Volume 2 in this remastered series of music from the Star Trek TV show of the 60s! Features the original theme, written by Alexander Courage – plus music by Sol Kaplan and Gerald Fried, from episodes entitled "The Doomsday Machine" and "Amok Time". (Soundtracks) CD
Lost later genius from Cali guitar great Dick Dale – a set recorded in the 70s, but one that stays very faithful to the spirit of his classic 60s material on Capitol! In fact, the sound here may even be more lean and stripped-down – as the recordings were done at the classic Gold Star ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really rare quartet date, on a par with Buddy's work for Verve and MGM – with Kenny Drew on piano, Eugene Wright on bass, and Art Blakey on drums! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
A searing set of west coast psych from a very mysterious group – served up here on a record that was done as a bit of exploitation vinyl at the time, but which has gone on to achieve legendary status over the years! The set's got a raw, ragged energy right from the start – every bit as ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A legendary bit of cubop! Diz is playing here with the band that virtually invented Latin Jazz – the one that featured Chano Pozo on conga, plus great soloists like James Moody and Ernie Henry – all blowing beautifully in a style that's one of the most perfect realizations of the cubop ...

(Light blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the corners.)
Milt Jackson and JJ Johnson – working here together on 1954 session cut in New York – but some of which features contributions from the famous French pianist Henri Renaud! At this point in their career, Jackson and Johnson had a very similar modern swing – and the record makes ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Seminal session that was virtually one of the only west coast attempts to replicate the famous "cubop" mix of bebop and Latin that had been evolving over the years in the New York scene. Machito percussionists like Jose Mangual and Ubaldo Nieto join a west coast group that includes alto ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s stereo pressing, still sealed with a sticker spot and a small hole in front.)
Very cool combo work from Gerry Mulligan – and very much in the Pacific Jazz style of the time, given that Chet Baker is in the group on trumpet! There's no piano at all – just Carson Smith on bass and Larry Bunker on drums – and Mulligan is already at his modern best! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – nice and clean! Cover has light wear in one corner, but no splits and is otherwise very nice.)
An obscure west coast set – featuring some very hard-driving big band arrangements, short but with breakout solos that really keep things moving along at a good pace. Murphy wrote and arranged most of the material – cool little offbeat tunes, many with a space theme to match the cover ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono white label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split spine and half split bottom seam, light surface wear & aging.)
With Bob Efford on baritone sax, Monty Budwig on bass, Frank Capp on drums, Al Hendrickson on Guitar, Nat Pierce on piano, and Bob Cooper on tenor sax. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes GNP inner sleeve. Cover has light wear and a cutout hole.)
It's hard to overstate the influence of Max Roach and Clifford Brown on the west coast scene of the 50s – as the two players helped draw out the bop sound of LA that was quickly getting lost in the cool jazz shuffle of the time, and gave it a strength and focus that not only made the group ...

A weird little set – one that contains music from the original Mission Impossible TV show, and from the 80s version of the program, plus some bonus material! The package features tunes composed by Lalo Schifrin and John E Davis – and the modern music, while having a slightly tinny edge ... (Soundtracks) read moreCD

One of the great fake live albums of the 60s – a set that promises to be a concert performance from the title and cover, but which actually just features The Seeds playing live together in the studio!

A groundbreaking debut from The Seeds – one of those albums that seemed to come out of nowhere back in the 60s, then went onto have an undeniable influence on music for decades to come!

Really great work from trumpeter Jack Sheldon – a bigger band record that doesn't suppress his horn, and which instead really gives him a tight energy that he doesn't always have on other records! Sheldon's playing here with a pretty nice group of players – including Billy Root, who ... (Jazz) read moreCD
A great set of tracks that features Wayne's early work as a leader – all recorded for the Vee Jay label, either under his name, or with the Young Lions group. The material is fantastic, and is proof that even as a youngster, Wayne was one of jazz's best writers and players. Titles include ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Music from the TV show Lost In Space – scored in the 60s by John Williams, the guy who'd go onto make huge fortunes in the 70s for his work on Star Wars and Close Encounters.
