Mini-LP sleeve CDs

This live album by this Swedish post-Landberk/post-rock/post-progressive group was originally released only on vinyl. It is only available on CD from Japan and this includes 2 bonus tracks that were not on the Swedish vinyl version of this album!

Remastered and presented in a mini-lp sleeve, this reissues a fairly in-demand album which has been unavailable on CD for at least 5 years now. The first solo album by one of the pillars of the original PFM. "Those who expect that Mauro Pagani's solo...

This is a very good, 1970s-styled Italian release, the second from this group. It includes amazingly great and retro keyboardwork and combined with a band who are a bit more modern (but still completely symphonic/progressive) in their approach...

"Klaus Doldinger celebrated his silver anniversary (25 years) as a recorded artist with the Doldinger Jubilee. It worked so well, that he decided to do it again in 1975. The concept is simple, he stages a concert featuring his band, Passport, and adds...

This 1974 album features Klaus Doldinger and Passport with special guests like: Brian Auger, Johnny Griffin (!), Alexis Korner, Volker Kriegel, etc. This is only in print as a mini-lp sleeve from Japan, which you can get from us while we have them or...

Second album, originally released in 1972, and one of the hardest to find on CD, by this popular and good fusion band of the early to mid 70's (well, they went on longer, but we won't talk about that). The leader, Klaus Doldinger, a longtime mainstay...

Nice release of rare and unavailable tracks from this Belgian 'supergroup' (players came from/went to Arkham, Aksak Maboul, etc.)

"This is the type of Musea release I prefer, an album (actually a compilation of two singles and an unreleased...

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

"This is a true classic. Altoist Art Pepper is joined by an 11-piece band playing Marty Paich arrangements of a dozen jazz standards from the bop and cool jazz era. Tru

Guitarist/vocalist Luis Alberto Spinetta was the leader of Almendra, one of the bands considered as the originators of the Argentinian rock movement. After they broke up, Luis formed Pescado Rabioso. This is a reissue of the original double album, which..

"Another weird conceptual album from Phideaux Xavier and cohorts. This time the album is basically one long song with many twists and turns. A long form composition extolling the virtues of DNA and life and culture. Gorgeous melodies, heavy...

Dave Pike was a jazz vibist who was one of the early jazz players who was 'turned on to' rock music and he made a number of fun, swingin' and to be honest, now fairly quaint-sounding albums in the late 60s and very early 70s where he fused his jazz...

The first solo album by Richard Pinhas, which is really a Heldon album for over half its length, released in Japan in a very limited edition (only 1,000 copies made) mini-lp sleeve that is really quite beautiful. Composer, guitarist & electronics...

An extremely good debut album by a quartet from Japan of dual keyboardists, bass & drums. The bassist previously played in 100 Sights of Koenji, & one of the keyboardists plays in Ghost. Additionally, the band backed Lars Hollmer on his 2001 Tokyo tour...

First time on CD for this title, which was the last album he released under his own name before he formed his famous 70s fusion group and released Aurora!

"Hi Fiddlety - The Hot Rats Connection presents part 2. Jean-Luc Ponty was one of the...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album! P.F.M.'s fifth album from 1975 is a fine album. It's the last with their great original flautist/violinist Mauro Pagani, who was the main composer for this album and his...

"Two very different albums by two almost totally different bands, is all that Procession have left us...The band reappeared in 1974 with a new line-up and a new recording deal, this time it's Fonit that releases their second album Fiaba. A mature work...

Remastered and presented in a mini-lp sleeve. This Italian band released the 1st of their two albums in 1972. It features keyboards, guitars, vocals/flute, violin, bass and drums. Definitely in the symphonic/classical vein, this...

Ragnarok seem to be one of the forgotten bands of the original Swedish progressive rock movement, relatively speaking, especially as their quality was rather high (and then they reformed and released an excellent album on Musea that was also of very...

"Legendary Japanese rock outfit Les Rallizes Denudés were formed in 1967 and incredibly, for a group that had only one official release (Oz Days Live, a double vinyl compilation release in 1973), played their last gig almost 30 years later in October...

Beautifully packaged version of Lou's infamous album. I'm not really a Lou Reed fan or a MMM fan, but it certainly did predict certain aspects of alt-rock and noise-rock and noise ery early. Anyway, I like the following reviews which I found on Amazon....

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

"This CD is highlighted by the one meeting on record between Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, an exciting battle on "Tenor Madness." Otherwise this is a more convention

"The masters of Italian progressive hard rock formed in Rome in 1971. Io Come Io (1972) was an even better work (than La Bibbia) with crisper production. The interplay between wah-wah guitar and fuzz bass all over the place is simply incredible...

This is a new band formed by 3 Italians living in London. They are greatly inspired and influenced by the classic greats of Italian progressive rock. They tend to highlight the more ethereal side - emphasising acoustic guitar and analog keyboards...

Samla Mammas Manna was the original band of keyboardist/composer Lars Hollmer and they were hugely popular in their native Sweden. They blended progressive with bits of folk elements & more. This is an earlier (their second), more overtly "progressive...

The very first Samlas album, from 1970 is early steps for the band. You can hear a lot of Lars' early somewhat Canterbury/Muffins styled Fender Rhodes work, along with organ & vocals in a more simplified format than the band took later. But you can...

The 1976 collaboration with composer Gregory Allan Fitzpatrick. This is the hard-to-find missing piece in the Samla puzzle, finally available again!

5{ of the greatest Japanese progressive rock bands of all time, Shingetsu ('new moon') arrived in the Japan music scene in the late 70s to carry the torch which seemed to have been left behind in England. Led by the 'Japanese Peter Gabriel'...

"For Luna Surface, Alan Silva collected many of the top free jazz players of the day -- and then he gave them all the green light. As a result, this is a very free record that could easily turn off a listener not yet sold on the 1969 avant-garde jazz...

Japanese mini-LP sleeve edition. Comes in a really nice embossed card stock jacket.

Soft Machine were one of first and one of the greatest jazz/rock bands of all time. Their importance and influence was especially great in Europe...

This fairly rare 1975 album that was originally released on Chant du Monde has never been released legitimately on CD before and is available only as a Japanese mini-lp sleeve release. It's also somewhat of a Zeuhl/jazz rock supersession, which was led...

This is one of three albums that Alan Holdsworth made with John Stevens in middle/late 1977. All three of these albums show a very different side to Alan - at least different from what he has presented on recordings, with a more 'jazz' and...
