Egg/Culture Factory, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Fantastic sounds from Tim Blake – an artist who previously worked with Gong, and sometimes worked with Hawkwind – but who really came into his own on this legendary album of electronics! Tim works here on a self-constructed "crystal machine" – a bank of electronics that ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Crystal Machine (with bonus tracks) ... CD 14.99(On translucent blue vinyl!)
King/Culture Factory (France), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99 21.98
A killer from James Brown – and one of his best instrumental albums of the King years! The record has James working with the pre-JBs James Brown Band – a tight assemblage of players who really know how to craft an off-kilter groove. The guitar's popping on the beat here as much as the ... (Soul) read more CD

It's A Mother (LP sleeve edition) ... CD King/Culture Factory, 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A definite mother from James Brown – the kind of all-funky album that few of his contemporaries could ever hope to match! If you've ever doubted the sheer raw power of James at the end of the 60s, the first few notes of this one will definitely make you a convert – and the stretched-out ... (Soul) read more CD

Popcorn (LP sleeve edition) ... CD King/Culture Factory (France), 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A tremendous turning point in the career of James Brown – and an album that points the way strongly to the even deeper funk of the 70s! The album's a hard-wailing batch of instrumental tracks played by the legendary James Brown Band of the late 60s – the pre-JBs ensemble that's gone ... (Soul) read more CD

John Cale —
Helen Of Troy (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Island/Culture Factory (France), 1975. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of John Cale's greatest moments as a solo artist – a wonderfully dark record that also features lots of great guitar from Chris Spedding, plus electronics from Brian Eno too! There's a stark, flat tone to Cale's lyrics here – a quality that almost echoes some of Eno's albums from ... (Rock) read more CD

Clearlight Symphony —
Clearlight Symphony (pink vinyl pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Culture Factory/LMLR, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A classic bit of stretched-out spaciness from the early days of Virgin Records – two side-long tracks that are filled with lots of cool keyboards, percussion, and other hip instrumentation! The record's the brainchild of Cyrille Verdeaux – who plays piano, organ, mellotron, and even ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Larry Coryell —
At The Village Gate (split blue vinyl pressing) (2021 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Vanguard/Culture Factory, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the most stripped-down records from the early years of Larry Coryell – but one of the most powerful, too – as the record sometimes has Larry singing along with his guitar, in an effortless blend of trippy rock and jazz! The date's a live one – and the trio features Marvin ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gong —
Live At Sheffield 1974 (red & green double LP pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Mantra/Culture Factory, 1973. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A wonderful double-length live set from Gong – working here with a crucial lineup that features Daevid Allen on vocals and guitar – with added voice (including "space whisper") from Gilli Smyth, saxes and flute from Didier Malherbe, electronics from Tim Blake, guitar from ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Enterprise/Culture Factory (France), 1974. New Copy ... $9.99 14.98
A totally excellent bit of funk from Chico Hamilton – working with a great group that more than helps their leader live up to the album's title! The record's a real lost gem – and it's got Chico working in much funkier territory than before, grooving with complicated rhythms, and a ... (Jazz) read more CD
Hugh Hopper —
1984 (red vinyl pressing) (2020 Record Store Day Release) ... LP CBS/Culture Factory, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The first-ever solo album from Hugh Hopper – best known as the bassist for Soft Machine, but an equally creative artist on his own! The album is a bit more experimental, and sometimes more jazz-based, than Hugh's work in the bigger group – a blend of odd acoustic sounds with slight ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Frederick Knight —
I've Been Lonely For So Long (limited edition LP sleeve pressing) ... CD Stax/Culture Factory (France), 1973. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A lasting 70s classic from Frederick Knight – easily his best-remembered album, thanks to the legendary title track! The set's got a slow-burning, deeply soulful feel all the way through – one that takes Knight's high-end vocals, and backs them with some bottom-burning instrumentation ... (Soul) read more CD
Jackie McLean —
Let Freedom Ring (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Blue Note/Culture Factory, 1962. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A young Jackie McLean at the height of his powers – really stretching out here, but never going too far out – a perfect balance between his modern bop of previous records, and his groundbreaking "new thing" jazz to come! The group is a relatively straight ahead one – ... (Jazz) read more CD

Sergio Mendes —
Beat Of Brazil (aka Voce Ainda Nao Ouviu Nada) (blue & yellow vinyl pressing) ... LP Atlantic/Culture Factory, 1964. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Early bossa jazz from Sergio Mendes – recorded with his famous Bossa Rio combo, in the years before he moved to America! The album's a classic in Brazilian jazz – a tight album of bossa-inflected jazz tunes played with razor-sharp precision, handled with a style that went on to ...

Mercury/Culture Factory, 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $24.99 26.98
Maybe the last great album in the Ohio Players run for Mercury in the mid 70s – a set that's every bit as smooth, sexy, and funky as their other major label efforts from the time – and one that continued to refine the grittier funk of their roots! While the Players might be remembered ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Wilkerson —
Preach Brother (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Blue Note/Culture Factory, 1962. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
An excellent album by this lusty tenor player – and one of the rarest Blue Notes ever! Brother Don plays lean and mean, in a nice tight group that features Grant Green on guitar, Sonny Clark on piano, and Billy Higgins on drums – all of whom give Wilkerson a freer setting than he ever ...
