Psych /
The Other Half
Reissue of the Californian psychedelic band's only album released on Acta Records in 1968. Their sound was influenced by early Rolling Stones and Yardbirds (not coincidentally, guitarist Randy Holden, later on also in Blue Cheer, was offered to replace Jeff Beck). Their name gained attention after their single ‘Mr. Pharmacist’ was included in the famous Nuggets collection.
1980-1981 Fields Of Artifical Flowers
Psychotic works of L-R-D from 80 & 81. Noise bliss and sad feedback. Pivoting into a more rich toned psychosis of sound, these sessions have been lightly remastered lovingly by Polish engineer Kurzweil Holownia.
Why Don't You Smile Now: Lou Reed at Pickwick Records 1964-65
First official anthology of Lou Reed’s work for Pickwick Records 1964-1965
1966
Ripped from who knows where… 1966 Velvet Underground. Lou Reed isn’t even playing on Heroin or Venus In Furs, and reportedly it’s Angus Maclise on drums, Moe Tucker on bass. John Cale is singing & playing the organ. Do you need to know much else? Couldn’t wait to get our hands on these. Bless NAGCZ.
Simla Beat 70
Sensational reissue for the first volume of iconic compilation Simla Beat 70. A psych garage manifesto, the record consisted of groups who appeared at the All-India Simla Beat ‘battle of the bands’ contest held in two years (1970 and '71) in Bombay. The annual event and the records were sponsored by The Imperial Tobacco Company. Bands from all around India would compete for first prize. The album - indeed - was not recorded live on the stage but in a primitive makeshift studio using very little …

Les Rallizes Dénudés with Fujio Yamaguchi as a member, burst into a historic live performance at Shibuya Attic in October 1980, and this is finally officially released!
The Plastic Cloud
*200 copies limited edition* "What remains so remarkable about the band's album is that... the performances retain an energy, but also a naivety, that somehow evokes both the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground — often within the same song." —Shindig! Magazine
In 1968, the Plastic Cloud released one of the greatest underground psychedelic albums ever made: a swirl of gossamer vocals and Tolkien references swathed in the some of the most relentless fuzz guitar you will ever hear. It is …

Sainte Anthony's Fyre
A wild, loud, raw New Jersey hard psych beast that’s been a favorite target of record collectors, dealers, bootleggers, and swamp dwellers for the past two decades, originally released on the Zonk! label.
Happy End
Happy End's eponymous debut is a crucial piece of the J-Rock puzzle and a turning point for Japanese music. Originally released in 1970 on URC (Underground Record Club), Happy End finds creative mastermind Haruomi Hosono aborting the short-lived psychedelic rock project Apryl Fool, for a new direction in sound. Here the future YMO head teams up with former Apryl Fool drummer Takashi "Rei" Matsumoto and two new guitarists, Shigeru Suzuki and Eiichi Ohtaki, to deliver pioneering Japanese folk rock…
The Fillmore West July 7 1966
Previously unreleased live soundboard recordings from this groovy group from the '60s San Francisco Bay Area scene. Along with The Sopwith Camel, The Beau Brummels, The Mystery Trend, The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, The Warlocks and The Grateful Dead, The Final Solution were part of the first wave of San Francisco rock bands having formed in 1965. They were very popular all over the Bay Area and appear on countless early posters of the period, but they never released anything. If you dig …
Sweet Sister
"Tokyo psych monsters Up-Tight come out of the classically wasted/drug-damaged school of excessive fuzz and reverb, giving the nod to the endless jam style of Les Rallizes Denudes while spiking their sound with dark downer ballads that owe as much to The Jacks as they do to The Velvet Underground. If you can picture Spacemen 3 circa “The Perfect Prescription” produced by Ghost circa “Temple Stone” then you’re close to the outrageous levels of psychedelic excess captured here. Tomoyuki’s guitar t…
We Will Fall
Corbett Vs. Dempsey presents the second release in an ongoing series that will reconstruct the legacy known and the legacy damned of the most overlooked and under-documented American free rock unit, Dredd Foole and the Din.
Algo Salvaje Vol. 4
After three previous volumes in our series “Algo Salvaje” devoted to the Spanish nuggets, the new instalment explores the darkest, neglected and rebellious side of Peruvian 60s garage beat.
“Algo salvaje” is an anthology devoted to a rich period when hundreds of bands appeared all over the world and, after paying attention to what their US and British contemporaries were doing, found their own way to vent their teenage rebellion through loud guitars. With amazing results!
Many of the 14 tracks a…

My Girl Hates My Heroin
*2023 stock* The essence of punk rock itself through Ron Asheton’s guitars and the voice of a young but already sanely crazy Iggy Pop. From the amazing title cut opener “My Girl Hates My Heroin” to “Raw Power” or “Open Up and Bleed,” this LP is an invitation into Stooges’ musical stage universe.
Orphan Egg
*In process of stocking* Orphan Egg were a short lived group who were formed in 1967 in San Jose California. Their sole self-titled album was released in 1968 on the small independent company Carole Records. Essentially a garage-psych album – in the tradition of future iconic compilation like Nuggets or Pebbles – Orphan Egg was recorded by a bunch of students at Saratoga High School in Saratoga. Occasionally they won the Vox Battle of the Bands, a nationwide competition. They also appeared on th…
