Maranata

Maranata
Vampi Soul (Spain), 1978. New Copy
CD...$8.99 16.99
Sweet 70s grooving from South America – the only album ever recorded by this great little group from Uruguay! The set was done at the end of the 70s, but it's got a style that recalls the best electric work from the US and UK at the start of the decade – sort of a blend of funky easy, ... CD
Elektra/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1967. New Copy (reissue)
The Zodiac never sounded so spooky – and the album's one of the first in a trend that explored astrology with funky musical backings! The music for the set was put together by moogy maestro Mort Garson – then making a transition from being a straight easy arranger in the early 60s, to ... LP, Vinyl record album
Del-Fi/Everland (Austria), Early 60s. New Copy 2CD
An incredibly evocative record – one of the strangest of its kind, and an audio treasure that we've loved for years! Eden Ahbez first came into public prominence as the man who wrote "Nature Boy" for Nat King Cole – a dark, moody tune that was as mysterious and earthy as the ... CD
Modern Harmonic, 1960. New Copy
One of the most obscure albums ever issued by exotica king Chaino – a set that was originally only released as a reel to reel tape, and which maybe shows an even wider sonic palette that was designed for that format! All the percussion we love on other Chaino records is firmly in place, but ... LP, Vinyl record album

Hugo Montenegro

Hugo In Wonder-Land
RCA/Nature Sounds, 1974. New Copy (reissue)
The moog wizard Hugo Montenegro takes on the music of Stevie Wonder – in a blend that maybe makes the record one of the coolest that the studio maestro ever recorded! Hugo had already proven that he could groove in the 60s, and he picked up the moog at the end of the decade and started ... LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Quiet Village
Liberty/Jackpot, 1959. New Copy (reissue)
An undisputed classic in the exotica genre – and the record that yielded Martin Denny his biggest hit! The title track "Quiet Village" was originally written by Les Baxter, but it was Martin Denny's approach that really managed to send the tune over the top – using spare ... LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Hypnotique
Liberty/Jackpot, 1959. New Copy (reissue)
An amazing little set that's as compelling as the title and cover might imply – and easily one of our favorite Martin Denny albums ever! There's a sound here that is, actually, quite "hypnotique" – as Denny's core combo is expanded by some larger arrangements, Japanese ... LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Exotica (mono)
Liberty/Jackpot, 1957. New Copy
The birth of a sound and the birth of a legend – Martin Denny's first album in the Exotica series, and a record so great it named an entire genre! Denny certainly didn't invent the tropical style of easy listening that came to be known as "exotica" in the 50s – but with a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Exotic Moog
Liberty/Jackpot, 1969. New Copy (reissue)
One of the strangest albums ever from exotica maestro Martin Denny – and one of the coolest as well! The strength of the album is already broadcast by the title – as Denny plays plenty of moog in the record, mixed with his own usual flair for exotic rhythms – expanded slightly by ... LP, Vinyl record album
Liberty, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)
One of Martin Denny's greatest albums – thanks to some extra special added elements! For the record, Denny's classic quartet is augmented by a wealth of odd added percussion – including gongs, cymbals, tuned logs, steel drums, chimes, and "chromatic bamboo"! All of these ... LP, Vinyl record album
Liberty/Jackpot, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)
The second album in Denny's legendary Exotica trilogy – a set of records that provided the extreme definition of the small sub-genre that today has become the stuff of legend! Denny's still working here in his classic format – a small group with heavy piano lines, playful percussion, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Mort Garson

Didn't You Hear
Sacred Bones, 1970. New Copy (reissue)
One of the rarest albums ever from the legendary Mort Garson – an all-electronic film score, one that was originally only available on record in the lobby of a Seattle theater that was showing the film! The tracks are shorter than on some of Garson's more commercial projects of the time, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Righteous (UK), Late 50s. New Copy 2CDs
Four classic albums from one of the early masters of exotica! First up is Ritual Of The Savage – one of those must-have albums from the 50s – a super-huge record upon its initial release, and an album that pushed the genre of exotica far further than most others at the time! Before ... CD
Capitol (Japan), 1964. New Copy
Breezy bossa nova – Hollywood 60s style! The album's one of the best cut for Capitol by guitarist Laurindo Almeida – and has a sweet groovy little style that features Laurindo's lovely guitar work over some lightly dancing small combo backings that include flute, harmonica, organ, ... CD
Modern Harmonic, 1960. New Copy
One of the most obscure albums ever issued by exotica king Chaino – a set that was originally only released as a reel to reel tape, and which maybe shows an even wider sonic palette that was designed for that format! All the percussion we love on other Chaino records is firmly in place, but ... CD
Joyful Noise/Shimmy Disc, 1974. New Copy
A story of "spaceship earth" – created and performed by electronics genius Bruce Haack, ostensibly for children, but a really tripped-out set! The album's got a stark, spare feel – one that uses Haack's echoey voice alongside homemade electronics and rhythms – all in a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ferrante & Teicher

Beautiful Beautiful
United Artists, 1974. Sealed
(Still sealed with a cut corner.) LP, Vinyl record album

Perrey-Kingsley

In Sound From Way Out
Vanguard, 1966. Very Good+
One of the moogiest records of all time – a legendary LP of "electronic pop music of the future" – sourced and claimed as an influence by everyone from Stereolab to the Beastie Boys! The legendary team of Gershon Kingsley and Jean-Jaques Perry are working here in early tape ... LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Hypnotique
Liberty, Late 50s. Very Good+
An amazing little set that's as compelling as the title and cover might imply – and easily one of our favorite Martin Denny albums ever! There's a sound here that is, actually, quite "hypnotique" – as Denny's core combo is expanded by some larger arrangements, Japanese ... LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, 1969. Very Good+
A record that's definitely after our own heart – in case you couldn't tell from the title! The set has Jackie Gleason expanding his bag a bit for the late 60s – moving from the easy sound to the "Now Sound" – with the help of some cool electric sitar, pictured on the ... LP, Vinyl record album

George Milstein

PIP, Mid 70s. Sealed
(Still sealed! Includes the obi, booklet, and seed packet.) LP, Vinyl record album

(Stereo pressing. Cover has light wear.) LP, Vinyl record album

Sessions

Sessions
JBL, 1973. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
70s geekazoid hi-fi culture at it's finest! The folks at JBL put together this 2LP set as sort of a "bible" of a 70's understanding of hi-fi – and it's a weird mix of documentary discussion, speaker demonstration, and rock tracks by the likes of Alex Harvey and Hoyt Axton. Nutty, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Peter Schickele

Good Time Ticket
Vanguard, Late 60s. Very Good+
(Original stereo pressing.) LP, Vinyl record album

Vic Schoen And His Orchestra

Brass Laced With Strings
RCA, 1961. Very Good+

(With obi. Cover has some aging inside the gatefold.) LP, Vinyl record album

(With obi. Cover has a Golden Prize sticker in front and some spotty aging inside the gatefold.) LP, Vinyl record album

Ferrante & Teicher

Heavenly Sounds In Hi Fi
ABC/Paramount, 1957. Very Good+
One of the best non-Winchester albums from the team of Ferrante & Teicher – not as crazy as some of their work, but still with some good elements of the piano trickery that made them famous. Titles include "Out Of This World", "East Of The Sun", "Over The ... LP, Vinyl record album
London, 1967. Sealed
(Mono pressing.) LP, Vinyl record album
Decca (UK), 1960. Near Mint-

Everest, 1961. Very Good+
(Mono pressing. Cover has light edge wear and a half split top seam.) LP, Vinyl record album

Mariachi Brass with Chet Baker

Taste Of Tequila
World Pacific, 1966. Very Good-
A strange 60s chapter in the career of trumpeter Chet Baker – but one that we sure like a heck of a lot! These sides were recorded as an answer to the big success of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass over at A&M Records – and for the sessions, Chet's trumpet was backed by jaunty, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Karl Swoboda

Pop Goes The Zither
Philips, 1965. Near Mint-
A groovy mix of zither and 60s orchestrations – on tunes that include "Take Five", "Hard Days Night", "Days Of Wine & Roses", "Fly Me To The Moon", and "Girl From Ipanema". LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, 1967. Sealed
An incredibly groovy album from Jackie Gleason from the mid 60 – with a sound that's a lot hipper than you'd expect from the "brass" in the title! Jackie's working here with an electric bass at the bottom of the band – providing a nice bouncing rhythm that makes the tunes ... LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1955. Very Good
(Heavy blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split top seam & half split spine, light surface wear & aging. Includes the heavy inner sleeve.) LP, Vinyl record album

Jackie Gleason

Best Of Jackie Gleason
Capitol, 1950s. Sealed
(Late 60s mono Star Line pressing.) LP, Vinyl record album

Sauter - Finegan Orchestra

Adventure In Time
RCA, 1956. Very Good+
The always entertaining Sauter - Finegan Orchestra presents us with a percussion-oriented record that lapses into slightly "experimental" moments. One of the tracks, "The Minute," is a poem read by Ruth Yorke while the musicians provide some mood music. Each song gets its own ... LP, Vinyl record album
Vanguard, 1978. Near Mint-
(Cover has light surface wear and a small corner bump.) LP, Vinyl record album

Ferrante & Teicher

Springtime
United Artists, 1964. Sealed
(Mono pressing, still sealed with some remnants from a large sticker in front.) LP, Vinyl record album

Martin Denny

Enchanted Sea
Liberty, 1959. Very Good
A great album by Denny, with a nice approach that has sort of a drifting South Seas feel! The record is one of his last good ones for Liberty, and has lots of nice tracks like "My Isle Of Golden Dreams", "Beyond The Reef", "Flotsam & Jetsam", and "Cross ... LP, Vinyl record album
RCA, 1958. Very Good-
One of the most memorable Esquivel albums, and perhaps the first record that really let him hit his fantastic mix of off-beat orchestrations and spacey electronicized production! The arrangements are splendid, with echoey piano lines in the front that seem to trail off into the stratosphere. ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ferrante & Teicher

Latin Pianos (gold cover)
United Artists, 1960. Sealed
(Mono pressing. Shrinkwrap is loose at the back seam, with a small tear.) LP, Vinyl record album

Don Tiare & His Enchanting Violins

Warner, 1961. Sealed
(Stereo pressing, still sealed with a cutout hole and round sticker spot.) LP, Vinyl record album

Laurindo Almeida

Guitar From Ipanema
Capitol, 1964. Very Good
Breezy bossa nova – Hollywood 60s style! The album's one of the best cut for Capitol by guitarist Laurindo Almeida – and has a sweet groovy little style that features Laurindo's lovely guitar work over some lightly dancing small combo backings that include flute, harmonica, organ, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Pino Calvi

Romantic No 12
Ri Fi (Italy), 1980. Near Mint-
(Cover is lightly bent at the top left corner.) LP, Vinyl record album
