Highly collectable and highly regarded early progressive rock band. This was the band's first album.

"This album, originally released in 1970 on Transatlantic, is made up of dark, foreboding music that touches upon the early prog scene (lots of organ, flute, electric guitar) but also throws in some folky passages and jazz experimentations as well. It is somewhat of a cross between bands like The Strawbs, Nektar, Jethro Tull, East of Eden, Atomic Rooster, and at times King Crimson."

This first-ever release of any music by this excellent Germany duo consisting of Hammond organ & vocals and drums, percussion and vocals.

The two members, Günther Kühlwein (organ) and Walter Helbig (drums) were long-time band mates in a number...

First ever reissue of this very obscure Dutch band's first album from 1970. I certainly never heard of them before, and considering how well done this is for so early, I am rather surprised it is this obscure. After this band fell apart, their leader...

"Brilliant German Krautrock Underground band, famous for the collectors because of their 1971 Bacillus album. This CD contains 4 unreleased tracks from 1971 (19 minutes) recorded at a broadcast session for SWF radio. Those songs are in the vein of the...

First time ever on CD and made from the master tapes!

"For the first time on CD, this album of German flute and sax player Ralf Nowy, originally released in 1973 on Global, is a quiet tip for all lovers of the genre. Inspired by the burgeoning...

The German/Dutch band Odin are best known for their one release on German Vertigo. This archival release is actually probably better than the album on Vertigo! Excellent quality radio tapes of 2 originals and 2 (17') of Frank Zappa covers!...

This is a fairly monstrously collectable Swiss psychedelic item from 1972, with fabulous organ, good guitar, drums and fairly crazed vocals.
This is the first time this has been issued legitimately, and it includes the famous 'talking skull' cover, a short history of the band, a bunch of photos, & 3 bonus tracks from non-lp sings from 1970 & 1971 (all tracks taken from the master tapes!)

1973 second release by this German band who moved from Bacillus to Phillips for this one, featuring lots of great dual heavy organ, violin and guitar work, vocals, bass and drums, as well as touches from flute.

"Expanding the line-up, with an...

"German rock legends Rufus Zuphall feat. original band members Günter Krause (gt, voc, bandleader), Klaus Gülden (flute), Helmut Lieblang (bass, lyrics) are still on the live-circuit. In summer 2006 they performed at the famous Belgian rock underground...

"Sea Son was originally released in 1974 on CBS and is now considered by many to be the pinnacle of the band's catalog. The fiery interplay between alto/soprano sax player Karsten Vogel, guitarist Claus Bohling and keyboardist Kenneth Knudsen parallel the work of their contemporaries Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra. With a new rhythm section of bassist Jess Staehr (Burnin Red Ivanhoe) and drummer Ole Streenberg (Coronarias Dans) the band found equal footing in the world of rock and jazz. The...

Secret Oyster were a five piece Danish fusion/progressive supergroup of the 1970s, whose members came from the ranks of Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, Hurdy Gurdy and Coronarias Dans. This album, recorded in the fall of 1975, was the band's fourth and final album; the pressures of having recorded four albums in just over two years, touring constantly and being disappointed when the US branch Columbia broke their promise to the band to give them the same 'priority' treatment they had given to Weather Report...

Amazingly enough, over 40 years later, the fifth, NEVER BEFORE RELEASED, STUDIO album, recorded in 1976, by Denmark’s greatest jazz/rock band gets a release.
Like their third album, Vidunerlige Kaelling, this was music done for a dance / performance work.

"The recordings of 'Striptease' were a long time lost. In 1975 Secret Oyster had reached broad acceptance in Danish cultural life and on the music scene. Their 3rd album 'Vidunderlige Kaelling (Astarte)', received massive media attention...

This is the first time ever that this one and done, rockin' German rarity has been legitimately reissued.
Originally released on Phillips in 1971, they are a heavy power trio and they are comparable in some ways to their contemporaries Guru Guru, with long tracks and plenty of acid-fueled craziness to their very heavy jams.

"What the fuck...'4 Times Sound Razing' tears at the stitches as elements of Guru Guru's first two albums and Alice Cooper's first three are straddled simultaneously ...

German heavy classical rock duo formed aptly in 1969. They had an aggressive rock style, mixing in classical and avant-garde elements.
This is the first-ever legitimate reissue of either of their two albums in any format!

“The sole studio album by this interesting Kraut duo, originally from 1972, sees a welcome reissue on vinyl. Sixty Nine played a mixture of symphonic prog and Krautrock, dominated by appealing vocals, exceptional Hammond organ outings and powerful drumming. Whether you like.

"In 1972 the band’s second album was released on the Pegasus label, featuring a line-up of Martin Cockerham (guitar, vocals), Barbara Gaskin (lead vocals), Mark Francis (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards) and Steve Borrill (bass), with guest musicians Dave Mattacks (drums), Julian Cusack (violin, keyboards), Rick Biddulph (mandolin), Alan Laing (cello)."

“This is an official re-release on vinyl licensed courtesy of BMG Rights Management, UK, remastered from an original master copy out of the vaults...

"The meeting of three expatriate Hungarian musicians who had been touring with the Hungarian Philharmonic when they jumped ship and stayed in Germany, with three German musicians. An appealing 1973-styled blend of progressive rock with classical, jazzy and folky influences. Lots of classical pretensions and influences, with lots of flute. Vocals, flute, guitars, violin/viola/piano/organ, bass and drums. They shortly afterwards went on to work with Louis Hardin aka Moondog (!), but there doesn't seem to...

"In 1975 we got together with keyboardist and vocalist Gerd Lueken and bassist Heinz Sander so as to perform live once more as Thirsty Moon. Both musicians used to play in the Bremen band “Train”. Since our album “Blitz” had been published that year, the record company helped again with promotion and had pictures taken from the four band members. This was the formation we played in on May 29th in the “Lila Eule” in Bremen, where we did a live recording with a stereo tape recorder. There were merely two...

Hans Friedrich Basten - drums, glockenspiel
Heribert Schippers - bass
Manfred Herter - guitars
Werner Knauser - violin
Hermann Josef Basten - flute, guitar

“Progressive rock band from Aachen, Germany circa 1971 to 1974. During their lifetime they recorded one SWF radio session and an album.
Their style mixed jazzy and classical touches, and elements as diverse as Jethro Tull, Amon Düül II or Vinegar.”

SO: Apparently, Tortilla Flat recorded this radio session....

The first reissue in many, many years of this classic one-off release that's *almost* a Amon Duul II album, but isn't quite an Amon Duul II album. It's still really good though....

"It seems that even in 1973 Amon Düül II still wanted to do double albums! But, instead of making WOLF CITY into a double, somehow this side-line project came in to being, fronted by three musicians who had earlier worked together in Passport (on their debut LP). Although since reissued as an Amon Düül II album, Utopia..

"Besides the releases of recordings of the golden age of progressive-, Kraut- and psychedelic rock from the end of '60s to the end of the '70s, Long Hair also decides to release recordings of young bands creating corresponding sounds of today...

"Originating as a beat group in the mid-60's, playing mainly at US air bases in Southern Germany. By 1969 (and after many name and personnel changes) they'd become the art-rock band Chromosom, heavily influenced by the American West Coast sound. After the addition of Bernd "Steve" Leistner on vocals, and the new name Wind, they recorded their debut album for the new progressive arm of the budget label Miller, namely +Plus+. Seasons offered a richly textured progressive rock, lyrical yet also very...
