Artist:	MC5
Title:	Live at the Grande Ballroom 1968
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	GET 139CD

Along with Live at the Saginaw Civic Centre, January 1st 1970, "two of the best live performances from the band who seems to best summarize the rage and the anger of present day America: the one that collapses under Katrina, the one that does not have the money to buy decent food, the one that has suffered the death of social ethics. Despite being recorded over three decades ago, the sound of these live concerts bring the people the needed energy to rise up and say NO! to all abuses and utter the cry for a better world through pure rock'n'roll."

Artist:	TELEGRAPH AVENUE
Title:	Telegraph Avenue
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	GET 649CD

"Telegraph Avenue got their start when lead singer, Bo Ichikawa, returned home to Peru after a six-month stint in San Francisco (if you hadn't already guessed by their obvious choice of band name) and their 1971 debut album soon became the best-selling rock album of the year. Here heavy distorted guitar mixed with Latin bass and percussion meld to create a kind of south-of-the-equator Latin groove meets West Coast psych with a slightly poppier feel. All lyrics are sung in English. The band unfortunately split after the release of just one more album, but the drummer and singer would soon join up with two Argentine friends to form another great band, the South American band of the '70s, Tarkus. Don't miss your chance to discover a great album by a great band!"

GOOSEHOUND

Artist:	STEELE, ANTHONY
Title:	Sugar
Label:	GOOSEHOUND
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GHOUND 006EP

"Anthony Steele's vinyl debut, on Goosehound's sixth release. His first release is a monster summer record that will lead the listener on a journey through many different styles. Steele's understanding of crafting a groove is truly intuitive. He has a firm grasp of what makes great dance music, while also being able to uniquely engage the imagination and instill visions of new landscapes to discover. 'Sugar' begins the record with a sonic wind blowing around us, picking up force as the needle travels towards the center. Casio breakbeats keep a steady rhythm and gain complexity along with the other background sounds that start to echo in. From within the expansive sounds we can hear other elements creep in like the ringing of a mechanical bird or the melodic blast of a wandering saxophone. The track ventures along with low down bass while building towards it's almost pop-edged finale which proves quite exhilarating."

GRAPA (SPAIN)

GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)

Artist:	PERERIN
Title:	Tirion Dir
Label:	GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GUESS 011CD

"Finally the third album of Welsh folk-psych-prog legends Pererin is made available again. Quite a huge number of you already purchased our previous Pererin reissue of their second, Teithgan so you all know what to expect from this platter, but for those who didn't, let me say it's another brilliant set of traditional songs played in their very own contemporary electrified folk style. 6 & 12 string guitars, bass, mandolin, synths, mellow percussions, flute -- this might well be the folkier of all their albums, but there's still a strong progressive feel on it and some killer electric guitar leads. Another must-have for anyone into folk-prog, this is the last of the band's vinyl offerings, it was released in 1983 and was followed only by their last work that was only released on cassette. For the first time on CD format, with amazing remastered sound and with our usual outer carton slimcase. Licensed from Arfon Wyn."

Artist:	GENESIS (COLOMBIA)
Title:	Genesis
Label:	GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GUESS 012CD

"No UK, no USA, no Uruguay, but Colombia. This Genesis comes from Colombia, and we can say it's a shame they used such a common name, as their music is absolutely unique! We're very, very proud to introduce you to this amazing band that for some reason we can't understand has never had the recognition deserved. Founded by Humberto Monroy (ex-Speakers) in the very early '70s, they released a bunch of LPs, of which this is the second one. This same titled album, their second, was recorded in March 1974 and released by Famoso (a Codiscos sub-label). It's a record that is still unmatched in its field. Flutes, acoustic, electric & 12-string guitars, percussions, bass, occasional harmonica and brilliant vocals offer an unusual and charming sound in the folk, rock & psychedelic veins, but always with a wonderful Andean folk feel. Most of the tracks are written by Humberto but the more famous number included on the album, which received a lot of radio airplay in Colombia at the time, was a chilling cover of 'Como Decirte Cuanto Te Amo' by Cat Stevens. Also, the psychedelic sounding 'Don Simon' was probably their major success. Spanish language lyrics praise the beauty of the environment and contain social messages in favor of farmers, natives & lower classes people. This is the first ever reissue of such a wonderful album, and comes with a nice booklet w/linernotes and pictures, and great remastered sound."

Artist:	GENESIS (COLOMBIA)
Title:	Yakta Mama
Label:	GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GUESS 013CD

"1975, only one year after their second release and probably most successful, was the time to get the third in stores. They gave it the title of Yakta Mama. This followed the same direction as their second and you get a new amazing set of extremely well done mixes of folk, rock, psychedelia and Andinean folklore flavors. Killer stuff and no more! I can only tell you this is an obligatory purchase for anyone into folk-rock, psychedelic & ethnic rock!!! Nice release w/full color booklet with infos and pictures, remastered sound and the usual slimcase like all our releases."

HARMONIA MUNDI (FRANCE)

Artist:	STOCKHAUSEN, KARLHEINZ
Title:	Stimmung
Label:	HARMONIA MUNDI (FRANCE)
Format:	CD/SACD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	HMU 807408

Performed by Theatre of Voices, under the direction of Paul Hillier; recorded Sept. 2006. "With the 1968 Paris premi�re of his 'Stimmung,' Karlheinz Stockhausen (b. 1928) exploded the very definition of vocal performance. This musical tour de force, made up of an unbroken sequence of 51 sonic models -- entirely built on the overtones of B-flat and presented in every possible voice combination -- experiments with new compositional techniques and deconstructs the mechanics of speech and song. Paul Hillier, a champion of early and contemporary vocal repertoire, leads Theatre of Voices in his newly created 'Copenhagen Version' of a 20th-century milestone that today remains as relevant as ever. Hillier's life-long relationship with 'Stimmung' began in the 1970s when he performed it as a member of Singcircle with the composer at the controls. With its serene but highly-charged aural landscape, the work is surprisingly one of Stockhausen's most accessible compositions: spiritual yet humorous, mystical yet worldly and erotic in its poetry." Hybrid CD/SACD disc that can play on any CD player, as well as SACD players.

HEAVY ARTILLERY (UK)

HURDY GURDY BOOKS (ITALY)

Artist:	PANCIERA, MARIO
Title:	45 Revolutions (1976/1979)
Label:	HURDY GURDY BOOKS (ITALY)
Format:	Book
Price:	$125.00
Catalog #:	HURDY 001BK

First volume in a projected series of discographies dealing with the initial era of Punk Rock. When Jesus created the phrase "jaw-dropping" he surely had this book in mind, a truly Bible-esque monstrosity clocking in at just under 1200 pages. Fully annotated with descriptions and color images of every release included -- this is staggeringly detailed. Unquestionably orth the money for those interested in the vinyl documentation of this time frame. It is suggested that Volume 2 will be Worldwide Picture Sleeves from the same era. "45 Revolutions is the definitive book on punk, mod, powerpop, new wave, NWOBHM, and indie singles issued in the UK and in Ireland between late 1976 and the end of 1979. Twenty years in the making. 1173 pages. 4550 color photos. 2885 b&w photos. Details of more than 3000 singles by over 2000 artists. Available only as a superior quality hardback."
