Psych /
Good Bye
Their sophomore release, after their supreme 1972 psychedelic debut, is a proto-hard rock affair. The Japanese power trio is in a more enthusiastic jammin' mode, with deep heavy blues notation. Ensure this lost classic now and forever!
Rainbow Band
The Danish prog band was nothing short of a supergroup, established in early 1970 by local leading rock and jazz artists. Their self-titled debut was released in December, before lead vocalist Lars Bisgaard was suddenly replaced by Alan Mortesen. This magnificent opus is a must have for any jazz-rock and psych-folk aficionados.
Unrest
*2025 warehouse found* Dating from 1974, and following on from the re-release of Legend, this is the second in our series of vinyl reissues of the original Virgin albums. Geoff Leigh had left the group and Lindsay Cooper joined on bassoon, oboe, flute, soprano sax. The mix was more 'live' than Legend, with the drums much more up front. The first half is highly composed material, with some of the Henry Cow's best loved tunes, like 'Half Asleep Half Awake' and 'Bittern Storm Over Ulm'. For the sec…
Western Culture
*2025 warehouse found* On vinyl, this is a reissue of the final Henry Cow record, originally released in 1979 after the group had officially disbanded. The LP features guest appearances by Irene Schweitzer and Anne-Marie Roeloffs. Following their split with Virgin, the group's history became complicated; bass player John Greaves left, and after a dispute in the recording studio, what was intended as the next Henry Cow album mutated into the Art Bears' much respected Hopes and Fears. In 1978 the …
Where Are We Going
*200 copies limited edition* After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymo…
Moonmadness
2025 stock Moonmadness was originally released in March 1976. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental The Snow Goose in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The tracks that comprised the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; Air Born about Andrew Latimer, Lunar Sea about Andy Ward, Chord Change…

Easter Everywhere
2025 stock 1967 second studio album by the Texan pioneers of psychedelia. This ground-breaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but informed punk a decade later, and even the 90’s indie-dance music scene with Primal Scream’s cover of ‘Slip Inside This House’ on their classic Screamadelica LP
Originally issued in November 1967 - copies barely trickled out of Texas, making original pressings not only expensive but clean copies impossible to find even 50 years ago.Therefore, meticulous atten…

Autodidact
"I recorded the bulk of this record over a weekend in January 2018, in the midst of a very minor breakdown that was to last for prettymuch the entire year. I was living in a big house all on my own, smoking too much and not really seeing any people. Happy days indeed. It was tracked in the back room of 97 Hambledon Road, Middlesbrough using two questionable microphones, a broken HH 100 amp, my friends drums and a Tascam DP08 (that wasn't to see the year out, RIP 2009-2018) When I was done, Robbi…

Here’s a bit about the album in Oli’s own words.
‘Wild Nature was originally recorded sporadically during the first half of 2019. It started life in one house, then I moved and it was finished in another. I remembe…

The Making of Five Leaves Left
Last year, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake’s untimely passing—yet his music remains as vital as ever. His influence stretches far and wide, inspiring artists across generations, from Liz Phair and Radiohead’s Philip Selway to Let’s Eat Grandma and Fontaines D.C., all of whom paid tribute on 2023’s The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake. But while covers keep his spirit alive, nothing compares to hearing the man himself. And now, for the first time, we’re getting a …
Un peu de l'âme des bandits
A pinnacle of the Rock In Opposition movement. Second and final album from Belgian avant-rock pioneers Aksak Maboul, recorded with ex-Henry Cow members Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. More intense and experimental than their playful 1977 debut Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine, yet no less unpredictable. Reached #3 in NME's top ten European albums of 1980, after Yello and The Nits, before Steve Reich and Faust.
Marc Hollander founded Crammed Discs specifically to release this record - the labe…
