Oz Days Live 1973
Japanese experimental group Les Rallizes Denudes are the ultimate rock'n' roll enigma. Sometimes referred to as Hadaka no Rallizes or even as Hadaka no Rarizu, each appellation a variant of the name "Fucked Up and Naked" which equates to being high on hard drugs, they are seen as noise-rock pioneers, yet sifting fact from fiction isn’t easy with their oddball tale.Emerging from the radical hippie communes of Kyoto during the late 1960s, the band was formed in November 1967 by university student …
In Reality
**Clear vinyl edition** In 1971, following the departure of his bandmate Jerry Cole, bassist Alan Henderson joined forces with U.S. guitarist Jim Parker and drummer John Stark to make this lost power trio classic - the last to be issued under the legendary Them moniker. It opens with a searing medley of the Them classics Gloria and Baby Please Don't Go, boasting superb interplay and savage psychedelic guitar throughout. Elsewhere, Stark and Parker flex their songwriting muscles on a series of po…
The End of the Game
**White vinyl edition** Peter Green's legendary debut album was released in June 1970, only a month after leaving Fleetwood Mac, the iconic band he formed in 1967. The End of the Game takes a radical shift from Green's previous works with the band. The music, produced through a long free form studio session based on almost non existent structures, takes us through a deep hypnotic sonic experience. Green on guitar was joined by Alex Dmochowski on bass, Godfrey Maclean on drums, Nick Buck on keybo…
Magic Tube
Delaware-based power trio Mouzakis conjured an intriguing sound somewhere between traditional rhythm and blues and garage rock, with psychedelic and hard rock leanings. The band occupied something of a unique space during their short reign during the early 1970s, and it was partly their non-standard outlook that kept the group a trio, since other potential musical recruits simply could not find a way through their multidirectional sound. Drummer / lead singer Eddie Stevenson and bassist / keyboa…
Green Eyed God
Fabled British prog-rock band Steel Mill was formed in Wandsworth, a working-class district of south London, during the late 1960s, after singer / keyboardist David Morris began working with saxophonist / flautist John Challenger, who had played with a folk group - The Garret Singers - the initial Mill line-up completed once they were joined by former Roadrunners' drummer Colin Short, Derek Chandler on bass and Terry Williams on guitar. The nascent band rehearsed for about one year, playing very…
As I Am
Recording a solo album in 1969 allowed Troggs guitarist Chris Britton to take a stab at greater artistic freedom, though the presence of a familiar set of suspects meant that the resultant LP, As I Am, didn’t veer too far from The Troggs’ standard blend of poppy psychedelia and garage rock, constructed with a particular English bent. Producer and keyboardist Colin Frechter shaped the group’s Mixed Bag release, and his wistful harpsichord on tracks like If You Really Care lend a baroque air to th…
Anywhere
***180 gram orange vinyl, 2019 stock*** Phoenix Records present a reissue of Flower Travellin' Band's Anywhere - originally released in 1970 - the debut album from the legendary Japanese rockers fronted by Yuya Uchida. Although consisting mainly of cover versions, Anywhere still exhibited many of the musical traits that were to come to the fore on the band's next release, the classic Satori, an album of original material delivered with panache by the increasingly confident Uchida in 1971. Anywhe…
What'cha Gonna Do?
**500 copies, 2019 stock** Official authorized reissue of the legendary psychedelic LP by Christopher from South Carolina. One of the absolute best American psychedelic LPs of the 1960's, and one of the rarest - a copy went for close to $4,000 the last time an original copy sold online, and nearly double that changed hands off-line for an original! Every song is of the highest quality -- they're all self-penned too - with an accessible sound the suggests that Christopher could have had more wide…
Freedom Flight
**2019 stock** 1971's Freedom Flight is perhaps, in its own way, every bit as adventurous and regal as Shuggie Otis' masterpiece, Inspiration Information. Produced by Shuggie's father, R&B legend Johnny Otis, the album features seven stellar, genre bending cuts, most of which were written or co-written by Shuggie. Oh yes, he was 18 at the time. Shuggie not only arranged the date, he played everything from guitars and bass organ to various percussion instruments. Additional musicians include Wilt…
Here Comes Shuggie Otis
**2019 stock** 1970's Here Comes Shuggie Otis was the debut album by the guitarist and songwriter, issued by Columbia, when Shuggie Otis was only 18. Produced and arranged by his father, R&B legend Johnny Otis, the set features nine original cuts co-written by the pair, and in some cases others, and one written by Johnny with Dan Aldrich. The album is evenly divided between vocal tunes and instrumentals. The cast for these sessions included Johnny, Wilton Felder, Stix Hooper, bassist Al McKibbon…
Negative Freedom
Recorded in Philadelphia in late 2016, Negative Freedom encapsulates the moment when the horrible truth was just beginning to sink in. “Everything got broken while I was looking the other way” sings Dan Melchior on the title track and perhaps that’s a relatable sentiment. Elsewhere Melchior’s ever-withering gaze settles on prima donna self-googlers in They Insulted Me In Mojo and self-serving promoters get their own anthem in A Nice Holiday — ”Be careful of enthusiasts who want you to play their…
Strangers From the Far East
Khana Bierbood (translated as Strange Brew in Thai), formed in 2012, in Bangsaen Beach in Thailand. After hours of jamming together they started create their unique sound influenced by 60’s surf music, 70’s garage rock with Thai traditional music. Produced by Go Kurosawa (Kikagaku Moyo) in Tsubame studio in Tokyo, Strangers From the Far East is their first full length LP. Throwing garage rock, surf, and psychedelic pop into one delightfully lo-fi mix, the seven track recall the warm, radiating v…
With Dim Light
**2019 stock** Minami Deutsch is back at it again with their latest LP entitled With Dim Light. Whilst softening their sound and cushioning the blow, you can expect a more profound diversity in their sound, whilst retaining the principle ingredients that make them so great such as their signature fuzz, thumping bass and dream like vocals. There is a heavier experimentation in regards to genre exploration. With hints of post punk and nods to late 60s psychedelic rock, this shows that Minami Deuts…
Minami Deutsch
**2019 stock** Minami Deutsch was formed by Kyotaro Miula (guitar, vocals, synthesizer) in Tokyo in 2014. Their sound is influenced by both their love for Krautrock legends such as Can and Neu!, and the band members being self-professed "repetition freaks" who heavily listen to minimal techno. The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, co…
Misora
Often regarded as Japan’s first female singer-songwriter, Sachiko Kanenobu created an enduring legacy with Misora, a timeless classic of intricate finger-picking, gently soaring melodies, and rustic Laurel Canyon vibes. Originally released in 1972 on URC (Underground Record Club), one of Japan’s first independent record labels, the Haruomi Hosono-produced album remains one of the most beloved works to come out of Japan’s folk and rock scenes centered around Tokyo and Kansai areas in the early 19…
Hyperthalamus
This is the first official reissue on vinyl of ultra rare legendary album "Hyperthalamus" of Hamburg group Dennis. Dennis were a kind of session group including a collection of musicians from Tomorrow´s Gift, Thirsty Moon, Xhol, playing free-rock to enthusiastic festival goers (according to A crack in the cosmic egg). Leading member was Frumpy drummer Carsten Bohn (the band was namedafter his son). But keyboarder Manne Rürup (of Tomorrow´s Gift fame), Michael Kobs and Willi Pape (of Thirsty Moon…
Apryl Fool
The story of Japanese psychedelic band Apryl Fool and their eponymous debut album is simply extraordinary. It was the vehicle by which bassist Haroumi Hosono first came to prominence, years before he became known as the “Godfather of Japanese electronica” as the founding member and leader of Yellow Magic Orchestra, though this musical titan had work released prior to the group’s 1968 founding, such as the song The Sea of Summer Day, recorded with Yuko Okuyama and released by King Records the yea…
