Kestrel
2025 stock. Lacquer cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. With Obi Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amon…

Livin' Love Plus
*2025 stock. LP miniature* A road paving, agency grabbing, '69 girl group garage band trip! Nashville, 1966: five young girls teach themselves their instruments playing along to the radio. Initially named 'The Pivots' and by the end of '67 christened as The Feminine Complex, they were playing out and developing a local following including radio and television appearances.

Piece Of Mind (Lp)
*2025 stock.t with obi-strip* Originally released in 1972, this sole album from New Zealand trio Serenity is a folk-rock masterpiece with elements of blues, psychedelic rock and jazz interweaved. Sounding somewhat like a folk rock version of Cream, this is another Holy Grail of acid folk / psychedelic folk rock, with originals almost impossible to find. Immediately sold-out after the initial reissue back in 2000, it has been on many collectors’ want list. With the album finally seeing a limited …
Pass The Distance
*2025 stock. LP miniature* "A black-magical Devendra Banhart in a different time/place long before this freakfolk thing hit, the English bard Simon Finn released Pass The Distance, a sprawling, fractured, dense brew of dark acid-folk... The album’s centerpiece is “Jerusalem”, a six-minute, shiver-inducing crucifixion-of-Jesus exorcism that anticipates Current 93 as well as a bevy of lesser apocalyptic folkies. By its ecstatic, organ smashed final strains, you can’t but help imagining Finn sweaty…

Before The War
2025 stock 180 gram exact repro reissue, manufactured by Rhino. "Great 1968 Atco US psych/pop/rock album by this Boston four piece, produced and arranged by Felix Pappalardi before he joined Mountain. Pappalardi also shares some writing credits with the band (there is an early version of 'Travelling In the Dark' later recorded with Mountain) and he plays on a couple of cuts, but this is by no means a heavy rock record. At times the album has quite an unusual spaced out folky pop feel to it and o…
Vol. 2 (Breaking Through)
Released in 1967 on Reprise Records as a follow up to Part One, Vol. 2 takes the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band into more ambitious territory. Reaching out to more psychedelic territory than the debut LP, Vol. 2 maintains their unique pop sound mixed with ominous fuzz guitar, jumping from graceful folk-rock to wailing guitar freakouts, to multilayered avant-garde compositions at a moment’s notice. First time reissued in mono, from the original master tapes. Limited Velvet Purple Vinyl.

Though they didn’t achieve the fame of other bands from the area, they have nonetheless achieved a cult status among collectors and people curious about a rich, albeit short-lived musical g…

Benzaiten
World music and ethno sounds with an obvious Japanese origin meet progressive rock and psyche. The result is a captivating piece of melodic and deeply atmospheric music that paints pictures of life in ancient Japan into your mind when you lay back, close your eyes and listen closely with your thoughts turned off. If Pink Floyd were Japanese their music might have sounded like that. The frequency of the arrangements on „Benzaiten“ reminds of what our English heroes have created in the early to mi…
