7” CAN - Vitamin C (G united artists 72) V+/V+ 170

The other side is “I'm So Green”.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT - Roadkill (US variety recording service 82) sTC E-/E(+) 370

Featuring young Ben Stiller as a drummer who, you know, is a famous Hollywood celebrity, pretty much uneven post-punk/no-wave oddity. Slightly restored by black felt tip to the bottom seam middle.

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - Trout mask replica (US straight 69) E/E+:E+ 450

STS 1053, early pink label issue on Terre Haute pressing, and both records have no noticeable imperfections! The thick gatefold cover has the usual shelf wear, but just the least. Includes an elusive triple-fold insert.

frankie CARR’S ALL NATURAL BAND - same (US tribute 77) E/E(+) 140

Obscure tax scam release of Tea Company offshoot. Recorded in mid to late 60’s probably before Tea Company, musically it reminds me of West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band in the very early era.

CARYL MACK - same (US private 84) E+/S 90

Pretty good AOR hard rock featuring a talented female vocal/keyboarder.

philip CATHERINE - September man (F atlantic 75) sSP,sSD,sSKb V+/E- 20

The cover is fairly used, but still acceptable. The record has a small to modest amount of light marks that do not affect playback.

Highly in demand, AOR modern soul top rarity! The cover is still in shrink, includes an insert.

CEDAR CREEK - In the wind (US private 76) TC,SP,RW V(-)/E(+) 50

A hidden gem of rural folk-rock psychedelia from North Carolina. The unpretentious, countrish playing and sorrowful melodies are undeniably captivating. Recommended for fans of Jimmy Carter & Dallas Country Green. There is a small but rather remarkable tear in the top right corner of the cover. The cover is a bit tatty overall, but the record is in excellent condition.

CENTIPEDE - Septober energy (UK neon 71) E-/E(+):E+ 130

The white gatefold cover has some blemishes and minor soiling, but very well preserved for its fragility. Includes two black inners (some splits on them).

CERVELLO - Melos (IT ricordi 73) E(+)/E 1100

The ambitious work of the Osanna offshoot. The cover is the best I've seen in the last 10 years, with minimal sing of the storage, and the gimmick door is perfectly intact. It comes with an inner that has a few stains for ages, tiny rips, and staple marks, but it is neat without splits or tears. The record has some shallow surface lines but plays beautifully without affecting the sound!

CEYLEIB PEOPLE - Tanyet (US vault 68) RW V+/E(+) 120

The cover was a little restored by black felt-tips around the edge.

CHAC MOOL - Nadie en especial (MEX philips 80) RWb,lBSP,sTCb V(+)/E(+) 55

Rare Mexican tribal prog ambient. The first pressing is clear wax housed in a gatefold cover. The bottom seam is largely split, but the cover itself is still acceptable.

CHAC MOOL - Suenos de metal (MEX philips 81) lBSP,SP,RWb,TC V(-)/V+ 25

The first pressing of transparent red wax includes the inner (bottom seam split). The cover is rather tatty but not totally trashed, of course..

Private prog symphonic with YES and Genesis influences. Stunning copy, the cover is still in shrink. Includes an insert.

bob CHANCE - It’s broken (US morrhythm 80) E/E+ 150

Cult cosmic DIY disco synth pop SSW. Slightly discolored on the rear cover, but still in shrink.

CHARISMA - Last days (US private 74) E+/E+ 500

Excellent Xian folk rock psych with desolate, downer vibes and a lo-fi, crude attitude. A stunning copy includes an insert.

CHELSEA - same (JAP mca 70) E-/E(+) 200

Mega rare promo only Japanese pressing. No OBI included, but I have never seen an actual copy with OBI.

7” CHERRO KING - (Can’t you see) The writing on the wall (US commerce 6?) /E+ 250

Obscure moody psych folk rock 45’s featuring John King, former member of The Wailers.

CHICO MAGNETIC BAND - same (F disques vogue 71) E-/E- BID

Tremendous French heavy psych monster features massive fuzz madness in Jimi Hendrix influences. Both the cover and the record are in excellent condition for this item! The cover has some creasing, but it is well cared for. The record displays light, inaudible marks and surface scuffs, but plays almost flawlessly throughout!

CHILDREN OF ONE - same (US real 69) sSL E/E 250

Entirely drugged-out eastern trip psych raga. This is a pretty neat condition, which is rarely for sale.

7” stephen f. CHILESE - It’s my music (US eclectic ?) /E+ 200

Largely unknown singer song writer Stephen Chilese backed by Arizona prog trio Booth, Davis, & Lowe.

alex CHILTON - Like flies on sherbert (US peabody 79) E+/E(+) 900

The extremely rare solo album by Alex Chilton, the main figure of Big Star. You will be taken aback by its highly unusual, nihilistic, and unrestrained garage punk sound. This is the elusive original pressing from Peabody, US. A beautiful example, you would expect!

CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND - The inner mystique (US tower 68) SP E/E 750

Bottom seam about 4.5cm split from the opening edge; otherwise, the cover is still in shrink and in exceptional condition. The record has a small bruise mark on the last track of side two that absolutely does nothing. Other than that, there are a few inaudible superficial marks visible only under bright light, and it plays smoothly all the way through.

7” CHRIS AND CRAIG - Isha (US capitol 66) sWL /E(+) 100

Californian folk pop psych duo Chris Ducey (Aka Chris Lucy) and Craig Smith, who later released psych grails under the name Maitreya Kali.

The first UK pressing in beautiful condition includes an insert.

CHROME - Half machine lip moves (US siren 79) E/E+ 125

CIRCUS - same (CH zytglogge 76) E(+)/E- 130

The first pressing is housed in a fully laminated cover and includes an insert. The record shows faint marks here and there, but they do nothing.

CIRCUS - Movin’ on (CH zytglogge 77) E(+)/E(+) 180

The Gatefold cover has slight yellowing along the spine, but otherwise, it’s clean and solid. Has a sticker as a bonus.

CITY BLUES - Blues for Lawrence Street (US nouveau 67) M-/E+ 700

West Coast teen white blues garage featuring solid guitar actions and bad boy vocals that deliver rundown backstreets atmosphere. Incredibly photogenic cover is in spotless condition!

CLARK-HUTCHINSON - A=MH2 (UK decca nova 70) sTC E-/E- 100

The cover has a few abrasions and some general storage wear, but it is still better than average. The record has a medium amount of typical wispy sleeve marks caused by Decca inner, but it plays no problem.

CLEAR BLUE SKY - same (UK vertigo 70) E(+)/E(+) 800

Both the cover and the record are in exceptional condition. There is a small stain on the lower left-hand of the front, but it is not particularly noticeable. The spine and other parts are in clear, crisp condition. Swirl inner included.

CLOUD - Common man (US mmi 85) sTC E-/E+ 70

6 tracks mini album urban jazz groove modern soul AOR out of Chicago, IL. Small rips on the front top right. Insert includes.

CLUSTER - Cluster II (G brain 72) sBSP,OSP E-/V+ 350

The first pressing on the green label with Metronome logo. There is a tiniest mark at the beginning of side 2 that affects a few ticks. The rest plays flawlessly.

kenny COLMAN - I need you (US united national 7?) TC E-/E(+) 55

AOR smooth mellow. Surface line caused by utility knife on the front cover middle that is nothing too major.

COLOSSEUM - Those who are about to die salute you (UK fontana 69) E(+)/E 50

Fragile gatefold cover is somehow in great shape. The record has a small watermark on the edge that does nothing.　

pascal COMELADE - Paralelo (F parasite 80) SA E/E 170

The first solo effort was pressed in a limited edition of 1000 copies. There are pieces of cellophane tape in two places inside the album pocket.

pascal COMELADE - Sentimientos (US dys 82) E/E(+) 270

A masterpiece of electronic minimal wave, housed in a triple gatefold cover includes an insert.

CONDELLO - Phase 1 (US scepter 68) E/V+ 60

Typical late 60s psych pop. Scarce White Label Promo Mono.

tony CONRAD WITH FAUST - Outside the dream syndicate (UK caroline 73) E(+)/E 120

Original with 1/G mother/stamper, possibly the earliest pressing. Comes with a black company sleeve.

CONTENDER - same (US purified 85) E+/E+ 75

Xian AOR hard rock featuring soaring female vox. Includes inner plus promo single as a bonus.

CONTEXT 70 - same (US private 70) E-/V+ 400

Ultimately weird DIY high school project in New York. It contains primitive folk, an innocent girls' garage, and mysterious poetry readings. Still, to say the least, the highlights are concentrated in the avant-garde track with plenty of effects and tapes, and another odd instrumental track with out-of-tune fuzz and overheated organs.

chris COOMBS & LIGHTYEARS AWAY / THUNDERMOTHER - Gagalactyca (UK holyground 90) ACb E/E+ 125

This split album features two groups, Lightyears Away (based on A-Austr) and Thundermother (ex-members of Little Free Rock and Rare Bird). It is positioned as a true sequel to Astral Navigations, whose fans will undoubtedly want to give it a spin. Although it was recorded in 1971, the same year as Astral Navigations, it remained unreleased for some time, with its official release occurring in the 1990s alongside the reissue of Astral Navigations. A lavish booklet accompanies the album.

COS - Viva boma (BEL best seller 76) E(+)/E+ 265

The so-called Belgian Hatfield & The North comes in a front laminated cover, and overall, it’s near pristine!

COSMIC MICHAEL - same (US bliss 69) fOSP,SA,hRW V-/V(+) 85

This is an orange-label version that comes with a plain white cover. It's the ultimate DIY style album, with some releases having cover art added on whimsically, and others released in their original plain white covers. A pinnacle of real people's weirdness.

COTO EN PEL - Holocaust (SP nevada 78) E(+)/E(+) 250

Amazing Spanish prog with a dark and disturbing mood featuring Robert Fripp-inspired guitar actions and plenty of Mellotron! First pressing comes in a gatefold cover with an insert.

b.j. COYLE - To Opa Locka and you (US crimson dynasty 75) SP,sTC E-/E+ 450

Unusual black & white drawing cover art reminds us of another lone acid folk private. But, he doesn't belong with those characters. This one is actually pretty good DIY melodic psych folk, with proto powerpop elements here and there. It would be highly recommended if you dig up similar styles by Jon Tabakin, John Scoggins, and Eddie Callahan!

CRAMPS - Gravest hits (US illegal 79) E/E(+) 160

Red cover first pressing.

CRANNOG - same (UK private 76) sTCb V+/E(+) 75

Private electric trad folk with soaring female vox.

CRAWFORD - The peak experience (US ipsi 76) sTCb E(-)/E+ 175

Composer, saxophonist, and keyboardist Thomas Crawford launched his label in Maryland and released the album Crawford, a jazz-flavored soft rock album featuring male and female vocals that occasionally shows proto AOR moves. Afterward, Thomas Crawford significantly replaced the members and changed the band name to Thesda in 1979, releasing one album that is now a holy grail of rare groove and jazz funk.

CROCKETT / NEWSOM BAND - Crockett (US wild horse 83) E+/S 90

Obscure country rock blues folk out of Michigan. Crazy Horse alike guitars and skillful harmony vocals.

CROSSWIND - same (US loose wig 82) M-/E+ 130

Jazz bossa rare groove AOR out of Cincinnati, Ohio.

7” CULPEPER’S ORCHARD - Ska’alting ga ud over mig (DEN polydor 71) sWC E-/E- 20

Odd collaboration single with Swarbrick family. Only for die-hard Culpeper’s Orchard buffs?

CURE - Three imaginary boys (UK fiction 79) SKb E(+)/E 130

First pressing A//1 B//1 matrix with STRAWBERRY THE GATWICK SOUND etching. Includes an inner sleeve (bottom seam middle split).

CURLY CURVE - same (G brain 73) E/E 180

The silver-foiled cover shows almost no particular wear and is in excellent condition. There are slight cracks at the top seam, middle, and the center of the spine, yet they are not splits. The record plays near mint!

karen DALTON - It’s so hard to tell who’s going to love you the best (US capitol 69) E(+)/E(+) 500

Debut album of an American female folk cult figure. There are minor stains and creases on the cover, but they are hardly remarkable. It doesn’t have a usual cut-out, which is rare for this title. The record displays a few surface marks that were caused by inner, which do not affect playback.

DANA - Images in the night (US southwind 81) OSP,RW V+/E 170

Aka Dana Marie Howard, smooth mellow female vocal Xian AOR.

DANGER - same (H cow 73) sSP E(-)/E 200

Danger means an unlistenable piece of crap or a brilliant music experience? I think it’s the latter. Quite uneven Dutch experimental prog from 1973, which people either love or hate.

DANNY BEN ISRAEL - Bullshit 3 1/4 (ISRAEL isradisc 70) BTP,OSP,lSAi V/V+ BID

Despite being even less commonly found than Churchill, this record is still sought after and is the second-rarest record in the Middle East. Influenced by Zappa and Beefheart, as well as inspirations from Amon Duul and even Mario Schifano, it incorporates avant-garde and innovative sounds from across the globe, showcasing the most avant-garde psych acid rock in history. The gatefold cover has a light brown stain at the bottom, and there is some lamination peeling and paper fraying. However, considering its rarity, it is fortunate that the cover has survived in such condition. And, the record plays strongly with occasional minor ticks and pops.

spencer DAVIS GROUP - The second album (UK fontana 66) E-/V+ 70

Original MONO pressing housed in a front laminated cover.

DAVIS/PEDIGO - Messengers (US passage 83) E+/E- 110

Xian AOR soft rock. The record hardly played, but there is a tiny pressing defect on the end of the B-3 that makes a few ticks.

DEBRIS’ - same (US static 76) E-/E 380

Insane, bizarre local private oddball that was fused proto punk and mutant psych in early Chrome realms, but more raw and crude.

7” DECADES - I’m gonna dance/On sunset (US lady luck 67) /E+ 300

This 45's contains full of insane sound effects and fuzz screaming.

DEDALUS - same (IT trident 73) SKb,BSP E-/E(+) 600

Terrific Italian prog and jazz rock with some elements from Canterbury school. A great album without complaint. The gatefold cover has corner wear and a seam split, but remains presentable. Has a usual Peters International sticker on the rear cover.

DEEP FEELING - same (UK djm 71) SP V+/E- 110

Very flimsy unipak cover has some restoration spots with a black felt-tip, but not too remarkable. The upper spine and lower have fraying and tearing, but overall it still looks OK despite the fragile nature of material. The record has some light marks that barely affect playback. Plays throughout mostly fine without noticeable crackles.

DELIRIUM - Lo scemo e il villaggio (IT fonit 72) E/E- 140

Their second album is understated but imbued with the essence of jazz rock and has a few psych elements. There is a thin line on the side one, but fortunately, it does nothing and plays smoothly.

DEMIAN - Rock star farm (US starburst 74) E/S 225

This is a rather obscure outfit out of Illinois, not to be confused with another Demian from Texas. A conceptual album that is an uncommon mix of heavy acid rock and symphonic elements, with a bit of theatrical singing, which reminds me of VDGG, which is a rare case in the States. Still sealed, although the shrink is torn on the bottom left, and there is some wrinkling.

DEPARTMENTSTORE SANTAS - At the medieval castle nineteen 100 year lifetimes since (US top shelf 84) M-/M- 380

Experimental pop psych lo-fi home recording affair, perfect copy in shrink with hype sticker and printed inner.

DEUTER - D (G kuckuck 71) SKb E(+)/E+ 130

Georg Deuter has established a solid presence in the German electronic, new-age, and experimental scenes. This is his debut album. The meditative yet dope sound blends Eastern-oriented, back-to-nature elements with ambient electronics.

DEVON - same (US house of kings 82) RW V+/E 140

Overlooked xian AOR SSW comes in prog-esque SF cover. Though it’s unanticipatedly smooth mellow grooves. A few minor ticks on the beginning of A-2 caused by a tiny pressing fault, the rest plays flawlessly.

DIALOGUE - same (US private 72) sSAb,SP V+/E(+) 300

First pressing, no name label (not Coldstudio) housed in a silkscreened cover comes with a lyric insert. DIY bedroom baroque psych pop SSW. Top seam 14cm split from the opening edge. Otherwise, the cover is well cared for.

DIES IRAE - First (G pilz 71) sSD E(+)/E(+) 300

These guys are not typical Karutrocker, but also druggy acid heavy rockers with straightforward blues boogie jam and desolate vibes all over.

klaus DINGER + RHEINITA BELLA DUSSELDORF - Neondian (G teldec 85) E+/E+ 60

This is Dinger's solo project, who took over the La Dusseldorf succession, after Neu!. This limited edition includes an extra-large poster, stickers, and colored vinyl. Of course, it also comes with an inner sleeve.

DISCIPLE - Come and see us as we are! (US avco 70) E-/E 50

Male/female vocals pop psych out of New York. This cover always has some issues, so it’s a better example for sure.

tod DOCKSTADER - Quatermass (US owl 66) E(+)/E+ 120

Well known electronic musique concrete, in great condition both cover and record.

7” DON, JOE & ELDON - Take it (US enterprise & co. 77) /E+ 140

Featuring Donnie & Joe Emerson.

DOORS - Strange days (US elektra 67) E(+)/E- 80

This is a US original stereo Pitman pressing on tan labels. There is minor wear to the corner, but overall, the cover is still presentable. The record plays with a little crackling on A-3, but for the most part, it plays gorgeous. The inner sleeve has a few wrinkles, but it is still sturdy.

DOVE - Dove II (US shalom 74) E/E+ 30

Soft rock with male and female vocals in the style of CCM. The album surprisingly has a strong prog influence, with a fairly generous use of Mellotron, crisp rhythm changes, and sharp guitar work. It also shares similarities with Texas Christian prog band Millennium (with its hourglass cover) and British band Narnia, so this is a great choice for fans of those records.

craig DOVE - same (US river musik werks 78) M-/M- 250

Midwest private AOR blue-eyed soul. This is as good as it gets! Such a mellow, smooth groover.

bob DOWNES OPEN MUSIC - Electric city (UK vertigo 70) sTC E-/E 250

Featuring Chris Spedding, Ray Russell, Ian Carr, Harry Beckett, and others, great electronic jazz. Includes a Swirl inner (has writing).

DR. FEELGOOD - Malpractice (UK united artists 75) E+/E(+) 100

Unblemished copy comes in fully laminated cover. A-1U/B-1U matrix with 1G/1GR stamper.

DR. FISH - Vi har provd og fortalt det i alle ar (NOR s-forlaget 83) E(+)/E 60

Jazz funk prog with some AOR and Wave mixes. Not edgy, but pretty enjoyable to listen.

DR. STRANGELY STRANGE - Heavy petting (UK vertigo 70) E/E 1000

Their second release on the Vertigo Swirl label, famous for its special gimmick cover that requires careful storage. This is not Mint, but a very nice example for sure, with a few inevitable rubbings from the storage. One of the flaps, which is also the tail part of the deformed part, has a few folds near the bottom, but they are not very noticeable. These are the defects I found when I looked closely, but the front exterior is very clean with no noticeable imperfections at all. The record also has some light marks from the inner bag, but it looks and plays well. Comes with a Swirl inner. It's a rare opportunity to find one in such good condition, so don't miss it.

DRAGONFLY - same (US megaphone 68) E-/E+ 600

Full-tilt fuzz burned-out heavy psych at its finest. The unpack cover has light wear to the corners but is relatively presentable. The record is close to the Top.

steve DRAKE - Cold sweat (US odyssey 76) E/E(+) 250

This is the second effort by Steve Kaczorowski, aka Steve Drake, the cult artist who pioneered the groundbreaking genre of karaoke psych.

steve DRAKE BAND - Nature intended (US tiger lily 76) E/E+ 250

Infamous tax scam release of legendary album of Acid Archive topics. The cover is mostly still in its shrink, but the shrink wrap is partly torn. The record is immaculate and plays flawlessly!

DREAM - Living in a dream (US private 79) E+/E+ 200

The name says it all. This is soft psych pop with dreamy arrangements, bittersweet melodies, and slightly sorrowful vocals. Includes an insert.

DRUID - Toward the sun (UK emi 75) E+/E 30

A little gem of pastoral folk prog. The delicate textured cover is in beautiful nick. Includes a lyric inner which has some minor brownish

DRUID - Fluid druid (UK emi 76) E(+)/E(+) 30

Great copy comes with inner.

DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE - Creation (US uni 68) RW E-/E+ 560

Scarce, and even better Stereo pressing. The cover has a slight ring impression and some seam wear, but it’s still neat overall. The record is immaculate!

pascal DUFFARD - Dieu est fou (F cbs 76) SKb E/E(-) 160

French jazz rock prog was backed by members of Magma. For those who don't know, it has a dramatic and often poetic sound, and the contrast between stillness and movement is full of dynamism.

jan DUINDAM - Thoughts (H munich 78) E/E(+) 170

Soft, melancholic psych acid folk from the Lowlands with fragile vocals, dark, introspective songs, and beautiful female backup vocals. The impressive black/white cover fits the music itself.

DULL KNIFE - Electric indian (G philips 71) WL E+/E(+) 400

This is an unfortunate German heavy prog rock outfit that has been known for a long time but has rarely received the proper review. There are no overwhelming jams like Orange Peel, no majestic structures or passages like 2066, and no fast-paced aggressive actions like Night Sun. However, with its strange heaviness, the inapposite church organ, the awkward sound productions that may or may not have been intentional, and the non-smooth vocals that don't feel the slightest bit smart, it unfolds a drug-influenced psychedelic music by accident. Although the tendencies are different, anyone who likes Supermull should be able to dig it.

DUST - same (US kama sutra 71) sTCb,sCN,sSP E/V+ 80

The first pressing on pink labels housed in a textured cover has a few blemishes but is mostly still in shrink. The record has light sporadic marks but plays excellently without any noticeable issues.

DUST - same (US kama sutra 71) E+/E+ 130

The first pressing on pink labels was housed in a smooth cover. Close to spotless copy!

DZYAN - Time machine (G bacillus 73) E(+)/E(+) 160

Their second album combines astonishing improvised jazz with ethnic elements and the essence of Krautrock, creating a uniquely heavy sound.
