Complete Studio Albums Box Set
Proto-punk MADNESS from Ladbroke Grove! The complete studio works of the most dangerous band in late-60s Britain - three albums of teeth-grinding, psychedelic rock that make the MC5 sound like a boy band. Mick Farren and his merry gang of social deviants laid the blueprint for EVERYTHING that followed: punk, Hawkwind, Motörhead, the whole bloody lot. This is where it started.
The Social Deviants emerged from London's underground in 1967, fueled by the agit-prop satire of the Fugs, the sonic ter…
Chou no Sumu Heya
The room where butterflies live. A place between worlds. Enter at your own risk - you may not find your way back out. Sai Yoshiko's fourth and final album of the 1970s stands as one of the most singular documents in Japanese music - a jazz-inflected fever dream that marked the end of an era. Originally released in 1978 on Columbia (LX-7058-A), Chou no Sumu Heya represented a dramatic departure from her earlier psychedelic folk explorations. Here was something else entirely: a surreal and dynamic…
Takla Makan
Sai Yoshiko (佐井好子) - one of Japan's most legendary and enigmatic singers - made her debut in 1975 with Mangekyou, an album of superbly crafted songs and crystal-clear vocals over Yuji Ohno's lush, funky arrangements. Three more masterpieces followed in rapid succession: Mikkou (1976), Taiji no Yume (1977), and Chou no Sumu Heya (1978). Her melancholic, poetic lyrics drew from the gothic imagination of Japanese novelists like Ranpo Edogawa, Mushitaro Oguri, and Yumeno Kyusaku - dark fairy tales s…
The Madcap Laughs
On The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barrett turns his post-Floyd fracture into a stark, lopsided songbook: blues shuffles, nursery-rhyme mantras and bare confessions recorded as if they might evaporate mid-take. The result is intimate, unsettling and enduringly luminous.
Opel
On Opel, Syd Barrett’s lost songs and alternate takes surface like fragments from a parallel 1968–70, exposing the raw circuitry behind The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. What was once fan lore becomes a fragile, disorienting self‑portrait in real time.
Stoned Guitar
Recorded in the spring of 1970, this legendary album shows why many consider The Human Instinct to be the finest psychedelic rock band ever to emerge from New Zealand. Led by drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer and featuring the guitar pyrotechnics of the legendary Billy Te Kahika, Stoned Guitar has long been established as a classic hard psychedelic rock album.
Raw Material
The 1970 debut by this London-based quintet, originally released on the small Evolution label and now a sought-after grail of British proto-prog. One of the earliest documents of progressive rock in the making - raw, unpolished, absolutely essential.
Raw Material emerged from the late-sixties London underground: Colin Catt on keyboards and vocals, Dave Green on guitar, Phil Gunn on bass, Paul Young on drums, and Mick Fletcher on saxophone, flute and harmonica. The group had its roots in R&B jam …
Eclipse
Recorded in 1973, Eclipse was intended as Jade Warrior's fourth Vertigo release but was shelved before pressing, circulating only as rare test pressings. Restored with the band's original running order and period artwork, this is top notch British progressive rock, blending delicate acoustic passages with bursts of heavy-rock intensity, African, and Middle Eastern rhythms. The missing link between Last Autumn's Dream and their later Island-era sound. Sourced and remastered from the original mast…
Hold Your Fire
Rising from the ashes of Timebox, Patto delivered a bold fusion of progressive rock, jazz, and blues powered by Mike Patto's soulful vocals and Ollie Halsall's stunning guitar work. Their second album, Hold Your Fire (1971), originally on Vertigo, is a true gem of early '70s progressive rock. Comes with original artwork in gimmix gatefold sleeve. Remastered by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos/memorabilia.
Patto
Formed in London in 1970, Patto evolved from the legendary Timebox and were known for their unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, blues, and their exceptional musicianship. Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo. Comes in original gatefold artwork in textured sleeve. Features stereo mixes and mastering by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki an…
H.P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Rock is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released in October 1967 by Philips Records, this cult classic returns to vinyl, restoring its haunting, eerie ambiance for a new generation of psych explorers.
Blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, H.P. Lovecraft draws direct inspiration from the cosmic horror tales of author H.P. Lovecraft—the band's namesake. The albu…
The Beat of the Earth
Cosmic Rock Records proudly announces the long-awaited reissue of The Beat of the Earth, the ultra-rare debut album from the enigmatic experimental jam band The Beat of the Earth. Formed in 1967 amid the sun-soaked vibes of Orange County, California, this elusive artifact was originally released in minuscule quantities on Radish Records—a obscure private press label that barely scratched the surface of the era's underground scene.
Guided by the visionary Phil Pearlman (later the mastermind behin…
Relatively Clean Rivers
*2026 repress!* Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of Relatively Clean Rivers came out the same year on the leader Phil Pearlman label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly …
Sixties Japanese Garage Psych Sampler
*2026 repress!!* Here's for the real thing! A late 60s Japanese compilation investigating the so-called "group sound" movement. Includes early recordings by a series of musicians later to perform with legendary bands such as the Flower Travellin' Band, Speed Glue & Shinki, Les Rallizes Denudes and Foodbrain. Must have !
Love And Poetry
Totally trippy Irish psychedelia for the morning after the ‘Summer of Love’. Led by Belfast-born prodigy David Lewis, Andwellas Dreams' debut album Love and Poetry from 1969 blurs the line between Denmark Street and Cyprus Avenue. A 13-song pastoral fever dream that was lost in the CBS warehouse, now remastered and restored to its original splendour.
Before Time Began - Radio Broadcast 1967-1970

Eclipse (recordings for john peel at the BBC Paris Theatre, London)
This remarkable collection of vintage concerts captures Pink Floyd live in 1971, recorded by BBC Radio and originally broadcast as part of their legendary Rocker series. The performances were introduced by none other than iconic DJ John Peel, whose influence helped shape the progressive rock scene of the era.

Disappointment - Hateruma
Wewantsounds is delighted to continue its Yoshiko Sai reissue program with the release of "Mikkou", the Japanese singer-songwriter's 2nd album released in 1976 on Black Records. The album, produced by ace arranger Isamu Haruna, keeps the same formula as "Mangekyou" with Yoshiko Sai's beautiful songs and dreamy vocals over cool funky arrangements, this time featuring legendary guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka. This is the first time "Mikkou" is widely available outside of Japan, with remastered audio…
Live at End Cole Ave 1969
In March 1969, the Velvet Underground, featuring Doug Yule now on bass, launched a nationwide tour that captured a pivotal moment in rock history. Among those dates was a memorable engagement at Dallas’ "End Of Cole Avenue" club—one of the rare live shows professionally recorded with a sound engineer on site. Previously, selections from these performances appeared in 1974 on the 1969: Velvet Underground Live album, but the sound was hampered by the use of third- or fourth-generation tapes, limit…
Churchills
Cut in 1969, this self-titled album feels like the first fully immersive psychedelic rock statement from its own scene. At a time when local airwaves were ruled by polite pop and lightweight fare, Churchills arrived riding waves of fuzz and twisting studio gear to its limits. The lineup itself tells the story. Frontman Stan Solomon brought a raw, soulful presence; guitarist Robb Huxley carried deep experience of the classic rock songbook, its riff language and studio tricks. Alongside them, guit…
