Browse by Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)


Artist: PRENTICE & TUTTLE
Title: Every Loving Day
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 001CD
"Steve Prentice & Stephen Tuttle, two young Americans based in Boston, recorded their second and rare album in 1972. This collectable record is a fragile psych folk record with strong rural Americana feeling. All twelve tracks are originals and really deserve this CD treatment."


Artist: STROLLERS, THE
Title: Waiting Is...
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 007CD
"Amazing album from obscure band from Malaysia, The Strollers, recorded in 1973. Waiting Is... remains as one of the best psychedelic albums ever recorded in Asia: superb musicianship, top sound & production and original songs sung in perfect English. It ranges from full-blown heavy psych with killer organ, guitar & flute to amazing UK late sixties-styled pop-psych and some funky & proggy moments."


Artist: HARDAL
Title: Nereden Nereye!
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 008CD
"In the Turkey of the very late '70s, the psychedelic scene was over and there weren't many groups following the natural evolution to progressive rock...or maybe just one? However it was, Hardal was the most important prog group and recorded this, their first album, in 1980. It's a very special album, as it really doesn't sound like any classic progressive group, we'd say. It has good fuzz guitar work, nice synths, even some piano and some pop hints. A very nice album that finally gets its CD reissue, for the first time."


Artist: AMIGOS DE MARIA
Title: Rock
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 010CD
"As the title says, this album really rocks! Absolutely incredible Chilean group who recorded this amazing album in 1968, though it wasn't released until 1973. The finest and purest garagey psychedelia you could have ever imagined, this record has it all. Opening 10 min track 'Vuelve a Comenzar' has wild, pounding drums, great aggressive guitar riffs plus weird and demented vocals. What a killer track! Rest of the album follows this track quite closer, including unbelievable cover versions of Box Top's 'The Letter' or Ray Charles' 'What I'd Say' which are so wild that you'll hardly recognise them. We're not talking about lo-fi mid-'60s garage sound, this is top-level, perfectly produced garagey psychedelia. Definitely one of the best South American albums from the psych era. Two tracks sung in Spanish, rest in English. First time on CD."


Artist: DRNWYN
Title: Gypsies in the Mist
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 011CD
"First time ever reissue of the hard-to-find sole album by U.S. duo, Drnwyn. Wonderful record that has some very cool psychedelic moments (especially the track 'The Madman and the Angel'), and a good number of fabulous folk rock midtempos. There are drums, bass and lots of acoustic guitars in here, but also electric leads, keys, mandolin and multi-part vocals with some female chorus as well. But most important, very well-crafted songs from start to finish. This was a private release back in 1978, and a very recommended album for those into folk-psych and folk-rock."


Artist: YVES TOURBIN, JEAN
Title: Gayan
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 012CD
"Rare and unknown album by this French artist, only released in Denmark. A must for anyone interested in progressive folk, the quality of the songs on this album nearly reaches perfection. There's no drums on it, only some percussion, bongos, acoustic and electric guitars, flutes, bass... sung in French, and with some Eastern influences... a real killer of an album, released in 1981 with a real mid '70s sound, no hype!"


Artist: TRAINER, PHIL
Title: Phil Trainer
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 015CD
"Phil Trainer was an American folk-rock singer-songwriter. He released his first album when in the UK, with backing by members of UK folk group, Trees. It was originally released in 1972 and it is rated as a world classic of the genre by many. Some good fiddle, piano, electric guitar... now finally on CD, and has a booklet with lyrics."


Artist: GEYSIR
Title: Geysir
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 016CD
"Actually a North American group based in Iceland, Geysir released this, their only album, in 1974 and it was released in Iceland only on the Hljómplötur label. It is regarded as a masterpiece of psychedelic progressive folk-rock and a very sought-after item in its original format. Nothing is known about the band other than being Americans... definitely an album to own!"
