Seconds
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere vinyl edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s marvelous score for John Frankenheimer’s sci-fi-horror-drama cult classic Seconds (1966). Seconds starred Rock Hudson – in an astonishing change of pace, as the film campaign ads said – as an unhappy middle-aged banker who agrees to a procedure that will fake his death and give him a completely new look and identity. But it comes with its own price.
Jerry Goldsmith’s fascinating sc…

Magical Nights – Saigon Surf, Twist & Soul (1964-1966)
Tip! *In process of restocking* In 2010, Sublime Frequencies released Saigon Rock and Soul, a compilation of wartime rock ‘n’ roll tracks from Vietnamese groups with distinctly American influences. Included among them was “Đêm Huyền Diệu (Magical Night)”, a slinky, horn-packed song attributed to a young singer known as Phương Tâm, though it later turned out to be artist Connie Kim’s rendition.Magical Nights: Saigon Surf Twist & Soul makes up for this error and then some, putting Tâm’s powerful v…
Liguria Transatlantica / Bossa Figgeu
Compiled by Ma Nu in partnership with Denis Longhi. "South American Jazz & Bossanova flavours from 60s & 70s in Liguria, north west Italy. Melody sounds really close to Brazilian Portuguese and instrumental tracks smells of South American Jazz. Nonetheless, the sound landscape clearly reflects the Italian Library Music of the time. This mingling was made possible by the commercial and cultural interconnections during the discovery of the New World: the local Ligurian language was influenced by …

Fused!
**2022 stock** Davani's solo 1960s album (billed to "the Dave Davani Four) was a very respectable instrumental soul-jazz effort, with Davani's Hammond organ backed by the sort of sleek electric guitar and sturdy rhythm section one would have expected from mid-'60s Prestige soul-jazz sessions. Davani was a little (but not much) more pop-slanted than the average such Prestige act, particularly on the cover of "Big Boss Man," which with its harmonica and tambourine shows the influence of mid-'60s B…

Frälst! A Selection Of Swedish Christian Grooves 1969-1979
This collection presents some of the best and unique music that could be found on rare records released by the Swedish Christian communities between 1969-1979. Between doubt and faith, there was way out pop, gospel, funk, rock and psychedelic sounds with wah-wah fuzz guitars and conga rhythms.

Several of these cuts are from ultra-rare records that are known only to collectors, while others are from records so obscure that on…
Science Fiction Dance Party
Back in 1968 a pair of Germanic behind-the-scenes sound librarians called Horst Ackermann and Heribert Thusek left a tiny, but indelible, pinprick on the history of German Pop in the misshaped form of a sexy horror cash-in concept album called Dracula’s Music Cabinet. Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets easy listening meets psychedelia the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s in the hands of a generation of ‘record diggers’ sending curr…

Cambodian Nuggets
Tip! **2021 Stock. Edition of 500 ** Before the Khmer Rouge took power in 1975, unleashing a horrifying genocide, Cambodia had one of the most vibrant and exciting music scenes in Asia. With a mixture of traditional Khmer music and a myriad of western genres (from French and latin music, to rock-and-roll , rhythm-and-blues, surf, psychedelia, soul and many more) the few pre 75 Cambodian recordings that survived -most of them were destroyed- are enough to make anyone with a taste for good music s…

The Age of Electronicus
In astounding gatefold sleeve, tip! Dick Hyman’s 1969 opus, The Age of Electronicus - a visionary, funky excursion into the vast potential presented by the newly developed Moog synthesizer - stands as a shining example of the post-war avant-garde’s infiltration of the popular realm.
