John Barry – The Mono Years 1957 to 1962 (3CD set) ... CD El (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy 3CD ... $18.99
The great John Barry as a young man – stepping out here on songs that are a lot more rocking than his later fame as a soundtrack composer – served up in a massive 3CD box that collects together singles for Parlophone and Columbia, plus some early rock songs from films! The style here ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
RCA/Schema (Italy), 1966. New Copy ... $19.99
Some of the most striking work we've ever heard from this legendary Italian group – and that's saying a heck of a lot, given the power of their work in the 60s and 70s! The assemblage features important avant garde sounds from Ennio Morricone – and offers up a real look at the roots of ... (Out Sound, Sound Library) read more CD
Chicago 2000/WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1978. New Copy ... $15.99
A beautiful album of keyboard-heavy tracks – issued by a small sound library label in France during the 70s, with a title that translates as "the universe of the sea"! As you might guess, there's a nice underwater vibe to the record – a sound that's similar to some of the ... read more CD
Also available L'Univers De La Mer ... LP 26.99
Athens Of The North (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $12.99
Every time we hear a new project from the team of Warren Hampshire & Greg Foat, we feel like they've raised the bar a little bit, and this homage to sound library jazz might be their best yet! Creative as they are, Hampshire & Foat don't merely cover or adapt the compositions of any ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
Also available Nightshade – Library Music Vol 1 ... LP 22.99
El (UK), 1966. New Copy ... $3.99 13.99
Totally wonderful sounds from UK soundtrack giant John Hawksworth – penned for a film on the heated World Cup of 1966, but served up in John's usual blend of jazzy styles, mod elements, and beautifully tuneful grooves! The CD presents the music with lots of snippets of dialogue from the film ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
GAD (Poland), Mid 80s. Used ... $2.99
80s keyboards sparkle and glisten wonderfully here – a mix of Roland, Yamaha, and Korg keyboards – all played by Mikolaj Hertel in a few very cool suites of instrumental tunes! The music is maybe an extension of 70s electronic sound library modes, but also colored with some of the ... read more CD
Penny (Italy), 2019. New Copy ... $18.99
Heavy funk from La Batteria – an Italian combo who are strongly influenced by the best cop/crime soundtracks of the 70s – and by the wealth of Italian sound library recordings as well! There's a fantastic old school vibe to the set – heavy drums, riffing guitar, funky basslines, ... read more CD

Irma (Italy), Early 70s. Used ... $9.99
Incredible! We know you must be sick of hearing us rave about all of the great funky music from Italy in the 70's, but hear us out, and hear this one out especially! Marc 4 were one of the best bands of the Italian scene, and they were a bit more musically talented, with heavier jazz chops, than ... read more CD
(CONDITION NOTE: digipack has heavy wear, including partial tears at the spine. Tray has been replaced with peeled spots visible underneath. Priced accordingly.)
Polskie Nagrania (Poland), Mid 70s. Used ... $11.99
Funky genius from Poland's Jerzy Milian – a vibes player we normally know in much smaller settings, but who sounds great here in an MPS-styled big band album from the 70s! The tracks are relatively short and punchy – all with some great rhythms and a fair bit of drum breaks too – ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
WRWTFWW (Switzerland), Early 70s. New Copy ... $16.99
Two unreleased soundtracks from electronic genius Bernard Parmegiani – both surprisingly tuneful, although also equally abstract! The songs for Les Soleils De L'Ile De Paques are mostly in a cyclical mode – like more condensed versions of some of the long-spun keyboard experiments by ... read more CD

Revolucion Electronica En Musica Venezolana ... CD Pharaway Sounds (Spain), 1971. New Copy ... $16.99
They're not lying with the title of this one – as the set's definitely a revolution in Venezuelan music – a very unique album that blends together folkloric elements with 70s electronics, but all in a way that sounds way different than just the sum of its parts! There's some acoustic ... read more CD

Sonorama (Germany), 1976. New Copy ... $18.99
A funky fusion classic! Second Direction are certainly not a household name – and the record has even more obscure origins than most, given that it was originally done as a small sound library project. Yet the quality of the set has given it a surprisingly wide reach with collectors and ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
Also available Four Corners (with bonus tracks) ... LP 32.99
BBE (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
The cover looks gothic, but the sound is plenty darn groovy – a sweet set of sound library instrumentals from the 70s scene in Paris – most of them served up with an upbeat, clubby sort of vibe! Yan Tregger may not be one of those names that immediately comes to the lips of underground ... read more CD
Also available Catchy ... LP 22.99
BBE (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
An underground funky gem – one that never made it past the collections of the elite sound library audience in the 70s – but which is well deserving of global acclaim! Yan Tregger works here in this style that's every bit as funky as his contemporaries on bigger library labels, but ... read more CD
Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1968. New Copy Gatefold ... $19.99
We're not entirely sure what "fischiando" means, but we can definitely testify that the album lives up to the "beat" in its title – those kind of groovy, mod tunes we love so much in Italian 60s soundtracks from the great Piero Umiliani! This set's even more obscure than ... read more CD
Easy Tempo (Italy), 1971. Used ... $11.99
A gem of a record from the great Piero Umiliani – and maybe one of his funkiest, grooviest projects ever! The set is more sound library funk than soundtrack – and features some very strong keyboard work in the lead on most track – including Fender Rhodes, moog, Hammond, and even ... read more CD
Also available To-Day's Sound ... LP 29.99(Out of print earlier pressing. Please note the tray card has a very light stain on the right side but everything else is in great shape.)
Beat (Italy), 1976. New Copy ... $16.99
A wonderful sound library set from the great Piero Umiliani – and a record that's filled with some of his coolest electronics ever! The feel of the record is very much in keeping with the image on the cover – kind of sci fi, but kind of playful too – a wonderful blend of ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD

Moog Recordings Library, 2018. New Copy ... $14.99
Chris Watson's got a long legacy of experimental electronics – including work in The Hafler Trio and Cabaret Voltaire – and that certainly comes to bear here, as he turns out one of the noisiest sets we've heard from the Moog Recordings Library! Tracks have lots of those earthy ... read more CD
Chappell/Vocalion (UK), 1970s. New Copy ... $18.99
Dramatic music, but pretty darn groovy music as well – served up here in a set of work from the under-reissued Chappell sound library in the UK! The work here is full of jazzy currents, but often set to tight larger arrangements that have all the best appeal of the sorts of soundtrack ... read more CD
Ata Tak (Germany), 1999. Used ... $1.99
A very strange record that's a wild weird blend of easy listening tunes and avant classical bits – all recorded by Marvin Martin, and put together in a lovingly sexy package by German art photographer Charles Wilp! Ostensibly, the music was originally compiled to go with a package that Wilp ... read more CD

Die Schachtel (Germany), 2018. New Copy ... $22.99
A fantastic book released in conjunction with an Italian exhibition dedicated to Marino Zuccheri – the legendary sound engineer who helped composers like Luigi Nono, John Cage, and Bruno Maderna realize their musical visions in the recording studio! The book is in English throughout, and ... (Books, Sound Library) read more CD
Buried Treasure (UK), 1970s/2018. New Copy ... $8.99

Numero, Mid 80s. New Copy ... $12.99 15.98
The world of moogy music first exploded back in the late 60s – when artists like Bruce Haack, Perry-Kingsley, and others were making all these wonderfully weird records that featured heavy analogue electronics and other playful elements!

Croydon Municipal (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $3.99 13.99
