Dino & Montevideo Blues
Among the greatest artefacts of 1970s Latin American music, Lion Production’s first ever vinyl reissue of Montevideo Blues lone, self-titled LP, stands as a rare document of revolutionary music being made in Uruguay, and a crucial counterpoint to the sounds of Tropicália from Brazil. Fusing the rawness of rock with indigos Uruguayan rhythms, not to mention plenty of heavy grooves, it’s easily one of the most captivating records of its day.
Zone of Swans/Lucid Actual + 1/2 Dativa
* 2021 Stock. 8-page insert booklet contains the Daszu manifesto, poetics for most tracks, a measure of band history, and Part 1 and 2 of Mark Rudolph’s poetry from the Daszu era. Vinyl edition comes in a heavy-duty tip-on jacket. Contains two additional tracks not on the CD edition * If there’s one thing we’ve learned from doing reissues for twenty years, it’s that there is often a lack of justice in the arts.

Aura a.k.a Sativa
* 2021 Stock * Aura was a San Francisco Psych-Funk band that formed in 1974 and played extensively throughout Northern California. By 1976, the band recorded their first and only album at Pacific Recording Studio in San Mateo. The original title of the album was meant to be “Sativa”, but out of fear that promoting the joys of marijuana would be too controversial, the band omitted the title and just left it as “Aura”. Over the ensuing decades, the Aura album has grown in stature to become a major…
49th Parallel
* 2021 Stock. Edition of 500. One of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era. Comes with color insert with band history and photos * In the spring of 1969, 49th Parallel had a hit in with ‘Twilight Woman’, a lovely song that sounds like a poppier version of what bands like Tomorrow were doing in England. That success led to the release of 49th Parallel’s only album. All hyperbole aside, it is easily one of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era. The album is strong throu…
Senza Movente
* Edition of 300 * Quartet Records and GDM present the first vinyl edition of the killer Ennio Morricone score for Senza Movente (aka Sans Mobile Apparent), a 1971 French crime thriller about an investigator (Jean-Louis Trintignant) looking into the murders of seemingly unrelated people, all shot down by a mysterious assassin.

Gohan Ga Dekitayo
Double LP version. Wewantsounds present a 40th anniversary reissue of Akiko Yano's Gohan Ga Dekitayo, originally released in 1980.

Musica Poliformale
**Very rare original 1971 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the legendary Sermi label, a nice sound library record, but one from the 'experimental' side of the 70s spectrum by composer AR Luciani - one side haunting chamber music, the other side darker and more avant-garde. Fantastic cover with a great Futurist design
Europa 1930-1940
**Very rare original 1975 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the collectible Deneb label,aA great early 70s War-themed library LP by Riz AR Luciani! Europa 1930-1940 is crafted with a slightly different feel than usual for the time – almost more straight experimental and darker than the some of the seedier Italian drama sounds of the period.
Barocco 2000
**Very rare original 1972 LP** few copies of this original library album, issued by Maria Teresa Luciani. To quote Finderskeepers that a few years ago reissued her 'Sounds of the City' "Pre-digital, indefinable and genuinely unbelievable. But who is Maria Teresa Luciani? On hearing this record, respected collectors and enthusiasts have suggested "the female answer to Basil Kirchin", or "the Italian Daphne Oram", both with justified cause. Mystery, myth, legend, teacher, artist, inventor, author,…
Situazioni
**Very rare original 1975 LP** few copies, still sealed, of this original library album, issued by the legendary RCA SP Series no less than 45 years ago by Antonino Riccardo Luciani, which includes eleven exclusive compositions, full of stark sounds that often move into atonal areas – sometimes electronic, sometimes spacey – and seemingly repeated using tape tricks or other effects, so that a number of tunes loop back on themselves in a really cool way

Contemporanea
**Very rare original copies of this 1975 LP masterpiece, few available** Another twisted gem from the dark Italian maestro, Egisto Macchi of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza fame. "Contemporanea" was released on the Italian label, Gemelli, in 1975, and was Egisto Macchi's 11th full-length library music LP and largely considered one of his best records. Egisto Macchi happily experiences all the possibilities of sound which at the time, the early seventies, could be imagined recreating a…
Stateless
Guitar improviser Tashi Dorji takes acoustic in hand, recording in a rare studio setting with extra focus and balance.

Cut A Crooked Track
* Edition of 200 copies. Stamped white labels, postcard attached to the cover, insert * Six new tracks from Mark Anderson and Mark Sadgrove, New Zealanders now based in Japan. Obtuse duo skronk starting out on a fairly reasonable note with 'Scantling' but then slowly deconstructing the song format track by track. The Quemada description of their very underrated 2015 12" makes perfect sense on at least the A-side, "image a Back from the Grave band that was weened on Operation of Sonne and fronted…

Swirling and absolutely mesmerizing instrumentals often incorporating field recordings, alternating between acoustic and electric modes. 'Music From…
Dark Ballads
* Edition of 300 * Dark Ballads is the obvious title of this LP, as if this music pre-existed the duo that, without any other choice, was formed around it. Since then, Giotis Damianidis and Audrey Lauro have continued to advance along this straight line that runs through their inner landscapes.
Their music creates a "stretched" emotional space, which evolves in slow motion and captures the fragility of the tone, the tension of the path. Each stage of the record is a mineral evocation of the inti…
