The Hunter (Drama Suite) / Adventure Story
"The Hunter (Drama Suite) / Adventure Story" is a real library-head’s library album. Both sides are dripping with insidious grooves and dramatic spy-score themes, bursting with heavy guitars, swirling flutes, creeping piano-funk and drum breaks galore. Originally released by KPM in 1975, it’s clear that these library heroes were heavily influenced by the tough funk and street soul sonics emerging from the cutting edge Blaxploitation soundtracks.
Visual Impact
Arguably the single greatest album in KPM history. An ensemble piece of staggeringly heavy works from none other than Brian Bennett, John Scott, Steve Gray, Jim Lawless and Johnny Pearson. Originally released in 1976 but wonderfully timeless, Visual Impact is a rare example of a library record that’s genuinely great listen from start to finish.
75
Funky soul-jazz organist Caesar Frazier crafted superior Hammond funk. "75", his second LP, is a rare gem. It’s comfortably his greatest artistic statement. A taut, grooving set of expressive jazz-funk, it's a mixture of hard-driving originals, deeply beautiful slower numbers to vary the tempo and a couple of classy covers.

Abarten Der Körperlichen Liebe
Rare find! - Real detective work was necessary until this amazing unreleased music production by Dieter Reith, Abarten Der KöLiebe (Degenerated Love) from 1970 showed up in the archive of a German porn movie company.

Uzelli Elektro Saz
"After Uzelli released its Psychedelic Anadolu selection in 2017, we began working on this second album with our dear friend Osman Murat Ertel. When we opened up this archive to Murat, a lover, aficionado and player of the electric saz, we supposed that he would make a selection under that title. But multifaceted artist that he is, Murat went far beyond merely making a selection, and took on the project in its entirety. His wife Esma, who had contributed her energy and experience from the beginn…
Summertime Killer
The Summertime Killer, a crime movie and a love story, was directed in 1972 by Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi and starred Christopher Mitchum, Karl Malden, Olivia Hussey and Claudine Auger among others. Academy award winning composer Luis Bacalov wrote the score which perfectly reflects the core of the plot, with a strange mix of love and death. The composer alternates dramatically suspenseful score with ‘source music’ in the form of ballad, rock music and dance floor tunes, usually heard through a car…
Diapositive
**100 copies, clear vinyl with printed slipcase and handwritten notes + Obi with liner notes and info, also alvailable on standard black vinyl** Beside the telluric year in pop music and culture, 1977 was still ranked as the future for Italian leftfield composers. Published by roman imprint Gemelli and credited to the elusive Massimo Guantini (none else than influential jazz player and composer Sandro Brugnolini), Diapositive is a fully cinematic journey in the realm of sci-fi and cool jazz. Ful…
Daydream
**150 copies** One of the coolest albums ever from the legendary Cometa sound library – a set that’s every bit as weird and wonderful as you’d guess from its cover image of a hand holding a flower with eyeballs on each petal! The music’s maybe not as trippy as that picture, but it does have lots of cool and groovy touches – sweet Fender Rhodes at some points, jazzy reeds at others, and even some more evocative passages that almost have a deeper soundtrack vibe – but which soon return to the kind…
Echoing America
**150 copies, clear vinyl** A record that definitely lives up to its title – an obscure Italian sound library session that blends instrumental touches that evoke an America at the start of the 70s with some of the hipper, deeper currents you’d expect from the team of Stefano Torossi and Giovanni Tommaso. There’s plenty of expected sound library funk in the mix here in a way that makes for one of the most unique sound library sessions we’ve ever heard.
Fastness / Coagulation
When we talk about Tullio de Piscopo (Naples, 1946) we’re talking of a living legend of drums, whose career dates back to 1969. In 1971, tired of commuting from Naples to Milan, he moved to Milan for good where he joined as a drummer the group of Gianni Basso and Oscar Valdambrini. Shortly after, he recorded his very first single on a 45 under the moniker of Jujuy, for Aldo Pagani’s label Analogy, with cat. number 'TRE 0'.Recorded in 1971, but only published in 1973, Fastness and Coagulation are…
Jayeche
**475 copies ** The rare and sought-after third album by Venezualan keyboard legend Vytas Brenner, first released in 1975 under the band name Ofrenda, stands as arguably his crowning achievement in a career in which he successfully managed to build a bridge between his homeland's traditional music, jazz fusion of a distinctly Weather Report / Return To Forever stripe, and a generous helping of kosmische stargazing. The result is a groove-driven, exotic and richly psychedelic confection that has …
I Cannibali
**350 copies** "We’re stoked to announce the release of I Cannibali (aka "The Cannibals" / "The Year of the Cannibals"), score to the dystopic 1970’s movie by Liliana Cavani, composed and orchestrated by Maestro Ennio Morricone and conducted by Bruno Nicolai.Available for the first time ever on vinyl, the opus features vocal apprerances of Don Powell and Audrey Nohra Stainton as well as the glorious choir I Cantori Moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni, also including alternate takes and previously…
Space Funk: Afro-Futurist Electro Funk in Space 1976-84
**1.000 copies** "The Black and Latin American space programme of the late '70s and early '80s was born on dancefloors and took more bodies into orbit than NASA ever did. Space Funk: Afro Futurist Electro Funk In Space 1976-84 charts a major phase shift between boogie-disco and electro-funk that came about as African American and Latin American artists really embraced the potential of computers and synths to express their ideas about alienation and utopian escapism. Taking cues from science fict…
Un urlo dalle tenebre
**300 copies** The previously unreleased on vinyl original full soundtrack written by Giuliano Sorgini for the occult 1975 film directed by Elio Pannacciò. The result of a co-production between Sonor and the historical Digitmovies label for a strict limited edition of 300 copies worldwide with a stunning artwork designed by Luca Barcellona. A very obscure and macabre score about exorcism and the struggle between good and evil written by the cult composer, providing insane, spectral horror music …
Body Music
**Royal blue vinyl edition** Ken Elliott was the keyboard player for Second Hand and Seventh Wave, two obscure and elusive bands from the Seventies British underground scene, and this is the first ever reissue of his ultra rare gem released in the UK in 1979. After fourty years Body Music still sounds as a highly eclectic album. This is groove oriented music based on a series of both motoric and infectious Electro Funk rhythms and Synth Pop Disco elements. In other words this is great fuel for d…
