"An expanded 3 CD edition of the acclaimed Procol Harum album "Exotic Birds And Fruit".
Released in April 1974, the album was the product of a series of recording sessions beset by power cuts, the result of industrial strife during the winter of 1973.

Extensively remastered, this is the first legitimate reissue of what is perhaps THE top Canadian psychedelic rarity.

“Recorded in a time when creativity counted for more than commercial appeal, the album was recorded for the eclectic Sound Canada label. It sold poorly, but was rediscovered as part of the revival in interest in psychedelia; the only problem—copies of the original album are incredibly rare (and incredibly expensive!).
"Royal American…" seems to have one foot planted on either .

"1994 saw the release of Todd's ground-breaking NO WORLD ORDER album, which was the first interactive album release utilising the recently developed CD-i format, allowing the listener to alter the playback of the interactive disc by selecting one of four pre-determined sequences prepared by different producers. Such an exciting concept gave birth to a unique and exciting tour, which saw Rundgren appear on his own on stage surrounded by keyboards, guitar and performing live utilising the latest technology. T

"Released in 1974 by Gull Records, Things To Come was the brainchild of musicians KEN ELLIOTT and KIERAN O'CONNOR (previously with the pioneering group Second Hand).
The conceptual album was recorded at Chalk Farm Studios in London and was the result of many hours of meticulous overdubbing, with Ken Elliott playing an arsenal of keyboards and utilizing the latest synthesizer technology of the day (in addition to providing vocals), whilst Kieran O'Connor played a multitude of percussion....

In the late 1970s, Sky emerged as sort of a musician's musicians supergroup, consisting of musicians from the classical and (progressive) rock worlds. While they weren't touted as a progressive rock band, they were a progressive rock band in the same...

Unavailable for a decade, one of the great, hard to find classics of British jazz-rock (and of jazz-rock in general) makes a very welcome return on this new, remastered edition. For my money, this is the final, truely great Soft Machine album; there...

A very good album from 'way back when' with a fairly incredible story! I had never seen or heard it before now, although I knew its legend...!

Although not the highest charting Spirit album, ‘Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus’ is now regarded as one of the band’s finest works. The album spawned the single ‘Animal Zoo’ and included...

New, remixed and remastered edition of the first solo album released by the bassist of Yes when the band took a break after the Relayer tour.
It's one of the best two (and maybe the best) of the solo albums released by the members of the band, imo.

Recorded in the late Spring and Summer of 1975 whilst Yes was on hiatus as members recorded their respective solo albums...

Early 70s British proto-progressive band that someone once compared to the harmony soaked late Beatles sound mixed with Joy of a Toy era Kevin Ayers!

Possessing a gift for melody...

24-bit remaster from the original B&C Record master tapes and including a booklet with an interview with guitarist Martin Pugh.
Steamhammer were an undeservedly obscure UK power trio who started as a blues band, but by the time of this 1970 release, their third of four releases, they were beginning to move beyond their electric blues roots into something that still reflects that but is free-er and more expansive. That would continue when their fourth release finally came, but this is still a good....
