In 1971, following the departure of his bandmate Jerry Cole, bassist Alan Henderson joined forces with U.S. guitarist Jim Parker and drummer John Stark to make this lost power trio classic -- the last to be issued under the legendary Them moniker. It opens with a searing medley of the Them classics "Gloria" and "Baby Please Don't Go," boasting superb interplay and savage psychedelic guitar throughout. Elsewhere, Stark and Parker flex their songwriting muscles on a series of powerful compositions, and even an acid-folk number. Like its equally-overlooked predecessor, this lost classic is guaranteed to find favor with fans of top-end garage rock.

Packed with catchy, imaginative songs and elaborate arrangements, the sole album by this New York quintet is among the more enduring obscurities of the psychedelic era. It sank without trace on original release in May 1969, but has drawn comparison with the work of The Beatles, The Zombies and The Left Banke in recent years. Digitally remastered. Features the complete original artwork.

180 gram vinyl version. Formed in March 1972 by former Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Noel Redding, in the aftermath of a debilitating fall at Frank Zappa's home, this short-lived power trio also featured former Rare Earth guitarist Rod Richards and Redding's Fat Mattress bandmate Leslie Sampson on drums. Their sole album is a crunching hard rock collection that was praised on release that July -- but the band split soon afterwards, making it a lost piece of the jigsaw for Hendrix fans, and a must-hear for all lovers of proto-metal. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Originally released in 1967, now available for the first time ever. Produced by Nik Venet. Digitally remastered. "This instrumental album weaves jazzy sections in and out of themes from The Wizard of Oz, with sitar, strings, flute, trumpet, bongos and classical and electric guitars ... Good fun, and could only have been made when it was." --Endless Trip

Formerly known as Eyrie, this Long Island quintet recorded their sole album in September 1971, but split soon after its January 1972 release as a result of management hassles. An outstanding, complex blend of hard rock and prog, with Mellotron and flute adorning the band's guitar base, it has been compared to the work of artists as diverse as The Moody Blues, Hawkwind and Group 1850, and makes its long-awaited return to CD here.

Recorded in the summer of 1967, at the height of The Outsiders' Dutch popularity, this unconventional solo album finds Wally Tax abandoning raw rock and roll for a lush, romantic set of ballads. Only released in Holland and Germany at the time, it has gone on to become a considerable rarity. Digitally remastered and complete with background notes.

Mario Schifano was a leading Italian pop artist, and a friend of The Rolling Stones and other prominent 1960s countercultural figures. Inspired by Andy Warhol's association with The Velvet Underground, in 1967 he decided to sponsor a band. The album that resulted combines a lengthy improvisation with five shorter, psychedelic-influenced tracks, and is a landmark in the development of Italian rock. Pressed in tiny quantities, it was released in November 1967 (with artwork designed by Schifano), and original copies have sold for thousands of Euros, making this long-awaited CD reissue especially welcome. Includes background notes.
