Glass Bead Games
Glass Bead Games is undoubtedly one of the finest spiritual jazz recordings to come out of the 70s, and is one that you absolutely must not miss!
A Spirit Speaks
The only spiritual jazz album by the family band led by Bill Lee, the bassist known for composing the classic ‘Coltrane’ and father of film director Spike Lee, for Strata-East. A beautifully shining masterpiece that conveys the depth and greatness of 70s spiritual jazz!
Sound of Joy
This is the first Sun Ra 1957 work that Delmark released to the world after it was unreleased on Trungeon. A treasured early recording with a rough but beautiful big band sound!
Sun Song
Sun Ra's debut album, released in 1956, catapulted Sun Ra from the Chicago jazz scene to become a darling of the underground scene. This important album featured star players such as John Gilmour!
Flying Doesn't Help
Anthony Moore 1979 album Flying Doesn't Help is being reissued in paperback! A unique masterpiece, pop and cutting-edge!
Pressing News: British Music As It Happened 1962-1972 (Book)
Hardcover Edition, large format. A treasure trove of rare information and imagery, Pressing News is the latest book by Richard Morton Jack, author of Nick Drake: The Life, Labyrinth, Psychedelia, Galactic Ramble and Endless Trip. A huge number of new records came out in the UK every week in the 1960s and 70s, many of them accompanied by press releases. These offered important and fascinating information but were almost all discarded, meaning that very few have survived. The product of decades of…
Like Someone In Love
One of the greatest line-ups of drummer Art Blakey’s hard bop finishing school The Jazz Messengers locked into place in 1960 when tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter joined trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt for the recording of The Big Beat, an album that signaled the transformation of the band into a modern jazz juggernaut. In August of that year The Jazz Messengers returned to Van Gelder Studio twice for sessions that would yield the companion albums A Night In…
1971-72
For the very first time on vinyl a mandatory compilation with both rarities and unreleased tracks, showcasing their second line up! At the end of January 1971, lead vocalist Linda Hoyle and organist Lynton Naiff left Affinity. Instead of going separate ways, the other three members recruited vocalist Vivienne McAuliffe (Principal Edwards Magic Theatre) and ex-Tornados keyboardist Dave Watts. Reminiscent at times of Sandy Denny, Vivienne's voice was a natural addiction to the new incarnation of t…

Patriots
*2025 stock* Franco Battiato's 1980 album Patriots, his first for the major multinational company EMI, found him moving to more of a synth-based pop/rock sound, the better to create stirring anthems like the opening track, "Up Patriots to Arms." The 40th anniversary edition of the album adds four bonus tracks, including English- and Spanish-language versions of that song. Later Battiato albums would enjoy widespread commercial success, but Patriots set the stage for that mass popularity.
L'Era Del Cinghiale Bianco
*2025 stock* L'Era del Cinghiale Bianco (The White Boar Era) marks the clamorous Pop turning point of Franco Battiato. Created with the fundamental help of violinist Giusto Pio, this work is widely considered a masterpiece, and in 1979 it changed the destiny of Italian music forever.Essentially, it is an album of transition: between past and future, between Prog experimentalism and a new intellectual form of Pop influenced by the New Wave. The title of the album draws inspiration from a Celtic m…
Mirage
The only 'group' on the Black Jazz roster, The Awakening today should be heralded as one of the great bands in early '70s jazz. That they're not is the result of the Black Jazz label's distribution woes; witness the fact that original copies of both of their records for the imprint command prices in the hundreds of dollars if you can find them at all. Mirage is their second (1973) album, the last one they made together; it boasts the same Chicago-based, AACM-centric line-up as the first, with th…
Bert And John
Donovan includes a hearty shout-out to his contemporary, Bert Jansch, with the tracks “Bert’s Blues,” and “House Of Jansch”. This collaboration between English folk guitar legends Bert Jansch & John Renbourn of Pentangle fame is astonishing from first note to last. You can sense the intense pleasure of two gifted men not only matching one another as they play, but combining their talent to create something more than the admittedly impressive sum of its parts. It’s rare to hear two guitarists so …
Aum
A mix of eastern and western styles, acoustic and electric instruments and musique concrete, the German-born Georg Deuter has been sharing his unique style with the world since an early brush with death prompted him to pursue a music career in 1970. Over the years Deuter, who now lives in Santa Fe, has followed his own spiritual path around the globe, releasing dozens of albums in the New Age genre, his most recent being 2010's Mystery Of Light. 1972's Aum, originally released on the Germ…
Moral Rearmament
*300 copies* Zahgurim was a TOPY-affilated band formed in the mid Eighties by Paul Ackerley and William Vince. They recorded one album, "Moral Rearmament" for Dossier side label Atonal. It was produced and mixed by Paul Ackerley and William Vince with Simon Crabtree and Julian Gilbert (both of Bourbonese Qualk) at The Old Ambulance Station, Old Kent Road, London on October 24 and 25 1984. This new and first digital edition celebrates the 30th anniversary of a classic Industrial album. A lot of p…
Red Clay
This is the sequential classic of Freddie Hubbard‘s catalog. Bandmates on this musical journey are Herbie Hancock on Fender Rhodes, Ron Carter on electric & acoustic bass, Lenny White on drums & Joe Henderson on tenor sax & alto flute. ‘Red Clay’ is accessible, grooving and one of the first fusions of R&B & Funk with Post-Bop. “Red Clay” sprung from his memories of his childhood in Indianapolis, noting that many of the neighborhood’s residents had come from the deep South, and he wanted the tune…
The Blue Yusef Lateef
On “The Blue Yusef Lateef” (1968), listeners get an amazing chapter from the late ’60s, an amazing period when everything in the world of Jazz was changing. Yusef Lateef was big on concept recordings. This album examines all the different ranges of emotion contained within the blues genre. With a band that included Detroit Jazz gods Roy Brooks on drums and Kenny Burrell on guitar, Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Hugh Lawson on piano, Sonny Red on alto, Bob Cranshaw on electric bass, and a very young C…
