Sings Songs From His TV Series
"The fourth studio album by the American solo artist Scott Walker was released in June 1969. The album does not include original compositions by Walker and consists of performances of ballads and big band standards. The record is an accompaniment to his BBC TV series, the simply named Scott, aired during Walker’s self-described 'wilderness years.' Released between Scott III and Scott IV, Sings Songs From His TV Series was a collection of songs Walker performed on the show re-recorded in studio."
I'll Be Anything For You
"Tamiko Jones - born Barbara Tamiko Ferguson in 1945 in Kyle, West Virginia – debuted in 1967 on Atlantic with flautist and mentor Herbie Mann on the soul-jazz-bossa flavored A Mann & A Woman. Her solo career take off in 1968 with the rare groove inflected I'll Be Anything For You, released on A&M/CTI and produced by label owner Creed Taylor. Recorded and engineered by master Rudy Van Gelder at his own Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the album is such a lovely combination of soul-funk ja…
The Man From O.R.G.A.N.
"Can you truly believe this record was released in 1965? Forging a brand new hybrid of space-age, easy listening and spy jazz the American pianist and composer Dick Hyman, born in New York in 1927, put together one of the cornerstone of the genre. Before switching to the Moog synthesizer (right on time with the moon landing in 1969) he had some very influential theme music releases on MGM Records and Command. But The Man From O.R.G.A.N. was a monster in itself. How could you go wrong with this t…
Paranoia
**300 copies, to be released in mid June** "To complete the Orgasmo / Paranoia soundtrack set, Four Flies adds two songs to the cake (both not included in the LP version). An alternate take of Lydia MacDonald's Fate Had Planned So, more rhythmical and dynamic than the one used for the titles sequence, and the soul hit Just Tell Me, sung by the American Wess, and performed by his Airedales. The song is heard repeatedly in Orgasmo, but it’s also used in the following film, A Quiet Place to Kill, w…
Il Medico Della Mutua / Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli ...
"Il medico della Mutua" and "Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli..." are two Italian cult films, released in theaters in 1968 and 1969 respectively; both see Alberto Sordi as main character, an initially unknown doctor that makes its way in a rigid and almost impenetrable system as that of the Italian health, and eventualy manages to open his own private clinic in which to speculate at the expense of his patients.The two films, while dealing with the problems and contradictions of a system still 'sick…
Everyday Madness
A glimpse behind the curtains of Basil Kirchin’s archive, "Everyday Madness" commits nearly 40 minutes of concrète studio poltergeist and aleatoric psychedelic collage from a true original.
Le Poète
A triple vinyl box with poster, celebrating the art of great French chansonnier Serge Gainsbourg.
Brasilian Sound
Le Tres Groove Club present a reissue of Les Masques' Brasilian Sound, originally released in 1969. Claude Germain (Les Double Six), José Bartel, Marie Vassiliu, Pierre Vassiliu -- Indeed the singers forming Les Masques are from being unknown. In 1969 they entered Studio Davout with le Trio Camara to record Brasilian Sound. Composed of 11 tracks, it is a superb album, masterfully produced and recorded, a gripping record to listen in one go. It will transport you to atmospheres both dreamy and na…
On Tour
In the original liner notes for Chuck Jackson's On Tour (1964), Bob King describes Jackson "a man with pent up talent." Consequently, this LP is the sound of that talent erupting all over the stage of the famed Apollo Theater, the same venue where Jackson had been discovered a few years earlier.Jackson leads the airtight band through raw, sweat-soaked versions of his hits I Wake Up Crying and Any Day Now, giving the audience their money's worth and more. He also includes well-chosen covers, like…

Musique Electronique Du Cosmos
Jean-Jacques Perrey has long been recognized as a pioneer of electronic music. Along with his musical partner at the time, Gershon Kingsley, the duo recorded a landmark album: The In Sound From Way Out, which was released by Vanguard Records in 1966. Perrey went on to record over 24 more albums of electronic music during his lifetime. But prior to this seminal electronic album Perrey already had an impressive career as an electronic music pioneer, having been the demo man for Georges Jenny's Ond…
Mr. Ondioline
Since the true identity of this sinister masked electronic keyboard villain was revealed in Jean-Jacques Perrey's recent autobiography, the Mr. Ondioline EP has become a desirable record amongst collectors of early electronics. As a controversial figure amongst the early musique concrete pioneers due to his painstaking ambition to put popular melody into edited tape music, this debut release from 1960 hears Mr. Ondioline showcasing Perrey's Ondioline electronic keyboard (and synth precursor) …
La Conquista di Luna
*2022 stock* A journey into space with a wonderful sound – served up here as a set of cosmic instrumentals from Luciano Michelini, most of which have a pretty groovy vibe! The mix of 60s instrumentation, spacey touches, and light electric moments peppered with cool keyboards or woodwinds, and occasional wordless vocals – all in this way that provides a wonderful 60s fantasy of the moon, and one that's actually a lot more exciting than any of the real moon landing records out there. There is only…
Moon Gas
There is a distinct possibility that this is the greatest record ever recorded before 1968. Space age bachelor pad music meets concrete music. 1963 was the recording date ! Unbelievable. Strange synths, oscillators and custom made electric guitars with help of the lowrey organ. No words can really describe this record. The jazz genre spawned a couple of quite colorful subspecies that were part of important pop cultural movements to let the ordinary man escape from the daily grind. Two…
Dance Sing And Listen
This album from 1963 is somewhat of a curiosity for it was actually conceived as educational, open-minded children's music. Despite the fact that the sound you listen to here is mash up of story telling for kids and simple, happy sing-along music mixed with loads of electronic effects making it an utterly spacey affair, original copies in great condition fetch up to 250,00 US$ among collectors. Now this reissue will make sure, this cult album can be enjoyed by more people crazy for early 60s ele…
Fischiando in Beat
*2022 stock* Due to a perhaps too buoyant and unfitting title and to a ridicolously limited distribution (even at the time of its original release), Fischiando in beat (Whistling in beat) has often been ignored despite being one of the most entertaining works signed by Piero Umiliani (here accompanied by his orchestra). Originally released in 1969, Fischiando in beat presents twelve gems of instrumental beat music, fabulous specimen of that music genre often labelled with the much-abused term 'l…
India
Scored for the Folco Quilici documentary, Alla Scoperta Dell’India, "India" is surely one of the most refined Italian Library soundtracks ever published. All in all, a sublime Eastern tinged, exotic jazz featuring Alessandro Alessandroni on Sitar, originally published in the late 60s (and realized in 1966) on the collectable Sermi label. Highest of recommendations!
