Tinkling pianos at Christmas time – a sweet seasonal set from the legendary Ronnie Aldrich – issued by the Phase 4 label back in the 60s! The sound here is perhaps a bit more sentimental than some of Ronnie's other albums – but that's more than excusable, given the setting – ... (Holiday Music) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Great music to the film Nine Hours To Rama – a thriller about Ghandi's assassination, set to musical themes that mix 60s dramatic scoring with some elements of Indian music! Arnold's score is nicely serious in parts, but also has some more driving, percussive sections too – bits of ... (Soundtracks) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some ring and edge wear, wide clear tape holding the bottom seam, some sticker remnants near the top, and some notes in pen and a promo sticker in back.)

A sweet little set of funky club tracks – produced by T Life with a similar feel to his own work of the time! The Becks have all the usual traits of a 70s "family" group – a cohesive spirit that helps them get past the fact that some of the members of the family aren't as ...

(Wide band stereo pressing with deep groove – 1D/1D – in a blue back cover. Vinyl has some press flaw bumps. Cover has light wear, some aging, and splitting in the spine.)
Both Phase 4 and Stanley Black have made their share of snoozy LPs, but this is not one of them! The label lists the talent as "Stanley Black with Women's Voices", and boy do those gals give his music a kick. Their spooky chorus haunts these exotic ditties, and ally Stanley's sound much ...

An incredible collection of work from Bowie's early years on Deram – the first full album, plus lots of cool singles too – all brought together in a unique 2LP set from the early 70s, when his star was rising as Ziggy Stardust! We love this material, and it's a key part of the David ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
No holiday for Ruby Braff – not when he's working so hard to make a record like this sound so great! The session's an overlooked gem recorded for Bethlehem in the 50s – and it's got Ruby's trumpet stepping out strongly with a larger group arranged by Bob Wilber – in a great mix ...

Jazzy musings, lots of weird instrumental touches, and players who include Tony Coe on tenor, Pete King on flute and alto, Henry Lowther on trumpet, Frank Rocotti on congas, and Rubert Hine on Arp! (Rock) LP, Vinyl record album
A stunner of a set from Caravan – and a record that we'd stand right next to some of the bigger albums of the early 70s prog generation in the UK! The instrumentation is fantastic –schooled in an earlier mod era, but turned towards more ambitious ends – yet still with a sense of ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A bit of a shift in lineup for Caravan – but a set that has the group stepping out in all their fantastic proggy glory! This time around, Steve Miller provides some incredible work on electric piano, organ, and electric harpsichord – and the set also features some guest soprano sax ...

(Blue label pressing with Bell Sound/SF etch. A nice copy!)
No group's work was more adaptable to groovy orchestral arrangements than John, Paul, George & Ringo – and Chacksfield is well beyond being merely up to task, and this set is loads of groovy fun.

Cowsills —
On My Side ... LP London, 1971. Very Good+ ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Wonderfully mature work from The Cowsills – a set that's light years from their initial roots as a kid group, even though those records were pretty darn nice too! The record's still got the sextet working with well-crafted harmonies, but with deeper voices, and a deeper sound that seems to ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

For everyone who wasn't there the first time around, Shadow was kind enough to compile his early MoWax material, released originally as 12" singles. Unfortunately none of the really early, really hard to get stuff is here, but cuts like "Influx" and "Hindsight" are still ... (Hip Hop) read moreCD
The second album from one of the most unique voices in British music in the 60s – a really sublime little set that moves beyond familiar folk, rock, and pop – to put Marianne Faithfull in a mighty special place that's all her own! Right from the very first note of her voice, Marianne's ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A real gem from the great Dick Farney – no vocals, just his talents on piano – in a tight trio with bass and drums! Titles include "Brandenburg Gate", "Our Love Is Here To Stay", "Three To Get Ready", and "Besame Mucho" – all played with a ... (Brazil) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A wonderful album from this legendary Brazilian singer – and probably one of his best-ever! Farney began his career as a warm romantic vocalist in earlier pop years, but on this great set, he's emerging as a talented jazz singer, on a level with Leny Andrade or Elis Regina. The ...

$6.99
A surprisingly nice album from Erroll – recorded with an easily grooving, freshly soulful feel, one that's a bit like some of George Shearing's work for MPS at the time. The group's a great one – with Grady Tate on percussion, Bob Cranshaw on Fender bass, and Jose Mangual on congas ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Al Green explores your mind – then moves onto your heart, your soul, and everything in between!

Out Of Stock
Easily one of the greatest records ever from the Keef Hartley Band – and certainly the group's jazziest! The album's awash in great horn parts that dance along beautifully with the rootsier vocals of the set – sung by guitarist Miller Anderson, in a rough-edged style that has some ...

Herrmann's back in fine form on this mid 70s score for a Brian DePalma thriller – lots of swirling orchestral themes, handled here with a good degree of space, which makes the stronger musical statements really pack a punch!

First Album ... LP London/King (Japan), 1976. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
Not actually the first album by Donna Hightower – given that she cut some great blues-tinged material for Capitol Records in the 50s – but a set that really captures the singer in that strong run she had on the European scene of the 70s – the material appears to have been recorded ...

Hip 70s work from Stan Kenton – a set recorded live in the UK in 1972, in the best modern style he was using at the time! As with some of Kenton's other excellent 70s sessions, the players on the records are lesser-known than on his classic sets – but all are extremely well-suited to ...

Beautifully sophisticated vocal work by one of Brazil's greatest singers at the end of the 60s.

Possibly one of the best-remembered albums by John Mayall's legendary Blues Breakers combo – thanks to vocals and guitar from a young Eric Clapton!

(Blue label stereophonic pressing with Bell Sound stamp. Cover has fully split seams, surface wear, a few stains, and a mark from sticker removal.)
A definite diary of this unique British combo of the 60s – and a set that's arguably one of the band's bluesiest to date! The set features live recordings from 1967 – most very long and stretched-out, with a feel that's arguably even more rootsy than any American blues of the time ...

A killer album from one of the most legendary versions of John Mayall's Blues Breakers – a quartet that features drummer Aynsley Dunbar, bassist John McVie, and lead guitarist Peter Green – who's also singing a fair bit on the album as well!

An incredible first album from The Moody Blues – way way different than any of their later high-concept work, and much more in the best soul and R&B-drenched material of the UK mod scene of the time!
