Jon Lord/Boom of the Tingling Strings ....CD $15.99

EMI Classics are pleased to release two symphonic works by Jon Lord, better known as a founder member of one of the all-time great rock groups, Deep Purple. Lord's new Piano Concerto, 'Boom of the Tingling Strings,' is performed by Nelson Goerner with the Odense Symfoniorkester under conductor Paul Mann, the concerto's dedicatee. Lord's Suite for String Orchestra, entitled 'Disguises,' completes the programme. Parallel to his rock career, Jon Lord has composed music for orchestra for nearly forty years. Sometimes described as 'classical cross-over,' Lord's compositions reflect his many musical enthusiasms, which, in addition to orchestral music and rock, include jazz and folk music. While still a member of the 'band,' Lord's Concerto for Group and Orchestra was recorded by Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Sir Malcolm Arnold, selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. Since leaving the re-formed Deep Purple in 2002, Jon has focused his attention on composing.

Man/Keep on Crinting: The Liberty-UA Years Anthology ....double CD $15.99

Man/Keep on Crinting: The Liberty-UA Years Anthology ....double CD $15.99

In the 1970s the United Artist label, under the stewardship of Andrew Lauder, was home to some of the most diverse and innovative artists on the British music scene.  Of these artists, few have been as durable and as innovative as Man.  The roots of Man lay in the healthy local South Wales live circuit of the early 1960s; they helped establish the core of the pub-rock sound, but they played louder and also had a progressive componenent to ther work that separated them from many of their rivals.   Whilst signed to UA they released three top 30 albums on the UK charts - Back into the Future, Rhinos Winos & Lunatics and Maxium Darkness.  Tracks from each of these albums are featured.  This long awaited anthology charts the band's career, and also includes three previously unreleased tracks.

High Tide/Sea Shanties + High Tide ....CD $12.99

High Tide are a key link in the late '60s/early '70s chain of developmental heavy metal.   Even the most well-versed rock critics and scholars will look stumped if you mention their name - outside their tiny cult, they were virtually unknown even in their time, and naturally completely forgotten in the three decades since their breakup after only releasing two LPs.  In the pre-Sabbath, post-Hendrix days of 1969, no one was heavier.  Aptly named, High Tide completely engulf the listener in crashing, crushing waves of over amplified guitar riffage, with no letup whatsoever.  Call them the British answer to Blue Cheer.  They pushed the limits of stoned jamming noise before anybody else with sometimes amusing and often ridiculous results.

Sweet Smoke/Just a Poke + Darkness to Light ....CD $12.99

Sweet Smoke/Just a Poke + Darkness to Light ....CD $12.99

Sweet Smoke was an American music group living and playing in Europe from 1970 till 1974.  Orignally from Brooklyn, the group moved to Germany where they lived as a family commune.  Within a year of their arrival they recorded their first LP, Just a Poke, which almost immediatly turned them into a sort of cult icon of the underground scene which was beginning to emerge as Europe's response to the American hippy scene.   An extremely resourceful and creative group, they took the art of spontaneous improvising to new heights, very often involving  their audiences in their music.   Words like rock jazz, acid rock, raga rock, hard rock, experimental music are only some of the words used to describe their music.  Looking back one can see the early roots of fusion and new age music beginning to manifest through them.  Though the basic group consisted of 5 musicians, they came to most of their concerts with their communal famly (10-15 of their friends) who helped them on and off stage to create an atmosphere of a musical happening.

Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, John Wetton.  Asia's original all-star line up returns with their first new studio album in 25 years!  The band's self-titled debut album was the biggest selling album in 1982 spawning a trio of US top 10 singles.   And over the greater part of the '80s Asia racked up 15 million in global record sales.  Rising from the ashes in 2008, this multi-plantinum supergroup returns with Phoenix, the first new album in 25 years featuring the band's original line up.   Featuring the anthemic lead track "Never Again," and the poignant "An Extraordinary Life," Asia's revived the sound that gave them platinum hits and radio staples.

Featured on the album are her much acclaimed reinterpretations of Ralph Stanley's reaper song, 'O Death'; O. V. Wright's '8 Men and 4 Women'; 'Long Black Veil' made popular by Johnny Cash; 'Time (Interlude)' sung by Timi Yuro; Tracy Nelson's 'Down So Low'; her signature rendition of 'Autumn Leaves'; and the favorite 'Heaven Have Mercy', made famous by Edith Piaf.

(excerpt from 'Interference Patterns')
Download     Stream

Following on from the 2005 album 'Present,' Van Der Graaf Generator have put together a brand new album titled 'Trisector.' Van Der Graaf Generator now a stripped-down trio of members Hugh Banton (organ), Guy Evans (drums) and Peter Hammill (vox, guitar, piano), made a storming return to live performance in the spring of 2007. The band started recording their new album in July 2007 and after a period of mixing and overdubbing 'Trisector' is now ready for release. There are nine pieces on the album, one of them instrumental. Unusually for VDGG, only one of these is more than ten minutes long - indeed, five come in at under five minutes. There are, of course, passages of great complexity but there's also a confidence about the group which allows them to leave some simple things as they are. These are songs which dictate their own terms, often with a healthy dose of gallows humour, always with a measure of invention.

Karl Jenkins/Stabat Mater ....CD $15.99

Karl Jenkins/Stabat Mater ....CD $15.99

Following the success of "This Land of Ours," a set of arrangements for brass band and male voice choir that took Britain's most popular living composer back to his Welsh roots, Karl Jenkins returns with a new work to complement his massively successful "Requiem" and "Armed Man." The at once emotional, modern, culturally diverse and universally accessible style that has come to characterise the composer's sound is perfectly exemplified in this poignant new choral album. The orchestration includes instruments indigenous to the area, percussion such as the darbuka & riq and the woodwind duduk. There are two soloists, both female singers, Jurgita Adamonyte and Belinda Sykes, who doubles on duduk or mey, a middle eastern ancient woodwind instrument.

Wayne Shorter/The Soothsayer ....CD $12.99

Wayne Shorter/The Soothsayer ....CD $12.99

Although not released until 1979, this March 1965 session by Wayne Shorter is a classic.  The three-horn front line inspires Shorter as a composer and arranger, and Freddie Hubbard and James Spaulding are a fiery pair of soloists.  The rhythm section features the unique combination of McCoy Tyner and Tony Williams.  From the intricate, darting "Angola" to the melodic beauty of "Lady Day," this album is just further confirmation of Shorter's genius as a saxophonist and a composer.

2008 four CD box set anthology from the Liverpool band. It includes unreleased tracks, early and 'no strings' versions, all their UK singles, EPs and LP masters with some recordings issued only in the USA and Canada.

It contains EMI Columbia recordings from January 1963 until November 1966 and their hit singles 'How Do You Do It?,' 'I Like It,' 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' 'I'm The One' and 'Ferry Cross The Mersey.'

Kevin Ayers/Unfairground ....CD $12.99

Previously available only as an expensive import! The pioneer of British psychedelia returns to delight us with a most extraordinary album, accompanied and encouraged by the musicians he inspired. Kevin Ayers' Unfairground features the myriad talents and members of Hugh Hopper, Phil Manzanera, Bridget St. John, Robbie McIntosh, Teenage Fan Club, Euros Child, Bill Wells, Architecture In Helsinki, Candie Payne and more! Kevin Ayers is one of rock's oddest and most likeable enigmas. There are few artists who qualify more than this recluse for music's highest accolades. He is the bridge between the psychedelia that he helped create and the new sounds and sensibilities of Roxy Music, Eno and David Bowie on whom he was a primary influence. He is also one of rock's more important innovators, launching Soft Machine in 1966 with Robert Wyatt, Daevid Allen and Mike Ratledge. Later he performed as a solo artist working with noted European musicians like Syd Barrett, Mike Oldfield, Brian Eno, Lol Coxhill, Steve Hillage and John Cale. A recent Record Collector publication celebrating the 100 greatest psychedelic records describes Kevin and Syd Barrett as two of the genre's most important figures. Lured from his retreat in the South of France, Kevin is surrounded by a battaliaon of admirers both old and young on this, his first album in over fifteen years. The empathy these performers bring to this album has summoned a new voice and honesty in Kevin and the performances stand now amongst the strongest he has ever committed to plastic.

Jimmy Smith/Live at the Baby Grand Vol. 2 ....CD $12.99

Jazz organist Jimmy Smith's initial success was in the many urban inner city jazz clubs that dotted America in the 1950s.  Blue Note decided to venture out of New York and capture their unique new jazz star in his element at Club Baby Grand, Wilmington, Delaware on August 4, 1956.  Smith's trio, with Thornel Schwartz on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums, is smokin' and this revolutionary organist plays like a man possessed.  His 12 minute excursion on "The Preacher" (Vol. 1) and dazzling extended improvisation on "It's Alright with Me" (Vol. 2) are among the highlights of these two volumes.

One of the most influential and prolific hard rock bands of the 1980s, Killing Joke has endured countless label changes, fallings out and general mayhem since their formation in 1979.  With the core partnership of Jaz Coleman and Geordie Walker still intact and going stronger than ever, the band's legions of fans were saddened by the sudden death in October of bassist Paul Raven, which makes the release of this '80s reissues even more fitting a tribute.  These four albums highlight the band's most adventurous and commercially acclaimed periods with EG/Virgin Records.  All have been digitally remastered (and in the case of Brighter than a Thousand Suns has also had Chris Kimsey's original mixes restored).  Each album comes with an array of rare and unreleased bonus material, a must-have for collectors and fans alike.

"The song was actually Dave Stewart's idea, as a mini autobiographical travelogue: 'I was a sailor first?' and then, 'Liverpool I left you' - because I did. 'but I never let you down,' which is true."  The USB Wristband edition includes the full album, a personal video message from Ringo, interview footage, track by track commentary from Ringo, Ringtunes, photos and more!

Liverpool 8 is the brand new album from legendary artist Ringo Starr - his first new album with Capitol/EMI since 'Goodnight Vienna' in 1974. The single 'Liverpool 8' will be serviced to radio on November 30 and released on January 7, just ahead of the massive celebrations planned to launch the Liverpool City Of Culture profile, (usefully called 'Liverpool 08') at which Ringo will be the 'star' attraction. Liverpool 8 features 12 new tracks, written and produced by Ringo Starr and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), and "refers to the section of Liverpool where I used to live," explains Ringo. "The song was actually Dave Stewart's idea, as a mini autobiographical travelogue: 'I was a sailor first?' and then, 'Liverpool I left you' - because I did. 'but I never let you down,' which is true."  The USB Wristband edition includes the full album, a personal video message from Ringo, interview footage, track by track commentary from Ringo, Ringtunes, photos and more!

Tomorrow/Tomorrow ....CD $14.99

Tomorrow/Tomorrow ....CD $14.99

Digitally remastered and featuring 12 bonus tracks!  Tomorrow is remembered today mostly as the band guitarist Steve Howe played in before joining Yes. In fact, they were one of the finest British psychedelic groups of the late '60s. On their lone original release, Tomorrow purveys a blend of '60s psych-pop positioned somewhere between Barrett-era Floyd and the Beatles circa REVOLVER. They had melodic smarts aplenty, as evidenced by their hit "My White Bicycle," which sounds like a distant cousin of the Moody Blues' "Ride My See-Saw." From the characterizations of quirky English characters such as "Colonel Brown" to the use of backwards tapes, Eastern modalities, and baroque keyboard touches, TOMORROW hits all the right buttons of vintage psychedelia.

Hawkwind Man & Brinsley Schwarz/Greasy Truckers Party ....triple CD set $32.99

Hawkwind Man & Brinsley Schwarz/Greasy Truckers Party ....triple CD set $32.99

Digitally remastered and expanded three CD set featuring an extended version of this legendary 1972 concert experience that helped to catapult the careers of Man and Hawkwind. The Greasy Truckers Party took place at The Roundhouse, London on February 13th, 1972 in front of an audience of more than 2000. The party was seen as the final gathering of freaks, hippies and anarchists. The concert bill also featured the under-rated band Brinsley Schwarz (featuring Nick Lowe and future Rumour members Bob Andrews and Brinsley Schwarz), pioneers of the Pub Rock genre and freak extraordinaire Magic Michael. The concert was staged to raise funds for the Greasy Truckers organization, who raised funds for various local causes such as homelessness, advice on dealing with being busted for possession of cannabis and other mind altering substances and other social issues. Disc One features five tracks from Man. Disc Two features 16 from Brinsley Schwarz and one from Magic Michael. Disc Three contains 12 songs from Hawkwind. EMI.

During the early '70s, Lindisfarne was one of the hottest folk-based rock bands in England with chart placements on two of their albums that rivaled Jethro Tull and had them proclaimed one of the most important groups of the decade.  With a sound that mixed plaintive folk-like melodies, earthy but well-sung harmonies, and acoustic and electric textures, the group was signed to Tony Stratten-Smith's Charisma Records, England's premiere progressive rock label, in 1970.  They released their first album, Nicely Out of Tune, that same year.  Their debut album captured the group's best attributes, a rollicking, upbeat, optimistic collection of hippie-folk music, somewhere midway between Fairport Convention and the early Grateful Dead, with a peculiarly urban, English working-class ambience.  Founder and frontman Alan Hull was referred to in the UK press as the most important new songwriter since Bob Dylan and Lindisfarne was saddled with the designation as "the 1970s Beatles."  Their second album, Fog on the Tyne, released in 1971, marked their commercial breakthrough - a collection of earthy, folk-type pub songs, the album entered the British charts in October of the year and began a slow climb into the middle reaches.  In February of 1972, however, the group's label belatedly issued a single from the album, "Meet Me on the Corner."   That record was #5 on the charts the following month while Fog on the Tyne suddently rose to the #1 spot.  The Best of collection features their best known hits including "Fog on the Tyne," "Meet Me on the Corner," "Lady Eleanor" and All Fall Down."

Captain Beefheart/Doc at the Radar Station ....CD $14.99
Captain Beefheart/Ice Cream for Crow ....CD $14.99

Captain Beefheart/Doc at the Radar Station                Captain Beefheart/Ice Cream for Crow

Often called the Slavador Dali of Rock'n'roll, Captain Beefheart is a true American original.  He had a voice that's a cross between the blues bellow of Howlin' Wolf and the gruff posturing of Yosemite Sam (legend has it his voice once destroyed a $1200 Telefunken microphone), and he ran his Magic Band almost like a messianic cult.   Captain Beehfeart and The Magic Band produced a wildly original brew of rock, blues, psychedelia, jazz and punk influencing the likes of P.J. Harvey, Tom Waits, Public Image Ltd., Devo, the B-52s, and even The Simsons creator Matt Groening.  Sadly, after Ice Cream for Crow, his last album in 1982, he left music to concentrate on painting, turning into a virtual recluse, further building his legendary status as rock's most enigmatic genius.  You gotta love the Captain, who after hearing that U2's leader was looking for him to come out of retirement to tour and collaborate, responded with "Who is this Bongo?"  Now the two critically acclaimed, final Captain Beefheart albums have been painstakingly remastered and feature fascinating new liner notes by revered Captain Beefhear biographer, Mike Barnes.

BRIAN ENO
The Early Works

Brian Eno has been a founding member of Roxy Music, a collaborator with David Byrne, Robert Fripp, John Cale, Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, etc., and a ground-breaking producer for U-2 (The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and All That You Can't Leave Behind), David Bowie (Low, Heroes, Lodger), the Talking Heads (Fear Of Music, Remain In Light) and many others. Brian Eno's influence has been felt throughout some of the most unique and best selling albums of our time. His musical innovations have been so pervasive that no other artist can be cited as an inspiration to performers as diverse as Radiohead and Public Enemy.  Now, with Brian Eno's cooperation, Astralwerks is relaunching four of Eno's groundbreaking early works. Each CD will feature deluxe digipak packaging housed in a clear O-card and will have brand new digital transfers using the latest state-of-the art technology, using the original master tapes as the source!

Brian Eno/Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

Eno's second solo work continues the innovative music of Here Come The Warm Jets, but with a darker, multi-layered atmosphere. Guest musicians include Phil Manzanera, Robert Wyatt and Phil Collins.  "People who think of Eno solely in terms of the static, artsy instrumentals on David Bowie's 'Heroes' and 'Low' forget, or never knew, that on 'Here Come the Warm Jets' and 'Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy),' the master of Dadaist cybernetics also made some of the wittiest and most enjoyable music of our time. These records were supremely entertaining, in the best sense, and they were rock and roll" – ROLLING STONE

Brian Eno/Another Green World (Original Master) ....CD $14.99

Brian Eno/Another Green World

With Another Green World, electronics began to play a larger role in Eno's music, giving a glimpse of the ambient path he would later pursue.  Guest musicians include Phil Manzanera, Robert Wyatt, and Phil Collins.  "Another Green World proved to be a turning point not only in his career but in the evolution of rock music from primal force to art form." - MUSICIAN
"This is the album where Eno first came into his own as soundscraper and still feels, as the title suggest, like a 41 minute glimpse of a parallel universe, a musical Utopia." – MOJO

Brian Eno/Before and After Science (Original Master) ....CD $14.99

Brian Eno/Before and After Science

Brian Eno
Original Masters-The Soundtrack Series

He co-wrote with David Bowie on Low, Heroes and Lodger, was a founding member of Roxy Music, as well as the producer for U2, Talking Heads, Devo and many, many more.  In the mid '80's Eno moved away from the sparser sounds of his ambient albums, creating more melodic instrumental pieces like those that first appeared on Another Green World.   It is during this period that Brian Eno, together with Daniel Lanois, began his collaboration with U2 as their producer.  Each CD features deluxe digipak packaging housed in a clear O-card and will have brand new digital transfers using the latest state-of-the-art technology with Eno's original master tapes as the source.  The transfers from the original masters has been undertaken with great care by Simon Heyworth using 'Class A' analogue electronics combined with the best analogue to digital conversion.  No attempt has been made to re-equalize, remix or in any way tamper with or alter the original EQ'ed analogue production masters.  These are the Original Masters as Brian Eno intended them to be heard!

Four years after the release of Ambient 2:The Plateaux of Mirror, Brian Eno and Harold Budd returned to the studio and created album of breathtakingly quiet beauty called The Pearl with Brian Eno's electronics complimenting Harold Budd's sparse piano playing.   An album of ethereal beauty, the music of The Pearl provides as relaxing and compelling a listening experience as Eno's Ambient 1: Music For Airports which it most closely recalls.  Nearly two decades later The Pearl remains fresh and vital masterpiece of collaboration between two of music’s most revered artists.   "The Pearl is so ridiculously good it instantly shows up much of the mainstream new age as the gloopy schlock that it often is." - All Music Guide.

Of Gong's nearly 40 albums, Angel's Egg and You, recorded in the mid 70's for Richard Branson's then fledgeling Virgin Records label, are considered highpoints of the band's career as well as classics of 70's progressive rock.  Now these classics come digitally remastered from the original masters!  Each CD features previously unreleased bonus tracks and an expanded, illustrated booklet, all at a nice price!   Angel's Egg is the rock equivalent of a mad tea party with lyrics involving Pothead Pixies, Octave Doctors and Radio Gnomes; all set to Pierre Moerlen's tight and sophisticated drumming, Didier Malherbe's multicoloured sax and flute leads, Steve Hillage's cosmic guitar soloing and Daevid Allen's amusing vocals and glissando guitar layers.  Atmospheric, inscrutable and unhinged, You continues where Angel's Egg left off, blasting off into the stratospheric realms of acid-induced space rock.  Guitar wizard Steve Hillage takes a more prominent role on epic, jazz oriented tunes like the ten minute plus 'Isle of Everywhere' and the furious 'Master Builder.'

Peter Hammill/Nadir's Big Chance (remastered) ....CD $14.99

Peter Hammill/Nadir's Big Chance (remastered) ....CD $14.99

By the time Nadir's Big Chance was recorded, Van der Graaf had made the decision to reform (for Godbluff).  Hammill tried to steer well clear of Van der Graaf territory, creating an album that is said to have helped glavanize the burgeoning punk generation, including John Lydon (Public Image Ltd.) who cites Hammill as one of his inspirations.   This 1975 album has been digitally remastered with Hammill's participation and includes expanded liner notes.  "Representing a stylistic left turn for Peter Hammill, this raucous, messy, rock platter was often cited as an influence by the first wave of punks in England.  While essentially proving himself incapable of writing three-minute, three-chord rock & roll numbers, Hammill (taking on the guise of Rikki Nadir, i.e. dumb garage rocker) lays into his guitar with a vengeance, screaming out lyrics that are often unintelligible (the album did not come with a lyric sheet; this was the first Hammill album ever to make the listener depend upon the recording), while Guy Evans, Nic Potter, David Jackson and Hugh Banton thrash along behind him.  Among the treats are the title cut, "Birthday Special," the dolorous "Pompeii," and a remake of the early Van der Graaf Generator single "People You Were Going To."  Hammill would never let himself be this wild and hairy again." - All Music Guide

Four classic albums from progressive rock icon and Van der Graaf Generator founder Peter Hammill covering his prolific 1980's period.  All albums are digitally remastered with Hammill's involvement.  Sitting Targets - "...often overlooked because of its cold, very early '80s production, but it has yielded many classic songs that would grow out of their rather square studio arrangements and go on to provide fans with many memorable live moments."  The Love Songs - "This odd collection delves, seemingly at random, into the corpus of Peter Hammill songs that, inasmuch as they discuss the fraught path of romantic entanglements, can be construed as 'love songs' - although anybody picking up a copy as a Valentine's gift for his or her own significant other might well regret it.  And not only because the sentiments and emotions expressed are often a long way from love itself."  And Close as This - "Peter Hammill seems to alternate between releasing unpredictable work and his trademark style (straight-ahead arrangements for voice and one other instrument, usually guitar).  And Close as This would fall into the former category, since it's comprised exclusively of pure arrangements (in this case voice and keyboards).  It's hard not to be impressed by the emotion in Hammill's voice on the songs, 'Other Old Cliches' and 'Besides the One You Love' ...one of Hammill's finest."  Skin - "All but a reunion of Van der Graaf Generator in terms of personnel, and harkening to the latter-day spirit in terms of some of the tone.  Skin is nonetheless Peter Hammill continuing to declare his own direction minute by minute, rather than plotting overarching career goals.  There is more of a dependence on MIDI on this album, and a lot of obvious keyboard support, but the core human players come through loud an dclear, expecially Guy Evans on drums and David Jackson on saxes." ~ All Music Guide

One of England's longest enduring bands, Hawkwind was formed during the late '60s just as art-rock was coming into its own.  They combined bold guitar, synthesizer and mellotron sounds creating heavy metal music that seemed to cross paths with Chuck Berry and the Moody Blues without sounding like either of them.  At their best, their early records sounded like the Beatles of "Yer Blues" combined with the Cream of "I Feel Free."  The introduction of lyrices steeped in science fiction and drug effects on their second album helped define the group and separate them from the competition - in some ways they were like Pink Floyd with more of a rock & roll beat and a vengeance.  All albums are digitally remastered and now available at domestic prices.

One time member of Gong, Steve Hillage released seven studio and one live album in his time with Virgin between 1975 and 1982.  Playing an integral part in Gong's rise to prominence after joining in 1972, he pursued other music interests outside the band and, with these eight albums, proved to be as prolific as he was out-there.  A string of top 40 albums including the top 10 album 'L' cemented Hillage's place at the heart of the acid generation and to this day he is still making music, be it as producer, re-mixer or artist.  All re-issues feature re-mastered music and include a number of bonus tracks from the Hillage tape archives.  They are put together with Steve's co-operation, come packaged in jewel cases with linter notes written by prog expert Mark Powell and include photos and memorabilia from the Hillage archives.

(excerpt from 'Death of Samantha')
Download     Stream

Yes, I'm a Witch is an incredible new album from the controversial, outspoken and avant-garde Yoko Ono and is a collaboration with some of today's most exciting musicians.   Each artist was given the original master recordings from Ono's work.  The artists were given free reign on re-recording and re-imagining these tracks, using those elements they wished to retain - and adding whatever they desired.  The result is a freewheeling and inspiring set of songs - all held together and defined by the voice of Yoko Ono.  The set includes contributions from Porcupine Tree, The Flaming Lips, Cat Power, Anthony and the Johnsons, Apples in Stereo and more.  From the melancholic duet style of Ono & Cat Power, evoking the most luscious new version of 'Revelations' ever heard - to the droned out psych version of Spiritualized's 'Walking on Thin Ice,' these bands have crafted their own take on the original scream queen.

Terry Reid/Superlungs ....CD $14.99

Terry Reid/Superlungs

A mixture of metal, folk, blues and pure rock & roll, together with a fiery guitar attack and a set of superlungs that Mogo recently called 'one of the greatest voices in British Rock,' one could easily be referring to the mighty Led Zeppelin, but that description is reserved for just one man, Terry Reid, an artist whose immense vocal and songwriting talents led him to be Jimmy Page's first choice as lead singer in Led Zeppelin.  Forced to turn down Page's offer due to a contractual impasse, Reid quietly became the unsung architect of Led Zeppeling by leading page to both Robert Plant and John Bonham.  Now Superlungs presents 17 tracks that showcase the power of Terry Reid's vocal performance (comparable to the vocals Robert Plant would record for Led Zeppelin several months later) as well as his bristling guitar work, all the more jaw-dropping for having been neglected all these years.  Features classic tracks taken from Terry Reid's two Billboard charting albums as well as several never before released tracks.

"After a four year absence (in which Peter Hammill released a number of solo albums) Van der Graaf Generator reformed in 1975 to record this masterpiece.   Godbluff captures the band at their peak with a mature lyrical contribution from Hammill combined with the musical pyrotechincs of which the band was capable.  The combined inspiration of the four musicians creates a synergy that elevates this head and shoulders above any other VdGG release, even Pawnhearts" - progreviews.com     Includes two bonus tracks.
