Psych /
Stepson
US Heavy rock band Los Angeles-based, active in the 1st half of the 70s. Stepson was formed in 1972 by Bruce Hauser (bass), Jeffrey Hawks (vocals), Vern Kjellberg (aka Joey Newman) (guitar) and Len Fagan (drums). Hauser, Hawks and Newman hailed from cult psych-rockers Touch (one album in 1969), whilst Fagan had been member of the country-rock group Wichita Fall (one album in 1968). The music of the band is a powerful and high-energy hard blues rock, a cross between MC5, Bloodrock , Mountain and …
Dust
Three piece U.S. hard rock outfit formed in 1969 that released two albums. At the time of their release, the albums were not successful but have grown to have cult status over the years.
Guitarist and vocalist Richie Wise went on to write songs and produce records for Kama Sutra with Dust producer Kenny Kerner.
The pair went on to produce the first two Kiss albums.
Bassist Kenny Aaronson is a notable touring and sessions bass player having worked with Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol and ma…
Hard Attack
Released in 1972 on Kama Sutra, Hard Attack is a heavy rock burner from New York trio Dust. Packed with searing riffs, wild energy, and the powerhouse drumming of Marc Bell (later Marky Ramone), it’s a raw, intense listen that still hits with full force. A true cult classic.
Adonia
Recorded across a single sweltering Paris summer in June 1978, Adonia - the lone album credited to Ose - captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination, and emerging technology. For decades it has lingered as one of the great half-secrets of French electronic music's most fertile decade, traded between collectors who understood exactly what they were holding.
At just twenty-six, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the Frenc…
Sowiesoso
** 50th anniversary Limited Edition ** The fourth full-length album by legendary German electronic music duo Cluster, originally released on Sky Records in 1976. Sowiesoso follows on from their most highly-acclaimed album, Zuckerzeit (1974). Michael Rother's influence was clearly audible on the latter, Cluster having already recorded two albums with him under the name of Harmonia. 1976 saw the duo looking for new musical forms. More than any other Cluster album, Sowiesoso represents the utopian …
High Oxygen Blood
"Another mind-blasting slab from the band that emerged from the exquisitely raw chaos of Up-Tight. Guitarist Aoki Tomoyuki, who founded and led Up-Tight from 1992 to 2024, is one of the prime exponents of Japanese string-based underground insanity. His approach combines the psychedelic flow of White Heaven's You Ishihara with the scuzz-dynamism of High Rise's Munehiro Narita and the experimental distentions of Fushisusha-era Keiji Haino. Up-Tight's records were all sold blurts of N Generation Ja…
Roll 'Em Smoke 'Em Put Another Line Out
The third and most untamed chapter in the brief, brilliant life of Patto. Originally issued in October 1972 on Island, Roll 'Em Smoke 'Em Put Another Line Out arrives via Guerssen in a remastered vinyl edition, faithful to the original cardboard sleeve and accompanied by an insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos and memorabilia.
Patto formed in London in 1970 from the ashes of Timebox - the lineup uniting vocalist Mike Patto, bassist Clive Griffiths, drummer John Hal…
Sixties Japanese Garage/Psych Rarities Vol.2
Here's for the real thing! Sixties Japanese Garage/Psych Rarities Vol. 2 uncovers a lost vein of cosmic rock from late‑1960s Japan, presenting a vivid collection of raw, psychedelic sounds from the heart of the Group Sounds movement. This second volume brings together rare singles, private-press gems and previously uncompiled studio cuts that reveal how Japanese bands absorbed and reimagined Western garage, soul and acid rock into something entirely their own.
Featuring early and hard-to-find re…
Songs Before Bed (2022)
Songs Before Bed (2022) marks Otto Benson’s first physical release under his own name, following earlier work under aliases including Memo Boy, OTTO, and Pudding Club.
Originally published as a digital-only release through Otto's own WNOADIARWB website and platforms on New Year's Eve 2022, Songs Before Bed bridges the gap between the more experimental psychedelic electronic works of OTTO and his most recent release, the acclaimed Peanut, released on NYE 2025. Blending brief pop fragments with me…
Totem Three
This is the final offering before entering the new wave of the failed future from MMOB. Totem Three journeys from quiet Bardo womb choosing meditations and instrumental mantras to the delusional glee of Kali Yugafied Indian rock. Totem Three is the most diverse and heartfelt of the Totem trilogy. A steady pulsating musical mirror prison expressing the atrophy of our "modern world" through No-Age hallucinations of passionate and unfolding melodies. A blissful mirage filled caravan with no destin…
One
Anonymous transmissions from a spectral, dead-of-night mystery zone. Recorded in 1996 and originally release by Japan's enigmatic La Musica Records label on limited cassette. A group that deconstructs and liberates the chance nature of contemporary classical and noise music enough so that their boundaries blur. Available for the first time on vinyl and digital. Recorded in 1996 and released without any identifying credits in an essentially private cassette edition, Bibiotheca Hermetica's sole re…
Standing Stone (LP)
2026 Repress Black vinyl. LP + Download Card. Hard cardboard sleeve + OBI. Insert with liner notes by Richard Allen & rare photos. Sourced from the original master tapes. Part-time farmer / musician Oliver Chaplin is the person behind one of the rarest private pressings from the UK.
His cult masterpiece “Standing Stone” was recorded in early 1974 at a remote farm in Wales, using a portable 4-track Teac reel-to-reel machine. Helped by his brother Chris at the controls (an experienced BBC engineer…
The Final Painting
Time stands stunningly still on The Final Painting, the dreamy, elegiac final album from legendary underground singer-songwriter/poet/painter Ed Askew.
Oakland Coliseum, May 9, 1977
On Oakland Coliseum, May 9, 1977, Pink Floyd deliver a legendary "In The Flesh" tour performance, working through Animals and Wish You Were Here before closing with "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" - the last time the band would ever play the explosive 1968 rarity together.
Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall
On Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall, Pink Floyd deliver The Wall in full at Nassau Coliseum on February 28, 1980, captured in a limited bootleg edition that documents one of rock's most elaborate spectacles during the album's brief, expensive first tour across three vinyl discs and Gerald Scarfe artwork.
United for Live 8
On United For Live 8, Pink Floyd's classic lineup - David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason - reunite at Hyde Park on July 2, 2005 for a charged, twenty‑minute set that proves both redemptive and bittersweet, the first time in twenty‑four years and the last ever together.
Rest In Peace: The Final Concert
On Rest In Peace: The Final Concert, Bauhaus capture their 1983 Hammersmith Palais swan song across two discs, delivering gothic rock's founding quartet - Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins - at their theatrical, darkly charged peak before dissolving into legend.
Across The Borderline
On Across The Borderline, The Byrds blaze through a November 1971 Vancouver concert at PNE Gardens, captured in a limited bootleg edition that documents the band's late‑era country‑rock sound as it stretched between cosmic Americana and road‑worn grit.
Live
2026 Record Store Day Reprise of the 1968 album 'live' by the 13th Floor Elevators. Panned at the time for being billed as "live" when in fact it was a compilation of previosuly recorded studio masters, outtakes and alternate mixes. The "very loud" crowd noise was overdubbed and was actually taken from a boxing match and wholly inappropriate for the purpose. Now, almost 60 years on, the album masters are available, in their original sequence, without the crowd noise, to be enjoyed in their full …
Oar
Canadian-born Alexander 'Skip' Spence was the co-founder of Moby Grape, and played guitar with them until 1969. In the same year he released his only solo album: Oar. The album was recorded after Spence had spent six months in a mental institution following a delusion-driven attempt to attack his Moby Grape band mates with a fire axe, after having ingested LSD. As the urban myth goes, on the day of his release he drove a motorcycle - dressed in only his pyjamas - directly to Nashville to record …
