Columbia, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A real standout set from Mose – one of his few early sides for Columbia, and a great one at that!

Terry Callier's first album – recorded in 1964 when he was a wee teen hanging around Chicago's folk scene!

Die Ladykiller (Germany), 1967. Very Good+ ... $23.99
A really cool, really groovy album from the German scene of the late 60s – almost like some small club jazz combo, working in the small hours of the evening – with a lineup that includes a fair bit of organ, plus guitar and vibes – and a number of contributions from female singer ...
