Friendship
*100 copies ultra limited edition!* Junipher Greene was a Norwegian progressive rock band, who were formed in Oslo in 1967. When they released their historic debut album Friendship (called a "milestone" in European progressive rock") in 1971 they became the first Norwegian band ever to release a double LP. These 18 tracks, characterized by their incisive guitar solos, prominent flute and excellent songwriting, are progressive rock at its very best. One of the Genre's true masterworks. It stand…
Welcome
*300 copies limited edition. First ever vinyl reissue* This superb collection of jazztinged psychedelic rock originally appeared in 1970 on Avco Embassy. Boasting the vocal and drumming talents of Jim Hodder (later to join Steely Dan) and guitarist John Sheldon (who'd played with Van Morrison and went on to write for James Taylor), the album is consistently melodic, featuring outstanding musical interplay and glorious guitar solos.
Released here complete with three rare bonus tracks and histor…

Bread Love And Dreams
"The debut album by this two-woman, one-man trio presented contemporary British folk with the slightest of pop and folk-rock edges. The most prominent pop embroidery was found in the occasional sweeping, haunting string arrangements; there were also dabs of organ, harp, and percussion here and there. It was pretty but somewhat bland music on the border of late-'60s British folk-rock, the songs faintly echoing those of U.K. peers such as Donovan and Bert Jansch.
Bread, Love and Dreams had a sligh…
The Farm Band
*Warehouse find! In process of stocking* The Farm Band was unbelievably not the only band that sprung from a hippie farm community in the 70s. Between 1972 and 1977 the band released four albums including this self titled double LP featuring 8 tracks highly influenced by the Grateful Dead-esque psychedelic trips, like in the 17 minute "I Believe It".
St. Radigunds
*Warehouse found! In process of stocking* "The quartet of singer/guitarist/songwriter Martin Cockerham, singer Barbara Gaskin, violinist/keyboardist Julian Cusack, and bassist Steve Borrill were obviously short a member, with future Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks coming on board for the recording of St. Radigunds, the group's debut album. The group's sound was unusual, with Cockerham's brittle, almost adenoidal vocals counterpointed by Gaskin's crystalline tones. Musically, too, the b…
Just Another Diamond Day
Recent repress. Recently voted one of the Top 100 British Albums of all time by the OMM, this mindblowing LP re-release of Vashti's Bunyan's 'Just Another Diamond Day' features the likes of Robert Kirby (of Nick Drake fame), Robin Williamson (Incredible String Band) and the Fairport Convention's Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick, it is also regularly cited as inspiration by Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and Scout Nibblet... Possibly sounding a bit naïve in retrospect, much of 'Just Another Diamon…
The Liquified Throne Of Simplicity
The Slovenian "imaginary folk" trio's most epic and transportive album yet. Powered by acoustic and often handmade instruments, these expansive compositions echo the borderless, collective spirit of groups like Don Cherry's Organic Music Society and Art Ensemble of Chicago
Oar
The haunted genius of Alexander 'Skip' Spence's Oar returns at long last to its original format, the LP. Spence, a founding member of seminal San Fran skull benders Moby Grape, cut his only solo work in Nashville immediately after being released from New York's Bellevue Hospital late in 1968. Unavailable on the collector's market these days at any price, Oar vanished without a trace when first released in 1969. Frequently compared to the likes of Syd Barrett and Nick Drake, Spence's visionary w…
Still Some Light / Part 1 / Piano, Guitar, Bass & Drums
Bill Fay has always sung about attempting to understand the most universal questions: those of nature, spirituality, humanity. His songs are “calming hymns for another chaotic time”, he says. His influence can be traced through many artist’s work, and so it only seemed right to celebrate this with a collection of newer voices interpreting his timeless tracks. Originally released in 2010 by David Tibet (Current 93), Still Some Light was released as a double CD, made up of 70’s album demos (Disc O…

The Broadcast Album 1968 - 1970
In this release the uncharted waters of Fairport Convention’s early voyages across the UK, European and American airwaves are navigated. Fairport initially focused on covers of future classics by US / Canadian singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Richard Farina and Bob Dylan, but delivered these covers in increasingly extended electric versions, becoming England’s answer to Jefferson Airplane. Within two years the band evolved into the prime-movers of British electric folk-ro…
Viaggio

Claudio Rocchi was the original bass guitarist of Stormy Six, and played on their first album Le idee di oggi per la musica di domani, leaving the band soon after the album release for a solo career that started in 1970 with the first album, Viaggio, mainly acoustic and with good flute, with a large use of reverb, feedback and sound experiments
Markley, A Group
“Markley - A Group” is the sixth and final album by the American psychedelic rock group, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, and was released in 1970 on Forward Records, owned by Mike Curb. The album was released under another group name, Markley A Group, as decided by the group owner, Bob Markley. It features compositions by Danny Harris, Michael Lloyd and Shaun Harris with lyrics by Bob himself. The content is simple and soft, reminiscent of the band's earlier work. A gently pop-psych st…
O Mistério Dos Quintais
* Limited LP version. Brazilian Reissue* Reissue, originally released in 1983. O Mistério dos Quintais was released originally in 1983 via some sort of crowdfunding, before the term itself and even the existence of internet. Supporters who invested in the project had their names in the acknowledgements on the first edition insert. Stemming from a great legacy of poetry, Quintal de Clorofila was a duo from the south of Brazil composed by two musician brothers, Dimitri and Negendre Arbo, who turne…
Hölderlins Traum
** The legendary debut album of the Krautrock-Folk outfit from 1972. Produced in the Dierks-Studios. What an amazing improvement in the sound of this 50-year-old recording. With the help of the original analog master tapes and state-of-the-art technical equipment, the sensitive melodies of the debut album appear in a light of romance and empathy. Remastered at Dierks Studios, where the recordings were also made ** Debut album by this legendary German folk outfit centered around the family core o…
Saat
* 180g, black vinyl * Recording in a good studio in 1972 with an accomplished engineer/musician such as Dieter Dierks (Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream, and yes, the Scorpions), certainly enabled Emtidi to expand their musical style on 'Saat.' The end result was a shimmering, lush cosmic folk trip, with multi-tracked and treated acoustic guitars plus electric piano, fragile angelic femme vocals, vibes, and mellotron, (punctuated by the occasional acid guitar solo). Yes, 'Saat' is an…
Broselmaschine
** Limited LP. Gatefold cover ** Debut album of this band led by skilled master-guitarist Peter Bursch, which went to record this magical piece of psychedelic folk for the Pilz label in 1971. Guitars, flute, mellotron, congas, tabla, sitar & the magical voice of Jenni Schaecker make the ingredients for a very special record, recorded & mixed by Dieter Dierks in his unique fashion. Full of Eastern promise, this is regarded by many as the best German folk-rock album ever! 'The ideal companion to E…
