Raw Material
The 1970 debut by this London-based quintet, originally released on the small Evolution label and now a sought-after grail of British proto-prog. One of the earliest documents of progressive rock in the making - raw, unpolished, absolutely essential.
Raw Material emerged from the late-sixties London underground: Colin Catt on keyboards and vocals, Dave Green on guitar, Phil Gunn on bass, Paul Young on drums, and Mick Fletcher on saxophone, flute and harmonica. The group had its roots in R&B jam …
Eclipse
Recorded in 1973, Eclipse was intended as Jade Warrior's fourth Vertigo release but was shelved before pressing, circulating only as rare test pressings. Restored with the band's original running order and period artwork, this is top notch British progressive rock, blending delicate acoustic passages with bursts of heavy-rock intensity, African, and Middle Eastern rhythms. The missing link between Last Autumn's Dream and their later Island-era sound. Sourced and remastered from the original mast…

The Beat of the Earth
Cosmic Rock Records proudly announces the long-awaited reissue of The Beat of the Earth, the ultra-rare debut album from the enigmatic experimental jam band The Beat of the Earth. Formed in 1967 amid the sun-soaked vibes of Orange County, California, this elusive artifact was originally released in minuscule quantities on Radish Records—a obscure private press label that barely scratched the surface of the era's underground scene.
Guided by the visionary Phil Pearlman (later the mastermind behin…
Relatively Clean Rivers
*2026 repress!* Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of Relatively Clean Rivers came out the same year on the leader Phil Pearlman label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly …

Live at End Cole Ave 1969
In March 1969, the Velvet Underground, featuring Doug Yule now on bass, launched a nationwide tour that captured a pivotal moment in rock history. Among those dates was a memorable engagement at Dallas’ "End Of Cole Avenue" club—one of the rare live shows professionally recorded with a sound engineer on site. Previously, selections from these performances appeared in 1974 on the 1969: Velvet Underground Live album, but the sound was hampered by the use of third- or fourth-generation tapes, limit…
Churchills
Cut in 1969, this self-titled album feels like the first fully immersive psychedelic rock statement from its own scene. At a time when local airwaves were ruled by polite pop and lightweight fare, Churchills arrived riding waves of fuzz and twisting studio gear to its limits. The lineup itself tells the story. Frontman Stan Solomon brought a raw, soulful presence; guitarist Robb Huxley carried deep experience of the classic rock songbook, its riff language and studio tricks. Alongside them, guit…
The Unicorn / The Garden Of Love
Urban hillbilly one-man-band “outsider artist” private press album from 1974. “The first psychedelic country concept album."
