Marshall McLuhan/Jerome Agel

Medium Is The Massage
Columbia/Five Day Weekend, 1967. New Copy Gatefold
CD...$7.99 17.98
A real mind-trip – and an incredible document of the times – not just ideas floating around in the late 60s, but also new ways of making records too! The album is loosely based around ideas and writings from The Medium Is The Massage – McLuhan's important 1967 book, co-written ... CD
Industrial/DAIS, 1981. New Copy (reissue)
One of the rarest records to ever feature the work of groundbreaking writer and language experimentalist William S Burroughs – an album that originally came out on the Industrial Music label, home to the early work of Throbbing Gristle! Peter Cristopherson and Genesis P-Orridge worked with ... LP, Vinyl record album
Heyday Again, Late 1950s/1960s/1970s/1980s/Early 1990s. New Copy
Right from the start of his career, poet Allen Ginsberg experimented with recording and music – maybe not a surprise, because as a young beat poet, he grew up in the era when long playing records were really taking off – yet still delivered in a way that was often very different than ... CD

Martin Luther King

I Have A Dream (1929-1968)
Creed, 1963. Very Good+
Features the original address from the March on Washington from August 28, 1963. Includes speeches by King, plus Whitney Young and Roy Wilkins. LP, Vinyl record album
Pacifica, 1957. Very Good+
(Cover has some ring and edge wear, light aging, and split seams held with clear tape.) LP, Vinyl record album
Carlton, 1961. Sealed
... LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, Early 70s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
If you've ever doubted that Vincent Price was a creepy guy, you've got to hear this album! The 2LP set is a mad exploration into the world of the supernatural – with Vincent speaking on topics that include "Witch Tortures", "How To Communicate With The Spirits", "The ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ken Nordine

Grandson Of Word Jazz
Snail, 1986. Sealed
A long-overdue follow-up to Ken's last Word Jazz album for Dot – done for Nordine's own Snail Records label nearly 20 years after the last one! The style here is less "jazz" and more atmospheric than before – very much in the mode of Nordine's Word Jazz syndicated radio show ... LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Thumb, Late 50s/Early 60s/1971. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
Wild! This is an excellent compilation of material from Nordine's earlier Word Jazz albums on Dot – repackaged in a very hip version, for the hippie crowd that was rediscovering him at the time. The album includes an incredible selection of Nordine's weird productions, with lots of spacey ... LP, Vinyl record album
Carlton, 1960. Sealed
... LP, Vinyl record album
Carlton, 1961. Sealed
(Still sealed with a light sticker spot and small hole in front.) LP, Vinyl record album
California Sports Incorporated, 1971/1972. Near Mint-
(Cover has brown spots from age and is lightly bent at the bottom right corner.) LP, Vinyl record album

Severn Darden

Sound Of My Own Voice
Mercury, 1961. Near Mint- Gatefold
From hipster comedian to schlocky roles in The Planet of The Apes, Severn Darden was one of the 60s more enigmatic performers. This early album has him doing intellectual standup and skits with the help of the Second City cast – including Alan Arkin, Paul Sand, and Barbara Harris. The stuff' ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dr Milton I Levine & Melba Rae

Child's Introduction To Sex
Wonderland, 1962. Near Mint-
... LP, Vinyl record album
Map City, Early 1960s. Very Good+
(Cover has a thin stain at the opening.) LP, Vinyl record album
Wine, 1963. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
(Cover has some aging and bumped corners.) LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1964. Very Good+
A rather bizarre but totally hip record – Sidney Poitier gives dark moody readings of Plato, in his cold hip voice, with some groovy hipster jazz backing by Fred Katz, over great tracks like "Our World is a Cave" and "Women's Place in Society". The music is actually ... LP, Vinyl record album

Orson Welles/HRH Duke Of Windsor/Duchess Of Windsor

King's Story
DRG, 1980. Sealed
(Still sealed with hype sticker and bumped corners at the bottom.) LP, Vinyl record album
Carlton, 1960. Sealed

... CD
High Bridge, 2006. Used 2CD
(In the original box.) CD

Ken Nordine

Stare With Your Ears
Snail, 1979. Near Mint- Gatefold
One of Ken Nordine's trippiest albums! This was released on Ken's own Snail Records label in the late 70's, and it's got a very different feel than his classic Word Jazz LPs on Dot. There's still a lot of cool processed vocals, and weird production in which Ken talks with himself in many ... LP, Vinyl record album
