“A two CD set containing a pair of albums from iconic New Orleans singer/songwriter Mac Rebennack AKA Dr. John. With Cajun guests Sonny Landreth and Michael Doucet and arrangements by Fred Wesley, CREOLE MOON featured four co-writes with songwriting legend Doc Pomus, and is, in Dr John's words, 'a collection of tunes so close to my heart that I feel strongest about - a personal interpretation of New Orleans, and each song is a story or a vignette'.
N'AWLINZ: DIS DAT OR D'UDDA is a further tribute...

"52 songs of strange events, places and things. Includes 20 original paintings by Ray O'Bannon"-Bob Drake.

"The songs are brief, amusingly creepy or creepily amusing (takes your pick!) with really nice creepy/cool paintings to accompany the mood. Perhaps the scariest thing is that each of these miniatures is a fully formed, fully orchestrated and complete structure - no lazy snippets here - and Bob plays all the parts with his famously Paganini-esque virtuosity in spooky variable-tempo synchrony..

"Dream Aria is a new progressive band hailing from Ontario Canada. Originating as a studio project for keyboardistcomposer Donald Stagg, the band took flight with the contributions of singer/songwriter Ann Burstyn, rhythm man Garry Flint (drums & bass) and Jozef Pilasanovic (guitar, bass, vocals, flute) each adding their own elements to the Dream Aria sound. These elements include Progressive, Classical and World musics blended seamlessly without regard for labels or boundaries. Dream Aria certainly...

Klaus Fichter - vocals, keyboards, guitar, synthesizer, drums, percussion
Rolf Fichter - vocals, keyboards, Mellotron, synthesizer, vibraphone, flute, guitar, bass

The Fichter brothers were the main folks behind the classic 1974 Brain release “A Meditation Mass” by Yatha Sidra. After Yatha Sidhra released their great (and only) release, it seemed like they totally vanished, but then this showed up about 6 years later.
It’s about half spacey like Yatha Sidra and about half a bit more...

This is a high-quality pirate edition of this never-reissued, very obscure Krautrock rarity.

"From 1971. Incredible Kraut/funk meeting of U.S. expatriate and the cream of the German rock scene: Achim Reichel, Conny Plank, Wolfgang 'Zabba'...

“Psychedelic rock from NYC's No-Neck Blues Band commune. Egypt’s live shows from 98-99 were truly mind-blowing experiences that inspired this writer to start the Psycho-Path Records label to release their psychedelic music.
“How Many Pieces” album was recorded in the studio, in 1999. Four long tracks, Beefheart-meets-Sun Ra style.”

“How wonderful to have this top class artefact available again. The mighty Electric Prunes recorded, both aurally and visually, in Brighton back in 2002, three years after they reformed again in 1999. And if, like me initially, you worry that what you might get is a pale imitation of a once great band, please don't hesitate for a moment. The Prunes are in top class form. In truth it is like they were never away, and the old magic is still there, front and centre, just like in the halcyon days - or should...

"Sharing social circles and spiritual ideologies with artists such as Iasos, Connie Demby and Deuter, whilst splitting label release schedules with Laraaji, Laurie Spiegel and Wendy Carlos, the unique Florida-raised soul mate duo known as Emerald Web released their privately pressed debut LP at an axis where post-prog rock met proto-new age and ambient electronic music. At the turn of the 1980s, Bob Stohl and Kat Epple embarked on a ten-year spiritual journey playing at planetariums and laser shows above...

Second, final and best album by this folk/psych duo who used male and female vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, organs, mellotron, bass, synths, percussion and more.

"Being in Berlin at the time, they soon caught the attention of of the enthusiastic Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser who signed them up for his 'new German folk music label" Pilz. The album Saat was a truly progressive folk masterpiece, with the beautiful 'English' vocals of Dolly Homes and occasionally the contrastingly Teutonic voice of Maik...

Extremely influential 1979-1980 collaboration between Brian Eno and the leader of the Talking Heads (along with some guest musicians) and a lot of 'found vocalists' mostly taken from broadcasts by radio talk show hosts and evangelists. In pre-sampling days, it was a really radical idea...times have certainly changed! I remember when I worked at a record store there were people coming in every week to ask about if this was released yet! This includes 7 tracks that weren't on the original release as well...

“It is difficult to reconstruct the exact founding date for this project. End of the 80s is probably best. Hauke Harms and Axel Ermes got to know each other and began to experiment very irregularly but always extremely intensively with electronic sounds, analog synthesizers and unusual sounds, sometimes even recorded with a small recording device in the forests of Northern Germany.
Intellectual and compositional role models are certainly Klaus Schulze, Cluster, Can and a few other protagonists of...

“In 1966, Dallas was a Mecca for great bands and two of the best, The Exotics and The Esquires, are included on this album. The Exotics began as a rock and roll band in 1959, but by 1966 were recording psych-pop and folk-rock gems. They released three singles, one of them, 'Come With Me,' reaching the top ten. The Esquires formed in 1965 and recorded four singles, mixing folk-rock with a hard edged sound. The wild 'Come On Come On' and 'Judgment Day' are what make The Esquires legendary today. Dallas '66...

“This is an essential document of Bill Evans's quintessential trio performing at its peak. Evans showcases his unique sensitivity at the piano throughout, while Scott La Faro displays breathtaking virtuosity on his bass, and near-telepathy with drummer Paul Motian.
La Faro's tragic death a year later would profoundly affect Evans and his music, making these historically vital performances indispensable for jazz fans.
Recorded over various dates: March 12th, 1960 (tracks 1-3), March 19th...

“Pianist / composer Orrin Evans’ Third Album for Smoke Sessions Records, #knowingishalfthebattle, delivers the kind of edge-walking spontaneity that is familiar to anyone who’s ever seen him perform live. It is a raw, electrifying date that teams him with a pair of renowned guitarists who are also, not coincidentally, native sons of Evans’ own hometown of Philadelphia: Kevin Eubanks and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Invigorated by a thrilling sense of looseness and in-the-moment invention—an “anything could happen”...

We did a deep dig into the lost warehouse to come up with these; they are new and unplayed, but they’ve been sitting for over 30 years and there may be small corner dings, seam splits from travel, etc etc.
These are the original issues on Points East, which was ReR’s pre-CD vinyl label ‘dedicated solely to new music from Central Europe’.

“Der Expander des Fortschritts was founded in 1986. The “risk group” described itself as “pop musique concrète” or “abstract pop”. Der Expander des...

Showing its age a little bit, but this is overall a very listenable radio broadcast from 42 years ago!

"Live archive release from the British folk legends. From 1974 with the classic line up of Sandy Denny, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, Jerry Donahue, Dave Swarbrick, and Trevor Lucas.
Recorded at the famous Long Island club My Father's Place. Sandy Denny had rejoined the band for this tour and the material was a mixture of solo material and songs associated with the band. The recording has a...

First-ever vinyl reissue. This is a deluxe re-release from the master tape, in a hand-numbered edtion of 1000.
In the 40-page, lp-sized insert there is the usual Garden Of Delights detailed band history in German and English, a detailed discography, as well as plenty of cover and label reproductions, many poster repros, and photographs of the artists.
From 1973, this is the 1st, quite rare, private-issue & best release by this German quartet. Mostly instrumental progressive influenced by Pink...

“For a gig that was recorded unproessionally in 1980 the sound quality is definitely more than good! This little gem is a must for any Fall fan, the band sound tight and edgy, clearly at the beginning a seminal career.”

Go on! You know you can hear Mark E singing the title before you hear a note of this! "A-NEW. FAKS. A-MER-JA!"

This was the final studio release by The Fall. Opinions varied then and now that everyone knows that this was the final studio release by The Fall, even more so. As always!

“The Fall's New Facts Emerge opens with a track that sounds a bit like a mean-spirited parody of the Fall, as an incomprehensible Mark E. Smith spouts gibberish over some random noise hovering in the...

Chris Pyne-trombone
Ray Warleight-alto sax, flute
Tony Roberts-tenor sax, flute, bass clarinet
Peter Lemer-piano
Danny Thompson-bass
John Cox-drums

“Continuing Turtle Records exploration into previously un-released historic British Jazz.
The unsung band leader and drummer (Fat) John Cox led several modern jazz line ups through the 1960s, and rather like Alexis Korner in the Blues and John Mayall in R&B, his bands were incubators of young and talented English musical...

“This underground acid folk mega rarity was originally a private pressing for the tiny Nicro label. The album has since been reissued but the original pressing remains as one of the most valuable folk albums out there. It's not hard to guess that the sound quality of this record is very lo-fi but in my opinion it's a good thing in this album's case.
Songs such as "Flowers", "Sad Eyed Lady", "Piscean Ride" and "Angel" for example are really nice psych folk tracks. The album includes 14 songs and...

“From the polyglot border region of Ticino in Switzerland - well-known for its beautiful Lake Maggiore and the International Film Festival in Locarno - comes Final Step, the seven-member band of guitarist Matteo Finali. Live @ Il Magazzino is the band's third album since its formation in 2003. The diverse musical backgrounds of all the band members shine through on the album: a fusion of jazz, rock, funk, blues and ethnic music. The album was recorded in the studio of Mauro Fiero, who also produced the...

Firesign's fourth album and a classic of comedy/not comedy. And at a fantastic price. Learn all the lines like I did in High School and dazzle/bore your friends! This picks up exactly where "Don't Crush" left off, with the familiar sound of...
