Reggae, soul, psychedelia, plain rock, soundtracks, pop are some of the things you would have a chance to see here. We do not cover those styles systematically since they already benefit from considerable means in terms of distribution and promotion. But it happens here and there that some nicely packaged "unreleased before" concerts succeed in making their way to this place. Enjoy!


  • 3 Hür-El was one of the very few, if not the only one, Turkish groups not doing any covers but only self-penned compositions. They released two wonderful albums that the Spanish label Guerssen is now making available for you vinyl freaks!
    + the self titled album (GUESS057) is their debut, originally released in 1972. A brilliant set of Turkish ethno-influenced folk-rock tracks with a psychedelic feel, some great electric guitar and fantastic Eastern percussion. A very rare album now available again, with mastertape sound and coming with an insert, with liners and photos.
    + Hür-El Arsivi (GUESS056) is their second longplayer which came out in 1976; an absolutely killer album and easily one of the top Turkish ones. It has a more Western feel...Feridun was here infected by fuzz virus and his two-arm guitar (one for guitar, one for saz) will give you no rest. Also there's much more drums than percussion now, so we get an astounding blend of psychedelic rock with Turkish tradition, plenty of distorted fuzz guitar and electric saz. Comes with an insert, with liners and photos.
  • Acid Mothers Temple And The Cosmic Inferno : Ominous From The Cosmic Inferno. Essence Music (ESS09CD). After a long period of great expectation - the band had been carefully planning this album for us during the last couple of years, Acid Mothers Temple finally debuts on Essence Music with two releases (see also 41st Century Splendid Man Returns)! And what this powerful quartet delivers on Ominous From The Cosmic Inferno is a nothing short but amazing. A super wild, punishingly dark slab of experimental psychedelic hell where fuzz blasted, ultra riffing and hypnotic speed guru guitar chaos - courtesy of Mr. Kawabata Makoto - meet early Amon Düül-influenced druggy, acoustic, mantric folk experimentalisms and eastern drones from below. The scent of sulphur fills the air and brings on the Japanese psychedelic inferno! Presented in our deluxe, sturdy gatefold mini-LP packaging featuring cosmic artwork by Jason Killinger and including a striking pop-up!
  • Acid Mothers Temple And The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. : 41th Century Splendid Man Returns. Essence Music (ESS010CD). Motorik krautrock rhythms work side by side with interstellar signals, ghostly female voices and analog synths. Bursts of damaged psych brilliance and free guitars open and seal the album, healing the aural wounds for/from the mammoth droney, mysterious and transcendental ambient experience of the title track, built with the aid of a non traditional array of instruments, like sarangi, sitar, zurna and tibetan trumpet. Definitely not of this world! This is one of the many incarnations of the band, a combo also featuring, at the time of the recordings, the beautiful vocals of Cotton Casino and the appearance of Tatsuya Yoshida from Ruins as one of the special guests. As always, monster guitarist and mastermind Kawabata Makoto leads the troup to ensure a safer trip. Originally released as an extremely limited 12" picture vinyl on Tumult Records, this extended CD edition features two extra tracks, new artwork - including a stunning psychedelic painting by Jason Killinger - and comes in our deluxe, custom old school miniature LP gatefold packaging!
  • Laurel Aitken : Calypso Rock And Roll - Early Mento Recordings. Rumble Records (RUM2011020LP). 15/12/11. Unmissable singles collection documenting the early days of the man the world will always remember as the "Godfather of Ska". Born in Cuba in 1927 but raised in Jamaica, Laurel Aitken played an important role in the growth of the "Mento" music (indigenous Jamaican folk-based music, blending elements of European melody and African rhythm) phenomenon, while the Jamaican music industry was taking its first, hesitant steps back in 1958. This is a must-have for anyone willing to know more on the origins of Rocksteady and Ska.
  • Laurel Aitken : Boogie In My Bones- Early Steps Of The Godfather Of Ska. Rumble Records (RUM2011021LP). 15/12/11. More of the R&B and early Mento singles by the Godfather of Jamaican Ska. Chronicling his last 12 months before leaving the island in 1960, this collection includes his collaborations with legendary Jamaican producers such as Chris Blackwell and Duke Reid, confirming his calypso leanings, but also anticipating that pronounced guitar offbeat heralding the approach of Ska.
  • Almamegretta : EnnEnne. Goodfellas (GF2781CD). 09-06-16. One of the most accomplished and celebrated bands in the field of contemporary, unclassified Pop Music. Almamegretta are masters in combining a wide range of elements such as Dub, Funk, Reggae, World and Electronica, all filtered through their own deep southern Italian roots. The band from Naples is now back with a new album, mixed by the Dub Master Adrian Sherwood, who had already been involved in their mid-nineties masterpiece "Sanacore". This new work consists of ten tracks, nine originals plus a well chosen cover of an old Neapolitan hit by Nino d'Angelo transformed into a lovers rock style song. Almamegretta's original line up of Gennaro T Tesone, Paolo Polcari and Raiz is augmented by a great list of collaborators and the result is a strong and multi layered set made of Afro-Funk numbers, Reggae Ballads, and other Riddims, while the British Dub influence remains central within the group's wide sound palette. Also released as LP + 7".
  • Avvoltoi : Amagama. Go Down (GOD 121). Street date: 04/12/14. This is the new album from 'Gli Avvoltoi', after exactly thirty years since they gave a breath of fresh air on the Italian music scene. It is spanning from the Beat of their early years to more heterogeneous episodes, mixing hard-psychedelic '90s sounds up to the present day with their unique style.
  • Bandido: S/T. Barnyard (BAR-340). 2014. Bandido is a rare and sought after piece of Mexican funk rock, originally released in 1973. Nearly impossible to find on LP until now, this octet cut only the one classic album and then disappeared. With a ripping horn section and some nice organ work, the band mixes funk, hard rock, jazz, soul, and latin influences in equal measure concocting a beautiful stew that will appeal to a wide range of collectors.
  • Blue Phantom: Distortions. AMS 05 LP (May 2010). First legitimate reissue with its original artwork for what is mostly considered the best instrumental psych record coming out of Italy. Entirely instrumental, Distortions was released in Italy in 1971, along with a single, and later released in other European countries, among which England, this time with a complete different artwork. Both album and single appeared in Italy on Vedette subsidiary Spider label, and were composed (under his nickname Tical) and played by Armando Sciascia.
  • Brainticket: Celestial Ocean (ereacd1006). Street date: 28/06/10. Esoteric Recordings continue with releases on their new Reactive imprint, (dedicated to reissues of classic German rock), with the first ever UK CD release of Celestial Ocean by Brainticket. Formed in 1968 by Belgian born keyboard player Joel Vandroogenbroeck, the band broke up pretty quickly and Celestial Ocean comes from a new incarnation of the group featuring drummer Barney Palm and comprising Swiss and Italian musicians. It was recorded in Rome in 1973 and was an impressive Psychedelic rock album inspired by the Egyptian Book of the Dead, later much sampled by European Trance DJs. The album "Psychonaut" is also planned for reissue (ereacd1005) at the same date. It was recorded in Milan in 1972 and was less intense than "Cottonwood Hill", the band's debut album from 71, but was more cohesive
  • Cilibrinas Do Éden : S/T. Nosmokerecords (0100 & 0100CD). Those recordings were done for Philips in 1973 and feature the Brazilian singer Rita Lee of Os Mutantes's fame, together with her friend Lúcia Turnbull . Never officially released in vinyl or CD, they are now available in a deluxe vinyl format with only 500 numbered copies done. Also available in papersleeve CD in the same amount of copies. This release contains also 2 rare outtakes from Os Mutantes. You will certainly dig this if you like Mutantes: these recordings are a mix of their psychedelic style with some glam-rock freakness. Fantastic professionally remastered sound, unbelievable material for all Os Mutantes fans, and probably one of the best lost albums of Brazilian psychedelia!!!
  • Circuit Rider: S/T. Klimt Records (MJJ331LP). 16/02/12. 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.
  • Damon: Song Of A Gypsy. Xenos, USA, 2009. Debut album originally released in 1969 by an American gypsy musician who is responsible of probably the rarest and most sought-after psychedelic music album of all time. This album has a totally unique sound, with the "crooner-like" voice of Damon, the omnipresent melodic fuzz guitar of Charlie Carey and truly atmospheric melodies. Deluxe papersleeve edition.
  • El Petit de Cal Eril: I Les Sangartanes Al Sol (Bankrobber 8429085254528). Triple digipack CD. Coming from Spain, this album follows the best tradition of psychedelic folk: organic and warm sound, experimental loops, traditional flavour, naif sparkles, flutes, xylophones, unclassificable noises....
  • Factory: Path Through The Forest. Guerssen GUESSCD 021. Street date: 01/04/09. Sixties UK freakbeat legends get a new legit re-release of their complete available recordings (4 tracks appearing on their two 45s, plus a couple tracks taken from acetates and a new mix of "Path through the forest" that includes the original, different psychedelic effects that were supposed to make it to the original release but were dropped out by the MGM label superviser.
  • Flippers: Pronto Viviremos Un Mundo Mucho Mejor. Guerssen GUESSCD 023. Street date: 01/04/09. One of Colombia's better known 60's & 70's groups. The music on this album is quite special, as it blends psychedelia with progressive sound and soul as well. As an addition, this first ever reissue comes with a killer bonus track from an earlier 45, with a killer sound reminiscent of Iron Butterfly.
  • Erkin Koray: Meçhul : Singles & Rarities. Sublime Frequencies (SF 067). Sept. 2011. Good news for those of you following this Turkish cult singer! This compilation gathers rarities and unreleased stuff conceived between 1970 and 1977 and not present in his official discography.
  • Baris Manço: Dünden Bugüne (GUESS054). Planned street date: October 10th, 2008. One of the leading Turkish rock musicians ever and one of the most influent, along with Erkin Koray, Edip Akbayram and Cem Karaca. This is his first longplayer, released in 1971 by Sayan Productions. It's a compilation of tracks taken from previously released 45s, plus the track "Lory" that only appeared on this album. Killer psych rock with strong Turkish flavour, this features Baris' all-time classics like "Derule" or "Daglar Daglar", as well as the brutal wah-wah flooded "Küçük bir gece müzigi" with its infectious drumming that drives mad anyone searching for sampling stuff. Not to be confused with two different releases with the same name that actually have different tracklist and artwork, this is the real album as it was originally released, for the first time having the vinyl reissue treatment for your big pleasure. In addition, this will also include an insert with great shots of Baris.
  • Mebusas: Blood Brothers. Academy LP/CD reissue (ALP003 & ACD003). Oct. 09. A large and multitalented group, The Mebusas "Blood Brothers" album (1973) reflects the diversity of its members. Elements of soul, funk and psychedelic rock as well as Latin, Caribbean and African music come together in a powerfully unique album recorded in Nigeria. This is the first ever reissue of their only LP.
  • Ngozi Family: 45.000 Volts. NoSmoke Records (NSO-005CD). Dec. 09. Stunning, rare as hell album from the rich Zambian "Zamrock" scene from the 70's, have you ever heard of this record before??? The Ngozi Family (Ngozi means danger, and dangerous is their music indeed!) were also the band backing Chrissy Tembo on his now well-known "My ancestors" album. They released this one in 1977, and you'll be amazed when you hear it if you're somehow into Hendrix, Black Sabbath, heavy psychedelia or Afro psych-rock. This papersleeve CD release has a surprising high quality sound and is limited to 500 copies only. One of the rarest rock albums of the whole world, get it while you can, as the vinyl version was sold out in a few weeks!!!
  • Ofege: Try And Love. Academy Records. Released as LP (ALP001) or CD (ACD001) on a New York based label, dealing exclusively in reissues of obscure and unheard albums, here's the debut album by very young high school Nigerian musicians, from 1973. Due to their vibrant combination of sweet harmonies, hooks & fuzz, they would become one of the most legendary Nigerian groups of all time. Available as a high quality virgin vinyl pressing and a deluxe digipack CD, both versions have brand new liner notes with an interview about the recordings of the album. An interesting incursion into psychedelic Afro-Rock!
  • One Way Ticket: Time Is Right. Guerssen GUESSCD 022. Street date: 01/04/09. Obscure British psych band with producers Brian Carroll and Damon Lyon-Shaw behind. Musically, it's an odd album which ranges from late 60's 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.
  • Paroni Paakkunainen: Plastic Maailma. Rocket Records (ROK38). 2010. Prog psych freak experimental rock from 1971. This is the holy grail from Finland with ex-Apollo member Harri Saksala. Also featuring several other important members of the Finnish underground rock scene.
  • Emmanuelle Parrenin: Maison Rose. Souffle Continu (FFL024CD). Sept. 2022. This reissue of a French experimental folk classic from 1969 is also an expanded edition, presenting two unreleased tracks. Maison Rose is a perfect marriage of tradition and experimentation. On one hand we have the humble and non-demonstrative singing, with melodies which remind us of songs we would sing to calm a child's nightmares, and on the other hand a pronounced rhythmic intensity at times, where the drums in particular reminds us of krautrock legends Faust.
  • Emmanuelle Parrenin: Pérélandra. Souffle Continu (FFL025CD). Sept. 2022. First CD edition of "Pérélandra", a collection of unreleased songs from the "Maison Rose" era, originally released on vinyl for RSD in 2017. Created from previously unpublished recordings from 1978, 1981 and 1982, Pérélandra is a wonderful array of the experiments so unique to Emmanuelle Parrenin. The experimental tracks have a more composed instrumental form and were conceived for choreography.
  • Various Artists: Psichedelic Portugal (Lisergic Emanations 021). June 08. From the so long overlooked Portuguese scene comes now this great release: 700 vinyl copies, with insert containing photos, liners and a fantastic remastered sound. You will get some good fuzz & organ from Pop Music Five Inc, dreamy UK styled psych-pop by Plexus and Evoluçao, stunning hard-psychedelia by Ex-Libris, a rare track by the mighty Quarteto 1111, sitar psychedelia by Jose Cid, and much more! Some sung in English, other in Portuguese, but all killers that really make this amazing collection an absolute must have for any psychedelia collector. If you dug the Spanish "Andergraun Vibrations" compilation, be sure to pick this one as it's equally good and following a very similar direction! And don't ask for it in a few years, it will be gone since long! Thóse things have usually a very short life
  • Psychedelic Turkish Music distributed by Guerssen:
    + 3 HUR-EL (Uç HUREL): Same (WPC6-8462) CD. From World Psychedelia Label. Their first LP, another masterpiece of Turkish psychedelic delight, culled from singles by the three very talented Hur El brothers, and released in 1972 in small quantities on Diskotur.
    + 3 HUR-EL (Uç HUREL): Hurel Harsivi (WPC6-8463)CD. Their second album and a masterpiece of Turkish psychedelic freakbeat delight, recorded between 1970 and 1975. It has the heavy hashish sound-fuzz guitar, empassioned vocals and eastern percussion-that makes Turkish psych so savoury to the rest of the world.
    + Erkin Koray: Elektronic Turkeler CD. First released by Dogan Plakcilik in 1974; terrific heavy Eastern raves and drones from Turkey's legendary freaked-out psychedelic guitar guru.
    + Les Mogul: Danses et Rhythmes de la Turquie (WPC6-8460) CD. A strange collection of melodic crypto-folk instrumentals with a weird Zombies/Animals touch, recorded by the biggest selling group in Turkey at the time; this record won the coveted Grand Prix du Disque from the Académie Charles Cros.
  • Rice, Victor aka Strikkly Vikkly: Volume 1. Brainlab Groove (BLGR005LP). LP + Download. 18/12/14. This LP marks Strikkly Vikkly's full-length debut, 15 years after the release of the self-titled single on the Version City Dub Clash compilation (Stubborn Records 1999). Producer Victor Rice (a.k.a. Vikkly) brings 14 tracks ranging from downtempo drops to insistent steppers, all shrouded in the Tape-Saturated Timbres, the Shimmering Echoes, the Polyrhythmic Delays and the Rude Reverb Reports that fans have come to expect from this techno-throwback. All 14 dubs are performed live on the mixing desk (in at most five takes). All instrumental arrangements are live improvisations, choices made in real time. What you get on this record are the favorites from each session. This release has collaborations with: Cedric Brooks (JA) & Kevin Batchelor (US), Uzimon (US), King Cobrizo (AR), B NegÒo (BR), Pitsh· (AN), Ticklah (US), Brother Culture (UK), Mr T Bone (IT), Tommy Tornado (NL) Chris Murray (CA), and the Japonicans (JP).
  • SJOB Movement : A Move In The Right Direction. Academy LP/CD reissue (ALP002 & ACD002). Oct. 09. Deep and spacy Afro-Funk rhythms from heavy weight Nigerian musicians Spark, Jonnie, Ottay and Bolla, veterans of Sonny Okosun's Ozzidi Band; these artists branched out in 1974 in a heavier, more personal direction. First ever reissue of this psychedelic Afro Funk classic!
  • Spirit of the Matter: Zuble Land. Musea Parallèle (MP3208). Sept. 2010. Formed in 2007 by Ian Marek (Guitar, violin & theremin), El Jibi (Keyboards & electronic instruments) and Remi (Drums), Spirit Of The Matter plays an improvised psychedelic music, enhanced by an important overdub work in studio. The band has begun to meet a wider audience on the psychedelic rock scene, through a diffusion on Internet of the opus "Le Miroir A Trois Faces" that brought a very personal color and a real identity to the band. The latter claims a filiation with underground rock of the Sixties, Krautrock (CAN especially) as well as the experimental music and the psychedelic excentricities of the Seventies. "Zuble Land" presents an initiatory trip through cosmos and the exploration of an imaginary planet named Zuble. The only vehicle used here is the strength of a music and sounds that really take you elsewhere...
  • Stone Harbour: Emerges (74). US Basement psych with two multi-instrumentalists creating a melancholic dreamlike state with songs fading in and out of the speakers, cavemen drums, primitive electronics and murky fuzz lurking in the background. The booklet includes lyrics and notes; the disc has a handful of previously unreleased tracks from 1975 sessions as bonus tracks.
  • Sun Dial: S/T. Headspin Records (HSLP316). 2010. Limited edition (400) in black vinyl, housed in a cover designed by Hugh Gilmour (famous for doing covers of cult albums in the 70's. The highly regarded UK psych-rock outfit Sun Dial is fronted by founder/ guitarist/singer Gary Ramon and ex-Chapterhouse bassist/lyricist Russell Barrett. This certainly is their most heaviest album to date. The sound has been stripped down and the band's now a mean 3-piece , quitar/vocals, bass and drums, no keyboards on the album! Fits straight into the stoner/heavy psychrock genre.
  • Sunforest: Sound of Sunforest (ACLN 1012). UK acid folk from 1969 with a popsike feel, sporting harpsichord and (somewhat) medieval-tinged arrangements integrated into electric and acoustic folk-esque tunes. This reissue includes a 20-page booklet with additional insider information on the band, as well as lyrics. Licensed from Decca/Universal, UK.
  • Tobruk: Ad Lib. Cash Box (CB501). 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 a pretty good 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. 500 copies vinyl reissue and 500 papersleeve CDs, with remastered sound.
  • Terlazzo, John: Honor Among Thieves. May 09. Beggar Recordings. Loner psych-folk from York, PA, private pressing from 1983, whose about 300 recently unearthed sealed, mint archive copies of the original album have been recently put on the market! Between folk rock and a songwriter style much influenced by Leonard Cohen. Last chance for a good deal, as copies still reach high prices on internet auctions!
  • The Snail Knows And R.Sawake: How to Fail Twice (SHAME 03 CD). 2011. Behind this weird title is a project born from the ashes of Muzak, an Italian band from Salento applauded for the wonderful, imaginative "In case of loss, please return to:" from 2006. The musicians are Henry Russell (vocals, keyboards), assisted by Alberto Piccinni (guitar), Antonio Palumbo and Fabio Magistral (the latter well-known music producer in underground areas). "How to fail twice" is a sound experience for strong stomachs and hearts, and for Syd Barrett fans, with lots of Floydian references, including psychedelia, ambient and electronic, including acid narcosis guitars and flowing strokes of piano. The old Syd would be at ease.
  • Underground Failure: S/T. Black Light (GS 1002). Swedish underground counter-culture monster album from 1971, originally released as a private pressing of 150 copies, never sold at shops at the time. These bunch of freaks were clearly influenced by Dylan, early Velvet Underground and The Fugs but they came with a sound of their own. Stoned/druggy atmosphere alternating from acoustic/acid-folk tracks to devastating fuzzed out ones. Limited to 500 copies, with remastered sound in nice papersleeve mini-lp replica.
  • Warlus: Songs. Guerssen GUESSCD 024. Street date: 01/04/09. Released as a private edition of only 200 copies in 1977 on the "Joint" label (but recorded two years earlier, in 1975), Warlus "Songs" could be regarded as the king of all French 70's obscure private pressings. Warlus was the brainchild of young musician Richard Maubert, who created a mini-masterpiece of twisted, melancholic fuzzed-out psychedelic-pop, with a charming homemade sound/production and druggy atmosphere. Sung in English, this is a very special record that will appeal to both psych afficionados and fans of 70's DIY weirdness. The reissue includes liner notes and pictures. Carefully remastered from a clean original copy (mastertapes were lost in time), and done under permission of Richard Maubert.
  • Wisdoom, The: Hypothalamus. Heavy Psych Sounds (HPS015CD). Digipack. Street date: 13/02/14. The Wisdoom is a doom/sludge/heavy psych band based in Rome (Italy) and formed at the end of 2010. This is their first full length album, with 4 brand new songs for 45 minutes of pure ecstatic violence through a desperate and lysergic trip over sleep phases.
  • Pari Zangeneh: The Series Of Music For Young Adults. KS label (2011-KS). Absolute mega-rarity, an incredible discovery and the ultimate folk-psych artifact unearthed directly from Teheran!!!! Female vocalist Pari Zangeneh recorded this really amazing album in 1976 with a full backing band, covering a number of traditional Persian folk songs and giving them a lovely psychedelic flavour. Beautiful strings, flutes, really charming and tasty drumming, some organ and orchestration, percussions.... A truly fantastic album, and one of the rarest folk-psych records ever to file along other obscurities as Book of Am or Mellow Candle!!! Limited deluxe vinyl reissue in 180g vinyl and thick cover (same type as Shadoks or World in Sound), 350 hand numbered copies. Limited papersleeve CD reissue, beautiful mini-lp replica and only 500 copies.

    • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Andergraun vibrations! (HCD-666,Extradition Hundergrum) documents the unknown Spanish underground psychedelic & progressive scene from the early 70's. 16 tracks recorded between 1970 & 1978 and taken from super rare 45s, some of them originally released as private, tiny pressings with only a handful of copies actually known. But don't panic, this is not boring r&b, scratched acetates or lame garage-beat cover versions.

  • PSYCHEDELIA!: A bunch of releases

    - 13th Floor Elevators: Up On The 13th Floor. Witness Rock PG 1212. Featuring the yelping vocals and visionary, occasionally demented lyrics of Roky Erickson, the 13th Floor Elevators were one of the original acid rock bands. This Witness CD brings us rare unreleased demos, live tracks, and B-sides. It also includes the original take of "You're Gonna Miss Me."
    - 4 Levels Of Existence: S/T. The first ever official CD reissue of an album that many people consider to be the best Greek psychedelic album ever recorded, a belief that would mean that the Four Levels of Existence LP would supercede albums by artists like Axis, Aphrodite's Child, Socrates, and George Romanos. We'll let you decide the argument, for of one thing there is no doubt that this is tremendous hard edged psychedelic/progressive material, originally released in a very small quantity by the private Venus label from 1976. This carefully documented reissue contains the entire Four Levels of Existence LP (its reissue debut), the only recordings they ever made. A twenty-four page booklet includes historical background on the Greek music scene of the early 1970's, details of the band's past written by Alatas, rare photos of the group, as well as lyrics to all the songs in both Greek and English. This CD edition is very strictly limited to 1,000 copies.
    - Aardvark: S/T . Universal. Papersleeve. Psych/Prog/Folk. Reissue of classic Deram album by keyboard dominated progressive rock band from the UK.
    - Agamenon: Todos Rien De Mi. CD / LP (GUESSCD005 / GUESS025). Hippie group from Madrid, this is no doubt the most acid psychedelic rock album recorded in Spain in the 70's. It is their sole album, originally released in 1975 on the Explosion label and a very rare and collectable item. This first ever reissue comes with an insert with some never-seen-before pictures and infos about the band, plus a repro of a very rare band poster. Dig the cover artwork too!!! CD has no poster but a booklet with pics and infos. Slimcase edition.
    - Agincourt: Fly Away. Acme/Lion. 1st official issue of this much-loved album of Moody Blues-influenced home recordings from around 1970, from the fertile minds of psychedelic-folk masters Peter Howell and John Ferdinando
    - Aguaviva: Cosmonauta. Wah Wah (LPS 027). Really amazing and obscure LP by this spanish band led by legendary producer Manolo Diaz. A mixture of avantgarde and serious composition with pop instrumentation, this is a a really amazing lp which borders the outer-space exotica field.
    - Amigos De Maria: Rock (UM 010). Absolutely incredible Chilean group who recorded this amazing album in 1968, though it wasn't released until 1973. This is top-level, perfectly produced garagey psychedelia with wild, pounding drums, great aggressive guitar riffs plus weird and demented vocals!!! Definitely one of the best South American albums from the psych era. Two tracks sung in Spanish, rest in English. First time on CD.
    - Ana Y Jaime: Es Largo El Camino. Amort (Amort 002). Psychedelic fuzz dance, protest song, orchestrated or cool organ-drenched 60's pop. Colombian youngsters Ana y Jaime were only 15 and 17 years old when recording most of the songs on this CD, in the very late sixties.

    - Chico Magnetic Band: S/T. No Smoke (NS003LP/CD). Chico Magnetic Band's eponymus album, released by French Vogue subsidiary Box Office label in 1971, defines the term "Heavy Psychedelia". These bunch of freaks, leaded by Algerian born Mahmoud "Chico" Ayari were clearly influenced by The Jimi Hendrix Experience but somehow they created a music of their own: violent, trashy, stoned as hell heavy psych featuring demented vocals, furious guitars, loud rhythm section and mindblowing studio effects including phasing, backward tapes, weird & groovy electronics... Eight killer tracks including their insane fuzzed-out deconstruction of Hendrix "Crosstown Traffic" and other cult classics. This reissue includes a good number of bonus tracks (6 on the vinyl, and a total of 8 on the CD making their complete recordings). Features an insert with full band story and rare photos.

    - Christopher:What'cha Gonna Do??: deluxe LP reissue of one of the absolute rarest American psychedelic LPs of the 60's. Lion Productions. A rather expensive one too .... BUT highest quality mastering and pressing (done at Acoustech Mastering/RTI in California); the resulting LP is housed in a poly-lined sleeve, itself inside an ultra-heavy 1960's Project label style gatefold jacket, itself in a loose-fitting plastic sleeve. Top of the line pressing all the way. Limited by license to exactly 500 copies!
    - Classical M: Bad Guys: The Complete Collection (1967 - 1970). Lion Productions (Lion 603). Odd French trio with an offbeat sense of rhythm and harmony, a complex intertwining of voices and perhaps more than anything, an unusual practice of trying to play all sorts of instruments - be they electronic or traditional!
    - Clepsydra: In Other Sunsets. M.P. Records MPRCD055. This is the long awaited second album by the Italian trio, a group that seems to be directly influenced (from the music Heaven) by Syd Barrett & Jerry Garcia..... Their original psychedelic formula is boosted in this new album with even more capturating sounds with the use of an Hammond B4, synthesizers, violin and trumpet. A real "trip" in a native American land full of magic and enchanted visions.
    - Clepsydra: Second Era of Stonehenge. M.P. Records MPRCD050. The Clepsydra project started in may 2002 when Fabio Di Gialluca and Danilo Ricci decided to form a rock trio (in the vein of Jimi Hendrix Experince): Filippo De Rubeis joined them at the beginning of 2006, after many changes. Their music is not hard at all to define: they make rock, classic rock of the 70's, and the CD is dedicated to the memory of Syd Barrett, who really inspired all their work. Moreover, to add more prestige to the beautiful songs, Fabio Liberatori plays the Hammond Organ and the Memorymoog........not a bad debut album at all!

    - Dome La Muerte And The Diggers: S/T. Go Down (GOD 019). This is a sophisitcated record, full of melodies and guitar vituosisms, as well as psychedelic dilatations, a creative and hot work which comes from the roots of rock and that asks for revenge. The band's leader is Dome la Muerte, founding member of the legendary band CCM.
    - Ersen: Dünden Bugüne. Underground Masters UM 005. A very sought after album by psychedelia collectors in all the world, which contains Arabian flavoured psych-rock with complex drumming and some great fuzz assaults.
    - Extradition: Hush. Guerssen GUESS 036. LP. It was 1971 when the rarest, and probably most wonderful Australian folk album of all times was released. The trio Extradition recorded this monsterpiece, Hush, and got it released on the Sweet Peach label. It is a very highly regarded album by worldwide collectors and fans of folk, psychedelia and progressive though it's basically acid folk music alone. It's so fragile, so rich, so beautifully done; there's a large and impressive list of instruments used here like piano, harmonium, harpsichord, bamboo flute, dulcimer, triangle, glockenspiel, guitar, violin, tablas, etc, and the beautiful female vocals round up the whole set. Nice reissue with remastered sound and insert.
    - Extradition: Hush. Vicious Sloth. CD (VSC-016). First official re-issue of this classic messed up Acid Folk LP from 1971.

    - FIRE: Could You Understand Me. Skyf Zol label. Psychedelic album by 3 guys from Yugoslavia but living in the Netherlands. First issued on the private Killroy label in 1973.
    - Five Day Rain: S/T. Nightwish (NWR005). This CD is the very first legit release of the Five Day Rain rare album. The NWR CD edition has been realized with the contribution of Rick Sharpe, founding member of the band. The record has the original track-list running order and further includes a few bonus tracks, a Bob Dylan cover (Too Much Of Nothing) and four other outtakes recently completed by Rick with the originally missing vocal parts. A 12 pages booklet displays rare photos and the band's history, while the beautiful cover artwork is a John Hurford illustration. Five Day Rain were a UK psych monster from the early 70's, formed in 1968 as Iron Prophet, a rather heavy trio.
    - Folkords: Release the Sunshine. Pacemaker PACE 047-LN. Dreamy pop/psych released in 1968 by the independent Canadian label Allied Records.
    - Friends: S/T. ACME/Lion. Folk/psych album from Peter Howell and John Ferdinando, musical brainchildren behind Ithaca, Agincourt, Alice Through the Looking Glass, and Tomorrow Come Someday. An album so incredibly rare (only a single acetate exists), that many collectors have doubted the album's existence until now!
    - Genesis .... wait! It's not the super prog band you're thinking of! This Genesis comes from Columbia and they released a bunch of lps, of which two are about to be reissued late June 2007
    + the self titled album, their 2nd (GUESS 034), was recorded in March 1974 and released by Famoso (a Codiscos sub-label). It's a record that is still unmatched in its field. Flutes, acoustic, electric & 12 string guitars, percussions, bass, occasional harmonica and brilliant vocals offer an unusual and charming sound in the folk, rock & psychedelic veins, but always with a wonderful Andinean folk feel.
    + Yakta Mama was released one year later in 1975 and followed the same direction than their second.
    This is the first ever reissue of such wonderful albums and it's a limited edition of 500 vinyl units only, coming with insert featuring liner notes and pictures. A CD version will also be released later this year!
    - Gualberto: Vericuetos. Warner Spain. 76 and 2nd album by a true master of flamenco psychedelic prog!
    - Hardal: Nereden nereye! (UM 008). Hardal was the most important prog group in late 70's Turkey and recorded this, their first album, in 1980. It's a very special album, as it really doesn't sound like any classic progressive group, we'd say. It has good fuzz guitar work, nice synths, even some piano and some pop hints. A very nice album that finally gets its CD reissue, for the first time.
    - Hell Preachers Inc. : Supreme Psychedelic Underground. Wah Wah (LPS 025). Very close to the sound of "Shades Of Deep Purple", it contains some great Hammond works, guitar pyrotechnics with loads of wah wah and distortion and psychedelic vocals. The whole album is a sonic blast that will appeal to fans of Deep Purple, psychedelic hipsters and of course general collectors and afficionados.
    - Hootch: S/T. Hummingbird HMCD1001. Originally released in 1974 on the Pro-gress Records label, this mysterious LP offers a blend of great experimental psych and mindblowing guitar jams.

    - Isolation: S/T. Desolation (DL001). 12-string guitar, electric guitar, violin, flute, piano, bass and great vocals... reminiscent of UK folk-psych legends Ithaca, this album was released in micro-quantity back in 1973.

An explosive mix of psychedelic pop, yeyé music & bizarre studio experimentation featuring 12 superb tracks full of fuzz guitars, groovy vocals and swirling organ with very explicit drug related lyrics.
    - Limonada: Limonada. Lion Productions (Lion 607). Born from the ashes of legendary candombe/beat group El Kinto, one of the best-kept secrets from Uruguay's musical mythology is nevertheless the group of musicians who recorded one album as Limonada in the middle of 1970. It is a strange record, with backwards tape splices, abrupt song changes, yet at the same time it is absolutely accessible and very groovy, in a Tropicalia sort of way. This carefully researched reissue contains the entire Limonada LP (its reissue debut), supplemented by an extended live bonus track. The sixteen page booklet includes historical background on the Uruguayan scene, details of the band's past, plenty of photos, as well as a brief overview of the legendary Sondor label.

    - Ptarmigan: S/T. Lion Productions (Lion 609). First official release of this cult favorite, an album overflowing with brooding, mystical, Eastern-influenced hippie psychedelia dominated by long and largely instrumental tracks, all based on a complex interplay of recorder, hand drums and acoustic guitar. Ptarmigan recorded the basic tracks for what would eventually become their only album in Vancouver, B.C. during the fall of 1972. It then took the band's producer and manager, renowned flautist Paul Horn, more than a year to find a label willing to release such unusual music. Finally, in 1974, Columbia Records released Ptarmigan's album to critical acclaim, and minimal sales. The music of Ptarmigan is deep and authentic, and sounds best when meditating on a landscape, an emotion, or a bottle of wine. Sometimes it is free-flowing and jazz-oriented; at other times it has the mystical feel of a shamanistic ceremony, with its oriental or South American harmonies. This reissue comes with a 28-page booklet that includes lyrics, liner notes from the band, and a multitude of photos and historical mementos.
    - Raven Sad: We Are Not Alone. Lizard 0063 CD. 2009. With Pink Floyd and No-Man psychedelic influences Raven Sad second CD stands as an intimistic effort. Samuele B.

Psychedelic Rock.

    - Rick Saucedo: Heaven Was Blue (UM-1002). Loner psychedelic, melodic debut album that was originally released in 1978 on the Reality label in the USA. If you like Michael Angelo, Joe Peace or Bob Trimble, don't let this one pass by!!!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Unusual but REALLY there (Spring 08).... at least for a short time!! Various records from the Mexican psychedelic scene, released on the Orfeon label.

    - American's, Los: "Lo Nuevo De Los American's" (Orfeon, CSM-229). Mid 60's beat and a bit of garage, seems to be a "Best of", with up to 64 minutes (24 tracks), with covers of Kinks, Searchers, Kingsmen, etc...
    - Antorchas, Los: "Los Antorchas" (Orfeon, CSM-205). Antorcha were formed in Mexico DF in 1965, and they only released a 4 track EP in 1966. But they recorded enough material for a full album, in 1966-1968, which never was released, until now. We have here some great great psychedelic garage stuff, with some killer psych guitar and organ, all sung in Spanish, and also some nice beat tracks. Many originals like the fuzzed-out "Dime" but also a few covers like a nearly unrecognisable "Substitute"... With insert.
    - Antorcha: S/T (VAM-001). Previously known as Los Antorchas, these guys changed name to Antorcha when in 1969 they had moved to harder sounds. Acid psychedelic rock, with some slight latin hints, some tracks in Spanish and some in English, with intelligent use of fuzz guitar and a strong rhythm section
    - Bodo Molitor: "Hits internacionales" (Orfeon, CSM-230). A real oddity! Along with Kaleidoscope, this is the rarest of all Mexican psychedelic albums, so rare no one knows it!!!

  • Dub Trio: Another Sound Is Dying. Ipecac IPC97. Wondering about what connects Brookyln's Dub Trio to the nearly 40-year-old Jamaican style that makes up half their name? Find the answer as the riffs, riddims and raw power at the core of Dub Trio's sound get chopped apart, bounced across speaker channels and charged with subsonic frequencies. From the dramatic, shoegaze-style post-metal of "Respite" and the straightforward roots-reggae nods in "Mortar Dub" to the contrapuntal, lid-peeling violence of the closing track, "Funishment", the album showcases Dub Trio's chops and vocabulary as much as it finds them swinging, grooving and pummeling with wrecking-ball force.

    Releases from the Korean label NEW WORLD PSYCHEDELIA

  • Flaviola And The Flock Of The Sun: S/T (WPC6-8491 ): Another great example of Brasilian "psicodelia" from the collective of underground musicians in Recife, a brilliant album, full of strange moments (cellophane crinkled into the microphone as percussion), some deft acoustic guitar. Notes are more or less in English, and hefty booklet includes lyrics too.
  • Fikret Kizilok: S/T (WPC6-8493). A collection of singles by a Turkish protest singer much-beloved by young musicians from the underground scene in Turkey, but virtually unknown anywhere else; the 15 tracks included here (all from 1970-1974) sport some heavy grooves and heavy fuzz-guitar but also tantalize with moody, introspective musings in an Eastern vein.
  • Selda: Vurulduk Ey Halkim Unutma Bizi (also known as "Volume 2") (WPC6-8492). This reissue features the second album (released in 1975) by this much beloved female turkish protest singer, notorious for her clashes with Turkish governments; Selda and her acoustic guitar are accompanied here by a psychedelic rock band which includes members of Mogollar and the result is one of the best records we've heard from Turkey, including "Utan,Utan" (traditional folk sounds spiced with fuzz guitar) and "Karaoglan"; a track like "Askerin Türküsü" is interesting for its medieval arrangements and "Maden Dagi" is sung with great emotion. This is an album which was forbidden in Turkey, which means it has been hard to find since its release; includes eight early singles as bonus tracks.
  • Quarteto 1111: Singles and EPs (WPC6-8490). A band that featured the most legendary musician in Portuguese pop music history (Jose Cid, widely reknowned in mellotron and progressive music circles), and yet this is the first chance we've had to hear anything by his legendary group; what we find is a very nicely packaged fifteen track collection of delicious melodic pop/psychedelia. The Beatles were obviously a very big influence on Quarteto 1111, which is evident in everything from melodic construction of the songs, to use of backward tape effects, instrumentation, string arrangements, etc.); booklet has some notes on the band's history
  • Ellie Pop: S/T. A light and fresh psychedelic folk-pop band with quite an Anglophile sound, originally released on Mainstream in 1968.
  • San Ul Lim: 2. 2nd LP by Korean psych masters with much more fuzz guitar still!!! Excellent organs, amazing album. Recommended!
  • Kim Jung Mi: Now. Mega-rare Korean psych-folk album from the early 70's by top female singer Kim Jung Mi and one of the rarest albums from Korea. Now in jewelcase edition.
  • Shinki Chen: S/T. Extra heavy fuzzy psychedelic rock from Japan in early 70's!

    • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • New CD titles from the French label Underground Masters!
    + Chubby Checker: S/T (UM017). Chubby Checker goes psychedelic! In 1971, while living in Holland, the Twister King released a super rare album with some unknown hippie band backing him. Echoes of Hendrix and Arthur Lee circa "Vindicator" period can be heard in the heavy grooves contained on this record: killer hard guitar, powerful vocals, garagey organ, trippy lyrics, some introspective moments...
    + DRNWYN: Gypsies in the mist (UM011). First time ever reissue of the hard to find sole album by US duo Drnwyn. Wonderful record that has some very cool psychedelic moments and a good number of fabulous folk rock midtempos. There's drums, bass and lots of acoustic guitars in here, but also electric leads, keys, mandolin and multi-part vocals with some female chorus as well. This was a private release back in 1978 and a very recommended album for those into folk-psych and folk-rock.
    + Geysir: S/T (UM016). Actually a North American group based in Iceland, Geysir released this, their only album, in 1974 and was released in Iceland only on the Hljómplötur label. It is regarded as a masterpiece of psychedelic progressive folk-rock and a very sought-after item in its original format. Nothing is known about the band other than being Americans....
    + Las Grecas: Gipsy Rock (UM013). Las Grecas were a couple of young, rocking Spanish gypsy female singers in 1974 recording a whole album with some of the best studio musicians around. All songs have a strong gypsy flavour and flamenco roots, and the backing band is really, really rocking, with tremendous guitar work, some killer fuzz as well and a perfect, surely very expensive production.
    + Hyde: S/T (UM014). Hyde was a Canadian artist recording this album in 1969, and it is said that the backing band recording was no other than Rockadrome, the legendary Canadian psych rock group. It is a very nice psych-folk-rock disc, with Hyde's dylanesque vocals, some good fuzz guitar here and there, and very cool organ sound as well. A rare and obscure album now reissued for the first time.
    + Jean-Yves Tourbin: Gayan (UM012). Rare and unknown album by French artist, only released in Denmark. A must for anyone interested in progressive folk, the quality of the songs on this album nearly reaches the perfection. There's no drums on it, only some percussion, bongos, acoustic and electric guitars, flutes, bass... sung in French, and with some Eastern influences... a real killer of an album, released in 1981 with a real mid 70's sound, no hype!!!
  • A release by Crazy Apple Boutique (CRAP)! Neurotic Reactions (Crap1010). This is a compilation of 20 tracks taken from original 45s from the late 60's and early 70's. Featuring bands from all across the globe: Usa, Spain, UK, France, Italy, Argentine, Germany, Australia...you'll be amazed when you hear the fuzzed out cover of "Shake" by Argentinian band Pintura Fresca, mindblowing sitar-esque acid psych by Serge Franklin, sixties punk fuzz insanity by Les Problemes, top mod psych by The Dukes, Paul King with their impossible to find Spain only 45, soul/psych crossovers by Ray Sharp & The Soul Set and spanish band Los Roberts, funky rock psych by Windows and Primitive Man, a popsyke gem by Terry Britten and much more. Includes liner notes with info & pictures. Professionally remastered sound.

With just a few instruments performing a sort of conversation, the Maestro effectively creates an avant-garde atmosphere, suspended and rarefied, alternating with other violent clashes of sound that provide the ideal background to the situation of pure terror in which the protagonists find themselves. For the making of this CD (with a total length of 55:54), the stereo master tapes of the original session were used.

  • Ennio Morricone: I Ladri della Notte. Beat (BCM9585). Jewel Case CD + 12 pages booklet. Street date: 06-12-19.

(SLCS-7303), and in Spain in 2002 by Saimel Bandas Sonoras (3994210), featuring nine additional tracks approved by the composer, alternating with those of the 1984 album.

Reissue of a drama film directed in 1982 by Pasquale Festa Campanile, originally released as 33 rpm (New Polaris - POL / BP 733), printed in Italy and reissued in Switzerland by Milan (A CH 002). Unfortunately, the album master was lost, but it was possible to reassemble it using the first generation stereo masters of the original session. Apart from some tracks that were identical to those from the session, it was also necessary to edit most of the pieces that Mr. Ortolani had assembled by editing small takes together. Ultimately, the ten tracks from the vinyl (duration about 30:28) were rescued in excellent stereo sound, and in the session masters, twelve unreleased tracks we discovered, bringing the CD to a total duration of 51:50. This soundtrack once again highlights the whole romantic side of Riz Ortolani, certainly one of the greatest melodists in the world. Comes with a 12 page booklet

A funky main theme sung in Neapolitan, a recurring upbeat tarantella in a pop version and a romantic love theme are some of the ingredients used by Ortolani for this soundtrack. The production team were able to access the masters in stereo from the original recording session and use everything that had been recorded.
  • Riz Ortolani: Un Dramma Borghese. Digit Movies (DGST048). Street date: 13-12-19. Limited edition of 300 copies. Riz Ortolani composed an orchestral soundtrack with a recurring main theme resembling a children's lullaby which was written for the adolescent girl in the film. It has a dramatic introduction and is then expanded on with the harpsichord and reprised in different versions with oboe, harp and guitar, giving it a touch of magic. The rustic atmosphere is often interrupted by dramatic and mysterious passages (which perfectly evoke the daughter's unhealthy relationship with her father), as well as baroque music in a pop arrangement. The production team were able to access the masters in stereo from the original recording session and use everything that had been recorded.

  • T2: S/T. Even though fame and fortune never came to pass for T2, their Decca album "It'll All Work out in Boomland" (also reissued in 2008 as ACLN 1010CD) has become an all-time classic amongst collectors of progressive and psychedelic music and even in the techno and dj scenes. Apart from a 1970 Sound of the 70's BBC radio session, (included on the ACLN 1010 CD reissue), fans assumed that "Boomland" was both the beginning and the end of the group's recorded legacy. But Acme Records unearthed an eponymous second album of material, recorded in 1970 with the original line-up as demo tracks for a planned second album. This was first released way back in the late 1990's, and is now available again. This second T2 album, had it been released in 1970, could have put the band on the same level of fame with the likes of Deep Purple and King Crimson (bands with whom T2 shared a stage). So for those of you who missed out the first limited Acme Deluxe pressings of this album, many years ago - or those who only recently have discovered the greatness of the mighty T2 - all we can say is, enjoy the power and glory of the second T2 album!
