Gentle Giant was born out of the ashes of Simon Dupree & the Big Sound, a successful UK based rock and R&B outfit led by brothers Derek, Ray and Phil Shulman. Their biggest hit, Kites, is still remembered fondly even today. In 1970 the brothers Shulman founded Gentle Giant. Derek was the lead vocalist and played alto sax and bass, Ray sand and played bass and violin, and Phil handled the saxophone and added vocals. Kerry Minnear, the keyboardist, was recurited after graduation from Royal Academy of Music with a degree in composition. Gary Green became the guitarist despite his blues-based background. Their original lineup also featured Martin Smith on drums, then Malcome Mortimore and eventually John Weathers in 1972, who became the mainstay in their 10 years of existence. Phil left in 1972 leaving the classic 5-piece line-up featured on these recordings. Gentle Giant's utilization of complex classical chord and time patterns, together with hard rock, blues, jazz and even medieval melodies and themes set them apart from any other 'progressive' group of their time or any subsequent era. In a Glass House, The Power & the Glory and Free Hand are the first in a series of scheduled releases for 2010. These albums are fully remastered from the original 1/4 inch tapes.
King Crimson/In the Court of the Crimson King ....CD + DVD-Audio $21.99
Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald, Greg Lake, Michael Giles & Peter Sinfield. In the Court of the Crimson King is one of the most revered rock albums of all time. It is the only studio document of an extraordinary year in the life of King Crimson; beginning with the group's first rehearsals on January 13th, 1969, including a residency at the Marquee Club, a concert in Hyde Park with The Rolling Stones, the recording and release of the album and ending with the dissolution of the lineup at the close of Crimson's 1st American tour in December. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), with Crimson founder Robert Fripp, and also includes a completely new stereo mix from the original multitrack tapes. CD features 5 additional tracks from the original recording sessions: 'Moonchild' 2009 mix full version; 'I Talk to the Wind' Duo version; 'I Talk to the Wind' Alternate Mix; 'Epitaph' Backing track; 'Wind Session' from original session recordings. DVD-A (plays on all DVD players & DVD Rom players) features a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz) and features 10 additional tracks drawn from the original recording sessions, all previously unreleased in Lossless Audio & High Resolution stereo. Features short performance footage of classic Hyde Park performance of '21st Century Schizoid Man' with original audio from the show. Presented as a 2 x digipack format in a slipcase with new sleeve notes by Robert Fripp & King Crimson biographer Sid Smith along with rare photos & archive material.
King Crimson/Lizard ....CD + DVD-Audio $21.99
Robert Fripp, Mel Collins, Gordon Haskell, Andy McCulloch, Peter Sinfield with guests Robin Miller, Mark Charig, Nick Evans, Keith Tippett and Jon Anderson. Lizard is the third release in the King Crimson 40th anniversary series and was, like its predecessor In the Wake of Poseidon, the product of a studio band. Lizard featured a lighter, more delicate sound than the earlier albums. The expanded range of instruments allowed for intricately interwoven instrumental passages and this combination, along with the prominence afforded to Mel Collins & the guest players led some to believe that Fripp was guiding Crimson towards the world of jazz & away from rock altogether. But such claims were misguided. Crimson was, as ever, seeking to expand the vocabulary of rock music & Lizard was, in some ways, the band's most ambitious album to date. Lizard remains a fascinating, intriguing album – an album only a band called King Crimson could make – even if it was a very different King Crimson to that which had gone before or would come after. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) & is fully approved by Crimson founder Robert Fripp. CD features a completely new stereo album mix by Robert Fripp & Steven Wilson and also features 3 extra tracks, 2 previously unreleased, including a new alternate mix of 'Lady of the Dancing Water' by Steven Wilson, the long unavailable 'Bolero' remix with Tony Levin on bass (from Frame by Frame) & a studio run through of 'Cirkus' from the original recording sessions. DVD-A (plays on all DVD players & DVD Rom players) features a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz) and also features the three bonus tracks in High Resolution Stereo. Presented as a 2 x digipack format in a slipcase with new sleeve notes by Robert Fripp & King Crimson biographer Sid Smith along with rare photos & archive material.
David Cross & Andrew Keeling/English Sun ....import CD $19.99
David Cross pioneered the electric violin in the groundbreaking King Crimson and has continued to push back the boundaries of the instrument in rock (David Cross Band) and improvised music (solo and in collaborations) performing and recording in Europe and Japan. Andrew Keeling has written music for Opus 20, Het Trio, The Hilliard Ensemble, The Apollo Saxophone Quartet, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Evelyn Glennie, The Goldberg Ensemble, Fretwork, Virelai, Gothic Voices, Jacob Heringman, Matthew Wadsworth, Catherine King, Steven Wray and many others. He is the author of A Musical Guide to In the Court of the Crimson King (and plans to follow that up with A Musical Guide to Larks' Tongues in Aspic) and is an inspiring flautist. In English Sun, Cross and Keeling have created a beautiful, contemporary album inspired by their shared immersion in rock and western art music. The tracks are distinctive, ranging from the brittle, wind swept landscape of 'High Scree' to the deep baroque drama of 'Dido.' This is new music by anybody's standard and it extends and further defines the meaning of Electric Chamber Music.
Hugh Banton/Gustav Holst's The Planets ....import CD $17.99
"The Planets," most generally knownn as an orchestral suite, was originally composed by Holst as a piano duet, with the exception of the final section, "Neptune, the Mystic," which he wrote as an organ piece. There is very little missing from the final orchestral version that was not already firmly defined in the four hands of the original piano arrangement, which Hugh Banton has transcribed as a complete organ performance, using the original orchestration as a guide to stop selection and dynamics. Principally known in public as organist for Van der Graaf Generator, Hugh is a designer and builder of digital church organs. This is his second release from the classical repertoire played on organ, following his recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations.
Mike Keneally/Scambot 1 ....CD $15.99
(excerpt from 'Life's Too Small')
Calling the first volume of Mike Keneally's Scambot trilogy "ambitious" might be understating things a bit. For five years Mike held it close to his heart as his main project, employing nine engineers and many musicians at six studios. "We devoted intense energy to every second of the album," says Mike. "There is a plot, and a bunch of characters. The CD booklet contains a very long story I wrote which lays out all of the action. Musically speaking, it's about two-thirds instrumental. It encompasses a little bit of straightforward-ish rock and pop, a lot of rigorous composition and arrangement, some obsessively intricate vocal and instrumental harmonies, some improvisation which has been orchestrated, some digitally-manipulated musique concrete, some purely uncategorizable stuff and, I think, some of the most interesting melodies I've come up with. It is a peculiar album but I think very satisfying as a journey, and emotionally it hits a lot of different moods." And here's another clue for you all: Scambot 1, Mike adds, is "dedicated to anyone who still listens to entire albums with their headphones on."
Mike Keneally/Scambot 1 (Special Edition) ....double CD $29.99
(excerpt from 'Tomorrow (Karaoke Mix)')
The Scambot 1 Special Edition includes the complete Scambot 1 CD, plus a second 53-minute CD crafted by Mike entitled Songs & Stories Inspired by Scambot 1, all packaged in an attractive Atticus Wolrab-designed slipcover made of genuine cardboard. This Special Edition is made even more special because Mike is individually numbering and signing the first 3000 copies! Here's what Mike has to say about Songs & Stories Inspired by Scambot 1: "This is a very uncompromising album, with a lot of guitar improvisation, demanding sonorities, alien vocal textures, truly insane song structure and many crucial pieces of the Scambot plot continuity. Plus a very entertaining credit sequence. If you are intrigued by the conceptual world of Scambot, it's heavily advisable to hear both albums." The great majority of the music on Songs & Stories Inspired by Scambot 1 is unique to it; three of the pieces are remixes of songs from Scambot 1, plus one demo.
Synergy/Audion ....import CD $18.99
(excerpt from 'Terminal Hotel')
Audion was the fifth album to come from Synergy and was originally released in 1981. It was the follow up album to Games although this album has a more rock feel than the structured feel of the previous album. The album contains ten tracks although again no guitars are present on this recording. Tracks include Orbit Five, Electric Blue and An End To History and with all the albums in this series of re issues has been re mastered and contains sleeve notes by Larry Fast. This issue of Audion contains an exclusive bonus track of a 1976 demo of After the Earthquake. This edition, which originally came out in 2004, has been unavailable for some years now, but is finally back in print!
Nic Potter/Dreams in View '81-'87 ....import CD $18.99
Nic Potter is probably best known for his work with the British rock band Van Der Graaf Generator. Initially however Nic played in a band called The Misunderstood along with Guy Evans who would also join Van Der Graaf Generator. Nic joined Van Der Graaf Generator in 1969 and recorded the album The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other and recorded part of the next album H To He, Who Am The Only One before leaving. He was however to return to the band later in the seventies and played on two more albums from the band, the studio album The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome and the live album Vital before the band split. In between times and of course beyond his final stint with Van Der Graaf Generator Nic Potter has had an extensive solo career recording a number of solo albums and for a short period in the early to mid eighties was a member of Peter Hammill's band The K Group.
3rd World Electric/Kilimanjaro Secret Brew ....import CD $17.99
(excerpt from 'Tin Can Robots')
The idea started in the summer of 2008 when bassist Jonas Reingold and guitarist Roine Stolt got together to develop some ideas that were under the unfashionable label of 'fusion.' For those of you not familiar with the phrase or are too young to remember the wild & vivid '70s of bellbottom denims, Shure SM 58 haircuts, Rhodes pianos with fuzz, ringmodulators and drumkits bigger than a schoolbus, it's a musicform that fuses jazz, rock, African, electronics, folk or any other cool music form known to man or animal. The bands that were at the forefront some 30 years ago were the masters - Weather Report, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, Billy Cobham & George Duke Band, etc. They were known to play faster than the NASDAQ drops and were all fearsome gunslingers, but by the late '70s a lethal cocktail of record company greed, lounge jazz, synthpop with lame haircuts and the deadly Linndrum made them all less popular or, in some cases, obsolete. But as you might expect, they just went away from the mainstream & the limelight because the media and corporate music-biz lawyers couldn't see any 'commercial potential' in it anymore. Anyway, to carry on...when our 2 heroes Reingold & Stolt, of a considerable later vintage, decided to break some new ground, it all started with Stolt playing a few tunes he considered to be his tribute to the late great Joe Zawinul to Mr. Reingold. Within hours the duo had jumpstarted to arrange these and some of Jonas' material. Hey, this sounded fresh and up to date, fusion wasn't dead, what a relief, time to restore the Rhodes piano and the royal phasers!! The intention of this new combo was to explore a more rootsy "with a bit of grit" fusion and far from the easy listening or smooth jazz of later years. We hope to bring you a funkier African sound, more as if Jimi Hendris Band of Gypsies and early Weather Report or Headunters had a lovechild. Ably assisting our duo are Zoltan Csorz, Dave Weckl, Ayi Solomon, Lalle Larsson and Karl-Martin Almovist. Ready to groove?
Tomas Bodin's Eggs & Dogs/You Are ....import CD $17.99
(excerpt from 'Private Skies')
Eggs & Dogs is the new band project of the brilliant Flower Kings keyboardist Tomas Bodin. Not to be missed for lovers of good progressive music! The album contains 7 songs and clocks in around 77 minutes. Michael Stolt: Lead Vocals/Electric Basses; Jocke 'JJ' Marsh: Electric/acoustic 6&12 string guitars, lead guitars; Marcus Lilijequist: Drums/Percussion; Tomas Bodin: Keyboards, percussion, kazoo, backing vocals, fx voices, vocoder. Lyrics & music, arrangements, mix by Tomas Bodin Drums recorded at Jonas Reingold Studios.
douBt/Never Pet A Burning Dog ....CD $13.99
Featuring Alex Maguire (Fender Rhodes el. piano, Hammond organ, Mellotron, synth), Michel Delville (electric guitar, Roland GR-09), Tony Bianco (drums) with special guest Richard Sinclair (vocals (1, 5) and electric bass (1, 2) ). With moods and registers ranging from heavy-rock riffs to cosmic grooves and on to more lyrical and pastoral flavors, douBt's debut release, "Never Pet a Burning Dog," sound like nothing less than the missing link between Sun Ra, John Zorn's Masada, vintage Terje Rypdal, Sonic Youth and Ennio Morricone. The record also features guest contributions from Canterbury legend Richard Sinclair on vocals and bass. The sheer body of sound produced by the trio is amazing in its intensity and magnitude. As for the state of collaboration, cooperation and complicity between the members of the group, it packs a shock, especially if one knows that this CD consists exclusively of first takes recorded live in the studio. As for the vocals provided by Richard Sinclair, they confer to this disc a refreshingly paradoxical quality which bridges the gap between free improvisation and experimental songwriting, complexity and directness, as exemplified by the psychedelic bossa-nova "Passing Cloud" and the opening "Corale di San Luca", which unexpectedly leads into the polyrhythmic orgy of "Laughter" before the trio takes us into an unusual revisitation of Terje Rypdal's "Over Birkerot." Despite its being rooted in the traditions that have inspired the respective careers of Bianco, Delville and Maguire, "Never Pet a Burning Dog" is one of the most forward looking electric jazz albums released in a long time and sounds like nothing before. It is an ambitious yet eminently accessible release as this experimental power trio never loses sight of grooves and catchy melodies.
Iron Kim Style/Iron Kim Style ....CD $13.99
(excerpt from 'Mean Streets of Pyongyang')
Enthusiasts of critically acclaimed dark progressive band Moraine will welcome Iron Kim Style, a related project in a completely different but equally compelling musical vein. Iron Kim Style is an explosive Seattle-based jazz-rock improv quintet featuring Moraine's Dennis Rea (6-string electric guitar) and Jay Jaskot (drums) alongside Bill Jones (trumpet), Thaddaeus Brophy (12-string electric guitar), and Ryan Berg (electric bass). Drawing on influences as diverse as Olivier Messiaen, electric-period Miles Davis, Terje Rypdal, John Abercrombie, heavy rock, and North Korean martial music, Iron Kim Style conjures spontaneous sonic epics that encompass everything from stomping grooves to grinding noise to passages of eerie beauty. Named after the acrobatic martial arts approach espoused by Grandmaster "Iron" Kim, and taking playful aim at deranged North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, Iron Kim Style's eponymously titled debut CD is a totally improvised outing that stands in stark contrast to most specimens of the free-improv genre. The quintet has no purist axes to grind here but gleefully blends structure and abstraction, lyrical melodies and scalding noise, wicked funk and weightless balladry, jazz phrasing and bracing experimentalism into a rich and meaty sonic stew. The resulting music frequently sounds as if it were composed, due to the finely tuned listening skills of the participants after years of collective music-making.
Beppe Crovella/What's Rattlin' On The Moon? - The Music of Mike Ratledge ....CD $13.99
(excerpt from 'Slightly All the Time')
With his brilliant new MoonJune Records release What's Rattlin' on the Moon, veteran progressive musician Beppe Crovella (Arti e Mestieri) delivers a heartfelt and long-overdue appreciation of one of the defining voices of the jazz-rock idiom, Soft Machine keyboard player and composer Mike Ratledge. More than any of his more widely recognized former bandmates, it was Ratledge who was truly the heart and soul of Soft Machine, his instantly identifiable sound and forceful, incandescent soloing providing the thread of continuity throughout most of the band's many incarnations. At a time when many progressive rock keyboardists were surrounding themselves with ever more elaborate arrays of futuristic, often sterile-sounding keyboard instruments, Ratledge managed to produce music of arguably greater depth and vitality armed primarily with an inexpensive modified Lowrey organ and a Rhodes electric piano. His signature overdriven organ gave even guitarists like Jimi Hendrix a run for their money and flattened many an unsuspecting concertgoer. Ratledge also contributed a number of the group's most enduring compositions in "Slightly All the Time," "Out-Bloody-Rageous," "Esther's Nose Job," and "Chloe and the Pirates." Sadly for many Soft Machine enthusiasts, Ratledge has been little seen since he left the band in 1976 - all the more reason to celebrate the release of What's Rattlin' on the Moon, on which Crovella breathes new life into a choice selection of classic Ratledge compositions while adding a number of exemplary Softs-inspired tunes of his own. No mere nostalgic re-creation of the Soft Machine oeuvre, What’s Rattlin' presents a fresh and bracing take on Ratledge's singular music through novel arrangements and the use of vintage keyboards not normally associated with the Softs, such as (intriguingly) the Mellotron. Beppe plays Mellotron, Fender Rhodes Stage 73 electric piano, Wurlitzer E200 electric piano, Hohner electric piano, Hohner Clavinet D6, Rosler Grand Piano, Hammond Organ M102, Farifsa Professional (neither analog or digital synthesizers, or other digital keyboards were used on this recording).
Glass Hammer/Three Cheers for the Broken Heart ....CD $13.99
2009's release "Three Cheers For The Broken-Hearted" reveals a leaner, tighter Glass Hammer; with Steve Babb and Fred Schendel once more handling nearly all of the instrumentation and one hundred percent of the writing and production. Still, Glass Hammer alum Susie Bogdanowicz finds herself squarely in the spot light as the solo-vocalist on seven of the album's eleven tracks. From song to song, the dynamics are clear and present. "Three Cheers For The Broken-Hearted" features melancholy ballads, psychedelic influenced rockers and even head-banging metal tracks; all firmly based on the band's progressive rock style. While not a concept album in the traditional sense, the new album's lyrics still carry a theme throughout. The new release shows the more cynical, darker side of Glass Hammer – a band usually noted for its optimism. "It's still there," says GH co-founder Steve Babb. "But only revealed in places; certainly harder to find than in lyrics from earlier albums. But while this album has given us a needed break from the out-right storytelling we usually attempt, when taken as a whole, 'Three Cheers' starts in a pretty dark place, then gradually leads you back home again. Even without the time-honored concept, our fans will definitely still find themselves on a journey."
Glass Hammer/The Compilations ....CD $13.99
A rare collection of Glass Hammer music never before included on an official Glass Hammer recording. All tracks included on The Compilations, 1996 to 2004 either never made their way to an official album, were recorded for tribute albums, or were part of compilation projects that included many prog artists. Originally released in a card-board sleeve with a limited pressing of only 1,000 copies - "The Compilations" has been out-of-print for well over a year. Back in stock now (in a standard jewel-case), and timed to release along with the new studio album "Three Cheers For The Broken-Hearted," "The Compilations" is a must-have for fans of Glass Hammer. Featuring the twenty-one minute epic, "In The Court Of Alkinoos," a cover of the Camel classic "Air Born," and performances by former Glass Hammer members such as Walter Moore, David Carter along with Fred Schendel, Steve Babb, Susie Bogdanowicz and The Adonia String Trio; fans of symphonic prog will find plenty to enjoy on this re-release of "The Compilations." Includes Time Marches On (Live), Air Born, The Narrow Way, The Morning Song, Heroes and Dragons (Symphonic), In The Court Of Alkinoos, Bonus Track - Through The Glass Darkly (Live).
Vonassi/The Battle Of Ego ....CD $14.99
Born out of Chicago, IL in Fall of 2007, Vonassi began their first EP project as a musical experiment and exploration of their writing talents. It was apparent after that successful trial that a full album was essential and forthcoming. As that full album project unfolded, Vonassi added a permanent third member - Chase Carter. "The Battle of Ego" is a powerful and ambitious statement of progressive rock music. It delivers a bombast of exciting textures, driving dynamics, expressive vocal melodies, and adventurous rhythmic changes that take a listener on a musical journey. Personnel: Chase Carter (vocals); Jeff Vaughn (guitars, keyboards, drums, background vocals); Vince Buonassi (guitars, keyboards).
Echoes/Nature Existence ....CD $14.99
Echoes has been an oddity right from the start, in a country where latin rhythms dominate and radio friendly pop/rock has just found its sound footing, metal, prog and electronica still are regarded as odd genres to play. Nature Existence, Echoes' first album, is a mixture of prog-rock, math metal with some post-rock, pop and industrial electronica thrown in. With special guests including the Anechoic Chamber String Quartet, Nature Existence tells a story of love found and lost over the cyclical nature of life where epilogues are where new experiences begin and breakups are a prologue to life.
Michael Gill/Blues For Lazarus ....CD $14.99
An engaging, energetic, and evocative debut solo project. With an array of great players from both Northern and Southern California, "Blues for Lazarus" showcases Gill's composing, arranging, and keyboard skills. About half of the CD is devoted to creative musical interpretations of favorite Speculative Fiction novels including Robert A. Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love," Mary Stewart's "The Hollow Hills," William Gibson's "Neuromancer," and Frank Herbert's "Dune."
Sun Ra/The Antique Blacks ....CD $17.99
Another much sought after and long unavailable title recorded in 1974 with a smallish ensemble consisting (probably) of stalwarts Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, Danny David, James Jacson, Akh Tal Ebah, Clifford Jarvis, Artakatune, and a new electric guitarist, Sly, and released on Saturn in the same year. This sounds like a studio recording and careful thought out - most of the compositions appear only on this record (apart from versions of Nature's God and Space is the Place), and include a chain of very interesting accompanied /interpolated) spoken texts: There is a Change in the Air, The Antique Blacks, The ridiculous "I" and the Cosmos "Me" as well as a very long and scary coda to Space is the Place. Ra plays Rocksichord and Moog throughout (solo on track 7 and at the end of track 8). Theatrical and political; a fascinating release.
The Necks/Silverwater ....CD $16.99
Their first studio CD for three years - named after an industrial suburb in Sydney - famous mainly for its correctional facility - Silverwater ranges further and wider than the Necks' former releases, exploring a more sectional structure that counterposes extremes and contrasts, and possesses a greater sense of forward motion than we are accustomed to with this most economical of bands - though it still retains the long, hypnotic single-track iterative form for which they have been praised. Layers and skeins of overdubs and shifting textures give way to almost empty stretches as the piece evolves, and there is much play with asynchronous time. Paradoxically, for a band renowned for its slow, cycling, repetitions, the Necks show again that they are a band who try constantly not to repeat themselves.
Peter Gabriel/Scratch My Back ....CD $15.99
Peter Gabriel/Scratch My Back (Deluxe Edition) ....$18.99
Peter Gabriel's 'Scratch My Back' album project is the first part of a series of song exchanges in which Gabriel and other leading artists reinterpret each other's songs. To help craft his recording of the album's eclectic array of cult favorites and classic tracks, Gabriel enlisted former Durutti Column member John Metcalfe, composer, arranger and the expertise of producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd's 'The Wall,' Lou Reed's 'Berlin') and engineer, mixer and producer Tchad Blake (Suzanne Vega, Sheryl Crow, Tom Waits). Gabriel describes this as a very personal record with twelve songs performed only with orchestral instruments and voice. He made the choice not to include guitar or drums. The album's richly diverse sounds include the sparse romance of Lou Reed's 'The Power of the Heart,' the powerful musical journey of David Bowie's 'Heroes' and an epic arrangement of Arcade Fire's 'My Body Is A Cage.' Gabriel and his collaborators recorded the album at George Martin's Air Lyndhurst Studios and the Real World Temple with further editing and mixing at his own Real Worlds Studio in Wiltshire. The 'Scratch My Back' release is one of the most creative and engaging records from an iconic artist in a long time. Other composers on this album include Paul Simon, Talking Heads, Randy Newman, Neil Young, Radiohead and more. The Deluxe Edition features four bonus tracks/remixes: 1. The Book Of Love (Remix), 2. My Body Is A Cage (Oxford London Temple Version), 3. Waterloo Sunset (The Kinks) (Oxford London Temple Version), 4. Heroes (Wildebeest Mix).
The Beatles/All Together Now ....DVD $18.99
All Together Now details the story behind the unique partnership between The Beatles & Cirque du Soleil that resulted in the creation & launch of "LOVE," the stage production still wowing audiences at The Mirage in Las Vegas, & the double Grammy-winning album of the same name. All Together Now includes in depth interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison and George Martin. Over 2.5M people have attended the Las Vegas show & an additional 1.8M have purchased the LOVE CD. Total running time of 122 minutes featuring the 84-minute documentary film plus bonus features. DVD presented in DTS & Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround & Dolby Digital Stereo. TRACK LISTING: 1 All Together Now documentary (84:00); 2 Changing The Music (22:00) A behind-the-scenes look at the decisionmaking process for the "LOVE" concept and music production; 3 Music In The Theatre (07:00) A look at the process of creating the "LOVE" show's unique audio design; 4 Making "LOVE" (09:00) A backstage pass to explore the design of "LOVE," including the art direction, costumes, props, screen imagery and the use of The Beatles' voices in the "LOVE" stage production and its soundtrack

Van Der Graaf Generator/Now And Then ....CD $13.99
This album is a unique glimpse into the musical world of these highly inventive and talented musicians. A strange hybrid of full on Van Der Graaf Generator tracks and some curious instrumental tracks by Jackson: Banton & Evans, it is a challenging and though provoking collection of material circa 1972-1975. Track Listing: 1. Saigon Roulette (Jackson, Banton, Evans), 2. The Liquidator (Van Der Graaf Generator), 3. Gentlemen Prefer Blues (Jackson, Banton, Evans), 4.

Gong/The History And Mystery Of The Planet Gong ....CD $13.99

Gongmaison/Gongmaison ....CD $13.99
Recorded in 1989 this was the first new 'Gong' named band after a ten-year gap. Featuring Daevid Allen, Didier Malherbe and Mother Gong's Harry Williamson, the album is a gently amped-up re-introduction to the Planet Gong, Flying Teapots and celebratory pixies within. Featuring Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Hari Williamson.
Mother Gong/Wild Child ....CD $13.99
Recorded in 1991 this special reissue features three bonus tracks from the highly regarded band. It is considered one of the band's definitive recordings displaying their time-honored and respected jazzy space rock.
Mother Gong/The Owl & The Tree ....CD $13.99
Originally released on vinyl in 1990, The Owl & The Tree features one side by Mother Gong and the other by Daevid Allen. Recorded at the same time as Australia Aquaria, it has a similar tone but a stronger presence due to Mothergong's jazz-based rock. The intelligently melodic music dominates and makes this a must have for fans. Includes a bonus track not available on the original release.
Daevid Allen/Australia Aquaria + She ....CD $13.99

 |
 |
Classic Can releases available on standard CD again for the first time in years. Previously only available on SACD. From radically different musical backgrounds, Can's members brought the vital elements of rock, funk and the avant-garde together in such an intense and innovative way (music like this just didn't exist before) that their music has a startling presence and immediacy. Somehow it remains accessible but never shallow. Engaging and free of any pretence whatsoever, Can's music remains as fresh and timeless as when it was first made. Although recorded in the late '60s, the material included on Can's Delay...1968 did not appear commercially until 1981. A collection of cuts featuring early vocalist Malcolm Mooney, these seven songs are among the very first Can tunes ever recorded. Expanding upon 1974's Limited Edition which was limited to 15,000 copies, the release contained previously unreleased tracks from Can's history from 1968 through 1976, when Unlimited Edition was released.

Pat Metheny/Orchestrion ....CD $16.99
Grammy Award-winning composer-guitarist Pat Metheny's Orchestrion may turn out to be his most talked-about, argued-over undertaking. It's already his most adventurous. With Orchestrion, Metheny redefines the concept of the solo album. He is indeed the only live musician on this recording, but it's the opposite of, say, his 2003 One Quiet Night, in which Metheny hunkered down in his home studio to explore all the musical possibilities of one new guitar. Here he works with an extraordinary set-up of acoustic instruments, assembled for him by a visionary team of inventors. What they have created in collaboration with Metheny is a veritable made-to-order solenoid orchestra that includes, among other things, bass, pianos, percussion, marimbas, "guitar-bots," and a mellifluous cabinet of carefully tuned bottles. Using one-of-a-kind software programs and solenoid switches, Metheny controls each instrument via his guitar and an array of pedals. Orchestrion was influenced by the primitive but evocative player-piano technology of yesteryear that has fascinated Metheny since he was a child. The player piano inspired inventors of that age to create the "orchestrion," a large mechanical multi-instrument device that imitated the sound of an orchestra. Metheny brings this concept into the 21st century, composing and playing five ambitious pieces with his tailor-made, sophisticated, musically dynamic ensemble. "Orchestrionics" is what Metheny calls this new method of performing. The resulting album, recorded in midtown Manhattan's MSR studio after months of experimentation at home, is a marvel of the digital era, yet the record sounds beautifully, stirringly, human. In other words, timeless.

Yes/Rock of the 70s ....import DVD $18.99
In September 1970 YES were invited by Belgian Television to make a film featuring selections from their current album Time and A Word that had been released in July. The band would be seen in many situations around Belgium performing or more precisely miming to tracks from the album Time and A Word. As Steve Howe had just joined the band he had to mime his guitar to the tracks already recorded by Peter Banks. Interspersed with off the wall interludes by various members of the band the filming was presented as a television special between September the 1st and 4th before they played the Huy Festival in Belgium on the 5th of September. Four tracks were performed for the cameras including Astral Traveller, Everyday’s, Then and No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed. Following on from these TV performances YES would finally break through with their third album The Yes album recorded in December 1970 and released in January 1971. Following more changes in line up Rick Wakeman replaced Tony Kaye. The band went to even greater success during the seventies with albums such as Fragile, Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans and on through the Eighties with albums such as 90125 and Big Generator. In 2001 YES even returned to the format of recording an album with an orchestra. The result, Magnification, proved to be hugely successful thirty one years on from the band's first tentative experiment with a full orchestra on Time And A Word. Despite short periods of inactivity and a great many changes in personnel which has seen Chris Squire as the only constant in the band's history, YES has weathered the storms of fashion and commercial whims so as to release close on twenty studio albums and various of live albums in the period 1968-2008. YES have also remained hugely popular in the live arena and are still able to fill some of the largest venues worldwide to audiences both young and old. The performances featured on this DVD demonstrate the beginnings of that journey and the creativity of a band that has been so influential in the development of a genre that has defied time and generations so as to become the soundtrack and vision in so many lives.
Frank Zappa/Frank Zappa's 200 Motels ....import DVD $27.99
|
|
Remastered from the original video tapes. Full project co-ordinated by original Director Tony Palmer. Includes extensive booklet with sleeve notes by Tony Palmer and a specially recorded Director's commentary track giving insights, wisdom and amusing anecdotes. "I’ve read so much rubbish about 200 Motels over the years that the release of the newly restored film on DVD gives me an opportunity - my first - to correct one or two of the wilder stories about how the film came about and what really happened during the filming. Apparently – according to a Dutch documentary – when I had quit (which is news to me), I had threatened to wipe the tapes – which is odd, considering I edited all the videotapes myself after completion of filming before handing them over to MGM/UA. And, crazy though the film seems to be, it does have a certain insight into how 'life on the road' was for many of these rock bands at that time. The fact is also that, here we are, nearly 40 years later, and there is still a huge market/interest for the film. Oh, and by the way, according to several websites devoted to the film, because I had 'been fired' and/or 'quit' (delete whichever you think is applicable) I went off and destroyed the master tapes – which is very odd considering that these very same master tapes are sitting in front of me as I write. And finally, that as a result of any of the above (you choose which), Frank & I 'never spoke again.' Which is even odder, because a couple of years later when Zappa sued the Royal Albert Hall in London for cancelling a concert in which he had intended to perform the music from 200 Motels, I appeared at the trial in The Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand as Frank Zappa's 'expert witness.' Would Zappa have wanted that had we not stayed friends? So, forty years on, I’m proud to be associated with the film, proud to have known Frank Zappa, and proud to have stayed his friend, in spite of all the rubbish that others have written about what 'really' happened. It's impossible not to have a sneaking admiration for a film which self evidently would never have been made had it not been for him and his curious talent." ~ Tony Palmer
Doug Boyle/The Third Rail ....import CD $18.99
Doug Boyle's first solo album is a celebration of what he has learnt from a life immersed in music. First coming to prominence as guitarist with Robert Plant's band for many years, Boyle has played Zeppelin with their singer, Bach, Hendrix and Duke Ellington with violinist Nigel Kennedy as well as joining the resurgent Caravan. Countless tours and albums with these artists has honed his skills and sensibilities, resulting in his definitive statement of music without boundaries. The Third rail. Apart from his trademark soaring and emotional guitar voice, the album reveals Boyle's assets as a composer, arranger and producer. The music ranges from out and out agression to pastoral tranquility, melodic and harmonic sophistication to pure childlike simplicity and all points between. Joining him on his quest for an authenticly human expression are musicians such as the legendary Jimmy Hastings, Dave Sinclair and the late great, Pip Pyle. All were given space to stretch out in a manner not heard for decades and are heard here in thrillingly magical form. The Third Rail is a passionate statement of musical intent in it's purest state. Unfettered by genre, this album is nothing less than an evocation of every colour in the rainbow of human emotion and experience. Uncommonly original, this is a proud statement from a man with a belief in the uniquely transcendent qualities of music.
Ginger Baker and Friends/Live at the Jazz Cafe London 2009 ....import DVD $27.99
In August 2009, legendary rock drummer Ginger Baker (of Graham Bond Organisation, Cream, Blind Faith, Airforce, Baker-Gurvitz Army et al) miraculously reached his 70th Birthday. In October he also published his long awaited autobiography 'Hellraiser,' a book that for various reasons has taken him over twenty-years to complete. To coincide with these two momentous events a 'gig with special friends' was held at London's Jazz Cafe on 4th November 2009. This CD & DVD commemorates this historic and prestigious event and invites you to share the music and atmosphere of the venue. Ginger demonstrates his musical fluidity & prowess with a range of numbers spanning the back catalogue of his phenomenal career. He is helped in this by guitarist/singer Chris Goss (Masters of Reality), bassist extraordinaire Jonas Helborg, percussionist Dodoo Abass, world renowned saxophonist Peter King, along with Ginger's daughter Leda Baker (Rubella Ballet/various) on guitar/backing vocals. For the last two numbers Ginger is joined by his 'surprise' guest & very 'special' friend Steve Winwood in a moving reconciliation that sees them play two show-stopping Blind Faith numbers and rewinds time to when they last played together in Ginger Bakers Airforce in 1970. The night keeps its intimate feel as it is introduced by Ginger's granddaughter Zara, Ginger includes the audience throughout, taking them on a journey through his musical discovery and finally Steve Winwood leads everyone through a chorus of 'Happy Birthday' before launching into his brilliant song 'Can't Find My Way Home.' Paradoxically, they have found their 'way home,' back to their musical heyday and a balmy day in Hyde Park in June 1969 is readily evoked. Happy Birthday Ginger.

Rick Wakeman/Always With You ....import CD $18.99
For centuries, composers of all nationalities have been taking existing musical themes from other composers and rewriting them by putting their own twists and turns into the music and in the process, often giving a completely new slant to that of the composer's original intentions.

Always With You contains compositions from the new and the old all of which have been recorded by Rick in his own inimitable style. Always With You is an album of accomplishment and melody and an album that will bear repeated play. With tracks such as Ave Maria, The Piano Messiah, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and the title track Always With You this album will appeal to a wider audience than Rick usually appeals to through his rock releases mixing as it does the contemporary alongside the traditional.

"Spirits Burning is a musical collective overseen by American composer/producer Don Falcone that has released a pluralistic combination of ambient, jazz and full-on space-rock with input from many of the genre's luminaries... Spirits Burning has become a respected melting pot of the space-rock fraternity." Ian Abrahams, Rock N Reel, July-August, 2008 "Spirits Burning is one of the most unique entities in the space rock galaxy. The group consists of one main member, Don Falcone, and many other participants from various other bands, projects, etc. Members of Gong, Hawkwind, Acid Mothers Temple, Porcupine Tree, University of Errors, Quarkspace, Scattered Planets, Mooch, F/I, Melting Euphoria and scores of others have all participated on Spirits Burning discs. The recording process would probably not be possible without the power of the Internet but Don finds many different methods of bringing the musicians together and uses his magic to construct tracks with a very natural feel as if these contributors from all over the planet were in the same place for the recordings." ffroyd, Progressive Ears, July, 2009
Gary Duncan & Quicksilver/Shapeshifter Vol 1 & 2 ....import double CD $21.99
Gary Duncan was a founder member of the legendary San Franciscan band Quicksilver Messenger Service. Between 1965 and 1975 the band played literally thousands of concerts and attracted massive critical acclaim and along with The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were one of the most influential bands to come out of San Francisco in the sixties. Gary played on many albums released by Quicksilver Messenger Service including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Happy Trails, Quicksilver and Solid Silver. Although the band effectively split in the mid seventies Gary has quite often along with David Freiberg reformed Quicksilver Messenger Service and toured the world usually with Jefferson Starship which also numbers David Freiberg as a member. For a period from the mid eighties through to the mid nineties and beyond Gary Duncan led his own band Quicksilver and released a number of albums. These albums are now being made available again once more at the behest of Gary Duncan having been unavailable for some time. Shape Shifter volumes 1&2 was the first album to bear the Quicksilver name for ten years when it was originally released in 1996. The album whilst being a new Quicksilver album and an album that was in keeping with the time in which it was written and recorded also bears the hallmark that is unmistakably Quicksilver. Shapeshifter Volumes 1&2 was originally available as a double album but more recently has been available as two single albums. This new reissue brings the two volumes together once more as they were on the original release. On this album Gary Duncan is joined by amongst others fellow Quicksilver Messenger Service member David Freiberg and former Sly and the Family Stone drummer Greg Errico. Elsewhere there are appearances from Santana's Raul Rekow and War's Lee Oskar.

Robin Trower/Twice Removed From Yesterday ....CD $13.99
Iconoclassic - Following Robin Trower's departure from Procol Harum he embarked upon a remarkable solo career with the aid of James Dewar (vocals and bass) and Conrad Isadore (drums). The power trio's debut release has been remastered by Grammy-winning engineer Vic Anesini and features new liner notes that include a fresh interview with Robin himself. Robin Trower's initial offering was produced by former Procol band mate Matthew Fisher and the album unleashed the full force of Trower's incredible guitar playing. The Fender Stratocaster was his weapon of choice and the sheer fury with which Robin attacked uptempo rock and blues was astonishing considering that those elements of his playing had only been hinted at in his former band. The contrast of that was the subtlety and pure lyricism that was displayed on less aggressive materiel like "Daydream," an FM radio staple from back in the day. This is the album that paved the way to "Bridge of Sighs" and superstardom. The Iconoclassic release is augmented by "Take A Fast Train," the B-side of the album's first single "Man of the World."

BGO - 'Thirty Seconds Over Winterland' was issued in 1973 but recorded on the 1972 US tour. 'Early Flight' is a collection of tracks recorded between 1965-70 that didn't make it onto albums at the time. Both albums made the US Top 200. Digitally remastered and slip-cased with extensive new notes.
The Guess Who/Wheatfield Soul + Share The Land + Canned Wheat ....triple CD $29.99
IronBird - Three original albums in a 3-CD package with new sleeve notes! Wheatfield Soul became a collector's item over the years. The hit 'These Eyes' has the authority that the band repeated on chart songs down the line. What makes 'Wheatfield Soul' so sought after is inventive themes that found their way onto later albums. 'These Eyes' remains timeless; it is the song that stands out as the masterpiece on this creative album. 1969s 'Canned Wheat' introduced several of the band's most remembered songs and still sounds incredibly fresh, a product from the days of classic rock. Burt Cummings great rock & roll voice keeps the most overdone song fresh and Randy Bachman's underrated guitar work always serving the song's needs. Recorded in the aftermath of Randy Bachman's departure, 'Share The Land' was a better album than anyone expected. It was the biggest selling original album in their career. Burton Cummings is in excellent voice and the new double lead guitar team of Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw gave the band a greater range than they had before. The original album includes two numbers from earlier sessions, 'Palmyra' and 'The Answer,' featuring Randy Bachman on guitar.
Laura Nyro And Labelle/Gonna Take A Miracle ....CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - This album can be looked at in so many different ways. It can be seen as a prime example of the little known but big around these parts genre of "Girls together singing crazy" and by the way the witchiest record since "Iko Iko." It can be seen as an exploration of Nyro's pop roots and a wistful look back at her love for early New York soul and Motown and it can also be seen as a surprise collaboration with Labelle, caught between their '60s Girl Group heyday and their soon-come hit-making odyssey into Sci-Fi soul/disco with Allan Toussaint. Or you can see it as a rather wonderful combination of all the above, a product of many a night alone by the radio or the record player, breathing the sound of doo-wop and early soul into the New York night, as a girl dreamed her dreams. The stark production, atypical of the Philadelphia International studios where it was recorded only serves to highlight the interplay between Nyro and Labelle. Includes bonus tracks of Laura live in the '70s singing even more of these songs which obviously meant so much to her.
Alice Cooper/Dada ....CD $12.99
Collectors' Choice - As Alice Cooper entered the '80s, the emergence of punk rock (which, in turn, owed a debt to him) revitalized his sound and material, steering him away from the overblown albums of the late '70s towards the raw, nasty rock 'n' roll that, along with that one-of-a-kind stage show, originally brought him fame and fortune. We're putting this oft-overlooked items in Alice's catalog back in print with new notes by Gene Sculatti! Producer Bob Ezrin and guitarist Dick Wagner were back on board for this 1982 release, which a lot of Alice Cooper fans ranks right up there with School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies even though it didn't rack up the sales of its predecessors. All sides of Alice are on display here, from horror-movie shtick to laugh-out-loud humor, all set to stinging rock 'n' roll with a bit of an alternative edge. Pick this one up if you missed out on it the first time; includes Da; Enough's Enough; Former Lee Warmer; No Man's Land; Dyslexia; Scarlet and Sheba; I Love America; Fresh Blood, and Pass the Gun Around.
Alice Cooper/Special Forces ....CD $12.99
Collectors' Choice - "Special Forces" alludes to the Alice's guns and ammo fixation at the time - after all, this is a guy that made a career out of exploring fetishes! And just to make our reissue of this 1981 album complete, we've added the lovely bonus track Look at You Over There, Ripping the Sawdust from My Teddybear—vintage Alice Cooper! Also includes from the original release Who Do You Think We Are; Seven & Seven Is; Prettiest Cop on the Block; Don't Talk Old to Me; Generation Landslide '81 (Live); Skeletons in the Closet; You Want It, You Got It; You Look Good in Rags; You're a Movie, and Vicious Rumors.
Alice Cooper/Zipper Catches Skin ....CD $12.99
Collectors' Choice - The title's enough to make you wince (especially if you're a guy), and Alice follows it up with plenty more humor where that came from on this 1982 release, which ranks among the most ambitious (and funniest) of his career. He'd clearly been listening to the new wave sounds of the time, and you'll hear those nervous, staccato rhythms alongside his trademark hard rock riffing on Zorro's Ascent; Make That Money (Scrooge's Song); I Am the Future (from Class of '84); No Baloney Homosapiens; Adaptable (Anything for You); I Like Girls; Remarkably Insincere; Tag, You're It; I Better Be Good, and one of our favorite song titles of all time, I'm Alive (That Was the Day My Dead Pet Returned to Save My Life). Also includes a bonus track, For Britain Only!
Lothar And The Hand People/Presenting Lothar And The Hand People ....CD $11.99
Micro Werks - What would synthesizer music be without the influential 5-piece band, Lothar and the Hand People? The answer: nothing. This late '60s band, distinguished by their use of the Theremin and MOOG synthesizer, influenced later generations of spacey and psychedelic music to come. "Presenting...Lothar and the Hand People" is the debut album from the natives of Denver, Colorado and consists of 13 sensational tunes that are cheery, toe tapping and provide inter-galactic-sounding fun. Just grab a copy of "Forbidden Planet" together with this record and you’ll be sure to be the most spacey kid on the block!
SRC/SRC ....CD $11.99
Micro Werks - The long out of print CD by the SRC. One of Michigan's psychedelic gems, the band remains a favorite along side MC5, The Amboy Dukes, and the Stooges. Lot's of sustain laden guitar and spacey lyrics to keep you awake.
SRC/Milestones ....CD $11.99
Micro Werks - The second Capitol record by this Michigan psychedelic band. Much more melodic than the first record, but still an essential listen for any fan of MC5, Amboy Dukes or the Stooges.
The Albion Band/Natural And Wild ....import CD $17.99
Talking Elephant - A fantastic live album from the Albion Band Circa 1987 and featuring one of the best Albion line ups ever...featuring Cathy Lesurf, Phil Beer, Ashley Hutchings, Trevor Foster, Eric Hine, John Shepherd & Special Guest Chris Baines & The Wing and a Prayer Brass Section.
The Albion Band/Rockin Barn Dance ....import CD $17.99
Talking Elephant - A fantastic live album from the Albion Dance Band Circa 1988 and featuring one of the best Albion line ups ever...featuring Polly Bolton, Phil Beer, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Care, Trevor Foster, Pete Zorn, John Shepherd and special guest caller Sid Kipper.
Lamb/Bring Out The Sun ....CD $12.99
Collectors' Choice - Though they were managed by a San Francisco rock legend (Bill Graham) and produced by another one (David Rubinson), Lamb didn't really fit into the late '60s/early '70s San Francisco rock scene. Instead, their blend of jazz, folk, gospel and even classical/avant garde influences put them more into the arty chamber pop realms inhabited by such artists as David Ackles, Tim Buckley and the United States of America. They have remained, however, heavy cult favorites, and aficionados of the Bay Area music scene still regard lead singer Barbara Mauritz as one of the best female vocalists to emerge from that fertile ground (and that's sayin' something, friends). This album was actually co-billed as Barbara Mauritz & Lamb, and band co-founder Bob Swanson is only on about half the tracks, but Bring Out the Sun is another cohesive, invigorating release from this criminally overlooked band. Here, the focus slides more to gospel rock, with Mauritz's torchy, soulful stylings taking center stage, but you'll still find the eerie, minor-key jazz-folk that made the band's previous recordings so distinctive and compelling. Includes Old Fashioned Remedy; Wish; Rap with Rhyme; River Boulevard; How Am I Gonna Manage?; Visions of Blackbirds; Salty; Vine, and Live to Your Heart.
Lamb/Cross Between ....CD $12.99
Collectors' Choice - Eclectic, challenging and accomplished both lyrically and musically, this 1971 album deserved a lot wider audience than it got at the time. It's something of a singer-songwriter showcase for Barbara Mauritz, but the band's backing arrangements are so striking and so ingenious that it's clearly the work of a band, not a solo artist. Includes Flying; Now's Not the Time; Cross Between; Sleepwalkers; Reach High; Ku; While Waiting; Floatation, and Milo and the Travelers.
Georgie Fame/Mod Classics: 1964-1966 ....import CD $17.99
BGP - This is the first compilation of Georgie Fame's Columbia recordings since 1979's "Beat Classics" and is designed to complement that seminal work. While that went for the hits and the singles, "Mod Classics" goes for the dance floor appeal of 24 tracks that mix jazz, rhythm and blues and soul. Many of the tracks on our CD have only been available in Japan since their original releases were deleted in the late 60s. Georgie and his group, the Blue Flames, were the hippest outfit in mid '60s London. Their residency at Soho's Flamingo Club was a fixture for mods and American GIs, who danced all night to the sounds of black America and Georgie's interpretations of it. Georgie covered the hippest jazz cuts, the most obscure soul from Stax, Motown and Okeh and would also show his love of rhythm and blues with his take on numbers by Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. Cuts such as 'El Bandido,' 'Last Night,' 'Sweet Thing' and 'Outrage' are seminal mod club classics, while his album "Sound Venture" showed Georgie to be the hippest cat in town with a band featuring Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott and many of the hottest names of British jazz. The cut 'Dawn Yawn,' from that album, written by Georgie, is a masterpiece describing a trawl through Soho clubs and the melancholia of an early morning trip home. This compilation shows that there was more to Georgie Fame than the hits of 'Yeh, Yeh!' and 'Getaway' – this is the Georgie of the Flamingo All-Nighter, a man worshipped by the mods.
Joan Armatrading/Walk Under Ladders ....import CD $15.99
Cherry Pop - From the day of her first appearance in London (in a production of "Hair"), where she met Pam Nestor and began working on her first collection of songs, her career hasn't looked back. The '70s produced a string of great albums, mostly tinged with an acoustic, jazzy, even folky flavour, until, in the late '70s and early '80s she found her way into a more pop orientated sound, which is the point at which this collection finds her. Produced by the ever reliable Steve Lillywhite, "Walk Under Ladders" was Joan's eighth LP and comfortably reached the UK's Top Ten, and peaking at number 6 on its release in 1981. A set of solid, catchy and artistically respectable songs, this album established the artist as a versatile figurehead at the beginning of the decade.
The Flying Lizards/The Flying Lizards ....CD $11.99
Micro Werks - The brainchild of David Cunningham, a well-respected avant-garde composer, producer, and visual artist, Flying Lizards made their mark with two tracks that helped define the '80s. "Money (That's What I Want)" and "Summertime Blues." This is one of the great eccentric pop records of that era.
Zakarrias/Zakarrias ....import CD $15.99
Cherry Tree - Recorded in London in the summer of 1971 by Austrian singer/songwriter Bobby Haumer and an English pick-up band, 'Zakarrias' was issued on the highly collectable Deram label. However, Deram withdrew the album almost immediately when they discovered that Haumer didn't have a work permit and therefore had to return to Austria. The result is one of the rarest slabs of early Seventies vinyl, original copies having sold for in excess of $1000 on the rare occasions that they surface. Full of unexpected melodic shifts, and with an over-whelming sense of space and unresolved tension, the album skilfully blends singer/songwriter introversion with elements of folk, blues, psychedelia and progressive rock. This definitive, first-ever official release boasts master-tape sound, rare photos and, for the first time, the strange-but-true story behind this fascinating, charmingly odd album.
Philamore Lincoln/The North Wind Blew South ....import CD $18.99
Grapefruit - One of the most mysterious albums of the late '60s, British singer/songwriter Philamore Lincoln's US-only release 'The North Wind Blew South' - including his original version of 'Temma Harbour,' a song that became a Top Ten hit for Mary Hopkin - has attracted plenty of conjecture over the years, much of it concerning the alleged involvement of the Yardbirds (Chris Dreja took the album photo, while Jimmy Page contributed a fierce lead guitar break to one of the standout tracks, 'You're The One'). This first-ever official reissue of a much-counterfeited set finally sets the record straight about the elusive Mr. Lincoln and his highly convoluted musical history, which included previous pseudonymous stints as jazz drummer Phil Kinorra and blue-eyed soulster Julien Covey (whose 'A Little Bit Hurt' single had been highly popular in Swinging London discotheques). More importantly, it also allows British psychedelic pop fans to hear a superb but highly obscure album, whose baroque string arrangements, evocative flute, breathy vocals and cryptic, mystical lyrics occupy much the same territory as Donovan's work during the psych-pop era – particularly on the stunning, hypnotic title track, which remains one of the undiscovered classics of the British psychedelic pop genre.
Dana Gillespie/Andy Warhol ....CD $15.99
Lemon - Dana Gillespie is nowadays known as a blues/R&B/jazz singer, but in her younger years she had two brief (but impressive) alternative careers. In 1967/68 she made two albums of folk pop, 'Foolish Seasons' and 'Box Of Surprises.' A long time friend and lover of David Bowie, she sang backing vocals on 'Ziggy Stardust' and was signed to Bowie's management company Mainman. For that company, she made two LPs, the superb 'Weren't Born A Man' (1973) and 'Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle' (1974) with songs from both featured on this compilation. Despite production from David Bowie, Mick Ronson and Robin Cable, and the support of the best studio musicians of the day, neither album was a hit and Gillespie concentrated on her sex-bomb film career before reinventing herself as a bawdy blues mama in the 1980s. 'Weren't Born A Man' is one of the strongest glam-rock-soul albums of the 1970s and will appeal to fans of Bowie and Mick Ronson.
Skip Bifferty/Skip Bifferty ....import CD $18.99
Grapefruit - They may have been downgraded over the intervening years to a retrospectively-acclaimed, collector-type act, but at the time Skip Bifferty were genuine contenders: significant radio support for their singles, heavyweight management (courtesy of the notorious Don Arden), and afforded Next Big Thing status by the weekly pop papers. Sadly, though, it didn’t quite work out. Despite receiving rave reviews, the band's eponymous album failed to elevate them to the premier league, largely due to RCA's bizarre decision not to release it until the summer of 1968 – a full year after it had been completed. Not that such record company procrastination matters now, as the album has long been regarded as one of the most dazzling examples of the British psychedelic pop genre and it forms the basis of this new, definitive Skip Bifferty collection, which, for the first time, gathers their entire studio output under one roof. An essential release for anyone interested in British psychedelia.
Zalman Yanovsky/Alive And Well In Argentina ....CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - When Zalman Yanovsky was controversially ousted from The Lovin Spoonfull in 1967, the fans took it hard...as both the only folkie to be a master of the electric guitar long before folk rock, and an arch humorist and mugger, Zally had been the most popular member of the band. But Zally didn't go off and become a waiter, oh no. Bizarrely, he and his replacement in the Spoonful, ex MFQ-er Jerry Yester formed a production company, successfully working with artists such as Tim Buckley. Then there was this, sadly his only solo album. 'Alive and Well In Argentina' was crafted by Zally and Jerry as almost a deconstruction of pop, with odd covers of boyhood favorites and Zappaesque malarkey jostling with folkpop gems.
Gryphon/Treason ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - Treason is the last album by progressive folk band, Gryphon, originally released in 1977 by Harvest. English folk, renaissance chansons and rock all thrown into one. Gryphon were a British progressive rock band of the 1970s, notable for their unusual sound and instrumentation. Gryphon's music often sounded as much like rural English folk or renaissance chansons as it did rock, at least on their early recordings. After their third album (Red Queen to Gryphon Three) and the subsequent tour as a supporting act for Yes, their instrumentation became more conventional and the use of non-standard instruments was reduced. In June 2009 Gryphon performed a reunion concert at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. The four original members opened the evening with a selection of songs and instrumentals from the first album, Gryphon. They were then joined by Jon Davie (the final bass player who appeared on Treason) for the rest of the evening. Treason has not been available on CD for some 12 years and has been re-mastered fully with love, care and devotion for all serious listeners around the world.
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush/Live + Tales Of The Unexpected + What's Next ....import double CD $21.99
BGO - The Frank Marino-led power trio recorded these albums in the late 1970s, all of which made the US Top 200. After Mahogany Rush, guitarist Marino pursued a solo career. Digitally remastered, with new notes and slipcase.

Recordings from brilliant live performances in USA, Japan And Germany. Previously released as 3 separate full price 2CD sets, Asia on these recordings feature Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, John Payne, Vinny Burns, Trevor Thornton.
Mick Ronson/Slaughter On 10th Avenue ....import CD $15.99
Lemon - The first solo album from the celebrated guitarist who played on David Bowie's "Spiders From Mars." Features a mix of covers and original material, and includes appearances from bassist Trevor Bolder and drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Generally regarded as one of Ronson's finest records, this was also his biggest, reaching the Top Ten in the UK.
Mick Ronson/Play Don't Worry ....import CD $15.99
Lemon - The second solo album from the former 'Spiders From Mars' guitarist. It featured mainly covers, all arranged by Ronson to suit his style including songs from the Velvet Underground and Little Richard. Ian Hunter makes a guest appearance. Contains 8 rare and previously unreleased tracks.
Bruce Woolley & The Camera Club/Bruce Woolley & The Camera Club ....import CD $15.99
Lemon - The overdue reissue of this seminal and influential album featuring the respected recording artist, songwriter and record producer, Bruce Woolley who has enjoyed widespread success as the co-writer of pop classics including 'Video Killed The Radio Star,' Grace Jones' 'Slave To The Rhythm' and has written/worked with many other artists; Marc Almond, Nile Rodgers, Shirley Bassey, Cher, Pet Shop Boys and Divine amongst many others. Members of the Camera Club included a young unknown Thomas Dolby on keyboards and Matthew Seligman, also of The Soft Boys on bass. This album features all the tracks from their 1979 album plus six bonus tracks. The most comprehensive collection of the band's recordings available.
Spike Jones/The Best of Spike Jones ....triple DVD $20.99
Dubbed the "Master of Musical Mayhem" by Rolling Stone, comedic bandleader Spike Jones and the City Slickers were hugely popular in the '40s, '50s and '60s, known for wacky skits and zany renditions of the day's most popular songs. An accomplished musician, Spike was a true innovator – whose comedic madness was lightyears ahead of his time – directly influencing such iconoclasts as Frank Zappa, Ernie Kovacs, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Stan Freberg and George Carlin. From 1954-61, Spike came into living rooms across the nation with The Spike Jones Show (NBC & CBS). His special brand of music featured hilarious arrangements punctuated by sneezes, hiccups, snores, belches, gunshots, explosions, whistles, bird calls, cowbells, foghorns ... and anything else laying around at the time! Now experience this classic television on DVD for the first time – digitally remastered and featuring Spike’s biggest hits (over 60 melodies!) and most hilarious bits – in a special-edition, three-disc collector's set, produced and edited under the personal supervision of Spike Jones, Jr. Features show regulars vocalist Helen Grayco (Mrs. Jones) and the City Slickers: Freddie Morgan Doodles Weaver, George Rock, Sir Fredrick Gas and Billy Barty. Also such stars of the day as Eddy Arnold, Zasu Pitts and Howdy Doody. Bonus Material: Two never-before-aired pilots, marking the band's television debut.
Horslips/The Tain ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - At one point in the mid-1970s, Horslips bidded to be Ireland's answer to Steeleye Span. They also had crossover fans with Jethro Tull, Genesis, and even Yes in their folkier moments. Horslips released many superb albums along the way, becoming Ireland's most acclaimed folk-rock and progressive band. Founded in Dublin during 1970 as a quintet playing a brand of folk-based rock music whose only parallel could be found in the early work of Fairport Convention. Horslips drew on their distinctly Irish roots, and were capable of playing straight folk material when the moment called for it, but weren't afraid to turn up loud and hard, in the best art-rock style, on the right songs. The Tain was amongst the bands most successful albums, originally released in 1973 was a concept album built on Irish mythological sources. Now remastered, repackaged and including bonus material. Special Gatefold Digipac Format With Bonus Tracks.
Horslips/The Book Of Invasions ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - The Book of Invasions was originally released in 1977, subtitled "A Celtic Symphony," it was, like The Tain, inspired by Irish mythology, this time the story of Tuatha De Danann's conquest of ancient pre-Christian Ireland. Now remastered, repackaged and including bonus material all in a year that brings Horslips back to the stage with special performances in December at the '02 in Dublin and the Belfast Arena.
Horslips/The Man Who Built America ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - The Man Who Built America marked a major change in Horslips with their more folk-oriented approach to music taking a back seat to a more mainstream rock sound. Now remastered, repackaged and including bonus material.
Cass Elliott/Cass Elliot + The Road Is No Place For A Lady ....CD $15.99
Collectors' Choice - This is a very special reissue for us at Collectors’ Choice Music, and it’s not just because we're restoring to availability some classic albums that have been gathering dust in the vaults (that's standard operating procedure around here)! No, it's also because, as Cass Elliot's daughter Owen put it to us, these albums were by far the most representative of her mother's artistic vision, as Cass, freed from the commercial strictures at ABC/Dunhill, the Mamas & Papas' old label, was given free reign by RCA to select her own repertoire and collaborators. The result was two absolute gems, both of which have been mysteriously absent from CD ("Cass Elliot" has been out of print for years, "The Road," her final studio album, has never been on CD at all). Plus, we've added unreleased bonus tracks—a full portrait of an artist at the top of her game! Arranged and conducted by Benny Golson, Cass Elliot includes I'll Be Home; Baby I'm Yours; Jesus Was a Cross Maker; That Song; When It Doesn't Work Out; I’ll Be There; Disney Girls; I Think It's Going to Rain Today; Cherries Jubilee, and All in the Game, plus the bonus tracks East of the Sun (and West of the Moon); We'll See, and Try It Baby. The Road, which features Chris Spedding on guitar among other luminaries, includes (If You're Gonna) Break Another Heart; Saturday Suit; Does Anybody Love You; Walk Beside Me; All My Life; Say Hello; Who in the World; Love Was Not a Word; Oh Babe, What Would You Say; The Road Is No Place for a Lady. With notes by Mama maven Richard Campbell!

Gary Stewart/Cactus & A Rose + Collector's Series ....CD $13.99

Featured on this album are Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Bonnie Bramlett and Reggie Young. 'Collector's Series' is a kind of "best of" collection, culling together some of his best tracks.

BRUCE JACK & TROWER ROBIN - SEVEN MOONS LIVE $14.98
The first live CD release of two living legends playing together! Hailed as one of the
most powerful vocalists and greatest bassists of his time, Jack Bruce’s
improvisational skill and unique, free-spirited approach to composition and performance
forever changed electric music. His pioneering, full-toned, freewheeling playing on the
electric bass revolutionized the way the instrument is used and influenced the playing of
countless bassists today, including Stingand Jaco Pastorius. Robin Trower, whose career
has spanned more than four decades, is one of the finest guitarists in rock history.

Strat-fueled playing style.
BUCHANAN ROY - IMP-WHEN A TELECASTER PLAYES T $15.98
''Roy Buchanan, the world’s best unknown guitarist, was one of America's most soulful

guitar straight into your frontal brain lobes, bear witness to that laudatory testimony.
''

CLUSTER - CURIOSUM $16.98
Originally released on Sky Records in 1981, Bureau B reissues Cluster's Curiosum -- the
sixth duo collaboration between Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius. Curiosum was to
mark a departure to pastures new. Little did they know that this would be their last
release for the next nine years. Curiosum was launched into an atmosphere of musical
turbulence. Electronic sounds had become commonplace in pop music and the voice of Cluster
could barely be heard through the noise of a new generation of music. Curiosum is a
decidedly tranquil, almost melancholy album -- quiet being the operative word, as Cluster
slipped out of the limelight.
COCKBURN BRUCE - LIVE $14.98
Bruce Cockburn's concerts are always a wonder to behold; expansive, entrancing and full of
suprises. Live has all those qualities in abundance. Recorded live in Toronto, Canada on

COLOSSEUM - MORITURI TE SALUTANT $43.98

leading exponents of the jazzier end of the British progressive rock spectrum. Assembled
by former Graham Bond/John Mayall drummer Jon Hiseman, they achieved significant
commercial and critical acclaim with such albums as Those Who Are About ToDie Salute You
and Daughter Of Time, which showcased an irresistible blend of superior musicianship and a
visceral approach to music-making that took them way beyond many of their supposed rivals.
Pieced together with the active assistance of Jon Hiseman, Morituri Te Salutant features
extended highlights from Colosseum’s original albums as well as numerous
previouslyunissued studio and live outtakes, including BBC session material, the aborted
late Sixties single ‘Tell Me Now’ and a host of alternative recordings from the
tour that was immortalised on what many admirers believe to be the band’s definitive
work, Colosseum Live.

Great classic rockers together on one cd! They all contribute vocals to classic rock songs
but this is modern sounding that recalls those classics and yet looks to the future
DEVO - Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE $14.98
(Deluxe Remastered Edition) Produced by Brian Eno, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! was
a seminal touchstone in the development of American new wave. It was one of the first pop
albums to use synthesizers as an important textural element, an innovation that began to
lay the groundwork for the synth-pop explosion that would follow very shortly. Q: Are We
Not Men also revived the absurdist social satire of the Mothers of Invention, claiming
punk rock's outsider alienation as a home for freaks and geeks. While Devo's appeal was
certainly broader, their sound was tailored well enough to that sensibility that it still
resonates with a rabid cult following. The album featured some of Devo's most memorable
work with ''Uncontrollable Urge,'' the incredible cover of ''(I Can't Get No)
Satisfaction,'' ''Mongoloid'' and ''Jocko Homo.'' Jewlecase packaging. Content featues the
11 tracks from the original album plus 11 live bonus tracks, all on one disc.

locked in tight as they deliver smoking takes on songs from their forthcoming album,
classics from the band’s 1967, self-titled debut, and a number of driving blues
covers. Sadly, these shows represent The Doors’ final New York City performances with
Morrison, who passed away July 3, 1971.

HARMONIA & ENO `76 - TRACKS AND TRACES (RMSR+BNS) $14.98
Magical moments cannot be fabricated at the push of a button, they simply come to be. In
the late summer of 1976 such a moment of revelation befell the musicians of Harmonia as if
by chance. The band had made two albums up to then, Musik von Harmonia(1974), and
Deluxe(1975). Both works are now considered classics of krautrock and electronic music;
nonetheless, afterwards the creative core went its separate ways. As they say, good things
take time. And now, 33 years after these recordings were created, we finally have an
all-around satisfying version of a long believed lost treasure of the krautrock era.

following their blinding set at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 (which featured
Joplin's show-stopping performance of 'Ball And Chain', a highlight also of D.A.
Pennebaker's famous movie documenting the festival). For many fans this was the period
when Janis Joplin was at her best, before the pressure of fame and the ravages of drugs
took over. This is the first DVD to release these KQED TV tracks. The songs are
interspersed with short interviews with Janis and other band members, all in excellent
sound and picture quality for the era. In addition to 'Ball And Chain', which was to

completed, Lucy Vodden, a childhood friend of Julian's who inspired him to draw a picture
of her, that later inspired his father John lennon and Paul McCartney to pen the song
''Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,'' passes away while fighting the disease lupus. While
Julian was in the studio, James' song LUCY tok on a whole new meaning. It was then decided
that Julian would sing the song as a duet rather than background vocals as Julian felt the
song might be a great way to honor the memory of Lucy Vodden. James's grandmother has been
living with lupus for years and is also named Lucy. A portion of the song's sales will be
donated to the St. Thomas' Lupus Trust in the UK and to the Lupus Foundation of America.
LENNON SEAN - ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN $12.98

RESIDENTS - TEN LITTLE PIGGIES $13.98

RIVERSIDE - ANNO DOMINI:HIGH DEFINITION $14.98
Riverside have composed an album which is a perfect reflection of our times. An offering
full of symbolism – starting with the fact that the title of their fourth release
consists of four words and that the album is precisely 44:44 minutes long – and an
intelligent take on current reality. Anno Domini High Definition is not a concept album in
the classic sense, although it features a central theme and a haunting message. ''It's an
album about people who know they need to speed up or they'll get left behind'', singer
Mariusz Duda summarizes regarding the tracks. Experts have called Riverside a stylistic
mix of Tool, Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater, but Duda reckons that other influences are
more dominant on Anno Domini High Definition: ''We wanted to reflect the energy of the
early 70's and combine it with modern sounds. But at the end of the day, this record
ultimately sounds like Riverside.''
