BARNEY JAMES & WARHORSE - Koneg, The Second Coming (70s lost heavy prog) Label:SEELIE COURT (ONE SIDE ONLY!) Fresh from the incredible success of Rick Wakeman's early concept LPs Barney James (drummer with Wakeman's band and member of Gracious) and his ex-band mates Warhorse made this sensational lost heavy prog LP as a promo acetate.

Keyboards and guitar interweave, with further spoken interludes, and culminating in an epic prog workout featuring fluid soloing electric leads. Only one copy exists of this heavy melodic progressive concept LP valued in excess of £10,000. The original gold handmade cover is reproduced as a gatefold. Sleevenotes by Rick Wakeman. LP $20 SKU:24680

BISCUIT -TIME FOR ANSWERS (60s style psych freakbeat) -SAALE! Label:NO TOMORROW Biscuit is one of those (rare) bands than take their inspiration mainly from 60s sounds (beat, garage, psychedelia, freakbeat, hard-rock, folk-rock, soul, rocknroll) but do not sound like just another 60s band. Their sound is uniquely their own, and trying to compare them to another band is so silly that lazy reviewers come out with comparisons as diverse as Urge Overkill, Soundtracks of Our Lives, the Byrds or The Prisoners in the same line. Which of course are all wrong. What is sure right is that these guys have a good thing going when it comes to combine meaty, solid guitar riffs with beautiful melodies. They know the secret of how to make well-crafted, passionate songs, the kind that grow with every listen. They can rock as f*ck one minute and melt your heart the next. You can feel the anger, rage and desperation in their songs, but also the gratefulness, love and tenderness. You can feel the people behind the music. In a phrase, they've got soul. In my book, a truely classic record". LP $19 SKU:19899

BLACK GREMLIN -The Fun is Over (The MC5, The Pink Fairies, Motörhead style) SAALE! Label: RETRO VOX Based in Parma, Black Gremlin releases 12 shameless tracks full of attitude and ignorance.

The whole thing is dressed up with the sharp riffs and the fast rhythms of early '80s thrash metal and hc punk LP $19 SKU:23485

BOKAJ RETSIEM -PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND (67 German explotation) Hendrix, Animals style) LTd ed BLUE 180 GRAM Label:FUTURE SHOCK This 1967 German exploitation LP features fuzzed out vibrato guitar, wailing organs, and strong english vocakls very much like Hendrix, The Animals, Vanilla Fudge, and Iron Butterfly.

BRIGG- ST (collectable psych/folk/hard-rock album from 1973.) SAALE Label:GUERSSEN First ever legit vinyl reissue, sanctioned by the band members, of this collectable psych/folk/hard-rock album from 1973. Brigg were a rural Pennsylvania folk-tinged psychedelic band formed by three high school friends: Rob Morse, Jeff Willoughby, and Rusty Foulke. In 1973, they borrowed the money to record their first album together. They called it Brigg after one member saw the name in a dream. It was recorded at a grocery store converted into a 4-track studio. The photos for the cover were taken in a purportedly haunted house in Danville. The band members pressed 1000 copies and sold some to their friends but never played a live show together. They divided the remaining copies between them and went their separate ways. Several decades later, the Brigg album became a collector's item and was bootlegged all over the world. Original artwork in heavy cardboard sleeve; Insert with liner notes and photos. "A mix of basem*nt hardrock and rural hippie prog-folk" --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives). LP $22 SKU:24903

FOX- For Fox Sake (1970 UK PSYCH ZOMBIES STYLE)- SAALELabel:SOMMER Originally released in 1970 but sounding more akin to ‘67-68, “For Fox Sake” is a superb example of UK psych, highly recommended if you’re into APPLE, KOOBAS, ZOMBIES, OCTOPUS, SKIP BIFFERTY, SPENCER DAVIS GROUP, RUBBLES. First ever vinyl reissue with original UK artwork. Remastered sound and insert with photos / memorabilia plus liner notes by band member Steve Brayne. Formed in Brighton in 1968 with roots to the mod-soul scene, The Fox consisted of Steve (Stephen) Brayne on lead guitar & vocals, Winston Weatherill (ex-Gary Farr & The T-Bones) on lead guitar & sitar, Alex Lane on keyboards & vocals, Tim Reeves on drums and Dave Windross on bass. During their brief existence they supported The Herd and opened for David Bowie. Their sound was loud and righteous with great vocal harmonies, tight rhythm section and wonderful keyboard /guitar solos. After getting signed to a London management, they recorded their only LP in one session and they had it released in the UK on the Fontana label and on the USA on Crewe, featuring a different cover. Sadly, the band broke up following year and since the inclusion of “Butterfly” in one of the Rubbles comps several decades later, they've become a cult group among psych collectors LP $18 SKU:22891

This second CD edition is strictly limited to 1,000copies.Slightly revamped second edition of an album that many people considerto be the best Greek psychedelic album ever recorded, a belief that would meanthat the Four Levels of Existence LP would supersede albums by artists likeAxis, Aphrodite’s Child, Socrates, and George Romanos. We’ll let you decide theargument, for there is no doubt of one thing—that this is tremendous hard edgedpsychedelic rock, originally released on LP in a very small quantity by theprivate Venus label in 1976. CD $10SKU:19944

GONZALEZ, WALLY -Wally on the Road 70s (heavy acid blues psych)-Label:VICORENTERTAINMENT (Philippines) First off, don’t be deceived by the title—this is astudio album all the way; altogether a different sort of album from “TunogPinoy”, thudding out of the gate with the monumental ‘Kailan Pa Kaya’, syrupytreated vocals, John Bonham-esque drumming and all; dig too, if you will, theZeppelin vibe of ‘Screw’ before sailing into the trippy, acoustic ‘TattongAraw’, or the legendary ‘Wally’s Blues’; more effects than the earlier record,sounding more like newfound recordings from the late 1960’s than a mid-70’srecord—this has more psychedelic credentials than most reissues which get thatlabel bestowed upon them; you might say that while “Tunog Pinoy” is classicrock in the best sense, this is classic psychedelia, in the best sense.

INFLUENCE - ST(Canadian 60s rock) Label:PACEMAKER For a brief moment during 1967 and1968, Influence was one of the most exciting outfits to emerge on the Torontorock scene.

JARDINE- Look in the Window( lost jewel of late-1960's UKpsych)Label:LION Jardine’s album wasrecorded in three glorious weeks in June 1969, at Sounds Aquarian Studios, astone’s throw from that justifiably famous fashion hub, Carnaby Street. Thesessions were fun. Polydor was supposed to release the album. Musicians droppedin to say "hello" and ended up on the record (uncredited)—among themPeter Frampton, Andrew "Andy" Bown (Herd and Status Quo), and BrianAppleyard (drummer from East of Eden). Singer Mickey Cox had been in RobertPlant’s pre-Led Zeppelin group The Band of Joy—it was Cox, in fact, who becametheir singer when Plant left the band. But suddenly, thanks to band managementproblems, the LP was shelved. Keith Law, who had written all of the songs,joined Velvett Fogg for their only album, and Jardine was forgotten. Now, fortyyears later, you can be among the first to discover the brooding excellence ofthese tracks, music both strange and sinister, with moments of fragile beauty. There are some very pretty songs here(haunting melodies abound), but there is no escaping the dark side of life(‘masoch*sts of Strangulation,’ ‘Execution of the Child,’ and monumental dirge‘Blackbirds of Jardine’, which tells of self-same birds, and the fact that theywill “destroy you, and leave you pain, pain, pain”), songs perhaps more akin tothe band Comus than to anything else we have encountered from the psychedelicera. There are also heavy guitar solos, churning organ, flute, and flowingsitar, for good measure. A 16-page booklet includes a band history lyrics, andcomments on the songs by Keith Law. A lost jewel of late-1960's UK psychedelia,from a short-lived but charismatic band! CD $10 SKU:10134

KING RICHARD & THE KNIGHTS - Precision ( Plus Other 60's Albuquerque Groupsexcellent new mexico 60's garage) -Label:COLLECTABLES This Albuquerque, NM outfit, also known asThe Knights, had outlasted most of its contemporaries, albeit with a 30 yearhiatus in the middle, mostly by virtue of the quality of their singles, whichturned them into local stars. King Richard and the Knights started out in 1961as a Ventures-type instrumental outfit, playing surf instrumentals and throwingin the occasional Chuck Berry-authored vocal number for variety. By 1964,they'd evolved sufficiently to rate a recording contract with Red Feather, whoscored with the Knights' first release, "Precision," which became aregional hit in the southwest and rode the No. 1 spot on Albuquerque's topradio station for weeks. The band's classic line-up consisted of Dick Stewart(aka "King Richard) on lead guitar and vocals, Larry Longmire on lead andrhythm guitar, and Corky Anderson (later succeeded by Jack Paden) on drums,with Larry Reid handling the saxophone and some vocals. The group's bassistsincluded Gary Butler and Gary Snow. (all copies have a small cut out hole inCD $10 SKU:10149

LEWALLEN BROTHERS- Hitch-Hike! (1964-1968) Byrds, the Beau Brummels, and theZombiesLabel:COLLECTABLES "The '60swere filled with garage bands that could play up a storm covering otherpeoples' material, but the Lewallen Brothers made a sound that had theimmediacy of those bands and the kind of polish that one associated more withthe Byrds, the Beau Brummels, and the Zombies. The fourteen songs on this CDcome from sessions dating between November of 1964 and April 1967, and it'slike listening to good outtakes by the Beatles or the Roulettes. Some of it wasa bit retro in its time ('What More Can I Say,' with its soaring harmonies,chiming rhythm guitars, hot drumming, and memorable hooks, could have competedwith the Beatles if only it had been cut in 1964 or 1965, not the spring of1967), but it all sounds sweet today, and, in terms of the pleasure that itwill elicit, is nearly as essential to any collection of '60s rock & rollas any album ever cut by the Byrds or the Zombies. By the mid-1960s, the LewallenBrothers were opening for musical acts such as the Turtles, the Beau Brummels,and Paul Revere and the Raiders. Ironically, the heavy live schedule impededthem from recording consistently. Music critic Bruce Eder explains "Theirimpeccable harmony singing, coupled with their considerable instrumentalprowess and their tight sound, made them highly desirable both as a warm-up actas well as a backing band.” This collection includes their classic songs from1964-1968, including ‘Only a Dream,’ a song which led to the band ’s numerousperformances on Dick Clark's famed TV show, Happening ’68.

They talked about playing in a band and then formed TheLondoners. The Londoners started playing U.S. army bases in France and Germanyand finally made their way to Hamburg where they became a resident band in thefamous Star Club. They made severalrecords for the Star Club label before returning to London to start a new bandcalled The Knack. The Knack disbanded in 1966—Paul Gurvitz formed a band calledGun (featuring Peter Dunton of Please, Neon Pearl, and T2 fame), and later,Three Man Army. In 1971 both Paul and Brian had started solo projects butdecided to drop the solo projects and form Parrish and Gurvitz. They recordedtheir first album with producer Lou Reizner, and after it was finished, theirmanagers took the album to George Martin, who decided to re-record the albumand sign Parrish & Gurvitz to his own label. The first album, "Parrishand Gurvitz," featured Brian on vocals and guitar and Paul on vocals andbass; on drums was Mike Kellie (Spooky Tooth). Parrish and Gurvitz put a band together to tour the U.S. which consistedof Brian Parrish on guitar and vocals, Paul Gurvitz on guitar and vocals, MikeKellie on drums, Micky Gallagher on keyboards, Ian Drury and Rick Wills onbass. That lineup recorded a second album with George Martin that was notreleased until now.

PSYCHEDELIC MOODS PART 2 - Sunset Love & InnerSanctum Journey Thru Inner Space)Label:CICADELIC After releasing the “PsychedelicMoods” album, in October of 1966, Mark Barkan envisioned another psychedelicalbum for his next release. It was to beperformed by a Greenwich Village band called “Inner Sanctum”. The theme of the album was to be apsychedelic journey into the various psyches of the mind. The trip started with a journey into the past(The House Of Yesterday) then covered the inner workings of the mind (ID) thenthe descent into madness (Hydro Pyro) hallucination (Purple Floating) andfinally culminating in nirvana (Snow Petals). Unfortunately, Barkan was unable to find a record company willing tolease the masters and so they languished for decades unreleased. Now, at longlast the masters for this aborted album are mixed from the original four tracktapes and forty plus years later the psychedelic sounds of “Inner Sanctum” arenow ready, willing, and able to blow your mind. Sunset Love” was comprised ofband members from New Mexico and Texas. In the fall of 1968, thirteen original songs and two covers wererecorded for a potential album, but nothing was ever released. “Sunset Love’s” lush harmonies, soaringvocals, superior song writing, and flower power consciousness pervaded theirsongs with a depth and quality unheard of from most 60s’ bands. While their sound can be compared to suchbands as “The Mamas and The Papas”, “The Peanut Butter Conspiracy”, “Spanky andOur Gang”, and “The Love Exchange”, “SunsetLove” had their own inimitable style that transcended a genericstereo-type. Had Sunset Love releasedtheir album in the 60’s, there is no doubt it would have been an instant rarityof excellence. The “Sunset Love” tapes are sourced from the original stereoversions and reveal the great harmonies and surrealistic lyrics of anundeservedly overlooked and forgotten band from the late 60’ CD $10 SKU:12399

SIXTING MUSIC- Rendering Pink Floyds (Obscure French-onlyPink Floyd covers!)-Label:Skyf Zol Obscure French-only Pink Floyd covers albumgets an outing on CD; as the label says, “It was only natural that thebudget/knock-off record market would venture into the vaunted world ofprogressive music. And so, sometimeafter the release Dark Side Of The Moon, musicians of suitable competency were hired,cover songs were selected, and the art department went to work on somethingeye-catching and only a little deceptive. Not surprisingly, six of the eight tracks are aimed squarely at theMeddle/DSOTM heads, leaving just enough room for a slowed-down ‘Apples AndOranges’ and the tossed-off instrumental ‘Red Phone.

The first release in March 1966 was a bluesy garage-band noveltyrecord titled "Boots Are Made For Talkin ". It was a parody of NancySinatras, smash hit at the time, "These Boots Are Made For Walking".When the single failed to chart Rembrandt Records owner Reggie Weiss moved in adifferent direction, merging pop with psychedelic music, for the next single,"Open Up Your Mind". He wrote the song based on a LSD trip andresponse to the single was positive. Soon other psych-pop singles were issuedfeaturing The Circus, The Nickel Bag, and Mondays Children. Cash Box magazinebegan plugging Rembrandt Records during the fall of 1966. However, Weiss wasunable to secure solid distribution and could not compete with the largerChicago based record labels such as Dunwich, USA, and Destination. By 1967, Weissdevoted all of his time promoting a high-school band called The Lemon Drops. Hewrote another LSD inspired song titled "I Live In The Springtime" forthe band. Unfortunately, the single was unable to chart, even regionally. Overthe ensuing decades though, the reputation of The Lemon Drops, The Nuchez, TheNite-Owls and other Rembrandt artists has grown immeasurably. This compilationcontains all the singles issued on Rembrandt Records from 1966-1967, plus manypreviously unreleased versions and mixes that are appearing for the first timeever. The twenty-two recordings on this album make it apparent that RembrandtRecords was way ahead of its time when these treasures from the psychedelic 60swere recorded. COMP CD $12 SKU:12121
