This compilation simply needs to be heard to be believed. Who knew that a psychedelic beat garage scene thrived in the pre-revolution Iran of the 1960s? As revealed herein, artists such as Googoosh and Kourosh and groups such as the Littles, the Flowers, and the Golden Ring did their best to muster echoes of the Shadows, the Ventures, the Beatles, and the Stones, delivering their lyrics in poetic Persian and keeping plenty of reverb on those rocking lead guitar riffs. With tons to discover on th…

Les Idoles is a mythical record of sixties psych rock prefiguring punk. A work which in style had no equivalent in France at the time. Thanks to the performance of the Rollsticks, a rock band created from scratch with musicians from different musical worlds, to accompany the erratic vocalizations of actors Pierre Clémenti, Bulle Ogier, and Jean-Pierre Kalfon. The band consists of Patrick Greussay (later of Calcium) on the drums and guitars, Stephane Vilar (later of Calcium, PLVG), Didier Léon (f…

*2023 stock* This 11-track live compilation, assembled from various venues including German television ("Kick Out the Jams") and Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1969 and New York City in 1970, offers slightly better sound than has been heard on some of the other MC5 archival material that started surfacing in the 1990s. But that's not to say that it plays in any way like an official release -- Rob Tyner's vocals have a problem competing with the guitars of Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer, but s…

*300 copies limited edition* Robby Poitevin (24-10-1926 / 3-10-2003) represents the Italian Film Music school, very close, for its lounge sounds, to that of his American colleagues, such as Lalo Schifrin, Henry Mancini, Quincy Jones and Hugo Montenegro. Other than being an extremely valid arranger and orchestra leader, Maestro Poitevin composed jazz, blues and swing themes, like those for “The hired killer”, which is part of the police and spy current. For this genre, the composer also created o…
Another Piero Umiliani classic gets its first-ever release on 7" vinyl! Shortly after 'Sweden: Heaven and Hell', in 1969 'Angeli Bianchi, Angeli Neri' continued the collaboration between Umiliani and director Luigi Scattini, this time in the direction of magic and esotericism, as the English title of the film, "Witchcraft '70", makes abundantly clear. The two tracks included in this release reflect that direction, which informs more or less the entire score written by the Florentine composer. On…

The history of music largely consists of the word "if." For if Boguslaw "Dizzy" Rudzinski had not emigrated to Sweden in the mid-1960s, the history of Polish jazz might have looked very different. And the songs that appear on the album "Cold Bath" more than half a century after recording - could successfully fill one of the volumes of the "Polish Jazz" series.
Boguslaw Rudzinski, despite his great activity on the music scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, quickly fell into oblivion after emi…
