"Recorded in 1980 and featuring Ginger Baker and Tim Blake, the album was a classic work and spawned an equally legendary tour. Although Baker's tenure with Hawkwind was brief, a concert at Lewisham Odeon in December 1980 was recorded by a mobile unit...

This expanded version of the 1990 album presents the original album of Palace Springs, which was two studio tracks along with a well recorded and generally excellent live album recorded at the Palace Tehatre in Los Angles, 10/10/89 and adds the equally good and spirited California Barnst

This has been out for a little while now, but every time we have ordered it from the label, they've been sold out. This is hugely expanded reissue of one of Hawkwind's great albums from just after their classic U.A. period, originally released in 1977...

For some unfathomable reason, this fine 1975 album, their sixth, has never really been generally reissued and no one really has explained why. It certainly is not because of the quality of the material, because this is considered one of their finest by many and also considered the last of their string of total classics from the early 70s.

This release has the classic lineup of Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Lemmy, Simon House, Simon King and Alan Powell, and was the last album with Lemmy. This is newly..

Fantastic edition of this classic, early UK release, with tape research by Mark Powell and greatly expanded booket, rare photos, and design. Recommended. Very early (1969) heavy rock/progressive/oddball classic featuring Tony Hill-guitar, Simon House...

“Formed in 1970, Jade Warrior was one of the most original British bands to emerge during the Progressive Rock era.
The first incarnation of the band featured Tony Duhig (guitars) and Jon Field (flutes, percussion), both of whom had been in the Psychedelic group July, and Glyn Havard (bass, vocals). Signing to Vertigo, the band recorded their self-titled debut. In 1972, the band expanded to a quartet with drummer Allan Price for the 'Released' LP, and the band's third album, 'Last Autumn's Dream'....

Third and final release that the trio version of Jade Warrior released during their lifetime, on Vertigo in 1972.

"One of the great albums from a band that later transformed into one of the first ambient East meets West styles of music. There is magic in Jade Warrior and Last Autumn's Dream displays the blueprint and the actual of what they were aiming for in moving from a couple of the most romantic songs ever into guitar heavy rock and back again into their love of Classical Japanese styles of...

Jade Warrior were a UK band who released three albums on Vertigo and then the band semi fell apart and all they were left with was a duo of Jon Field (alto/concert/Japanese flutes, organ, piano, percussion) and Tony Duhig (electric and acoustic...

"Jonesy are one of the great British Progressive Rock bands of the early 1970s who, despite recording some of the most impressive and intelligent music of the era, sadly failed to make a commercial impact. The band was formed in 1971 by guitarist John Evan-Jones, who emigrated to Australia with his brother Trevor in the 1950s. By the mid-1960s, the Jones brothers had formed the band Chaos And Co and had enjoyed success. Returning to the UK in 1969, John forged a career as a session guitarist but by 1971...

“Newcastle-based Kestrel's sole album contains melodic, quite song-oriented prog featuring Mellotron, and it can be compared to the likes of SPRING, FANTASY or CRESSIDA, and actually for the benefit of Kestrel whose mature songs have more 'kick' as there are pretty good guitar contributions too. With one exception, the music is composed by the guitarist Dave Black. Perhaps the idea of a cross between the classic GENESIS and the '68-'72 era MOODY BLUES wouldn't be totally out of place? There aren't the...

“A new edition of the wonderful 1976 album ‘Marscape’ by Jack Lancaster And Robin Lumley, taken from newly discovered master tapes.
This excellent album was recorded and released in 1976 and was composed and conceived to mark the landing on Mars of Nasa’s Viking 2 Explorer in September of that year.
For the sessions, saxophonist and woodwind player Jack Lancaster and keyboard player Robin Lumley were joined by John Goodsall on guitars, Percy Jones on bass and Phil Collins on drums.

Mellow Candle is one of the most talked about, most hyped folk rock albums of all time, and it actually matches the hype for once. Beautiful female vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, piano, bass and drums. Officially licensed and taken from the...

Typically nice and thorough Esoteric job on this (although I must admit that I don't remember the name of the first track on the album being "Thermos Roads"); there's no bonus material, but there is excellent remastered sound, good notes and photos...

The third and best-known release by this English group who spent their most popular years in Germany, and are usually thought of as a German band. This was a hugely popular release in the mid 70's, selling hundreds of thousands of copies! Really!
Kinda jammy, definitely somewhat Pink Floydy, Nektar were a quartet of vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass and drums. This includes a bunch of extras.

"One of the truly great bands of the early 1970s, Patto featured a line-up comprising Mike Patto (vocals), Ollie Halsall (guitar, vibes, keyboards, vocals), Clive Griffiths (bass) and John Halsey (drums). The band arose from the ashes of the group Timebox and recorded their self-titled debut album in 1970.

Anthony was a founding member of Genesis and was a very important part of their formative years; when he left due to stage fright, the rest of the band was very unsure he was replaceable. After a number of years, he came back with this, his first solo...
