Long Hair

Striptease
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), reissued on vinyl and CD by LongHair, received massive media attention and a big audience. After finishing the rcordings for their 4th album „Straight to Krankenhaus“ (also reissued on vinyl and CD by LongHair) the band was pleased to work on the recordings for another „Ballet“ with working title „…
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…
Thirsty Moon
2019 restock. This is Thirsty Moon's first album on the famous German label Brain, originally released in 1972. Included in the in the infamous The Nurse With Wound List, created in 1979, became a common touch point for several generations of experimental and underground. This album truly is a jewel of German progressive rock. The seven band members used elements of jazz as a means of spontaneous expressions and blended them with the aggression and rhythm of rock! Comparisons with Kollektiv and …
Straight to the Krankenhaus
Straight to the Krankenhaus is the 4th full-length studio album by Danish progrock-jazz/ fusion act Secret Oyster. The album was composed and recorded simultaneously with Vidunderlige Kælling (1975) but was not released until late 1976/ early 1977. Many fans regard this album as the best work Secret Oyster ever did. And maybe they are right, because the brand of progrock jazz/ fusion on this album is very catchy and while there are plenty of soloing by sax and guitar the songs never drag or drow…
Vidunderlige Kælling
Vidunderlige Kælling is the third full-length studio album by Danish progrock jazz/ fusion act Secret Oyster. The album was made specifically and on request for a ballet of the same name starring one of the greatest Danish female ballet dancers at the time Vivi Flindt (it's Vivi posing naked on the cover of the album). The music on this album was composed simultaneously with the tracks that would make up the 4th full-length studio album by Secret Oyster called 'Straight To The Krankenhaus', whic…
Sea Son
This is Secret Oysters second step to stardom. When Secret Oysters first album (LHC 216) was a monumental debut, 'Sea Son' is a monster of an album type slightly psychedelic progjazz rock with clever use of electric piano and moog synthesisers along with a strong dose of melodic sax lines while Bohlings impressive guitar work really shines through and rules (listen to 9:16 long mind movie). A lot of furious solos and just a few soft ones mostly by guitar and sax, remarkable interplays between ke…
Secret Oyster
This is the first official re-release of Danish act Secret Oyster`s debut album and the first of a series of 4 reissues of Secret Oyster legacy of 4 fantastic albums from 1973-1976. Originally it was released through CBS Records in November 1973. Secret Oyster was founded by former members of Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe, Coronarias Dans and Hurdy Gurdy, all well professional and prolific Danish musicians. On their first album, internationally also sold under the name Furtive Pearl, the band play a jammi…
Love And Peace
or the first time on double vinyl. 'Love And Peace' was a big outdoor festival in Germany (Fehmarn, last live performance of Jimi Hendrix) held in the summer of 1970. As was traditional for such events, an album was also released to document it. Though, actually, the album consisted of mock-live studio recordings from German bands that performed at the event, recorded under better conditions in the studio. All the music is original. Features rare material from Thrice Mice, Tomorrow's Gift, Dr. R…
Pop & Blues Festival '70
For the first time on vinyl, this is a compilation of German krautrock acts who played at a huge three day international festival held at the Ernst-Merck Hall, April 1970 in Hamburg. From Great Britain there were Colosseum, The Nice, Steamhammer and others. German acts were Tomorrow's Gift, Frumpy, Thrice Mice und and two virtually unknown bands: Beautique In Corporation, who later became Ikarus and Sphinx Tush with later Frumpy guitarist Rainer Baumann. Great and rare stuff! The double vinyl co…
Thrice Mice!
This solely album of Hamburg's six piece is a crossover of progressive- and jazz rock, notably with influences as wide-ranging as Blodwyn Pig and Curved Air. Long jammings by highly talented musicians, all blending into an unique sound with the distinct spirit of krautrock. Comes with insert including band story and rare photos.
You'll Never Come Back
This is Thirsty Moon's second album on the famous German label Brain, originally released in 1973. Despite the fact that their first album is accepted as a classic, many progressive rock fans consider You'll Never Come Back the band's best effort. On this album Thirsty Moon developed their unique sound. Not many other bands managed to capture the true character of acid-rock and placed it so effectively in a jazz-rock format. Thirsty Moon's sound is a mirror ball of images surrounding the listene…
SWF-Session 1974
2018 stock. Recorded early 1974 at the SWF-Studio in Baden-Baden, Germany by the same line-up, which recorded at the same time the 2nd Missus Beastly album. Improved versions of older titles and some new titles prove the bands great talent for improvisations. Brilliant sound of brilliant tunes played by refined musicians. This kind of instrumental krautjazzrock is timeless. The musical orientation of the new Missus Beastly rather followed afro-american than European music traditions, but influen…
Dragon Wings And Wizard Tales
Finally available, this is the legendary 1979 debut LP by Miami based husband and wife synth enthusiasts on the choice format that came to represent the DIY new age electronic movement in the following decade. Emerald Web was, in fact, the wind playing electronic duo of Kat Epple and Bob Stohl.  Although they’d become better known for their work scoring nature documentaries (including many collaborations with Carl Sagan), Emerald Web’s 1979 debut album was a milestone in electronic psychedelia- …
Emergency 1971
Also for the first time legally reissued is Emergency`s second album from 1972 'Entrance', also on CBS. It has two long tracks (More than ten minutes each) on the b-side and shows the band at it's peak. Perfect musicians play perfect music. Both albums are a must-have! Remastered from mastertape. Both albums are remastered from the mastertapes out of the Sony/CBS archives. The sound is brilliant. Little story included. Limited edition.
Goodbye Future
One of those amazing groups from the early 70s German scene – the kind of outfit who were doomed to failure right from the start, but didn't ever let that stop them from making some incredible music! The sounds here came about as a result of the dwindling Tomorrow's Gift lineup woodshedding in a schoolhouse in rural Germany – experimenting freely with all sorts of timings, styles, and instrumental combinations – then refining the whole thing down to their core lineup of keyboards, bass, and drum…

Girlrls!
Also for the first time on vinyl Girlrl, second album of Eiliff, is also a considerable album. It was recorded in famous Hamburg studio Windrose and was similar to the first album. Arguably their music was marginally more loud and direct, thus bringing their music marginally closer to rock. Intense chopping piano and organ, along with excellent drums and firm bass guitar providing a structure for a wealth of superb guitar from virtuoso Houschäng Nejadepour, and lots of smooth 'Mother styled' ele…
Eiliff
For the first time on vinyl Eiliffs eponymous album is a true classic for all lovers of early German rock music. Eiliff were formed in Cologne in the late sixties. Their powerful tour-de-force of complex progressive rock/ jazz-rock fusion can draw comparisons to King Crimson, Soft Machine, Van Der Graaf Generator, or, with regard to German Bands, Nine Days Wonder, Alcatraz oder later groups such as Thirsty Moon. Eiliff had a unique style based on their considerable individual talents. Their fir…
Utopia 1972
Recorded at the same time (July 1972) at the same studio (Bavaria Studios, Munich) as Amon Düül II`s well known and of their best efforts 'Wolf City', Utopia was a common project by Amon Düül II producer and musician Olaf Kübler (saxophone, moog) and Düül bass player Lothar Meid. Using the synergy of the parallel sessions with the Wolf City recordings, Olaf Kübler appreciated Düüls singer Renate Knaup-Krötenschwanz as singer of 2 of the album tracks and Düül heads Weinzierl and Karrer on guitar …
Exmagma 3
Recorded in 1975 at Conny's studio with famous Conny Planck at the controls this is Exmagma`s masterpiece for the 1st time on vinyl. Surprise, surprise, there are some vocals on it and some tracks rock as hell. Musically not so far away from the Et Cetera recordings but with more aggressive moments. Edgy riffs, colourful sounds and extensive soli determine the picture. Influenced by early Soft Machine, John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, Frank Zappa, this double album is a monolith, you have t…
