Catalog #:
AK 126CD
"Originally released in 1972 on Italian RCA... a very rare album recorded in London and Milano...nice mellow psychedelia with some Eastern influences... original artwork... gatefold sleeve." Donovan-influenced, sitar-laced, this is a rather extraordinary psych/folk revelation and one of the most impressive Akarma archive gestures to date. Not some laughable Kissing Spell-type atrocity.

Catalog #:
AK 174CD
"Recorded in 1968, this self title debut by one of the most interesting garage psych bands of the US underground scene was originally turned down by major record labels and this caused Brain Police's disbanding. Akarma is proud to add this new CD reissue to the previously released vinyl version to fully revive the freshness of the San Diego based psychedelic group. Includes an interesting biography of the band."

$21.00
Catalog #:
AK 174LP
"Originally released in 1968 by K.B. Artists (the original demo tape was recorded on a primitive 4-track machine and the album was pressed for promo use only)... The Brain Police were one of San Diego's most popular '60s groups and their unique combination of pop songs and heavy rock created a remarkable document of American rock's transitionary period between flower-power and the guitar-led heavy rock that dominated the scene in 1969. Original artwork. 180 gram vinyl."

ROBERTSON, DON
Title:
Dawn
Label:
AKARMA (ITALY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
AK 240CD
"Today the native San Franciscoan Don Robertson is an improbable 60 year-old multi-instrumentalist and new age composer, but back in 1969 when this album was released on Limelight (a subsidiary of Mercury) he was the obscure and uncontested master of 'eastern psychedelia'. In the mid-sixties, like many of his peers, Robertson began experimenting with non-western music, which led him to record the extraordinary
Dawn
in 1969. Here, in addition to piano, Robertson plays guitar, harp and various traditional instruments, such as the tablas and the jaltarang. The result is a surprising and engaging mix of eastern-influenced jazz, psych rock, and classical music. Gatefold sleeve with biography and archival photos provided by Don Robertson himself."

Title:
Nice to Meet Miss Christine
Label:
AKARMA (ITALY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
AK 310CD
"Christine Harwood's debut LP for the obscure British 'Birth' Label was the only record she ever made. No singles were ever released and it was seldom heard beyond these shores -- the making of a record collector's holy grail. Alongside the obscure Vashti Bunyan LP and Julie Covington's early solo LP,
Nice to Meet Miss Christine
remains one of the most sought after English female folk records ever released. You just have to listen to her cover of CSN&Y's 'Wooden Ships' to realize why.
Miss Christine's
naked vocals ride a rock-solid back beat with clavinet funk and a wash of luscious strings sending you into a trance-like state."

Label:
AKARMA (ITALY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
AK 322CD
"An obscure and rare record from this folk act led by James Harpham, (who plays the recorder, an ancient flute-like instrument).
A Handful Of Pleasant Delites
was originally released by Middle Earth in 1969 -- the same label as Arcanum and Writing On The Wall -- and featured an interesting blend of acoustic folk, baroque medleys, jazz improvisations and experimental music constantly shifting from pastoral atmospheres to urban neurosis. The original issue has now reached sky high prices so this reissue -- now available also on CD -- will please all who have been looking for this title for many years."

The Real Thing feat. Vic Vergeat
Label:
AKARMA (ITALY)
Format:
CD/DVD
Price:
$28.00
Catalog #:
AK 343CD
"Akarma is proud to bring you this very special CD & DVD release of this live Toad performance recorded in Switzerland in 1973 featuring Vic Vergeat. A true master of the six-string, Vergeat never compromised his love for music always keeping in that particular style of blues rock made famous by bands like Cream, Free, Led Zeppelin, etc. This veritable 'best of' track listing finds Vergeat in top form thanks in no small part to his stellar rhythm section. The DVD not only includes the full live concert, but also documents a few other interesting moments in the life of this Swiss band." Akarma doesn't bother to note it, but the DVD is PAL-format only, for Europe.
