lowrey – as Brazilian keyboardist Ubirajara plays the instrument with all sorts of sounds and effects, but all without ever losing the groove of the tunes! Ubirajara almost has the ... (Brazil, Now Sound) read more CD
King (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... $9.99
Is that barock or baroque? Whatever the case, the album's a pretty darn groovy affair – twin flutes from Sadao Watanabe and Akira Miyazawa – two of Japan's best reedmen at the end of the 60s – working here with some sweet arrangements that mix classical roots with mod ...

(SHMCD pressing.)
Numero, Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy 3CD ... $26.99 34.98
An insane new chapter in the mighty legacy of the Numero Group – not the rare soul, obscure psych, or underground folk the label has covered with other releases – but instead a huge batch of under-discovered gems from the exotica scene of the postwar years – essentially the ...
