The Guerssen label is based in Catalonia, Spain, and has been in business since 1996. Their growing catalog is filled with reissues of some of the best psychedelic, folk and progressive titles from the late '60s to early '80s, combining well-known titles with some of the most unknown, obscure records in the worldwide scene. Baris Manço, Factory, Merrell Fankhauser (Fapardokly, HMS Bounty), Barry Dransfield, Tree People, and Dave Bixby are some of the artists represented, and there's both vinyl LP and CD versions of most of their titles.

RELEASE DATE: 4/10/2026
One of the hidden treasures of the Spanish '90s garage-revival scene, Madrid's Beat In blended beat, folk-rock, and pop, heavily influenced by bands like The Remains, Byrds, Zombies, Hollies, Kinks, and Easybeats. Songs full of melody, energy, and a true '60s spirit that never made it beyond demo tapes are now rescued and restored by Guerssen Records to celebrate the label's 30th anniversary. In the mid-'90s, Antoni, founder of Guerssen, received a cassette with demos by a Madrid band called Beat In. Despite the home-recorded sound, those songs had something special that hooked him: irresistible melodies, sparkling harmonies, and a clear connection to names like The Remains, The Byrds, and the West Coast sound. Now, Guerssen tracked down the main songwriters, Marcos de Ben and Fernando Maestú, who sent more recordings. The project slowly began to take shape, and it finally crystallized when Guerssen discovered that Jesús Sanz -- respected music tastemaker and someone Alex Carretero at Guerssen followed on social media had been the band's bassist. With Guerssen's 30th anniversary approaching, it was the perfect moment: now or never. Although Guerssen is known for rescuing psychedelic rarities from the '60s and '70s, releasing the Beat In recordings makes perfect sense. Active between 1989 and 1992 and friends with bands like Sex Museum, Los Potros (with whom they shared many influences), or Snap!, Beat In were a group deeply in love with '60s pop but with a personality of their own. In a scene dominated by raw and dirty garage sounds, they stood out for their melodic side. They left behind a good handful of home demos with memorable songs, and it's quite possible that, had they continued, they might have become one of the first bands of the Spanish indie movement.

Before releasing their now legendary debut LP, Piknik Caleidoscópico in 1986, Los Negativos recorded a four-song demo with the help of their own personal "George Martin," producer and sound engineer Enric Lindo. Recorded on four tracks, it displayed clear influences from psychedelia, garage rock, and '60s folk-rock: the Beatles, the Byrds, the Seeds -- not forgetting local bands like Los Salvajes. This early demo, released on cassette, introduced them to the underground scene of the time, even getting airplay on Radio 3's "Diario Pop" program. Now, for the first time on vinyl, you can enjoy these brilliant songs exactly as they were originally conceived.

From Barcelona, Los Negativos stood out within the 1980s sixties-revival scene thanks to their carefully crafted look, lyrics, and thrilling songs. With their first album, Piknik Caleidoscópico, originally released in 1986, they masterfully combined pop, psychedelia, garage, beat, and folk-rock, creating a distinctive lysergic universe that continues to captivate 40 years after its release. This 40th-anniversary reissue of Piknik Caleidoscópico preserves the album's original artwork but, for the first time, includes the black-and-white back cover, which is how the band originally designed it. In addition, the audio has been remastered again by the album's original producer, Enric Lindo, together with the members of Los Negativos. It also includes an eight-page trilingual booklet (Spanish, Catalan, and English) with informative notes by journalist and band's official biographer Àlex Oró, plus rare photos/memorabilia and a reproduction of the original lyrics insert.

Part-time farmer/musician Oliver Chaplin is the person behind one of the rarest private pressings from the UK. His cult masterpiece Standing Stone was recorded in early 1974 at a remote farm in Wales, using a portable 4-track Teac reel-to-reel machine. Helped by his brother Chris at the controls (an experienced BBC engineer who had worked on Syd Barrett sessions), surrounded by animals and "smaller winged creatures," Oliver sang and played acoustic and electric guitars filtered through tape echo, distortion and multi-tracking, creating a very unique sound, a kind of DIY mutant-psychedelic-blues (think Captain Beefheart) which sounded years ahead of its time. Despite the lo-fi nature of the recording, the sound quality is amazing and timeless. Only 250 copies of the album were pressed and it even caught the attention of the Virgin label, who were interested in distribution but Oliver finally refused their offer. Musicians like JJ Cale expressed interest in Oliver's music, inviting him to a jam session but in the end, Oliver decided he was not interested in the music business and left Wales to travel around Europe. He remains a kind of a mysterious figure and Guerssen now offers a new, long-awaited reissue of Standing Stone, sanctioned by the artist.

One of the more authentic '60s-styled Mod/R&B/beat acts in continental Europe during the '90s, The Jaybirds formed in Vienna strongly inspired by bands such as The Yardbirds (their name is a nod to them). Going Our Own Ways was their second album, originally released in 1998 (the same year that they supported the Rolling Stones in Vienna in front of an audience of 80,000 people!) As the title suggests, it was a statement of autonomy, emphasizing their distinctive path within the mod/sixties revival scene, blending classic R&B and freakbeat repertoire with their own material. Remastered sound. Featuring new artwork. Includes insert with liner notes, photos, and download card.

Hard psychedelic bluesy rock with heavy fuzz-wah guitar by these legends from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, the first band to perform live with a boa constrictor, before Alice Cooper. Privately pressed in 1972, Everlasting Tributes was really a collection of studio tapes recorded in 1968/1969. Born in the summer of 1965 in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, The Finchley Boys carved out their place as one of the Midwest's most electrifying and unpredictable rock bands. Starting with British Invasion covers (Yardbirds, Kinks, Animals, Stones), the group quickly moved into originals like "Only Me" and "Hooked," setting them apart from the pack. By 1967, they were on the road full-time -- too young to drink but old enough to blow the doors off every bar from Illinois to Iowa. A fateful merger with local favorites Somebody Groovy led to the definitive Finchley lineup: George Faber (vocals, harp), Garrett Oostdyk (guitar), Larry "Tabe" Tabeling (bass), and J. Michael Powers (drums). Named after a gang mentioned on a Kinks album, the Finchleys became infamous for their wild stage shows, psychedelic blues riffs, and outrageous theatrics -- including a real live boa constrictor on stage. They shared bills with legends like The Byrds, B.B. King, Canned Heat, MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, Rod Stewart and the Faces, John Mayall, and Humble Pie, and were hailed as one of the Midwest's most exciting live acts. Their defining moment came at The Kickapoo Creek Rock Festival (1970) -- a "mini-Woodstock" where their explosive set left tens of thousands of fans in awe and the Chicago Sun-Times proclaiming them festival standouts. Though mainstream fame eluded them, their recordings at Golden Voice Studios and Chess Studios captured their raw power and unique sound. These sessions became the cult-classic 1972 LP Everlasting Tributes -- a roaring mix of heavy blues, hard-psych and proto-punk energy that continues to inspire collectors and fans worldwide. Finchley Boys performed with . Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI. Ultimate reissue of this classic US hard-psych album including two killer tracks that were left off of the original tracklist. Includes insert with detailed liner notes and photos/memorabilia. Sourced from the original masters.

50th Anniversary edition of the legendary Eduardo Bort album, the crown jewel of Spanish hard-prog and psychedelic hard-rock from the '70s. Recorded between 1973 and 1974 and released in 1975 as part of Movieplay's legendary Gong series, Eduardo Bort's debut stands as one of the most visionary and legendary works in the birth of Spanish progressive rock. Conceived in Valencia after years of performing across Europe and enduring several failed recording attempts, Bort set out to create, without compromise or commercial restraint, an album that fused fantastic literature, instrumental virtuosity, and sonic experimentation. Inspired by the dreamlike worlds of H. P. Lovecraft and Lord Dunsany, the Valencian musician composed a conceptual suite based on the imaginary river Yann, weaving together passages of pure prog-rock, psychedelia, hard-rock, and cosmic poetry. He surrounded himself with an exceptional band -- José Soriano, Marino Hernández, Vicente Alcañiz, and Fony -- with whom he recorded the complex demos that would eventually shape the album. The sessions at Audiofilm Studios in Madrid, featuring dazzling production and a technical arsenal previously unheard of in Spain (Mellotron, Moog, Hammond organ, Rhodes piano), resulted in a sound so advanced that no local label knew what to do with it. Even EMI UK, deeply impressed by the recording, offered to release it internationally -- but the project was never finalized. Eventually, the album appeared quietly in 1975 through Movieplay, though over time it has come to be recognized worldwide as an absolute masterpiece of progressive and psychedelic rock. Featuring original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Sourced from the original masters. Includes insert with detailed liner notes (Spanish only) and photos.

Among the many forgotten bands of the late '60s, few shine as brightly (and unjustly overlooked) as Singapore's own October Cherries. From Singapore to Belgium to Abbey Road, The October Cherries reinvented themselves again and again -- Truck, Col. Truck, Jade & Pepper -- leaving behind a trail of dazzling Beatlesque pop-psych. Col. Truck's One Fine Day was released in the UK in 1976 and it's the perfect companion to the Truck's Surprise! Surprise! and October Cherries' Dreamseller albums. The October Cherries (Jay Shotam, Peter Díaz, Richard Khan, and Benny Siow plus the "fifth" member Balram "Bal" Shotam), became hometown heroes in late-'60s Singapore and Malaysia, crafting a shimmering brand of Beatlesque psychedelic pop that rivaled their UK contemporaries. After government censorship and piracy stifled their career at home, the band relocated to Belgium, releasing the Pepperish gem Dreamseller in 1972. When guitarist Peter Diaz departed to join famous Belgian band The Pebbles, Jay and Bal responded with a bold studio experiment: Truck's 1974 album Surprise! Surprise! -- a reimagined, synth-enhanced reincarnation of their earlier work, bursting with fuzz guitars, Moog flourishes, and melodic charm. What began as "revenge" became their most adventurous and collectible release. Soon after, the Balram brothers relocated to London and issued Col. Truck's One Fine Day (mixed at Abbey Road and mastered at Pye Studios), another gem blending the melodic warmth of Dreamseller with a leaner production. These projects together form one of the most fascinating hidden chapters in Asian psychedelic pop history. Long overlooked outside Southeast Asia, the October Cherries and their Truck offshoots are finally being rediscovered -- a kaleidoscopic bridge between Beatles-inspired pop and early '70s studio experimentation. Remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes and download card. RIYL: Beatles, Bee Ges, Tin Tin, Aerovons, Badfinger, Fading Yellow Comps.

From Singapore to Belgium to Abbey Road, The October Cherries reinvented themselves again and again -- Truck, Col. Truck, Jade & Pepper -- leaving behind a trail of dazzling Beatlesque pop-psych. Originally released in 1974 in Singapore/Malaysia, Truck's Surprise! Surprise! re-arranged songs first released on the Cherries Dreamseller album and sounds like it could've been part of the '60s British psych era but filtered through early '70s production: melodic, Beatles/Badfinger-influenced English vocals, catchy songs, lush arrangements, fuzz and wah wah guitar, electric piano, and cool analog synth/Moog which gives the album a wonderful unique vibe. Featuring "Earth Song," included by the late Trish Keenan of Broadcast in her celebrated Motorway Mix. This was one of the earliest Guerssen reissues, first released in 2004. Out of print for many years, the label now presents a new, updated edition. Features original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Remastered sound in 24-bit domain.

Psychedelic rock holy grail. Hailing from Tel Aviv, the Churchills blended Anglo-American psychedelia with Middle Eastern motifs. The band was in fact a cosmopolitan collective: vocalist Stan Solomon was Canadian, guitarist Robb Huxley came from England, while the rest of the group -- Haim Romano on guitar and mandolin, Michael 'Miki' Gavrielov on bass, and Ami Trebich on drums -- were all from Israel. Released in 1969, Churchills can be considered the first truly psychedelic rock album produced and released in Israel during the 1960s. At a time when Israeli music was dominated by folk and pop, the Churchills' English-language, fuzz-drenched, mind-bending sound and studio experimentation was wildly ahead of its time. Impossible to find in its original form, Guerssen presents a new vinyl reissue of such legendary album, sourced from the original master tapes. Includes eight-page insert with detailed liner notes by Mike Stax with input by original member Robb Huxley and rare photos.

Official reissue of this sought-after Canadian psychedelic hard-rock album from 1970. Formed in Toronto in the late '60s, It's All Meat (the name was taken from a dog food commercial!) soon caught the attention of influential character Jack London (frontman of pre-Steppenwolf band Jack London and the Sparrows) who managed the band and secured a deal with major label Columbia Records. After recording their first 45, the proto-punk MC5/Stones sounding "Feel It," the band started working on their first album with the tandem of Jed MacKay and Rick McKim as main songwriters. It's All Meat was released in 1970 and offered a powerful mix of garage-rock, psychedelia and early hard-rock, drawing influences from bands like the Stones, Country Joe & The Fish, Doors, Velvet Underground -- tracks like "Roll My Own" or the lysergic "Crying Into The Deep Lake" are now considered classics of the genre. Sadly, the band would split soon after the LP was released. Remastered sound in 24-bit domain. Includes booklet with liner notes by Plastic Crimewave and rare photos/memorabilia.

Since its discovery in the late '90s, Dave Bixby's legendary $2000 private press album from 1969 is considered by all serious record collectors as the King in the loner/downer folk genre. First reissued by Guerssen back in 2009, the label now presents a new, improved edition with newly sourced/remastered sound and extras. After being involved in '60s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby started playing acoustic guitar and experimenting with LSD. After a year of drug abuse he felt broken. Starting a soul-searching, spiritual journey, he wrote Ode to Quetzalcoatl and most of the material for his second album, Harbinger's Second Coming in just one month and a half. Assisted by fellow musician Brian MacInness, who played some guitar parts on the album, Dave recorded Quetzalcoatl using an echo-laden four track machine in a flat's living room. The sound is lo-fi and sparse: just acoustic guitars and some occasional harmonica and flute, added to Bixby's haunting, emotional vocals, spiritual lyrics and solid songwriting. The opening cut, the eerie and painful "Drug Song" sets the mood perfectly for the rest of the album which contains more tormented titles like "666," "Lonely faces," "Open Doors," and "Secret Forest." Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Restored and remastered in 24-bit domain at Grammy Award-winning Osiris Studio. Includes insert with detailed liner notes plus rare pictures and lyrics. Also features extra insert with the map/story of Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby, as well as download card.

Psychedelic hard-rock Holy Grail, originally released by this Greek band in 1976 but sounding more akin to late '60s/early '70s. Highly recommended to fans of heavy-fuzz guitars, think Dark, Fire, Open Mind, or even Spacemen 3 circa Revolution. The 4 Levels Of Existence (Τα 4 Επίπεδα Της Ύπαρξης) formed around 1974 in Athens from the ashes of a band called Frog's Eyes. Some of their influences were groups like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Who, or Iron Butterfly as well as traditional Greek music. They recorded their sole album in just ten hours with no overdubs and it was eventually released (500 copies only) on the small Venus label. The cover artwork was created by guitar player Athanasios Alatas. The band sadly split soon after but they left behind one of the most legendary and sought after albums not only from Greece but also from the worldwide heavy-prog scene. Remastered sound with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve with OBI. Insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby) and rare photos / memorabilia. Includes "Someday In Athens," sampled on "Run This Town" by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna and Kanye West.

Absolute monster when talking about US hard-rock/proto-doom private pressings. Hailing from Florida, Bolder Damn released this beast in 1971. Ultra-heavy, "raw-in-your-face" sound with loud fuzzed-out guitar, solid rhythm section and manic vocals. Bolder Damn formed in 1969 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The original lineup consisted of John Anderson on vocals and rhythm guitar, Glenn Eaton on lead guitar, Ron Refett on bass, Mark Gaspard on keyboards, and Bob Eaton on drums. Initially performing covers, they gradually incorporated original material into their sets. Their energetic live performances led them to open for notable acts such as Alice Cooper, MC5, The Amboy Dukes, and Blue Cheer. In 1971, after Gaspard's departure, the remaining members recorded their sole album, Mourning, at Hyperbolic Studios in Florida. The recording session lasted only four hours, resulting in a raw, in-your-face heavy sound. The album was privately pressed with approximately 200 copies distributed mainly to friends, family, and local fans. Side 2 featured the 16-minute epic "Dead Meat," which reflects the band's heavy, proto-doom style, reminiscent of contemporaries like Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer. In 1972 Anderson and Refett were drafted into military service during the Vietnam War, leading to Bolder Damn's dissolution. Comes with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI. Remastered sound. Fold-out insert with liner notes/interview with singer John Anderson and rare pictures. Includes download card. RIYL: Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Pentagram, MC5, Sainte Anthony's Fyre.

Retrospective of British mod/freakbeat/pop-art heroes The Eyes including all their cult classic 45s ("When The Night Falls," "I'm Rowed Out," "My Degeneration") plus cool rare tracks sourced from demos and acetates. Formed in London in 1964, The Eyes took the early feedback experiments and pop art image of bands like the Who one step further. The band wore dyed parkas in various pastel colors and brightly colored rugby shirts with huge eye symbols on the chest. Their raw, energetic sound and distinctive style combined aggressive, fuzz-driven guitar riffs with catchy melodies and a youthful defiance that captured the energy of the London mod scene. Their music bridged rawness freakbeat with the emerging psychedelic sound that would dominate the latter half of the decade. Tracks like the feedback-laden "When The Night Falls" or the fuzzed-out "You're Too Much" sounded years ahead of its time and they would influence the mod, garage revival and indie/shoegaze scene of the following decades. The Eyes only released a handful of singles between 1965 and 1966. They disbanded in 1967 and unfortunately they never released a full album during their short lifespan. Here it is! Remastered sound. Includes eight-page color insert with liner notes by Paul "Smiler" Anderson and rare photos/memorabilia, along with download card.

Top-shelf previously unreleased psychedelic pop from 1967-68 by this post-Lomax Alliance Anglo-American trio. A mix of West Coast/Swingin' London sounds with killer vocal harmonies, fuzz guitar, tape/studio effects. Think psych-era Beatles, Byrds, Nazz, Buffalo Springfield, Colours, and The Moon. The convulsed story of Rain involves Brian Epstein, The Beatles, Merseybeat, Liverpool, New York, Linda Eastman (who photographed the band) and more. Basically, when the Brian Epstein-managed band Lomax Alliance parted ways with their frontman Jackie Lomax (who was about to embark on a George Harrison-assisted solo career), his colleagues in Lomax Alliance -- guitarist John Cannon, bassist Tom Caccetta and drummer Bugs Pemberton -- left London behind to relocate to New York, where they changed their name to Rain (after his favorite Beatles track) and recorded a full album with producer Chris Huston (The Undertakers, Young Rascals). Despite the outstanding production, top notch songwriting and superb musicianship, the album never left the acetate stage. The trio played at the Fillmore and did more studio work under the Gypsy Wizards Band name that remained also unreleased, before disbanding in 1969. Tomorrow Never Comes includes all the tracks from the Rain acetate, recorded 1967-68, plus two songs from the Gypsy Wizards Band one (1968-69). Vintage styled artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Remastered sound. Includes Insert with liner notes by David Wells and rare photos/memorabilia.
