Not the British pub rockers! This Doctor Feelgood is a completely different band -- American, obscure, and far more experimental. Their 1971 album Something to Take Up Time is a wild mix of prog rock, free jazz, blues, and psychedelia, packed with flute and sax solos in the spirit of early Jethro Tull, Gravy Train, and Aynsley Dunbar. Formed by ex-members of Teddy and the Pandas and The Sensations, the band only lasted a few years, but left behind this cult gem -- full of complex arrangements and standout performances, especially from sax/flute wizard Dick Winters, who often played two horns at once. Underrated, unique, and highly recommended.

RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025
Formed in 1969 and closely tied to the Mountain camp, this powerful New York quintet was part of the same hard rock vanguard that defined the early '70s. Sharing stages with heavyweights like Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Ten Years After, and the Faces, they built a solid live reputation, yet widespread recognition always seemed just out of reach. Their lone, self-titled album -- released in September 1970 -- is a hidden gem of the era: raw, bluesy, and full of proto-metal fire. Though it never cracked the charts, it stands today as a lost classic of American heavy rock, now rightfully rediscovered by crate diggers and rock historians alike.

Originally emerging from the Ohio garage scene as Jerry and the Others, The Elders released their sole album in 1971 -- a surprising mix of soul-infused rock, funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and psych flourishes. Despite the ominous skull-and-book cover art, this isn't heavy Sabbath-style riffing, but rather a vibrant, danceable sound closer to Sly & The Family Stone, Rare Earth, and early Hendrix. Rooted more in the late '60s than the early '70s, their groove-heavy, genre-blending approach feels both raw and infectious. A true sleeper gem worth digging up.

From the whirlwind year of 1971 comes the sole album by Plum Nelly, an underrated gem in the world of U.S. progressive hard rock. Deceptive Lines is a masterclass in complex arrangements, jazzy touches, and searing proto-metal guitar riffs, drawing comparisons to legends like The Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, and Black Sabbath. The album seamlessly blends heartfelt ballads with hard-hitting psych epics and electrifying guitar-driven jams. Despite the band's undeniable talent -- these young New Yorkers were barely out of their teens -- poor promotion left this record flying under the radar upon its original release. But this reissue is here to change that, giving Deceptive Lines the spotlight it deserves and ensuring this hard rock classic is no longer a hidden treasure.

Formed in Tokyo in 1969, Blues Creation made their mark with this ultra-rare debut album, a raw and electrifying set of American blues covers. Featuring tracks originally by Sonny Boy Williamson, Chester Burnett, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, and others, it stands as the finest testament to Japan's deep-rooted love for the blues. The band went on to release several more records before evolving into Creation, but nothing quite captured the pure blues-rock intensity of their first outing.

UK reggae band the Cimarons backed many visiting Jamaican artists in the 1970s, including the Wailers and Jimmy Cliff, and recorded as session players for British producers. A tour of Japan with the Pioneers in 1975 led to this unprecedented collaboration with guitarist/vocalist Toshikatsu Uchiumi of rock band the Carol for a curious mix of reggae, rock and blues, with Uchiumi singing in Japanese on most tracks and adding lead guitar licks in places. Produced by Sidney Crooks, Cimarons fans need this one-off wonder to fully appreciate their innovation and the album will also appeal to fans of mid-'70s Japanese rock. A great listen!

Norwegian rock trio Crossbreeze's self-titled LP is one of the rarest of all beasts to emerge from the Scandinavian rock scene of the 1970s. Pressed in minute quantities on Experience, the label and studio founded by engineer/guitarist Nils Johan Øybakken in the small northern town of Mosjøen, Crossbreeze moves between acid rock and prog-y folk-influenced rock, Terje Nilsen's fuzz guitar and Walter Albriktsen's Moog bleeps adding shades of psychedelic space-rock. Crossbreeze disbanded after this impossibly rare group effort, and now that the album is finally available again, grab a copy of this must-have killer while you can!

One of the best-known African musicians of all time, the renowned Malian singer and guitarist Ali Farka Toure was one of the pioneers of African desert blues. Born to a noble caste, he was forbidden to play music but wound up representing Mali in the early 1960s on an international contest held in Bulgaria, where he bought his first guitar and was exposed to the music of John Lee Hooker, which became a big influence. This self-titled classic was recorded for Radio Mali in 1977 and captures Toure at his magnificent best, with just his guitar for accompaniment, and an unusual violin on both "Yer Mali Wolo" and "Remobe."

During the mid-1970s, Jorge Ben could do no wrong. Known as the father of samba rock, Ben gained an international audience with an infectious singing style marked by bright optimism and funny satire; A Tábua de Esmeralda deviated from the script by delving into the alchemy of the Middle Ages, as well as the second coming of Jesus, but the production is so nuanced and his voice so agreeable that the album was a surefire hit, and Ben manages to squeeze in some groovy numbers saluting womanhood, and slave leader Zumbi dos Palmares. The result is a must-have Jorge Ben gem that has stood the test of time, and then some!

Another side of Serge Gainsbourg permeates this 1963 film soundtrack about "a stripper lost in the nocturnal world" of Paris, according to director Jacques Poitrenaud, who cast Nico in the lead role (after her appearance in La Dolce Vita and just prior to the single she cut with Jimmy Page for Andrew Loog Oldham). Created by Gainsbourg with arranger and longstanding collaborator Alain Gourager, the music is fittingly the cool jazz of dingy nightclubs and seedy bordellos, with Gainsbourg on piano, and there's the sultry title track, delivered breathlessly by Juliette Greco. Another lost gem for all serious Gainsbourg fans.

Formed in Montreal, eight-piece funk band Cane and Abel melded Caribbean elements with soul, blues and psych, frontman Frenchie Thompson holding plenty of bite and the full horn section including former Dragonaires trumpeter Norris Ridguard. After early singles on GRT, the group signed to Epic and relocated to the US but made their biggest splash in France, where they cut two LPs in 1972; this self-titled rarity has Thompson's "Girl You Move Me," percussionist Blinky Bostic's "Who's Gonna Take The Weight," and likeable takes of Wilson Picket's "Don't Knock My Love," "Green Grass," and "Toe Hold." A lost funk classic!

Togo's most celebrated vocalist, Bella Bellow, first achieved international attention in 1966, when she represented her country at the first World Festival of Negro Arts in Dakar, which caught the attention of the pioneering Paris-based Togolese musician/producer Gerard Akueson, who sought to market her as the next Miriam Makeba. Album Souvenir compiled singles cut for Akueson between 1968-71, including "Nye Dzi," "Zelie," and "Bem Bem," all marked by the slick production values that aimed for international audiences, rather than the grassroots African niche. Tune in and understand the iconic Bellow's commanding appeal!

Improvisational sax giant Ornette Coleman was one of the principal founders of free jazz. Recorded in Copenhagen on 30 November 1965, Live at the Tivoli finds an unfettered Coleman blowing fiery peaks as drummer Charles Moffett and bassist David Izenzon provide an inobtrusive backing, Moffett locking into the groove on "Lonely Woman" and Izenzon offering a meandering melody on "Clergyman's Dream." Moffett's fine solo shows what he's made of on "Sadness," and on "Falling Stars," Coleman wreaks havoc on violin before blowing blue shades on the trumpet. Another excellent Ornette Coleman listening experience!

Laxmichand "Babla" Shah began his career and a drummer and percussionist on Bollywood soundtracks composed by his older brothers Kalyanji V. Shah and Anandji V. Shah, and then made history through Babla's Disco Sensation, the adventurous disco and synth-pop recasting of popular film hits released by Polydor in the late 1970s. This rare beast kicked off the "Disco Dandia" craze and is a total killer from start to finish, the sitar funk grooves and eastern melodies clashing with all kinds of Moog madness. It's a crate-diggers special that was sampled by Metro Area and others -- grab your copy now and play loud for best effect!

Recorded in Paris in December 1978, Broken Wing is beautiful proof that Chet Baker's playing remained undiminished in the face of ongoing personal challenges. There is wonderful musical chemistry between Baker and his ensemble members throughout this excellent and rare LP, namely pianist Phil Markowitz, bassist Jean-François Jenny-Clark, and drummer Jeff Brillinger, yielding exceptional versions of Richie Beirach's title track and Wayne Shorter's "Black Eyes," as well as Baker's "Blue Gilles"; he's on top form on the trumpet and tackles the vocal of "Oh You Crazy Moon" with gracefulness. Another great offering from Chet!

Penelope Spheeris' cult film Suburbia sought to capture the teenage angst, alienation and soul-searching of the Los Angeles punk scene, the long-sought soundtrack a big part of its appeal. The live side features TSOL at their melodic best, with "Wash Away" and "Darker My Love" reminding of the broken hearts and damaged minds beneath the mosh pits, contrasted by the Vandals' raucous "Legend Of Pat Brown," while D.I.'s "Richard Hung Himself" is a one-away ode of self-destruction; the other side has Alex Gibson's evocative film score, the edgy instrumentals capturing the on-screen estrangement. True grit and required listening!

Starting out as the Masterettes, a girl group formed by high school friends Brenda Reid, Carol Johnson, Lillian Walker, and Sylvia Wilbur, the group switched focus and changed name after Wilbur was replaced by Brenda Reid's husband, Herb Rooney, their breakthrough hit Tell Him appearing in 1963 after Leiber & Stoller took charge. 1971's Black Beauty, produced by Rooney, continued the post-L&S journey via the group's own take of funky and melodic soul, approaching the style of the Staples Singers with plenty of emotive harmonies. If you like your soul switched on, hard-hitting and individual, you need Black Beauty in your collection.

2025 repress. London-based psychedelic folk quartet Kaleidoscope formed as the Sidekicks in 1964, changing their name to the Key the following year. By the time they signed Fontana for the 1967 debut album Tangerine Dream, their choral pop harmonies were stronger and the musicianship more accomplished, the distinctly English folk undercurrents more pronounced. A favorite of Spaceman 3 and other connoisseurs of neglected psych, originals of this rare gem now change hands at extortionate prices and the work has aged like a vintage wine, the unjustly overlooked classic now rightly feted.

During the late 1960s, when guitarist Scipio Sargeant left his native Trinidad for New York, he hooked up with another Trinidadian guitarist, Bert Bailey, for a psychedelic rock project, with Sargeant relegated to bass, Bert's brother Herb on drum duties, fellow Trinidadian Lou Phillips as frontman, and African American keyboardist Earl Arthur on prog-like organ. Impacting the club circuit, they were nearly signed by Columbia, but wound up cutting their sole LP for Calla in one brief afternoon. The result is a hard-rocking trippy set with echoes of the Chambers Brothers, Hendrix, and Sly Stone. A lost classic, ripe for rediscovery.

This album, produced by the Tokyo-based band, encapsulates a transformative moment in the nation's counterculture movement and its contribution to the global evolution of psychedelic music. With intricate guitar work, haunting vocals, and experimental compositions, the album remains an enduring influence in the global psychedelic music landscape. An all-time Japanese psych classic from 1969 finally back on pink vinyl.

Formed in 1978 in Derry, a Republican city in Northern Ireland, power-pop-punk trio the Moondogs mixed the energy of the Clash with the melodic bent of the Beatles. Gigs with the Undertones led to a 45 for Good Vibrations, plus a few more for Real Records, and by the time they cut debut LP That's What Friends Are For in New York with Todd Rundgren for Sire, they were at their most accomplished; somehow, the band split mid-way through its creation, rendering the album a frozen moment in time, rather than a leg-up to world domination. A great listen and another missing piece of Northern Ireland's punk puzzle.

2024 limited restock. Pioneering Latino punk band The Plugz formed in Los Angeles in 1977 with frontman Tito Larriva, drummer Chalo Quintana and bassist Barry McBride. After debut album Electrify Me, sophomore set Better Luck saw McBride replaced by John Curry of The Flyboys; now with better mastery of their instruments, Larriva and Chalo steered the sound into new wave stylings, aided and abetted by guest horns, harmonica, and keyboards. Yet, the band was still a critical force pushing against societal inequalities, as heard on the caustic "American," and "El Clavo Y La Cruz" reminded that the core of the group was 100% Latino. A great LP!

2024 repress. After a debut single in 1977, forward-thinking Edinburgh punk band The Rezillos signed to Sire, leading the band to record their acclaimed debut Can't Stand the Rezillos in New York, where co-produced Bob Clearmountain drew out the best of their abilities. The anthemic "Top of the Pops" reached the UK top-20 and spirited punk covers of The Dave Clark Five's "Glad All Over," Gerry & The Pacemakers' "I Like It," and Fleetwood Mac's "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight" added to the appeal. The band would soon split and reform as The Revillos, but nothing beats the power of this unmatched debut LP. Four bonus tracks included, great stuff!

Reissue, originally released in 2017. Like its mouthful of a title, Polygondwanaland delivers a ten-course meal without dividers between its dishes. Songs seep into one another for an immersive listen. The stirring, quiet percussion of "Inner Cell" tiptoes into "Loyalty" for a slow buildup, before it splashes into the punctuated vocals of "Horology," a sea of guitar tapping and rich, warm woodwinds. As usual, transitions are key in King Gizzard's work, but they add a smoothness to Polygondwanaland that makes it particularly digestible, so that every vocal sigh and gaudy synth acts as a complementary flavor.
