Artist: AFTER TEA
Title: Jointhouse Blues
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1001CD
This legendary band were originally formed in 1967 by members of Dutch pop act The Tee Set, as well as future Spencer Davis Group guitarist Ray Fenwick. By 1970, they had undergone numerous changes in their line-up and musical approach, as well as hassles relating to a dope bust, and this lost classic stands in stark contrast to their earlier hits. A gritty collection of tough blues-rock workouts, it's sure to please fans of early '70s hard rockers such as Led Zeppelin, Free, Savoy Brown and Leaf Hound. Includes a band history.


Artist: HELL PREACHERS INC.
Title: Supreme Psychedelic Underground
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1002CD
Long-rumored to be the work of the young Deep Purple, this 1968 psychedelic exploitation LP from Hell Preachers Inc. certainly features plenty of wah-wah and Hammond organ, and stands up as a fine set of acid-influenced jams in its own right. Only briefly released in Germany and the UK in its day, it makes its long-overdue return to circulation here.


Artist: AORTA
Title: Aorta
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1003CD
As the Exception, this quartet were one of Chicago's top mid-'60s bands. In 1968, they shook up their personnel, changed their name to Aorta and embraced psychedelia, issuing their debut album the following spring. An ambitious psychedelic suite, this 1969 release alternates between mellow and heavier sounds, with some intense fuzz guitar and sound effects, and stands as one of the best major label psych LPs of the late 1960s.


Artist: DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE, THE
Title: Creation
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1004CD
This youthful quintet formed as a tough New York R&B act in 1965. By the time they made their sole album in 1967, they'd evolved into an impressive psych-influenced rock band, with a moody sound that has been described as "early Rolling Stones meets early Grateful Dead." Their classic LP makes its long-overdue return to CD here, complete with explanatory notes, and is sure to appeal to fans of The Chocolate Watch Band, the Lollipop Shoppe and other seminal U.S. garage-punk acts. Includes a booklet featuring an extensive band history.


Artist: MR. FLOOD'S PARTY
Title: Mr. Flood's Party
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1005CD
This New York-based sextet only released one album, combining The Beatles, rock, jazz and classical influences to create a haunting, lost classic. It sold poorly at the time, perhaps because its concept (it was based on the work of American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson) was out of step with the prevailing ethos in 1969. Long out-of-print and prized by collectors, it finally returns to CD here, together with explanatory liner notes and a rare non-LP bonus track.


Artist: NUCLEUS
Title: Nucleus
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1006CD
Not to be confused with the British act of the same name, this Canadian quintet arose from the ashes of one of Toronto's most popular '60s bands, The Lords Of London. Their sole album originally appeared in April 1969, and features intense jamming, with plenty of swirling organ and tough guitar. When it failed to sell, they split, with three members going on to form 1970s hitmakers A Foot In Coldwater.


Artist: GOTHIC HORIZON
Title: Tomorrow's Another Day....
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1007CD
Originally issued in the UK only in 1972, the second and final album by this British folk-pop duo finally returns to CD here. It has been compared to the work of Honeybus, Badfinger (whose Pete Ham puts in a guest appearance) and The Kinks (whose John Gosling also appears on it), as well as folkier bands like Magna Carta and Tir na Nog, and stands up well as a beautiful collection of pastoral songs with glorious vocal harmonies and intricate instrumentation.


Artist: SEA STONE
Title: Mirrored Dreams
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1008CD
Originally released on the tiny Plankton label in a tiny run in 1978, this British quartet's sole album was recorded over the preceding five years. Containing some intense jams with searing guitar leads from leader Simon Law, it is widely regarded as one of the best albums to have emerged from the 1970s Christian rock scene, and makes its long-awaited return to CD here.


Artist: CHURCHILL'S
Title: Churchill's
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1009CD
This is universally-acclaimed as one of the greatest and most imaginative albums to have emerged from a non-English speaking country in the heyday of psychedelia. Recorded cheaply in Tel Aviv in 1969 (partially as the soundtrack to an obscure movie), it combines the talents of the Canadian Stan Solomon, the British Rob Huxley and Israelis Haim Romano, Michael Gabrielov and Amy Trebitch to devastating effect. Original copies routinely change hands for well into four figures, making this return to CD especially welcome. Includes 10 unlisted bonus tracks!


Artist: DULCIMER
Title: Room For Thought
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1010CD
This legendary folk trio originally formed in Gloucestershire, England in 1967. Having been spotted by the actor Richard Todd, they signed to impresario Larry Page's Nepentha label and released their classic debut album, And I Turned As I Had Turned As A Boy, in May 1971. It was well-received, and a follow-up was recorded later that year, entitled Room For Thought. Despite being a fine folk-rock collection and having finished artwork, it went unreleased at the time, and makes its long-awaited return here.


Artist: KING, DENNY
Title: Evil Wind Is Blowing
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1012CD
This superb blues-rock album was issued on Little Richard's Specialty label in the summer of 1972, and has barely been heard since. Featuring the distinctive singing and guitar of Wisconsin-native King, backed by early Captain Beefheart sidemen Alex St. Claire and Doug Moon, it's a lost genre classic with unusually fine musicianship and an odd vibe all of its own. Includes biographical liner notes.


Artist: MACHINE
Title: Machine
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1013CD
Machine evolved out of Dutch pop-soul legends Swinging Soul Machine in 1970, and featured vocalist John Caljouw, who'd previously been a member of local psych legends Dragonfly. Their sole album combines acid guitar with brass and progressive flourishes, coming across like a combination of Chicago and Deep Purple. It was issued in Holland only in 1970, and original vinyl copies are considerable rarities today, making this CD reissue especially welcome. Includes liner notes.


Artist: MUTZIE
Title: Light Of Your Shadow
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1014CD
Spawned by the same scene that produced The Stooges, MC5 and Bob Seger, this Detroit quartet made only one record, which originally appeared in August 1970. A heady brew of hard rock, blues, jazz and funk, it sold poorly, meaning that the band (who shared stages with the Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Alice Cooper, and many other leading acts of the era) splintered soon afterwards, leaving behind just one lost gem. Liner notes included.


Artist: DIONYSOS
Title: Le Grand Jeu
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1015CD
Dionysos was one of Canada's most influential early progressive rock bands. Having formed in Quebec in 1969, they gained a name for combining French-language vocals with intricate musical interplay, and played at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1971. This classic debut appeared the same year, combining stoner rock with psychedelia, blues and progressive influences, and makes a welcome return to CD here, together with background notes.


Artist: CORPUS
Title: Creation - A Child
Label: AXIS UK (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: AX 1016CD
From Corpus Christi, Texas, this gritty quintet produced one of the best underground rock LPs of the early 1970s, which appeared on the tiny Acorn label in 1972. Their song structures reflect the influence of psychedelia, while the jamming guitars pay homage to southern rock greats like the Allman Bros. Original copies now sell for several hundred dollars, making this long-awaited reissue especially welcome.
