Reissue, originally released in 1971. Powerful and melodic hard-rock by this US power-trio: ultra-loud Quilter amps, killer leads, fuzz bass, furious drumming and vocals. Recorded at the legendary Sonobeat Studios in Austin (home of Mariani) and originally released in 1971 as a private demo album, now impossible to find. Originally formed in California in the late '60s, Wildfire consisted of Randy Love (guitar, vocals), Danny Jamison (bassm lead vocals), and Donny Martin (drums). Famous for powerful live shows, they packed the clubs with lines around the block of fans waiting to enter, becoming the house band for Finnegan's Rainbow and the favorite group of The Hessians Motorcycle Club, who became the unofficial guardians of the band. Soon, they got in touch with Pat Quilter from Quilter amps. Tired of blowing up amps when playing, Randy told Pat to design an amp that couldn't blow up. And he did it. Following Wildfire's input, Pat designed for the band the famous "Master Volume Dial" amp. In 1969, a Texas promoter heard the band in Southern California and brought them to Austin, becoming an instant hit locally in the Austin area. While in Texas, Wildfire shared the stage with Freddie King, the Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, and ZZ Top. It was in Austin that the eight-song demo was cut at Sonobeat Records (home also of Mariani and Cold Sun), released in 1970 as a private pressing housed in a plain white cover with a Wildfire sticker, each one numbered. The demo album was never sold other than at a small record store in Southern California and it's now one the rarest hard-rock albums from the US. First bootlegged in the '90s and then officially reissued by Shadoks in 2006, here's a welcomed new vinyl edition. Master tape sound; includes booklet with liner notes and photos.

Local Philly legends the American Dream was a late '60s band (featuring musician/actor Nick Jameson, later of Foghat) who were regulars at clubs like the Electric Circus and offered a cool mix of psych, hard rock, and proto-power pop. They were signed to Ampex/Bearsville Records, releasing their only album in 1970, produced by Todd Rundgren (his first production work). Now, for the first time on vinyl and straight from the original masters, Guerssen present their previously unreleased studio demos from 1969 -- also produced by Todd Rundgren -- that landed the band their deal with Ampex. Music is great psych-rock with superb vocal harmonies and hard guitars. Also included are two rare tracks from their unfinished 1970 second LP plus the killer garage-jangle classic "Big Brother", originally recorded by pre-American Dream band, The Finestuff, in 1967, as a bonus. RIYL: The Nazz, Who, Badfinger, Moby Grape, Byrds, Big Star, Beatles, CSNY. Hard cardboard sleeve; insert with liner notes and photos/memorabilia; download card.

Born out from the ashes of legendary Florida garage band The Tropics (of "As Time's Gone" fame), Bacchus was a powerful psychedelic/hard-rock/boogie power trio influenced by Cream, Hendrix, Allman Brothers, et al. They only released four rare 45s, collected here for the first time. When Eric Turner (guitarist, vocalist and songwriter), grew into a more progressive form of rock music after a split from The Tropics, he teamed up with fellow Tropics bass player Charlie Souza and drummer Bill Peterson: Bacchus (named after the Roman God of wine) was born. In 1970, they opened for Cactus and Free and after the good response, they recorded their first 45, the fab hard-rock sounding "Carry My Load". From there they went on tour with Grand Funk Railroad around the state. After more 45 releases, Bacchus was also the opening act for Lynyrd Skynyrd, BB King, The Outlaws, Redbone, Edgar Winter, and Ted Nugent. They also had the privilege to open a Florida concert for Mahavishnu Orchestra and appeared on the free stage at the Atlanta Pop Festival, just before Grand Funk Railroad on the main stage. Famous also in the recent years for appearing on one the famous Brown Acid volumes, a compilation of their complete output was long overdue. Insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby) and rare photos. Remastered by Tony Reed at HeavyHead Recording Co. Includes digital download card.

Unissued recordings by this very loud power trio from San Francisco, modeled after Cream, Blue Cheer, or The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Including their fantastic studio demo from 1968 plus raw and wild live tracks from 1969. Boogie (or The Boogie) was probably the first hard-blues/proto-metal group that emerged from the San Francisco scene. This power-trio was formed by Barry "The Bee" Bastian (Canned Heat, Lee Michaels...) on guitar/vocals; John Barrett (The Rhythm Dukes) on bass, and Fuzzy John Oxendine (Roky Erickson & The Aliens, Jerry Miller Band...) on drums. Comrades of Moby Grape (who even let Boogie use their rehearsal space) and the Sons Of Champlin, they played at all the legendary venues (The Ark, Avalon, Fillmore...) sharing stage with bands like Buffalo Springfield, Quicksilver, Ace Of Cups, Flamin' Groovies, or Country Joe & The Fish. Their explosive show at the Sky River Rock Festival (August, 1968, the first outdoor multi-band Rock Festival held in the United States) to an audience of 150,000 people, is still remembered today. Sadly, their convulsed story, which includes undercover narcs and marijuana busts, left them with no record deal. But a studio demo -- recorded in 1968 at Pacific High Recorders -- including three tracks, "In Freak Town", "To Me" and a terrific, fuzzed out seven-minute-long cover of "Wade In The Water", plus some live recordings from 1969, survived. Previously available only as part of a private CD released by Barry Bastian, here's the first ever vinyl release. Hard cardboard sleeve; insert with rare photos and detailed liner notes by San Fran rock historian Bruno Ceriotti; includes download card with the full album plus three bonus tracks. "Arguably the greatest San Francisco's rock n' roll band of the '60s who never released anything" --Bruno Ceriotti.

'70s Chicago-area based band Apocalypse used their double-neck guitars to create chamber prog suites about faraway castles. Their lost 1976 LP (used as a demo), with male/female harmonies, violin, mellotron, and fuzzed-out guitars/keys has been unearthed by Steve "Plastic Crimewave" Krakow. With their lengthy and tuneful musical odysseys, Apocalypse conjures the golden mid-70s progressive period of Renaissance, Soft Machine, ELP, Gentle Giant, and Genesis. Travel back in time with the Salvatori family. Way back to 1976, when he was in high school, Tom Salvatori teamed up with older brother Michael Salvatori, Michael's wife Gail Salvatori and Tom's classmate Scott Magnesen. As Apocalypse they recorded an album of pure progressive rock magic called The Castle. Although the five-song, 38-minute demo was an amazing showcase for their collective progressive rock leanings, The Castle remained an unreleased artifact until 2021 when the reel-to-reel master tape of the presumably long-lost relic was rediscovered by Michael in a dusty old basement storage bin. Music fans can be thankful that Michael's rediscovery of the Apocalypse master tape has now led to a vinyl-only reissue of The Castle. Sourced from the original masters. Insert with photos and liner notes by Plastic Crimewave. Artwork by Sara Gossett.

First ever legit vinyl reissue, sanctioned by the band members, of this collectable psych/folk/hard-rock album from 1973. Brigg were a rural Pennsylvania folk-tinged psychedelic band formed by three high school friends: Rob Morse, Jeff Willoughby, and Rusty Foulke. In 1973, they borrowed the money to record their first album together. They called it Brigg after one member saw the name in a dream. It was recorded at a grocery store converted into a 4-track studio. The photos for the cover were taken in a purportedly haunted house in Danville. The band members pressed 1000 copies and sold some to their friends but never played a live show together. They divided the remaining copies between them and went their separate ways. Several decades later, the Brigg album became a collector's item and was bootlegged all over the world. Original artwork in heavy cardboard sleeve; Insert with liner notes and photos. "A mix of basement hardrock and rural hippie prog-folk" --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives).

2021 repress in hard cardboard sleeve; OBI; resealable outer sleeve. Out-Sider present a reissue of Stone Harbour's Emerges, originally released in 1974. The absolute king of lo-fi basement psychedelia, originally released as a private pressing in 1974 by this duo from Ohio. From dreamy melancholic tracks to insane fuzzed-out heavy psych ones. Remastered sound; insert with photos and liner notes by band member Ric Ballas; digital download coupon.
"... It's 1974, you're young and have a head full of Hawkwind and Roky and the Elevators, old brutalist blues in the Hound Dog Taylor/Fred McDowell backwoods whisky-fucked mode, freak folk and LSD; you're stuck in Hicksville, USA -- that's Youngstown, Ohio to you lot; the music scene sucks; glam's dead or dying slowly; punk a good year or so from even starting to get itself born. Town's too damn small to even muster up a band in. It's just and your buddy and that's it, man. So you grows your hair and wear satin, wander wide-eyed and tripping across small town railway tracks and hang loose at the weekend in your basement. You gather a bunch if cheapo instruments on the never-never and you start cutting low-fi bedroom demos... Stone Harbour were Ric Ballas (electric, acoustic and slide guitars; organ; piano; synthesizers; bass guitar, percussion, voice) and Dave McCarty (lead vocals, drums, and percussion), and out of nowhere and nothing, at entirely the wrong time, they cut an LP that will blow your head clean off. This is a trip into the true dark heart of psychedelia . . . Dave McCarty's vocals emerge from some subterranean cave and the keyboards flicker, flicker, flash across the periphery of the song; 'Rock & Roll Puzzle' is dark, twisted fried garage punk blues brutality in the same mold as 'White Faces' or 'Cold Night For Alligators', pre-empting The Gories and Pussy Galore by a good ten years!! . . . Songs fade in and out; finger-picking blurs into screaming squelching synths; guitars melt in the mid-summer heat. 'Grains Of Sand' frazzles like The Stooges through a fucked-up amp and filtered through a transistor radio with the valves burning out. 'Thanitos' is the freak-out ending of 'Julia's Dream' lost in suburban downtown US of A with the taillights cutting on the freeway... whilst 'Summer Magic Is Gone' is the most haunted, haunting song I've heard in many a long strange moon . . . Best record I've heard all year." --Hugh Dellar (Shindig!)

Out-Sider present the first official vinyl reissue of The Peppermint Trolley Company's self-titled album, originally released in 1968. Classic US '68 psychedelic/sunshine/baroque pop with great studio production, inventive arrangements, nice vocal harmonies, harpsichord, occasional fuzz guitar -- including their superb rendition of the soft-pop anthem "Trust" by Roger Nichols plus "Beautiful Sun", "Reflections", "Fatal Fallacy". The Peppermint Trolley Company was an exciting and unique '60s band from California that recorded several singles and an LP, The Peppermint Trolley Company, which has become a cult classic among psych-pop fans. The band members hailed from Redlands, California, and were: Danny Faragher, Jimmy Faragher, Greg Tornquist, Casey Cunningham, and, for a time, Patrick McClure. Influenced by bands like Beach Boys, Left Banke, psych-era Beatles and Stones as well as the heavier psychedelic sounds of the Doors or Jefferson Airplane, their music was an exciting mix of baroque-rock, sunshine pop and psychedelia, featuring delicate vocals harmonies and deep lyrics. Released in September of 1968, their self-titled album offers gentle folk rock ("I've Got To Be Going"); psych rock ("Beautiful Sun"); baroque pop ("Pat's Song", "Reflections") and more surprises, closing with their multiple-movement masterpiece, the anti-war "Fatal Fallacy". Despite the good reviews and the album's obvious merits, it never entered the charts but did sell well in many markets. RIYL: Left Banke, Beach Boys, Roger Nichols & Small Circle Of Friends, Doors, Yellow Balloon. Insert with detailed liner notes and photos/memorabilia.

Psychedelic hard-rock/heavy blues with loud fuzz-wah guitar and powerful drumming by this power-trio from Arizona, originally released in 1969. Bliss was born from the ashes of garage band The Sect. Legendary radio DJ and producer Hadley "Who Loves You Madley" (the first black disc jockey from Arizona) took them under his wing and produced some recordings. By the end of 1968, the five members of The Sect graduated and decided to break up. Soon, they reformed as a trio with Martin (bass), Reed (guitar), and Aldred (drums). Reed came up with a new name, Bliss, which not only reflected his spiritual interest but it was also more in vain with the new psychedelic sounds of artists like Cream, Blue Cheer, or Hendrix. Under Murrell's guidance, the trio recorded a full album, released on L.A.-based Canyon Records in 1969. Canyon, home to artists like Doris Duke or Swamp Dogg, was a label more focused on R&B, soul and funk than psychedelia so, not surprisingly, the album slipped through the cracks. It wasn't until a couple of decades later that Bliss was re-discovered by psych collectors, who were attracted to the album's heavy and bluesy psychedelic sound, highlighted by Reed's hard fuzz-wah guitar and Aldred's powerful drumming. The album offers a mix of great self-penned tracks (including two by Murrell) such as "Visions", "Ride The Ship Of Fools" and "Cry Of Love" -- which bears a striking resemblance to The Zombies "Time Of The Season" -- plus a few covers (Joe Tex, B.B. King, Johnny Guitar Watson). RIYL: Cream, Stack, Banchee, Hendrix, Grand Funk, Jeff Beck Group. Newly remastered sound. Heavy cardboard sleeve and insert with liner notes.

2022 repress forthcoming in Oct. Out-Sider present a reissue of Christopher's self-titled album, originally released in 1970. The only fully-authorized vinyl reissue of Christopher in the current market. Christopher were an underground acid rock trio featuring future Josefus drummer, Doug Tull. They evolved from United Gas, a psychedelic band from Houston who rubbed shoulders with legends like The 13th Floor Elevators and Moving Sidewalks. After relocating to Los Angeles -- where they changed his name to Christopher -- they played at numerous biker parties and recorded their sole album in 1970 for the Metromedia label. It's an amazing example of West Coast psychedelia/acid-rock featuring strong fuzz-wah guitar, great compositions and superb musicianship. It was housed in a terrific cover depicting the band at the same hippie crash-pad where some scenes from the The Trip movie was filmed. One of the holy grails of American psychedelic-rock and the rarest album originally released by the collectable Metromedia label. Remastered sound. Original artwork. Includes insert with liner notes. "One of the better LPs in the crowded sub-genre of proto-heavy west coast hippie rock, with mid-period Airplane and Cream the obvious influences. The lyrics are memorable strange" --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives). "A great 'lost' album from the USA underground, one that grows and grows with repeated listens. Lots of vibrato guitar riffs and creepy vocals a la Frumious Bandersnatch or Framework" --Clark Faville. Hard cardboard sleeve; obi.

Famous for their freaked-out ride down "Tobbaco Road" (included on the now legendary A Fistful Of Fuzz comp), Peabody Co. were a mysterious US band who left behind a set of 10" acetates, collected here for the first time. Late '60s acid-punk/garage-psych, featuring seven self-penned songs plus three terrific cover versions of "I Can't Explain" (The Who), "Let's Live For Today" (Rokes/Grass Roots) and the aforementioned "Tobbaco Road" (based on the Blues Magoos cover, but including an extended crazed theremin/drum freak out!) RIYL: The Bachs, Blues Magoos, Mystery Meat. Carefully remastered sound by Tim Warren.
NYC psych collector Mike Ascherman recalls how he came to acquire the acetates: "Pyramid Records was a classic small used record store that opened in 1982 or 1983 and was open for about ten years. It was a gold mine for psych and private press LPs in a time when there was virtually no competition in the city for those. On the day it opened, psych collector/dealer Paul Major walked in and found a copy of Gandalf the Grey. That was but the tip of the iceberg. Not long after, I made my first trip there one day after work, and it immediately became my favorite store. Over the years, I became friends with both owners. As a result, I was often given the opportunity to see the new psych arrivals before they were placed in the bins in addition to my usual digging through the store. This led to me being able to buy the first known copies of such gems as Daybreak on RPC and the first BLO LP. One day in 1990, I came into the store and was shown a set of 10" acetates that one of the owners had just unearthed in one of his well-guarded secret digging spots. He asked me if I'd ever heard of a band called Peabody Co., to which I replied I had not. He then played their cover of 'Tobacco Road' and I was instantly hooked. He then offered the set to me at a moderately hefty but very reasonable price. It took me about two seconds to hand him the cash. The rest is, as they say, history, leading up to now, when they are finally being given the LP release they should have had over 50 years ago."

One Of Hours' When You Hear The Music, It's Yours is cool, late '60s US-Pepperish psychedelia with inventive arrangements, fuzz guitars, and studio effects. Recorded in 1967-68 but shelved at the time, the group is famous for their "Psychedelic Illusion" 45. US garage-psych band One Of Hours formed in Lexington, KY, in 1966. After adding guitar player Bob Willcutt to their line-up, they released their second 45, "Feel the Pain"/"Psychedelic Illusion", in 1967. Work then began on an album of a complete but varied musical experience called When You Hear The Music, It's Yours. Fueled by the creative force of band member Shawn Foreman (a true visionary who would create the cult electro/disco project Transistor-Jet in the '80s), the group (now called Dandelion Wine) entered Chetwyd Studios where they, in true psychedelic mode, experimented and used unusual techniques like backwards recording, paper under piano strings, singing through a comb, interconnecting Fuzz boxes, etc. The finished master tape containing 12 songs with titles like "Two Heads For 35 Cents", "Sweet Dragonfly" or "Incense C-19X" was sent to the Liberty label with the promise of an album contract for 1968, but the deal never came through and the master tape was destroyed in a warehouse fire. Luckily, Willcutt kept a first generation copy of the master with perfect sound which is presented here. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

Fueled by the creative force of band member Shawn Foreman (a true visionary who would create the cult electro/disco project Transistor-Jet in the '80s), the group (now called Dandelion Wine) entered Chetwyd Studios where they, in true psychedelic mode, experimented and used unusual techniques like backwards recording, paper under piano strings, singing through a comb, interconnecting Fuzz boxes, etc. The finished master tape containing 12 songs with titles like "Two Heads For 35 Cents", "Sweet Dragonfly" or "Incense C-19X" was sent to the Liberty label with the promise of an album contract for 1968, but the deal never came through and the master tape was destroyed in a warehouse fire. Luckily, Willcutt kept a first generation copy of the master with perfect sound which is presented here. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

Out-Sider present the first ever reissue Hasting's Street Opera's Slippery When Wet, a US private pressing from 1969 unknown until now. Underground, psychedelic, electric jazz-rock/improv sound with mellow folk-rock moves and homemade/basement atmosphere. Mostly instrumental with some cut-up vocal sounds and effects. A mix of self-penned songs and amazing cover versions of classics like "Summertime", "Scarborough Fair", or "A Taste Of Honey" turned into hip, extended jams not so far away from the sound of the pioneering psychedelic ballroom bands from San Francisco. Electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, flute... Recommended if you like similar private psych-jazz obscurities like Elysian Spring. Named after an old Detroit blues LP, Hasting's Street Opera was formed in Montclair, New Jersey by a group of young friends (Harry Wellott, Gordon Carlisle, Don Hathaway, and Chris Nelson) influenced by blues, rock, jazz, and the eclectic sounds emanating from freeform/underground FM radio stations: Blues Project, Butterfield Blues Band, Miles Davies, Pharaoh Sanders, Jethro Tull... Initially born as a blues band, HSO eventually evolved into a true improvisation collective unit. Slippery When Wet was recorded in 1969 at Don's house using a portable recorder operated by their math teacher, the famous old-time music preserver Charles Faurot. It was a vanity pressing of less than 100 copies, housed in hand-made covers which were distributed among friends and family. For this, the first ever reissue, original band member and visual artist Gordon Carlisle has designed a new vintage-styled cover based on old photos of the band. Includes insert with liner notes by the band members and photos; Includes download card.
