Stoned Guitar
Recorded in the spring of 1970, this legendary album shows why many consider The Human Instinct to be the finest psychedelic rock band ever to emerge from New Zealand. Led by drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer and featuring the guitar pyrotechnics of the legendary Billy Te Kahika, Stoned Guitar has long been established as a classic hard psychedelic rock album.
Parallelograms
Combining fragile and beautifully melodic acid folk with perfectly-rendered electronic effects, this remarkable album consists of what its creator describes as ‘visual music’. First released in 1970, it has gone on to become one of the most legendary and well-loved recordings of its time. It’s presented here with the full collaboration of its enigmatic creator.
Raw Material
The 1970 debut by this London-based quintet, originally released on the small Evolution label and now a sought-after grail of British proto-prog. One of the earliest documents of progressive rock in the making - raw, unpolished, absolutely essential.
Raw Material emerged from the late-sixties London underground: Colin Catt on keyboards and vocals, Dave Green on guitar, Phil Gunn on bass, Paul Young on drums, and Mick Fletcher on saxophone, flute and harmonica. The group had its roots in R&B jam …
Persian Carpets
Second LP of duets by these longtime VHF family staples, here delivering 2 side-long epics of “minimalist” bliss. Both sides feature Daniel O'Sullivan on piano and Richard Youngs on zither, with rippling waves of sound recalling classics like Charlemagne Palestine’s “Strumming Music” (Dan is a frequent collaborator with C.P.) and Richard’s “Advent.” “Persian Carpets I” is a real-humans performance full of tiny variants in rhythm and attack, rising and falling in intensity – sometimes a rush of s…
M
A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Asahito Nanjo, the notorious leader of some of Japan’s key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990’s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital. “A compilation of secret projects recorded over a period of twenty years…
Eclipse
Recorded in 1973, Eclipse was intended as Jade Warrior's fourth Vertigo release but was shelved before pressing, circulating only as rare test pressings. Restored with the band's original running order and period artwork, this is top notch British progressive rock, blending delicate acoustic passages with bursts of heavy-rock intensity, African, and Middle Eastern rhythms. The missing link between Last Autumn's Dream and their later Island-era sound. Sourced and remastered from the original mast…
Hold Your Fire
Rising from the ashes of Timebox, Patto delivered a bold fusion of progressive rock, jazz, and blues powered by Mike Patto's soulful vocals and Ollie Halsall's stunning guitar work. Their second album, Hold Your Fire (1971), originally on Vertigo, is a true gem of early '70s progressive rock. Comes with original artwork in gimmix gatefold sleeve. Remastered by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos/memorabilia.
Patto
Formed in London in 1970, Patto evolved from the legendary Timebox and were known for their unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, blues, and their exceptional musicianship. Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo. Comes in original gatefold artwork in textured sleeve. Features stereo mixes and mastering by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki an…
H.P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Rock is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released in October 1967 by Philips Records, this cult classic returns to vinyl, restoring its haunting, eerie ambiance for a new generation of psych explorers.
Blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, H.P. Lovecraft draws direct inspiration from the cosmic horror tales of author H.P. Lovecraft—the band's namesake. The albu…
The Beat of the Earth
Cosmic Rock Records proudly announces the long-awaited reissue of The Beat of the Earth, the ultra-rare debut album from the enigmatic experimental jam band The Beat of the Earth. Formed in 1967 amid the sun-soaked vibes of Orange County, California, this elusive artifact was originally released in minuscule quantities on Radish Records—a obscure private press label that barely scratched the surface of the era's underground scene.
Guided by the visionary Phil Pearlman (later the mastermind behin…
Relatively Clean Rivers
*2026 repress!* Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of Relatively Clean Rivers came out the same year on the leader Phil Pearlman label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly …
Momentaufnahme III
*2025 stock* Faust is a group of artists who shared intense musical experiences with each other between 1971 and 1974. Supported by producer Uwe Nettelbeck and sound engineer Kurt Graupner, they produced a wealth of recordings in a studio in Wümme that was set up especially for them. This was followed by two compact album productions, recorded at Manor (21–31 March 1973) and Musicland Studios (6–12 May 1974). This album presents a selection of recordings from this period that document their crea…

La Nueva Normalidad
With La Nueva Normalidad, the Rome-based cult band Mushroom’s Patience comes together very deliberately as a tight three-piece: Raf Cerroni, also known as Dither Craf, who has been the artistic force and conceptual mind behind the band since its founding 40 years ago; J. Weber (of Austrian Nový Svět); and Léo Maury (of French Niedowierzanie). It seems I’m not the only one who sees this lineup as the perfect fit – a true supergroup for the band. Alongside their voices and compositions, each membe…
The Golden Seal
Unreleased 80s psychedelic funk rock out of Boston, MA. Influenced by Funkadelic, Sly Stone and James Brown, to name a few.
The Rotters' Club
* 50th Anniversary Expanded Edition 2LP, 180g audiophile vinyl * The Canterbury scene produced some of British progressive rock's most distinctive and enduring music - a sound that owed as much to jazz and the European avant-garde as to rock, delivered with a peculiarly English wit and warmth. At the heart of this movement stood Hatfield and the North, a band whose brief existence between 1972 and 1975 yielded two albums that remain touchstones for adventurous listeners five decades later.

Monster A Go-Go (Teen Trash From Psychedelic Tokyio '66-'69)
*2026 repress!!!* Sought-after compilation exploring the Group Sound movement that swept Japan in the mid 1960s. Under the influence of the Beatles dozens of Japanese bands devoted themselves to exporting a wide genre that ranged from surf-rock, garage fuzz, psych and wild R&B. Featuring the influential The Mops, the Filipino band (relocated to Hong Kong) D’Swooners and The Golden Cups.
Sixties Japanese Garage Psych Sampler
*2026 repress!!* Here's for the real thing! A late 60s Japanese compilation investigating the so-called "group sound" movement. Includes early recordings by a series of musicians later to perform with legendary bands such as the Flower Travellin' Band, Speed Glue & Shinki, Les Rallizes Denudes and Foodbrain. Must have !
Love And Poetry
Totally trippy Irish psychedelia for the morning after the ‘Summer of Love’. Led by Belfast-born prodigy David Lewis, Andwellas Dreams' debut album Love and Poetry from 1969 blurs the line between Denmark Street and Cyprus Avenue. A 13-song pastoral fever dream that was lost in the CBS warehouse, now remastered and restored to its original splendour.
