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...

This lovely record, their 1st and with the most psychedelia smeared onto their already impressive jazz/rock is back! Hugely recommended.
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 was their first album, which was released in 1973, and which, I was surprised to realize, I had never actually heard before this reissue.
Having played this one a number of times now..

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...

Reissue of a very obscure hippy/jam band's only album from 1971. They are most often compared to Quicksilver and the Dead. "Originally released on CBS in 1971, and now for the first time on CD. These 4 guys from Bremen (Northern Germany) played with US...

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 1974 live DOUBLE-LP by this interesting Kraut duo, sees a welcome reissue. Sixty Nine played a mixture of symphonic prog and Krautrock, dominated by appealing vocals, exceptional Hammond organ and Moog outings and powerful drumming. Whether you like Frumpy, The Nice...

A completely fabulous find from Long Hair, this is a very good band who never recorded an album, but played often and now this professionally recorded live session from the mastertapes can finally be heard, 45 years later!

Manfred A Weisz-guitars, vocals
Joel Weser-organ, synthesizer, vocals
Freddy Hohn-saxes, flutes

Ulli Ost-drums

"Stagg, a quartet from Frankfurt, was one of the very best bands to record at the former German radio station SWF..

"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....

Legit reissue with original gimmix cover reproduced!

“This is an official reissue under courtesy of Cherry Red Records of this legendary album, originally released in spring 1969 as Coliseum DS 51004 in the US and as DERAM Sml 1043 in the UK. The incredible track 'Down At Circe's Place' was chosen as the opening track on the Top 30 charting sampler 'Wowie Zowie - The World Of Progressive Music' later that year.
Some critics will bring up the album's historical meaning, being the first U.S...

"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...
