Mini-LP sleeve CDs

Acqua Fragile only made 2 albums before they broke up when their singer Bernardo Lanzetti joined P.F.M. They never had too much success during their lifetime, but their albums have a nice sorta P.F.M-styled charm. This is their first album, & most...

The first release on CD by this somewhat obscure Italian progressive fusion outfit, consisting of Fender Rhodes, guitar, soprano sax, bass and drums. Comes in a nice gatefold mini lp sleeve. Originally released in 1976, this is excellent quality Italia...

Almendra are considered one of the founding fathers of the Argentinian rock scene. This was their second and final record from late 1970 and is a fun and well done rock/hard rock album of the period, which is definitely a bit more sophisticated than th...

Alphataurus were one of the (many) great 'one and done' Italian symphonic rock band and one of the most fondly remembered; once you have seen it, who could forget the amazing triple-gatefold 'Dove of War' lp jacket and the equally amazing music...

Alphataurus produced one of the great Italian one-shot releases of the early 70s encased in an amazing triple-fold sleeve. Amazingly here they are in 2010, performing all the material from that album plus material from their never-completed second...

"Packaged in a deluxe gatefold LP style Important jacket with printed inner sleeve. Anahita is Tara Burke (Fursaxa) and cellist Helena Espvall (Espers). Tara recently showed up on Important as part of the duo of Tau Emerald with Sharron Kraus...

This excellent and excellently recorded live album mostly consists of high energy versions of tracks from Gravity and From Within. Their current sound consists of a mesmerizing hard rock sound with lots of dark mellotron and other keyboards; as on...

This was the last of their 1970's works. "Ange returned to the studio in 1978 as a changed line up again with the Decamps, Guichard and new members Claude Demet on guitar and Gerald Renard on bass. As a result, Guet Apens had a different feel, this tim...

"The second and the last album by Annexus Quam originally released in 1972 on the Ohr label. Sound engineer: Dieter Dierks. Reissue with elaborate miniature paper sleeve of the original LP (full color print, coated sleeve). 2008 digital remaster version,

Just when you think that there is nothing worthwhile from the lp era that hasn't already been reissued on CD, comes a small and very pleasant surprise. This is the final album (of two) by a Quebecois progressive/fusion septet who somehow managed to...

Art Zoyd's early and great works have been unavailable for such a long time that it's too easy to forget what a strikingly original and amazing band they were in their prime. One of the original R.I.O bands (they joined in the second wave of bands...

While it's pretty certain that Miles kick started the whole electric jazz-jazz/rock movement with In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew in 1969, there were other people working towards the same goals at aproximately the same time, some of them better known...

In my opinion, if you have to pick one album to answer the question of "What was Albert Ayler's music all about?", this is that album. As Chip Stern said, "This clocks in at only 29:31, but I guarantee you won't spend a more intense half-hour in your...

"First CD reissue for the ultra-rare second work of acclaimed keyboarder Luciano Basso. As usual a great instrumental work, mostly unknown, underrated and of course very rare in its original form. Musically it is the usual and great blend of classical...

"Finally available again in the usual deluxe papersleeve edition and one bonus track, the debut CD of acclaimed keyboarder Luciano Basso. This is a highly appreciated instrumental effort, being cited by "The Billboard Guide to Progressive Music" as one...

Another one-shot Italian band with a classic heavy keyboard-driven progressive disc. Their name translates as "Ticket To Hell"! Dual keyboards, guitar, vocals/flute, bass & drums. Some great interplay between the keyboards & the guitar. One of their tw...

Beautifully packaged in a mini-lp sleeve with a booklet and a number of color photos of the band that I had never seen before. That's the good news. The news that you were all expecting, I suppose, is that the sonics are strictly bootleg quality. It is...

"Ramblin' comes from an adventurous period in Paul Bley's career, at a time when he was associated with some of the more avant-garde elements. His playing often takes an attractively aggressive approach, which he tempered in later years. There is his...

"A very obscure and one of the rarest albums from Italian rock music scene of the 70's. This album takes on ecology as its theme and sings of the evil of polluting the planet. Terrific basic progressive music housed in a creative gimmick sleeve with...

The Blue Notes were the original group, led by Chris McGregor, who fled their homeland when the pressure of being a racially mixed group in 1964 apartheid South Africa became too much to bear. They eventually landed in London in 1966. Consisting of...

"Few modern musicians in any genre can have been so extensively documented as the Chicago-born multi-instrumentalist, and yet the very density of the documentation serves only to heighten the enigma that is Anthony Braxton'' (Penguin Guide To Jazz)...

A group that combines avant-progressive with symphonic rock with classical music performed on 'real' instruments. The lineup is flute, clarinet, 2 saxes, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, mallet percussion...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"Early 50s material recorded by the late Clifford Brown -- issued here in a classic "memorial" package slightly after his death in 1956! And while Brown never recorded

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"This excellent trio session forms a sort of transition between bassist Ray Brown's work with the Oscar Peterson Trio and his own small-group sessions of the '80s...

Not only was this 'one and done' Italian band's only recording, recorded in 1972 quite good, but it gained the additional allure/intrigue of not being released until it came out in the early 90s for the very first time!

"Finally available again..

Excellent price (less than 1/3rd what this normally goes for) on this deluxe packaging version of Kate's 'greatest hits' album. And it's hard to believe, but this album is completely out of print in the states and most other areas at this time!

This is a pretty great, very, very rare album from Italy. Using a lineup of acoustic piano, electric bass and drums, this has the sound of a jazz trio playing progressive rock. The music swings at points but there's too much 'trickery' and stop/start...

Digitally remastered, mini-lp sleeve reissue of BYG/Actuel 1, released in a limited edition of 1500 copies at a special price. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest of the Actuel series! These relatively early duos between Don moving from...

In 1994, a few years before the resurgence of interest in all things Krautrock and kling-klang, this album was released in the USA on a tiny label. It marked the beginning of Moebius and Roedelius working together again after a number of years off...

Walkin’ is an example of eminent bop and cool performance that could serve as a musical text on how jazz should be played. It’s a fairly early sample of Davis’ work."

Mini-lp sleeve reissue of this 1973 album, about which Scented Gardens of the Mind said, "If one masterpiece should be singled out as the jewel of Italian rock, my vote would go to De De Lind's one and only album..."

This, their 1st, self-titled album is classic progressive/fusion release by a quartet instrumental Italian band. Fender Rhodes piano/synths/cello, guitar/tenor sax, bass & drums. Like a bit less adventurous version of The Muffins circa Manna/Mirage!...

"Third album released in 1974, called Delirium III (Viaggio negli arcipelaghi del tempo) and judged by many as their most mature work. La battaglia degli eterni piani contains a dark-inspired atmosphere not heard in their previous releases, the flute...

"After their first album, Dolce Acqua, from 1971 and their memorable TV presence at Sanremo music festival given around mid-1972, Ivano Fossati suddenly had to leave Delirium for his military service, later to pursue a solo career that's still...

This is a new copy, however the sleeve has some dents and creases.

An amazing, newly lowered price on perfect copies of the Japanese mini-lp sleeve version of this classic fusion album, which is sadly completely and utterly out of print in every part of the world.
