Catalog #:
SB 021CD
2010 repress on CD. Reissue of the first (of two) LPs by this Krautrock group, featuring Conny Veit (pre-Popol Vuh). New digipak edition, with small fold-out poster inside of what is sometimes referred to as the
Free Electric Sound
album. Drifty, blasted psychedelic rock with electronic effects, tabla, and Eastern exotica piled on. Recorded in Cologne in 1971 (released by BASF), and certainly superior to their follow up from '73,
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
, which was more of Popol Vuh-offshoot. This is one of
the
classic Krautrock albums, a flowing, conceptual masterpiece.

Catalog #:
SB 035CD
2010 repress on CD. First legit reissue of this 1971 Krautrock album, recorded in Köln and issued on Bacillus at the time. Includes 6 bonus rehearsal tracks from 1970 plus an unreleased 25 minute version of "Flash". A couple of tracks like the massive 13-minute opening "Dirty Yellow Mist" and "The Executioner" reveal the secrets of early 70s psych/rock as well as anything to be named, w/ monotonous, spacey riffing grinding into the third mind zone. "My Solid Ground's first and only record presented the full atmosphere of psychedelia -- sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholy. Superb guitars, hypnotical voices and classical keyboards recall Pink Floyd or Group 1850 at its best.

Catalog #:
SB 052LP
2010 repress, originally issued in 2005. "During the early '70s the Swiss Krokodil was one of the most exciting imports in the German rock scene. Its debut album, which was released in 1969, contained blues-inspired rock with many progressive touches. No wonder that Krokodil was often regarded as a Swiss version of the Groundhogs. This album is mega-rare now and hasn't been re-released on vinyl before. Finally here's an exact vinyl release of this fantastic LP in a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Coming with the original glossy fold-open cover and pressed on 180 gm virgin vinyl."

"Finally available on vinyl from Second Battle - official and legal from the master tapes. Krokodil goes progressive rock: This album isn't called a '70s milestone for nothing! You can hardly describe in detail what the band, working closely with sound wizard Dieter Dierks, accomplished here. To put it short:
Invisible World
simply contains each and every trademark of the genre - great songwriting, absolutely far out arrangements, highly imaginative solos and psychedelic mellotron and sitar sounds. Twelve page booklet in 10" format with the band story and never before seen photographs." Gatefold sleeve. Pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl.

Title:

Label:

Format:

Price:
$48.00
Catalog #:
SB 069LP
"At one time regarded as 'One of the best hard rock groups to ever come out of Belgium,' unfortunately Irish Coffee split up in 1975. Thirty years later, to our surprise, the band made a comeback at a Rockpalast gig in December 2005. This music is timeless. Out of the 14 tracks here, eight were released in the '70s on singles and on the band's only LP. Our LP contains the entire performance of about 64 minutes. Last but not least: The recordings have been specially remastered and now have a much better 'power sound.' This will bring a smile to all rock fans that like early seventies rock in top quality."

Catalog #:
SB 072LP
"
Free Electric Rock Session
is a live recording from Cologne in 1972 that was broadcasted 'live in studio' by a radio station in Germany (WDR). Although this album was never officially released at the time, this should be the second Gila album and even if only played as a radio broadcast, all of the tracks were brand new and are not available on their other two albums. In a similar fashion to the stunning debut album
Free Electric Sound
, this album pulls out all the underground Krautrock vibes and is a truly great album. Some years ago these recordings found their way on to a CD from Garden Of Delights (
Nightworks
). As this is not a studio album, the sound is not perfect, but the recordings have been (once again) restored at its best for this vinyl release. Our favourite track is 'The Gila Symphony' which clocks in at around 17 minutes and represents a great extended space-jam similar to the early Floyds. Limited edition 1000 copies."

Deluxe gatefold 2LP version. "Krautrock masterpiece, which is sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholic.

"
'The debut LP from Message was excellent, though, it took until the second album for them to reveal their full potential. Even without a second guitarrist and running-in a new drummer, part of the key to
From Books And Dreams
' success was Dieter Dierck's enthusiasm, phenomenal production and vivid recording. Yes, right through it's an album of astonishing creativity, menacing and intensely powerful, with bizarre surreal dream image lyrics and all sorts of surprising twists in the music.'

The Crack In The Cosmic Egg

Catalog #:
SB 075LP
"Message are one of those bands that are originally not only from Germany, but also from Britain. In 1968 bass player Horst Stachelhaus formed with Alan Murdock who had been before in several British bands like Mi5 (that later became Nektar). Message combined the best of British heavy and progressive styles with Krautrock innovation. Firmly in the definitive Bacillus rock style (with that unique Dieter Diercks sound), their debut
The Dawn Anew Is Comin'
shows an innovative progressive band at work." --

Catalog #:
SB 076LP
"Prof. Wolfff lived a short and intensive life in the early 70s, as a part of the Krautrock adventure - with gigs all over Germany and a TV performance at the 'Talentschuppen' (ARD - first German channel). The band unexpectedly split in March 1972, shortly after producing their first album
Prof. Wolfff
, which was released in 1972 by Metronome. Along with Ihre Kinder and Ton, Steine, Scherben, an important political rockband from Berlin, Prof. Wolfff was one of the first progressive rock bands in Germany exclusively singing German rock songs, even before Udo Lindenberg released his first 'German' album. As a result, other musicians were inspired to compose rock songs using German language." Housed in a full-color gatefold sleeve with an 8-page insert of photos and archival ephemera.
