I Gres ‎– I Gres Vol. II 1975 (Gemelli)

Value : Gemelli

Label :

Never before commercially released library breaks monster recorded in 1975! Consisting of Romano Rizzati (Walter Rizzati), Silvano Chimenti, and a loose assemblage of primo Italian library session-players, I Gres recorded three blistering albums of funky library music.
A sublime selection of work from this legendary sound library ensemble – an Italian group who were so cool, so groovy, they were virtually a genre unto themselves – able to step easily between funky numbers, jazzy groovers, and these odd, offbeat styles that are especially nice! These record wonderfully wraps together a legacy of Italian sounds from the whole late 60s/early 70s soundtrack era – served up here without any sense of ego or need for identity at all – just a commitment to cool, compelling music – filled with plenty of grooves in the process.

Melvin Jackson ‎– Funky Skull 1969 (Limelight)

Label : Limelight

Value :

One of our favorite albums of all times – and a legendary testament to the greatness of the Chicago music scene in the late 60s! Melvin Jackson was the bassist in Eddie Harris' very successful group of the time – and his playing on Eddie's trippy and funky records for Atlantic is one of the factors that made them so great. Here, he's working with an acoustic bass, amplified with electronics like a Varitone sax – and this strange-sounding instrument is set up in a hip group that mixes Cadet funky studio players (Phil Upchurch, Morris Jennings, Jody Christian) with some of the brighter young players of the AACM (Roscoe Mitchell, Lester Bowie, and Leo Smith.) Jackson's bass is looped through all sorts of crazy effects, and the result is this amazing blend of avant garde playing and groovy rhythms that is beyond compare!

Pride (David Axelrod) - Pride 1970 (Warner)

Label : Warner

Value :

A lost treasure from David Axelrod – an obscure 1970 rock project, and one that's almost even hipper than his work with the Electric Prunes! The style here is rock, but the sound is very much in an Axelrod mode – quite spacious, and with this wonderful undercurrent of funk – bubbling up beautifully from the drums, and given plenty of room between the guitars in the mix, which appear to be both electric and acoustic. There's some slight Latinesque tinges in the guitar – very much in keeping with the barrio image on the cover, yet different than other Chicano rock of the time – and the whole album's got a really poetic feel, with lightly flowing lines that almost remind us a bit of Tim Buckley at points, but with a definite Axlerod twist. Titles include "A Hope", "The Truth", "In The Wilderness", "Proud Sorrow", and "Song Of The Pirate".By Dusty Groove

The Serpent Power ‎– The Serpent Power 1967 (Vanguard)

Label : Vanguard

Value  :

Folk/psychelic rock band from San Francisco. It was formed by Meltzer and his wife Tina, and also included Denny Ellis on lead guitar and David Stenson on bass, both from The Grass Roots. The band became a full rock outfit with the inclusion of John Payne on organ and Clark Coolidge on drums. Ellis, Stenson, and Payne left shortly after the first self-titled album was recorded, replaced by Bob Cuff (from The Mystery Trend), on lead guitar and Jim Mocoso on bass. But the band didn't record another album, and disbanded in 1968.

Harumi ‎– Harumi 1968 (Verve Forecast)

Label : Verve Forecast

Value :

One of the trippiest albums recorded for Verve in the 60s – a unique 2LP set by Japanese psych artist Harumi – and a record that stands proudly next to the best by Zappa or the Velvets at the time! The double-length space of the record really helps give it some shape – as Harumi starts out sweet, then gets a bit wilder, and increases the sense of experimentation as the set rolls on – so that the final track is a side-long psychedelic jam that's topped with spoken passages by Harumi's parents and sister! We like the poppier tunes the best, though – and they feature a mix of orchestrations, fuzzy guitar, and vibes – all layered with a really beautiful sense of sound, to accompany vocals by Harumi and Rosko. There's a gentle, breezy, and sometimes slightly funky quality to these numbers – Sunshine Pop with a trace of jazz – and exactly the kind of psyche album you might imagine from Verve in the 60s!

Piero Piccioni ‎- Musica Amore 1972 (General Music)

Label : General Music

Value :

Cinedelic Records present a reissue of Musica Amore, the extraordinary album by Maestro Piccioni originally released in 1972. Musica Amore includes songs from various soundtracks showing Piccioni's many facets. He utilizes the gorgeous voice of Shawn Robinson in "Right Or Wrong" and "Once and Again", from giallo thriller ...Dopo Di Che, Uccide Il Maschio E Lo Divora (1971), the choir I Cantori Moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni, the band of I Marc 4 (Maurizio Majorana, Antonello Vannucchi, Roberto Podio, Carlo Pes) and soloists of the caliber of Gianni Basso and Dino Piana. An absolutely killer album with superb arrangements, funky beats, exotic sounds ("Ebony Ride"), breaks, erotic lounge, beat, shake ("Abigaille"), psychedelia ("Fiore Nero"), and jazz, that stands as a key album in the world of Italian library music and soundtracks.

D.R. Hooker - The Truth 1972 (On Records)

Label : On Records

Value : From 1000 to 1700 euros

Early 70s psych folk from DR Hooker – looking pretty biblical in the cover photo – with a spiritual tilt to some of the lyrics, but in a pretty tripped out way – and a wild mix of styles, from easygoing, approachable folk pop, to untamed, fuzzed out psychedelia! We were expecting some laidback psych folk, and there is some of that, but also some full on psychedelic rock – with a mix of acoustic & electric elements, from guitars, to dobro, synthesizer, organ & piano, vibes & other percussion.

The Soul Explosion - Soul Fire 1968 (Center)

Label : Center

Value :

Detroit? Chicago? Well, no not at all. This 1968 release comes from a German band playing some lush and dynamic soul pop with an emotionally exalted vocal style that reminds a bit of Tom Jones at times. The songs range from powerfully onward grooving booty shakers to striking melodic tunes with great chorus lines that enlighten your spirit. When you take a listen you will realize these folks had a sense for the classic beat music of just a few years prior to this release and they really manage to lay down a steaming performance on this style actually already outdated back then. But since THE SOUL EXPLOSION spice up everything with a dark and brooding back street club atmosphere at the right moment, they could do what they want and always sounded exciting and fresh. I could not have told the difference between these krauts and any popular British or North American act in their genre. There is passion, sheer lust, a wild and animalistic drive and an ongoing groove that will mesmerize you. Technically this is a really solid group that knows to let loose when it is time to but mostly keeps the energy flow under control. I am certain that 60s fanatics who love the soul and early rock fusion of this era will go insane. It might be one of these typical exploito bands that were only studio projects done by the same musicians on several occasions for good money to be sold in the bargain bin to a willing audience. Well, we rather do not think further into that direction since the music that appears on “Soul fire” strikes your deepest inner self and sets your spirit aflame. The melodies are amazing and if you go and check the rhythms you will end up shaking without a chance to escape the everlasting pulse. This should have been enormously big. Think of later day ANIMALS, THE FOUR TOPS and the EQUALS all thrown into a mixer on full throttle, you might get something of a similar quality. Oh, Baby, c’mon shake it with me, yeah!

Puccio Roelens ‎– La Musica Di Puccio Roelens 1969 (Fontana)

Label : Fontana

Value :

Puccio Roelens may have his name on the cover, but the album's very much a hip small combo date – one that features fantastic instrumentation from some great jazzy musicians – but all of whom are playing on the funkier side of their spectrum! The sound here is unique – almost an early 70s extrapolation of the kind of mod grooves you'd find on a 60s Italian soundtrack – kind of a jerk-into-funk vibe – touched with a few mellower moments here an there, which feature some great tenor and trumpet.

Dennis The Fox ‎- Mother Trucker 1972 (MusArt)

Label : MusArt

Value : From 200 to 350 euros (the original)

Sometimes, a singer can act like a star, even though their actual place in the musical universe is far from the limelight – and that's definitely the case here with Dennis Caldirola, aka Dennis The Fox – a vocalist who's not afraid to brashly lay down his own lyrics that filled with offbeat wit, weird warnings, and a sense of presence that hardly belies the tiny circulation the album got at the time! The whole thing's a stripped-down, virtually-homemade production – but it's also one of those records that hardly knows that at all – and the group are surprisingly tight at times, even ripping off The Meters pretty heavily on one of the album's funkier tracks.

Vampyros Lesbos Sexadelic Dance Party

Η όμορφη δικηγόρος Linda Westinghouse βρισκόμενη στην Τουρκία για μια υπόθεση της πλούσιας κοντέσας Nadine που μένει σε απομακρυσμένο νησί, πετυχαίνει τον μυστηριώδη και σέξι χορό μιας όμορφης χορεύτριας σε ένα τοπικό νυχτερινό κέντρο.  

Από τότε αρχίζει να έχει παράξενους εφιάλτες που σχετίζονται με την χορεύτρια και που κορυφώνονται όταν παρά τις προειδοποιήσεις ενός ντόπιου για το αντίθετο, πηγαίνει στο νησί και συναντάει την όμορφη κοντέσα για να ανακαλύψει ότι αυτή ήταν η γυναίκα στο όνειρό της. Η σχέση των δύο γυναικών γίνεται ακόμα πιο περίπλοκη όταν η κοντέσα, όντας βρικόλακας, πίνει το αίμα της Linda κάνοντάς την να χάσει την μνήμη της...

Πανέμορφα συνεχόμενα ψυχεδελικά πλάνα που κάνουν την ατμόσφαιρα εκπληκτική και καθιστούν το Vampyros Lesbosένα αληθινό επίτευγμα τουλάχιστον όσον αφορά το καλλιτεχνικό του κομμάτι. Αυτό το πραγματικά εμπνευσμένο στιλ κινηματογράφησης κάνει την ταινία μια αληθινή απόλαυση για τα μάτια, αλλά και για τα αυτιά, μιας και η μουσική των Manfred Hubler και Sigi Schwab είναι αληθινά εκπληκτική, δίνει τον τόνο σε όλη την ταινία και την ανεβάζει επίπεδα ακόμα περισσότερο. Χωρίς υπερβολή, πρόκειται για ένα από τα κορυφαία soundtracks ταινιών της εποχής και σίγουρα το καλύτερο στην τεράστια φιλμογραφία του Jess Franco.

 Vampyros Lesbos (Spanish: Las Vampiras) is a 1971 West German-Spanish horror film directed and co-written by Jesús Franco. The film stars Ewa Strömberg as Linda Westinghouse, an American who works in a Turkish legal firm. Westinghouse has a series of erotic dreams that involve a mysterious vampire woman who seduces her before feeding on her blood. When she travels to an island to settle an inheritance, Linda recognizes a woman as the vampire from her dreams.

The film was shot in 1970 in Turkey. It was a popular success in theaters in Europe on its release and was the first film to have a more psychedelic score for a Franco film and the first to have a lesbian theme as a prominent feature of the film. The film's score became popular in the mid-1990s when it was included on the compilation Vampyros Lesbos: Sexadelic Dance Party, an album that became a top ten hit on the British Alternative charts.

 On a remote island, the beautiful vampire Countess Nadine Carody (Soledad Miranda) lures unwary victims with her seductive nightclub act and sets her sights on Linda (Ewa Strömberg). Linda begins having dreams about Nadine, and seeks her home on an island. She is interrupted by Memmet (Jesus Franco) who warns her not to go to the island. Linda follows Memmet to his chamber where she walks in on him torturing a young woman. She escapes this encounter and proceeds to the island. On the Island, Linda meets Nadine. The two go swimming and Nadine notes that the home they are staying at used to belong to Count Dracula. After Linda begins to feel dizzy from drinking wine, Nadine takes her to a room where the two have sex and Nadine draws blood from Linda's neck. Linda later finds Nadine motionless in a swimming pool and faints.

 The next day, Agra (Heidrun Kussin) appears in mental distress at a hospital, where she claims to have visions of Nadine. She is under the care of Dr. Seward (Dennis Price) who then treats her new patient, Linda, who does have any memory of what she encountered with Nadine. At Nadine's home, she appears alive and recounts to her servant Morpho (José Martínez Blanco) about how she became a vampire and her obsession with Linda who she wishes to become a vampire. Nadine uses her powers to contact Linda to return to her island where the two drink blood and have sex. On her return to hospital, Dr. Seward informs Nadine that to remove herself from the vampire's curse she must split the vampire's head with an axe or pierce it with a pole.

Linda is then kidnapped by Memmet. Linda's boyfriend Omar (Andrés Monales) begins to search for her. Nadine later arrives at the asylum to have Linda return with her where she meets Dr. Seward. Dr. Seward admits that he only attempted to help Linda in order to draw Nadine to him so he can become a vampire. Nadine refuses and has Morpho kill him. As Omar searches for Linda, she is told by Memmet that all women, including his wife Arga, who return from the island become insane which has driven him to kill various women around the island. Linda manages to kill Memmet with a saw and escapes to find Nadine. She finds Nadine at her home near death in desperate need of blood to survive. Linda ignores Nadine's plea and bites her neck and stabs her with a pole through her left eye. Morpho commits suicide and Linda is found by Omar who tries to convince her that the whole experience was a dream.

Phil Upchurch ‎- Upchurch 1969 (Cadet)

Label : Cadet

Value :

An incredible album from one of the greatest talents on the Chicago soul scene of the late 60s – guitarist Phil Upchurch, a player with an amazing sound! Phil could work in worlds that were equal parts soul and psychedelia – making his guitar a perfect accompaniment for the best Chicago soul of Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, Minnie Riperton, and other greats of the time. This album's easily one of Phil's best – a mindblowing set of arrangements put together by the groundbreaking producer Charles Stepney – bringing together bits of jazz, rock, soul, and funk – all providing the perfect genre-blending space for Upchurch to solo! Given that there's no singer on the set, Phil's work on guitar is a lot freer than you're used to hearing – in a really great way, one that puts him in a space somewhere between Shuggie Otis and Jimi Hendrix!

Davy Graham & Holly ‎– Godington Boundry 1970 (President)

Label : President

Value : From 160 to 500 euros

Davy Graham needs no introduction here, as he is one of the UK’s most influential and legendary guitarists. Drawing on influences as diverse as folk, jazz and blues, “Godington Boundry” is one of his later classics, which has (incredibly) been out of print on vinyl for decades. Taken from the original analogue studio master tapes.

“With his unorthodox playing style, Davy Graham exploded onto the 1960s folk scene to become one of the UK’s most influential guitarists. Drawing upon diverse folk, jazz and blues influences Davy flew in the face of what was then deemed commercial, recording a string of critically-acclaimed albums that reflected his exotic tastes. Revered by his peers as much for his guitar prowess and for his musical integrity, he is widely credited as the founder of ‘baroque folk’ and broke new ground when he introduced elements of what might now be termed ‘world music’ into his work. In keeping with the records Graham made for Decca, “Godington Boundry” is an unashamedly esoteric blend of the influences dear to his heart. As well as takes on the perennial ‘Worksong,’ then-contemporary covers of the Beatles’ ‘Mother Nature’s Son’ and the Incredible String Band’s ’Everything’s Fine Right Now,’ jazz standards such as ‘Round Midnight’ are also featured. Tabla player Kesh Sathe contributes his mastery to ‘Afta’ and ‘Nadu Silva,’ and Holly Gwyn lends her stunning vocals to ‘On Green Dolphin Street’ and the rousing ‘A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.’ Enjoying cult status for a new generation of fans, Davy Graham’s mystique endures and he remains one of the UK’s foremost guitar greats.By lightintheattic

Rita Lee & Lucia Turnbull ‎– Cilibrinas Do Éden 1973

Label :  Philips

Value :

Rita Lee of Os Mutantes and her friend Lúcia Turnbull's first outside project, these recordings were done for Philips in 1973. Cilibrinas Do Éden have played at Os Mutantes show in May 1973, at Palácio de Convenções do Anhembi, in São Paulo. It was Cilibrinas' first gig. At this show, Rita and Lúcia played with all the Os Mutantes backline, the show appeared to be a psychedelic edge with Rita and Lúcia dressed like some outside aliens for that time. They also dressed in colored clothes and feathers like a progressive rock band. Never officially released on vinyl or CD,
Now a group of Brazilian fans with European residence pick the recordings and put them in this deluxe vinyl format, with only 500 numbered copies done.
This release contain also two rare outtakes from Os Mutantes. You will certainly dig this if you like Mutantes: these recordings are a mix of the psychedelic Os Mutantes with some glam-rock freakness. Fantastic, professionally remastered sound, unbelievable material for all the Os Mutantes fans, and one of the best lost albums of Brazilian psychedelia!

P.S The original album was recorded, but never came out in 1973. I didn't want to merge this with the 2008 Brazil unofficial release.
