=====Import DVD=====
Carrack,Paul - I Know That Name/In Concert $29.95
Deep Purple - Live $20.95
NTSC/Region 0. DVD from one of the great pioneering bands of Heavy Metal in all its live
wildness. Screaming guitars, machine-gun drumming, brooding, mystical lyrics, and the
raw-throated singing of Ian Gillan: These live performances remind us why dozens of
younger bands patterned themselves on Deep Purple, and why Heavy Metal became an indelible
force in Rock. This is the classic lineup: Ian singing, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon
Lord on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass, and Ian Paice on drums. Interplay among the band
members is intense - with Jon improvising dazzling keyboard sounds and Ritchie swinging
his guitar around his head, while the most propulsive rhythm section in Rock drives them
on. ‘Speed King,’ ‘Child In Time,’ ‘Highway Star,’
‘Wring That Neck,’ ‘Smoke On The Water’ - these and other huge hits
are given powerful treatment here. And as an added excitement, we also get four
mind-blowing performances from one of Ian Gillan’s hard-driving solo projects.
Immortal.

NTSC/Region 0. This DVD contains an astonishing gathering of some of the greatest Jazz
artists of our time: Herbie Hancock, Milton Nascimento, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Marcus
Miller, and others. Deftly captured on video in two Tokyo summers, these artists respond
to the overwhelming enthusiasm of Japanese Jazz fans with improvisatory flights of
unforgettable intensity. Herbie Hancock brings his brilliant pianism to both the concert
grand and the synthesizer. Milton Nascimento sings with all the sweetness and power that
made him one of the authors of the international Brazilian music craze. Al Jarreau brings
the smooth vocal musicianship that has made him a perennial superstar. And Sanborn and
Miller Funk it out, taking their Jazz-Rock fusion roots to new heights. With
‘sidemen’ like Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, Stanley Clarke, Wayne Shorter, Jack
DeJohnette, Miki Howard, Tom Barney, and many others, these mind-blowing sets will be a
rare treat for any Jazz fan. Immortal. 2009.

Rodgers’ The Cosmos Rocks tour, the band were approached to help Ukraine’s
Anti-Aids Foundation reach out to the youth of the country with the message
‘Don’t Let Aids Ruin Your Life'. For Queen + Paul Rodgers - already well
prepared for a tour opening with two nights at Moscow’s SCO arena, it would mean some
drastic rethinking. Despite the seeming impossibility of it, Queen + Paul Rodgers made it
to Freedom Square for the night of September 12, 2008. Over 350,000 Ukrainians came to see
them play and more than 10 million homes watched the show live on television. In all, more
than 20 million took part in what the band recall as 'an unforgettable experience: one of
those rare things in life you know you will never forget. A meeting in Music, but also a
coming together to fight a common enemy'. Features the band performing hits, old and new.

Average White Band - Show Your Hand/How Sweet Can Y $18.95
2009 two CD set containing a trio of albums from the above-average Scottish Funk band:
Show Your Hand (1973), the unreleased How Sweet Can You Get (1974) and their official
sophomore album Average White Band (1974). Their debut album, Show Your Hand, is expanded
to feature eight bonus tracks, seven of which are previously unreleased. The second disc
commences with what was intended to be the band’s second album for MCA, How Sweet Can
You Get?. However MCA rejected it, and it was only ever issued as part of a White Album
package many years later. We have now created its intended sleeve for the first time for
this special release. Producer Arif Mardin heard the songs, signed the band to Atlantic
Records and set about re-recording eight of the songs along with two new compositions. The
resulting album Average White Band was issued in September 1974 and was sitting at the top
of the charts by Christmas (along with 'Pick Up The Pieces'), going on to spend a whole
year in the listings. Edsel.

Deep Purple - Live $17.95
Deep Purple - Live At Inglewood '68 $20.95
2009 archive live release from the British rockers’ Mk 1 line-up. So little evidence
of this line-up's live act remains that this tape, the only surviving recording of the
first incarnation of Deep Purple on stage, is of great interest, with the band exhibiting
a brash confidence in front of 16,000 Cream fans. As a support act, Deep Purple's set was
a little shorter than normal but despite the passing of over 40 years, it's still an
exciting experience. The sound, taken from an original Sony open reel, isn't bad at all
once you get used to the ambience, with just a little distortion in the second number and
someone in the audience heard near the microphone at one or two quiet moments. It was
first released officially several years ago by Sonic Zoom but has been long out of print.
Due to many requests it has now been added to the immensely popular Official Archive
Collection, with a new cover, and a 12 page booklet. Purple.

sessions by Quicksilver's then new line-up of Dino Valente (vocals), John Cipollina
(guitar), David Freiberg (bass & vocals), Greg Elmore (drums), with the British
session pianist Nicky Hopkins. Mainly acoustic, it took place in Corte Madera, California
in late 1969/early 1970.The sound and mixes are excellent. The songs are often
spontaneous, spare and unfinished in places and were likely intended as references for
later development by the group. As such they offer a fascinating work-in-progress glimpse
of this highly-talented group of musicians re-inventing themselves and developing new
material under studio conditions. The booklet's sleeves notes cover the group's
circumstances at the time of the recordings and the featured songs. 12 tracks. Charly.

Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior $15.95
Rich,Buddy & Sweets Edison Qui - Complete 1955 Hollywood Sessio $21.95
In the mid Fifties, Buddy Rich was universally considered to be, technically, the greatest
drummer ever. It was an opinion shared by Norman Granz, who regarded Rich as the paragon
of jazz drummers, and used him in several recording sessions, trusting him as JATP's
timekeeper. These 1955 quintet dates, along with the swinging and melodically tasteful
trumpet of Harry "Sweets" Edison, are among the drummer's best small group
recordings. Both are backed up by some excellent jazzmen. Altoist Sonny Criss is heard in
some searingly pointed solos and Barney Kessel and John Simmons contribute
characteristically superior work, while Jimmy Rowles is wonderfully relaxed and swinging
throughout. A fine example of the natural, spontaneous expression of emotion that is the
mainstream jazz at its best. Fresh Sound. 2009.

basis for the album. The Visitor sees the band benefiting especially from their
collaboration with Vinnie Moore, who joined UFO in autumn 2003 and has made an excellent
impression. It’s no surprise that The Visitor features the same musicality and energy
which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band’s tours in the past five years.
Traditional rock music that could hardly sound more classic, with gritty hooks, Vinnie
Moore’s powerful riffs and leads, and Phil Mogg’s lyrics full of eccentric
humor, as well as a talent for observation and occasionally great depth. Steamhammer.

like to do the same"-Steve Vai.

consists of Folk Legend Sandy Denny's first recordings. The five songs on this LP,

sessions with the Saga label, but before her work with The Strawbs, Fairport Convention
and Fotheringay. The beauty and purity of Sandy's vocals shine through on these haunting
early recordings, setting the template for an all too short career as one of, if not the,
finest British female singers. Steamford Audio.

Psychedelic powers and their set that day has finally been released. The original tapes

No doubt many of you are aware that just a couple weeks ago we lost a true giant of
progressive music. Indeed Hugh Hopper might even be said to be one of the movement's
founding fathers. Over his career he was involved in so many projects and worked with so
many other musicians that I suspect anyone getting this newsletter is bound to have
something in their collection that features Hugh Hopper. We lost him to leukemia on June
7. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article6473171.ece
I'd like to mention that I'll be taking my family on vacation next month. Normally I've
not made announcements of my vacations as they've usually been just a few days at a time
and I always take my laptop with me to stay in contact and keep up with things. In this
case, however, I'll be gone a couple weeks - July 10 - 26 - and will be going to a fairly
remote location technologically speaking - Yellowstone National Park. I called the park
and was told there was no wireless connectivity for most of the park (not to mention no
phones or televisions in any of the accomodations). So it appears I will be taking a break
from technology during this period. You'll be able to send me email or place orders during
this period and the website will still be up. I just won't be able to respond till I
return.
I had initially planned that this newsletter would be a follow up to last week's with more
general imports news. However, there was so much really exciting news coming from our
featured labels that I've decided to put that off. That being said, though, I start the
newsletter with one bit of import pre-release information that I received just a couple
days after the newsletter was sent.

Damon Shulman/Vultures and Sheep ....import CD $18.99
(excerpt from 'Vultures and Sheep')
Vultures & Sheep is the third solo release from Damon Shulman. All songs are written and played by Damon with cameo performances from sons Elliot, Rowan and Joel. There are 8 songs on the album each having its own theme, though ostensibly linked by the author's transitory concerns regarding adult life today. Post production and mastering by Ray Shulman with contributions from many other members of the Shulman clan.
Peter Hammill/Thin Air ....import CD $17.99
(excerpt from 'Ghosts of Planes')
"Thin Air" is Peter's twenty-ninth solo album of original songs. It's been an eventful few years for Peter: a heart attack in December 2003 was followed by the Van der Graaf Generator reunion - both on stage and on record - in 2004/5. "Singularity," his last solo work, was released in 2006 and since then he has been deeply involved in the ongoing story of VdGG, now reconstituted as a trio and moving on from strength to strength. These new recordings, then, mark a return to solo territory, but in the knowledge that the band is still an ongoing entity. Peter therefore decided to make this set of recordings a genuinely one-man effort, playing and singing every note on the disc. As might be expected of an artist now more than forty years into his career, these are adult songs, addressing grown-up themes. The songs are of disappearance, of loss, of dislocation. Often we know in advance that what we hold will be lost; sometimes the loss comes as a complete surprise. The disappearances in our lives can be of culture, of people, of buildings, of relationships; this is the natural order of things rather than the exception. The themes of disappearance thread their way across nine pieces of impressionistic breadth. With piano, acoustic guitar and Peter's inimitable vocals to the front of the soundstage there is space left at the rear for fragmented sonic disturbances to be splashed across the songs. Familiar elements of Peter's writing and recording styles are here, of course, but the combinations are put together in such a way as to make something new and challenging out of the whole. This is a worthy, fascinating and mature addition to Peter's body of work, which remains uneasy listening. It doesn't look as if he will be disappearing just yet.
Renaissance/Song Of Scheherezade-Renaissance Live ....DVD (region 0) $18.99
From the UK label, Cherry Red, the first ever DVD to feature one of the great progressive-rock bands of all time - Renaissance. Renaissance were originally formed in the late 1960's by ex-Yardbirds members Keith Relf, and Jim McCarty - but both eventually departed and a complete turnover in personnel resulted in the classic line-up of Annie Haslam (vocals), Michael Dunford (guitar), John Tout (piano), Jon Camp (bass/vocals) and Terence Sullivan (drums). The later line-up were responsible for the groups most recognized albums - Prologue (1972), Ashes Are Burning (1973), Turn Of The Cards (1974), Scheherezade and Other Stories (1975), and more - which gained the group a significant fanbase in the US and led to hits in many other countries including the UK top ten single "Northern Lights". The Song Of Scheherezade DVD features performances drawn from two concerts - Capital Theatre in Passiac, NJ, on May 21, 1976 & Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ, on July 28, 1979. 120 mins playing time. Songs include - Running Hard, Ocean Gypsy, Carpet of the Sun, Mother Russia, Prologue, Song of Scheherezade, The Festival, Vultures Fly High, Jekyll & Hyde, Northern Lights, Forever Changing, Secret Mission, Song for All Seasons, Flood at Lyons.

The audience on this night topped half a million. It was an era that will never be duplicated.

Recorded for Virgin Records in 1974, "Hatfield and the North" was the eponymous debut album by the band comprising former Caravan member Richard Sinclair, keyboard player Dave Stewart, guitarist Phil Miller and drummer Pip Pyle.

Graeme Edge Band/Kick Off Your Muddy Boots ....import CD $19.99
Founder member and drummer of The Moody Blues, Graeme Edge recorded this classic album in 1975 while the Moody Blues were on a sabbatical. Teaming up with Adrian and Paul Gurvitz as the core of his band, "Kick Off Your Muddy Boots" was a fine effort (cited by some as the finest solo album by any Moody Blues member of the 1970's) and featured a guest appearance by Ginger Baker on the song Gew Janna Woman. Unavailable on CD for many years, this Esoteric Recordings release has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and includes the non-album track 'We Like To Do It' (issued as a single in 1975) as a bonus track.
Graeme Edge Band/Paradise Ballroom ....import CD $19.99
Founder member and drummer of The Moody Blues, Graeme Edge recorded his second classic album in 1976 while the Moody Blues were on a sabbatical. Teaming up with Adrian and Paul Gurvitz, Edge followed on from his debut solo album with another fine effort, leading some to cite his two solo albums as the finest solo album by any Moody Blues member of the 1970's. Unavailable on CD for many years, this Esoteric Recordings release has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and includes a lavishly illustrated booklet and essay.
Eric Burdon/Mirage ....import CD $19.99
Recorded in Los Angeles in 1973, "Mirage" was one of the finest albums of the 1970's by Animals' front man Eric Burdon. The soundtrack for a proposed United Artists film with the Vietnam War as its subject matter, the music recorded by Burdon such as 'Dragon Lady,' 'River of Blood,' 'Mind Arc' and 'Driftin'/Geronimo's Last Stand' was some of the finest of his career. Exploring the genres of rock, psychedelia and African beats, the sessions also saw Burdon record the song 'Mirage,' written by Jimi Hendrix on the night he died. Sadly, first the film and latterly a proposed double album release by Atlantic Records were shelved and the "Mirage" album and sessions were consigned to the archives.
Steve Swindells/Fresh Blood ....import CD $19.99
Recorded in 1980 for Atco Records, the album featured Steve's version of 'Shot Down In The Night' (a hit for Hawkwind) and musical contributions from Hawkwind members Simon King and Huw Lloyd-Langton with former Van Der Graaf Generator bassist Nic Potter also contributing. The album was a powerful work which promised much in commercial terms but failed to chart. Long sought after by Hawkwind fans, the album is now finally available on CD for the first time on Atomhenge.
Pendragon/Concerto Maximo ....double CD $18.99
Pendragon/Concerto Maximo ....DVD $18.99
Pendragon/Concerto Maximo ....DVD + double CD $35.99
Neo-prog-rock giants' outstanding come-back! Shortly after the release of their latest album "Pure," undoubtedly one of the most noteworthy prog-rock releases of the year 2008, the legendary Pendragon once more visited the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland, to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary. With their outstanding performance, possibly one of the best the Polish audience had ever had a chance to witness, and with their line-up strengthened by the addition of a new drummer Scott Higham (also known from his past cooperation with Clive Nolan on the project Caamora), the band surely proved that they're still a formidable force on the prog-rock scene! This special limited edition digipak with 2CD features the recording of the band's outstanding performance in Wyspianski Theatre. The DVD features 150 minutes of Pendragon live. Also included are interviews and plenty of behind-the-scenes footage. English neo-progressive rock band Pendragon, a mainstay of the genre, celebrates its 30th anniversary by performing live in Poland. Also included are interviews and plenty of behind-the-scenes footage, photo gallery and more! Also available is a special limited edition of "Concerto Maximo" DVD with 2 bonus audio CDs with songs recorded during the gig at the theater. Limited to 3000 copies.
Berliner Ring/Orbital ....CD $16.99
What the London orbital is to the English capital, the Berliner ring is to Berlin: a circular highway that surrounds the city. The first contemporary release from Art Yard amalgamates disparate elements: electro mechanical devices, invented instruments, modified keyboards, delays, customised rhythm and string machines: a half man, half machine driven trip into the Electro-Mechanical sub-underground, built around a combination of moods and themes drawn from the Berlin landscape. Berliner Ring work toward a brew of forms and techniques, creating geographical references and representations, 'tonal landscapes,' an unfolding of ambient instrumental stereologues.
Sun Ra/Nidhamu + Dark Myth Equation Visitation ....CD $18.99
Nidhamu & Dark Myth Visitation Equation complete the Egypt trilogy. Most remarkable is 'Nidhamu' (the second release of the series, half recorded at the Balloon Theatre, the other half at Hartmut Geerken's house in Heliopolis) - a remarkable document: austere and very out there. Electric keyboards and an eerie 'Discipline No.11' set the scene, and after some solo Moog there's a spooky miniature 'Discipline No.15' introducing another long Moog and keyboards solo: 35 pretty abstract minutes that just slip by. 'Dark Myth Visitation Equation' follows (this was the first LP release, and has also been known as Sun Ra in Egypt Vol 1 and Nature's God). The first tracks are from the Cairo TV broadcast and the whole collection features more familiar groove-based pieces characteristic of the period, interspersed with Moog and electric keyboard solos. June Tyson reappears for 'To Nature's God' and the highly eccentric 'Why go to the Moon?'
Henry Cow/40th Anniversary Full Box Set ....CD box set + DVD $179.99
(Boxes 1 & 2, 9 CD's, 1 DVD, 2 Boxes, 2 60 Pg Books) The 5 full-length discs in Box 1 cover Henry Cow's career from the pre-Virgin Records days up to roughly 1975. These are all previously unreleased recordings, some live, some demo, some studio, all sonically enhanced by Bob Drake's painstaking re-mastering. We are treated to everything from early BBC sessions to somewhat later live improvisations, alternate recordings with Robert Wyatt, to the full 18 minute version of "With the Yellow Moon And Half Star" (The Bacchae). There are many compositions and improvisations new to anyone who only knows the official releases; The disks also document a number of one-off projects and events and - where different or remarkable enough to justify inclusion - live versions of parts of the LP repertoire. The hefty, 60-page booklet is chock-full of historic information and exclusive photos.
The 4 full-length CD's + 1 DVD in Box 2 cover the Cow's career from roughly 1976 to the band's demise, with an emphasis on the later era. Nobody knew that this 75-minute concert broadcast of the band existed, so the DVD is a real boon, and has spectacular versions of "Beautiful As The Moon", "Living In The Heart Of The Beast", "March", "Erk Gah", "No More Songs" and a great, improvisational piece. The music discs are also excellent, and include as highlights the original version of "Joan," as well as a 12 minute, hitherto unreleased piece by Lindsay Cooper, and great versions of "Erk Gah" and "Viva Pa Ubu." There's also some immaculate improvising, including a 17 minute foray from the original RIO Festival, and Fred's "Awake Against Sleep" from the Western Culture sessions - and all that's just the tip of the iceberg. The hefty, 60-page booklet is chock-full of historic information and exclusive photos. And everything has been carefully transferred and re-mastered by Bob Drake to the best audio quality that current technology allows without interference or tampering.
Sun Ra And His Solar Arkestra/Horizon ....CD $16.99
Horizon (also known as Starwatchers and Sun Ra in Egypt Vol.2) contains a big chunk of the now legendary Balloon Theatre concert. The Balloon extract is an uncut block (tracks 1- 4 on the CD) and features a lot of Sun Ra's all-hell-let-loose Moog soloing, as well as a great version of Discipline 2. The rest of Horizon is from the Heliopolis concert, kicking off with an instrumental version of Enlightment and Love in Outer Space segueing slowly into Space is the Place - followed by drum orchestra, more Ra soloing on Moog, Tiger Organ and detuned piano (bloops, hoovering, whistles, concords taking off) leading to a first lurching, then wild, Discipline 8. Two bonus tracks, for the first time restored from the original concert, follow: We'll Wait for You (with June Tyson) and The Satellites are Spinning - which ends in full-on percussion.
The Hat Shoes/Differently Desperate ....CD $16.99
Ad Hoc Records' new, four-panel digipack reissue of The Hat Shoes' debut album will be especially welcomed by lovers of intelligent and thoughtful Progressive music, with a hint of Romanticism. Originally released in 1991, "Differently Desparate" is a studio offering of diverse avant-pop songs by a "Super-group," comprised of members Bill Gilonis (The Work), Catherine Jauniaux (Fluvial), Charles Hayward (This Heat, Camberwell Now) and Tom Cora (Skeleton Crew, Curlew). There's also a slew of well-known guest performers: David Thomas, Amos, Chris Cochrane, Tim Hodgkinson, Hahn Rowne and Rick Brown, among others.
Bill Gilonis & Chantale Laplante/Zurich - Bamberg ....CD $16.99
Bill Gilonis and Chantale Laplante worked on Zurich-Bamberg intermittently for three years. The CD comprises a series of pieces that fall loosely into a category that could be called "electro-acoustic Horspiel." However, with Bill in Zurich and Chantale based firstly in Bamberg, Germany and later in Montreal, Canada, it was difficult to find a way of collaborating by conventional means. But, by ping-ponging audio file CDs between these cities they managed to develop a practical, and in some ways advantageous, composition and recording strategy. For this project conventional instrumentation has been virtually abandoned. What we hear on these recordings - collaged and sometimes manipulated via processing technology - is street noise, household clatter, fragments of radio, close-miked objects, etc. By and large the pieces are constructed from precisely the sounds that our ears are constantly and automatically filtering out; but by orchestrating these sounds into pieces to be listened to - as opposed to heard - listeners are introduced to a radically personal world.
Riverside/Anno Domini High Definition ....CD $14.99
Riverside/Anno Domini High Definition (Ltd. Ed.) ....CD + DVD $17.99
In a society which continues to develop at breathtaking speed, racing through world history in seven-league boots, mercilessly trampling down anything unable to keep pace with this ruthless goose step, 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 stocktaking of reality. Anno Domini High Definition is no concept album in the classic sense, although it features a central theme and a haunting message. "It's a story about people who angrily state that such-and-such a device is no longer fashionable, before they've even learnt how to use it properly themselves. Even worse – it's no longer usable, because there's something better on the market now," Mariusz Duda, vocalist, bassist, guitarist and lyricist of the four-piece explains. "For me, those are the thoughts of people who wake up every morning worrying that perhaps today their 'sell-by date' may expire."
Beardfish/Destined Solitaire ....CD $14.99
Sweden is still one of the most innovative spots for new and talented musicians and bands. One successful example of this is the band Beardfish created by prog rock mastermind Rikard Sjoblom. Beardfish's sound can be described as 70's Progressive Rock (Gentle Giant, early Yes, and King Crimson) meets the unique musical craftsmanship of a band with many innovative and yet sometimes bizarre compositions and ideas. With the band's popularity on the rise, Dream Theater drummer and mastermind Mike Portnoy has asked Beardfish to be part of the 2009 incarnation of the Progressive Nation Tour with fellow InsideOut Music band Pain of Salvation. The initial pressing of the album will be in a lavish digipack.
Eureka/Shackleton's Voyage ....CD $14.99
His album Shackleton's Voyage is spectacular in every respect and sees Hamburg's multi-instrumentalist Frank Bossert return to his musical roots. Influenced more strongly again by rock acts such as Yes and Rush, Bossert's Eureka project tells the true story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's sensational Antarctica expedition in the years 1914 to 1916. Musically, Shackleton's Voyage operates at the interface of prog rock, symphonic, Celtic and – mainly in terms of his guitar style – Mike Oldfield influences. Another sensation is the involvement of Billy Sherwood, a former member of prog rock legend Yes, who contributed the vocals on 'The Challenge' and 'Going Home.' "I'd always dreamed of working with Billy Sherwood," says Frank Bossert. "Eureka came to his attention a while ago via my MySpace site. Billy sent me a message, telling me how much he liked my music, so contact was established and we decided to work together."
IQ/Frequency ....CD $14.99
IQ/Frequency (Limited Edition) ....CD + DVD $17.99
Without a doubt IQ is one of the spearheads of British progressive rock bands following the musical tradition set by legends like Genesis and Yes. On 'Frequency,' their brand new album, the five acclaimed musicians present their unique mix of epic long tracks, melodic guitar parts and amazing song arrangements on a high quality level. The band is loved for by their fans and respected by critics. Again icing on the cake are the outstanding vocal parts of singer Peter Nicholls. Available as Regular Edition and Special Edition digipack incl. bonus live DVD.
Devin Townsend Project/Ki ....CD $15.99
"Ki is the first in a series of four albums under the moniker 'Devin Townsend Project.' Each album is essentially a different band or collection of session musicians playing my music," Townsend explains. "They were chosen based on what the theme of the album is and the vibe that the album is trying to project. The album Ki is very specific in this quartet of albums in that it controls its anger throughout, barring one song - 'Heaven Send' - and really is an exercise in having little to prove."As with the music on Ki, the graphic design is also consciously multilayered. Townsend: "I live in the North of Canada and I believe that the native cultures of the world have it really down in terms of spirituality. Nature is 'God,' in all its subtlety and terror. And we are all a part of it, whether or not we want to be. The mask on the (inside) cover is based on native North American and Chinese paintings. It is not authentic and is just meant to be two faces in one." On the outside is a beautifully designed slipcase. A mask hiding a mask. Welcome to the Devin Townsend Project.
O.S.I.Blood ....CD $14.99
O.S.I./Blood (Limited Edition) ....double CD $17.99
In BLOOD, O.S.I. have succeeded in creating a fascinating album at the crossroads between rock and progressive metal. Music that alternates between atmospherically dense and aggressively demanding elements, while effortlessly transcending barriers between different styles and genres. Following its impressive predecessors, Office Of Strategic Influence (2003) and Free (2006), Blood is the third release by Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos. O.S.I. unites two exceptional composers who share their penchant for the unusual and are on the same artistic wavelength. Along with Moore and Matheos, BLOOD features Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison. There's also a guest appearance by Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) on 'Stockholm,' which the Swedish musician composed together with the two O.S.I. masterminds. Moore and Matheos took care of the album's production themselves, while the mix was done with Grammy winner Phil Magnotti. BLOOD is an ambitious album recorded by real masters of their trade, for people with a taste for the above-average. The limited edition version comes with a bonus CD with three additional tracks totally 25 minutes and features guest vocals from No-Man's Tim Bowness.
Saga/The Human Condition ....CD $14.99
On The Human Condition Saga sets another musical milestone in their more than 30 year band history. A unique mix of elements from the genres of melodic rock, pop and prog. Replacing former singer Michael Sadler, Rob Moratti's voice is a perfect addition and creative input to the classic sound of the band. SAGA is well prepared for a long lasting future.
It Bites/The Tall Ships ....CD $14.99
2008 album from the British Prog/Pop rockers, their first studio release in 20 years. Original members John Beck (keyboards) and Bob Dalton (drums) have been joined by bassist Lee Pomeroy and vocalist/guitarist John Mitchell (formerly of Kino). While original leader Francis Dunnery has moved on, the classic sounds of It Bites remains with the band, chiefly due to the incredible keyboard work of John Beck. The Tall Ships features twelve drivingly and at the same time transparently produced numbers, beginning with the deeply melodic 'Oh My God,' an opener that lives up to the most demanding standards and radiates a positive atmosphere throughout. Then there are multi-layered numbers such as 'Ghosts,' 'Playground,' 'Lights' and 'Memory Of Water,' which fascinates with its harmonies and rhythms and features a clearly audible organ part. The same applies to the rock number 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley,' reminiscent of early Yes with its edgy guitars, booming Hammond organ and the imposing vocals, which performs a successful digression through the whole history of the genre. Two equally impressive tracks are the title song, which proves the band's talent for great anthems, and the opulent, experimental 'This Is England' with its more than 13 minutes playing time. To cut a long story short: all tracks impress with their compositional diversity and the exceptional skills of the musicians involved.
Jolly/Forty Six Minutes Twelve Seconds of Music ....CD $14.99
Jolly's first full length release "Forty-Six Minutes Twelve Seconds of Music" is an aggressive and eclectic blend of musical soundscapes both elegant and hard-hitting. Jolly covers all auditory ground in this release, venturing from haunting ambience, to slicing guitar riffs, all interwoven with beautiful melodies. This album contains stunning originality while simultaneously striking a familiar chord with the listener. Aside from the impressive musicianship, and refreshing writing styles, 46:12 also offers something new. Embedded throughout the album are various forms of brain wave stimulation known as Binaural Tones. These tones are scientifically proven to enrich feelings of happiness, focus, creativity, and relaxation through inaudible changes in audio frequencies. This phenomenon will greatly enhance the listening experience, drawing listeners deeper into the world of Jolly. 46:12 is an album for the ages that will not be forgotten.
Roswell Six/Terra Incognita: Beyond The Horizon ....CD $14.99

John Payne), Lana Lane.
Various Artists/Tommy: The Rock Opera ....import CD $31.99
It was an astonishingly bold concept by the producer Lou Reizner to present the Who's rock opera 'Tommy' as a dramatised, all-star extravaganza. Originally released as a double LP in a slipcase with lavish, illustrations, this was the first ever 'coffee table' album. And it proved a huge best seller when first released in 1972 and helped on its way by the hit single version of 'Pinball Wizard,' sung with gusto by Rod Stewart on the album. Among the other guest performers accompanied by the mighty orchestra and choir are Pete Townshend, Sandy Denny, Richie Havens, Stevie Winwood, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Maggie Bell, Ringo Starr and even movie actor Richard Harris. This important CD re-issue serves not only as a tribute to the genius of the Who and composer Townshend, but as a memorial to Lou Reizner, a pioneer of multi-media projects, who died aged just 43 in 1977. Includes a separate, fully illustrated, full colour, 36-page libretto with the storyline and characters of the Tommy saga, song lyrics and illustrations.
Chris Spedding/One Step Ahead Of The Blues ....import CD $20.99
Chris Spedding, one of the rock's world's most versatile guitarists, has played with many top artists over a thirty-year career, from Elton John to Bryan Ferry. He has also unleashed many of his own hit singles and critically acclaimed albums and this is the best of his more recent works. Spedding is adept at a range of styles from fusion jazz to rock'n'roll and this excellent set shows his abilities as both vocalist, guitarist and keyboard player. Among a dozen freshly minted songs are standout performances as 'I Wouldn't Treat A Dog,' 'Go To The Mardi Gras' and 'Young Man Blues.' 3 previously unavailable bonus tracks round off this excellent album. Produced by Philippe Rault, the CD was recorded in 2001 and has strong support from backing musicians Tal Bergman and John Philip Shenale (drums) and Reggie McBride (bass). Spedding remains one step ahead of his fellow guitarists, with this dynamic and bluesy session.
Snowy White/The Best Of Snowy White ....import double CD $31.99
Terence 'Snowy' White is a fine British born guitarist with a worldwide reputation for tasteful musicianship. While often called upon to support other groups and artists - including Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd and Roger Waters, Snowy has also carved a solo career with a prolific output of albums and singles. This carefully chosen double CD compilation showcases the best of his work from three decades of creativity. It includes his memorable 1983 UK Top Ten hit single 'Bird Of Paradise' and many more tracks from albums made with his own regular White Flames band. Among the 1980s albums that provide a rich source of material for Disc One are 'White Flames,' 'That Certain Thing,' 'Snowy White,' 'Change My Life' and 'Open For Business.' Disc Two covers the period from 1994 to 2005, drawing from Snowy's albums 'Highway To The Sun,' 'No Faith Required,' 'Little Wing,' 'Keep Out: We Are Toxic,' 'Restless' and 'Way It Is.' Snowy has recently toured extensively with Roger Waters, and this excellent compilation celebrates the career of the man with 'Goldtop' guitar and the magic touch.
Magna Carta/Songs From Wasties Orchard ....import CD $20.99
Blending folk melodies with rock power, Magna Carta became one of the most respected British groups of the Seventies. Founder member and singer Chris Simpson wrote all the material for the band's third album that was produced by Gus Dudgeon and first released on Vertigo in 1971. Acclaimed by critics as their 'magnum opus,' 'Wasties' was a best seller and remains one of Magna Carta's best-loved works. The album has a dozen attractive songs, including the single 'Time For The Leaving,' that encapsulates the group's mixture of lilting rhythms, vocal harmonies and gentle acoustic guitar. Guitarist Davey Johnstone - who later worked with Elton John - contributes his own composition 'Down Along Up' and Rick Wakeman plays keyboards on one track. Magna Carta continued performing into the new Millennium and says Melody Maker's Colin Irwin: 'They are the whole story of contemporary folk music and that is one stupendous achievement.'
Levon Helm/Electric Dirt ....CD $16.99
Electric Dirt is the second album in the last two years from American musical treasure Levon Helm. Its predecessor, the Grammy-winning Dirt Farmer, his first solo album in a quarter century, followed Levon's near-miraculous recovery from throat cancer, and as such represented a new lease on life for the legendary artist, who rose to prominence as the drummer and vocalist for Levon and the Hawks, which later became The Band. Electric Dirt again finds Levon steeped in tradition in his connection to the land and those who live by it, but this record goes deeper and wider, incorporating gospel, blues and soul elements in a bracing collection of originals and carefully chosen outside songs. As with Dirt Farmer, multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell took the reigns as producer and the album was recorded at "The Barn" - Levon Helm Studios. "Our objective here was to take the honesty, innocence and purity of the Dirt Farmer record which represents a true element of what Levon is all about, but also expand on that and explore deeper the goldmine of Levon's musical artistry," states Campbell.
George Thorogood & the Destroyers/The Dirty Dozen ....CD $13.99
A unique collection of 6 new blues-rock tracks in classic Thorogood style, combined with 6 "fan favorites" that have been out-of-print and hard to find on CD, all at a low price. Includes Tail Dragger, Drop Down Mama, Run Myself Out Of Town, Born Lover, Twenty Dollar Gig, Let Me Pass, Howlin' For My Baby, Highway 49, Six Days On The Road, Treat Her Right, Hello Little Girl, Blue Highway.
Sweet Billy Pilgrim/Twice Born Men ....CD $14.99
Oft compared to a Radiohead or an Elbow, this sophomore release from Sweet Billy Pilgrim achieves a sublime balance between their hooks and their moods, their ambitions and their humility. Sweet Billy Pilgrim are exemplars of English atmosphere art-pop. Mojo magazine awarded their debut album, "we just did what happened and no one came," four stars and The Sunday Times called it, 'a rather special debut,' making the single 'Stars Spill Out of Cups' one of their songs of the year. Since then, they've turned those careful hands to remixing, most notably 'bringing a fierce pop quality' to David Sylvian's 'The Heart Knows Better' for his 'The Good Son vs. the Only Daughter - The Blemish Remixes' project. Steve Jansen's 'Conversation Over' from the 'Slope' album has also benefited / suffered from their meddlings, Tim also contributing vocals and lyrics to the album for the song 'Sleepyard.' With the release of their second album, 'Twice Born Men' on Sylvian's Samadhisound label following recent collaborations with folktronica luminary Adem (for BBC Radio 3), Norwegian electronicists Punkt, and successful shows at the Royal Opera House, King's Place as well as festivals in Spain and Norway, Sweet Billy Pilgrim are building fires to warm their little musical corner while they wait for planning permission to build their ramshackle beach huts on those tiny, storm-bruised plots inside us all.
Apogee/Mystery Remains ....import CD $18.99
Apogee is the solo project by Arne Schafer, guitarist and singer in the German band Versus X, probably the best German progressive band nowadays. On this fourth album Arne is helped by Uwe Vollmar and Thomas Reiner, former and current drummer of Versus X. These experienced and talented musicians play an ambitious symphonic progressive music. If the influences of King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill are still there, the music has become more personal, in a more meditative and contemplative way sometimes, and with a more melodic approach. Five long pieces (9 to 20 minutes) confirm one more time Arne's taste for complex musical structures. "Mystery Remains" is an excellent symphonic album, sophisticated and intelligent.
Diptyque/7 ....import CD $18.99
Olivier Messiaen never foresaw that his seven modes would set up an interaction in a freestyle conversation, between saxophones and drums, pitting seven cardinal signs against their virtues. Alexandre Davin and Jean-Marc Baccarini have decided to re-appropriate and serve them up to you. Their music happens spontaneously, in a space of creative freedom where anything is possible. "Explorimental" music where intuition overrides reason. This music is an encounter, an unusual relationship, a dialogue between two committed musicians deeply involved with jazz and all forms of improvised music flowing from its source.

Area - Probably the most original Italian group from the Seventies, melting rock, Progressive, jazz, ethnic music in a way nobody did it before. A music extremely constructed, varied, sometimes written sometimes improvised, with cast spelling melodies alterning with frantic parts. Sometimes considered as the Italian Magma. Next to the incredible singer Demetrio Stratos and his protest lyrics, we could find Paolo Tofani, guitarist in I Califfi, and the French bass player Patrick Djivas. This last musician then became part of PFM a little later.

Forrest Fang/Phantoms ....CD $14.99
Phantoms is Forrest Fang's 9th solo album and the follow-up to his Projekt release, Gongland. Nearly eight years in the making, Phantoms builds on the gamelan-influenced soundscapes of its predecessor by weaving organic sounds of non-Western stringed and percussion instruments and filtering those sounds through a rich melodic tapestry of warm and vaporous atmospheres. Fang's subtly layered and continually evolving textures combine his Asian influences with his love of fractal algorithms that reflect the chaotic beauty of nature. The ambiences of Phantoms evoke a state of contemplation within a world in flux. The centerpiece of the album is a 23-minute ambient suite - "The Hallucinations of Hung Tung" - inspired by the otherworldly paintings of a Taiwanese fisherman and outsider artist.

Guru Guru/Tango Fango ....CD $16.99
The album, which had been recorded at producer legend Conny Plank's studio in Neunkirchen, Germany, was celebrated unanimously by the group's fans, and the press without exception praised the colourful mix of rock, jazz and fooling about, enthusing about the wide range of rhythms such as bossa nova and tango and the album's humorous German- and English-language lyrics. Musikexpress magazine even declared Tango Fango "one of the best German records ever." "I want to make people throw their shoes and underpants in the air out of sheer delight, make them totally lose their inhibitions," Guru Guru band leader Mani Neumeier announced to Sounds Magazine in 1976 upon the album's release. "It would be perfect if we could really make them freak out. I used to want to be a revolutionary or whatever, but today all I want to be is a good entertainer." Goal achieved.Digitally remastered in high quality digipaks with extensive liner notes.
Jane/Between Heaven And Hell ....CD $16.99
When their seventh album, "Between Heaven And Hell," arrived in spring 1977, Jane were at the peak of their creative prowess. Stylistically, the album with its almost twenty-minute title track and three dragging numbers continued in the direction of its predecessor. The opener, 'Between Heaven And Hell,' sounded melancholy and emotive, featuring the band's typical stylistic means, 'Twilight' presented Jane in their usual rock-oriented manner, the ballad, 'Voice In The Wind' with its church organ and harp sounds revived the cosy flair of their classic, 'Out In The Rain', and the final 'Your Circle' featured a straightforward rock act. Curiously, Jane rearranged 'Your Circle' later to release the number in a harsh heavy metal version under the title of 'Southern Line' on Germania in 1982. Digitally remastered in high quality digipaks with extensive liner notes.
White/White ....CD $13.99
White is the self-titled debut album from one of the most talked about bands to emerge from the Beijing underground in recent years. Produced by Blixa Bargeld at Einsturzende Neubauten studios in Berlin, White is the starting point for a more widespread recognition of new music from China. Their sound is ever evolving, spiralling outwards from cosmic industrial. The duo features Shou Wang, a founder member of the Chinese new music movement 'No Beijing,' a new generation of Chinese avant-garde musicians, and Shenggy. The music of White will appeal to fans of Can, Glenn Branca, Raymond Scott, SPK, Manuel Gottsching, and Neubauten.
Agitation Free/Fragments ....CD $16.99
The first three pieces on "Fragments" were recorded at the "Final Reunion concert" on November 14, 1974. "Mediterranean Flight" was recorded four months before in July 1974. The bonus track is an improvisation called "Crashending" and was recorded live in 1971. Digitally remastered in high quality digipaks with extensive liner notes and an enhanced-CD "home movie" video.
Agitation Free/River Of Return ....CD $16.99
Agitation Free surprised their fans with a contemporary crossover between rock, jazz and meditative elements. The original members - Lutz Ulbrich, Gustl Lütjens, Michael Günther and Burghard Rausch - collaborated under the production guidance of "Potsch" Potschka (Spliff) and were encouraged to go back to the creative place they had stopped at 25 years before. One can definitely hear the "old spirit" of the seventies, revived with the possibilities of today. The fascinating sessions brought forth eight pieces of music which could not be more different, although there are deeply connected in spirit. Digitally remastered in high quality digipaks with extensive liner notes. Bonus material is a rock outtake from the "River Of Return" sessions and a live version of "First Communication" (originally on "Second") that was recorded in 1972.
Lynyrd Skynyrd/Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 ....CD $13.99

Klaus Shulze/Mirage ....LP $21.99
This classic Klaus Schulze album was originally released in 1978 and comprises, along with "X", the first vinyl releases of Schulze on Revisited. 'In the long run, this album will establish Klaus Schulze as an outstanding composer of electronic music,' said the reviewer of Record World back in 1977 when he heard Mirage. Mirage is a masterpiece. Schulze's flexibility in terms of spirit and final production is shown here in a bizarre electronic winter landscape. For many fans "Mirage" is one of his most important works of the Seventies.The LP will be released with the original artwork.
Klaus Shulze/X ....double LP $25.99
This classic Klaus Schulze album was originally released in 1978 and comprises, along with "Mirage," the first vinyl releases of Schulze on Revisited.Parallel to his first German tour in October 1978, Klaus Schulze's 10th album was released. Six musical biographies take place on 4 LP-sides. On those 6 tracks that were dedicated to Nietzsche, Trakl, Herbert, Bach, Kleist and Ludwig II., Schulze made clear that he is the master of synthesizer and everybody has to count him at the top of the avant garde league in German rock music. For many fans "X" is his most important work of the Seventies. This double LP will be released with the original artwork and a booklet.
Amon Duul II/Phallus Dei ....LP $21.99
"Phallus Dei" is the incredible debut by these Krautrock pioneers. This album was the result of the Amon Duul commune breaking up. The first half was more in the politics and community, but they did record a series of albums all under one jam. The other half of the Amon Duul was of course far more musically inclined, and of course that was Amon Duul II. It's also pretty safe to say that "Phallus Dei" is to Amon Duul II what "Monster Movie" is to CAN: both being their most '60s sounding albums. "Phallus Dei" is a wonderful debut and recommendation to those who like the more psychedelic end of Krautrock.The LP will be released with the original artwork.
Amon Duul II/Yeti ....double LP $21.99
"Yeti" was the second album by Amon Duul II and is quite a musical achievement. This is a double LP set and contains some of Amon Duul II's most impressive work - delivering their thick, full-fledged, multi-layered sound with dense instrumentation and a certain epic vastness... This is Krautrock in the full depth of its power: huge, towering, dark and completely devoid of any happy optimism, but still bound full of energy. Instrumentally this album is pure magic with some great psychy sitar-ish acoustic guitar plucking and hand percussion interplay. "Yeti" also abounds in the fusion of electric guitar, bass and drum interplay. An essential bit of the psych/prog era. This double LP will be released with the original artwork.
Cozy Powell/Octopuss ....CD $15.99
Cozy Powell/Tilt ....CD $15.99
Lemon - Considered to be one of England's best drummers, and very much in demand for rock and pop records, Cozy Powell was almost legendary for a heavy-hitting style that could be made to work with many kinds of rock music, whether for the thundering pop productions helmed by Mickie Most, Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake & Powell, or even his own solo work (notably "Dance with the Devil," which was a major English hit in 1973.) Powell began his professional music career in 1965 with the Sorcerers, eventually winding up working with Jeff Beck after Beck left the Yardbirds. In 1971, Powell formed Bedlam, but eventually abandoned this project to produce singles such as "Dance with the Devil." He later formed Cozy Powell's Hammer, which broke up in 1975. After a brief sabbatical, he joined Rainbow, helping to give the band a thundering rhythm section before quitting after four years and four albums in 1980. Always in demand for the drum seat, he alternated between session work and working in a variety of bands, including the Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake and Black Sabbath, never staying in any one band for very long. In 1996, he worked with former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green on his long-awaited comeback tour.
Mott The Hoople/Mott The Hoople Live - Expanded Deluxe Edition ....import CD $19.99
Iconoclassic - When 'Mott The Hoople Live' was originally released in November 1974, little did we know that this album would be their swansong; Mott ceased to exist six weeks after 'Mott The Hoople' Live hit the record racks. The original 'Mott The Hoople Live' has been enhanced and expanded into this astonishing 21song 'Expanded Deluxe Edition '2 CD set. 13 additional tracks have been added to the original album, capturing two legendary concerts nearly in their entirety: the late-1973 Hammersmith show, where the set over-ran so long that the theater owners lowered the curtain on the band; and a taste of the group's triumphant Broadway season six months later, when Mott became the first rock band to sell out a week of concerts in New York's theater district. In October 2009, the original lineup of Mott The Hoople will reunite for the first time ever, performing at the current Hammersmith venue, making this the perfect time to introduce 'Mott The Hoople Live - Expanded Deluxe Edition' into the U.S. marketplace for the first time.
Hawkwind/Hawkwind Live 1984-1995 ....import triple DVD $35.99
Cherry Red - The first ever DVD box-set release to feature one of the giants of rock music - Hawkwind. Three discs with spectacular live performances. Chronicle of the Black Sword: The success of Hawkwind during the seventies allowed them the privilege of meeting many of the artists and writers who had influenced them. Most prominent of these was Sci-Fi writer Michael Moorcock, whose sword and sorcery 'Elric' series had been the primary source for the bands' Chronicle of the Black Sword' album. Filmed in December 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon, `Chronicle' does more than justice to what was a truly epic performance from the undisputed `kings of acid-rock overkill'. The narration is provided by Michael Moorcock. Packed with suitably obscure psychedelic images and bizarre OTT stage antics, also included is the four number encore where Moorcock performs on stage with the band. Night of the Hawks: Recorded live at the Gaumont Theatre, Ipswich in spring 1984 this superb film of the 'Hawks' features their most eccentric of front men Nik Turner in fine form. Resembling a creation from one of Dr.Who's least convincing episodes, Turner wanders around the stage like a maniac, motor -mouthing his way through what is a truly impressive set of some of Hawkwind's best material. The additional laser graphics and wild editing could not have been more suitable. Prepare yourself for an audio/visual Brainstorm. Love in Space: Love in Space was shot during Hawkwind's Alien 4 tour in 1995 and is comprised of the highlights taken from four venues - Liverpool Royal Court, Manchester Academy, Bristol Colston Hall and Brixton Academy London. It shows the band at their most creative and over the top, with then front man Ron Tree, wearing a vast array of bizarre costumes designed specially for the tour, alongside various performance artists. The band are paired down to a four piece but have lost none of the raw power one associates with archetypal Hawkwind, as they rip through numbers both old and new, including some true classics. With the advantage of digitally re-mastered sound you not only get to see Hawkwind at their most outrageous you also get to hear them exactly as they should be heard - loud and proud.
Dinasaurs/Friends Of Extinction ....double CD $17.99
Retroworld - John Cipollina’s fabled band from San Francisco featuring “Papa" John Creach (Jefferson Airplane), Spencer Dryden (Jefferson Airplane), Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead Lyricist), Pete Albin (Big Brother And The Holding Company) And Barry Melton (Country Joe And The Fish). This 2 CD set contains previously unreleased live recordings and remastered rare studio recordings from the early '80s.
Sagittarius/Present Tense ....CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - Rev-ola proudly presents one of the major artifacts of the 1960s...an album with possibly the most beautiful soundscapes ever committed to tape, the sound of universal love! Virtually a collaboration between Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher, both in their own right near-geniuses of pop-psych the album also features a plethora of stars and strange bedfellows, from The Firesign Theatre to The Millennium, from Glen Campbell to The Wrecking Crew, from Beach Boy Bruce Johnston to future Bread man Jimmy Griffin, yep, they are all here...as well as an extensively remastered version of the original 1968 release, the CD features a whole raft of single mixes (so radically different), out-takes and demos, pretty much doubling the length of your immersion in this wonderful experience.
Funkadelic/Live ....CD $15.99
Westbound - Before this, the sound of early Funkadelic was just legend - this full frontal assault of funk and rock and sheer madness from the first combat soldiers of the funkateers confirms its awesome power. Recorded at Meadowbrook, Rochester, Michigan on 12th September 1971 and this presentation here is taken from the origianl master tapes. The booklet features authorative Rob Bowman notes + rare photo's from one of Funkadelic's tour mangers.
Amazing Blondel/Bad Dreams ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - Description "Bad Dreams" came out in 1976 on vinyl but this is the first ever release on CD. The album achieved critical acclaim and the band continued recording and playing for two years after the release of this acclaimed album. Certain tracks became standards in the live set from Bad Dreams including 'Give Me A Chance' and 'Call It A Night.'
Amazing Blondel/Live In Tokyo ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - The Amazing Blondel due to continual touring in the seventies, established themselves on the British live scene creating a a large fan base and became one of the underground "cult" bands. Their zany and unique sound and live performances had appeal across the whole folk scene spectrum and since this album has never been released on CD it will be sought out by all Amazing Blondel and folk fans alike. Live in Tokyo came out in 1977 on vinyl but this is the first ever release on CD. The secret about this release is that it was recorded in Scandinavia since the band never went to Japan!! This set represents a band at the peak of its' powers and shows what a fine and accomplished live set the band could play.
Paul Revere & The Raiders/Hungry For Kicks - Singles & Choice Cuts 1965-69 ....CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - Legendary American rock/ beat combo that hardly need any introduction here! Suffice to say that after being the first rock band to sign to Columbia Records (CBS) they generated an incredibly impressive run of 25 hit singles in the American charts! John Peel was a big fan too and Rev-Ola are now delighted to present what is probably the definitive introduction to this revered (pun intended!) band! Check out such classics as 'Him Or Me - What's It Gonna Be,' 'Steppin' Out,' 'Kicks' and of course the original version of 'Steppin' Stone' which is rated as by far the best by many rock fans. All tracks have been re-mastered and they have never sounded so good! So crank up the volume and wig out!
Mike Westbrook Concert Band/Marching Song Volume 1 & 2 ....CD $15.99
Righteous - This amazing jazz masterpiece from 1969 was originally released in two parts on Deram and is presented here as a double-CD at a single price. This double album features Westbrook with Alan Skidmore, David Holdsworth, John Surman and a wild collection of brass-wielding legends. An anti-Vietnam piece that takes a remarkable journey from civilization to war and its inevitable results with powerful and evocative material that features some excellent performances and magnificent solo-ing as the tension mounts. Re-mastered with sleeve-notes by Dave Henderson from MOJO.
Pilot/From The Album Of The Same Name ....import CD $18.99
RPM - Retro - 'From The Album Of ....' was written by Paton and Lyall and majorly demo'd before they ever got to EMI's studios, whereupon they picked Alan Parsons from the in-house staff list to produce. Soft rock meets prog rock with enough mainstream hooks to keep the customer more than satisfied. The top 10 single 'Magic' is here in album form and original 'pre-strings' version. Now digitally re-mastered at Abbey Road studios with bonus tracks added from the archive of David Paton who has also contributed to the sleeve notes. Bonus tracks include two unreleased songs and a rare early off shoot single released as 'Scotch Mist.'
Pilot/Second Flight ....import CD $18.99
RPM - Retro - Their second album, from 1975, again produced by Alan Parsons (who would take three of Pilot to record his own album 'I-Robot' a year later), featured a major hit with the single 'January', a No.1 in many countries. Now digitally re-mastered at Abbey Road studios with bonus tracks added from the archive of David Paton who has also contributed to the sleeve notes. Included are the non LP 'Lady Luck' single, two unreleased songs and the demo version of 'January'. Great Brit Power Pop!
Pilot/Morin Heights ....import CD $18.99
RPM - Retro - This third album was recorded at Morin Heights in Quebec, Canada in 1976, and this time had Roy Thomas Baker (Queen) producing. Heavier power pop sound and song writing contributions from more band members mark this album as a progression. It still retains the Pilot stamp of quality, and yielded a major hit in the single 'Penny In My Pocket.' Now digitally re-mastered at Abbey Road studios and again we have the demo version from David Paton's archive, together with three more unreleased songs as bonus tracks.
Sweetwater/Sweetwater ....CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - Sweetwater were an unusual 8 piece aggregation whose budding career was cruelly cut short by tragedy. Formed out of coffee house jams in LA under the benign eye of Roger McGuinn's sometime cowriter Harvey Gerst, Sweetwater played a fresh and happening fusion of Psychedelia, Jazz and Classical music; in some ways a West Coast equivalent to Chrysalis. Their first album, produced by the great Dave Hassinger, established them as a force to be reckoned with, and landed them tours with The Doors and Eric Burdon and The Animals, and in time the coveted opening slot on the Woodstock festival. In December 1969 it all came skidding to a halt, as 20 year old singer Nansi Nevins was involved in a serious car smash, which left her in a coma with severe brain trauma and damaged vocal cords, necessitating years of therapy and though the group continued, it just wasn't the same. There was even a 1999 TV movie telling their story, concentrating on their tragedy. Here instead we go back to their 1968 debut, when the world was at their feet!
Pacific Drift/Feelin' Free ....import CD $18.99
Grapefruit - Although 'Feelin' Free' was released to widespread indifference back in January 1970, the sole album by Manchester band Pacific Drift remains a sparkling, West Coast-influenced amalgam of post-psychedelic pop and early progressive rock, skillfully weaving wistful laments and riff-laden rockers into a fully cohesive whole. This first-ever authorized reissue of what is now a highly sought-after LP adds three tracks that appeared on the variant US release of the album as well as the band's version of the Spirit track 'Water Woman', only released at the time as a UK single. With some superb previously unpublished photos, new band quotes and master-tape sound quality, this long-overdue release is the first to assemble all known Pacific Drift recordings under one roof, and is unquestionably the definitive anthology of an unfairly neglected band.
Phil Beer Band/Mandorock 2000 Live ....import CD $18.99
Talking Elephant - Phil Beer (born 1953 in Exminster, Devon) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and one half of English acoustic roots duo Show of Hands as well as being part the Albion Band for many years. Beer worked with Paul Downes as a duo and also in the Arizona Smoke Revue. He joined the Albion Band in 1984 and stayed with them until 1991, touring extensively at home and abroad, and recording many albums. Show of Hands became a full-time partnership from 1991. Beer continues to do session work, most notably on the Rolling Stones Steel Wheels album. The Phil Beer Band toured extensively and in 2000 their live album was released with critical acclaim. Being available for only a short time Talking Elephant are pleased to be releasing this re-mastered version complete with Bonus Tracks.
Hunter Muskett/Every Time You Move ....import CD $18.99
Cherry Tree - One of the rarest British underground folk releases of the early 1970s, the Hunter Muskett debut album 'Every Time You Move' is also widely regarded as one of the best: a fragile, autumnal, quintessentially English beauty full of melancholy harmonies, layers of acoustic guitars, complementary bass (uncredited, but from Pentangle's Danny Thompson) sympathetic baroque arrangements and, most of all, some lovely, highly poetic songs. The album has been bootlegged in the past, but this first-ever authorized reissue features master-tapes sound, restored artwork and a 16-page booklet that includes song lyrics, new quotes from founder member and chief songwriter Terry Hiscock, numerous previously unpublished photos (including a batch taken in the studio during the album's recording) and, for the first time, full details of the Hunter Muskett story. An essential album for aficionados of vintage underground UK folk-rock, this definitive re-packaging of Every Time You Move constitutes a dazzling inaugural release for Cherry Red's new British folk imprint, Cherry Tree.
Cass Elliot/Mama Cass Television Program ....DVD $12.99
The year 1969 was a magical time for the music world and nothing captured the change and excitement better than THE MAMA CASS TELEVISION PROGRAM, a unique and colorful special starring the beloved "Mama" Cass Elliot – a "flower-power" hour that hasn't been seen since its original airing. In addition to her big hit Dream A Little Dream Of Me, Cass sings rare solo versions of The Mamas & The Papas' classics California Dreamin' and Monday, Monday. She also cuts loose on the Motown favorite Dancing In The Street. The River Of Life and I Can Dream, Can't I? John Sebastian, Joni Mitchell and Mary Travers all join Cass for a sing-a-long that's a true slice of '60s music utopia. John presents She's A Lady and teams with Cass on Darlin' Companion. Joni performs her evergreen Both Sides Now and Mary offers Laura Nyro's And When I Die. All three women join together for a stirring version of Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released. Comic Buddy Hackett as well as actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain also appear in a pair of humorous sketches with Cass. Bonus footage includes Cass duetting with Sammy Davis, Jr. on I Dig Rock And Roll Music plus a new interview with John Sebastian remembering his friend Cass and The Mamas & The Papas.

And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest...rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary... they're as important as anybody else who's ever been, ever, it just wasn't their time."

Various Artists/Switched On Bob - A Tribute To Bob Moog ....CD $15.99
Bella Casa - Bob Moog is the father of the modern synthesizers. Moog and his glorious, poetic instruments are the historic foundation of electronic music. Switched on Bob is our tribute to Bob Moog. The concept started with the enthusiasm of Maurizio ErMan Mansueti (Transistors) with Luca Luke Cirillo (Transistors) and Paolo Bruno Margoni (Margoo) in September 2005 at the Transistors' Lab. The original idea was to collect materials for a multimedia-CD with the participation of a selected group of artists that were each to contribute a piece inspired by Moog's huge influences on music, design, graphic illustration, or simply from the beautiful sounds of Moog's own instruments. This is not a conventional compilation, but instead it is an authentic project dedicated to the father of modern synthesizers.
Edgard Varese/The View From The Edge ....CD $15.99
el - 'The View from the Edge' is about the role of percussion in modern music and is a sequel to el's previous Varese edition, 'The Complete Works of Edgard Varese Volume 1.' An important restoration of the composer's earliest recordings, the edition was greeted by great critical enthusiasm. Championed for years by Frank Zappa, this genius is today regarded as "The Father Of Electronic Music;" a man that has been described as the Leonardo da Vinci of modern music. 'Arcana' and 'Ionisation' are the composer's key works; two of the most important of the twentieth century. Leonard Bernstein's historic seventeen minute 'Arcana' with The New York Philharmonic is amongst the rarest Varese recordings. The American Percussion Society's vigorous recording of 'Ionisation' has been inexplicably out of print for five decades and the Oliver Messiaen pieces are his first official recordings ever, dating from 1946 & 1947, and orginally released on 78 by Pathe. Both are beautifully performed by a young Yvonne Loriod. Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revueltas are Mexico's leading twentieth century composers. Their works are relentless and uncompromising, possessing an Indian quality that is also contemporary in spirit. Toccata is for percussion only while Revueltas' thrilling Sensemaya is the premiere recording made by Leopold Stokowski in 1947. Lou Harrison was a contemporary of John Cage and Harry Partch. 'Canticle No. 3' for ocarina and percussion is a evocative haunting work, intended to evoke ancient Mexico.

Despite this hallowed company, our boys remained resolutely in command, emerging as gifted writers, arrangers and performers in the process. "Of Cabbages And Kings" was their finest half hour, bursting with invention and experimentation - just witness the sidelong "Progress Suite" for proof of their ambition. Produced in cooperation with Chad & Jeremy themselves! Wonderfully remastered by Norman Blake at Studio 3 and featuring out-takes and alternate versions!

concert, taped at the Kleine Westfalenhalle in Dortmund on November 28th, 1980. Cipollina
made American Rock history as a co-founder of Quicksilver Messenger Service. Gravenites
took the Chicago Blues west with his band Electric Flag. He also produced the first album
by Quicksilver Messenger Service. The openness of the Bay Area music scene was on a par
with one of the Rockpalast credos: always get the musicians together on stage for a final
jam session! SPV.
COMMANDER CODY - VOL. 1-ROCKPALAST-BLUES ROCK LEGENDS $20.95
Rockpalast was, and remains, one of Germany's most popular music television shows since it

had already reached cult status with his band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.
Their music consisted of Boogie, Rock 'N' Roll and Country (albeit the latter not of the
"perfect world" variety but with an edge), all performed with high spirits. The
audience enjoyed a cheerful "cinema performance" which had them all move their
limbs. Nearly 30 years later, it's time to enjoy this performance again. 17 tracks. SPV

recordings including 'Raise A Voice' and 'War Games' (initially the theme to the film of
the same name but cut from the film). 10 tracks including 'For What It's Worth', 'Dark
Star' and more. Rhino UK.
DEEP PURPLE - LIVE AT INGLEWOOD '68 $20.95
2009 archive live release from the British rockers’ Mk 1 line-up. So little evidence
of this line-up's live act remains that this tape, the only surviving recording of the
first incarnation of Deep Purple on stage, is of great interest, with the band exhibiting
a brash confidence in front of 16,000 Cream fans. As a support act, Deep Purple's set was
a little shorter than normal but despite the passing of over 40 years, it's still an
exciting experience. The sound, taken from an original Sony open reel, isn't bad at all
once you get used to the ambience, with just a little distortion in the second number and
someone in the audience heard near the microphone at one or two quiet moments. It was
first released officially several years ago by Sonic Zoom but has been long out of print.
Due to many requests it has now been added to the immensely popular Official Archive
Collection, with a new cover, and a 12 page booklet. Purple.
DEEP PURPLE - LIVE AT LONG BEACH 1976 (EXPANDED) 2CD $22.95

Euro collection of live recordings from Deep Purple MK.II & Ian Gillan Band. 11
tracks.
DOLBY,THOMAS - FLAT EARTH-EXPANDED $14.95
Thomas Dolby became one of the most recognizable figures of the synth-pop movement of
early-'80s new wave. Dolby successfully harnessed the power of synthesizers and samplers,
to make catchy pop and light electro-funk. Following the (1984) single
"Hyperactive," his career faded away, as he began producing more frequently, as
well as exploring new synthesizer and computer technology. Dolby continued to record into
the '90s, but by then, he was strictly a cult act. The Flat Earth was Dolby's sophomore
album release, in 1984, its sophisticated sound was a battle cry to any doubters,
combining Dolby's signature keyboards into a more organic, layered sound.
"Hyperactive!" -the result of a bizarre evening spent at Michael Jackson's house
-- bore the most fruit, repeating the success of "....Science" in Britain, and
scoring Thomas his first Top 20 hit in his home country. The epic "Dissidents"
felt most at home as a 12"- revisits Dolby's love of cold war espionage, and at the
other end of the spectrum, the haunting Dan Hicks' ballad "I Scare Myself" is
turned into a piano-led affair with a sexy, sultry video. The latter is a solo embodiment
of the shimmering, breathy sound that would form the heart of the Prefab Sprout sound he
was integral to creating - production values which he has said he ranks amongst his
personal career highs.
DOLBY,THOMAS - GOLDEN AGE OF WIRELESS-EXPANDED CD/DVD $29.95
Digitally remastered and expanded two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition of the British

Wireless was recorded using primarily borrowed studio time and featuring musicians paid
with funds raised by session work with other artists. A while after completion, it was
picked up by EMI for the UK and by an EMI partner in the US resulting in a number of
variations before it's final release. This release has been restored to its original
sequence, remastered and with the addition of a few peripheral songs and rarities along
with the individual song notes, should help tell the complete story. EMI. 2009.

FAIRPORT CONVENTION - LIEGE & LIEF (180 GR) $29.98
Fairport Convention are an English folk rock and later electric folk band, formed in 1967
who are still recording and touring today. They are regarded as the most important single
group in the English folk rock movement. Their seminal album Liege and Lief is generally
considered to have launched the electric folk or English folk rock movement, which
provided a distinctively English identity to rock music and helped awaken much wider
interest in traditional music in general.
FAUST - SO FAR (180 GR) $24.98
Exact reissue (including reproductions of all ten original inserts) of the band's second
album, from 1972. Received a 9.6 rating from Pitchfork Media.
FOXX JOHN / GUTHRIE ROBIN - MIRRORBALL $25.98
Like John Foxx's recent A Secret Life album with Steve Jansen (ex-Japan), his
collaboration with Robin Guthrie was an idea that began when the pair performed at a
Harold Budd concert in May 2005. Layers of echoes and reverberations are explored on
Mirrorball, so that Guthrie's unique playing merges with abstract, often improvised vocals
- a style which Foxx has explored on his own Cathedral Oceans albums. Robin Guthrie has
scored two movies in recent years – Greg Araki's Mysterious Skin and the Dany
Saadia-directed 3:19. He has recorded instrumental albums Imperial and Continental and
also several collaborations with pianist Harold Budd, the most recent being Before The Day
Breaks and After The Night Falls in 2007. The former Cocteau Twins guitarist and producer
has also toured extensively with his hour-long film Lumičre, and recently premiered the
follow up, Galerie, both films being created as backdrops for his atmospheric, hypnotic
guitar-based instrumentals – a style th

QUEST FOR FIRE - QUEST FOR FIRE $18.98
''Toronto's Quest For Fire conjure up the original root of psychedelia with the raunch,
muscle, and oscillations of Hawkwind and Comets On Fire, and Pink Floyd's sensory
panorama, all resting on a simplistic, plodding Spacemen 3 thump...The band's sound comes
across fully realized, they possess a signature sound, something a band usually gets to
once they're already a couple of records deep'' - Montreal Mirror. ''Quest For Fire's
debut could be the rallying point to unite aged Hendrix hippies and new-school Dead Meadow
bong-loaders alike...proof that whatever fire these dudes are searching for has most
definitely been found'' - Eye Weekly.

SHORTER WAYNE - SOOTHSAYER $21.98
The Soothsayer may be comparably less of a benchmark in Wayne Shorter's discography, and
remains to some extent overshadowed by its close contemporary Speak No Evil (Blue Note,

session and the original LP release.

BENNO MARC - I GOT IT BAD $13.98
From his work with Leon Russell on the Asylum Choir albums to his appearance on the Doors,
LA Woman, to his work as a second guitarist for Lightnin’ Hopkins, Marc Benno has
been an important part of the music scene for over 40 years. This veteran songwriter and
musician returns with an album of original blues tunes featuring the West Side Horns from
San Antonio and including Jimmie Vaughan’s drummer George Rains and Sir Douglas

that explores blues through heavy metal. Includes one bonus track. Digipak packaging.
HAROLD BUDD / CLIVE WRIGHT - CANDYLION $12.98
Darla is pleased to offer a new collaborative effort from Harold Budd and Clive Wright.
Candylion contrasts previous work, A Songs for Lost Blossoms, in that it is more
thoughtful and structured. Still, it constantly surprises the listener with a fresh
collage of aural landscapes and moods. Sometimes it evokes the feeling of a traditional

hard traditional blues and big, knotty blues-rock. These two discs are the first

album, Wheels Within Wheels (released posthumously).
