LP's - Yesterday and Today Records

ABSTRACT TRUTH - Silver Trees (Import/Shadoks) From South Africa 1970. Edition of 500 numbered LPs, matte heavy gatefold sleeve, 180 gram pressing. "The band Abstract Truth existed only for a very short time, but it was a time of super-creativity. They exploded on to the Durban music scene early in 1969, released 2 studio albums during 1970 on EMI, which we have here. The 3rd album Cool Sounds For Heads is only a compilation of these 2 LPs. Ken E. Henson on guitar & vocals / Peter Measroch on piano, organ, flute, harpsichord & vocals / George Wolfaardt on bass, flute, drums & vocals / Sean Bergin on sax & flute. Silver Trees is a milestone in South African music among bands like Freedoms Children, Astra and Third Eye. Musically it follows the same routes as UK bands like Bloodwin Pig, Traffic, Spooky Tooth and many others. Progressive underground of the best kind, with organ, guitars, flutes, sax and great vocals, sometimes with Zappa-style guitar solos."

ABSTRACT TRUTH - Totem (Import/Shadoks) From South Africa 1970. Edition of 500 numbered LPs, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing. "Ken E Henson on guitar, vocals and sitar / Robbie Pavid on percussion / Brian Gibson on bass & vocals / Sean Bergin on sax & flute. Excellent early '70s melodic wistful freak-rock, blended with African sounds featuring assorted instruments: keyboards, flutes, electric guitars, saxophone, percussion, etc. A refreshing approach with an Eastern touch. If you like UK bands such as Quintessence, If and Blodwin Pig, this album goes in the same direction. It is more trippy/stoned and acoustic than the Silver Trees album."

AFTER LIFE - Guachemar (1975) (Import/Wah Wah) "One of the major discoveries of the last years in the world of collectable underground rock records is Cauchemar, the only LP by demonic French fuzzers After Life. Released only in Spain by Discophon in 1975. This French four piece was produced by no other than maverick Jean-Pierre Massiera (of Visitors, Horrific Child, Les Maledictus Sound fame) and includes nine tracks of heavy psych guitar action, screaming vocals and mysterious organ interludes in the best '70s hard progressive tradition. Ultra rare Spanish-only LP, first time ever reissued. Not available on CD, this is the only way to get this mega rare album at a reasonable price. Includes two bonus tracks from a rare 45, not included in the original release. Top audiophile sound on quality vinyl. Limited edition, 500 copies pressed." $24.99

AGAPE - Gospel Hard Rock LP Exact repro of the super rare debut album from this Christian rock band, recorded in 1971. This is actually a very fine US rock album that includes blues, fuzz guitar and even touches of psychedelia. The 'Jesus Music' tag ironically may well have deterred people from turning onto this excellent album.

EL ALAMO - "Malos pensamientos": label description: "Ultra rare vintage latin psych- rock record from Peru. This record released in 1971 and up to now is one of the essential rock recordings coming from Peru and maybe even from whole South America. El Alamo play genuine psych rock with nice fuzz guitars. Vocals are mostly in English. The original vinyl is rather expensive and very sought after. Very beautiful artwork! Fantastic remastered sound and nice carton covers. Limited to 400 copies only, coming in top quality exact replica covers of the original albums, and great remastered sound.”

AMBOY DUKES - Journey To the Center of the Mind (Mainstream/180 gram) LP Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1968. The guitarist of this group is a rather unfortunate human being and we can't bring ourselves to print his full name, sorry. "Journey to the Center of the Mind, The Amboy Dukes' second album, was released in April 1968 on Mainstream Records. The cover features 50 different marijuana smoking devices. The title track was released as a single and climbed the U.S. pop chart to number 16. *** ****** wrote the music for Steve Farmer's lyrics, even though ****** had never smoked a joint in his entire life."

ANT TRIP CEREMONY - 24 Hours (Import) "Strange but classic rare album from the psychedelic era, this was recorded in the Ohio state back in 1968. We should call this hippie, West Coast psychedelic folk-rock with Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver influence. The album contains a good number of originals plus a few covers like 'Hey Joe' or the fantastic remake of 'Violets of Dawn'. Forty years after its original release, this is now reissued on vinyl officially for the first time, and it's a limited release of 600 copies with insert including photos and liners."

AORTA - (RI/Sealed) Stunning acid rock album from 1969, recorded by this band from Chicago who made two albums. Featuring some phenomenally trippy guitar and keyboard interplay with some lush orchestration, backward effects etc. this is truly a lost psychedelic classic. Exact official reissue in a gatefold sleeve. $11.99

ARMAGGEDON - (ST) One of the best and rarest early '70s German heavy progressive rock albums. It was originally released on the legendary Kuckuck label in 1970 and nowadays it is regarded as one of the finest heavy rock albums of the early '70s. It contains great originals and an excellent version of Spooky Tooth's 'Better By You, Better Than Me.' This album, is a perfect example of the early '70s German progressive Krautrock scene and should be part of every serious '70s progressive rock collection. English lyrics." Also includes a cover of Jeff Beck's "Rice Pudding."

ARMANDO PIAZZA “Suàn” (MV002): singer-songwriter Armando Piazza from Naples was joined by renowned US guitarist Shawn Phillips on bass, acoustic and electric guitar for this rarity, originally released on the obscure Black Beautiful Butterfly label in 1972; since it was sold only at concerts and by mail, it was difficult to find even then. And what a pity! Acid-psychedelic ballads in English, with bursts of fuzz guitar and excellent use of electric instruments as well as abundant acoustic guitar (the good people at Missing Vinyl say that the fuzz bass on ‘The House on the Hill’ will blow your mind and… speakers away)! This is an album considered to be one of the best, and is certainly one of the rarest European psychedelic albums, with original mint condition copies going nowadays for 1,000+ Euro. A heavy, yet subtle record, folky, with oddly inflected vocals and deliciously crunchy guitar. Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl, in a deluxe double gatefold cover that is a replica of the complex original jacket.

THE ART OF LOVIN' - (S/T) (RI/180 GRAM) - This US bands sole 1968 release, originally on Mainstream, and very much in a similar bag to The Growing Concern / Love Exchange / Peanut Butter Conspiracy with female / male vocal harmonies and a Jefferson Airplane acid rock feel. Includes an excellent version of Tim Hardin's "How Can We Hang On To A Dream?". A great album and praised in Fuzz Acid & Flowers.

ATILA -    The Beginning of the End (1975) (Import/Wah Wah/w/7") "Often hailed as one the hard psych masterpieces to come out from Spain in the early '70s, The Beginning Of The End was the vinyl debut of Atila, a trio formed in 1973 by Eduardo Niebla (guitar), Joan Punyet (drums) and Francisco Ortega (keyboards). Originally released in 1975 by the obscure New Promotions label in a alleged tiny pressing of 100 copies the album has reached 'monster' status between die-hard collectors worldwide, sometimes reaching the 1500 euro tag. An incredible progressive tour de force, the album combined the typical classical leanings, fierce guitar leads and dark keys all over in the best European tradition of the era (think Italian prog). Another rarity which finally reaches a wider audience thanks to Wah Wah in a well presented reissue that is completed by two bonus tracks plus a 7" including two more extra tracks all taken from contemporary sessions (actually the same month as the album recordings) which show the band delving into Pink Floyd-territory circa More/Ummagumma (think 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' and you'll be pretty close)." $21.99

AUTOSALVAGE - (S/T)    (1968) (Sealed)    LP reissue of the sole album by this great late '60's US psychedelic band who made this one album in 1968. Quirky fuzz guitars, odd lyrics and multi-layered harmonies create a strange brew that leans towards a West Coast sound rather than hinting at the bands East Coast origins. Classic '60's psych cover art. $10.99

DAVID AXELROD - Song Of Innocence (180 GRAM/LTD)    In 1968 arranger david axelrod composed and arranged this suite having worked with The Electric Prunes on "Mass in F Minor" and "Release Of An Oath". This album is similar to those and is based upon the writings of William Blake. Entirely instrumental, with trippy electric guitar, and lashings of orchestration. A gem of an album..... Vinyl is exact reissue with glorious psych sleeve.. $13.99

DAVID AXELROD - Heavy Axe    Later release originally issued on Fantasy, containing some superb laid back, jazzy, funky music with Mr. Axelrod's distinctive orchestral/brass arrangements to the fore. The feel is similar to the kind of music associated with "Starsky and Hutch". Regarded as one of the man's finest works and a superb late night chill out album... $10.99

DAVID AXELROD - Earth Rot (RI/Ltd/Sealed) Odd 1970 album by Mr. Axelrod. A concept piece about the human rape of the earth's environment. Mixing his earlier style with flutes, orchestra's, brass, and choir's in an easy listening style... why not chill out in your polyester '60s leisuresuit and contemplate the destruction of the environment. $10.99

JOHN BERBEERIAN - Oud Artistry (RI/180 Gram) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1965? This is the limited edition colored vinyl version. "Another reissue of the ultimate oud master. This is the follow-up to Expressions East and it is no less an impressive affair. Again on this album John has brought together some of the finest exponents of Armenian, Turkish, and Arabic music, including James Shahrigian (bass), Souren Baronian (clarinet, bongos), John Yalenezian (dumbeg), Jack Chalikian (canun), Steve Pumilia (finger cymbals, def, dumbeg, tambourine), John Valentine (guitar, dudoog) and Bob Tashjian (vocals). 'Aziza' is a driving Arabic instrumental with the oud and bongos setting the pace in frantic counter action. 'Bir-Demet Yasemen' is a dramatic presentation of 6/8 rhythm couples with a profound lyric. 'Sevan 5/4' is an instrumental native to Armenia. The title refers to the unorthodox 5/4 meter. 'Savgulum' is a pulsating example of a rhythm that never ceases; of a composition that is never forgotten. 'Yarus' is a prize in Armenian vocal composition. Here again one is struck by the profundity of the lyrics. 'Sevasda' features words and melody that are traditionally Turkish. The 6/8 time signature however, is common to much of the music for the Middle East. 'Rast Taksim' refers to a form of improvisation. It's often meant as an introductory passage, however, it's here presented as a complete work expressive of mood and emotion. 'Rast Sazsemi' -- the Sazsemi is a classic example of Turkish art music." --from the liner notes.

BIRDS - Say Those Magic Words (Import) LP - The complete works of this legendary UK '60s band including unreleased demos and singles by The Birds, Birds. Brilliant Freakbeat / R'n'B / Psych with the classic "No Good Without You Baby" from the "Perfumed Garden" comp. Great colour sleeve.

BLACKBIRDS - TOUCH OF MUSIC (1971 (Longhair/Import) 180 gram vinyl pressing of the German bands 2nd album originally released in 1971 with complete new line up except for singer and guitarist. On this album they adopted a poetic progressive style with long tracks characteristic for the early 70's progressive music. Comes with 2 bonus tracks. Not to be confused with jazz-funk fusion aggregation of similar name.Pressed with insert and 1 Bonustrack. $28.99

J.D. BLACKFOOT - THE ULTIMATE PROPHECY (180 GRAM) Limited 180 gram exact repro vinyl version of this monster release by this late '60s US band who wrote the brilliant "Epitaph For a Head". The title track of this, their debut album, is a long suite of acid mayhem with searing guitar and cosmic lyrics about the cycle of life and death. The remainder of the album contains great West Coast tinged country rock with strong harmonies and guitar work. $13.99

BLAST FURNACE - (S/T) (1971) (Longhair/Import/Ltd. Press) Great eponymous album (originally released 1971) from this obscure band based in Denmark. This is one of the best Danish albums, now for the first time released on LP from the original master tape, remastered in super-bit-mapping sound quality. Brilliant song writing in the tradition of The Beatles, Jethro Tull and Pretty Things (during their fertile period from 1968-1970).    They played superb hard-progressive rock with real strong guitar flashes, wild vocals and razor-sharp instrumental breaks balanced between electric guitar, Hammond organ and flute. The lineup later joined Culpepper's Orchard. Same tracklisting and bonus as the CD version. $28.99

BLISS- (SAME) (RI) (VOID) SEALED LTD.PRESS.    Very Rare Arizona psychedelic trio from '69.    Fuzz guitar, psych leads and great cuts plus 2 bonus tracks never before heard!$27

BLUE CHEER - Oh! Pleasant Hope Exact repro reissue of the legendary cult band's sixth album, an overlooked, atypical gem originally released in 1971. This was the last album before the band's hiatus that would end with their return on 1983's The Beast Is Back. This album features Dickie Peterson's lead vocals on only three songs, reveals a blues/psych-tinged maturity in the more acoustic-centered tracks than what's found throughout the rest of their FM-radio saturated catalog, and includes "I'm The Light," a pop masterpiece blessed with the presence of synth and sitar sounds. Underrated but essential, Oh! Pleasant Hope finds Blue Cheer on a cosmic plane that remains criminally undiscovered by most.

BLUE CHEER - VINCEBUS ERUPTUM "Vincebus Eruptum, Blue Cheer's landmark 1968 debut, is widely regarded as Ground Zero of the heavy metal explosion. The album, featuring the classic Blue Cheer lineup of guitarist Leigh Stephens, bassist/vocalist Dickie Peterson and drummer Paul Whaley, includes the trio's mind-melting reading of Eddie Cochran's 'Summertime Blues,' which became a Top 20 single, along with such raw, overdriven originals as 'Doctor Please' and 'Second Time Around' and distinctive reworkings of the blues standards 'Rock Me Baby' and 'Parchment Farm.' Long out of print on vinyl, with original copies trading for steep collectors' prices, this legendary debut is available once again in its original format, complete with its unique original cover design."

BLUE MOUNTAIN EAGLE - (S/T) 1970 country tinged acid rock album by the American band that evolved out of The New Buffalo Springfield. The record still displays all the hallmarks of the Buffalo Springfield sound (there is some great fuzzy guitar work with melodic backing vocal harmonies) and in places the album even anticipates some Crazy Horse material! blue mountain eagle were designed to be a country-rock supergroup and deserved to be much bigger, as this great record easily demonstrates.

BLUES MAGOOS - ELECTRIC COMIC BOOK (SEALED RI) The Magoos second album, following hot on the tails of their classic debut including "Pipe Dream", a fab version of "Gloria", and "Life Is Just A Cher O'Bowlies" amongst other weird classics. Madcap US '60s psych/punk/pop that should be in everyone's collection....$13

BLUES MAGOOS - PSYCHEDELIC LOLLIPOP (SEALED RI)

BLUE THINGS    (S/T) (1966) (RI/Sealed) The debut album, from 1966, from this US band who mixed Byrds like folk-pop with Dylanesque touches. The album has become a major collectors item and is worthy of praise. More full blown psychedelia was to follow, but this was an excellent debut. $10.99

BLUES ADDICTS - (ST) (1970) Numbered edition of 450 copies, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram white vinyl pressing, with insert. "There were only four good and rare albums on the Danish Spectator label: Terje, Jesper & Joachim (which we have just done on LP and CD), Moses, Days and the rarest of them all: Blues Addicts. What a guitar work this is. Ivan Horn really kicks ass with his extra-heavy guitar. As good as the heavy Cream songs, in parts as creative as Jimi Hendrix. The musical range and the guitar style is as good as the best early Eric Clapton work with the far out techniques of Jimi Hendrix. All their own compositions, long tracks, extra heavy guitar, English vocals & heavy drum sounds. Ivan Horn (guitars, vocals & kazoo), Mich Brink (bass), Gibber Thomsen (vocals & congas), Henning Aasbjerg (drums). If Spectator would have kept to rock music as their musical style instead of switching to jazz, those four bands would have been successful on the international rock circus."

BOHEMAIN VENDETTA (S/T) (180 Gram/Sealed) At last a good quality reissue of this classic '60s album!    Superb garage psych with fuzz freakouts, rippling keyboards and ace teen psych lyrics. This band backed Faine Jade on his album. $15.99

BUBBLE PUPPY - A Gathering of promises LP (RI/Sundzed) "In 1969, Texas acid-psych warlords the Bubble Puppy burst onto the U.S. Top 20 with 'Hot Smoke and Sasafrass,' the slashing, frenzied 2:33 freakout that kicks off the band's brain-bending debut, A Gathering of Promises. Signed to Houston's legendary International Artists imprint, the foursome were label mates of such hallowed acts as the 13th Floor Elevators and the Red Krayola. But A Gathering of Promises, the group's sole International Artists album, stands out from the rest of the roster with its rich vocal harmonies and heavier, Cream/Hendrix/Who sound. Descended from Corpus Christi garage kings the Bad Seeds, the Bubble Puppy's tripped-out calling card was its combination of soaring, fuzz-drenched guitars, frantic drumming, stop-on-a-dime arrangements, and tight, graceful harmonies. The Bubble Puppy may have been a one-hit wonder (and what a hit!) but after a trip through the manic 'Lonely,' the cryptically twisting 'I've Got to Reach You,' and the majestic, guitar-searing 'Hurry Sundown,' any psych fan will be left scratching their head and wondering why -- if they still have a head to scratch, that is."br />

MIGUEL CANTILO Y GRUPO SUR "S/T" (1972) (Import/Guersson/Ltd.500) Argentinian Miguel Cantilo joined a hippie comune in the fall of 1972. There he wrote many songs together with Kubero Diaz (La Cofradia de la Flor Solar), incredible hard-psychedelia and a slight folk flavour at times. This is an absolute must for any psychedelic rock fan with overwhelming dual guitar, and no doubt it's one of the best Argentinian records of the 70's. This is its first vinyl reissue ever and the sound has been taken from original mastertapes resulting in a much better sound than the original! It's limited to 500 copies and comes with the gorgeous original gatefold cover. $26.99

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - SAFE AS MILK Repro of the first Captain Beefheart LP, originally released in the US on Buddah in 1967. 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. "Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward. Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms, soulful, twisting vocals from Van Vliet, and more doo wop, soul, straight blues, and folk-rock influences than he would employ on his more avant-garde outings. 'Zig Zag Wanderer,' 'Call on Me,' and 'Yellow Brick Road' are some of his most enduring and riff-driven songs, although there's plenty of weirdness on tracks like 'Electricity' and 'Abba Zaba.'"

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - MIRROR MAN - Exact repro. "Originally, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band's second album was intended to be a double-album set called It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper. Although 1968's Strictly Personal has the same artwork that was mooted for the double album, it's a single disc. As part of the same post-Trout Mask Replica closet-cleaning that led to Buddah (the parent company of Blue Thumb Records, which released Strictly Personal) reissuing Safe As Milk as Dropout Boogie in the U.K. in 1970, the label released Mirror Man, the second disc that was intended for the Plain Brown Wrapper release. Recorded in November 1967 (an odd misprint on the sleeve claims it was recorded in 1965, when the band barely existed), the four lengthy tracks on Mirror Man are even more simplistic and primal than those on Strictly Personal. The key tracks are 'Tarotplane Blues,' a free-form jam in which Beefheart jumbles together the lyrics of at least half a dozen blues standards into a stream-of-consciousness ramble (adding musette and harmonica for good measure) as the Magic Band vamps on a slide guitar-based, two-chord groove for over 19 minutes, and the similarly expansive 'Mirror Man,' one of the key tracks of Beefheart's entire career."

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - SPOTLIGHT KID 180 gram vinyl, manufactured by Rhino. Fifth album, originally released in 1972. "The self-produced The Spotlight Kid, with a band consisting again of Zoot Horn Rollo, Rockette Morton and Ed Marimba, joined by Winged Eel Fingerling (Eliot Ingber), guitar, in addition to Drumbo, Ted Cactus and Rhys Clark on drums."

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - CLEAR SPOT - 180 gram vinyl, manufactured by Rhino. 6th album, following The Spotlight Kid. "In 1972, Warner Bros. Records producer Ted Templeman, already riding high with the Doobie Brothers and soon to be known as Van Halen's producer, decided to produce Beefheart. The result was Clear Spot, one of Beefheart's best-sounding records. It's also one of the rare occasions when Beefheart's music survived commercial staging without failure. Throughout the album, the band -- Zoot Horn Rollo, guitar, steel guitar and mandolin; Rockette Morton, rhythm and bass guitar; Ed Marimba (Art Trip), drums and percussion; and Oréjon (Roy Estrada ), bass -- cooks, Beefheart is in great voice and the sound is crystal clear."

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - TROUT MASK REPLICA - 180 gram vinyl, manufactured by Rhino. The third Beefheart album (following Safe as Milk and Strictly Personal) to be released, first issued in 1969. Gatefold sleeve, classic Cal Schenkel artwork. "Trout Mask Replica is Captain Beefheart's masterpiece, a fascinating, stunningly imaginative work that still sounds like little else in the rock & roll canon. Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 28-song double album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, blues, and garage rock to free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Atonal, sometimes singsong melodies; jagged, intricately constructed dual-guitar parts; stuttering, complicated rhythmic interaction -- all of these elements float out seemingly at random, often without completely interlocking, while Beefheart groans his surrealist poetry in a throaty Howlin' Wolf growl. As one might expect from music so complex and, to many ears, inaccessible, the influence of Trout Mask Replica was felt more in spirit than in direct copycatting, as a catalyst rather than a literal musical starting point. However, its inspiring reimagining of what was possible in a rock context laid the groundwork for countless future experiments in rock surrealism, especially during the punk/new wave era."

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND - It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper One of the most exciting aspects of reintroducing so much rare and incredible music to the world is being able to finally make available material that's been in label-vault limbo since the day it was recorded, vital sounds locked away from the deserving ears of the legions of devoted music fans we at Sundazed count ourselves among. But when we're able to present previously shelved material by one of the most visionary and influential artists of all time, in exceptional fidelity, with the look and feel of the packaging that the artist originally meant it to have? Well, then, that just takes everything to another level completely -- a level that's certainly been reached with the exclusive vinyl-only issue of Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's mind-blowing lost 1967 sessions. Recorded in part as the follow-up to Safe as Milk, Beefheart's debut from earlier that year, the world-shattering material on It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper was re-recorded, truncated, and issued -- without the Captain's approval -- as Strictly Personal in 1968. Mastered directly from the original analog tapes and featuring a wealth of unedited takes never before on vinyl, Sundazed's stunning gatefold double-LP release of this infamously enigmatic opus comes to you wrapped in a sharp outer sleeve bearing specially commissioned artwork by Frank Zappa/Straight Records illustrator Cal Schenkel replicating the album's planned '67 design (deliberately not shown here. It's a surprise!); inside are rare photos and fascinating, exhaustive liner notes by Magic Band drummer John 'Drumbo' French. So here, then, is Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's second album of gloriously disjointed avant-rock/blues and free-jazz skronk, presented just as nature -- and the Captain -- intended. Even after more than 40 years, this music is still hopelessly ahead of its time -- or, as one-time Magic Band member Ry Cooder once described it, 'right on time.'"

CARDBOARD VILLAGE "Sea Change" - The Void label's 40th release is a vinyl reissue of this U.S. private press album from 1971. Male/female folk trio with great vocals from David Clark and Chris Poole, backed by guitars, flute, piano, cello, congas etc. As an original this is one of the rarest U.S. folk releases. Comes in color glossy cover, and groovy lyric insert as per the
original. $17.99

PETRUS CASTRUS - Mestre LP (Import/Guerssen/Ltd. 500) "We're very, very pleased to introduce you to this wonderful album, after more than 2 years working on it! One of the top Portuguese '70s rock names, Petrus Castrus is surely better known for his Ascençao e Queda second album, reissued in Korea on CD a few years ago. But for most of the lucky people who could listen to both albums, the 1973 debut Mestre is the best one. Very highly rated (among the ones who know it!) in the progressive rock scene, this is so rare in original, very few people have it even in Portugal. The album consists on 11 tracks featuring Portuguese lyrics, effective drumming and strong use of keys, though never falling into the symphonic field, this might be a blend of progressive rock and slight psych tinges. Remastered sound from mastertapes and with the original gatefold cover, this is a welcome and long awaited release sure to fill lots of prog collection gaps! 500 copies only!"

CEYLEIB PEOPLE - Tanyet (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Classic 1967 sitar psych album. This trippy, instrumental concept piece drips with sitars, flute and Eastern charm mixing electric guitar (courtesy of a young Ry Cooder) with acoustic eastern weirdness. Very rare on vinyl, has the original mind blowing Rick Griffin cover! $15.99

CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND - The Inner Mystique The Watch Band's follow-up LP, puts you in the middle of a hippie ballroom with legendary producer Ed Cobb's instrumental 'Voyage of the Trieste' and 'In the Past,' which use enough psychedelic guitar, electric sitar and exotic shakers and rattles to grow your hair at least two inches overnight. Ray Davies' 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else' sounds like it was written just for the Watch Band, and Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' is a jingle-jangle masterpiece."

CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND - No Way Out "Sundazed is totally stoked to announce the reissue of the first two albums by the Chocolate Watch Band, high on everyone's list as one of the most exciting garage bands ever. Hailing from San Jose, California, the Watch Band -- featuring the pouting, Mick Jagger-influenced lead vocals of Dave Aguilar, the thrilling guitars of Sean Tolby and Mark Loomis, the solid bass of Bill Flores and the thumping drums of Gary Andrijasevich -- made all the right scenes in San Jose, including appearances with South Bay chart-toppers the Syndicate of Sound and Count Five. No Way Out kicks things off with an eye-opening nugget, 'Let's Talk About Girls.' It's a song that perfectly blends a stomping Chuck Berry rhythm track with the happening 'boss sound,' the psychedelic guitar. 'Come On,' an early Stones single, is given the perfect Jagger paint job, while 'Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In)' captures the new tribal hippie culture in a nutshell."

CIRCUIT RIDER "S/T" (CR 666LP): Authorized exact replica reissue of this private press LP from approx 1980? or so. Recorded in Norwalk, CT; edition of 800 copies. "...projects visions of a biker high on PCP driving over a cliff at 100 mph, laughing and screaming all the way." -- Patrick Lundborg, The Acid Archives This is the ultimate burnout biker-psych masterpiece. Finally repressed directly from tapes to flawlessly restore the cigarette burns, Harley fumes, and cocaine hangovers of the original ride. This is a 40 minute recipe for complete mental breakdown. Included on the Acid Archives' list of Top Ten LPs Most Likely To Be Owned By A Serial Killer. Circuit Rider is lost on the same journey as Kenneth Higney, Nicodemus & Matchez, YaHoWa, Boa, Heitkotter, Dave Lamb & Gye Whiz, Raven, Fraction, and The Doors' L.A. Woman."

CLEAR LIGHT (S/T) "Their psychedelia run amuck with twin drummers, creamy fuzz guitar and carnival-clatter keyboards, LA's Clear Light were a fixture on underground radio -- most memorably with their heavy-on-the-paranoia 'Mr. Blue.' Our reissue of their rare self-titled 1967 Elektra debut, produced by Paul Rothchild, features a non-LP bonus track ('She's Ready To Be Free') and liner notes that tell Clear Light's story in full, vivid detail."

CLUSTER - 2 "Originally released in 1972, this is the second album by legendary German ambient pioneers Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius. Moebius and Roedelius essentially create ambient electronic soundscapes that ebb and flow, droning on in a suspended world of anti-gravity where machine has conquered man." Utilizing primitive synthesizer whirls, hypnotic guitar/bass patterns, etc. The 12-minute "Im Suden" is especially masterful.

COMMON PEOPLE - 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. Originally released in 1969. Well-loved major label psych LP with somewhat of a split personality. The sound varies between a unique brooding downer vibe with Axelrod-like string arrangements, and a more typical West Coast garage-psych trip.

CONGREGACION - Viene - Super rare psych folk from Chile recorded in 1973. Beautiful acoustic and mildly electric folk, that sounds like a Latin American version of The Incredible Stringband or 67 Donovan. Embellished with flute, natural sound effects and strings the overall tone is dreamy and evocative.

THE CONTENTS ARE - Through You "The Contents Are was one of many sixties bands from the Quad City's fertile garage music scene. With labels/studios like Fredlo and IGL, it was a very healthy regional area for bands with an unusually high per capita for record releases. Up until the recent discovery of an original copy a couple years ago, it was only rumored to exist and remained an enigma with hardcore record collectors. In most cases, the Contents Are were only known by astute collectors for their two excellent 45 releases (non-LP). Well the mystery is over, and here's your chance to hear one of the rarest & greatest garage records ever recorded. Here's the story about the record: Four high school seniors from Iowa decide to release an album of all original tunes, and was exclusively sold at their live shows. Originally released on the Rok label (a subsidiary of the already obscure Fredlo label) in 1967 with only 100 copies pressed. These guys were not your typical garage band ? talented players, professional grade vocalists and no cover songs!!! Their music is a nice blend of garage rock with hints of hipster folk and early psychedelic influences. As good if not better as other similar top shelf rarities like Mystery Meat and the Bachs, but no major quantity find making original copies of the Contents Are ten times rarer. Get it or miss it! LP 450 numbered/glossy heavy sleeve/180 gram pressing/insert."

CROMAGNON - Cave Rock "Originally released in 1969, Cromagnon's Cave Rock strings together a patchwork of untamed sounds and mental images which perfectly articulate the boundary-breaking psychedelic revolution that was occurring at the time -- musically and socially. Widely heralded as the best freak-out record of all time, Cromagnon's Cave Rock is a captivating experience that engages the listener. The album surpassed even the most out there psychedelia of its day, predicting what would soon become the disjointed aural landscapes of Faust and the violent scuzz of Throbbing Gristle. Vivid elements of Cromagnon's influence continues to shine in the lysergic rhythms of the Sun City Girls, Nurse With Wound, Ghost, and Animal Collective." Includes insert with the first documented history of Cromagnon.

THE DAVID - Another Day, Another Lifetime (1967)    (180 Gram/RI/Sealed)    Tripped out 1967 gem from Los Angeles.

The band even made their own futuristic instruments which they play on the album! $12.99

DAY BLINDNESS - (S/T) LP (180 gram vinyl/RI/Sealed) Super rare 1969 San Francisco heavy psych album with keyboards, ripping fuzz guitar etc. Similar to The Savage Resurrection with flashes of the Doors and Iron Butterfly. There are some nice long acid jams here. $13.99

DAYS - (S/T) "From Denmark 1970; LP in edition of 450 numbered copies, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing, insert. The Danish group Days was formed in Copenhagen in the winter 1967/1968 by Peter Lindhe (drums), John Kjaergaard (vocals/rhythm guitar), Ole Fester (vocals/bass) and Lars Reinau (vocals/lead guitar). The band's repertoire was mainly rock and blues oriented with cover versions of songs from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. During 1968/1969, Peter Lindhe and Lars Reinau started writing original material to the band and the repertoire started changing from rock/blues cover versions to self-composed, more lyrical songs with elements of The Beatles, Procol Harum and (early) Deep Purple. In 1969, Jørn Anker (Hammond organ) joined the band and he, too started contributing new original songs to the band. The Days LP was recorded in the early summer of 1970 and in 1971 the band split up. Days is one the the rarest albums from Denmark which also came out on Spectator (Blues Addicts, Terje Jesper & Joachim, Moses). It is full of amazing prog tunes with great organ elements and strong fuzz guitar. A killer album from beginning to end."

DECEMBER'S CHILDREN (ST) (Mainstream/180 gram) LP Exact repro reissue of this LP, originally issued on Mainstream in 1969, colored vinyl edition.

Rootsy and rife with bluesy funk at times, with plenty of guitar riffage to burn and some hearty CSNY moments.

ELECTRIC PRUNES - I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night    Official exact reissue of the exceptional debut album from 1967 by these US garage psych legends.

ELECTRIC PRUNES - Underground    Official 180 gram reissue of The Prunes second album, also from 1967 and their masterpiece.

Definitely a Top Ten US garage psych album. Taken from the analogue master tapes too!    $13.99

ELECTRIC PRUNES - Mass In F Minor    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    The Prunes were teamed up with David Axelrod (and the Collectors) for this Psychedelic Mass which is easily the best Christain psych album ever made- and the band weren't even Christians!!.

EMTIDI - (S/T) LP (IMPORT/WAH WAH/LTD. 1000) First legit reissue of this debut album from 1970, predating their most commonly known Saat album from 1972. "Emtidi are best remembered nowadays for their classic album Saat, but prior to that release, the duo formed by Maik Hirschfeldt and Dolly Holmes had already released a marvelous LP. This superb debut album is filled with charming folk-oriented material. 6, 7 and 12 string acoustic guitars and beautiful flute arrangements surround the lovely female/male duet voices of Hirschfeldt and his Canadian partner, Holmes, making this album a pleasure for the listener, a nice piece for the collector and a source of good taste influences for the young musicians into today's new folk scene. Yes: this LP will give satisfaction not only to Kraut rock collectors, but also to all those into old folk gods like Pentangle, Vashti Bunyan, Bridget St. John, Book Of Am... plus to all those into the Devendra Banhart, Espers, Circulus... sounds! Sung in English, it was recorded in July 1970 and originally released on the Thorofon label, which issued a very short run, thus making it one of those rare items so valued by record collectors, with the addition that for this time the music lives up to the expectations of its market price value! Here at Wah Wah, we thought it was time to give this gem a proper edition as it deserves, with top quality pressing from the original master tapes.

EXPRESSIONS EAST - FEAT. OUD OF JOHN BERBERIAN

FAINE JADE- Introspection A Faine Jade Recital (RI/180 gram/Sealed) (Sundazed)    180 gram vinyl version taken from the master tapes of this brilliant mystical '60s US garage psych album. One of our all time favourites, this is the 'Sgt. Pepper' of US '60s garage psych and has fine trippy quality all of it's own. Highlights are many, whether they are the well arranged string based interludes or acid guitar led songs. "People Games Play" (from the 'Endless Journey' comp), "Doctor Paul", "Cold Winter","Sun Symphony in D Major", "I Lived Tomorrow Yesterday", and the angry youth anthem "D o n t Hassle Me" all deserve a mention.    $17.99

FALLEN ANGELS- It's A Long Way Down.    Exact repro of rare second album from Washington DC psychedelic band. Dating from 1968 it is one of the best undiscovered US '60s acid gems. Dreamy psych loaded with ethereal melodies, trippy lyrics, rippling keyboards mind melting eastern fuzz etc. Includes "One Of The Few Ones Left", "I'll Drive You From My Mind" and many more. Great sleeve art.... need we say more? $13.99

MERRELL FANKHAUSER AND HIS H.M.S. BOUNTY LP (Import/Guerssen) The best thing Mr. Fankhauser ever recorded. Classic 1968 US psych with complex vocal harmonies, mind warping fuzz and trippy songs such as the immortal "Driving Sideways Down A One Way Street". Buy or Die.

FAPARDOKLY - (S/T) LP (Import/Guersen) Probably regarded as the most important release in Merrell Fankhauser's long career, and an absolute collector's item. The band recorded about 30 tracks in a small studio in Palmdale, California, from 1965 to 1967, when the owner of the studio decided to release an album with some of these tracks. With such different recording dates, you find here different sounds -- organized '60s pop, jangly folk-rock, psychedelia -- a truly fantastic album that finally gets, for the first time, a legit vinyl reissue and with the original artwork. Comes with an insert featuring photo from Merrell's personal archive, and liner notes by him as well.

JW FARQUHAR - The Formal Female Reissue of this private pressing from the USA, 1972. LP in an edition of 450 numbered copies, with glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing. "All tracks were recorded by JW Jarquhar in 1972. The songs on The Formal Female were written as an outcry against the materialistic nature of the woman during that time period in 1972. Many will tell you it is still that way. JW had recently extricated himself from a 10 year marriage and the words from this experience fit the lyrics on the album still. During that time he lived by himself in a 3rd floor apartment in Philadelphia. It was a street with a lot of traffic. Car horns, busses, police sirens, fire engines, screams, and sometimes even gunshots filled the airwaves. For this reason he sealed up the windows and any other openings with sound-proofing foam. This was necessary because his music was recorded in there. JW was the instrumentalist; rhythm guitar, lead guitar, drums, vocals, and bass. However he could not play them all at once, so he purchased a four track simulsync Teac recorder... professional version. This allowed him to record on one track and then play it back and separately record on a second, third, and fourth track. The original tracks were recorded at 15 IPS. A final mix was then made in stereo with yet a fifth overdub, when needed. At that time other effects were limited. It is amazing electric fuzz album full of effects and it's a masterpiece such as D.R. Hooker. Extra heavy psychedelic."

FAUST - So Far 180 gram vinyl. "Originally released in 1972, this is the second album from Uwe Nettelbeck's legendary Krautrock group Faust. More song oriented than the first record, So Far is an absolute stone classic of outsider (pop) music reissued here in its original packaging (including reproductions of all 10 inserts). Received a 9.6 rating from Pitchfork Media."

FAUST - Faust IV 180 gram fourth album by one of the most experimental and demanding German groups of the '70's. This album from 1973 is not easy to describe but it's certainly more subdued and conventional than the previous album 'faust Tapes' though it's still a far cry from what anyone outside the German avant-garde rock scene was doing and still always challenging.

FEVER TREE - (S/T) "Fever Tree's lone hit single, the haunting 1968 tribal anthem 'San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native),' perfectly captured the spirit of the psychedelic era. Although their signature hit led many to assume that they were a Bay Area band, Fever Tree actually hailed from Houston, Texas. 'San Francisco Girls' quickly emerged as a staple of American underground FM radio, and won the band an international audience after becoming an airplay favorite of influential British DJ John Peel. 'San Francisco Girls' is also the centerpiece of Fever Tree's self-titled first LP, one of the period's most distinctive debut efforts. As the album demonstrates, the quintet was adept at incorporating jazz and classical influences, ambitious song structures and resourceful production touches. Such memorable numbers as 'The Sun Also Rises' and 'Come with Me (Rainsong)' benefit from Dennis Keller's hypnotic vocals, Michael Knust's dynamic guitar work and Rob Landes' inventive keyboard textures. Also included is a memorable medley of the Beatles' 'Day Tripper' and 'We Can Work It Out,' and a unique interpretation of the Neil Young/Buffalo Springfield nugget 'Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing.' Fever Tree's expansive musical settings also feature key contributions from a pair of noted arrangers: David Angel, renowned for his work on Love's Forever Changes and Gene Page, whose resume includes work with the likes of Phil Spector and Marvin Gaye. This one-of-a-kind debut album remains a deeply compelling sonic artifact. Sundazed's new vinyl edition of this vintage gem is mastered from the original analog tapes, features complete original cover art and is pressed on high-quality, high-definition vinyl, the better to recapture the original magic of this timeless album."

FIELDS - (ST) (Import/180 gram) Previously reissued on CD by Fallout, now issued on deluxe LP format as well; 180 gram pressing. This U.S. power trio's sole album was released on both sides of the Atlantic in 1969, but sank without a trace. Equally influenced by blues, soul and acid rock, it's an enjoyable mixture of snappy hard rock songs and the lengthy "Love Is The Word" suite, which occupies a whole side of the LP. Featuring backing vocals from Northern Soul legend Brenda Holloway and production by former Merry-Go-Round guitarist Bill Rinehart, it's a must for fans of bluesy psychedelic rock.

"FLAMIN GROOVIES - Supersnazz (RI/Sealed) 1968 debut from San Francisco power punkers. This album includes storming garage versions of "Rockin Pneumonia", "Somethin Else" and nine other tracks. Featuring the original line up, this album came out at a time when SF was ruled by the psychedelic stylings of the Dead/Airplane thus confirming its obscurity and cult status. $13.99

FLAT EARTH SOCIETY - Waleeco (Import/UK/180 gram) "Among the crown jewels of sought after 1960s American psychedelic records, The Flat Earth Society's Waleeco is a legendary album that more than lives up to its reputation. Recorded in 1968 for of all things a candy bar manufacturer (Waleeco being the name of the said confection) the album was only made available to candy fiends that sent in a few wrappers and $1.50. Anyone lucky enough to take advantage of that offer obtained a beautiful psychedelic rock/pop masterpiece that took in everything from dreamy West Coast-styled acid rock ('Feelin' Much Better,' 'When You're There') laid back Sunday morning acoustic folk ('I'm So Happy') driving garage psych rock ('Shadows,' 'In My Window') and full-on trippy psychedelia ('Portrait in Grey' and 'Satori'). The mind boggles at the idea of such a weird album being given away with Candy today. Featuring the wonderful liquid guitar work of Rick Doyle (who later went on to record in the UK for Chrysalis with the band Cottonwood) the Boston based Flat Earth Society were neither a gimmick or Bosstown Sound hype as this excellent album reveals. With all original material -- excepting a very laid back dreamy take on 'Midnight Hour' -- and restored from the original master tapes to its true stereo (original copies suffer from bad sound) this 180 gram reissue in a stunning psychedelic sleeve, is the ultimate edition of this period classic that sits head and shoulders above a sea of re-issue mediocrity!"

FLIPPERS - "Pronto viviremos un mundo mucho mejor": label description: “One of Colombia's better known 60's and 70's groups is Los Flippers. But few people outside Colombia know about this wonderful 1973 album, probably because it was self-released by their leader Arturo Astudillo's own label, rather than by the bigger labels they used before, hence low sales. But in any case, it's no doubt a great album that must be heard. The music on this album is quite special, as it blends psychedelia with progressive sound and soul as well. With a very good production, here we find Los Flippers at their peak of inspiration; by now, they were a bunch of very experienced musicians. The result is much more mature than any of their previous works; they achieved a sound that compares with that of any supergroup of the era. With all original compositions except a Buddy Miles cover, they used a good dose of psychedelic effects and some tasty horns as well. As an addition, this first ever reissue comes with a bonus track from an earlier single, with a killer sound reminiscent of Iron Butterfly. Remastered sound from tapes (except the bonus track), and insert with liners by Arturo Astudillo.

FLOOD - The Rise Of Flood (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) 180 gram vinyl re-issue of this album originally only issued as a promo album on a private label in 1970 this garage flavoured US psych album contains some killer fuzz guitar and is housed with original colour sleeve.. $15.99

FOLKLORDS - Release The Sunshine    (LP + 7) ( LIONLP 104) Here is an as perfect a reissue of this album as humanly possible, due to collaboration of band member who wrote history of the band and offered unseen photos.A captivating album, a notion shared by the many collectors world-wide who fight for original copies, which are few and far between. Glorious sound, as the reissue taken directly from the master-tapes. Bonus single is an exact replica of the rare, privately issued non-LP single, which features haunting, drum-less versions of Forty Second River and Unspoken Love, both of which were re-recorded for the original Allied release. Now, on to the presentation-the highest quality mastering and pressing ; the resulting LP is housed in a poly-lined sleeve, inside an ultra-heavy 1960's style gatefold jacket, which is housed in a loose-fitting plastic sleeve. The LP labels are replicas of the original Allied silver and blue labels. A top of the line pressing all the way. Limited edition of exactly 700 copies. $27.99

FOOD - Forever Is A Dream (RI/Sealed) Rare and only album by this psych band from Chicago. Recorded in 1969 it's expertly produced, lush orchestrated mellow psychedelia with great fuzz guitar work. Along with Gandalf and The Common People one of the Capitol Records holy trinity of psych.    $10.99

FOUR LEVELS OF EXISTENCE - (SAME) (RI) (IMPORT) (LTD)Hard rock psychedelia and fuzz guitar From Greece with great vocals and melodic second guitar lines with an orgy of fuzz layered on top.    Beautiful repro with 4 page insert and a one sheet about this great psychedelic rock act.    $26

FREAK SCENE - Psychedelic Psoul    Exact and official vinyl reissue of the post Deep 1967 US masterpiece that is full of acid induced madness. Tracks such as "Mind Bender", "My Rainbow Life" and "The Subway Through Inner Space" are pieces of pure acid genius from the mind of acid punk guru Rusty Evans. Essential. $13.99

FREE DESIGN - You Could Be Born Again    (Light In The Attic) The free design's 2nd album is the sound of a band discovering what they are capable of, amid the excitement of what is to come. Beautiful and elaborate originals intertwine with classic 60s pop hits, arranged in such a way that they could literally claim ownership. Duke Ellington's celestial 'I Like The Sunrise' takes a life of its own. Now pressed on 180 gram vinyl in an incredible US style thick card gatefold sleeve. $13.99

FREEPORT - (S/T) (180 GRAM) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1970. This is a limited edition vinyl version. Heavy organ rock from Ohio. Cleveland, 1968-1972. Formally known as Paper Sun and Freeport Express. "Paper Sun was formed in early '68 or so. Although not sure of the original lineup, in February 1969 the members included Eric Janson (guitar and vocals), Kevin Raleigh (keyboards and vocals), Craig Holt (bass), and Bill Stallings (drums). With this lineup they recorded some songs at Landen for the ill-fated Abbey Group deal. After Chess pulled the plug on the national distribution, a very limited local pressing of two songs -- 'Sweetest Thing On My Mind' (written by Phil Okulovich using his 'Jason Richards' pen name) and 'Here Comes Tomorrow,' written by Raleigh -- was done on the Abbey label. Paper Sun, befitting the Traffic-inspired moniker, played a 'progressive' style of late '60s rock sounds, and were popular at teen dances, such as the Hullabaloo clubs, around the area. At some time, the personnel changed where Janson was gone and two guitarists were added -- Dennis Stredney and Roger Lewis. Lewis had been in the Poppy but had to quit due to an injury sustained in a band van accident. Either prior to or with this lineup, they changed their name to Freeport. Freeport was a huge band in the NE Ohio area in 1970 -- playing constantly in Cleveland and the Youngstown areas. They recorded an LP in Miami for Mainstream records, which included several originals and the Eric Carmen song 'I Need Your Lovin'.' An additional 45 was also released with two songs not on the LP. The band also used the name Freeport Express but it's not clear if that was a name change. The band continued to play into 1971 or 1972." --Buckeye Beat

FRIAR TUCK - And His Psychedelic Guitar (Import/UK/180 gram) LP An oft-overlooked piece of the L.A. pop-psych jigsaw, this 1967 oddity combines typically complex vocal arrangements by the legendary Curt Boettcher with virtuoso guitar interludes from L.A. session legend Mike Deasy, and features backing from the team responsible for the landmark Millennium and Sagittarius LPs. A truly deranged mixture of cover versions and originals, making it an essential purchase for fans of sunshine pop and psychedelia.

GANDALF - (S/T) (180 Gram/Sealed) Beautiful reissue (from the label to the fantastic sleeve art) of this holy US psych album. Dreamy and trippy US '60s psych that has swirling keyboards and drifting guitars all over a selection of acidified melodic cover versions ("Golden Earrings" and "Hang On To A Dream") as well as brilliant originals ("Can You Travel In The Dark Alone"). An album that is worthy of it's reputation. This reissue is a must have!    $13.99

A GIFT FROM EUPHORIA - Euphoria's lone album "A Gift From Euphoria" came out to little fanfare on Capitol Records in 1969. In the 35 years since its release, the LP has become a highly sought-after collectors item. This very unusual album combines psych-pop and country-rock sounds with extravagant production values. The band recorded in Hollywood, London, and the famed Bradley's Barn near Nashville with studio musicians fresh off the sessions for "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo." The psych stuff is as good as the Moon and the country stuff is as good as Hearts And Flowers... basically, it's as great as they come. One of the most interesting '60s reissues of the last few months. Not to be missed at any cost.

GOLDEN DAWN - POWER PLANT (180 GRAM) Exact repro 180g vinyl edition of this all-time classic TX psych album. "One of the most powerful Int'l Artists albums, released in 1968. Some will go so far as to say that this album defines the Texas third-mind psych revolution, even more so than Easter Everywhere. The combinations of Eastern-tinged philosophical lingering, staggering hallucinogenics and pure Texan dirt produced a legitimate monster of its time."

GRANICUS – (ST) Classic early '70s hard rock LP from Ohio, in a heavily Led Zeppelin-influenced mode but with less of the pomp and circumstance. In true American fashion, the album is pretty savage and excessive at times, but with a pro production sound that somewhat exceeds the band's abilities. Probably best categorized as the middle child between the Raven/St. Anthony's Fyre school of basement jamming and the Zep/Leafhound school of big amps and mustaches, and should please fans of both.

GRODECK WHIPPERJENNY - (S/T) (RI/Sealed) Rare and little known 1970 US psych classic that is loaded with fuzz guitars, backward Hammond sounds and male/female vocal harmonies. Plenty of psychedelic strangeness in this album from the opening cut "Sitting Here On A Tongue" with it's fuzz guitars through to the West coast sounding "Why Can't I Go Back". Highly recommended to fans of New Tweedy Brothers and similar lesser known US '60's acid psych bands. $10.99

GROWING CONCERN - (S/T) (Sealed) Exact 180 gram vinyl reissue of Jefferson Airplane like '60s US psych. Fantastic ringing acid guitar work with male / female vocal duets that swoop and dive over a strong acid folk / rock backing. Essential for the US '60s fanatic.    $15.99

GRUPO AMIGOS - Paloma Mensajera (Import/Guerssen Records) Vinyl release of an album originally released as a demo pressing in 1973, and is without doubt one of the rarest albums from the South American psych scene. Influenced by groups like the Beatles, Byrds, Stones, Badfinger, Shakers and of course Laghonia and We All Together, the music ranges from guitar psych-rock like "Dirty Girl" (like an outtake from Laghonia's first album) to Brit sounding pop-psych ("Mr. Taylor's Train", "Psychiatrist") harmony pop á la Byrds on "Looking for home", a few rockin' tunes and some beautiful mid-tempos which show their We All Together influence. They alternate English & Spanish in their lyrics.Features an insert with liner notes and rare pictures. Taken from the original master tapes and licensed by Saúl Cornejo. 500 copies only! $26.99

HAYMARKET SQUARE - MAGIC LANTERN "The legendary, one and only Chicago psychedelic garage sounds of Haymarket Square come to the Void. Just a 700 press on black vinyl, glossy pink cover and insert, unseen in any other reissue before this. 'Elevator,' 'Train Kept a Rollin' and many more, this LP has become a scarce collector's item today. Originally released in 1968, the Void issue will become the standard for listeners of Haymarket Square."

HEAD OVER HEELS - (S/T) (1971) (Sealed) Exact reproduction from Capitol, with the original label!! Killer Hard rock power trio from Michigan led by guitarist & vocalist Paul Frank who's wild acid rock solo's dominate this great release. Originally released in 1971 this album instantly achieved cult status and sits in well with bands such as Damnation, Power Of Zeus, Grand Funk and other early '70's US long hair heavy rock bands. 180 gram vinyl and the original artwork make this issue a must. $12.99

HEAD SHOP - (S/T) (RI/Sealed) Classic US '60s expolito-psych album that goes totally over the top. Crammed full of distorted acid guitar and weird effects (choirs, backwards bits etc.) this is like a bit like Vanilla Fudge but much more extreme... Tracks like "Listen With A Third Ear" and "Prophecy" are particularly mind disturbing. This is fantastic psychedelia.    $10.99

HENRY TREE - Electric Holy Man (RI/180 Gram) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1969. This is a limited edition vinyl version. "Produced by Bob Shad, 1969's Electric Holy Man differed from a lot of other early-1970s Mainstream releases in that it showcased a progressive streak rather than the popsike sound that was common to the label. Moreover, for a trio, these guys sported a surprisingly full sound, helped in no small measure by Markish's impressive voice. 'Mr. Fear,' their Traffic cover and the extended title track showcase that interesting jazzy streak with some stunning work from un-credited jazz guitarist Bill DeArango. Mind you, there was still plenty of fuzz driven guitar (check out the second half of the title track), but it didn't come close to these other highlights and the group's most commercial effort; the ballad 'Lady Of Day' was also the album's most disposable offering." --Lajso Sound Ltd.

HOLY GHOST    RECEPTION COMITTEE: #9 - Songs For Liturgical Worship (1967) (Void/Ltd.) Exact reissue of this Christian psych album    from 1967.    Great Christian psychedelic songs that are sure to blow your mind. These boys were going to Catholic High in the late '60s, dropping acid, and listening to The Beatles. The result is cool, intelligent, raw, psychedelic sounds. This is the best example of    what Christian psych can be."    $18.99

HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS - (S/T) 180 gram vinyl. "Originally released in 1964 this is the debut album from Greenwich Village's strangest folk revivalists. At odds with the tired rehashing of folk tunes that was so in vogue at the time, the duo of Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber took traditional material and obliterated it. In the words of Peter Stampfel 'The Rounders were the first really bent traditional band. And the first traditionally based band that was not trying to sound like an old record.' And thank God for that. Remastered from the original tapes, the debut from the 60s folk revival biggest outcasts. Classic."

THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS - Good Taste Is Timeless "Now available on high-definition vinyl. The seminal Greenwich Village acid-folkies' twisted Americana collided with mainstream Nashville to produce this 1971 cult classic. Features cover art and songwriting by alt-folk hero Michael Hurley and contributions from original Elvis Presley sidemen Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, jazz icon Bob Dorough, beloved vocalist Tracy Nelson and steel guitar legend Pete Drake. Includes the Rounders' risqué left field hit 'Boobs a Lot.'" Gatefold sleeve.

THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS The Moraly Eels Eat... "Led by maverick folksters Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber, the Holy Modal Rounders fused Greenwich Village strum and Appalachian drone with enough mind-altering chemicals to derail the Wabash Cannonball. Here's an exact 180-gram vinyl repro of their hideously rare 1968 masterpiece, which spotlights such drug-addled ramblings as 'The Bird Song,' featured in the Easy Rider soundtrack."

THE D.R. HOOKER BAND - Armageddon (180 gram) LP Exact repro reissue of D.R. Hooker's follow-up to The Truth. Recorded in 1974, but not released until 1979 on Connecticut-based Here Music/On Records. A "demo tapes & rough mixes" album featuring a different line-up then featured on Hooker's legendary debut: Carroll Yanni (lead guitar), Bert McDevitt (drums, Bob Reardon (keyboards) and Steve Malkan (bass). "The recordings you will hear are the result of the efforts of a group of talented and creative musicians. They are the finest of a two-hour live concert of completely original music.... This recording was not originally intended for public release."

D.R. HOOKER - The Truth 180 gram exact repro reissue of this legendary, super rare U.S. psych LP, originally recorded during the dawn of mankind or in Connecticut in 1972. "This is a messed-up, freaky mix of folk-rock, psychedelia and heavy rock. There appears to be somewhat of a Christian vibe lyrically, but not overt enough to make it too cheesy, just adds to the overall bizarreness of this almost indescribable artifact!" -- Cosmik Debris

BRADLEY HOPKINS - Nothing Hides Better Than (Void) "Legendary folk psych duo recorded a very rare private LP back in 1973. Originals go for big bucks. Every song is well written and played. All originals including title song. 700 pressing from master tapes on black vinyl, including lyric sheet. The original had just a blank white cover. Here we have a glossy cool color cover approved by the band. This is somewhat like a more folky Stone Harbour in its basement sound and eclectic vibes. Even has a Lennon-McCartney feel if they did acid folk loner vibes. We picked this for our 50th release because I love the music here. Highly regarded by all collectors who have heard it." Includes lyric sheet.

IHRE KINDER - (ST) "Ihre Kinder, formed in 1968, were the pioneers among the politically and socially engaged groups in Germany. Their third album, 2357004 (also known as Jeanscover) was originally released on Kuckuck in 1971 and it is considered to be their best. A great German progressive Krautrock effort, that should be part of every serious '70s progressive rock collection. Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl, original jeans cover and insert, exact reproduction of the original first pressing"

THE INSECT TRUST - (S/T) (180 Gram/Sealed) Gatefold sleeve of this classic 1968 release from the USA. Featuring the sweet vocals of Nancy Jefferies and a whole cast of accompanying musicians including Luke Faust from the Holy Modal Rounders. Electric guitars, percussionists, banjo players and a woodwind section merge to create a curious blend of dreamy electric folk music and very trippy psychedelia that sits on a mushroom somewhere between The Airplane and Kaleidoscope. Includes a great version of Gbaor Szabo's "Walking On Nails". An album that has long been awaiting a reissue and highly recommended    $12.99

ITZIAR - (ST) (RI) (Guerssen/Guess 011) (500 ltd. press) (original gatefold cover and insert)Female singer Itziar led this Spanish group with a progressive edge from the late'70's, featuring fragile mostly acoustic and simply beautiful tracks!!    $24.99

J. K. & CO. - Suddenly One Summer "In 1968, under the sway of the Beatles and LSD, 15 year old guitarist/singer Jay Kaye trekked from Las Vegas to Vancouver, British Columbia. There, with a topnotch team of session musicians, he recorded Suddenly One Summer, a dark masterpiece of orchestral psychedelia, intended to musically represent the life and death of a man. This first-ever legitimate reissue of this ultra rare album is available on CD and 180 gram vinyl, direct from the analog master tapes, and features interviews with Jay Kaye and key members of his Company."

JAGGED EDGE aka the Offset "A Change is Gonna Come" LP “Part of the mystique of the '60s garage legacy is that the bands seemed to put all of their considerable talents into one or two singles, and that was it. But behind every 45 there often lurked a handful of equally killer tunes performed or even recorded, but never released at the time. The Jagged Edge from Brooklyn, New York, seemed to have it all: the chops, an excellent (and decent-selling) debut 45, and competent management. They'd performed with a veritable who's who of big-name artists, and they seemed poised for better things. But it all went downhill suddenly, beginning with a threatening lawsuit over their name. Crucial momentum was lost and the Jagged Edge never reached the prominence they deserved. Now the exposure they warranted all along is finally here. Break-A-Way presents the bands first complete long player including their two singles and a fistful of six vintage demos. The LP has the bands 1966 all-time garage classic debut 45, ‘You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down’ b/w ‘How She’s Hurtin Me’ and their second single release ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ b/w their wild psychedelic raga classic ‘Xanthia’ recorded under the moniker “the Off-Set“. There are two alternate takes of the single tracks and four completely unreleased 1965/66 recordings such as the dramatic psych/punker ‘Lies I Spoke’ (complete with psychy effects and a raga-esque break); the strong moody folkrocker ‘Look In Her Eyes’ as well as ‘Reflections’ and ‘Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself,’ two tracks from the poppier side of the band. This collection proves that the Jagged Edge were way ahead of their times and finally carve out their slice of rock history. All tracks are painstakingly remastered.

JASPER WRATH - (S/T)    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) This U.S. 60's group works in a beautiful (and often baroque) blend of styles -- bits of late folk rock mixed with headier instrumentation that includes 12 string guitars, harpsichord, organ, celeste, and lots of odd percussion -- plus some nice use of theramin and oscillators! The core sound is honest and earthy -- almost personally poetic -- but the expanded instrumentation really takes the album into more ambitious space, yet somehow manages to do so without the cliches of bigger groups working in a similar style at the time. $13.99

JAY JAYS - (SAME) SEALED (IMPORT) Excellent Dutch beat group.    Alongside the Outsiders & the Motions this is excellent garage freakbeat!! $19.00

JELLY BEAN BANDITS (ST) (180 Gram) Exact repro 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing; originally released in 1969. "Newburgh, New York psych-punks the Jelly Bean Bandits formed in 1966. Singer Billy Donald, guitarist Jack Dougherty, bassist Fred Buck, keyboardist Michael 'Mr. Addams' Raab, and drummer Joe 'Laredo London' Scalfari originally operated as The Mirror, regularly packing area nightspots like the local Trade Winds, Poughkeepsie's Buccaneer Nightclub, and Burlington, Vermont's Red Dog. In due time, they recorded a three-song demo reel that resulted in a three album recording contract with Mainstream Records -- however, unknown to Mainstream, these three songs represented the sum total of the Jelly Bean Bandits' repertoire, forcing the band to write enough additional material to flesh out a full-length LP in the course of a week. Amazingly, their eponymous 1967 debut is excellent, a freakbeat cult classic distinguished by Dougherty's emotive guitar and some innovative production techniques -- all the more impressive, the album was recorded in a single 12-hour stretch." -- All Music Guide

A JOINT EFFORT - Final Effort (Void/800 Press) "Mega-rare Canadian acid folk rock with a trippy feel throughout. Sought after by all the big collectors, originals fetch four figures, now. This is a legitimate 800 pressing made from a sealed vinyl copy with some mastering. 'Hicthhiker's Dream,' 'Bus Song,' 'Greed For Gold,' and more. Original cover has been reproduced as well as a rare original insert. Black vinyl, Escher cover... a biggie, daddy-o." Public notice: includes a cover of "Horse With No Name" -- DJ Hell, watch your back!    $16.99

JOSEFUS - (S/T) (RI/180Gram) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1970. This is a limited edition vinyl version. "Authors of two albums published in 1970, the Texas based Josefus are the quintessence of hard psych made in the USA -- a gritty sound featuring prominent guitar and a solid and agile rhythmic base. This second album by Josefus, released a year after their debut, confirms their place as one of the most interesting and underestimated bands of the era. Largely influenced by early Zeppelin and British blues, Josefus deftly brought late sixties hard rock into the '70s, anticipating sounds that would later become synonymous with bands like ZZ Top and giving birth to a genre that would eventually give way to heavy metal."

JOYRIDE - Friend Sound Exact re-issue of this 1969 oddity.    A perfect example of too much studio time and too many drugs!    An obviously stoned group of studio players get jazzy and psychedelic on RCA's dime.    Cool! $10.99

JUJUS “You Treat Me Bad” "Since their arrival on the music scene in 1965, the mystique of The JuJus and their lead singer, Ray Hummel, has continued to grow over the ensuing decades (helped along by the inclusion of 'You Treat Me Bad' on the first volume of Pebbles in 1979). That song, their first single, rose to the number two position on the top 40 and catapulted the band to regional fame in Michigan. The JuJus initially blended an impressive brand of folk-rock and British-invasion sounds with a raw garage band sound. In 1967 they opted for a more psychedelic sound. Compiled on this 14-track LP (the vinyl version of the recent Cicadelic label CD reissue) are all the JuJu singles, as well as a plethora of unreleased gems from 1965 to 1967. A detailed insert contains a retrospective of The JuJus as related by band member Rod Shepard, alongside cool photos and band memorabilia.”

KALEIDOSCOPE (Mex) - Kaleidoscope LP Incredible Mexican mind expander from the late '60s that could have easily been on an 'Endless Journey' comp. Mind frying fuzz guitars, electronic psychedelic effects, swirling keyboards and drugged lyrics/vocals in English. A major find for fans of the genuine article....

KALEIDOSCOPE - A Beacon From Mars This US '60s band mixed exotic Middle Eastern music with hip West Coast Psychedelia. A brilliant blend that results in the killer Eastern Jam "Taxim" and the stoned "BEACON FROM MARS", both found on this classic album....

KALEIDOSCOPE -    Side Trips (RI) What's going on??? Incredible West Coast psych from the '60s with a Middle Eastern edge... Essential for any US Psych collection.. $10.99

KANSAS CITY JAMMERS - Got Good (if you get it) (Void/Ltd. 500/w/45) Recorded between 1969 and 1971 by a college trio struggling between getting good grades and scoring good drugs. The result: excellent psychedelia!    Their LP is a mixture of electric acid-folk and intense rock. This is a limited edition (500 copies only) that includes a non-LP 45 for bonus. Also includes an insert with band history, and a sharp looking glossy cover Great sound, as it is taken from the original master tapes. $18.99

KATMANDU - (S/T) (RI/180 Gram) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1971. This is a limited edition vinyl version. "This U.S. 1971 band included Bob Caldwell and Bob Jabo, the latter of whom had been in Miami's Shaggs. Scarce, keyboard-oriented hard rock. Caldwell would go on to have the big hit 'What You Won't Do For Love' in 1977. The group was playing the Miami circuit when they were discovered by Little Richard. The album is more on the R&B/blues side,and has some nice guitar & keyboard work (a fine example is 'Cotton Mouth'), the guitar work at times reminds of Steely Dan. A solid album." --Red Telephone66 blog

KENNY & THE KASUALS “1966-1968 The Singles... Plus” (MV003): Texas had without any doubt a great number of fine and very original bands during the 1960s, with The 13th Floor Elevators at the very top of the list of course, followed by almost forgotten groups that recorded whole albums like the great Golden Dawn, Lost & Found or the positively weird Red Crayola. There were also a slew of great Texas garage bands whose sole appearances have been on countless compilations. One of the very best of these bands was Kenny & the Kasuals. Thus it is that that we can say that we are genuinely excited about this original twenty track compilation fully authorized by Kenny B. Daniel, containing the best tracks the band recorded between 1966 and 1968. All their singles, all originals, including the killer fuzz-bass classic, 'Journey to Tyme', plus several unreleased tracks too. One of the best examples of US garage, teenbeat, or proto-psych, and a must have for each and every serious garage/psych collector. Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl. First ever vinyl issue of this title.

KHAZAD-DOOM - Level 6/1 2    (Void Records - VOID 43)    Reissue on vinyl of classic HEAVY progressive garage album from 1970 USA in collaboration with guitarist Jack Eadon. LP housed in colour cover as per the original with insert! This very limited re-issue has 1 extra bonus track.Sixties psychedelic experimentation with a progressive edge. Limited press 800 copies only worldwide. $16.99

KHAZAD DOOM - Cherry Town LP (ltd/700/Void Records) "This is a limited 700 pressing on black vinyl with brilliant color cover and incredible color songbook with each album. Recorded in 1967 prior to the legendary Level 6 1/2 album, this is a brilliant album of fantasy Beatles-esque garage psychedelia. The whole package on vinyl and CD sounds and looks brilliant."

THE KOALA - (S/T) (180 Gram/Ltd) Re-issue of this superbly snotty collection Of U.S. Garage Psychedelia.Originally appeared In 1969.    Though the band were marketed as being from Australia, they were In fact New Yorkers, whose short, sharp songs, snarling guitars, and occasional psychedelic flourishes make it a must have for all fans of psych punk. Titles include "She's A Lady", "You Say", "Scattered Children's Toys", "Colours Of Our Rainbow", and "Poor Discarded Baby". $13.99

LA LIBRE EXPRESSION “S/T” (Import) Very limited reissue of this '60's Mexican garage psych gem similar to Los Ovnis and The Flying Karpets. Spirited, fuzz laden cover versions of songs by Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer, Young Rascals, Jimi Hendrix and others laden with the over-the-top enthusiasm expected from this part of the world. Great psych art sleeve too.

LA LOGIA - Sarabanda (Import) "Super-obscure quasi solo project by M. Loubet, author of all tracks with the exception of the cover version of Tito Puente's 'Guayaba.' This Uruguayan group -- originally released on Lider -- mixes up traditional candombe essences with Latin funk psych-fuzz influences for a very neat piece of pop music history of pre-dictatorial Uruguay (1973)."

LACEWING - (ST) (Mainstream/180 Gram) Exact repro reissue of this LP, originally issued on Mainstream in 1970, colored vinyl edition. Psych from Ohio, previously renowned in their area as the Measles. "A name change to something 'hipper' was needed, so Lacewing became the new and short lived moniker . The Lacewing LP was recorded at Criteria studios in Miami, just like the other NE Ohio bands like Decembers' Children and Freeport. A 45 of 'Paradox' was released but neither the 45 or LP got much action, as there was no promotion even at the local level. After the Mainstream deal had played out, the band reverted back to the Measles and continued to be a major local attraction for a few more years. Joe Walsh added some continuity to the Measles/Lacewing path when he included Mary Sterpka to sing the backing vocals on the James Gang hit 'Midnight Man.' Bob Webb joined the James Gang on the last LP." --Buckeye Beat

LAZY SMOKE - Corridor of Faces "In a genre built on obscured and unsung genius, Corridor Of Faces transcends and stands out as a true psyche masterpiece. Rising above any number of recently unearthed late-60s anglo-pop platters, the sole offering from small town Massachusetts phenomenon Lazy Smoke is a cohesive, solid, classic album in every sense. Ten songs that weave into one-another, painting some beautifully drifty sonic picture as they go. The first remarkable trait of Lazy Smoke's sound is the lead vocals' uncanny similarity to John Lennon. If that likeness was the whole story, we would have a Beatles sound-alike on our hands, and that would be that. Upon digging just a little deeper below the surface, we instead find a darker tone and a patient, eerie and almost shut-in feeling resonating through the songs. While bands like The Beatles and The Left Banke were singing about love, lament and hallucinated travel experiences, the songs on Corridor Of Faces get sincerely dark right away. Even the seemingly-light teenage love-themed 'Sarah Saturday' shares an undercurrent of on-the-edge uncertainty and dread. It's this undercurrent that calls to mind comparisons to Forever Changes-era Love and the more damaged end of the pop spectrum. Originally privately pressed in MA in an edition of only 500 copies in 1968." Features original cover art, printed inner sleeve with rare photos and band history.

LINCOLN STREET EXIT - Drive It Founded by Sioux Indians in the late '60s, The LINCOLN ST Exit recorded this excellent album in 1970, before turning into the more well known Xit. A mixture of blistering hard rock, psychedelia and native American Indian politics, this has now become a much sought after collector's item. Ranging from the psych-heavy blues ridden "Dirty Mother Blues" to the easy going "Soulful Drifter", and in between there are songs reflecting the times, the Vietnam era vibe hanging over the US.

LITTER - $100 FINE - (RI/180 GRAM) Legit 180 gram reissue of this US psychedelic masterpiece. Includes their rockin' "Mindbreaker", the freaky "Apologies To 2069", the heavily phased "Kaleidoscope" and an elongated mesmeric rendition of "She's Not There".

LITTER - Distortions One of the finest examples of sixties psychedelic punk, this first album by The litter contains a number of fuzzed up feedback drenched cover versions such as "I'm A Man", "Codine" and the Who tracks "Substitute" and "A Legal Matter" as well as awesome originals such as "Action Woman".

LIVERPOOL - Por Favor, Sucesso (Import/Shadoks) (with 7" EP) From Brazil, 1969/1970. Numbered edition of 450 copies. "Liverpool is one of our favorite bands from Brazil. The LP Por Favor, Sucesso ('Please, Success') comes together with the ultra-rare 7 inch EP Marcelo Zona Sul, a Brazilian movie from 1970 (you can watch a film-clip on Youtube). This flower power art rock album stands out among the other Brazilian psych albums. It is as good as Modolu 1000 but with better composed songs, influenced by the British Underground, with great guitars, Hammond, effects, complex compositions, uplifting vocals with lots of soul, Allman Brothers style wailing guitars, wah-wah, sometimes sweet and mellow, sometimes extra heavy psychedelic -- all with a great touch of Brazilian music. Perhaps one of the best albums from South America. All original tracks -- 19 in total (including the 6 EP tracks). Enjoy this one."

LOLLIPOP SHOPPE - Just Colour (180 Gram) 2008 release. Exact-repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. One of Fred (Dead Moon) Cole's earliest bands. "'You Must Be A Witch' by the Lollipop Shoppe was one of the most ferocious garage punk singles of the 1960s, a savage blast of paranoia and electric guitar that became a sought-after collectable among garage fanatics and one of the high points of the Nuggets box set. The tune was powerful enough that one had to wonder how a group so fierce would come up with a name as silly as the Lollipop Shoppe, and the truth is they didn't: they were known as the Weeds until their manager scored them a deal with Uni Records, who found their original moniker too outré (the marijuana reference didn't help) and saddled them something a bit more 'mod'. The Lollipop Shoppe cut just one album, 1967's Just Colour, and 'You Must Be A Witch' is easily the most hard-edged cut on the record, but if the Lollipop Shoppe don't hit quite as hard on the other 11 tunes, the material is strong enough to impress any fan of vintage garage or psychedelia." -- All Music

LOST AND FOUND - Everybody's Here (RI) LP Founded in Houston Texas in 1965, these guys were label mates and friends of the 13th Floor Elevators. This is a reissue of their long-lost 1967 album and the Elevators influences are here for all to hear. There's even a cover of "Don't Fall Down", whilst the band's original songs stand up well by themselves, especially the awesome 7 minute "Living Eye"....

LOVE - LOVE LOST Deluxe gatefold 2LP version. "The material on Love Lost -- comprised of the unreleased Columbia sessions, plus five unreleased acoustic demos from the same period -- captures Love in a transitional phase, charting the next step in Lee's idiosyncratic musical trajectory, following the lush garage-psychedelia of the classics Da Capo and Forever Changes, and the bluesier direction of the hard-rocking False Start and Out Here. Many of the songs included on Love Lost would resurface, often in radically different form, on subsequent Love releases, and on Lee's fabled solo album Vindicator. But the original versions included on Love Lost boast a playful looseness that's absent from most of Lee's later work, as well as a raw, edgy urgency that underlines his credentials as an early progenitor of punk-rock attitude. Love Lost also features three songs -- 'For a Day,' 'Trippin' & Slippin'' and 'C.F.I. Instrumental' -- that have not previously been released, in any form. With a treasure trove of vintage Love music that has never before been heard by fans, Love Lost is a major addition to Arthur Lee and Love's body of work, and its release is a major event for Lee's fervent fan base."

MAD RIVER - (S/T) (180 Gram/Sealed) Official and exact vinyl repro of the original version of this 1968 stoned US West Coast classic. This legendary debut album is a trippy acid rock gem that sounds somewhat like H P Lovecraft meets Quicksilver MS on speed. Features "Amphetamine Gazelle", "Wind Chimes" and the stunning 12 minute "War Goes On". Definitely out there, and ranking with the best West Coast classics, without a doubt. $12.99

MAGIC - Enclosed -Florida-based band released this album in 1969, feat. Nick King, Gary Harger, Duane King & ex-Birdwatchers member Joey Murcia 971. Psychedelic guitars abound on this project!"

MANDRAKE MEMORIAL - (S/T) (RI/Sealed)    The mandrake memorial was a psychedelic progressive-rock quartet which helped pioneer the use of electronics in rock music. This is an exact repro of their self-titled debut from 1968 and it concentrates on the bands song-writing skills within ten group compositions. These songs are strange ethereal psych explorations with haunting vocals, harpsichord like keyboards and tight arrangements and they sound like nothing else made by any other band. One of the first band to use synthesisers on a regular basis, they even blew The Doors off stage at one memorable gig! $10.99

MAYPOLE - The Real (1970)(Anopheles Records) "The first ever authorized, high quality vinyl LP reissue of Baltimore, Maryland's Maypole, whose sole album, The Real, was recorded in three days, July 1970, and released in early 1971, shortly before their label folded, dooming the album to stillborn status commercially at the time, and collector want list status today. The LP is an ambitious, 50-minute feast of tight harmonies, powerful arrangements, fluid improvisation, and flat out great songs, and serves as a touchstone for twin guitar-driven, West Coast-styled psychedelia, soaring power pop, and blistering hard rock -- some even call it prog.    The stature of Maypole has been muddied by the previous CD reissues, but this LP edition gets it right. Featuring state of the art remastering and pressing, a high quality full color 'tip on' jacket featuring original artwork, and a full color insert loaded with lyrics, photos, and complete historical notes by Maypole founder, Dennis Tobell, this is the closest to 'classic psychedelia' Anopheles Records has delved in to date, and we're glad we didn't settle for something second rate -- Maypole is The Real." $21.99

THE MAZE - ARMAGEDDON LP reissue of this psychedelic rock album from 1968. "The advent of ear-splitting, cortex-skewering bands like the Maze really did signal the end of the sixties. But just like that ultimate orgasmic blast during the finale of a great fireworks show, what a perfect way to go. A glittering psychedelic diamond presented here in it's previously unheard original MONO mix!"

MCCHURCH SOUNDROOM “Delusion” The album cover of this rare Krautrock album is devoid of information (except that the lyrics are by Marcel Schaar), so any history of the band is impossible at present. Nevertheless, it has long been established as a major Krautrock title. Here is what Crack in the Cosmic Egg says about it: “starting deceptively in folk-rock realms, “Delusion” moves around a lot, never sitting comfortably within any genre; it is largely instrumental, bridging psychedelic, hard-rock and fusion, being variably comparable to Gomorrah, Thirsty Moon and other such bands. Perhaps the nearest comparison is Gravy Train's superb debut, which similarly featured flute in a variety of rock and fusion styles. A classic!” Engineered by the “third member of Neu!”, Conny Plank.

THE MILLENNIUM - BEGIN (180 GRAM) Produced by Curt Boettcher and Keith Olsen, whose dazzlingly inventive soundscapes and choral arrangements pushed the boundaries of music far beyond the breaking point to create a perfect hybrid of Soft Rock and Psychedelia!!

LOS MOCKERS "COMPLETE RECORDINGS 1965 - 1967 (150 gram/Sealed) A complete compilation of all the recordings by ones of thee best R&B South American bands of the 1960s. Fully influenced by the British Invasion, this 5-piece from Uruguay was forever in competition with their counterparts, los Shakers (parallel to the Beatles/Stones) and were considered the Satanic Majesty of the Río de la Plata. Wild. Plain and simple, you cannot not own this piece of the 60s in South America $13.99

MONKS - Black Time - (RI/Sealed)    The whole of the original and legendary 1966 album from the band formed in Germany by ex-US servicemen. Powerful and highly original garage punk / Freak Beat music with the addition of an electric banjo! Savage, raw, energetic and decidedly strange in places...

MORGEN - (S/T) (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Stone Cold classic US '60s heavy psych album with lashings of freaked out effected guitar, trippy songs and a dark stoned vibe that sends shivers down your spine. It certainly blows a lot of the other mega rarities away with it's bizarre lyrics, which set an eerie tone to the proceedings ("The nights a crazy shade of purple/the moon's a strange kind of green"). The sound is raw in the best possible way with no compromises to be found, with punky vocals highly original material and acid guitars that wont quit Awesome stuff! Finally getting a quality reissue on 180 gram vinyl, housed in repro sleeve.    $13.99

MORNING DEW - (S/T) (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    From 1967 came this debut by a band from Kansas. A driving fuzz guitar psych album with with swirling keyboards, this is a fine addition to the ranks of '60s US Psychedelic Classics. Originals are mega-rare so this welcome reissue won't burn a hole in your pocket either... $13.99

MOVING SIDEWALKS - Flash "This 1968 release of Flash is the only famous album by this Texas trio, featuring a young Billy Gibbons, later of ZZ Top fame, and it includes 5 bonus tracks from the CD re-release. Featuring '99th Floor,' the smash hit that was a sensation in the acid-psych scene of late 1960s Texas, and gained them the # 1 spot in the charts for 6 weeks. Printed inner sleeve."

MORNING GLORY - Two Suns Worth This overlooked acid pop treat has been compared to albums by Jefferson Airplane and the Mamas and the Papas, though it's less experimental than the former and more psychedelic than the latter. Originally released in May 1968, it was engineered by John Cale (Velvet Underground) and produced by Abe Kesh (familiar to psych fans for his work with Blue Cheer, the Savage Resurrection and others). A solid collection of West Coast hippie rock featuring the hypnotic psych classic Jelly Gas Flame.

MURPHY BLEND - FIRST LOSS "Murphy Blend's (named after a pipe tobacco) only album, is one of the best and rarest early German progressive rock records. Excellent Hammond organ, that delivers a unique heavy psychedelic Krautrock sound. It was originally released on the legendary Kuckuck label in 1970. English lyrics. Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl, heavy exact texture cover."

MUSIC EMPORIUM (ST) LP version in full color, die-cut gatefold sleeve (as per the original). 180 gram vinyl. "Blistering rockers with wispy melodies, Buddhist chants with wild-eyed psychedelic anthems: all part of the unique acid-folk vision of LA's Music Emporium, led by key-board virtuoso/singer Bill 'Casey' Cosby. For this first ever legitimate reissue of their supremely rare 1969 album -- now on 180 gram vinyl (with original die-cut, gatefold cover faithfully reproduced) -- we've purchased the original masters, interviewed the band, found never-before-seen snapshots, and added five cool bonus tracks."

BONNIWELL MUSIC MACHINE - IGNITION "This one finds Sean Bonniwell and band back in the garage exhaling rare tracks ranging from early unissued demos to their final 1969 experimental recordings!"

LOS MUTANTES - Mutantes Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Originally released in 1969, the explosive second album from Brazil's essential tropicalia band. "The most blatantly psychedelic of these three albums with warped references to traditional Latin American music. More of a heavy rock sound is present here than on the debut, with plenty of scuzzy psychedelic guitar work, and a Moby Grape vs. 13th Floor Elevators mood. Blended as per Mutantes usual with an assortment of odd-sounding electronics, and samba dance rhythms.

MUTANTES - JARDIM ELETRICO 180 gram exact repro reissue, licensed from Universal. Originally released in 1971. "One of the absolute highlights of the album is the humorous 'El Justiciero,' which features Spanish lyrics and also some Spanish-style guitar play. Other great songs are 'Tecnicolor,' which has lyrics in English, the melodious and slightly Beatlesque 'Virgínia,' and 'Tudo, Tudo, Tudo,' a song that features a bluesy mouth harmonica. On these and other tracks on the album, the music of Os Mutantes is just as playful and creative as ever." -- All Music Guide

"LES NAPOLEONS - A GO GO (Import) Sporting a subtitle that says "music for dancing", Les Napoleons offer an engaging mix of snarling garage rockers and Mersybeat-inspired pop. While isolated ballads such as "Tu es Partie" and "La Vie Sans Toi" are okay, the band's at their best on up-tempo rockers such as "Fou de Toi", "Reviens" and "Je M'en Fou". The set's low-fi production feel adds to the overall appeal. Translated covers of The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" and "We Can Work It Out" are great. Although all ten tracks are sung in French, the energetic performances more than compensate for the fact the lyrics are largely a mystery.

NEIGHB'RHOOD CHILDR'N - Long Years In Space (1967-68) Double LP version, in gatefold sleeve. "Marinated in influences as mind-splintering as the mushroom folk/rock blast of the Jefferson Airplane as well as the feel-good pristine pop of The Turtles, the Neighb'rhood Childr'n's one album trades hands these days for sums usually mentioned in ransom notes. We've added a dozen unreleased brownies, spun gold from the original session tapes, and Prof. Jud has squeezed the band's legend from vocalist Dyan Hoffman and guitarist Ric Bolz in this latest addition to the Dazed's acclaimed and essential Quakes From The Eureka State series."

NEUTRAL SPIRITS (ST) (VOID) "Legendary South Carolina garage band with the unique 'fuzz' bass sound. Songs are somewhat primitive and lyrically innocent, which is the charm of this LP. Somewhat similar perhaps to Cykle or New Dawn. Originally from 1972-1973, 4-piece group. Songs of dope, Vietnam, the government... 'scenic void.'"

NEW COLONY SIX - Breakthrough (Sundazed) One of the most essential garage albums ever, loaded with the trademark sunshine pop harmonies.This 1966 debut album from this act influenced by the British invasion and the emerging teen psych sound is a storming release.

WILLIAM NOWIK - PAN SYMPHONY IN E MINOR One of the newest and most surprising discoveries in the '60s & '70s rock rarities field, William Nowik's Pan Symphony In E Minor caused a big hype among collectors. Certainly easy to understand, as it's an ace album no one had heard of before. Guitarist William Nowik recorded this obscure instrumental record back in 1974 somewhere in New York. It has such a deep feeling, and is nothing anyone could have done without really loving it aside of any commercial view. Psychedelic, progressive, very early Floyd-sounding at times, Crimson-esque, and a kind of sound that reminds of the early '70s British underground but with an experimental, trippy touch. Fourteen tracks in total, but played like suites. Seems only 200 copies were pressed and never distributed, so it needed 35 years to be discovered! This wonderful reissue comes with the intended original artwork (it came out in a green and black cover instead of the black and white that William wanted), has nice remastered sound and includes an insert with rare, unseen photos and extended liner-notes.

NUCLEUS - (S/T) (RI/180 Gram) Exact repro edition of this LP, originally issued in 1969. This is a limited edition vinyl version. Not to be confused w/the UK jazz/rock group of the same name. "Canada's Greg Fitzpatrick, Sebastian Agnello, Danny Taylor, Hughie Leggat, and John Richardson were teenagers in The Lords Of London, who played to their peers on weekends. They released several singles in the mid-'60s, scoring a Canadian hit with 'Cornflakes And Ice Cream.' However, it failed to ignite the attention of Americans and the group began a slow evolution into progressive sounds and a new name -- Nucleus. Through day-long rehearsals they would jam extended progressive rock treatments, many of which would be recorded in 1968; Bob Horne replaced Agnello on keyboards as the band headed into the studio for their first and only LP written entirely by Greg Fitzpatrick. However, it took a year to get interest for the record, which was released by Chicago label Mainstream, and by the time it was released in 1969, the band had distanced themselves from it. And yet, the album became a cult favorite throughout the North American Eastern seaboard, and its first single, 'Communication,' was played fervently despite its excessive length." --Jam! Music

OFEGE - “Try And Love” LP "The first release from Brooklyn NY's Academy Records re-issue label Academy LPs. The mega rare and unbelievably great African psychedelic full length by Ofege would set anyone back some serious cash even in the pre-hard times era of today and we won't even get into the condition of African LPs! Ofege were all high school students who cut this record with some lead guitar help from Mr. Berkley Jones (Guitarist of Blo) so there's some heavy duty fuzz damage throughout the record. This pushes all the right buttons all the time. Perfect. Ofege recorded this LP while still in high school in Nigeria in 1973, and with its sweet harmonies, wailing fuzz guitar and virtuoso drumming, it quickly became a classic of the Afro-rock genre. Mastered by Tim Warren from the best possible sources, ‘Try And Love’ is available for the first time in over 35 years, officially licensed and lovingly pressed." LP version.

ONE ST. STEPHEN - (ST) From 1975 this mysterious and underrated US psych album has plenty to offer. Obviously influenced by The Doors - particularly Jimbo's vocal inflections, the guitar work on this album is particularly noteworthy. The overall vibe of the record is dark and hedonistic with a melodic acid rock edge. If your into Phantom you should check this out!! Curiously this act is unrelated to the Steve Cataldo 'St. Steven' despite reports to the contrary.

ORIENT EXPRESS - (S/T) (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Classic Middle Eastern US '60s psych in a similar vein to the American Kaleidoscope, John Berberian etc. Loads of exotic instruments including lashings of oud and clay drum percussion. A trippy mixture of European rock and Middle Eastern promise.    $12.99

THE OUTSIDERS - Afraid of the Dark A NEW UNPLAYED first pressing of the lp "Afraid of the dark" by legendary Dutch garage/psych band the OUTSIDERS with WALLY TAX as released on Pseudonym Records in 2010 in Holland.

JOHN PALMER - SHORELINES "Brand new lavish reissue of legendary Canadian downer folk psych from early '70s. John Palmer's Shoreline has been a massively rare LP since its release on the Celebration label way back when. Here is the LP in its entirety brought to you from John himself. Color cover, insert. Songs 'Colours For The Shorelines,' 'Better Late Than Never,' more. Fans of downer folk will dig this all nite long, daddio." Includes insert with notes about each song by John Palmer. Exquisitely brooding Bill Fay-esque introspection, featured in Patrick Lundborg's top ten reissues of 2009 ("one of the best things still floating around unheard by most").

PAN & REGALIZ - (SAME) (RI) (WAH-WAH/LPS 005) (IMPORT) One of the most sought after Spanish psychedelic releases from 1971.    Has a ghostly surreal atmosphere and is reminiscent of early Pink Floyd & Group 1850 with acid folk chucked in for good measure/madness.    Album package comes in the original colored soft textured gatefold sleeve, with a large booklet and full color poster.    $25

HARRY PARTCH - Delusion of the Fury (Gatefold 180 gram) vinyl reissue, originally released in 1971. "In this long-awaited masterwork, Harry Partch rises above all attempts at descriptive containment and becomes quite simply heroic. Delusions Of The Fury, proceeding from tragedy to comedy, is nothing less than the full, ritualistic expression, in vocal instrumental and corporeal terms, of the reconciliation by the living both with death and with life. It is a total Partch statement, incorporating voices, mime, his celebrated instruments, dance, lighting and staging, all working to express this philosophical concept. Delusion Of The Fury, as is to be expected, is not cast in the common dramatic/musical mold." -- Eugene Paul

PEANUT BUTTER CONSPIRACY - The Great Conspiracy) First vinyl reissue for this Stone cold classic second album by the late '60s LA based psych band. Twin male/female vocals and a sound somewhere between The Airplane and The Mamas and the Papas. Rich dreamy hippie psychedelia with languid guitar, multi-layered harmonies and Summers day tunes.... A must! $13.99

PEANUT BUTTER CONSPIRACY - Is Spreading (RI/Ltd.) Here's a first ! The only vinyl reissue to date of this '60's LA psych classic. An orchestrated Jefferson Airplane with fantastic male/female harmonies, cool psych guitar work and all of the acid soaked hippy vibes you could ever need. Includes "Why Did I get So high" and "It's a Happening Thing"... Marvellous ! $13.99

LINDA PERHACS - PARALLELOGRAMS (RI) (GUERSSEN) Remastered vinyl edition of this amazing 1970 album originally released on Kapp by this cult American hippy lady. Beautiful psychedelic folk music, the album is structured around Linda's amazing voice and features an assortment of electric and acoustic instruments and various studio effects. Beautifully sung, played and arranged songs with a mystical otherworldly atmosphere. The tripped out "Parallelograms" is worth the price of entry alone.plus 2 bonus tracks, a poster and an insert.    $25.99

PHANTOM - Phantom's Divine Comedy - Part 1 Great early '70s album by a mysterious figure rumoured to be Jim Morrison in disguise. Certainly the vocals sound just like old Jimbo and the mystical magical nature of the music fit's in perfectly with the Doors myth. A heady brew of guitar based psychy rock backs the Phantom as he "rides the snake"..... Is it him? No it's not. Very limited pressing. 1500 only.Now a sadly deleted Radioactive title.$13.99

PIEL DE PUEBLO - Rock De La Heridas Awesome heavy acid rock from an early '70s Argentinian band featuring future members of Vox Dei. Mind melting lead guitar breaks all over the place on a drugged out slugfest into acid rock heaven..... Raved about in the psych guides...

POWDER - "Biff Bang Powder" California doesn't look like the natural place for a band sounding the way these guys did, but they were certainly there. During the mid-to-late '60s, the Powder sound was much more British than West Coast-inspired, and they built their legend on being one of the most exciting, mod, pre-power-pop combos ever. Responsible for anthems such as "I Try" or "Turn Another Page," among many other killer tracks, their music has pleased all mods and pure pop fans around for decades. Despite avid endorsement by Sonny & Cher, Powder never officially released an album. U.S. label Distortions put out a compilation of their tracks many, many years ago, and Guerssen Records makes these recordings, mostly 1968 demos, available again for the new Powder generation. Totally ahead of its time, totally catchy. 500 copies only.

POWER OF ZEUS - Gospel According To    (RI/Sealed) Exact repro of this mind crushing US hard rock concept album released in 1970. A guitar and organ driven rock fest, loaded with some great instrumental interplay and vocal harmonisation driven along with killer guitar licks and swathes of hammond etc. Late '60s Stoner Rock at it's best! Great to see this on vinyl!    $10.99

Q65 - Revival Perhaps the most psychedelic album by Dutch band Q65, released in 1969 after they temporarily broke up in 1967. It's made up of singles and the last material recorded by the then band. At times revival sounds like Group 1850, as on "Voluntary Peacemaker" and the trippy mellotron and languid guitar based "Fairy Tales Of Truth". Excellent '60's Dutch psychedelia.$17.99

QUARTETO 1111 - ONDE, QUANDO The rarest of all '70s Portuguese albums, and one of the best-ever progressive rock records from Europe. Quarteto 1111 are better known for their psychedelic-pop recordings, but in 1974, they also released this incredible album, a brutal, mellotron-fuelled progressive rock monster very much inspired by UK prog outfits such as King Crimson. The album contains one long 30+ minutes suite only, and it sold only 600 copies, becoming one of the rarest collector items from Portugal. An absolute must-have album, and a very nice reissue with the original artwork including backflaps, and a fantastic remastered sound. Includes an insert with rare, unseen photos from José Cid's personal archive and liner notes by Quarteto 1111's authority João Carlos Callixto. Limited edition of 700 copies only.

QUATRAIN - (S/T) Los Angeles group Quatrain issued an obscure album in 1969 mixing period Southern Californian folk-rock, psychedelic, and hard rock influences, produced and engineered by David Briggs (most famed for his work as producer with Neil Young). Quatrain grew out of the group the Human Jungle, who issued a couple obscure singles while signed to the Double Shot label, though they usually went under the name the Berries.

RAYNE - (S/T) LP 450 numbered/heavy sleeve/180 gram pressing/insert. "Frank Saucier and his 3 brothers formed Rayne in 1977, located in a New Orleans suburbia. They recorded the album with good home equipment with no overdubs. The original album ('the black album,' as they called it) was only pressed 300 times and during a moment of frustration they took a box of the albums and shot them with a shotgun. So, not many left to sell. The music is first class psych rock, strong compositions, great guitars & vocals, just everything right, something you would expect from a band located in New Orleans. Southern spirit and the tough guys don't dance, they play music instead."

RED CRAYOLA - Parable of Arable Land (RI) Originally released in 1967. "The Red Krayola's debut remains their most celebrated and notorious effort. Although this was categorized as psychedelia when first released, it's more like futuristic avant-noise-rock. Mayo Thompson's flighty songs about hurricane fighter planes and transparent radiation are almost submerged by a cacophony of 'free-form freak-out' noise created on kazoos, flutes, harmonica, hammer, jugs, bottles, sticks, and more by a large ensemble of friends dubbed the 'Familiar Ugly.' Minority opinion holds that the wistfulness of Thompson's tunes (the brittle 'War Sucks' excepted) and voice may have been served better by less self-consciously far-out arrangements. Parable of Arable Land was quite a daring statement for its day, however, with instrumental cameos by Roky Erickson on a couple of tracks." -- All Music

THE REMAINS -(S/T) (Sundazed) If Paul McCartney had ever died, as the legend goes, the Beatles would have found an able replacement in Barry Tashian. This New England musician and his band actually opened for the Fab Four and the resemblance is remarkable in this set of 1965/6 songs. Tight vocal arrangements and the same economical chord changes make this a superb collection and a fine example of how the Beatles were able to influence and Anglify the American sound.

RISING SONS - (S/T) "Featuring Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, Jesse Lee Kincaid, Kevin Kelley, and Gary Marker, the Rising Sons added an earthy dose of rural country blues to the fast-evolving rock scene of the mid-'60s. Now, at long last, they make their LP debut with one of the great unissued albums of the '60s."

SRC - (S/T) Fantastic! Exact vinyl re-issue of one of the best detroit rock albums of the 60s, from a band who, although not as well known as the MC5 or the Stooges had a similar intensity. Chock full of great driving late 60s rock with acid rock edges. Great guitar work by Gary Quackenbush who duels with Steve Lyman on many a track while the Hammond organ pumps away with beautiful layered vocal harmonies rounding off the tunes.The album opens with the classic "Black Sheep" and never lets up.Great stuff.

SAINT STEVEN- Saint Steven/The Bastic (RI/Sealed)    Featuring Steve Cataldo (ex-Front Page Review), and an uncredited Steve Morgen (who made the legendary Morgen album) this great psychedelic album from 1969, is a US acid rock masterpiece. Superb acid lead guitar and chunky fuzz weave through its tripped out weirdness, with effects a plenty and melodic vocals.    $13.99

SALT WATER TAFFY - Finders Keepers (RI/Sealed) Re-issue of 12-track 1968 Buddah album by these sunshine/bubblegum popsters! $10.99

SANDHY & MANDHY - PARA CASTUKIS LP (LTD.800) Here at last is a chance to discover why people have been willing to pay a very steep price to hear Sandhy & Mandhy, the duo who were not a duo, the band who were not a band, creators of perhaps the rarest and most expensive album from Argentina. To tell the story of Sandhy & Mandhy, we have to go back to 1967, when Alberto Infusino (Sandhy) and Alberto Vanasco (Mandhy) began their musical partnership in the beat band The New Free Men. Like many bands of that time, Los Shakers and Los Walkers, for example, the New Free Men played covers of songs by The Zombies, Animals, Kinks, Yardbirds, Doors, and so on, in clubs and at parties. Yet at the same time, Infusino and Vanasco started to play their own compositions, with a national touch to the music. Let's let Vanasco (Mandhy) take up the story: 'In 1969, we went to talk with Billy Bond, chief of La Pesada del Rock Roll to ask about the chance to make an album. Bond said that he was not looking for a band, but for a duo who sang songs in Spanish... So, we called some friends to play together, and we called the project Sandhy & Mandhy.' They recorded the album in three hours, with a full band (Farfisa organ, congas, drums, bass, and guitars) -- one take of each song. Instead of a demo, they decided to press an LP: the company (Phonalex) pressed 110 LPs in total, which the band gave out at gigs. Sandhy & Mandhy were one of the first bands in South America to bring a rebellious attitude to the music scene -- all this in a period of military repression, when forced haircuts in the streets were a common occurrence. Although they broke new ground, success was not their fate. And so 38 years after the burst of improvisation that was Sandhy & Mandhy, the rest of the world can finally take a taste of their dark, groovy, beat-influenced psychedelia (that fuzz guitar on the excellent 'Lluvia'!). At times introspective and acoustic, at others manic and ramshackle in the best way, it's quite a discovery. Now, on to the presentation -- the highest quality mastering and pressing (done at Acoustech Mastering/RTI in California, the same people who master and press every title that audiophile label Classic Records makes); the resulting LP is housed in a poly-lined sleeve, inside an ultra-heavy 1960's style gatefold jacket, which is housed in a loose-fitting plastic sleeve. Inside the sleeve, you will find an insert with full details on Sandhy & Mandhy, including lyrics in Spanish and English, printed on 100% recycled paper. The LP labels are replicas of the originals. A top of the line pressing all the way. Limited edition of 800 copies."

SAPPHIRE THINKERS - From Within    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Excellent 1968 Californian band who with their mix of male and female vocalists and fuzz lead guitar bear comparisons with Yankee Dollar or Peanut Butter Conspiracy. If anything this band are better than those acts and their album features some excellent harmonies and nice trippy touches - in particular the Doors like keyboards and backward effects. Beautiful sleeve. 180 gram pressing. $13.99

PHIL SAWYER - CHILDHOOD'S END Limited vinyl pressing of this magical discovery from the downunder 70s psychedelic scene. This is a wonderful album that will please anyone into psychedelia, rock and folk. Totally electric, with great production, great songwriting and a warm uneducated voice by Phil himself that gives a slight looser feel to it at times, the album contains some fantastic mid-tempo psychedelic folk-rock ballads, and the title track is an incredible slice of pure psychedelia with lots of tasty sound effects. This is a very rare and collectable item in original format (Hans Pokora gives 5 discs to it in his books). This first ever reissue is licensed from the original label and the sound is taken from the mastertapes.    $25.99

SCHIBBINZ - LIVIN' FREE In 1967, a bunch of U.S. and Argentinean kids recorded a magical album which has remained unknown for many years due to its extreme rarity, with less than a handful of copies known to exist. Released in 1968 in Argentina by a label called Phonexa, the Schibbinz album could be regarded as the ultimate teen garage folk-rock album, ever. An album of fragile beauty, full of teen charm, innocent vocals, jangly guitars, charming, lo-fi sound and a lost-in-time atmosphere. It has the look and sound that can only be found on some U.S. '60s private-pressings like Rising Storm or Summer Sounds, but Schibbinz' music is something else. Guerssen Records is proud to present this wonderful and mega-rare vinyl album to the world, with the production fully benefitting from the band's involvement and assistance. The original master tapes were lost, but the sound has been carefully-remastered from an original near-mint copy. Extensive, detailed liner-notes and lots of cool pictures from the band's archives are all included in a 4-page insert.

SCORPION - (ST) Killer and rare 1969 Detroit based heavy psych rock with a slightly funky edge. Band members Bob Babitt, Ray Monette and Andrew Smith went on to play on albums by Alice Cooper, Jimi Hendrix, Yoko Ono Rare Earth and others. Much sought after and rare!

SEBASTIAN - Head Roach (Void RI/500 Ltd.) "Collectors in dark corners around the globe have whispered about wanting to own an original copy of this record, only to have their hopes dashed when no originals turn up. Along    comes Void with a legitimate vinyl reissue of one of the rarest    Canadian albums of all time bar none, which turns out to be music    that is druggie electric acid/folk with a touch of Zappaesque humor    tossed in. When originally issued way back in 1970, the album came with a coloring book to color in the roaches. Soon the cover was banned for it's drug implications making the original hideously rare.    Void Records with Sebastian has released a 500 copy limited edition    vinyl pressing. The cover, reproduced from the original is glossy and    brilliant. A lyric sleeve has been added as a bonus. Songs include    'Let's Go To The Drug Store,' 'Toking Alone,' 'They Call Her Pig' and    more. $17.99

SEBASTIAN - RAYS OF THE SUN "Early '70s reissue of this much in demand deep folky psych rarity with lavish arrangements like Darius meets Scott Walker. Great songs. long and short, and with superb vocal melodies with acid leads, sitar, and 'Peppery' feel on some tracks. Undiscovered psych classic! Remastered and pressed on virgin DMM vinyl limited to 500 copies pressing."

THE SEEDS - (ST) "1966 debut album by Los Angeles garage punk legends, the Seeds, featuring the now classic primitive rocker 'Pushin' Too Hard'. Originally released as a single to promote the album, it went largely unnoticed until the full-length album was released, at which point it began to climb the charts, creeping its way into the Top 40. Featured on numerous compilations and covered extensively, it remains one of the great musical landmarks of the sixties California garage scene."

SHADOWS OF KNIGHT - Gloria First 1966 album by legendary 'Nuggets' US garage punksters, well known for their fuzzed out version of Van Morrison's title track. This reissue includes three bonus tracks and all the original sleeve art. 180 gram vinyl.

SHIVA'S HEADBAND - Take Me To The Mountains (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    Much neglected debut by the legendary Texan band - who performed on the same psychedelic stages as The 13th Floor Elevators and the Conqueroo. Led by Violin virtuoso Spencer Perskin (who prior to the band performed as a solo artist on the folk circuit) shivas headband were a kind of rural hippy, psychedelic rock band mixing blues folk and country with an acid fried contempt for red neck society. Originally released in 1969 on Capitol this album is very much in the late 60's early 70's rural rock vein with flashes of the earlier psychedelic sound particularly evident on the re-working of the bands pre-album singles "Song For Peace" and "Kaleidoscoptic".    $13.99

SILVER APPLES - (S/T) (180 GRAM)

SILVER APPLES - CONTACT (180 GRAM)

SOUND OF FEELING - Spleen (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Interesting and weird early '70s US album from a group who were not afraid to experiment with sound. Assorted male/female vocal harmony techniques are employed to stunning effect, while instruments include saxes, cellos and Moog synthesizers. Covers of songs by Paul Simon and Donovan as well as some intriguing originals all go to make this an eclectic and exceptional experience. Same label as 50 Foot Hose.....    $12.99

SOUTHWEST F.O.B. Smell of Incense- "Southwest F.O.B. was a groovy, harmony-laced Dallas, Texas combo that owed as much to the Association as it did to the trippy new sounds of the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Shining a multi-hued spotlight on the heavenly harmonies of Dan Seals and John Colley (soon to become the chart-topping duo of England Dan & John Ford Coley), Southwest F.O.B.'s only album, Smell of Incense, also laid on plenty of Country Joe-like Farfisa. This hefty exact replica of the original 1968 Hip Records LP will immediately transport you to a ballroom full of sweet smoke with kaleidoscopic patterns flashing on the wall, free apples at the door and people swaying everywhere to totally irresistible rock 'n' roll. Next stop, Nirvana!"

ALEXANDER SPENCE - Oar "The haunted genius of Alexander 'Skip' Spence's Oar returns at long last to its original format: the LP. Sundazed is ecstatic to be able to reissue Spence's cult classic on 180 gram vinyl -- with original track listing, liner notes, and photos intact. Spence -- a founding member of seminal San Fran skullbenders Moby Grape -- cut his only solo work in Nashville immediately after being released from New York's Bellevue Hospital late in 1968. Unavailable on the collector's market these days at any price, Oar vanished without a trace when first released in 1969. Frequently compared to the likes of Syd Barrett and Nick Drake, Spence's visionary work walks the tightrope between reality and delusion, and remains a national treasure."

STONE CIRCUS - (ST) Exact repro 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing; originally released in 1969. "This superb blend of psych-pop and experimental acid rock originally appeared on the legendary Mainstream label in 1969. Recorded by a bunch of Canadian musicians who had just moved to New York City, it received no airplay or promotional support and was soon deleted, but has gone on to become one of the most sought-after major label LPs of the period. Enjoyable from start to finish, it's a treat for all fans of melodic psychedelia."

STONEWALL (S/T) (1809 Gram/RI/Sealed) Mega rare original LP reissue of this great hard psych album, originally issued in 1976, only three original copies have ever surfaced. Heavy organ/guitar hard psych with extended, stoned workouts. An Acid Archives favorite. $14.99

STRANGE Souvenir Album (Shadoks/Import) Originally released in the USA, 1974/76. Extra heavy cardboard sleeve, numbered edition of 450 copies. "The Strange are from Olympia, WA, close to the Canadian border. This art-rock underground band recorded the Souvenir Album over a period of several years released in a tiny pressing in 1976 on the Yantis Record label. With a touch of west coast music and lots of Mothers of Invention influences, this album is really something special. As special as The Spoils Of War and as complex as Time and Think Dog, with Frank Zappa style wah-wah guitar, great vocals, piano, effects, some horns, and a well-balanced mixture of heavy psych guitar tracks and twisted underground folk tunes. If you think the first Spoils Of War album on Shadoks is a great album and the early Mothers albums are the ones you always kept you will be very very happy with this album.

SUBJECT ESQ. “S/T”: Reissue of the only release (Epic, 1972) by Subject Esq. before they changed their name to Sahara; complex progressive rock with fusion elements, showing classical influences, and demonstrating superb musicianship throughout. Comparable to many other bands of the era, like Thirsty Moon, Camel, etc.—in fact, they have a similar degree of complexity and inventiveness (multi-tracked sax and guitars, and so on) to many bands from the Canterbury scene. Subject Esq. had unique touches of their own, with an unusual use of vocals, time signatures, and a wide range of solo instruments, all of which are given plenty of room in the lengthy instrumental sections. An odd major label album, so perhaps it’s no surprise that they left CBS to record their more esoteric Sahara albums.

SUCK - Time To Suck (Import/Shadoks) (with 7" EP) From South Africa, 1971. 600 numbered LPs, matte-varnish heavy gatefold sleeve, 180 gram pressing. Plus a one-sided 7" EP. "Suck were from Johannesburg, S.A. In their short history (only eight months) Suck made one album and created more mayhem than most bands do over a ten year career. But what an album. Time To Suck is a highly-charged package of manic drumming, scorching guitars and sublime, wailing vocals. Political statements on stage (in South Africa) against the war. This one is not for folk fans, no moonshine mellow candle, this one kicks ass and is pure adrenaline, a real pusher. If you think Black Sabbath, Uriah Heap, Deep Purple, MC 5 and Grand Funk Railroad are your tip of the iceberg, you might consider this one as your future favorite album. Full of hard, psychedelic tracks with Louis 'Moose' Forer on bass, Steve 'Gil' Gilroy on guitar, who worked in the UK with Mick Abrahams from Jethro Tull, Saverio Grande on drums and Andrew Ionnides on vocals. Again, Julian Laxton from Freedoms Children was the producer."

SUPERFINE DANDELION (S/T)    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Rare mainstream album by US '60s band who sound like a cross between The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Charlatans.Stripped down psychedelic rock from the late 60s Phoenix scene. The group takes influences of some of the most swirling sounds of the era -- The grooves of the San Francisco sounds blended with the more rural bits of the post folk boom. Titles include "People In The Street", "Crazy Town", "My Place", "Day And Night", "My Place", "Janie's Tomb", "It's Raining", Don't Try To Call Me", "The Other Sidewalk", "What's The Hurry" and more.    $15.99

SWEETWATER - (S/T)    (RI/Sealed)    Their great 1968 debut introduced Sweetwater's unusual blend of jazz, folk, rock, blues and classical influences, with an atypical, guitar-free line-up of keyboards, bass, cello, flute and percussion backing Nancy Nevins soaring vocals. The bands signature adaptation of 'Motherless Child' leads off, followed by 'Here We Go Again; For Petes Sake; Come Take a Walk; Whats Wrong; In a Rainbow; My Crystal Spider; Rondeau; Two Worlds; Through an Old Storybook', and 'Why Oh Why'. Highlights include the awesome mind bending fuzz of "My Crystal Spider" and the dreamy baroque psych of "In a Rainbow" which both feature the bands trademark male/female vocal harmonies as well as strings, flute, electric guitar etc. .A West Coast psychedelic essential, produced (some would say over-produced) by the legendary Dave Hassinger! $10.99

TANGERINE ZOO - (S/T)    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    Exact 180 gram reissue of 1968 debut album from this band from Rhode Island who sound like a more psych version of the MC5 or SRC . Featuring swirling organ work and trippy fuzz guitar this is a classic US '60s psychedelic rock release worthy of reissue.    $15.99

TARKUS - (S/T) "This Peruvian hard rock band recorded their one and only album in 1972. Only fifty promo copies were ever made, and it has never been repressed on vinyl until now, making it one of the rarest and most collectible albums in the whole Latin rock arena. The album is a lost classic -- their sound was very heavy for the time and their label did not think that there was a market for it. Today, however, the heavy guitars and dark atmosphere make it sound very contemporary. All lyrics in Spanish."

TELEGRAPH AVENUE - (ST) (Import) 180 gram vinyl version. "Telegraph Avenue got their start when lead singer, Bo Ichikawa, returned home to Peru after a six-month stint in San Francisco (if you hadn't already guessed by their obvious choice of band name) and their 1971 debut album soon became the best-selling rock album of the year. Here heavy distorted guitar mixed with Latin bass and percussion meld to create a kind of south-of-the-equator Latin groove meets West Coast psych with a slightly poppier feel. All lyrics are sung in English. The band unfortunately split after the release of just one more album, but the drummer and singer would soon join up with two Argentine friends to form another great band, the South American band of the '70s: Tarkus. Don't miss your chance to discover a great album by a great band!"

LES TEMPS HEUREUX - (ST) (Shadoks/Import) Numbered edition of 450 copies, heavy sleeve with textured & engraved artwork, 180 gram pressing. "Les Temps Heureux (The Happy Times) made only a tiny demo pressing in 1972, France, under the title En Ces Jours (In Those Days). Acid folk with poetry lyrics, loner vibes, psychedelic guitars, well-crafted songs, six of them in English, two in French. Four guys hanging out night after night to create their first album in a basement studio following their one and only ambition. This album is very special and became instantly one of the real musical surprises for us. It beats most UK albums of the same style. They must have had really happy times in those days, very creative times full of aspiration."

TERJE, JESPER & JOACHIM (ST) (1970) "Terje Bandholdt on drums, Jesper Schmidt on guitar and Joachim. This album was recorded in 1970 for the famous Spectator Records in Denmark (Moses/BluesAddicts/Days). Reissued for the first time in original cover plus insert with many photos and band story, this amazing heavy psych album beats most releases from Denmark, in quality and rarity. Massive guitar action all over, great heavy vocals and pumping rhythms lift this album right out of there. Beside Moses, the best heavy psych album from northern Europe. 450 numbered/glossy/heavy sleeve/180 gram pressing/insert." Previously reissued by Little Wing back in 1991 or so.

THE THIRD ESTATE - Years Before the Wine (Void) (Ltd 500/30th Anniversary Edition) w/45 One of the best of the seemingly endless supply of great small-town 1970s LPs (Baton Rouge, LA in this case). This ambitious and intricate folk/ rock prog/psych record concept album about the French Revolution (!) by then students at LSU blends a warm Southern summer sound with baroque song structures. In the end, the serious subject matter is no match for the strong songwriting and a light, flowing musical style. Vocals from Fae Ficklin on the title track are stunning but even without them the LP would still richly deserve its status as a psychedelic classic. Plenty of fuzz guitar, backwards soundscapes and beautiful treated acoustic guitar from band leader Robert Everett, make this a total classic. Unlike almost anything else in the vast world of psychedelia, and therefore very difficult to characterize. The production style is stark, with acoustic guitars that sound like they'r in the room with you; the sound of exploration is evident everywhere as the band spreads its wings and glorious harmonies flow forth: the sound and overall impression is highly reminiscent of another classic, Ithaca A Game For All Who Know from the UK (reissued in our Acme/Lion series). A complicated album that opens new doors with every listen. Special limited edition (500 press) from the masters comes with lyric insert and a bonus 7" on red wax of pre-Third Estate material. $18.99

THIRD EYE - "Awakening" Numbered edition of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl; glossy gatefold sleeve with insert. Perhaps Third Eye is the best band from S.A. with the most innovative and complex music. Most music lovers would vote Freedoms Children as the biggest influence in S.A,. rock, but Third Eye will share at least half of that cake. In cooperation with Dawn Selby (Hammond organ) and her brother Ron (guitar), this project came to life again. They where based in Durban, a coastal city several hundred miles away from the recording and musical hub of Johannesburg and started playing in 1968. The first album Awakening came out in 1969 when the female organ player Dawn Selby was only 14 years old. Just imagine her age when you listen to the amazing organ and piano tracks. Awakening was released in 1969 followed by 2 more albums Searching and Brother just one year later in 1970. What a musical output in such a short time. The band and composer must have sat on a volcano where they just waited to burst their music out onto the rock universe. Awakening is the most complex album of the three, with great brass arrangements, piano, Hammond organ, fuzz-guitar and vocals full of soul. Musically going in the direction of bands such as Electric Flag, The Flock's Dinosaur Swamps, Chicago, The Nice and Al Cooper. Pure electric underground of the best sort."

THIRD EYE - "Brother" Numbered edition of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl; glossy sleeve with insert. "The album Brother followed the same year in 1970 after Searching. The music is closer to the album Awakening without the brass arrangements. More organ based compositions with beautiful vocals and guitars. We must mention here the amazing drumming and bass which holds the complete tracks together and drives them forwards. As a musical comparison we would mention again the bands from the US and UK underground, such as Electric Flag, Chicago and Keef Hartley Band. But we must say, if bands from South Africa were not banned in Europe and the USA at the time the albums by The Third Eye came out, they would have become as popular and even more as the mentioned bands from USA and UK. All three albums are killer albums and we would not want to miss one of them."

THIRD EYE - "Searching" Numbered edition of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl; glossy sleeve with insert. "The album Searching followed a year later after Awakening. Today originals of this album are rare as gold dust and, among two or three others, the most valuable collectors item from South Africa. Many collectors who have basically everything in their collection are missing this one. The music is heavier, the lyrics full of political statements, more psychedelic and a bigger step down into the musical underground. The 14-minute track 'Awakening' is really amazing, with tons of great organ parts and extra heavy fuzz-guitar."

THIRD RAIL- ID Music    (RI/Sealed)    Recorded in 1969, this excellent US '60s pop psych album features the 'Nuggets' featured "Run Run Run" and other songs by the song-writing skills of the Resnick brothers, later part of the Kasenatz Katz empire. Also includes a rather nifty version of the 'Wild In The Streets soundtrack classic' "Shape Of Things To Come" (also covered by Slade and Ramones) and the eerie pop psych of "No Return".    $10.99

TIFFANY SHADE - (S/T)    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed) Reissue of rare harmonious popsike from 1968 by this band from Cleveland USA. Melodious in a similar vein to Yellow Balloon or Millenium, but with occasional trippy guitar touches the album comes in a classic period psych sleeve.Tracks include "Would You Take My Mind Out For A Walk", "An Older Man", "Sam", "Jaguar City Blues", "A Very Grand Love", "Come Softly To Me", "A Quiet Revolution" and more.    $15.99

TOBRUK - Ad Lib (Import) "Tobruk was formed by some North American guys living in Brazil, and this wonderful album got released in 1972 on the Cash Box label. It's an excellent psychedelic album with an astounding, original sound based in fuzz, organ, psychedelic effects and an eerie atmosphere. It's completely sung in English as well.

TRAFFIC SOUND - Tibet's Suzettes (3rd Album). (Get Back) Third album from 1970 by the legendary Peruvian psychedelic rock band. Plenty of great music here with a Latino influence, with flute driven passages that at times resemble a South American Jethro Tull or early Steamhammer.Housed in beautiful fold out digipack with the sound being remastered from the original mastertapes for the very first time.

TROYKA - (SAME) (1970) (IMPORT) (EROE PROGRESSIVO 5)(LTD. RI) (180 GRAM) (SEALED) Canadian progressive rock trio with the exception of a guitar freakout track.    Often compared to Gun and Warpig, also of Canada, known to have a heavy rocking sound. $19.99

TRUTH “Of THEM and Other Tales” (MV001): One of the best examples of late 60s US psychedelia, in almost every collector’s top-twenty list. Truth was a post-Them (as in Van Morrison & Them) Irish-American outfit consisting of three members of the version of Them which had recorded the band’s two terrific Tower label LPs ("Now and Them" and "Time Out, Time In For Them"): Jim Armstrong, who according to Wikipedia was once voted third best guitarist in the world, Kenny McDowell and Ray Elliot, plus two Americans, Curtis Bachman (ex-Buckinghams) and Reno Smith (ex-Baby Huey). Truth's adventurous late sixties' sound is a bit hard to categorize, but it's all here: sitar, flute, exotic studio effects and (most important) great songwriting. As Patrick “the Lama” Lundborg has said: “ If this sounds a bit like vintage Grateful Dead then all the better, because there is a distinct similarity between the Dead of, say, ‘China cat sunflower,’ and the airy, good-natured guitar psych of Truth. Not much is said about the band's influences in the liner notes but if I were to define them in terms of a pin placed on a wall-map of the USA, the spot would be Highway 1 halfway between LA and the Bay Area. There is already a pin there, marked Stalk-Forrest Group, and apart from the Dead that's one band that Truth remind me of. Impressive credentials for sure, but Truth needn't be embarrassed in this company, because their music is faultless and at its best outright stunning.” These tracks from 1969-70 (14 tracks, 68 minutes in total) were unearthed in the early 1990s and were released on CD in 1995; eleven come from master tapes, while the other three come from the acetate from a studio session for a prospective Epic label deal that never came to fruition. The packaging is lavish, with in depth liner notes, including many photos and archival images, which tell the Them/Truth story as never before. Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl double-LP package, heavy gatefold cover, extensive group history and photos. Previously unreleased on vinyl.

TWENTIETH CENTURY ZOO - Thunder On A Clear Day    (picture disc).

21.PERON - (SAME) (RI) LP + 7" (IMPORT) (ARKAPLAN/LTD.400) Turkish progressive psychedelic band from the mid 70's influenced by Mogollar, King Crimson and Genesis.    Perfect blend of Turkish folk with '70s UK prog elements throughout.    $28

UGLY DUCKLINGS - Somewhere Outside    Excellent 1966 Canadian garage psych / punk album. Boasting equal quantities of snotty garage attitudes and psych guitar freakout. Their snarling punky sound is unbeatable for this era, why this album is so rare is beyond comprehension. Includes: "Hey Mama (Keep Your Big Mouth Shut)", "Just in Case You Wonder" and "10:30 Train." $13.99

UNITED TRAVEL SERVICE "Wind and Stone" LP (Break 018): “Dateline 1966: the Pacific Northwest of the USA was a hot place to be for numerous local and regional bands following the tradition of the renowned North West Fratrock of the Kingsmen and the uncompromising Rock & Roll of The Sonics and Wailers. Not so for the United Travel Service. They were sadly overlooked at the time, but are now revered for their two brilliant folkadelic singles, ‘Wind And Stone’ b/w ‘Drummer Of Your Mind,’ and ‘Gypsy Eyes’ b/w ‘Echo Of You’. The UTS were mainly influenced by the San Francisco scene, Garage Rock and the Byrds. Their high quality repertoire, written by guitarist Ben Hoff and produced by New Tweedy Brothers producer Rick Keefer, would have made a classic local psychedelic album if released back then. But it was not to be. Break-A-Way presents for the first time, a collection of the band’s rare 45s, along with five unreleased studio recordings, as well as three home demos. Included is a detailed history of the UTS stuffed with rare photos and labels from the band-members’ scrapbook. All that info comes on a 4-page LP sized insert printed on fully glossy paper. At last, here is the long overdue legacy of one of the Northwests finest psychedelic bands.”

WATERLOO "First Battle" Regarded as one of the best European progressive rock albums from the '70s, the sole release by Belgian group Waterloo was originally released on the Vogue label and is a highly collectable item worth obscene sums in the collector's market. Released in 1970 and entirely sung in English, this brilliant album is a blend of progressive rock and heavy prog, with obvious Jethro Tull influences but with something else really of their own, making it a very special album. This is the first-ever official vinyl reissue of such a classic of European progressive rock history, with high quality reissue standards, including an insert with extensive liner notes and photos. 600 copies only.

OTIS WAYGOOD - Ten Light Claps And A Scream (Shadoks/Import) From South Africa, 1971. Edition of 600 numbered LPs, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing. After two albums released on EMI S.A. the album Ten Light Claps And A Scream was simply the best Otis Waygood record and among collectors the most sought after. The music is influenced by the British underground for sure. Bloodwin Pig, Steamhammer, IF are working in the same field. Great guitars and vocals, blues-influenced underground rock, sax, organs and well-crafted composition and arrangements making this album a unique masterpiece. Julian Laxton of Freedoms Children was the producer. Rob Zipper (vocals, guitars, saxophones); Ivor Rubenstein (vocals, percussion); Leigh Sagar (guitars, organ, Hawaiian guitar); Benny Miller (guitars); Alan Zipper (bass)."

WE ALL TOGETHER - (S/T) (Get Back - GET650LP) Beautiful dreamy late Beatles / Badfinger styled melodic psych rock / pop by this Peruvian band from the early '70s who sing in perfect English. Excellent songs with crystal vocal harmonies, orchestration, backward guitar, etc. High quality pressing from the original master tapes.... Fab Summer sounds..

WE THE PEOPLE - Too Much Noise (Sundazed) LP "Garage fans agree: We The People's ragin', tough-as-nails punk tracks 'Mirror of Your Mind' and 'You Burn Me Up and Down' rate among the era's best. But believe it or not, this band was capable of even more. Along with the above two hammer-down classics, Too Much Noise collates everything, the seminal -- and surprisingly diverse -- Central Florida outfit cut for the Challenge label during the band's mid-'60s heyday, including the raga-rock fave 'In The Past' (covered by the Chocolate Watchband) and the tender folk-rock ballad '(You Are) The Color of Love.' Sourced from the original analog masters, here are We the People's three scarce and essential Challenge single sides plus material recorded for the label but unreleased at the time -- all of it in raw, skull-crushing fidelity on high-definition vinyl."

WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND - Part One    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    Official reissue of the classic debut album.

WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND - A Child's Guide To Good & Evil    (RI/180 Gram/Sealed)    Long regarded as one of the more successfully experimental of the US sixties psych bands, this 1968 album by the WCPAEB goes a long way to proving that point, with some ambitious musical suites and weird pop psych excursions. Perhaps the bands best release. Great cover. New audiophile 180 gram virgin vinyl edition taken from the analogue master tapes.    $13.99

WILKINSON TRI-CYCLE This obscure power trio is thought to have come from Boston, where they supported The Velvet Underground in 1969, the same year their sole LP appeared. An inspired blend of tough electric blues ("Leavin' Trunk," "Antique Locomotives"), commercial songs with distinctive hooks ("What Of I?," "Pourscha Poe") and more overtly acid-influenced material ("David's Rush," "Yellow Wall"), it's an overlooked psychedelic gem that deserves far wider recognition.

WIZARDS FROM KANSAS - (S/T)    (RI/Sealed) Stunning West Coast sytled US '60s album from Kansas, which contains complex melodic vocal harmonies, soaring trippy guitar work and wonderful original songs. A dreamy, melodic sparkling gem of an album from start to finish. Along with Kak, HP Lovecraft and Tripsichord Music Box, this album is one of THE essential artifacts of the era! $10.99

YA HO WA - Penetration - An Aquarian Symphony LP One of the most laid back and tripped out ya ho wa albums. A drifting symphony of ambience with acoustic and electric weirdness making this an intense psychedelic listening experience. From the first time you listen to this album it's obvious that everyone involved with this was on another planet when the recording was made.

FERNANDO YVOSKY - "Dos mundos": label description: “Great and ultra rare symphonic classic from Venezuela, and surely one of the best releases of this country. “Dos Mundos” is a mellow symphonic concept LP, reminding us Genesis or PFM, but there are even some heavier moments thanks to guitar player Adid Casta (ex- Ladies WC). Nevertheless the heart of this record consists of Fernando's inspired singing and an overall use of all kinds of synthesizers. A classic, not to be missed. Fantastic remastered sound and nice carton covers. Limited to 400 copies only, coming in top quality exact replica covers of the original albums, and great remastered sound.”

LOS YORK'S - 68 - (SEALED) Reissue of the second album by this Peruvian garage-psych quartet.    It includes the single "Abrasame Baby" plus nine more cuts. $12.99

LOS YORK'S - Ritmo Y Sentimiento (Import/Ltd Press) Reissue of the rarest and most sought-after LP by this Peruvian garage band from 1969. "RITMO Y SENTIMIENTO" perfectly combines the spirit of the mid-sixties with the psychedelic guitar sound of the year it was released. Burning versions of "Suzy Q", "Inside Looking Out", "Foxy Lady" and "Mister You΄re A Better Man Than I" with searing leads and the bands΄s own edgy hysteria, make this album a great mix of garage and more psychier sounds. Doubtlessly the group΄s most exciting effort Comes with faithful colour reproduction of the original front cover, along with a reworked backcover - and excellent sound!-500 copies worldwide only. $21.99

ZAKARY THAKS - Form the Habit One of the best garage bands of the '60s, and one of the best teenage rock groups of all time, Zakary Thaks released a half-dozen regionally distributed singles in 1966 and 1967; some were hits in their hometown of Corpus Christi, TX, but none were heard elsewhere until they achieved renown among '60s collectors. Heavily indebted (as were so many bands) to R&B-influenced British heavyweights like the Stones, the Kinks, and the Yardbirds, the group added a thick dollop of Texas raunch to their fuzzy, distorted guitars and hell-bent energy. Most importantly, they were first-rate songwriters, with the breakneck "Bad Girl" (later compiled on Pebbles, Vol. 2), "Won't Come Back," the smoking "Face to Face," "Can't You Hear Your Daddy's Footsteps," and the folk-rock/Merseybeat hybrid "Please" ranking among the top echelon of American '60s garage rock. Their 1967 singles found the group moving into psychedelic territory; some songs betrayed a Moby Grape influence, and some good melodic numbers were diluted by poppy arrangements that recalled the Buckinghams and Grass Roots. Lead singer Chris Gerniottis, only 15 when Zakary Thaks began making records, joined another interesting Corpus Christi garage/psychedelic group, the Liberty Bell. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

AMBROSE SLADE - Beginnings UK limited edition 12-track vinyl LP, the debut longplayer from Noddy, Dave, Jim and Don, better known as Slade - this recording dates from their pre-success period when they were a dynamite band struggling in Midlands clubs, delivering powerhouse versions of contemporary classics, including 'Knockin Nails Into My House' [Idle Race], 'Martha My Dear' (Beatles) and 'Journey To The Centre Of The Mind' (Amboy Dukes).

ART - Supernatural Fairy Tales A 'progressive' outfit Art later evolved into Spooky Tooth in October 1967 with the addition of Gary Wright. Their finest moment was What's That Sound, which was a rehash of Buffalo Springfield's superb For What It's Worth. It's now quite hard to obtain but was included on Island's You Can All Join In compilation. Their album is adventurous and quite unique British psychedelic rock. It's quite primitive in places, but utilises a wide range of instruments with plenty of sound effects and variety. Guy Stevens handled the production duties. It's well worth a spin.

ANNE BRIGGS- The Time Has Come. One of the most important figures of the British folk revival of the 1960s, Anne Briggs was a huge influence on such luminaries as Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior and Linda Thompson. This is her second full length, originally released in 1971. Unlike previous releases which contained mostly traditional songs with little or no accompaniment, this album features many self-penned numbers as well as a few contemporary covers with Briggs playing guitar and bouzouki. Briggs only released two albums and a handful of singles/EPs before retiring from the music business making this reissue an important document of the British folk revival.

ANNE BRIGGS - (S/T) "The first full-length album from the legendary folk singer, originally released in 1971. Anne Briggs was a huge influence on the entire British folk-rock movement, especially other female singers such as Sandy Denny, Jacqui McShee, and Maddy Prior. This album is a strong collection of traditional folk songs and original material and one of the most important releases of the British folk revival. Despite the fact that Briggs had been on the folk scene since the early '60s this was her first full-length effort, delayed by erratic behavior and studio fears, and she would record only two more records before dropping off the scene entirely. Thankfully we have this, her first and strongest record, reissued with the original artwork."

THE DAVE DAVANI FOUR - Fused! LP (Import) "Wah Wah is proud to announce the vinyl reissue of one of the best Hammond organ fueled LPs from the Swingin' London years! The talented organist Dave Davani and his group were a regular act at top clubs like the Flamingo or the Ricky Tick, sharing the spotlight with other top British names such as Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, Graham Bond Organization, Artwoods, Georgie Fame or even U.S. heavyweights as Jimmy McGriff. The superb Fused! LP, originally released by Parlophone in 1965, is a killer sample of what Davani and company delivered in the sweaty smokey nightclubs of London that year. First class Hammond-powered mod jazz and R&B, deeply rooted in the sounds of the fab Jimmy McGriff, 'Big' John Patton, Brother Jack McDuff, and Jimmy Smith soul jazz albums imported from the U.S. at the time. From the top opening track, an organ-ized version of the classic Miles Davis 'Milestones,' to the last groove of the record, this one will please everybody into swingin' soul jazz sounds. Reissued on vinyl format for the first time, you have a chance to grab yourself a copy of this goodie at a reasonable price -- but only for a while, since it has been licensed for a 1000 copies run and albums as good as this one do not last long on the shop's shelves. Get it now before it's too late! An exact repro of the original Parlophone LP upgraded with cool liner notes written for the occasion by today's Hammond maestro, Nick Rossi."

Nick DRAKE - Bryter Layter From 1970 comes the troubled troubadour's second album that's much more upbeat than his debut. Beautiful, pastoral bed-sit melodies borrowing from traditional folk and augmented by John Cale, Richard Thompson and Dave Pegg amongst others. Fully packaged in original sleeve with plastic cover and on 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing.

NICK DRAKE - Five Leaves Left LP. (Simply Vinyl - SVLP 163) Simply Vinyl reissue of nick drake's 1969 debut album, from one of the UK's most loved and missed singer songwriter. Exquisite orchestrated songs filled with lyrical whimsy and a overlying sense of sadness.

NICK DRAKE - Pink Moon LP (Simply Vinyl - SVLP172) Nick's final album appeared in 1972. Melancholic and melodic musings - here performed totally solo with an acoustic guitar.

Comes with insert booklet featuring rare photos and new sleeve notes by EYES leader and founder Barry Allchin. Limited edition of 500 copies pressed on 180 gram vinyl."

FACTORY - "Path through the forest": label description: “Sixties UK freakbeat legends get a new legit re-release of their complete available recordings and Guerssen is the proud new home for them. A cult freakbeat and psychedelic group, well-known for such all-time classics as ‘Path through the forest’ and ‘Try a little sunshine,’ Factory released only a couple of 45s (both of them obscenely rare, rarely showing up anywhere). Here we get the four tracks appearing on these 45s, plus a couple tracks taken from acetates (killer covers of Family’s “Second generation woman” and Fairport Convention’s ‘Mr. Lacey’), as well as a new mix of ‘Path through the forest’ that includes the original psychedelic effects that were supposed to make it to the actual release, but were dropped out by the MGM label supervisor. "

FAIRPORT CONVENTION - Liege & Lief "The fourth album from the Fairport Convention, originally released in 197 , is considered by many to be the paramount of British folk-rock. After three solid albums of folk-rock that only hinted at their British roots, Liege & Lief is the first Fairport record to fully and completely embrace their home country. They roll through no less than four traditional British folk songs including an incredible reading of 'Tam Lin' along with quality originals that pay tribute to and expand on their rich tradition. This is the last Fairport Convention record to feature core members Sandy Denny and Ashley Hutchings, and though it is decidedly British, it is an absolute classic of electric folk-rock of any variety." 180 gram vinyl, gatefold sleeve.

FAIRPORT CONVENTION - Unhalfbricking Deluxe 180 gram reissue. "Unhalfbricking, originally released in 1969, was a transitional album for Fairport Convention, as vocalist (and American folk-rock enthusiast) Ian Matthews left midway through the recording. As a result, the band looked further into their own country's folk traditions for influence, as their decidedly British style was cemented by the addition of Dave Swarbrick's fiddle. This is not to say that Unhalfbricking is a weak album. On the contrary, it is a stone cold classic and includes some of the band's finest material including their take on Dylan's 'Percy's Song,' the traditional 'A Sailor's Life,' and one of Sandy Denny's finest compositions in 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes?'"

FAIRPORT CONVENTION - What We Did On Our Holidays "The second Fairport Convention album, originally released in 1969, is the first to feature the beautifully haunting vocals of the legendary Sandy Denny. What We Did On Our Holidays contains some of the Fairport Convention's finest moments, including Denny's own 'Fotheringay,' Richard Thompson's 'Meet Me On The Ledge,' and their stunning take on Bob Dylan's 'I'll Keep It With Mine.' This LP finds the Fairport Convention moving away from the California folk-rock of their debut album towards a more British approach to similar material. It is also the last full LP to feature Ian Matthews on vocals." 180 gram vinyl.

GROUNDHOGS - BLUES OBITUARY "Originally released in 1969 on Imperial, Blues Obituary is a landmark of Britain's blues-rock movement. Blues Obituary finds the Groundhogs beginning to stretch beyond traditional blues forms, as demonstrated on the seven-minute epic 'Light Was The Day.' Beyond its memorable cover art, Blues Obituary marks the Groundhogs' first effort as a power trio, the format in which the band would do its most acclaimed and popular work. Led by master guitarist/singer/songwriter Tony McPhee, the Groundhogs formed in the mid-'60s, borrowing their name from a John Lee Hooker song. Prior to launching their recording career, the Groundhogs developed a reputation as a powerful live act, and backed such visiting American blues greats as Champion Jack Dupree and Hooker himself."

GROUNDHOGS - Scratching the Surface "The raw, rootsy Scratching The Surface ranks among the finest albums to emerge from the British blues-rock boom, matching Tony McPhee's memorable original tunes with a blistering reworking of the Muddy Waters classic 'Still A Fool.' The album features the Groundhogs' original recording lineup of McPhee, bassist Peter Cruickshank, drummer Ken Pustelnik and harp player Steve Rye. Out of print for decades and never before reissued domestically, this cult classic has been meticulously restored, using Sundazed's usual exacting standards; pressed on high-quality audiophile vinyl, and features original cover art." Originally released on World Pacific in 1968.

GUN - (S/T) (RI/Ltd.) This UK heavy progressive rock band featured the Gurvitz brothers. A bit like a more progressive Cream with killer guitar work and a vibe that draws on acid rock style workouts whilst suffusing the whole with a sense of exploration. Features the hit single "Race With The Devil" (later covered by Black Oak Arkansas and Girlschool, and featuring one of THE killer riffs of all time) as well as the 11 minute freakout "Take Off", great playing throughout with a heavy acid rock feel. File next to May Blitz.... $10.99

HIGH TIDE - Sea Shanties The first and probably best known High Tide album, originally recorded in 1969 and issued on Liberty. A brilliant UK progressive psych band that grew from the ashes of the Misunderstood (Tony Hill played guitar), High Tide packed a lysergic punch full of heavy psychedelia powered by a guitar, bass, violin and drums line-up that pushed right to the limit of the sonic spectrum. The band included future Hawkwind member Simon House on violin!!

JOHN'S CHILDREN - Orgasm (1966) (Import/Get Back/180 gram) Reissue of the classic original 1966 album, recorded before Marc Bolan joined. This is a celebration of UK sixties beat with a proto psych bend. Includes two live tracks, a brace of 'B' sides and a guest appearance by Jeff Beck. The dubbed on crowd adulation adds to the overall feel of this rare period piece. Gatefold 180 gram vinyl. $21.99

MIGHTY BABY - (S/T) (1969) (Import/Lightning Tree) "At long last here is a proper and official re-issue, in its beautiful sleeve, of the debut album by UK psych legends Mighty Baby. Released in 1969 on the Head label in a sleeve that featured a stunning piece of psychedelic artwork by acclaimed underground pop artist Martin Sharp, Mighty Baby's first album was a magical slice of late '60's West Coast influenced UK psychedelic rock from a band that had evolved from mod gods The Action. After changing their names, growing their hair and (allegedly) taking lots of drugs, this masterpiece emerged. Mixing progressive and psychedelic influences with Eastern instrumentation this great album finally gets the quality release it deserves in the original gatefold sleeve." $27.99

MORNING AFTER - Blue Blood ~ From the UK, 1971. LP in an edition of 450 numbered copies, with glossy heavy & embossed sleeve, 180 gram pressing. "Here we have a completely unknown album from England from 1971. Morning After recorded this LP as a demo only to acquire a record deal (as so many bands did in the late '60s early '70s). So the album was pressed only in tiny amounts. The recording was with home studio equipment. Some of the tracks on the album sound like blues rock from the late Fleetwood Mac and some have a more progressive touch such as Shuttah. Great & heavy guitar work, fuzz and wah-wah all over the album, snotty vocals, all own great compositions. The album title Blue Blood assumed a noble wealthy family and a member of the establishment, but the music and lyrics are just the opposite. The music on this album is pure British Underground, electrifying, pure and raw, no Sgt. Pepper sing along tunes. Just superb!"

NEON PEARL - 1967 Recordings (UK Import/Acme) "Previously unissued 1967 garage psych featuring Peter Dunton who later formed Please and T2. Killer tracks throughout and a great testimony to this short lived band that also featuring Bernie Jinks (later of T2/Bulldog Breed)." 2001 release. $25.99

ONE WAY TICKET - Time Is Right LP (Import/ltd. 500) "Behind this obscure and mysterious British late-'60s psych record we find the team of producers Brian Carroll and Damon Lyon-Shaw, famous for their involvement with mod-psych bands like Factory and Five Day Rain. During the late '60s, they also recorded some tracks of their own at the legendary IBC studios and produced a bunch of underground groups for their Homegrown company. Basically, instead of a real group, One Way Ticket was in fact a mixture of various recordings from bands that Carroll and Lyon-Shaw had been involved with producing through Homegrown during 1968, along with some recordings of their own. For some strange reason, all of these recordings surfaced many years later, when they were gathered and released as a budget pressing album, featuring a mysterious cover art and made-up liner notes & credits, under the One Way Ticket name on the President label in 1978. Musically, it's an odd album which ranges from late-'60s underground psych in the Chocolate Soup vein to freaky blues-psych not unlike Oliver's 'Standing Stone' with some glam-mod-psych and rockin' tunes. It even features three tracks also covered by the legendary Five Day Rain on their rare album." Reissued with original artwork and remastered sound, insert with lyrics and 500 copies only.

SKID ROW (Gary Moore) - 34 Hours LP (RI) (GTFLD) Second album from this early Gary Moore outfit that was released by CBS in 1971 and was a far more hard rockin' affair than the debut album.

SOFT SHOE - "For those alone": label description: “Incredibly rare folk- prog record from the United Kingdom. Mellow sounds, nice vocals and good arrangements, it's a pity that this record that had only a very limited private release. Said that, we can easily say that this title ranges among the best obscure electric folk- prog records coming from the UK in those years.Even the artwork can easily concur as one of the most beautiful of this genre. Recommended. Limited to 400 copies only, coming in top quality exact replica covers of the original albums, and great remastered sound.”

SOFT MACHINE - Volume 2 Vinyl pressing of the 2nd Soft's album. During the time between their first and second albums, soft machine toured with The Jimi Hendrix Experience and even briefly employed future Police guitarist Andy Summers as a replacement for Daevid Allen. Bassist and songwriter Kevin Ayers left the band and was replaced by Hugh Hopper, a move that put to rest the psychedelic pop era of Soft Machine: from here on out, the band would be heavily influenced by jazz. Volume Two is as much a transitional release for Soft Machine as their debut album, as it represents the band at a period just before they developed their mature style.

THREE MAN ARMY - 3    The third album from three man army, the band based around the riffmongous talents of Paul and Adrian Gurvitz, also of Baker Gurvitz Army and the original Gun, and one of whom had a particularly dodgy Top 10 hit in the 80s, but let's gloss over that bit!!

UGLY CUSTARD - (S/T) LP (Import/Wah Wah) "This UK exploitation classic sees finally a proper reissue thanks to Wah Wah. This studio session group -- also known as The Mohawks -- formed by Clem Clattini (drums), Roger Coulham (keyboards), Herbie Flowers (bass) and library maestro and Alan Parker on killer guitar released this obscure album on Kaleidoscope records in 1971, not unsimilar to some other gems of the era like Blue Phantom, Psycheground, The Underground Set, Traffic Pop on Studio G's Beat Group... classic psych-sploitation sounds with a nod to prog and, of course, the funky side of things: 'Custards Last Stand' and 'Feel This' are pure mod Hammond-funk in the best Mohawks tradition.

"THE VILLAGE THING - The Sun Also Rises LP (Import/Wah Wah) Lovely sought-after 1970 British acid folk rarity reissued in 1999 from the Village Thing label master tapes of their only album of all original songs. The Sun Also Rises were a mystical, magical hippie female and male folk duo, Graham and Anne Hemingway from Cardiff, playing guitars, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, bells, kazoo, percussion, and other instruments, joined by label-mate John Turner on string bass. VERY much in the creative style and delivery of the Incredible String Band, with many similarities to Dr. Strangely Strange, COB, Comus, Forest and Tir Na Nog. Songs of wizards, dragons, death, love, dreams and suicide; tripped-out, spellbinding, esoteric folk collages. "Through the mirror on the floor lies the secret of the door...Beyond is fantasy though it could be reality...". Bonus rare non-LP track, "Fafnir & The Knights". Will come as a wonderful surprise for lovers of the Incredible String Band and their ilk, there were few bands that were able to stray into this much loved world of fantasy and folk music.

WITCH - Lazy Bones!! (Import/Shadoks) 2nd pressing on transparent blue vinyl, edition of 300 copies. LP reissue in heavy jacket, originally released in 1975. Another out-of-nowhere African 70's rock discovery in the Blo mold. "Completely unknown band from Zambia, privately pressed on a small local label, this five-piece electric band plays a strong electric African underground style. Tons of wah wah-fuzz guitar in every track, African-style beats and vocals and all original songs. If bands from Nigeria such as Blo and Ofege and bands from Zambia such as Rikki Ililonga and Chrissy Zebby are all travelling on the psychedelic highway at 100 mph, the Witch overtakes them with 120. On the cover we can read: if you're feeling depressed, low, disturbed, out-of-sorts, sad, frustrated or widely demented, then folks, we suggest you seek out a quiet place, indulge in some soothing meditation and cut away that headache by listening to this inspirational album."
