Of all of John Cage's work the stuff that still stands up extremely well for us is his prepared piano compositions. The sound that Cage forged on the instrument is still incredibly striking, and recordings of the technique are not always that easy to come by. This 2LP set on Tomato represents ...

(Original pressing. Cover has a cutout hole and a stuck gatefold.)
Dick Gregory at his most righteous – recorded live at the Bronx Community College, and speaking on topics that include The Black Panthers, the Chicago 7, Black Power, Money, Patriots, Riots, and "Checking Out Whites". Less funky than political – which actually makes it a lot ... (Comedy) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

King Albert ... LP Tomato, 1977. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A tight date from 1977, and one that follows nicely in the spirit of King's later Stax sides, but with a slightly smoother groove. There's a bit of the Detroit 70s mode going on in the set – that rough-and-smooth quality that you'd find on a Don Davis production, which proves to be a ... (Blues) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Quite a big album for Annette Peacock – and a set that helped break her into a much wider audience than before! The album's got a quirky electric style that's years ahead of its time – a blend of Peacock's older jazz roots with some of the artier styles that would show up much more ...

Fairly loft-oriented jazz session from Sam Rivers – but with a more focused approach than you might initially imagine.

A stone 70s classic from Carlos Santana's lesser-known brother – a set that effortlessly brings together Latin and soul, often with the same sort of vibe as the Coke Escovedo records on Mercury from the same time!

A pretty much flawless collection of tunes from Townes Van Zandt's most loved album from the late 60s to late 70s – a different tracklist from earlier Best Ofs, and a set that really does serve up a treasure trove of achingly beautiful songs! Includes some of the best material from Our Mother ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The great debut of Townes Van Zandt! On the level of pure songwriting, it's masterful – Townes was pretty much in peak form on that front even on the debut! The record is at it's best when it's at it's most intimate – simply letting his voice and acoustic guitar carry everything. ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
