Time of the Last Persecution
Time of the Last Persecution is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Bill Fay, released in 1971 by Deram Records. Following the baroque pop tendencies of his self-titled debut, Fay stripped away the orchestral arrangements for a darker, more intimate vision that would prove to be his most enduring work. Proper Records is proud to present this apocalyptic folk-rock masterpiece on 180g vinyl. Written and recorded during a time when Fay was obsessing over the Biblical books of Danie…
Bill Fay
Enigmatic UK-based singer and pianist Bill Fay's dark and haunting work gained him a strong cult following in the late 60s and early 70s. He released two albums on the Deram label in the early 70s and promptly disappeared into relative obscurity for 30+ years. In the last decade, those albums have finally begun to get the recognition they deserve, and Proper Records is proud to bring them back into circulation on 180g vinyl. First up is his self-titled 13-track debut from 1970, an absolute class…
Untitled White Album
In 1974, Hiroshi Tanaka and Yoichi Fuwa, the self-proclaimed heirs of the Beatles, crammed into a 75 square foot room and recorded over 50 songs, all without names. 19 of those songs would be self released on a record titled “Untitled White Album”, of which only 100 copies were pressed.
Their music is like a fairy tale. It’s leisurely and relaxed yet bursting at the seams with melodies and youthful ambition. Its whole attitude is gentle but splendid in evoking tears, anger, sentimentality, infat…

Last year, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake’s untimely passing—yet his music remains as vital as ever. His influence stretches far and wide, inspiring artists across generations, from Liz Phair and Radiohead’s Philip Selway to Let’s Eat Grandma and Fontaines D.C., all of whom paid tribute on 2023’s The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake. But while covers keep his spirit alive, nothing compares to hearing the man himself. And now, for the first time, we’re getting a …

The Suite
*2025 stock* In 1975, Snakes Alive released a rare album with only 50 copies, blending Progressive Rock and Jazz with a mix of guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, woodwinds, and trumpet.

Piece Of Mind (Lp)
