Clear red vinyl in PVC sleeve. Limited edition 500 copies. "In 1971, jazz trumpet player Don Cherry was living in an artists' colony in Sweden (where he met his wife, Moki) and becoming deeply interested in world music, which would mark a deep shift in his music from this point onward. In spring of 1971, Cherry traveled to Paris with his avant-garde jazz trio, made up of the great South African bassist, Johnny Dyani, and Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz (who would also appear on his Organic Music Society) to perform live for an audience of French jazz fans."

Clear vinyl in PVC sleeve. Limited edition 500 copies. "American singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt released a string of classic albums in the early seventies, marking what has been called his most prolific and creative period. However, Van Zandt notoriously often had difficulty getting the right sound in studio, and his voice was often overshadowed by elaborate production work that sometimes missed the mark. Therefore, this LP, recorded at the University of Michigan's coffeehouse in 1973, is an essential addition to the Van Zandt discography because it allows listeners to hear Townes the way he was meant to be heard: playing to a few dozen college students with nothing but his acoustic guitar and his own voice. Beautiful."

White vinyl in PVC sleeve. Limited edition 500 copies. "Miles Davis' second great quintet, featuring Wayne Shorter on tenor, Herbie Hancock (age 25) on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums, is the last of Miles' true acoustic jazz bands. Formed in 1964, the legendary quintet can be heard playing at Chicago's Plugged Nickel jazz club on 22 December 1965, one of their earliest recordings. For these performances, Miles played almost no material from their studio albums, focusing instead on Miles' favorite jazz standards. However, it is precisely because he is playing the standards that listeners are able to hear just how groundbreaking this quintet was at the time. The music found here was so pioneering and influential that it still sounds new after over four decades."

Clear yellow vinyl in PVC sleeve. Limited edition 500 copies. "The night of July 21, 1976 was a star-studded and memorable one for downtown NYC music fans, as John Cale, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, David Byrne (of the Talking Heads), Allen Lanier (of Blue Oyster Cult), Mick Ronson (David Bowie), and guitar guru Chris Spedding regaled fans with a slew of Cale classics like 'Guts,' 'Buffalo Ballet,' and 'I Keep a Close Watch' as well as the Velvets' 'I'm Waiting for the Man,' and the Modern Lovers' 'Pablo Picasso' (which was produced by John Cale for the Modern Lovers' 1976 LP). And as if all this weren't already enough, recording the performance was Andy Warhol himself. Do not miss this slice of music history."

140 gram LP -- clear yellow vinyl in clear PVC sleeve (ltd. ed. 500 copies). "This valuable collection of BBC sessions, finds Kevin Ayers at the height of his career, fronting several different line-ups and playing an interesting and rare mix of material, most of which is not found on any of his studio albums. The first session, recorded in February of 1970, features an interesting version of Soft Machine's 'Why Are We Sleeping?' and the campy 'You Say You Like My Hat', backed by all members of Soft Machine, plus Elton Dean and Lol Coxhill on sax. The next two sessions, from May & June 1970, find Ayers backed by his Whole World band, featuring Mike Oldfield, and playing 'We Did It Again', from his days with Soft Machine, along with the whimsical 'Derby Day' and 'Gemini Child'. The final session features only Ayers and Archie Leggett on bass (who would also appear on Ayers' 1973 Bananamour album) playing Ayers' 1970 'Butterfly Dance' single along with the classic pop song 'Falling in Love Again'."

White vinyl in clear PVC sleeve (ltd. ed. 500 copies). "Extremely rare early recording of Fela Kuti recorded live at the 'Afro Spot' in Lagos in 1966. After several years spent in London--at first studying medicine (!), and then switching over to music at London's Trinity College--Fela returned home to Nigeria where he began training to become a radio producer. It was during this time that Fela also formed his first Nigerian band, the Koola Lobitos (featuring Tony Allen on drums & Isaan Olasugba on alto sax), and began experimenting with a new kind of music that brought together elements of jazz (with three saxophones and two trumpets) and traditional Nigerian highlife music. Fela called his new sound Afro Beat and it would soon make him a star."

140 gram LP clear vinyl in clear PVC sleeve (ltd. ed. 500 copies). "A professionally recorded live performance of Television at San Francisco's legendary Old Waldorf club in June of 1978, just two months after the release of their second LP, Adventure. Excellent sound quality and brilliant versions of tracks like 'Little Johnny Jewel', 'Marquee Moon', and 'The Dream's Dream', is what makes this LP essential listening. In fact, just about every track on this album is superior to the versions on any other known recording."

140 gram LP clear vinyl in clear PVC sleeve (ltd. ed. 500 copies). "After her legendary tenure with Fairport Convention came to an end in 1969 (during which time she was voted 'Britain's best singer'), Sandy Denny, along with Trevor Lucas (of Eclection), decided to put together a new band. In early 1970 Fotheringay, named after a FC song (and featuring the talents of Jerry Donahue and Pat Donaldson), was born. Despite rave reviews along with the release of one excellent album for Island that same year, the band quickly fell apart due to personal reasons. These BBC sessions, recorded in April and November of 1970--and featuring amazing versions of songs like 'The Sea' and 'The Ballad of Ned Kelly', from their self-titled studio album, as well as versions of songs like 'Eppie Moray' and 'John The Gun', that were works in progress at the time--are a welcome compendium to their repertoire."

"Rare early Kraftwerk, now for the first time on double vinyl LP. Recorded live at the Gondel Kino (Gondola Cinema) in Bremen, Germany on 25 June 1971 (except for 'Interzone' recorded on the TV program Beat-Club on 22 May 1971), with a rare trio line-up of Florian Schneider, Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger (soon to be of Neu!). This LP represents one of the very few recordings in existence of that brief period in Kraftwerk history after Ralf Hutter had temporarily left the band and before Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger went on to form Neu! Before morphing into the motorik juggernaut they would soon become, Kraftwerk was nothing more than Rother on guitar, Dinger on drums, and Schneider on a tricked-out flute. Just listen to 'Heavy Metal Kids' to unlock the secret door to their past." Double 140 gram clear vinyl with multicolored labels in a PVC sleeve. Limited to 500 copies.
