nihilist spasm band: no record (CD)

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:00:46 +0300

Nihilist Spasm Band - No Record CD.

One of very few indie label releases on Spin Magazine's list of 100 top counter-cultural music, ahead of legends like Mulatu Astatke, Brigitte Fontaine, Parson Sound, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra and His Solar Arkestra, Harry Partch, and Os Mutantes. Zowie! "In 1965, eight guys from London, Ontario, decided to start a free-improv group - 'free' to the point of building their own instruments, which they decided couldn't be set up to produce specific pitches. The band got together once a week with their electric kazoos and kludged-together guitars and Art Pratten's 'pratt-a-various.' Their vocalist, schoolteacher Bill Exley, banged on a cooking pot and bellowed hilariously about stupidity and destruction and Canada. They didn't treat what they were doing as an advanced, visionary form of experimental music, but as a big, stupid, fun, ecstatic noise. By the '90s, noise artists finally recognized NSB as their ancestors - and, almost 50 years after they started, the surviving members of the Nihilist Spasm Band still play every Monday night while their children haunt loft spaces the world over." -Spin "The record youre holding is one of the masterworks of that big gray area of noise/weirdo/freak-out music. Its still hard to believe that 'No Record' was released in 1968. This was a time when popular music was still growing up, and these outsider guys from Canada came out of nowhere and made this mindfuck of record that was years ahead of itself. And as with albums like 'Trout Mask Replica', and 'The Faust Tapes', it still sounds fresh today. 'No Record' is mandatory listening." ~Lasse Marhaug. From the master tapes.

Die-cut sleeve

The English hard rock band Stray released their self-titled debut album back in 1970. In their early years they were influenced by the psychedelic and acid rock music. These influences are combined with their progressive and hard rock outfit. The different melodies of their energetic songs marks one of the greatest impressions of early metal. The 9-minute "All In Your Mind" fades in with drums and cymbals ticking away on a steady rhythm, before the guitar enters with one of the first of many riffs. "In Reverse/Some Say" has everything from dual guitar lines, minor chord progressions ala Black Sabbath, and galloping pacing to boot. Two of the many highlights on this versatile record which brought this UK band a cult following.

Stray didn't achieve any commercial success with its record releases, but proved to be a popular draw on the local club scene in the '70s. In 2003 they supported Iron Maiden on several of their European dates.

180 grams audiophile vinyl
Including the hits "Sinnerman" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out"

Nina Simone was one of the best Blues singers of the 20th century.

Only someone the likes of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith had the power to lay a soul bare like she could, as her stripped-down 'Be My Husband' shows. Naked like a field-holler, this song would later capture the imagination of Jeff Buckley and Antony Hegarty.

Also on this record are classics such as 'Nobody Knows When You're Down And Out', originally sung by Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday's signature song 'Strange Fruit', as well as a Nina Simone favorite: 'Sinnerman'. There are few songs that capture the Spirit of religion, redemption, and the fear of God as much as this ten-minute race of a song about a man trying to outrun the Devil. It's no wonder it was used in the key-scene of 'The Thomas Crown Affair' and sampled by the likes of Kanye West, Talib Kweli and Felix da Housecat.

Re-released for the first time on vinyl since 1965, we hope we do 'Pastel Blues' justice.

sagittarius: present tense (coloured) (LP)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 19:58:23 +0300

If there were ever two pivotal figures in Sunshine Pop, they would be writers/producers/musicians Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher. Gary was a personal friend of Brian Wilson and hence co-wrote and produced a lot of the early Beach Boys material. But he also had a hand in the careers of The Byrds and Dick Dale. Curt also worked with the Beach Boys and the Byrds, and was a pioneer in the warm, cheerful and upbeat sounds with prominent vocal harmonies and sophisticated production techniques. Put both of them in a studio and you get Sagittarius, whose 1967 debut 'Present Tense' captures the sounds of sunny California and locks it into its grooves perfectly. Now available on vinyl for the first time in over 25 years with remastered audio! • 180 grams audiophile vinyl • Remastered Audio"

1973 classic from one of the legends of cosmic country rock who on completion of the album his fondness for drugs and high living caught up with him and he did not live long enough to see it reach record stores.

Morphine was an American alternative rock group formed by Mark Sandman, Dana Colley, and Jerome Deupree in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1989. The band combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, giving the band an unusual sound.

The band enjoyed positive critical appraisal. In the United States the band was embraced and promoted by the indie rock community, including public and college radio stations and MTV's 120 Minutes. Internationally the band enjoyed high-profile success, especially in Belgium, Portugal, France and Australia.

Cure for Pain is the second album by Morphine, originally released in 1993. The tracks "Sheila" and "In Spite of Me" were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 1994 independent film Spanking the Monkey.

The video for "Thursday" appeared on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head and the track "Buena" appears in the first season of The Sopranos.

thelonious monk: straight no chaser (LP)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 19:55:29 +0300

A few years after recording Straight, No Chaser, Thelonious Monk disappeared from the public eye. But as the years passed, more people became aware of the seminal role he played in the development in jazz as both pianist and composer, creating a standard of excellence that many musicians after him aspire to. "

Produced by Teo Macero, who was also responsible for legendary albums such as Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue and Dave Brubeck's Time Out!, Monk's Straight, No Chaser is a classic in its own right. It's the last album the talented pianist and composer recorded with his quartet consisting of Larry Gales on bass, Ben Riley on drums and his musical soul mate Charlie Rouse on tenor sax. It includes a light yet mature version of one of his standards; "Straight, No Chaser" is 'one idea played again and again, each time in a different part of the measure and with a different ending', and highlights some stellar action between Monk and Rouse. â– 180 grams audiophile vinyl "

Feat. The number 1 hit singles "No Time", "No Sugar Tonight" and "American Woman"

American Woman is the sixth and most succesful studio album by Canadian rock band The Guess Who. It is the last album which features lead guitarist Randy Bachman. He brings some of the best guitar riffs the band has ever recorded, especially on the hit single "American Woman", later successfully covered by Lenny Kravitz. The times of war (Vietnam) are prominent on the album and their anger can be heard in songs like "No Time" and "No Sugar Tonight". The blues and rhythms are mixed with their hard rocking guitar riffs and drum rolls, but a songs like "Talisman" is pure folk in the traditional English style. All by all, it's their best work and it showed their development in the variety of music.

The Canadian rock band The Guess Who found international success during the late 1960s until the mid-1970s. They were formed as a garage rock band and changed during the years to a more psychedelic and pop rock approach.

chicken shack: 100 ton chicken (ccoloured) (LP)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 19:52:16 +0300

180 gram audiophile vinyl

100 Ton Chicken is the third album by the UK Brit Blues band Chicken Shack. Originally released in 1969, the follow-up album of their first two albums 40 Blue Fingers Freshly Packed And Ready To Serve [MOVLP104] and OK Ken? [MOVLP1039] was Paul Raymond's first album as a member of Chicken Shack. Raymond replaced Christine Perfect, who left the band when she married John McVie of Fleetwood Mac.

Terence Ibbott was in charge of the album artwork for 100 Ton Chicken, which was bizarre as always. The recordings sounded quite different and gave The Shack what they were looking for - a "heavier" sound. On the album Chicken Shack covered Clarence Carter tunes ("The Road Of Love" and "Weekend Love"), a great Freddie King tune "Look Ma, I'm Cryin'", Lowell Fulson's "Reconsider Baby" and Clarence Gatemouth Brown's "Midnight Hour".

Before he went on a highly successful solo streak, Rory Gallagher fronted Taste - a highly influential Irish Blues Rock power trio that sound-wise had many things in common with contemporaries Cream. Besides Gallagher, band members in Taste were Charlie McCracken on bass (who jammed with Steve Winwood and Spencer Davis Group just prior to their breakthrough) and John Wilson, who used to kick the drums with Them before their popularity soared. Charlie and John lay out perfect rhythms for a very young Gallagher in his pre-twenties, who showed heaps of talent for making his guitar sing the way only Rory can. Taste's eponymous debut album from 1969 contains harder edged Rock jams like "Blister On The Moon" but also Blues traditionals like Leadbelly's "Leaving Blues" and "Catfish". Crucial material for any Blues or Rock fan. ■180 gram audiophile vinyl "

180 gram audiophile vinyl

Demon Fuzz was an afro-rock group of which its members had all immigrated to Britain from the Commonwealth countries. The band's name means "devil's children or bad policemen". They originally played soul, but the music they heard during a trip to Morocco lead to a change in their style to what has been described as a blend of funk, rock, jazz and African music.

Released in 1970, Afreaka!, demonstrates their excellence in playing psychedelic soul, dub-heavy funk, progressive rock, afro-jazz and black acid rock. Demon Fuzz these days are amongst the most bootlegged and sampled bands from the early 70s British underground.

All tracks were credited to Ray Rhoden and W. Raphael Joseph, except for the second track, which was credited to W. Mitchel and Paddy Corea. Corea was also credited with "all arrangements".

It was a Billboard "4-STAR" selection in June 1971.

In the psychedelic late sixties there was a lively music scene in the Canterbury area that revolved around the band The Wilde Flowers. They never recorded much themselves, however, but after they disbanded other influential bands were formed from their ashes: Gong, Soft Machine, and, most importantly, Caravan. Caravan's eponymous debut was released in 1968. It was considered a groundbreaking album capturing the freakish and exploratory moods of the times. Their sound went much further than the changing styles of the contemporary underground and that's what distinguished Caravan from other bands in their genre. 180 grams audiophile vinyl""

Death Walks Behind You is the second studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It is commonly thought of as the archetypal Atomic Rooster album, recorded by the 'classic' line-up of Vincent Crane, John Du Cann and Paul Hammond.

It is, critically and commercially, their most successful album and often hailed as a classic of the progressive rock genre. It also produced the hit single "Tomorrow Night" (UK #11), which became one of the band's best-known songs. The album's cover features the William Blake monotype Nebuchadnezzar.

The title track was covered on record in 1992 by Paradise Lost, in 2000 by Bigelf (on their album Money Machine) and in 2012 by Swedish death metal band NonExist.

A repackaging and remastering job restores the original artwork in all its gatefold glory.

180 gram audiophile vinyl

The incipient incarnation of Atomic Rooster with Vincent Crane (organ/vocals), Nick Graham (vocals/bass), and Carl Palmer (drums) was together just long enough to document its 1970 debut. Prior to the last-minute addition of Graham-- the only bassist Atomic Rooster ever had -- the band emerged from the remnants of the then recently defunct Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

The material was primarily courtesy of Crane and consisted of heavy and versatile sides. The versatility is evident throughout the impressive array of styles ranging from the folk-inspired pastoral songs via bluesy horn arrangement and contrasting driving rockers and jazzy spells. Lyrically, Crane reveals his penchant for dark imagery. Support at the time was bolstered by strong live appearances, positive word-of-mouth, and significant BBC Radio sessions

the end: introspection (CD)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:13:19 +0300

Label: Progressive Line

Released in 1969, Introspection stands apart from most British psychedelic albums of its era. Rather than relying on extended improvisation or heavy blues riffs, The End created a richly orchestrated work that combines baroque pop, psychedelia and progressive rock with remarkable sophistication. String arrangements, brass, woodwinds and imaginative vocal harmonies are woven into the band's rock foundation, giving the album an almost cinematic quality from beginning to end.

Produced by Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, the record reveals a group willing to explore ambitious musical ideas without losing sight of melody. Every track offers carefully crafted arrangements, balancing intimate acoustic moments with colourful orchestration and subtle psychedelic textures. Although overlooked at the time of its original release, Introspection has since become recognised as one of the finest examples of late-1960s British orchestral psychedelia, rewarding listeners with its elegance, originality and enduring musical charm.

Label: Black Rose Records

Recorded in Montreal during the early 1970s, Ellison is one of the great lost albums of Canadian hard rock. The band drew freely from heavy blues, psychedelia and progressive rock, but instead of following any established formula they created an album with its own distinctive character. Powerful guitar work, unexpected shifts in mood and imaginative arrangements give the music a restless energy that constantly keeps the listener engaged.

From the driving intensity of Unchanged World to the expansive atmosphere of Untruth Story and the haunting finale Freedom, the album reveals a group equally comfortable with concise rock songs and more adventurous musical ideas. Although only a handful of original copies circulated at the time, the record gradually developed a reputation among collectors as one of Canada's most rewarding underground releases, admired not simply for its rarity but for the strength of its songwriting and performances. Today, Ellison stands as an important rediscovery from the golden age of North American heavy progressive rock.

Label: On The Air

The recordings collected on BBC Sessions 1968–1972 offer a fascinating portrait of Egg during the years in which they established themselves as one of Britain's most original progressive rock bands. Recorded for various BBC radio programmes, these performances capture the trio in a more direct and immediate setting than their studio albums, allowing their remarkable musicianship and inventive compositions to shine without studio embellishment.

Dave Stewart's distinctive Hammond organ, Mont Campbell's melodic bass playing and Clive Brooks' precise yet energetic drumming combine to produce a sound that moves effortlessly between progressive rock, jazz and contemporary classical influences. Alongside familiar album material, these sessions document the band's constantly evolving arrangements and improvisational confidence, making this collection an invaluable companion to Egg's celebrated studio recordings.

The Earth demo sessions are comprised of 3 heavy bluesy numbers and one cover of "Blue Suede Shoes" already when they chaged their name to Black Sabbath as a bonus number. The F.H.B. have a similar sound to Sabbath but also makes remember other bands of the time like Horse, Fuzzy Duck or even Hard Stuff. Four songs were recorded with good quality sound as a demo in 1973 featuring the heavy blues guitar wailing of this later-to-be Metal master.

Remastered and pitch-corrected sound
Insert with liner notes and photos

Originally privately released in 1968, Song Of A Gypsy has become one of the most celebrated and elusive American psychedelic albums of its era. Pressed in tiny quantities on Damon's own Ankh label and barely distributed at the time, original copies have since become prized collector's pieces, while the music itself has developed an equally formidable reputation among fans of underground psych.

Behind Damon was California singer and songwriter David Del Conte, whose highly individual style combined psychedelic rock, Eastern-flavoured melodies and an unusually intimate, mystical atmosphere. Fuzz guitar, finger cymbals, hand percussion and Damon's haunting vocal delivery create a sound that feels simultaneously fragile, exotic and deeply psychedelic.

After spending time performing around Southern California during the early 1960s, Damon eventually moved away from the conventional club circuit. During a period in Big Sur, an encounter with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar helped inspire the distinctive five-string guitar approach and Eastern elements that became central to the album's sound. Guitarist Charlie Carey and a small circle of musicians joined Damon for the recordings.

The title track immediately establishes the record's hypnotic character, while Poor Poor Genie, Don't You Feel Me and Did You Ever combine dreamlike vocals with piercing fuzz guitar and unusual percussion. The second side continues the atmosphere through the nocturnal The Night, the beautifully melodic I Feel Your Love and the reflective closing track Road Of Life.

Rediscovered years after its original release, Song Of A Gypsy is now regarded as a cornerstone of private-press psychedelic music: strange, heartfelt and completely unlike the work of most contemporary bands.

captain marryat: captain marryat (LP)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:42:41 +0300

Captain Marryat is one of the legendary obscurities of the early-'70s Scottish underground. Originally privately pressed in 1974 on the band's own Thor label in an edition of only around 150–200 copies and sold mainly at gigs, the album virtually disappeared on release before becoming a highly prized collector's item decades later.

Formed in Glasgow, the five-piece featured Tommy Hendry on vocals, Ian McEleny on guitar, Allan Bryce on organ, Hugh Finnegan on bass and Jimmy Rorrison on drums. Their sound sits squarely in the heavier end of British progressive rock, combining prominent Hammond organ, muscular guitar work and melodic vocals with a raw private-press atmosphere. Fans of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Beggars Opera and Rare Bird should find plenty to enjoy here.

The dramatic Blindness opens the album before the band stretches out on the eight-minute It Happened To Me, packed with organ and guitar interplay. Changes provides the record's most concise and immediately melodic moment, while the instrumental Dance Of Thor closes the album with a final burst of Hammond-driven progressive hard rock. This Guerssen edition features remastered sound and comes with an insert containing liner notes and photos plus a download card.

First Tribute To Black Sabbath documents an extraordinary and little-known chapter in the birth of heavy metal: Scottish band Iron Claw performing Black Sabbath songs at the very moment Sabbath's revolutionary sound was first emerging.

The story began on November 16, 1969, when Iron Claw bassist Alex Wilson recorded Black Sabbath performing at Rugman's Youth Club in Dumfries, Scotland. Deeply impressed by what they heard, the young musicians began adding Sabbath material to their own live set, learning songs directly from concerts and tapes at a time when some of the material had not yet even appeared on record.

The results preserved here are remarkable. Iron Claw's versions of Evil Woman, Wicked World and Sleeping Village / Warning date from around the period of Black Sabbath's debut, while their performances of Fairies Wear Boots and Walpurgis – the early version of War Pigs – were recorded on July 16, 1970, more than two months before Paranoid was released.

Far from polished modern tribute versions, these are raw recordings of teenagers in Scotland absorbing the new language of heavy rock almost as it was being invented. Crushing riffs, primitive amplification and the rough live atmosphere give the performances genuine historical weight as well as enormous appeal to fans of early heavy rock, proto-metal and doom.

Iron Claw would soon develop their own formidable heavy sound, but these recordings capture the group at its very beginning and make a convincing case for them as one of the earliest – perhaps the earliest – bands to build a repertoire around Black Sabbath material.

Hard Rock by Earthen Vessel is one of the great cult records of the early-'70s American Christian psychedelic underground – an explosive collision of spiritual lyrics, male and female vocals and some seriously heavy fuzz-wah guitar.

Formed in Lansing, Michigan, Earthen Vessel emerged at the dawn of the American Jesus Rock movement but sounded considerably heavier and stranger than the term might suggest. The group combined its Christian message with the volume and intensity of contemporary psychedelic and hard rock, creating music packed with distorted guitar, pounding rhythm section, keyboards, harmonica and extended instrumental passages.

The album was recorded in Nashville in 1971 with a line-up featuring Sharon Keel on lead vocals, keyboards and percussion, Dave Caudill on electric and acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica, Ken Fitch on keyboards, vocals and percussion, John Sprunger on bass, vocals and trumpet, and Ed Johnson on drums.

Opener Life Everlasting immediately sets the tone with its combination of impassioned vocals and scorching guitar, while You Can and Let Jesus Bring You Back push the band's raw, garage-like psychedelic sound even harder. The album's centrepiece is the lengthy I've Been Walkin', an extended heavy psych workout driven by fuzz guitar and an insistent rhythm section. Coming Home and Get High complete an album that remains one of the most distinctive examples of early American Christian psychedelia.

Musically, think Jefferson Airplane colliding with the primitive force of The Stooges, with plenty of fuzz, wah-wah and acid-rock jamming thrown into the mix. Long prized by collectors, Hard Rock has become a genuine underground classic for fans of private-press psych, proto-heavy rock and obscure early-'70s American rock.

united states of existence: lavender glory trip (numbered) (LP)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:31:57 +0300

• LIMITED TO 310 NUMBERED COPIES! • First new United States Of Existence album in decades • Mellotron, sitar, fuzz guitar and richly layered psychedelic production • Includes insert with liner notes by Richard Allen • Includes download card • Recommended for fans of Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Association

One of the pioneering names of the American neo-psychedelic underground, United States Of Existence unexpectedly return with Lavender Glory Trip, a full-length album that reconnects the musicians with the colourful '60s-inspired sound they first explored during the late 1970s and '80s.

The project began when drummer Gary Schwartz came across an unfinished composition from the band's past. Revisiting the material gradually opened the door to a much larger idea, with former members once again contributing to the music despite being geographically scattered. Remote recording made the reunion possible, but the resulting album retains the playful, handmade quality that characterised their early work.

Lavender Glory Trip moves freely through psychedelic pop, sunshine pop, baroque arrangements and more experimental territory. Mellotron, sitar, fuzz guitar and fuzz bass sit alongside layered harmonies and unexpected studio textures, giving the album a deliberately kaleidoscopic feel rather than simply recreating the band's vintage sound.

Some pieces grew from fragments and ideas dating back to earlier periods, while others were developed specifically for these sessions. That combination gives the record an unusual sense of continuity: familiar psychedelic ingredients are present throughout, but they are rearranged with the freedom of musicians returning to the style many years later without trying to reproduce their younger selves exactly.

Tracks such as Gory Glory Hallelujah, We Love The Sun and Lavender lean into colourful psych-pop, while the second side becomes increasingly atmospheric and reflective through Without Within, The Noise Of Living and Sleeping Beauty Revisited. The result is a genuine continuation of the United States Of Existence story rather than a nostalgia exercise: melodic, eccentric and unmistakably psychedelic.

writing on the wall: the power of the picts (LP)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:29:10 +0300

EAN: 4255805501801

• Legendary 1969 Scottish heavy psych / proto-progressive classic • Newly remastered sound • Original artwork reproduced in a hard-cardboard sleeve • Includes insert with extensive liner notes by David Wells • Features contributions from original drummer Jimmy Hush plus rare photos and memorabilia • Recommended for fans of Deep Purple, Arthur Brown, Family, The Doors and early Wishbone Ash

A landmark of the late-'60s British underground, Writing On The Wall's sole studio album The Power Of The Picts occupies the fascinating territory where psychedelia, progressive rock and the emerging heaviness of the new decade collide.

The group began life in Edinburgh in 1966 as The Jury, initially building their repertoire around American soul and R&B. As the psychedelic revolution gathered momentum, exposure to bands such as Love and The Doors pushed them towards a darker and considerably heavier style. Hammond organ, distorted guitar, dramatic vocals and long instrumental passages became central to a sound that was already pointing towards both progressive hard rock and proto-metal.

By the end of the decade, Writing On The Wall had developed an imposing live reputation. Singer Linnie Paterson, guitarist Willy Finlayson, keyboard player Bill Scott, bassist Jake Scott and drummer Jimmy Hush combined powerful musicianship with an unusually theatrical stage show, making them regular attractions at key underground venues including London's Middle Earth and the Marquee Club. Their growing profile also brought them to the attention of John Peel, resulting in BBC sessions for his influential Top Gear programme.

Released in 1969 on the short-lived Middle Earth label, The Power Of The Picts captures the band at their most adventurous. It Came On A Sunday opens with a forceful mixture of guitar and organ, while Mrs. Cooper's Pie moves deeper into psychedelic territory. The hard-hitting Ladybird demonstrates just how heavy the group could sound, before the extended Aries stretches into strange, theatrical and progressive territory.

The second side is equally strong, moving from the ominous Bogeyman and organ-rich Shadow Of Man through the driving Taskers Successor and atmospheric Hill Of Dreams before closing with Virginia Waters. Throughout the record, Bill Scott's keyboards provide a dense backdrop for Finlayson's guitar while Paterson's distinctive vocals heighten the album's dark and dramatic personality.

Writing On The Wall had the sound, live following and ambition to become one of Britain's major heavy progressive groups, even appearing before a huge audience at the Rio Song Festival in Brazil. Management difficulties and unsuccessful label negotiations ultimately prevented that breakthrough, leaving The Power Of The Picts as the group's only original album and one of the great cult records of the period.

weird herald: saratoga james / just yesterday (7")

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:25:59 +0300

• LIMITED TO 315 NUMBERED COPIES! • First-ever reissue of the ultra-rare 1968 promotional single • Vintage-style picture sleeve • Includes insert with liner notes by Cam Cobb, author of the Skip Spence biography Weighted Down • Essential West Coast psychedelic folk-rock for fans of Moby Grape, The Byrds and early Donovan

A beautiful lost fragment of late-'60s California psychedelia, this single brings back the only two Weird Herald tracks that managed to reach vinyl during the band's original lifetime. The recordings first appeared in 1968 as a scarce promotional 45 connected with a run of shows alongside Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete, while the full album Weird Herald had been working on remained unreleased.

Based in Los Gatos, California, Weird Herald grew out of the San Jose and Saratoga folk and coffeehouse scene. At the heart of the group were guitarists and songwriters Billy Dean Andrus and Paul Ziegler, musicians whose circle overlapped with key figures of the Bay Area scene. Andrus had been a close friend of Skip Spence of Moby Grape, while the band also had ties with Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna.

Saratoga James, written by Andrus, is a haunting acoustic folk-psych song inspired by his friend Jim Fletcher. Delicate finger-picked guitar and close vocal harmonies give it a dreamlike quality, with an introspective mood that recalls the more fragile side of mid-'60s psychedelic folk.

Paul Ziegler's Just Yesterday is equally striking but slightly more relaxed, blending shimmering folk-rock with gentle country influences and beautifully understated harmonies. Its warm West Coast atmosphere places it somewhere between The Byrds, Moby Grape and the mellower corners of the San Francisco psychedelic scene.

Together these two songs reveal the softer side of a band whose story was cut short before its planned album could appear. A superb archival 45 and an especially appealing discovery for collectors of obscure California psych and folk-rock.

Side A A. Saratoga James

Side B B. Just Yesterday

united states of existence: return to the psychedelic / shadows of rainboes (7")

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:25:26 +0300

• LIMITED TO 314 NUMBERED COPIES! • Two essential early neo-psychedelic tracks from 1981–83 • Faux-'60s Japanese-style picture sleeve • Recommended for fans of Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, The Association, Bomp! and Bam Caruso

Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, United States Of Existence were among the earliest bands to deliberately revive the sounds and spirit of mid-to-late-'60s psychedelia. Formed in 1978 from the ashes of progressive outfit Klangfarb, the group immersed themselves in vintage instruments, analogue recording techniques, garage rock and obscure psychedelic records at a time when such influences were far from fashionable.

The band's goal was not simply to borrow psychedelic imagery but to recreate the atmosphere and production methods of the original era. Vintage organs, fuzz guitars, twelve-string textures, theremin and deliberately period-styled arrangements gave their recordings an authenticity that helped establish them as pioneers of the emerging neo-psychedelic movement.

Return To The Psychedelic is their defining anthem, a gloriously energetic celebration of the '60s psych sound which first reached a wider audience through Greg Shaw's legendary Battle Of The Garages compilation in 1981. Its ringing guitars, swirling keyboards and exuberant vocals made it an instant underground classic.

On the flip, Shadows Of Rainbows offers another superb slice of vintage-styled psychedelia. Originally appearing on the cult The Rebel Kind compilation in 1983, it combines melodic garage-pop instincts with colourful psychedelic arrangements and the band's unmistakably authentic analogue feel.

Together for the first time on one 45, these two tracks capture United States Of Existence at the forefront of the early-'80s psychedelic revival – years before neo-psych became a recognised movement.

Track Listing:

Side A A. Return To The Psychedelic

Side B B. Shadows Of Rainbows

sound barrier: (my) baby's gone / hey hey (7")

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:24:47 +0300

First-ever official reissue
Picture sleeve
Limited to just 357 numbered copies

A fabulous piece of obscure American '60s garage, The Sound Barrier's sole 45 pairs the infectious (My) Baby's Gone with the tougher, driving Hey Hey. Originally released in 1967 on the band's own Zounds label, the single has become an exceptionally difficult garage collectible.

The group grew out of a circle of junior-high-school friends in Salem, Ohio, initially playing under names including The Spectrums and The Zounds. Guitarist Paul Hess and drummer Larry Davis were central to the band, whose enthusiasm for the British Invasion quickly developed into a raw and energetic local garage sound.

Hey Hey, written by Hess, had already been recorded in an earlier form before the band returned to the studio and cut the version heard on the single. Another recording originally known as Brain Disturbance was retitled (My) Baby's Gone, and the group adopted the name The Sound Barrier for the resulting release.

Both sides are prime examples of regional American teen garage: punchy rhythms, jangling and biting guitars, urgent vocals and the youthful excitement that makes privately released mid-'60s singles so addictive. Members of The Sound Barrier would later move into the heavier psychedelic group Noah, adding another fascinating chapter to the story.

Track Listing:

Side A A. (My) Baby's Gone

ngozi family / crossbones: hi babe / really (7")

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:23:13 +0300

Edition: Limited and individually numbered edition of 514 copies
Series: Guerssen 30th Anniversary Collection
Packaging: Textured fold-over sleeve, stickered protective outer bag and poly-lined black inner sleeve

This strictly limited split single brings together two ferocious examples of 1970s Zamrock, the uniquely Zambian fusion of psychedelic rock, hard rock, garage energy, funk rhythms and African musical traditions.

Ngozi Family’s “Hi Babe” originally appeared on the highly collectable Day of Judgement album. Led by singer and guitarist Paul Ngozi, the track is driven by a primitive, heavily distorted riff and one of the most intense fuzz-wah guitar solos found on any Zamrock recording.

Paul Ngozi was one of the central figures of Zambia’s 1970s rock movement. His raw guitar tone, direct songwriting and forceful stage presence gave Ngozi Family a harder and more aggressive sound than many of their contemporaries, frequently approaching garage rock, proto-punk and early heavy metal.

On the reverse, Crossbones contribute “Really,” taken from their exceptionally rare 1976 album Wise Man. Thick fuzz guitar, heavy drums and a dark, Black Sabbath-influenced riff create a crushing example of Zambian underground hard rock.

Crossbones emerged from the same vibrant Lusaka scene as Ngozi Family, WITCH, Amanaz and Peace. Their music combined psychedelic guitar and heavy Western rock influences with Zambian rhythms and songwriting, resulting in one of the most powerful albums of the original Zamrock period.

Issued for Guerssen’s 30th anniversary in an individually numbered edition of only 514 copies, this 45 places two of the heaviest Zamrock recordings together for the first time.

Track listing:

Side A Ngozi Family – Hi Babe – 4:03

Edition: Limited and individually numbered edition of 314 copies
Series: Guerssen 30th Anniversary Collection
Packaging: Textured fold-over sleeve, stickered protective outer bag and poly-lined black inner sleeve

This strictly limited split single brings together two previously unreleased examples of late-1960s and early-1970s British psychedelia.

Mandrake Paddle Steamer’s “Pandemonium Shadow Show”, also known as “Cooger & Dark,” was recorded in 1968 but remained unissued at the time. The track combines danceable rhythms, prominent Hammond organ, fuzz guitar, powerful vocals and adventurous progressive touches.

Mandrake Paddle Steamer formed in Walthamstow, London, in 1967 around a group of art-school students. Unlike many contemporary beat groups that gradually adopted psychedelic influences, the band pursued an experimental and progressive direction from its earliest performances.

During their brief existence, they shared bills with Pink Floyd, The Nice and Vanilla Fudge, appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival and held a residency at Hamburg’s Star-Club. Their only contemporary single, “Strange Walking Man,” was recorded at Abbey Road and released by Parlophone in 1969, but their other studio recordings remained hidden for decades.

On the reverse, Birmingham cult group Fairfield Ski contribute the previously unreleased early-1970s recording “No Good Child.” Driven by swirling Hammond organ, catchy vocals and heavy drums, the song occupies the fertile territory between psychedelic pop, progressive rock and hard-edged underground rock.

Limited to only 314 individually numbered copies, this Guerssen anniversary release presents two outstanding discoveries from the British psychedelic archives.

Track listing:

Side A Mandrake Paddle Steamer – Pandemonium Shadow Show – 4:18

Source: Original master tapes

Before the formation of cult psychedelic group The Wizards From Kansas, guitarists John Paul Coffin and Hal Pierce played together in the short-lived Kansas band In Black And White. These two previously unreleased recordings preserve the group at the point where melodic American folk rock was beginning to develop into a heavier and more experimental psychedelic sound.

Both tracks were recorded in 1967 at Audio Lab in Prairie Village, Kansas, by a young Stephen Barncard. Barncard would later become a respected producer and recording engineer, working with artists including David Crosby, the Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage.

The A-side, “Nowhere This Time,” is a moody psychedelic garage number built around sharp fuzz guitar, echoing vocals and a tense, increasingly forceful arrangement. Its raw guitar tone and emotional atmosphere reveal an early version of the exploratory sound that Coffin and Pierce would later pursue with The Wizards From Kansas.

“How Can I Make It” offers a contrasting side of the group. Its chiming guitars, vocal harmonies and reflective songwriting place it closer to the melodic folk-rock sound of The Byrds, while subtle psychedelic touches prevent it from becoming a conventional mid-1960s pop recording.

The original master tapes were preserved by Stephen Barncard, who transferred and remastered the recordings in 2025. Issued as part of Guerssen’s 30th-anniversary series, this hand-numbered 45 finally gives these two lost 1967 performances their first physical release.

Format: 7-inch vinyl split single, 45 RPM
Edition: Limited and individually numbered edition of 313 copies worldwide
Barcode: 4255805501481

This strictly limited split 45 brings together two outstanding examples of British freakbeat at its heaviest and most adventurous.

The Attack’s “Magic in the Air” was recorded in 1967 but remained unreleased at the time. The group’s record company reportedly considered John Du Cann’s fierce, distorted guitar sound too heavy for commercial release. Driven by slashing guitar, urgent vocals and a powerful psychedelic charge, the song has since become one of The Attack’s best-known archival recordings.

Formed in London during the height of the British beat explosion, The Attack combined mod energy with increasingly experimental arrangements. Their line-up included guitarist John Du Cann, who later became a key member of Andromeda and Atomic Rooster.

On the reverse, Scottish group The Voice deliver the dark and apocalyptic “Train to Disaster.” Originally recorded during the mid-1960s, the track combines heavily distorted guitar, ominous lyrics and a relentless rhythm, creating a sound that anticipated both heavy psychedelia and punk.

Members of The Voice were connected with Robert de Grimston’s controversial Process Church of the Final Judgment, adding another unusual chapter to the history surrounding this scarce Scottish group. Together, these two sides capture the rawer, darker edge of the British psychedelic underground.

Side A The Attack – Magic in the Air

medusa: medusa (LP)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:20:41 +0300

Proto-doom metal / stoner / hard rock from Medusa, a Mexican band born in 1972—featuring their ultra-rare early ’70s singles alongside later recordings that keep the same gritty, no-frills edge.

Formed on Día de los Muertos in 1972, Medusa rose out of Mexico City determined to create heavy Spanish-language rock charged with social conscience and poetic intensity. Guitarist Luis Antonio “Toño” Urquiza, drummer Víctor Moreno, and bassist/vocalist Javier Plascencia forged a sound shaped by Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath, and fueled by the era’s upheaval—the 1968 Student Movement, the 1971 Halconazo, and the cultural shockwave of the Avándaro Festival.

Peers of acts such as Peace & Love, the Dug Dug’s, and El Ritual, Medusa quickly gained a reputation for thunderous live shows and unapologetically political fire. They issued their first (now near-impossible-to-find) single in 1973, followed by an EP in 1974. But their refusal to soften their vision got them dropped before finishing a full-length album, sending them underground for decades of self-produced recordings.

Even with scant media support, Medusa stayed active into the mid-’80s, performing everywhere from stadiums and television to prisons and “hoyos fonkis.” After roughly ten years away, they returned in 1994 to a new generation that embraced them as Mexican trailblazers of heavy metal and early stoner rock. With Jaime García Mares later joining the lineup, they cemented that legacy with a major national TV appearance in 2006.

By 2015—after occasional gigs and demos—Medusa were celebrated by Tianguis del Chopo and acknowledged by the National Sound Archive as the founders of stoner rock in Mexico, inspiring books and a Rolling Stone feature on Mexican rock. Not long after, the band brought a 43-year run to a close as the members shifted to personal projects.

Now, drawing from recordings recovered from Víctor Moreno’s personal archive, Medusa’s earliest material—four essential ’70s tracks—appears at last in LP form, expanded with additional raw, unfiltered sessions from the ’80s and ’90s.
