original yellow/green label MONO pressing of this mind melting texas garage/psych debut. 100% groundbreaking and amazing. higher minded acid punk at its best. ROKY ERIKSON sets the world on fire… cover is nice with very minimal ring & edge wear. just starting to crack a little at spine, but not split. clean back cover. small name in pen on one label. vinyl has some hairline and a few other odd marks, nothing major at all. like every first press mono theres a blemish in the wax towards the end of side one, but its no big deal. not mint but a keeper for sure with super shiny wax, and the thick, loud mono mix blasts through any of the minor flaws. totally essential, and the stereo mix doesn’t come close…VG++/VG++.
original french pressing on the vertigo I.R.I. offshoot. totally great deep krautrock trance sounds with long flowing tracks. for me its the perfect kraut sound : total cosmic trip-out but also a deep groove. sweet one! beautiful laminated single cover. pressed on heavy deep BLUE VINYL. lamination starting to lift along spine, otherwise nearly perfect. just a few very lite hairlines on vinyl. NM-/EX++.

awesome florida private press outsider acidfolk / bar rock from another dimension. really brilliant stuff, but takes some time to penetrate fully. this guy must have had some great & strange drugs on hand. a very unusual mix of stunning on-the-edge acidfolk and dosed bar room hoe-down folkrock. totally bent lyrics and a really strange but consistent vibe. the folky cuts are really amazing, and they alone should have gained this album much more of a reputation by now. a really fun, weird & deep trip, but must be taken on atlantis’ terms. totally awesome & beautiful fantasy cover art. edge wear & a little ring wear. faint sticker stain. nice wax. VG++/EX-.

original brazilian first pressing of fantastic south american psych. tropicalia vibes, wild fuzz, effects, regional flashes. from the city recife which had a small but great & unique scene (LULA CORTES, ZE RAMALHO, FLAVIOLA, etc.). later pressing altered track list, this is the unaltered original. very fragile & super weird textured cover. layout by LAILSON of SATWA. tiny price sticker tear on back, corner bends, but very clean art. long lite paper scuffs on wax, but plays real nice.

a real cool piece for sound sculpture collectors! way obscure private press 10inch released by the museum of modern art, new york, to coincide with an exhibit by the artists in 1965. the vinyl itself was pressed in france, and an alternate version was sold there, but this version was packaged and (barely) sold through the museum itself in the US. packed in a fragile b&w six panel foldout folio cover with photos of all the amazing instruments & extensive notes. blank back. amazingly, this copy comes direct for the MOMA’s archive and still has the museum’s index tag affixed to the spine. other than said index tag, the very fragile cover is EX. vinyl is stunning unplayed NM+. a very rare & very cool item indeed.

NM-/NM-.
quite scarce original copy of this fantastic late date private press acidfolk jewel that has quickly become hugely in demand. easily in the same realm as BOBB TRIMBLE, JEFF EUBANK, T KAIL, etc., but equally in its own bag musically, i personally enjoy this album above any of those.. gentle hallucinogenic psychedelia with gorgeous dreamy male/female duo vocals, lush guitars, flute, synth, bongos, 12-string, electric bass, plenty of reverb, etc. total acid love-nest euphoric vibe. if not for the somewhat dated arp synth it would be very tricky to place this one in time what-so-ever. it has a early 70s feel, but without sounding at all retro. includes the very rare & beautiful thick booklet insert which has lyrics, notes, poetry, and many illustrations printed on thick textured art paper. top copy. booklet is NM. cover has some tiny tiny signs of wear but nearly perfect. same for the vinyl. NM-/NM-.

beautiful original copy of this exceptional & very rare xian folkrock / garage / psych private press. only 300 copies pressed. top of the heap for this kind of thing without question. other then one lame blues song (slightly redeemed by some pretty hot electric guitar) every track is a complete winner. the sound is quite varied, with each track a unique experience. all together, an utterly charming album best taken as a whole. ranging from moody melancholy electric folkrock with chiming velvet underground like electric guitars, to unhinged raw fuzzed-out garage rock, to glassy-eyed zoned-out folk. both the male & female vocals are wonderfully youthful, sincere, and totally earnest. loads of awesome cheap go-go organ, perfect raw garage production, nice harmonies, unique song writing, and the drummer is nuts! really really cool album, with lovely obscure-o cover art to match. very very minor storage warp which has zero effect on play. cover fully in shrink. NM-/NM-.
as atlantic records partner and president jerry wexler said to phil spector (who released the lp via a distribution deal with warner bros.): ‘thank you for the test pressing on lenny, i think it’s fantastic. many of the bits in this lp surpass in brilliance, insight and compassion anything i’ve heard of lenny’s. i had come to the point where his juridical musings were beginning to put me off, and i was beginning to his obsession with his trial (and trials) as a bore. i have a new insight. lenny really achieves new dimensions as a prophet when he addresses himself to the nature of the law, the judge and the policemen in the same sense as the old testament prophets did when the attacked kings and commoners alike, exposing the unending cop-outs and rationalizations which with people protect their paltry possessions and nurse their hard-won neuroses and precious foibles. those in power are better able to perpetuate their grip on their baggage, both material and psychic, than those they oppress; but both haves and have-nots are uptight in this regard. when lenny is really popping and cooking, as he is in this lp, i get so turned on that i get a euphoric kick. it is a case of terrific rapport and shared viewpoint, and the electric like viewpoint, and an electric-like phenomenon and awareness takes place, perhaps what james joyce refers to as an “epiphany” in portrait of the artist. lenny induced this in me many times in clubs, but i don’t remember it happening listening to his records until this time.’… perfect SEALED NM+ original copy with very small cutout.

super rare french private press underground basement folk psych kinda like BOOK OF AM on a lo-fi bad ergot trip! totally raw, damp, dark vibes but with real strong energy & intensity. trad folk delivered like wild pagan romps, mixed with deeply psychedelic acidfolk originals. all acoustic but really blown-out with guitars, autoharp, banjo male/female and great mystical flute work. all english lyrics. pretty unknown album but this one leaves a strong impression on everybody lucky enough to hear it. future reissue on time-lag records… very small pressing with crude screen printed cover. this copy has the very rare paste-on back cover insert. cover has general age wear, sticker stain, small top & spine splits. nice wax with just hairlines & lite scuffs. cheap pressing but plays well. VG+/EX-.
private press tough hardrock / metal. great looking front cover could easily be 60s private acidfolk till you see the dudes on the back! i am kinda curious about the “special effects guitar tracking unit” invented by the guitarist… should be CLEAR WAX. very minor corner wear but STILL SEALED NM-/S.
nice original copy of this monster rare deranged heavy french acid psych scorcher! really insane album thats a total top shelf item for heavy psych collectors. chico’s vocal are downright out of this world, babbling & screaming stream of consciousness madness and senseless, wordless free expression. think DAMO SAZUKI and MALCOLM MOONEY rolled into one face-tripping frenchman and you’ll be pretty close. the band is equally unhinged with relentless hendrix worshiping guitar pyrotechnics, driving bass, and heavy-ass drums… mix that all with production & wild studio/tape effects/loops from avant genius JEAN-PIERRE RAWSON and you’re in for one hell of a powerful trip. stunning full color (not like the recent reissue) fragile laminated flip-back cover. cover has a tight small bottom seam split, beginning very minor spine crack, and a small half inch tear at opening. all barely noticeable, and looks just about perfect from the front. label are near perfect with a couple faint spindle marks on either side. heavy wax has a handful of lite hairlines & paper scuffs, but full of shine and full fidelity preserved. nice keeper copy for sure. very rare, unique and recommended album. EX+/EX.
great, rare, and still little know sole 45 from the duo of CHRIS DUCEY and CRAIG SMITH. chris ducey of course was the original dude behind the amazing “songs of protest and anti-protest” lp, but his version was never released, only the BOBBY JAMESON version (credited to chris ducey / chris lucey) and craig smith popped up again in the early 70s as MAITREYA KALI, dropped the epic loner psych “apache/inca” 2lp masterpiece, and vanished for good… so, this is basically the first chapter of a long, mysterious, and really wild story. the craig smith penned ‘i need you’ is pretty tame so-cal pop showing obvious beach boys inspiration. not bad, but nothing special… but chris ducey’s ‘isha’ is an amazing fevered eastern psych jammer that keys right into the most high energy moves on ‘apache/inca’. hot stuff. ‘isha’ side is EX- / ‘i need you’ side is VG+.

way obscure private press unknown 2nd lp from this maine folk duo. their first and only other lp ‘for a few lovin’ moments’ is great soft folk with moody/dark undercurrents and has gained a following. this 2nd lp is far rarer, but in more of a live lounge mode. still, cool if you’re a fan and theres a couple solid originals. very obscure looking cover. mostly white cover is kind of dirty. very cheap pressing. VG+/VG+.
rare original first pressing stereo copies of the sole lp from this too short lived and all time teenage garage psych classic. overflowing with killer fuzz hooks, punk-ass vocals, primitive grooves, and some awesome moody folkrock tracks. 100% solid. SEALED EX-/M.
extremely rare arizona private press rural downer acidfolk that is hardly ever offered. desperate sounding vocals, tabla, haunting flute, female backing vocals in a few spots, and some nice acidic electric guitar weaving through in places. not totally striking on first listen, but seems to grow quickly on all who hear it. seriously crude cover art is too much to believe! some info from the artist himself : “mike craig daughter of the moon reordered at desert sound recording studio (1973) released new years eve (1974) after the success of mike’s first album the producers decided that a second album was needed to be put out in a hurry. they determined to take mikes music in a different direction. the album cover was to be controversial and odd so artist/model maggie blackburn was commissioned her cover turned out to be odder than was hoped for. there was no time to change it so it went to press. the all female back up band (cantaloupe island band) was brought into the studio and the album was recorded (in the early 1970’s female bands were considered novelty acts and were not considered to be serious musicians) mike was frustrated with the direction his music was going in. by the time the recording was done mike severed all ties with this band and became reclusive. this album was doomed when it went to the record pressing plant the first stampers had a flaw on them and an unknown number were pressed with the flaw in them before there quality control people found it. by this time the producers of the album were mad at mike for not wanting to work with or go on the road with the girl band. so they pulled there money out leaving mike with the rest of the bills. mike went to the record plant and took the stampers so no more of the albums could be made. the record plant had shipped out possibly 200 of these albums before mike was able to stop them.” … so there you have it. only 200 or less copies pressed! solid cover with only mild general wear. perfect labels. vinyl is virtually unplayed, but has a handful of lite hairlines & paper scuffs from poor storage over the years. solid copy for sure, and not likely to be popping up for sale again any time soon. VG++/VG++.
great title! damaged underground sounds from EDDIE FLOWERS and co. hand stamped labels. paste-on cover and hand stamped ESP ripoff back cover. EX++/EX+.
super strange tennessee private press from 1980 that has some real charms. sexually confused drug addled amateur folkrock with nature concerns and some rather deep, moody, and very cool tracks. its a fun unique listen all through. i dig this one, especially the way its simultaneously early 70s throw-back and proto mid 80s lo-fi girl folk. not many albums can make that claim… awesome cover art too. VG+/EX+.
another scarce private press college comp ala PERSPECTIVE, RIGHT OF LITTLE REST, TOOL SHED, etc. this ones from earlham college, richmond indiana. from nice trad folk (mattie groves, lark in the morning, etc.) to cool downer folk originals, and even a cool avant electronics piece. a few real gems, a few duds, but over all a cool one. nice ultra obscure crude b&w cover. pressing is poor causing slight warping, but it plays fine. only a couple hundred or less pressed. VG++ /VG+.
stunning original copy of this private press teen acid garage monster. one of the best in the bag, which has had a huge rep since the dawn of interest in obscure garage/psych with good reason. snotty howling brain-dead vocals, relentless ripping fuzz/wah guitar, crisp & loud grooving organ, echo effects, pounding caveman drums, acid lyrics, etc. the handful of fast fuzz psych blasters are total crushers. to my ears the slower numbers work well in the context also, giving some variation and still keeping plenty of raw edge, especially ‘flower girl’ with its beautiful chiming bell melody. i don’t think this guy could sing softly if he tried… set apart from 90% of other such tiny private press lps by the amazingly high quality recording and pressing which is total top notch. amazing crisp clear fidelity, both in the actually recording & in the impressively hi-fi pressing, which is a pretty powerful combination. this one jumps out of your speakers and right up into your face. only 500 copies pressed so always a rare one. amazing thick full color metallic printed cover art adds to the vibe perfectly. high quality thick wax too. cover is amazingly perfect in full shrink. shrink has a small tear on back where the cover was signed by grady pope in 1985, with the shrink then clear taped neatly back into place. pristine vinyl. NM/NM.
original deluxe reissue of very rare german private press heavy psych with serious west coast leanings, burning duel electric guitars, etc. long out of print & very limited. fragile textured cover & ultra-fragile textured insert. first release on this high quality & collectible reissue label. top copy.

rare cleveland heavy psych with prog flashes. nice mostly black cover design thats usual very worn, but this copy looks nice. just slight wear, worse on back, and a cut corner. lovely wax. EX-/EX++.
quite rare MONO PROMO original. way tougher to score then the stereo version, and far superior sounding to these ears. totally killer LA garage/psych burner with great pop sense, serious avant learnings, wicked acid fuzz, awesome effects, and amazingly good use of string/horn arrangements on a few cuts, which is quite a feat itself. the whole thing gushes with cool sounds: garagy organ, harpsichord, strange timings, off-kilter harmonies, dissonance mingling with pop hooks, driving rhythms, pounding bass, even a homemade ‘plasmatar’ that spews burning square wave raga fuzz through the relentless acid psych of ‘mirrors of wood’. front man warren hansen was clearly just busting with creativity. overlooked or underrated by some, but to these ears this kills 90% of the mega-hyped, mega-bucks psych lps out there. think early VELVET UNDERGROUND jamming west cost garage pop ala LOVE and you’ll have a hint of the sound here. awesome. cover has printed promo marking on rear cover. bottom few inches on cover have some moisture damage, mainly just some mildew stops and minor discoloration which blends into the front cover art pretty easily. otherwise a nice cover with just some ring wear on back. hairline scuffs on the wax, but plays great. these mono promo copies total kill the stereo version! VG+/EX-.

top condition original swirl label german pressing of their 2nd and final album. a real wild underground psych folk trip. folky INCREDIBLE STRING BAND inspired flights of fancy with big doses of fuzzy electric guitar soloing setting this album far apart from their more gentle debut and adding a distinctly acid flavor. a pretty unique sound all things considered, but will certainly appeal to fans of FRESH MAGGOTS or SUBWAY. packaging in one of the coolest lp covers ever created : a fragile fully laminated di-cut multi-panel double-sided fold-out piece of art that is as strikingly beautiful as it is ingeniously designed. notoriously easy to damage, this one is amazingly clean with just one very subtle tiny 1/2inch tear. vinyl is equally clean with just the slightest tiny hairline here & there. NM-/NM-.
interested & rare obscure topical private press. spoken commentary from various nam draft dodgers. a pretty intense time capsule. striking b&w cover art. EX+/EX-. $40.00
original 1973 private pressing. totally wonderful conceptual electronic / folk / psych epic. one man’s (bill holt) introspective home studio labor of love. some folks can’t hang with the sound, but i love this one. two side-long tracks (and long sides too) of intricately layered tape samples, electronic tones, moog, acoustic guitar & vocals. they’re actual songs, though, not experimental noodling. something like bedroom acidfolk stretched to the point of minimalism and them dosed with period samples, which are clearly deeply considered and precisely placed, not just tossed around. cool stuff… lite ring wear. sorry, no insert. side one has couple ugly marks from getting dropped on the turntable spindle i’d guess: they’re wide marks not sharp scratches. plays through with just mild surface noise, which is pretty inevitable anyway since the sides are very long & very quiet. side two is nearly perfect. VG++ cover, VG+ side one, NM- side two.
red label stereo pressing. quite rare version before the name was switched to LUCEY. truly wild story behind this album, as most of you reading this probably know by know. this is actually BOBBY JAMESON. the label had this album in the works with CHRIS DUCEY, but ducey backed out at the last moment, with the covers already printed… so they called bobby in to record the album instead, writing original songs that were already titled by ducey. a handful of copies were released with the “ducey” title, before the label switched it to “lucey”. around the same time the real ducey cut the rare & amazing CHRIS AND CRAIG 7inch with CRAIG SMITH aka MAITREYA KALI… would love to have heard his version of this album… oh, and word is thats BRIAN JONES on the cover! anyway, although the backstory is pretty great, its really the music thats the best part. its a lonesome westcoast moody folkrock gem, through & through… cover has few inches of splitting to top & bottom seem. one corner bend. tiny tear on front, two slightly larger ones on back. pretty decent all together, and real cool item. VG+/VG+.
nice copy of this massive career overview with a bunch of great rarities mixed in. recordings span 1962-1981, but heavy on the 60s stuff. each lp has a printed inner sleeve with track by track notes, plus a nice thick booklet. all wax is between EX+ and NM, box is EX+. not as easy to find as it used to be, especially in good shape.

rainbow label first press of very strange obscure protest folkpsych that reworks old war songs into weirdo jug band folkrock pop. fully in shrink. NM/EX.
totally killer & little known washington teen private press gem. these young brothers nail the late 70s male teen ethos like few others. a great mix of fuzzed-up, psych tinged rockers, wide-eyed hazy ballads, power-pop, and loose, raw party funk grooves. heavy doses of cheap fuzz petals, sweet sweet heart tugging vocals, dreamy floating keys, big grins, magically simple but effective bass/drums chug, and amazing/crude riffing galore. every song is great and starry-eyed sincere like only a couple small town teens in the late 70s could do it… the ultimate summer evening beer buzz sentimental trip for sure. recorded in the shed of their parent’s farm! you just sorta need to hear this one to believe it. maybe not everyone’s trip, but i’ve seen some folks flip-out for this one, and its a huge fave ‘round here. gonna be a future biggy no doubt. highly recommended. flat & clean SEALED with just one very mildly banged corner.
actually credited to DON, JOE & ELDON but its the same rad kids who made the awesome DREAMIN’ WILD lp. same killer moody rural teenage bedroom rock sound as on the fantastic lp, but recorded a year earlier. pretty rad. unplayed! NM.

SEALED MINT.
very rare and little know georgia private press. deep & fragile late night mystical mood. definite religious vibes, but definitely not xian, instead having quite a cultish atmosphere that sets this one well apart from just about anything else. odd instrumentation including mandolin, flute, guitar-synth, piano, etc. along with more typical 6 & 12 string acoustic guitar and such. male & female vocals. highly gentle, melodic and trance inducing stuff. great bizarre b&w ‘brain’ cover art too! just about perfect fully in shrink copy with just handful of tiny mildew spots under shrink. sparking wax has a tiny storage edge warp that does nothing. NM-/NM-.
quite rare tri-color label original UK pressing. easily their best one. pretty tripped-out with loads of effects, weird guitar sounds, feedback, etc. hitting an almost SF SORROW sound & production quality. front laminated flip-back cover. original label inner sleeve. lite general cover wear with clean art & no splits. inner sleeve taped at edges. tiny warp has zero effect. scuffs on wax but plays awesome. VG++/VG+.
monster rare original 1966 MONO pressing of holy grail level PA teen garage classic. no need to hype this one, as it should be well know to most, as its been well loved since the dawn of garage enthusiasm, and already reissued way back in 1983. apparently pretty tough to find even when new in 1966, as it was a very small single pressing on a regional private/micro label. one of the strongest openings of any lp of this type, starting with the ferocious version of “fight fire” thats a top level chugging raw fuzzed-up garage classic, right down to the tweaked feedback/tape delay surge of the opening seconds. this is followed by an equally strong band original for one wicked back-to-back lift-off. the whole album is great from there, if not quite as in your face. good dark moody ballads mix with high energy rockers, all with that very special ‘66 sound. the bright & beautiful front cover, mysterious back cover without even song titles, and the great colorful label design totally seal the deal. a true monster. front cover very very clean barely any wear. neat 2inch top seam split and some mild edge/corner wear. white areas on back cover slightly yellowed with age, but not bad at all. nice clean labels. surface paper scuff marks on the wax front being taken out of the inner sleeve for 40 years, but its all superficial stuff. this lp got played a lot, but was never abused. plays fantastic! EX-/VG+.
old euro reissue of mega rare japanese heavy prog psych sitar burner, pre FAR EAST FAMILY BAND. deep space pink floyd vibes with a tougher edge. NM/NM.
great and underrated post JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE album from NOEL REDDING. sweet rural psych sounds with solid songs & great playing all through. fairly common, but this one is WHITE LABEL PROMO and the heavy gatefold cover is fully in shrink. ‘not for sale’ marks rubbed out on label. hairlines & scuffs on wax, but retains great fidelity. perfect cover. NM-/VG++.

very cool & very rare brazilian private press hardly known by anybody until the shadoks reissue last year. great stuff from recife, the home of LULA CORTES, ZE RAMALHO, AVE SANGRIA, etc. sunbaked folk psych pop magic. i’m told it was never commercially for sale, only sold at an art gallery. always trashed if it turns up at all, this copy is very nice! thin fragile laminated cover is almost perfect. vinyl has a some scattered marks but nice full gloss. EX++/VG++.

super rare original first press / first version of their debut later rereleased simply as “the fugs first album” on ESP-DISK a couple years later. all time classic NYC underground folk psych dope grope beatnik freak masterpiece. less hyped, but for me as much of a cornerstone as “the velvet underground and nico” or “the psychedelic sounds of the the 13th floor elevators” for its general blowing-things-wide-open factor. recorded by HARRY SMITH. featuring THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS. unique MONO mix thats different even from the ESP MONO version. awesome folkways style double pocket leather textured cover with heavy wraparound paste-on art. includes the always missing original insert! vinyl has some lite paper scuff and a few lite scratches, but nothing major and really plays well. super clean cover with crisp clean graphics and just a faint name in marker on the back. NM-/VG++.

awesome & little known new england private press loner/outsider folk gem. first could tracks are a little weak, but they improve with repeated plays and the rest of the album is truly fantastic. very real, deep, downer introspective lyrics, a unique voice and some very cool guitar work give a definite acidfolk edge. real nice obscure cover art too. SEALED NM/NM.
original yellow label pressing of this very rare whimsical baroque guy/girl folkrock duo. gentle and lush sounds with crystalline production, big arrangements, and an all star backing band including VAN DYKE PARKS on harpsichord and an early appearance of RY COOTER laying down some spot-on electric slide guitar. truly stunning front cover artwork has barely a speck of ring wear. very clean in general with large ‘demonstration – not for sale’ stamp and small price sticker residue on back. side one has only some minor lite scuffs, side two has more lite marks and one lite zigzag needle scratch, so call it strong VG++ side one, VG+ side two.

very scarce german original pressing (rarer then the french version) of their awesome tripped-out debut. can’t say i’m a huge fan, but i really dig this first one: already plenty of acid, but light on the gnomes… lovely laminate gatefold cover with totally different front cover art from the french version. super clean cover & wax. vinyl looks like it was played a couple times at most, cover has a small punch hole. laminate has mild general storage wear. there is a small sticker that should come off easy with the product of your choice, so i’ll leave that to the new owner.

extremely odd & quite funny private press by a bunch of goofy dirty minded singing doctors! tracks like “at your cervix” pretty much give you the idea… plain white cover is pretty worn, but vinyl is very clean, though it could use a clean. pretty rare one for real weirdos. VG(+)/EX-.
actually credited to MISS NELSON & BRUCE… nice original pressing of totally bent nyc electronic childrens music that certainly blew the mind of those few kids who actually heard this stuff at the time. EX-/VG++.
awesome original copy of this very rare & really great slab of basque progressive folk psych. stunning electrified folkrock setting with beautiful femme vocals, sounding nearly straight out of the early 70s uk scene, ala TRADER HORNE, SPIRIGUNS, FAIRPORT CONVENTION, but with a unique spanish flair. amazing heavy laminated gatefold cover and including the very rare thick booklet insert. super clean top copy here. a tiny bit of wear on two corners, and a few ultra-lite stray hairlines on wax only. as clean as you’ll ever find. NM/NM.
little known new england late-date private press loner folk psych, late 70s or maybe 1980. took me a few spins to get into this one as it doesn’t open real strong, but it really takes off with cool electric guitars, rural moves, electric piano, and a strong neil young influence popping up with good effect. cool cover too, its totally got the right look. with lyric insert. cover has mild ring wear & clear tape along most of the top seam. some age spots on the wax but looks barely played. VG+/NM-.
very rare original pressing of the sole release by this arty post-hardcore group featuring FUGAZI members. only 1000 copies pressed. packaged in a manilla envelope with paste-on art. tons of feedback, tape loops, etc. pretty far out for these dudes. ultra-fragile cover has splitting seam & general dirty/wear. vinyl is well played, but still sounds good as its a loud, lo-fi beast anyway. VG+/VG+.
nice minneapolis private press that sounds earlier then the “78 release date. quite solid laidback psych jamming with a distinct DEAD vibe, nice organs, great guitar, and sweet obscure palm tree cover art. still pretty underrated, but gaining interest (and rarity) quickly. slight ring wear, but otherwise very nice. EX-/EX-.

NM-/EX.
odd 2nd pressing on alternate label (orig on reprise) in amazingly clean shape. another gem from this genius. small sticker residue on back, otherwise like new. NM-/NM-.
lovely copy of this highly rated micro label heavy psych burner. really very good for for this type of thing, with solid songs, great guitars, cool organ, and never too much of a macho or blues vibe going on. great weirdo cover art. very very minor storage warp that has zero effect on play. perfect in shrink NM/NM.
quite good solo acoustic guitar private press with obvious nods to the takoma school, but also filled out with guest musicians in spots for a bit different sound. great cover art & label design! two small stickers lower spine, and some faint sticker residue front. VG++/EX+.
strange & cool finnish prog / folk / psych that covers a lot of ground, with varying success. some great moments, though. the 2nd of many releases. fragile gatefold cover, with thick insert. very thick vinyl. lots of scuffs on wax, but still sounds good. EX+/VG.
very rare soundtrack from one of the few ‘serious’ biker flicks. musically pretty tame, but much in demand as an historical piece non the less. if you collect biker soundtracks, this is a big one. amazing heavy black gatefold cover with big color photos of all the key original hell’s angles members, and a great cover shot of founder SONNY BARGER kicking back on his bike for the cover. big punch hole and minor crease to upper right corner, otherwise only very faint wear. looks quite great. nice clean wax with just a couple hairlines.

awesome previously unreleased material from japanese heavy psych legends. the title really saws it all… marbled yellow vinyl. very limited pressing. with insert. perfect NM/NM.
way obscure early 70s private press lounge psych. male/female vocals. pretty typical covers scene for the most part, with a couple total duds, but one real highlight in the extended “ramblin’ man” with a hot endlessly extended dueling electric guitar solo and frantic amped-up drumming. if the whole album sounded like this it’d be a total rural / southern guitar psych killer, and totally worthwhile for this track alone. some other good moments as well. great thick cover looks like another generic sunset photo at first glance, but its actually a painting. great loser band photos on back. very little info. cheapo pressing looks a little weird & hazy, plays fine. VG+/VG++.
real nice copy of scarce irish micropress heavy psych / progfolk lp. probably their best, with some wild heavy fuzz guitar/organ moves! gatefold cover with original art inner sleeve. EX–/EX–.
really nice canadian private press rural acidfolk with full band, loose feel, female backing vox, etc. great suiting cover art too! cover looks good with just minor general wear. vinyl is much played with various mark. mostly surface stuff but a couple worse needle marks. some surface noise but still a good player copy. very slight warp does nothing. VG+/VG.
great legit reissue of new zealand fuzz & wah fueled heavy acid guitar psych power trio monster. probably at their peak here. heavy 60s style cover. fully in shrink NM/EX+.
way rare & utterly brilliant debut from true american visionary michael hurley (“mike” at this point). although it would be over six years between this album and “armchair boogie” in 1971, it is quite clear michael had a clear & unique vision of his own brand of folk music even at this young age (only in his early 20s). these are deeply wonderful & timeless recordings that deserve a place in the history books. finally reissued on vinyl this year, but sooo tough to score as an original, and a very cool artifact on all levels. essential… cover is very clean overall. spine looks like it was once taped. tape is gone, but spine is yellowed from it. no idea why it was there to start with since the spine is undamaged. date & name in ballpoint pen top right corner. small corner bend bottom right corner. sadly, no insert. vinyl has only faint storage marks and a few ultra lite long scuffs. typically cheap folkways pressing, so this copy sounds as good as any you’ll find. name in pen on one label. EX-/EX+.
long gone, very limited, and quite beautiful reissue on the great label. intense UK amphetamine prog psych blaster. full bonus lp of demo, live, and single tracks. heavy art paper gatefold sleeve. printed neon pink inner sleeves with notes. includes the original neon pink OBI strip as well! top condition, looks brand new. rare!

real weird on here… credited only to zager & evans “with others” but side two of the lp is the full first side of the awesome J.K. & CO. “SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER” lp, which is a classic slice of teen dreamer psych. so, half an original of a killer lp for way less cash. promo copy with sticker on cover. VG++/EX+.
way rare BLOOD RED WAX WHITE LABEL PROMO original pressing of their 2nd album, the follow up to their masterpiece debut ‘vacant world’. this ones something of a different trip, but still plenty of charms and some lingering moody dark angst and fuzz guitar splashes. quite rare in this form, and the fidelity of the red wax promo pressing is mindblowing. front cover art is clean & bright, but seams are worn & splitting. mild foxing on back cover & white labels. vinyl has various scuffs & marks, including a couple feelable ones, but amazingly the incredible pressing plays nearly perfect. VG+/VG+.
original press of long time psych fave with backing from BOHEMIAN VENDETTA. everybody seems to be a fan of this one, and its held up well over a lot of years and hype. there’s a real starry-eyed quality here that just doesn’t pop up on a lot of these “psych” records…. beautiful copy still in shrink with just a (fairly large) cut corner. vinyl played a couple times at most and would be perfect if not for some slight storage haze. NM-/EX+.
cool educational album of indian classical music theory / instruction. with notes. great cover design. library stickers on back, otherwise clean. EX/EX.
original YELLOW LABEL PROMO MONO pressing of his first proper lp. the story is an epic one, but this is the guy who made the CHRIS DUCEY / CHRIS LUCEY album a couple years earlier (which actually had a uk release under his real name & with a different title.) the sound here isn’t far from the great ducey / lucey album, but more baroque with typical CURT BOETTCHER production. nice stuff. lots of marks on wax, still plays better then it looks. VG+/VG.
top copy of this very rare and mysterious french private press acidfolk beauty. backing band features a member of heavy french prog group ARCANE V. super fragile hushed late night mood that really doesn’t sound like much else. nylon string acoustic guitar, xylophone, flute, etc. unusual arrangements all through, always simple yet strange. lyric are all in french, but the vocals are soft & lovely. one very sweet meditative electric guitar track too. really cool one for the right listener. very fragile laminated cover has just super lite corner wear. thick board printed insert is perfect. vinyl has just some faint storage marks and a couple paper sleeve scuffs. about as clean a copy as you’ll ever find. NM-/NM-.
original BLACK LABEL MONO pressing of their pre-GRACE SLICK debut, with SKIP SPENCE on the drums! still underrated compared to their later lps, but a great west coast garagy folk rocker that might just blow you away when you hear it with its original thick, powerful, mono mix sound. cover has some ring wear & dirt, but no real damages. vinyl has seen a lot of play but still sounds pretty great in mono. VG+/VG.
self released collection of singles & rare tracks. pretty great seattle melodic psych/indie/whatever with nice femme vocals, loads of vintage synth, fuzz, etc. gatefold cover. NM-/NM-.
good maine private press xian folk pop. nice teen female vocals and a lot of pretty wild synth set this one apart from the bulk of these local xian lps. i dig it. cover in in shrink but split 2/3rds of the way across the top seam. VG+/VG++.
exploratory psych concept record that shoulda been on ESP disk, great loner moves/doo wop experiments/hard rock orbit/rural jams. songs like “moonbeam”, “mama neptune”, “vapor lady”, etc..a beautiful copy. gatefold sleeve. cut out. EX++/M-.
extremely rare southern california acetate lp that could very well be one-of-a-kind, and its a good one too. this is not the well known british artist with the same name… totally mellow laurel canyon / topanga valley lonesome ssw folk / folkrock with strong original songs, good warm vocals & nice guitar. mostly just the guy singing and acoustic guitar, but with occasional great female backing vocals, second guitar, sparse piano, flute, violin, tambourine, etc. adding some welcome variation. everything is nicely loose, but wouldn’t be a stretch at all to hear this was a canned major label project. not mind-blowing, and while there are a few pretty haunting tracks its not “downer” either, just a real nice dose of that sweet soft introspective melancholy westcoast sunset sound. i dig it, and its a grower… hand typed labels. MONO pressing. various marks on wax but nothing major and plays really well the whole way through, especially for an acetate. heavy textured plain black cover. cool item. EX/VG++.
uk original press. rather strange lp on many levels: if the mix of christmas themes and mod beat psych isn’t enough to get you curious, the cover photos of the band, dressed in full SS gear, inside christmas ornaments, should do the trick. all weirdness aside, mostly a pretty good lp! laminated flipback cover. VG++/VG++.
long gone shadoks reissue of this mega rare & great japanese acid folk private press. for me the best japanese reissue on the label. a great mix of deep folk moods, acidic fuzz leads, a few rockers, all english vocals, really great fun/surreal/weird lyrics. instantly enjoyable & just grows on you with repeated spins. tiny corner bends & the very faintest starting cover wear. vinyl & insert just about perfect. recommended. NM-/NM.
totally unknown and quite great west coast private press. self recorded in various bedrooms in palo alto, california. essentially a solo endeavor with one friend adding excellent drums to a few tracks. floating, introspective loner folkrock with psychedelic flashes. filled with beautiful layered guitar tapestries enhanced by understated but persistent use of phasing, backwards effects, echo, fuzz, reverb, etc. really magical post-hippy west coast guitar action for sure. the vocals are warm & deep and float through the music perfectly. primitive by nature for sure, but the home production job is top notch. solid all through, and 2/3rds of the tracks are truly amazing. serious grower qualities upon repeated listening, with many sweet subtleties. the stark b&w cover art captures the urban loner mood perfectly. recommended. pristine SEALED NM+ with insert.
third album of texas xian coffee house folk, with the same vibe as their first, though without a real stand-out track. not bad and some nice female vocals. in shrink. EX-/VG+.
their first album. texas xian coffee house folk that gets too chipper at times but opens with a great moody guy/girl folk duet with heavy echo effects which is well worth hearing. some other ok moments too. nice crude b&w cover art. VG+/VG.
private press west coast communal hippy eastern guru worship folk psych with many voices, many guitars, many odd precessions, flute, violin, etc. a few really lovely tracks. writing on cover (signed maybe? hard to tell) price in marker, some ring wear. super clean wax. VG+/NM-.
real sweet tan label original copy of this rather amazing lp thats been getting a lot of attention since the NEW AGE ‘ALL AROUND’ lost recordings lp was finally released a couple years back. a pretty magical mix of powerful stoned folk blues with eastern mystical raga elements perfectly integrated. a totally groundbreaking sound for the early date, and a cornerstone of folk psychedelia for sure. this was his sole release of the era, coming out just months before his very early death. highly recommended album and just getting tougher to score. tiny punch hole, small corner bends/wear, and an 1inch bottom seam split, but otherwise super clean with beautiful crisp cover art. near perfect wax. oh, and sounds WAY better then the recent bootleg reissue! EX++/NM.
original copy of this super cool & rare lp, one of the most unusual of its type from the era. could go on & on about this one, but think lo-fi intelligent dorm room garage folk through a crude new-wave filter and you’ll be close. really strange, demented, fun, catchy, raw, thoughtful, dumb, etc. all at the same time. very small private pressing and it seems all but 50 copies were destroyed by the band. very crude cover with wrap-around paste-on xerox cover. NM-/NM-.
pretty cool & very obscure west coast communal hippy folk psych private press with male/female vocals, chanting, hand drums, flute, etc. some tracks are sorta eastern jazzy folk improvs, some are tighter mellow acidfolk. cool very crude paste-on front & back cover art. vinyl is pretty clean other than one deeper scratch that causes some ticks during the first two tracks on the second side. VG++/VG+.
orig UK press from ex-FLEETWOOD MAC dude, post mental therapy. pretty cool album with some loner/acidfolk flavors. fancy textured ‘book’ gatefold cover. EX-/EX+.
bronze guitar player MONO first pressing of their debut. real thick cover & vinyl. scuffs on wax, much worse side two, but nothing deep and plays nice. EX/VG++.
really cool & quite obscure private DIY label release that doesn’t turn up much. 1000 copies pressed. early ones had totally hand made covers, and this is one of those. blank white cover with extensive hand stamping & colored marker embellishments, making it look like some far out bootleg but its actually a legit release. includes a 3 page insert that totally breaks down every angle of the albums creation, including itemized release costs personal, recording gear, mastering, label philosophy, etc. a pretty inspired little package for & a true artifact of the era. usually trashed, this one is really nice! cover very clean & white with just a small name in pen. was sealed with marking tape at open, maybe came that way? just a few hairlines on the wax. name in pen on label. EX++/NM-.
orig WHITE LABEL PROMO pressing of nice quirky singer-songwriter / folkpsych from south african dude via england & arizona. nice stuff with a touch of donovan flavor. mild ring wear. VG++/NM-.
monster rare original peruvian pressing of killer south american garage psych burner. impossible to find debut album from these legends, and one of the rarest south american albums. great songs all through, tough fuzz guitars, groovy go-go organ, wild percussion sounds, cool tripping all english lyrics, regional folk flavors, and plenty of acid. very fragile & always trashed cover has just mild wear and some creases. nice metallic silver printing. super thick vinyl is visually VG to VG+, but plays way better EX-. a great player copy of a top shelf gem.
original press of this real cool instrumental acoustic guitar album on tiny FOLKWAYS offshoot label ASCH. heavy folkways style paste-on cover, with notes. cover a bit faded, quite a bit at spine. VG++/VG++.
awesome original copy of monster rare top shelf west coast private press beauty. highest (6) rarity rating in hans pokora’s book, plus the “masterpiece” symbol. one of our all time fave private press artifacts. really great rural, stoned folkrock psych with a strong basement vibe all through. the sound is acoustic based, but with full band backing adding organ, drums, electric guitar, etc. really deep down & out mood, pained vocals, perfect wobbly harmonies, and a little country folk flavor. very charming homemade production with a great real people feeling. every song is great, but its hard to pick a standout track. the whole thing is really on the edge, with songs taking odd turns when you least expect it. quite unique & really fantastic. certainly in my top 5 US privates! signed by david lamb on the shrink. cover has a few tiny discolorations on the white back, but otherwise perfect SEALED NM.
very obscure spokane, wa. private press xian psych. an unusual album that adds lots of sax to a solid westcoast acidrock sound. not jazz or fusion, or really even horn rock, just psych with lots of sax as another layer to the sound. it actually works pretty well, and in the context makes for a unique musical personally. great guitar work all through. these guys ‘converted’ WILSON McKINLEY! great strange heavy gatefold fantasy cartoon cover art. cover has general wear. lots of lite marks on wax but nothing major. name in pen on label. VG+/VG+.
nice WHITE LABEL PROMO copy of this cool one from LOVE frontman & musical visionary. gatefold cover has punch hole & faint name in pen (blue on blue). original inner sleeve. EX/EX.
2nd private press album from this canadian. his first was downer folk, but here he’s in a rather strange & uniquely effective goner lounge psych mode with full band, lots of keys, some charmed femme vocals, and jazz tinged electric guitar. definite outsider sound here. some makes me think this is what HACKAMORE BRICK would sound like if they got totally dusted and turned up as a bar band 6 years later… anyway, takes a few spins to absorb, but a real worthwhile trip. tiny storage warp that does nothing. in shrink. NM/NM.
nice sealed MONO original of very pleasant moody early folkrock with decent overdubbed arrangements. pretty dated, but a nice vibe & mood throughout, and well worth checking out if you dig his great ‘photographs of feelings’ lp. SEALED NM+ with a small punch hole.
awesome copy of the 3rd and final lp from these garage psych legends. way easier to find then their first two, and not as monstrous for sure, but still a pretty great album & quite tough to find clean. heavy gatefold cover has promo sticker on back. just a couple tiny marks on vinyl which is otherwise super clean. EX++/NM-.

beautiful SEALED original of their mighty second album with the wild side-long ‘revelation’. another total classic from ARTHUR LEE and co. this came out of a pile of all mid 60s first pressings so very confident this is tan/gold label rather then the later red label pressing. its got the right look & feel too. no cuts, bends, tears, etc. super crispy & flat. SEALED NM/S.
amazing STILL SEALED MONO original 1966 pressing of the amazing debut from ARTHUR LEE and co. totally classic slice of cali garage magic. everybody goes on and on about ‘forever changes’ but for my money this is just as great, easily top of the heap for ‘66 major label garage lps, and the mono mix kills the stereo. usually trashed, rarely clean, and just about never sealed! neat cut corner bottom right, original price sticker (5 for $1.38!) crispy, clean & flat, barely even any wear on the shrink. SEALED NM/S.
original copy of this totally amazing & much in demand downer folk psych masterpiece. really can’t think of many as deep, sad, and beautiful as this one. ultra smooth booze soaked deep vocals, intense melancholy, stoned-out atmosphere, lifted ragas, sitar, 12-string, autoharp, tamboura, etc. totally unique & massively recommended. whole first side is deep acidfolk ssw stuff, second side goes all out stoned raga jamming. includes a color repro of the often missing insert. mindblowing stanley mouse cover art seals the deal. cover has a very minor starting split/bend to one corner and only the very faintest wear otherwise. very clean graphics. vinyl is nearly pristine unplayed. beautiful copy of this essential album. EX++/NM.
obscure soundtrack album with some great funky tracks, loads of breaks, etc. doesn’t seem like a reissues, but not totally convinced this is a first pressing, so its cheap… EX+/VG+.

original private pressing of this ultra stoned-out teenage garage psych beast. only 250 copies pressed. wasted vocals, blazing up-front organ, frantic drumming, etc. nice chiming guitar sound. some cool surprising use of flute & massively echoed drums in spots… not trashed but certainly not for mint freaks. cover has fully split top seam, repaired from the inside with clear tape. general edge wear, white is somewhat yellowed, and bottom right corner is bent about 1inch. amazing b&w art remains very sharp. includes the cool custom fidelity inner sleeve. metallic labels are very clean. vinyl is well used with many surface scuffs and a handful of lite and not so lite scratches. still an enjoyable listen, but there is surface noise throughout. still a pretty sweet & seriously rare slab at a fraction of the cost of a mint copy (if you can find one). VG+/VG.

cool femme folk cosmic country album on vermont micro label. really nice vibe to this one if you dig the sound. her next album was produced by LARRY MURRAY of HEARTS & FLOWERS, which makes perfect sense. top seam & spine mostly split, but not much ring wear and vinyl is clean. with insert. VG/VG++.
mega rare west coast deep loner/downer acidfolk rock with great moody intense vocals, wonderful songs, and powerful bass/drums backing. amazing and wild reverbed acoustic guitars flying everywhere through the whole album. one of the only full lps pressed on this mainly garage 45 label, micro quantities made, likely less then 100 pressed. really fantastic album that’s a personal fave and remains too overlooked… well used copy but cleans ones go for $1500+ and are almost never offered. cover has sticker tear / rubbed area, corner crease, and heavy edge wear & splitting. very little ring wear, though, so not looking too bad from the front or back. vinyl has many hairlines & a handful of scratches, but nothing too deep. first 30 seconds of each side has lots of noise, but the fidelity improves quickly and its a decent player copy of a true rarity. VG/VG.
bronze label original press of what is essentially the 2nd SERPENT POWER album, and the rarer of the two. its nearly as good too, though more subdued, and interspersed with david’s poetry. the poetry actually works quite well in this context, and the duos vocals are as sweet as ever. ‘pure of place’ is a total gem with a perfect little fuzz solo. nice clean cover but small price in marker top right corner. side one EX, side two VG+. plays real nice. EX cover.
real obscure north western private press. kind of a hard one to pin down, with some tracks going in a pretty straight coffee house folk direction, while others are rather psychedelic with some lite fuzz, weird synth, etc. nice female vocals on most tracks, but the dude sings some too. not entirely effective overall, but a few winning cuts for sure. lite wear and a tiny coffee stain. nice clean wax. EX-/EX-.

much in demand original 1966 MONO pressing of this great debut. long time fave of many garage dudes, its a really strong dose of brit invasion / zombies inspired teenbeat garage rock. almost all originals, with plenty of great hooks, loads of enthusiasm, great harmony vocals, vox organ, and gobs of ringing leslie-amped guitar. often compared to the rising storm, and while i don’t personal rate it quite that highly, its a fair comparison. really great stuff for sure. front cover is lovely with hardly any wear. back has some discoloration & small name in marker, but hardly any actual wear. very minor starting crack at top seam, but not split. very clean labels. vinyl has a handful of marks, but nothing major & still nice and glossy, sounding great in mono! plays really nice with full fidelity intact. really solid copy of this classic.

original copy of this all-time top shelf femme acidfolk masterpiece. really no need to hype this as its well know everywhere now due to pure quality and many reissues, but the real thing is a treat. totally stunning perfect mix of deep lysergic lyrics, masterful studio & electronic effects, melting layered vocals, and all-around seriously tripped-out vibes. one-of-a-kind beauty… cover looks beautiful in sleeve but under direct light there are dull eraser marks on the white areas. two small corner bends. orange label. lots scuffs & hairlines but all just surface stuff and still real shiny.

rare & rather lovely femme xian loner folk on legendary & much sought after RPC custom label. like the best xian music, the vibe here is spiritual & introspective rather then preachy or in your face. all original songs, warm sweet young vocals, nice acoustic guitar playing, which is often finger picked. poetic lyrics with a strong lonesome melancholic mood on the majority of the album, and the whole things plays through really strong. well above your average xian folk private, the vibe here is pretty powerful… small chip to top seam. mild ring wear almost exclusively on the back. generic maroon rpc labels. generic sun-thru-trees front cover. well played wax but still a lot of life left in it. EX-/VG+.
his 2nd album. not sure what up with dropping the “h” from his name… if you dig “the call” this one is a must have too. real sparse & moody folkpsych without the bigger production of his later lps. marker scribble & old price sticker back cover. decent wax but surface noise. VG+/VG+.

private press by capital custom press. cool early example of private loner folk, though its got more of a early 60s dylan / hobo beatnik / folk blues vibe then anything acidfolk, with the exception of the long “LSD fixation” track. anyway, a fun one. great cover art too. cover has small top seem split, faint sticker stain, and moderate general wear. art still looks good. nice wax but a bit dusty.

nice brazilian original pressing with the unique cover art, totally different from the original spanish version… born in miami florida to an american father and venezuelan mother, bill split the usa to madrid spain in the early 70s. once there he quickly landed a recording deal with famous producer alain milhaud of the explosion label, and set to work on this, his sole lp release. sessions went down with an impressive cast of up to eleven players in the studio, including salvador dominguez & chema pellic (cerebrum), jess lam (jess & james), and frank rojas (sangre). one of the albums real hidden treasures, though, was the assistance of unknown texan mark gottschall, who co-wrote the title track and adds perfect vocal harmonies as well a second acoustic guitar. a finely balanced mix of sounds that drifts between throbbing electric full band groove and gentle acidfolk. when bill wants to rock, things get downright funky, with a wickedly hard-hitting rhythm section, pumping organ, scorching electric leads, and flipped out acoustic guitars all locking into some seriously tight jams. then the next minute the mood swings and you’re deep into some beautifully fragile and introspective folk meditations; often just two acoustic guitars, bill’s lyrics, and huge, angelic, vocal harmonies all weaving together into lush tapestries of sound. a few tracks fill out a more folkrock vibe with flute, autoharp, piano, slide guitar, banjo, and more. bill’s lyrics (all in english) and vocals always feel deeply sincere, which combined with his unique voice, unusual accent, and loose delivery make for one hell of a cool singer. the whole album has an air of mystical psychedelia, yet never strays far from pop craft, and there’s a real sun-blasted quality to it all that just makes you want to crank the volume… nothing amateur or lo-fi about this one, its a pro recordings and these guys have serious chops. its hard to image why it didn’t become a hit at the time. the album was released only in spain and brazil, to very little interest, and quickly became yet another great album lost to obscurity… cover is nice with just mild wear. tight seams & crisp art. just a few lite marks on the wax EX+/EX+.
hopelessly obscure & rare bootleg featuring demo version of most of the cuts from their classic debut, plus two cover versions which didn’t make the cut, although “i hear you knocking” is totally hot! also features one 1976 reunion jam. limited to only 150 copies!! crude & fragile b&w printed cover features a great band photo, and is very clean. blank black labels. vinyl has some very lite surface paper scuffs, but plenty of shine and plays as good as any micro-press bootleg you might spin. only ever seen one other copy offered, so not gonna go cheap… NM-/EX.

VG++/NM-.
just about perfect original copy of this little known & very rare late 70s french private press psych folkrock solo outing, post YVES & SERGE & VICTOR, who made a mega rare psych private a few years earlier. really great stuff with full band backing and a strong neil young vibe on many cuts. one side sung in english, one in french. only 200 copies pressed, and virtually unknown until a year or two ago. its already been reissued & getting some buzz, sooo… beautiful NM/NM.
very strange private press from these funky looking beardo economics students. pretty hard to swallow, but actually a couple winner including some cool riffs copped from the velvet underground. all tracks are pretty much straight rips on popular rock songs. some charms indeed for those on the fringe. in shrink, with insert, and original “smash capitalism” price tag!

quite scarce original 1968 sole single from this lewiston, maine all girl garage band on the tiny local label. one of the few all girl bands in action at the time who actually played all their own instruments. a side is a groovy garage/pop rocker, b side is a amazing wild fuzz guitar & organ fueled instrumental raver! way cool & way rare! super clean EX++.
really odd private press lounge / real people duo recorded live at the holiday inn! certainly not for everyone, but the insane dude action cover art & the epic 8+ minute, pill garbled, ‘elton john medley’ are pretty damn hard to resist. much loved by certain folks out there. perfect in shrink NM+/NM+.
really quite lovely debut from tortured xian druggie songstress. if you dig melancholy female folk of any variety you pretty much need this one. the first, and better, of only two albums released before her overdose in 1979.

great late-date private press canadian rural loner folkrock thats just recently starting to gain a lot of serious fans. strong back to the land, deeply rural vibes throughout. very thin cover has a very slight wave to it. NM-/EX+.
impossibly clean brazilian original pressing of their great 2nd album. way rare stereo version, which is at least ten times rarer then the much more common mono version. stereo mix sounds amazing too! awesome brazilian psych that remains under rated or just unknown by most. huge organ, great songs, english lyrics, cool production. a bit more progressive leaning and less wild then their debut, but still quite great… fragile plastic encased cover has just very minor rubbing on the plastic, as these covers always do. gold stereo sticker. beautiful labels. just a small number of micro hairlines on the wax, as clean a copy as you could ever hope to find. NM-/EX++.
totally awesome & demented UK private press. his 2nd. completely bent, brain damaged raw outsider proto-punk guitar rocker with wildly strange songs, goner vocals, etc. i guess this is what happens when a mad outcast who’s bonkers obsessed with teenagers & american rock & roll decides he’s a huge rock star and somehow has the cash to press up some wax. pretty fucking brilliant & sooo much fun… and the dude somehow snagged the best band name ever! SIGNED on back cover. general cover wear, mostly at edges. nice shinny wax. VG+/VG++.

VG+/EX.
pretty fantastic private press psych, much loved by many. easy one of the big 80s privates along with BOBB TRIMBLE, JOHNNY BLACKBURN, SIX STATION, etc. this one is probably the most rockin’ of the bunch, with a strong west coast psych sound, big full band sound, great female vocals, awesome guitars, etc. really strong all the way through, floating in that wonderful early 80s limbo. little cover wear, one pretty minor corner bend, and the very start of a tiny top seam split. real clean wax looks unplayed.

getting tough to find major label psychedelia that sits well above average. strong songs & great use of effects, fuzz, organ, etc. thick gatefold cover. pretty minor edge & ring wear. nice wax. VG++/EX-.
actually a various artists school project lp, not a band. its the third release in the LATITUDES series, made by students at a small pennsylvania community college. the first two are well known and fairly easy to find, but this one is extremely rare & known by very few, due to the fact that only 100 copies were pressed. its by far the best & most consistent of the bunch as well, featuring three beautiful female acidfolk cuts, one in particular is a total stunner with gorgeous deep floating vocals, awesome dueling acoustic guitars, sparse electric bass, and a drawn-out and totally psychedelic production quality. rounded out with a couple good male ssw folkrock cuts, and a strong and pretty unhinged solo acoustic track, and a shockingly cool short choral piece. even the couple short piano interludes are good & well placed. really really beautiful album. a real grower and much loved by the few who have actually heard it… top seam split the whole way. bottom seam split a couple inches. both are clean splits. spine is undamaged. very slight ring wear & the mostly white cover has yellowed some. wonderful b&w bird in flight drawing cover art! wax is pretty clean but its a real cheapo pressing. VG+/VG+.
german original of their strong debut with some hot guitar action from RORY GALLAGHER. great cover graphics look awesome on the fully laminated cover. 1/2” center top seam split. EX-/VG++.
original copy of this very rare private press xian garage folk rocker out of missouri. a cool raw upbeat folkrock setting with a couple crude fuzz jammers, a couple downers, and all around excellent playing. the xian vibe is thick, so be warned, but a real rewarding listen if a) you really love jesus, or b) you can get past the lyrics and into the sound. nice looking cover too. perfect archive worthy SEALED NM+ copy!
perfect copy of this weirdo crooner pop-sike garage slab. some lame soulful numbers for sure, but well worth it for two monster psych tracks on side two: & #145;fool amid the traffic’ is a wild garage psych number with crazy organs & cool fuzz, and & #145;the emperor’ is amazing space psych drift with half spoken lyrics and heavy electro processing, effects, and synth. amazing private press looking freaky black & white cover too! cover is beautiful NM in shrink with a small punch hole, vinyl is NM. original decca inner sleeve.

floating electro drone groove trancer with heavily processed guitar/bass/drums ala HARMONIA, CLUSTER, etc.. very cool screen printed red vinyl and BABY BLUE vinyl. NM-/NM-.
scarce old 300 copy euro reissue of the original “big one” in the school project bag. originally released on much loved RPC label. great stoned-out mix of underground psych, loner folk, female acid folk, etc. not all amazing, but a great trip all the way through, and the best tracks are total jewels. altered front cover. super thick wax and thick carton cover. loose slicks front & back. pretty tough to score these days, even as a reissue. NM/NM.
dutch orig in thin fragile single cover. much cheaper way to own a vintage pressing of this monstrous & amazing brit psychfolk masterpiece led by the duo of JUDY DYBLE (vocalist on the first FAIRPORT CONVENTION lp) and JACKIE McAULEY (ex-THEM). a really wonderful album that adds extra acid to the usual brit folkrock sound with twisted lyrics, great effects, fuzz bursts, etc. originally of the way collectible DAWN label, but that version will set you back big bucks so this is a great option. awesome sound. tiny sticker tear on front, super clean wax. NM-/NM.
wonderful oregon haunting rural folk psych private press. recently reissued & much loved by many. its a beautiful, mellow, deep album with sparse acoustic guitar, flute, hand drums, electric bass, etc. great late phase hippie cottage vibes for sure. cover opening was trimmed at a slight angle, so not exactly square. otherwise, just about perfect in shrink NM-/NM-.

beautiful and very rare UK original blue label stereo pressing of their 3rd album masterpiece. pre-T. REX underground pagan mystical folk psych from another realm. final album with STEVE PEREGRIN TOOK, and also their final all acoustic album, as well as their first album recorded in a 8-track studio… the combination of an increasingly turned-on vision with the possibilities of multi-tracking, all before any macho les paul posturing kicked in makes for a just about perfect album to my ears, and a long time fave ‘round here. incredible songs, mind boggling bent pixie lyrics, frantic playing, plus warm, honest, and deeply psychedelic TONY VISCONTI production. awesome JOHN PEEL read children’s story too. a must own album in any form, and this is a real sweet form to own it in. beautiful fragile laminated gatefold cover is real clean with just tiny signs of corner wear, and rubbed bottom seam. name in pen on inside gatefold. beautiful labels. few stray hairline scuff on the thick sparkling wax.

obscure & recently in demand ‘sound art’ private press. huge long metallic drones created by bowed sheet steel sculptures. taking the ideas of BERTOIA, etc. to a more dark & ominous realm. should appeal to fans of NWW, AMM, etc. as well as the usual sound art crew. a rare one. VG++/NM-.
very tough to score original pressing of this monster garage folkrock gem from the northwest. on the same mirco label that released the NEW TWEEDY BROS lp, and thats actually a pretty good reference point. great melodic psych jangler with raga breaks, echo, lovely vocals, and deep lyrics. very very rare. stunning NM condition.
little known & underrated femme folk / folkrock psych jewel on this tiny private virginia label. same label who did the much more well known MASON ‘harbor’ & POLYPHONY ‘without introduction’ lps. the handful of covers & trad. songs are well picked, and highly enjoyable… but the originals are totally amazing, especially ‘wishing well’ which is beautiful drifting gentle folkpsych with echo, flute, hand drums, etc. and ‘closer’ which is a jaw-dropping full band acidfolk rocker as good as any early 70s femme psychers you hear hyped all the time (and pay a lot more for). very cool purple on pale blue textured cover as well. totally recommended! cover has very slight adding at edges but really nice still. EX+/NM-.
charming if typical mid 60s xian beatnik folk with kids singing & some cool hand drumming on 95% of this one. not bad for what it is, but… one total monster cut with bizarre lyrics, exotica clatter, weirdo vocals, and persistent fuzz guitar soloing in the distance. a total killer that sounds like the FUGS jamming with EDEN AHBEZ! well worth the price just for the one track, but a pretty fun lp anyway, especially with the awesome super crude cover design. VG+/VG++.
rather rare collection of uk paisley underground style retro psych in very suiting day-glo cover. with THE TIMES, MARBLE STAIRCASE, THE EARWIGS, THE HIGH TIDE, MOOD SIX, THE DOCTOR, MILES OVER MATTER, THE SILENCE, and THE BARRACUDAS. NM-/NM-.

pretty rare & cool micro label post punk comp ep featuring two tracks each from JOY DIVISION, BASCZAX, and THURSDAYS. both joy division cuts are from the “unknown pleasure” sessions, but were not on the album and were only available here until the late 80s, so pretty cool item. original inner sleeve with notes. VG++/VG++.
second part of this cool three lp series highlighting the uk folk/rock/psych crossover. tracks recorded between 1963-1973 from PENTANGLE, DAVEY GRAHAM, BERT JANSCH, JOHN RENBOURN, ROY HARPER, MARTIN CARTHY, AL STEWART, JOHN & BEVERLEY MARTYN, FAIRPORT CONVENTION and more. many scuffs on vinyl but plays ok. EX/VG+.
very rare & obscure compilation of north-eastern brazilian folk music. a really cool comp from any angle, but of serious note for the inclusion of an exclusive track by LULA CORTES, ZE RAMALHO & ZE LIMEIRA. its an amazing alternate acoustic version of a cut from the PAEBIRU album, recorded during the album sessions. totally different from the electrified version on the legendary double album, this version has upfront vocals & lula’s trademark flowing tricordio, backed by seriously droned-out 6 & 12-string guitar. really awesome stuff, and if you know the power of paebiru / satwa / marconi notaro albums, you’ll know this little known track is an essential piece of the puzzle. fragile waxy laminated cover. lots of lite scuffs on wax, but nothing major and the cortes track plays great with just a little surface noise. very rare. EX-/VG+.
super obscure 3rd lp in the PERSPECTIVE (later FOLLIES BAZAAR) series released by the students at the university rhode island. for me this volume and the first one are by far the strongest of the whole series. great mix of loner folk, folk psych, and moody folkrock. some great female vocals, really great all original material, and ending with a heartbreaking neil young inspired downer full band folkrock killer. only a couple hundred copies pressed. manufacture at legendary RITE RECORDS plant. cover art is just too amazing to believe! cover & vinyl both really nice. just scattered surface marks on vinyl, plays super. highly recommended. EX-/EX-.

totally vanished original MONO copy of this massively brilliant and endlessly influential masterpiece. you know the deal, the godfathers of dope damaged avant-pop, spiky punk attitude, and psychedelic noise all at once. amazing alternate mono mix is a real treat for sure. first state cover with the emerson torso back cover (pre censor stick or airbrush job), peelable banana, and mono matrix number. cover has general ring/edge/corner wear. very small crack at spine. banana is missing the stream and looks like it was peeled and re-stuck quite a few times, its wrinkled & dirty, but at least its there. wax has numerous paper scuff and some lite marks, but nothing major. plays well. gotta love the deep, rich mono sound. getting way rare in any condition. with original inner sleeve. VG+/VG+.
nice early black-on-black skull cover, blue/silver label pressing. few small chips to spine/top seam, and mild general wear, but no heavy ring wear which is pretty rare. original inner sleeve. just minor hairlines on wax. VG++/EX-.
private press of only 100 copies made at the same times as his great first lp “people like you”. with picture sleeve! neat seam splits on fragile sleeve edges, but otherwise super clean. EX++/NM-.
really odd lp made to promote washington apples! side one is mainly decent pop about apples, sunshine, etc. but side two gets into some great original bluesy psych garage zones with longer tracks, fuzz, organs, strong female vocals, etc. pretty cool. funny cover. real cheap rather noisy pressing. VG/VG.
private chicago area combo doing country/blues covers & trad material with an odd peppy loungy electric folkrock sound. few good moments mostly due to the nice female vocals and some good electric guitar licks. totally great super crude band portrait cover art! VG++/VG++.
awesome copy of UK humorous folk on wonderful & collectible label. fragile laminated cover. starting lamination lift at spine. vinyl looks unplayed! NM-/NM-.
great long beach wasted basement garage psych private press on the much loved century custom label. totally drugged-out sound here with lots of crude fuzz, electric piano, blasted rhythms, deadpan vocals, etc. features ‘mississippi’ who later made the great oddball ‘velvet sandpaper’ lp. two versions exist, this is the 11 track version with ‘heartbreak hotel’. a few other covers including the FUGS ‘i couldn’t get high’ and the VELVET UNDERGROUND’s ‘i’m waiting for my man’! pretty awesome for an from that, or any, era, and gives you a real good idea of the themes here. great looking cover is like new fully in shrink, 100% crisp & bright. vinyl is very clean too with just a couple super lite scuffs, but theres a weird pressing flaw in the first song side one. it looks ugly but plays through fine, and doesn’t even make much noise. it’s also the worst track on the album, sort of a short loungy instro thing, so no big loss really. cover NM / side one EX- / side two NM-.
beautiful original black label stereo pressing. always trashed, this one is super clean! massively influential & undeniably great debut album. british mod garage classic, all the way… cover has a couple very small chips along spine, otherwise very minor wear only. small name in pen on back. vinyl is sparkling clean with a couple micro scuffs that do nothing. original inner sleeve. really tough to find this clean. EX+/NM-.
original orange label tower MONO pressing. if you dig biker flick soundtracks, this is an essential one. dominated by DAVIE ALLEN & THE ARROWS doing their sleazy fuzz-fest surf garage thing. pretty wicked. gotta love the peter fonda / nancy sinatra all smiles cover shot too! plays great in mono… EX-/VG+.
recently discovered private press xian folkrock. nothing mindblowing here, but its a nice listen with a mellow rural vibe and some unusual lyrics in spots. one cut is a strange heavy soulful thing with fuzz bursts, it appears on the recent “electric holyland” comp. real nice looking & very thick cover, with insert. perfect like new in shrink NM/NM.
virtually unknown private press on the much in demand century label. really awesome west coast femme folkpsych, with a totally lost, sunburnt, melancholy, wide-eyed vibe dripping all over. very cool zoned-out real people mood, but simple, folky, and catchy at the same time. some tracks are stripped down with just guitar or autoharp, but most of the album features full band electric backing to great effect. a hard one to describe, but i keep coming back to this one again & again. generic guitar/sunset cover with an intensely weird back cover portrait photo. only 225 copies pressed!! perfect SEALED NM+.
mysterious, little known & very rare xian new jersey femme private press. really a magical one for those who can get down with this type of thing. its got a definite folky coffeehouse vibe, but theres a depth & fragility here way beyond your average SSW stuff. very deep loner vibe. she’s clearly totally burnt on the hippy scene as well as the church, so she’s left quite alone with her feelings. at moments you can literally hear that she’s on verge of tears. pretty intense stuff. all solo guitar and voice other then the albums centerpiece ‘autumn’s child’ which is mindblowning psychfolk with wailing hand drums, really heavy acoustic guitar, and blasted vocals. a really monster track… not every track is a winner, but as a whole a really stunning album and a real grower full of hidden charms. its totally got the look too: heavy textured folkways type split pocket cover, with very crude yellow paper xerox warp-around paste-on art, with hand stamped ‘have a happy day’ smiley face. xerox lyric insert as well. cover has spine wear (not split), slight staining, and a tear to the xerox art about an inch square, but it misses all the art and its really quite subtle considering. vinyl has many scuffs and lite scratches, but nothing too deep and it still plays very well, better then it looks. the right person is really gonna dig this one… VG++/VG.
original pressing of this west coast cult psych private press. only 500 pressed. father yod sits out this session, letting the band take total control, and as a result this is one of their most accessible & best with some real killers. totally classic cover art, and includes the rare art inner sleeve too. sweet copy. neat 1.5 inch split to bottom seam, but otherwise only very faint wear. real clean wax & inner sleeve.

quite rare jersey private press underground new-wave/no-wave synth-pop. really cool ultra-obscure b&w cover could totally pass for a 60s psych private. marker on back, ring wear, seam splits. nice super thick wax. VG/EX+.
totally obscure & pretty cool maine xian teen garage folk / folkrock. some sappy typical duds of course, but about half the cuts are well above average with crude production, jangly tambourine, cheapo organ, drum kit, electric bass, and those wide-eyed teen vocals just off enough to be right. the few self penned tracks are obviously especially cool. ‘power to be’ is full of wild ham-fisted drumming, disjointed organ/piano interplay and pretty whacked vocals harmonies hitting almost MYSTIC ZEPHYRS 4 territory. a definite real people kiddie psych winner. great cover photo too. minor ring wear. nice wax. EX-/EX.

original yellow/green label MONO pressing of this mind melting texas garage/psych debut. 100% groundbreaking and amazing. higher minded acid punk at its best. ROKY ERIKSON sets the world on fire… cover is nice with very minimal ring & edge wear. just starting to crack a little at spine, but not split. clean back cover. small name in pen on one label. vinyl has some hairline and a few other odd marks, nothing major at all. like every first press mono theres a blemish in the wax towards the end of side one, but its no big deal. not mint but a keeper for sure with super shiny wax, and the thick, loud mono mix blasts through any of the minor flaws. totally essential, and the stereo mix doesn’t come close…VG++/VG++.
original french pressing on the vertigo I.R.I. offshoot. totally great deep krautrock trance sounds with long flowing tracks. for me its the perfect kraut sound : total cosmic trip-out but also a deep groove. sweet one! beautiful laminated single cover. pressed on heavy deep BLUE VINYL. lamination starting to lift along spine, otherwise nearly perfect. just a few very lite hairlines on vinyl.

awesome florida private press outsider acidfolk / bar rock from another dimension. really brilliant stuff, but takes some time to penetrate fully. this guy must have had some great & strange drugs on hand. a very unusual mix of stunning on-the-edge acidfolk and dosed bar room hoe-down folkrock. totally bent lyrics and a really strange but consistent vibe. the folky cuts are really amazing, and they alone should have gained this album much more of a reputation by now. a really fun, weird & deep trip, but must be taken on atlantis’ terms. totally awesome & beautiful fantasy cover art. edge wear & a little ring wear. faint sticker stain. nice wax. VG++/EX-.

a real cool piece for sound sculpture collectors! way obscure private press 10inch released by the museum of modern art, new york, to coincide with an exhibit by the artists in 1965. the vinyl itself was pressed in france, and an alternate version was sold there, but this version was packaged and (barely) sold through the museum itself in the US. packed in a fragile b&w six panel foldout folio cover with photos of all the amazing instruments & extensive notes. blank back. amazingly, this copy comes direct for the MOMA’s archive and still has the museum’s index tag affixed to the spine. other than said index tag, the very fragile cover is EX. vinyl is stunning unplayed NM+. a very rare & very cool item indeed.

NM-/NM-.
quite scarce original copy of this fantastic late date private press acidfolk jewel that has quickly become hugely in demand. easily in the same realm as BOBB TRIMBLE, JEFF EUBANK, T KAIL, etc., but equally in its own bag musically, i personally enjoy this album above any of those.. gentle hallucinogenic psychedelia with gorgeous dreamy male/female duo vocals, lush guitars, flute, synth, bongos, 12-string, electric bass, plenty of reverb, etc. total acid love-nest euphoric vibe. if not for the somewhat dated arp synth it would be very tricky to place this one in time what-so-ever. it has a early 70s feel, but without sounding at all retro. includes the very rare & beautiful thick booklet insert which has lyrics, notes, poetry, and many illustrations printed on thick textured art paper. top copy. booklet is NM. cover has some tiny tiny signs of wear but nearly perfect. same for the vinyl.

beautiful original copy of this exceptional & very rare xian folkrock / garage / psych private press. only 300 copies pressed. top of the heap for this kind of thing without question. other then one lame blues song (slightly redeemed by some pretty hot electric guitar) every track is a complete winner. the sound is quite varied, with each track a unique experience. all together, an utterly charming album best taken as a whole. ranging from moody melancholy electric folkrock with chiming velvet underground like electric guitars, to unhinged raw fuzzed-out garage rock, to glassy-eyed zoned-out folk. both the male & female vocals are wonderfully youthful, sincere, and totally earnest. loads of awesome cheap go-go organ, perfect raw garage production, nice harmonies, unique song writing, and the drummer is nuts! really really cool album, with lovely obscure-o cover art to match. very very minor storage warp which has zero effect on play. cover fully in shrink. NM-/NM-.

as atlantic records partner and president jerry wexler said to phil spector (who released the lp via a distribution deal with warner bros.): ‘thank you for the test pressing on lenny, i think it’s fantastic. many of the bits in this lp surpass in brilliance, insight and compassion anything i’ve heard of lenny’s. i had come to the point where his juridical musings were beginning to put me off, and i was beginning to his obsession with his trial (and trials) as a bore. i have a new insight. lenny really achieves new dimensions as a prophet when he addresses himself to the nature of the law, the judge and the policemen in the same sense as the old testament prophets did when the attacked kings and commoners alike, exposing the unending cop-outs and rationalizations which with people protect their paltry possessions and nurse their hard-won neuroses and precious foibles. those in power are better able to perpetuate their grip on their baggage, both material and psychic, than those they oppress; but both haves and have-nots are uptight in this regard. when lenny is really popping and cooking, as he is in this lp, i get so turned on that i get a euphoric kick. it is a case of terrific rapport and shared viewpoint, and the electric like viewpoint, and an electric-like phenomenon and awareness takes place, perhaps what james joyce refers to as an “epiphany” in portrait of the artist. lenny induced this in me many times in clubs, but i don’t remember it happening listening to his records until this time.’… perfect SEALED NM+ original copy with very small cutout.

super rare french private press underground basement folk psych kinda like BOOK OF AM on a lo-fi bad ergot trip! totally raw, damp, dark vibes but with real strong energy & intensity. trad folk delivered like wild pagan romps, mixed with deeply psychedelic acidfolk originals. all acoustic but really blown-out with guitars, autoharp, banjo male/female and great mystical flute work. all english lyrics. pretty unknown album but this one leaves a strong impression on everybody lucky enough to hear it. future reissue on time-lag records… very small pressing with crude screen printed cover. this copy has the very rare paste-on back cover insert. cover has general age wear, sticker stain, small top & spine splits. nice wax with just hairlines & lite scuffs. cheap pressing but plays well.

nice original copy of this monster rare deranged heavy french acid psych scorcher! really insane album thats a total top shelf item for heavy psych collectors. chico’s vocal are downright out of this world, babbling & screaming stream of consciousness madness and senseless, wordless free expression. think DAMO SAZUKI and MALCOLM MOONEY rolled into one face-tripping frenchman and you’ll be pretty close. the band is equally unhinged with relentless hendrix worshiping guitar pyrotechnics, driving bass, and heavy-ass drums… mix that all with production & wild studio/tape effects/loops from avant genius JEAN-PIERRE RAWSON and you’re in for one hell of a powerful trip. stunning full color (not like the recent reissue) fragile laminated flip-back cover. cover has a tight small bottom seam split, beginning very minor spine crack, and a small half inch tear at opening. all barely noticeable, and looks just about perfect from the front. label are near perfect with a couple faint spindle marks on either side. heavy wax has a handful of lite hairlines & paper scuffs, but full of shine and full fidelity preserved. nice keeper copy for sure. very rare, unique and recommended album. EX+/EX.
great, rare, and still little know sole 45 from the duo of CHRIS DUCEY and CRAIG SMITH. chris ducey of course was the original dude behind the amazing “songs of protest and anti-protest” lp, but his version was never released, only the BOBBY JAMESON version (credited to chris ducey / chris lucey) and craig smith popped up again in the early 70s as MAITREYA KALI, dropped the epic loner psych “apache/inca” 2lp masterpiece, and vanished for good… so, this is basically the first chapter of a long, mysterious, and really wild story. the craig smith penned ‘i need you’ is pretty tame so-cal pop showing obvious beach boys inspiration. not bad, but nothing special… but chris ducey’s ‘isha’ is an amazing fevered eastern psych jammer that keys right into the most high energy moves on ‘apache/inca’. hot stuff. ‘isha’ side is EX- / ‘i need you’ side is VG+.

way obscure private press unknown 2nd lp from this maine folk duo. their first and only other lp ‘for a few lovin’ moments’ is great soft folk with moody/dark undercurrents and has gained a following. this 2nd lp is far rarer, but in more of a live lounge mode. still, cool if you’re a fan and theres a couple solid originals. very obscure looking cover. mostly white cover is kind of dirty. very cheap pressing. VG+/VG+.

extremely rare arizona private press rural downer acidfolk that is hardly ever offered. desperate sounding vocals, tabla, haunting flute, female backing vocals in a few spots, and some nice acidic electric guitar weaving through in places. not totally striking on first listen, but seems to grow quickly on all who hear it. seriously crude cover art is too much to believe! some info from the artist himself : “mike craig daughter of the moon reordered at desert sound recording studio (1973) released new years eve (1974) after the success of mike’s first album the producers decided that a second album was needed to be put out in a hurry. they determined to take mikes music in a different direction. the album cover was to be controversial and odd so artist/model maggie blackburn was commissioned her cover turned out to be odder than was hoped for. there was no time to change it so it went to press. the all female back up band (cantaloupe island band) was brought into the studio and the album was recorded (in the early 1970’s female bands were considered novelty acts and were not considered to be serious musicians) mike was frustrated with the direction his music was going in. by the time the recording was done mike severed all ties with this band and became reclusive. this album was doomed when it went to the record pressing plant the first stampers had a flaw on them and an unknown number were pressed with the flaw in them before there quality control people found it. by this time the producers of the album were mad at mike for not wanting to work with or go on the road with the girl band. so they pulled there money out leaving mike with the rest of the bills. mike went to the record plant and took the stampers so no more of the albums could be made. the record plant had shipped out possibly 200 of these albums before mike was able to stop them.” … so there you have it. only 200 or less copies pressed! solid cover with only mild general wear. perfect labels. vinyl is virtually unplayed, but has a handful of lite hairlines & paper scuffs from poor storage over the years. solid copy for sure, and not likely to be popping up for sale again any time soon. VG++/VG++.

super strange tennessee private press from 1980 that has some real charms. sexually confused drug addled amateur folkrock with nature concerns and some rather deep, moody, and very cool tracks. its a fun unique listen all through. i dig this one, especially the way its simultaneously early 70s throw-back and proto mid 80s lo-fi girl folk. not many albums can make that claim… awesome cover art too. VG+/EX+.
another scarce private press college comp ala PERSPECTIVE, RIGHT OF LITTLE REST, TOOL SHED, etc. this ones from earlham college, richmond indiana. from nice trad folk (mattie groves, lark in the morning, etc.) to cool downer folk originals, and even a cool avant electronics piece. a few real gems, a few duds, but over all a cool one. nice ultra obscure crude b&w cover. pressing is poor causing slight warping, but it plays fine. only a couple hundred or less pressed. VG++ /VG+.
stunning original copy of this private press teen acid garage monster. one of the best in the bag, which has had a huge rep since the dawn of interest in obscure garage/psych with good reason. snotty howling brain-dead vocals, relentless ripping fuzz/wah guitar, crisp & loud grooving organ, echo effects, pounding caveman drums, acid lyrics, etc. the handful of fast fuzz psych blasters are total crushers. to my ears the slower numbers work well in the context also, giving some variation and still keeping plenty of raw edge, especially ‘flower girl’ with its beautiful chiming bell melody. i don’t think this guy could sing softly if he tried… set apart from 90% of other such tiny private press lps by the amazingly high quality recording and pressing which is total top notch. amazing crisp clear fidelity, both in the actually recording & in the impressively hi-fi pressing, which is a pretty powerful combination. this one jumps out of your speakers and right up into your face. only 500 copies pressed so always a rare one. amazing thick full color metallic printed cover art adds to the vibe perfectly. high quality thick wax too. cover is amazingly perfect in full shrink. shrink has a small tear on back where the cover was signed by grady pope in 1985, with the shrink then clear taped neatly back into place. pristine vinyl. NM/NM.

quite rare MONO PROMO original. way tougher to score then the stereo version, and far superior sounding to these ears. totally killer LA garage/psych burner with great pop sense, serious avant learnings, wicked acid fuzz, awesome effects, and amazingly good use of string/horn arrangements on a few cuts, which is quite a feat itself. the whole thing gushes with cool sounds: garagy organ, harpsichord, strange timings, off-kilter harmonies, dissonance mingling with pop hooks, driving rhythms, pounding bass, even a homemade ‘plasmatar’ that spews burning square wave raga fuzz through the relentless acid psych of ‘mirrors of wood’. front man warren hansen was clearly just busting with creativity. overlooked or underrated by some, but to these ears this kills 90% of the mega-hyped, mega-bucks psych lps out there. think early VELVET UNDERGROUND jamming west cost garage pop ala LOVE and you’ll have a hint of the sound here. awesome. cover has printed promo marking on rear cover. bottom few inches on cover have some moisture damage, mainly just some mildew stops and minor discoloration which blends into the front cover art pretty easily. otherwise a nice cover with just some ring wear on back. hairline scuffs on the wax, but plays great. these mono promo copies total kill the stereo version!

top condition original swirl label german pressing of their 2nd and final album. a real wild underground psych folk trip. folky INCREDIBLE STRING BAND inspired flights of fancy with big doses of fuzzy electric guitar soloing setting this album far apart from their more gentle debut and adding a distinctly acid flavor. a pretty unique sound all things considered, but will certainly appeal to fans of FRESH MAGGOTS or SUBWAY. packaging in one of the coolest lp covers ever created : a fragile fully laminated di-cut multi-panel double-sided fold-out piece of art that is as strikingly beautiful as it is ingeniously designed. notoriously easy to damage, this one is amazingly clean with just one very subtle tiny 1/2inch tear. vinyl is equally clean with just the slightest tiny hairline here & there. NM-/NM-.

original 1973 private pressing. totally wonderful conceptual electronic / folk / psych epic. one man’s (bill holt) introspective home studio labor of love. some folks can’t hang with the sound, but i love this one. two side-long tracks (and long sides too) of intricately layered tape samples, electronic tones, moog, acoustic guitar & vocals. they’re actual songs, though, not experimental noodling. something like bedroom acidfolk stretched to the point of minimalism and them dosed with period samples, which are clearly deeply considered and precisely placed, not just tossed around. cool stuff… lite ring wear. sorry, no insert. side one has couple ugly marks from getting dropped on the turntable spindle i’d guess: they’re wide marks not sharp scratches. plays through with just mild surface noise, which is pretty inevitable anyway since the sides are very long & very quiet. side two is nearly perfect. VG++ cover, VG+ side one, NM- side two.
private press gentle xian female folk with two voices, acoustic guitar, piano. pretty nice stuff. EX-/VG++.
red label stereo pressing. quite rare version before the name was switched to LUCEY. truly wild story behind this album, as most of you reading this probably know by know. this is actually BOBBY JAMESON. the label had this album in the works with CHRIS DUCEY, but ducey backed out at the last moment, with the covers already printed… so they called bobby in to record the album instead, writing original songs that were already titled by ducey. a handful of copies were released with the “ducey” title, before the label switched it to “lucey”. around the same time the real ducey cut the rare & amazing CHRIS AND CRAIG 7inch with CRAIG SMITH aka MAITREYA KALI… would love to have heard his version of this album… oh, and word is thats BRIAN JONES on the cover! anyway, although the backstory is pretty great, its really the music thats the best part. its a lonesome westcoast moody folkrock gem, through & through… cover has few inches of splitting to top & bottom seem. one corner bend. tiny tear on front, two slightly larger ones on back. pretty decent all together, and real cool item. VG+/VG+.
nice copy of this massive career overview with a bunch of great rarities mixed in. recordings span 1962-1981, but heavy on the 60s stuff. each lp has a printed inner sleeve with track by track notes, plus a nice thick booklet. all wax is between EX+ and NM, box is EX+. not as easy to find as it used to be, especially in good shape.

totally killer & little known washington teen private press gem. these young brothers nail the late 70s male teen ethos like few others. a great mix of fuzzed-up, psych tinged rockers, wide-eyed hazy ballads, power-pop, and loose, raw party funk grooves. heavy doses of cheap fuzz petals, sweet sweet heart tugging vocals, dreamy floating keys, big grins, magically simple but effective bass/drums chug, and amazing/crude riffing galore. every song is great and starry-eyed sincere like only a couple small town teens in the late 70s could do it… the ultimate summer evening beer buzz sentimental trip for sure. recorded in the shed of their parent’s farm! you just sorta need to hear this one to believe it. maybe not everyone’s trip, but i’ve seen some folks flip-out for this one, and its a huge fave ‘round here. gonna be a future biggy no doubt. highly recommended. flat & clean SEALED with just one very mildly banged corner.
actually credited to DON, JOE & ELDON but its the same rad kids who made the awesome DREAMIN’ WILD lp. same killer moody rural teenage bedroom rock sound as on the fantastic lp, but recorded a year earlier. pretty rad. unplayed! NM.

recently discovered & increasingly highly rated & in demand private press ssw folkrock with some psychy vibes. really solid album, up there with BOBB TRIMBLE for quality as far as 80s privates go. some really amazing songs, great vocals, and a cool vibe all over. great weird cover art as well. only 500 copies pressed. SEALED MINT.
very rare and little know georgia private press. deep & fragile late night mystical mood. definite religious vibes, but definitely not xian, instead having quite a cultish atmosphere that sets this one well apart from just about anything else. odd instrumentation including mandolin, flute, guitar-synth, piano, etc. along with more typical 6 & 12 string acoustic guitar and such. male & female vocals. highly gentle, melodic and trance inducing stuff. great bizarre b&w ‘brain’ cover art too! just about perfect fully in shrink copy with just handful of tiny mildew spots under shrink. sparking wax has a tiny storage edge warp that does nothing.

VG++/VG+.
monster rare original 1966 MONO pressing of holy grail level PA teen garage classic. no need to hype this one, as it should be well know to most, as its been well loved since the dawn of garage enthusiasm, and already reissued way back in 1983. apparently pretty tough to find even when new in 1966, as it was a very small single pressing on a regional private/micro label. one of the strongest openings of any lp of this type, starting with the ferocious version of “fight fire” thats a top level chugging raw fuzzed-up garage classic, right down to the tweaked feedback/tape delay surge of the opening seconds. this is followed by an equally strong band original for one wicked back-to-back lift-off. the whole album is great from there, if not quite as in your face. good dark moody ballads mix with high energy rockers, all with that very special ‘66 sound. the bright & beautiful front cover, mysterious back cover without even song titles, and the great colorful label design totally seal the deal. a true monster. front cover very very clean barely any wear. neat 2inch top seam split and some mild edge/corner wear. white areas on back cover slightly yellowed with age, but not bad at all. nice clean labels. surface paper scuff marks on the wax front being taken out of the inner sleeve for 40 years, but its all superficial stuff. this lp got played a lot, but was never abused. plays fantastic! EX-/VG+.

very cool & very rare brazilian private press hardly known by anybody until the shadoks reissue last year. great stuff from recife, the home of LULA CORTES, ZE RAMALHO, AVE SANGRIA, etc. sunbaked folk psych pop magic. i’m told it was never commercially for sale, only sold at an art gallery. always trashed if it turns up at all, this copy is very nice! thin fragile laminated cover is almost perfect. vinyl has a some scattered marks but nice full gloss.

super rare original first press / first version of their debut later rereleased simply as “the fugs first album” on ESP-DISK a couple years later. all time classic NYC underground folk psych dope grope beatnik freak masterpiece. less hyped, but for me as much of a cornerstone as “the velvet underground and nico” or “the psychedelic sounds of the the 13th floor elevators” for its general blowing-things-wide-open factor. recorded by HARRY SMITH. featuring THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS. unique MONO mix thats different even from the ESP MONO version. awesome folkways style double pocket leather textured cover with heavy wraparound paste-on art. includes the always missing original insert! vinyl has some lite paper scuff and a few lite scratches, but nothing major and really plays well. super clean cover with crisp clean graphics and just a faint name in marker on the back.

SEALED NM/NM.
original yellow label pressing of this very rare whimsical baroque guy/girl folkrock duo. gentle and lush sounds with crystalline production, big arrangements, and an all star backing band including VAN DYKE PARKS on harpsichord and an early appearance of RY COOTER laying down some spot-on electric slide guitar. truly stunning front cover artwork has barely a speck of ring wear. very clean in general with large ‘demonstration – not for sale’ stamp and small price sticker residue on back. side one has only some minor lite scuffs, side two has more lite marks and one lite zigzag needle scratch, so call it strong VG++ side one, VG+ side two.

awesome original copy of this very rare & really great slab of basque progressive folk psych. stunning electrified folkrock setting with beautiful femme vocals, sounding nearly straight out of the early 70s uk scene, ala TRADER HORNE, SPIRIGUNS, FAIRPORT CONVENTION, but with a unique spanish flair. amazing heavy laminated gatefold cover and including the very rare thick booklet insert. super clean top copy here. a tiny bit of wear on two corners, and a few ultra-lite stray hairlines on wax only. as clean as you’ll ever find. NM/NM.
little known new england late-date private press loner folk psych, late 70s or maybe 1980. took me a few spins to get into this one as it doesn’t open real strong, but it really takes off with cool electric guitars, rural moves, electric piano, and a strong neil young influence popping up with good effect. cool cover too, its totally got the right look. with lyric insert. cover has mild ring wear & clear tape along most of the top seam. some age spots on the wax but looks barely played. VG+/NM-.
very rare original pressing of the sole release by this arty post-hardcore group featuring FUGAZI members. only 1000 copies pressed. packaged in a manilla envelope with paste-on art. tons of feedback, tape loops, etc. pretty far out for these dudes. ultra-fragile cover has splitting seam & general dirty/wear. vinyl is well played, but still sounds good as its a loud, lo-fi beast anyway.

dutch pressing in an alternate laminated cover. VG++/VG+.
way obscure early 70s private press lounge psych. male/female vocals. pretty typical covers scene for the most part, with a couple total duds, but one real highlight in the extended “ramblin’ man” with a hot endlessly extended dueling electric guitar solo and frantic amped-up drumming. if the whole album sounded like this it’d be a total rural / southern guitar psych killer, and totally worthwhile for this track alone. some other good moments as well. great thick cover looks like another generic sunset photo at first glance, but its actually a painting. great loser band photos on back. very little info. cheapo pressing looks a little weird & hazy, plays fine. VG+/VG++.
real nice copy of scarce irish micropress heavy psych / progfolk lp. probably their best, with some wild heavy fuzz guitar/organ moves! gatefold cover with original art inner sleeve. EX–/EX–.
really nice canadian private press rural acidfolk with full band, loose feel, female backing vox, etc. great suiting cover art too! cover looks good with just minor general wear. vinyl is much played with various mark. mostly surface stuff but a couple worse needle marks. some surface noise but still a good player copy. very slight warp does nothing. VG+/VG.
great legit reissue of new zealand fuzz & wah fueled heavy acid guitar psych power trio monster. probably at their peak here. heavy 60s style cover. fully in shrink NM/EX+.
way rare & utterly brilliant debut from true american visionary michael hurley (“mike” at this point). although it would be over six years between this album and “armchair boogie” in 1971, it is quite clear michael had a clear & unique vision of his own brand of folk music even at this young age (only in his early 20s). these are deeply wonderful & timeless recordings that deserve a place in the history books. finally reissued on vinyl this year, but sooo tough to score as an original, and a very cool artifact on all levels. essential… cover is very clean overall. spine looks like it was once taped. tape is gone, but spine is yellowed from it. no idea why it was there to start with since the spine is undamaged. date & name in ballpoint pen top right corner. small corner bend bottom right corner. sadly, no insert. vinyl has only faint storage marks and a few ultra lite long scuffs. typically cheap folkways pressing, so this copy sounds as good as any you’ll find. name in pen on one label.

real weird on here… credited only to zager & evans “with others” but side two of the lp is the full first side of the awesome J.K. & CO. “SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER” lp, which is a classic slice of teen dreamer psych. so, half an original of a killer lp for way less cash. promo copy with sticker on cover. VG++/EX+.
way rare BLOOD RED WAX WHITE LABEL PROMO original pressing of their 2nd album, the follow up to their masterpiece debut ‘vacant world’. this ones something of a different trip, but still plenty of charms and some lingering moody dark angst and fuzz guitar splashes. quite rare in this form, and the fidelity of the red wax promo pressing is mindblowing. front cover art is clean & bright, but seams are worn & splitting. mild foxing on back cover & white labels. vinyl has various scuffs & marks, including a couple feelable ones, but amazingly the incredible pressing plays nearly perfect. VG+/VG+.
original press of long time psych fave with backing from BOHEMIAN VENDETTA. everybody seems to be a fan of this one, and its held up well over a lot of years and hype. there’s a real starry-eyed quality here that just doesn’t pop up on a lot of these “psych” records…. beautiful copy still in shrink with just a (fairly large) cut corner. vinyl played a couple times at most and would be perfect if not for some slight storage haze. NM-/EX+.
cool educational album of indian classical music theory / instruction. with notes. great cover design. library stickers on back, otherwise clean. EX/EX.
original YELLOW LABEL PROMO MONO pressing of his first proper lp. the story is an epic one, but this is the guy who made the CHRIS DUCEY / CHRIS LUCEY album a couple years earlier (which actually had a uk release under his real name & with a different title.) the sound here isn’t far from the great ducey / lucey album, but more baroque with typical CURT BOETTCHER production. nice stuff. lots of marks on wax, still plays better then it looks. VG+/VG.
top copy of this very rare and mysterious french private press acidfolk beauty. backing band features a member of heavy french prog group ARCANE V. super fragile hushed late night mood that really doesn’t sound like much else. nylon string acoustic guitar, xylophone, flute, etc. unusual arrangements all through, always simple yet strange. lyric are all in french, but the vocals are soft & lovely. one very sweet meditative electric guitar track too. really cool one for the right listener. very fragile laminated cover has just super lite corner wear. thick board printed insert is perfect. vinyl has just some faint storage marks and a couple paper sleeve scuffs. about as clean a copy as you’ll ever find. NM-/NM-.
original BLACK LABEL MONO pressing of their pre-GRACE SLICK debut, with SKIP SPENCE on the drums! still underrated compared to their later lps, but a great west coast garagy folk rocker that might just blow you away when you hear it with its original thick, powerful, mono mix sound. cover has some ring wear & dirt, but no real damages. vinyl has seen a lot of play but still sounds pretty great in mono. VG+/VG.
self released collection of singles & rare tracks. pretty great seattle melodic psych/indie/whatever with nice femme vocals, loads of vintage synth, fuzz, etc. gatefold cover. NM-/NM-.

extremely rare southern california acetate lp that could very well be one-of-a-kind, and its a good one too. this is not the well known british artist with the same name… totally mellow laurel canyon / topanga valley lonesome ssw folk / folkrock with strong original songs, good warm vocals & nice guitar. mostly just the guy singing and acoustic guitar, but with occasional great female backing vocals, second guitar, sparse piano, flute, violin, tambourine, etc. adding some welcome variation. everything is nicely loose, but wouldn’t be a stretch at all to hear this was a canned major label project. not mind-blowing, and while there are a few pretty haunting tracks its not “downer” either, just a real nice dose of that sweet soft introspective melancholy westcoast sunset sound. i dig it, and its a grower… hand typed labels. MONO pressing. various marks on wax but nothing major and plays really well the whole way through, especially for an acetate. heavy textured plain black cover. cool item. EX/VG++.
uk original press. rather strange lp on many levels: if the mix of christmas themes and mod beat psych isn’t enough to get you curious, the cover photos of the band, dressed in full SS gear, inside christmas ornaments, should do the trick. all weirdness aside, mostly a pretty good lp! laminated flipback cover. VG++/VG++.
long gone shadoks reissue of this mega rare & great japanese acid folk private press. for me the best japanese reissue on the label. a great mix of deep folk moods, acidic fuzz leads, a few rockers, all english vocals, really great fun/surreal/weird lyrics. instantly enjoyable & just grows on you with repeated spins. tiny corner bends & the very faintest starting cover wear. vinyl & insert just about perfect. recommended.

totally unknown and quite great west coast private press. self recorded in various bedrooms in palo alto, california. essentially a solo endeavor with one friend adding excellent drums to a few tracks. floating, introspective loner folkrock with psychedelic flashes. filled with beautiful layered guitar tapestries enhanced by understated but persistent use of phasing, backwards effects, echo, fuzz, reverb, etc. really magical post-hippy west coast guitar action for sure. the vocals are warm & deep and float through the music perfectly. primitive by nature for sure, but the home production job is top notch. solid all through, and 2/3rds of the tracks are truly amazing. serious grower qualities upon repeated listening, with many sweet subtleties. the stark b&w cover art captures the urban loner mood perfectly. recommended. pristine SEALED NM+ with insert.

real sweet tan label original copy of this rather amazing lp thats been getting a lot of attention since the NEW AGE ‘ALL AROUND’ lost recordings lp was finally released a couple years back. a pretty magical mix of powerful stoned folk blues with eastern mystical raga elements perfectly integrated. a totally groundbreaking sound for the early date, and a cornerstone of folk psychedelia for sure. this was his sole release of the era, coming out just months before his very early death. highly recommended album and just getting tougher to score. tiny punch hole, small corner bends/wear, and an 1inch bottom seam split, but otherwise super clean with beautiful crisp cover art. near perfect wax. oh, and sounds WAY better then the recent bootleg reissue! EX++/NM.
original copy of this super cool & rare lp, one of the most unusual of its type from the era. could go on & on about this one, but think lo-fi intelligent dorm room garage folk through a crude new-wave filter and you’ll be close. really strange, demented, fun, catchy, raw, thoughtful, dumb, etc. all at the same time. very small private pressing and it seems all but 50 copies were destroyed by the band. very crude cover with wrap-around paste-on xerox cover.

really cool & quite obscure private DIY label release that doesn’t turn up much. 1000 copies pressed. early ones had totally hand made covers, and this is one of those. blank white cover with extensive hand stamping & colored marker embellishments, making it look like some far out bootleg but its actually a legit release. includes a 3 page insert that totally breaks down every angle of the albums creation, including itemized release costs personal, recording gear, mastering, label philosophy, etc. a pretty inspired little package for & a true artifact of the era. usually trashed, this one is really nice! cover very clean & white with just a small name in pen. was sealed with marking tape at open, maybe came that way? just a few hairlines on the wax. name in pen on label.

awesome original copy of monster rare top shelf west coast private press beauty. highest (6) rarity rating in hans pokora’s book, plus the “masterpiece” symbol. one of our all time fave private press artifacts. really great rural, stoned folkrock psych with a strong basement vibe all through. the sound is acoustic based, but with full band backing adding organ, drums, electric guitar, etc. really deep down & out mood, pained vocals, perfect wobbly harmonies, and a little country folk flavor. very charming homemade production with a great real people feeling. every song is great, but its hard to pick a standout track. the whole thing is really on the edge, with songs taking odd turns when you least expect it. quite unique & really fantastic. certainly in my top 5 US privates! signed by david lamb on the shrink. cover has a few tiny discolorations on the white back, but otherwise perfect SEALED NM.

very obscure spokane, wa. private press xian psych. an unusual album that adds lots of sax to a solid westcoast acidrock sound. not jazz or fusion, or really even horn rock, just psych with lots of sax as another layer to the sound. it actually works pretty well, and in the context makes for a unique musical personally. great guitar work all through. these guys ‘converted’ WILSON McKINLEY! great strange heavy gatefold fantasy cartoon cover art. cover has general wear. lots of lite marks on wax but nothing major. name in pen on label.

2nd private press album from this canadian. his first was downer folk, but here he’s in a rather strange & uniquely effective goner lounge psych mode with full band, lots of keys, some charmed femme vocals, and jazz tinged electric guitar. definite outsider sound here. some makes me think this is what HACKAMORE BRICK would sound like if they got totally dusted and turned up as a bar band 6 years later… anyway, takes a few spins to absorb, but a real worthwhile trip. tiny storage warp that does nothing. in shrink. NM/NM.

beautiful SEALED original of their mighty second album with the wild side-long ‘revelation’. another total classic from ARTHUR LEE and co. this came out of a pile of all mid 60s first pressings so very confident this is tan/gold label rather then the later red label pressing. its got the right look & feel too. no cuts, bends, tears, etc. super crispy & flat. SEALED NM/S.
amazing STILL SEALED MONO original 1966 pressing of the amazing debut from ARTHUR LEE and co. totally classic slice of cali garage magic. everybody goes on and on about ‘forever changes’ but for my money this is just as great, easily top of the heap for ‘66 major label garage lps, and the mono mix kills the stereo. usually trashed, rarely clean, and just about never sealed! neat cut corner bottom right, original price sticker (5 for $1.38!) crispy, clean & flat, barely even any wear on the shrink. SEALED NM/S.
original copy of this totally amazing & much in demand downer folk psych masterpiece. really can’t think of many as deep, sad, and beautiful as this one. ultra smooth booze soaked deep vocals, intense melancholy, stoned-out atmosphere, lifted ragas, sitar, 12-string, autoharp, tamboura, etc. totally unique & massively recommended. whole first side is deep acidfolk ssw stuff, second side goes all out stoned raga jamming. includes a color repro of the often missing insert. mindblowing stanley mouse cover art seals the deal. cover has a very minor starting split/bend to one corner and only the very faintest wear otherwise. very clean graphics. vinyl is nearly pristine unplayed. beautiful copy of this essential album.

original private pressing of this ultra stoned-out teenage garage psych beast. only 250 copies pressed. wasted vocals, blazing up-front organ, frantic drumming, etc. nice chiming guitar sound. some cool surprising use of flute & massively echoed drums in spots… not trashed but certainly not for mint freaks. cover has fully split top seam, repaired from the inside with clear tape. general edge wear, white is somewhat yellowed, and bottom right corner is bent about 1inch. amazing b&w art remains very sharp. includes the cool custom fidelity inner sleeve. metallic labels are very clean. vinyl is well used with many surface scuffs and a handful of lite and not so lite scratches. still an enjoyable listen, but there is surface noise throughout. still a pretty sweet & seriously rare slab at a fraction of the cost of a mint copy (if you can find one).

mega rare west coast deep loner/downer acidfolk rock with great moody intense vocals, wonderful songs, and powerful bass/drums backing. amazing and wild reverbed acoustic guitars flying everywhere through the whole album. one of the only full lps pressed on this mainly garage 45 label, micro quantities made, likely less then 100 pressed. really fantastic album that’s a personal fave and remains too overlooked… well used copy but cleans ones go for $1500+ and are almost never offered. cover has sticker tear / rubbed area, corner crease, and heavy edge wear & splitting. very little ring wear, though, so not looking too bad from the front or back. vinyl has many hairlines & a handful of scratches, but nothing too deep. first 30 seconds of each side has lots of noise, but the fidelity improves quickly and its a decent player copy of a true rarity. VG/VG.
bronze label original press of what is essentially the 2nd SERPENT POWER album, and the rarer of the two. its nearly as good too, though more subdued, and interspersed with david’s poetry. the poetry actually works quite well in this context, and the duos vocals are as sweet as ever. ‘pure of place’ is a total gem with a perfect little fuzz solo. nice clean cover but small price in marker top right corner. side one EX, side two VG+. plays real nice.

rare & rather lovely femme xian loner folk on legendary & much sought after RPC custom label. like the best xian music, the vibe here is spiritual & introspective rather then preachy or in your face. all original songs, warm sweet young vocals, nice acoustic guitar playing, which is often finger picked. poetic lyrics with a strong lonesome melancholic mood on the majority of the album, and the whole things plays through really strong. well above your average xian folk private, the vibe here is pretty powerful… small chip to top seam. mild ring wear almost exclusively on the back. generic maroon rpc labels. generic sun-thru-trees front cover. well played wax but still a lot of life left in it.

nice brazilian original pressing with the unique cover art, totally different from the original spanish version… born in miami florida to an american father and venezuelan mother, bill split the usa to madrid spain in the early 70s. once there he quickly landed a recording deal with famous producer alain milhaud of the explosion label, and set to work on this, his sole lp release. sessions went down with an impressive cast of up to eleven players in the studio, including salvador dominguez & chema pellic (cerebrum), jess lam (jess & james), and frank rojas (sangre). one of the albums real hidden treasures, though, was the assistance of unknown texan mark gottschall, who co-wrote the title track and adds perfect vocal harmonies as well a second acoustic guitar. a finely balanced mix of sounds that drifts between throbbing electric full band groove and gentle acidfolk. when bill wants to rock, things get downright funky, with a wickedly hard-hitting rhythm section, pumping organ, scorching electric leads, and flipped out acoustic guitars all locking into some seriously tight jams. then the next minute the mood swings and you’re deep into some beautifully fragile and introspective folk meditations; often just two acoustic guitars, bill’s lyrics, and huge, angelic, vocal harmonies all weaving together into lush tapestries of sound. a few tracks fill out a more folkrock vibe with flute, autoharp, piano, slide guitar, banjo, and more. bill’s lyrics (all in english) and vocals always feel deeply sincere, which combined with his unique voice, unusual accent, and loose delivery make for one hell of a cool singer. the whole album has an air of mystical psychedelia, yet never strays far from pop craft, and there’s a real sun-blasted quality to it all that just makes you want to crank the volume… nothing amateur or lo-fi about this one, its a pro recordings and these guys have serious chops. its hard to image why it didn’t become a hit at the time. the album was released only in spain and brazil, to very little interest, and quickly became yet another great album lost to obscurity… cover is nice with just mild wear. tight seams & crisp art. just a few lite marks on the wax EX+/EX+.

really odd private press lounge / real people duo recorded live at the holiday inn! certainly not for everyone, but the insane dude action cover art & the epic 8+ minute, pill garbled, ‘elton john medley’ are pretty damn hard to resist. much loved by certain folks out there. perfect in shrink NM+/NM+.
really quite lovely debut from tortured xian druggie songstress. if you dig melancholy female folk of any variety you pretty much need this one. the first, and better, of only two albums released before her overdose in 1979.

impossibly clean brazilian original pressing of their great 2nd album. way rare stereo version, which is at least ten times rarer then the much more common mono version. stereo mix sounds amazing too! awesome brazilian psych that remains under rated or just unknown by most. huge organ, great songs, english lyrics, cool production. a bit more progressive leaning and less wild then their debut, but still quite great… fragile plastic encased cover has just very minor rubbing on the plastic, as these covers always do. gold stereo sticker. beautiful labels. just a small number of micro hairlines on the wax, as clean a copy as you could ever hope to find. NM-/EX++.
totally awesome & demented UK private press. his 2nd. completely bent, brain damaged raw outsider proto-punk guitar rocker with wildly strange songs, goner vocals, etc. i guess this is what happens when a mad outcast who’s bonkers obsessed with teenagers & american rock & roll decides he’s a huge rock star and somehow has the cash to press up some wax. pretty fucking brilliant & sooo much fun… and the dude somehow snagged the best band name ever! SIGNED on back cover. general cover wear, mostly at edges. nice shinny wax. VG+/VG++.

VG+/EX.
pretty fantastic private press psych, much loved by many. easy one of the big 80s privates along with BOBB TRIMBLE, JOHNNY BLACKBURN, SIX STATION, etc. this one is probably the most rockin’ of the bunch, with a strong west coast psych sound, big full band sound, great female vocals, awesome guitars, etc. really strong all the way through, floating in that wonderful early 80s limbo. little cover wear, one pretty minor corner bend, and the very start of a tiny top seam split. real clean wax looks unplayed. VG++/NM-.
getting tough to find major label psychedelia that sits well above average. strong songs & great use of effects, fuzz, organ, etc. thick gatefold cover. pretty minor edge & ring wear. nice wax. VG++/EX-.
actually a various artists school project lp, not a band. its the third release in the LATITUDES series, made by students at a small pennsylvania community college. the first two are well known and fairly easy to find, but this one is extremely rare & known by very few, due to the fact that only 100 copies were pressed. its by far the best & most consistent of the bunch as well, featuring three beautiful female acidfolk cuts, one in particular is a total stunner with gorgeous deep floating vocals, awesome dueling acoustic guitars, sparse electric bass, and a drawn-out and totally psychedelic production quality. rounded out with a couple good male ssw folkrock cuts, and a strong and pretty unhinged solo acoustic track, and a shockingly cool short choral piece. even the couple short piano interludes are good & well placed. really really beautiful album. a real grower and much loved by the few who have actually heard it… top seam split the whole way. bottom seam split a couple inches. both are clean splits. spine is undamaged. very slight ring wear & the mostly white cover has yellowed some. wonderful b&w bird in flight drawing cover art! wax is pretty clean but its a real cheapo pressing. VG+/VG+.

original copy of this very rare private press xian garage folk rocker out of missouri. a cool raw upbeat folkrock setting with a couple crude fuzz jammers, a couple downers, and all around excellent playing. the xian vibe is thick, so be warned, but a real rewarding listen if a) you really love jesus, or b) you can get past the lyrics and into the sound. nice looking cover too. perfect archive worthy SEALED NM+ copy!

perfect copy of this weirdo crooner pop-sike garage slab. some lame soulful numbers for sure, but well worth it for two monster psych tracks on side two: & #145;fool amid the traffic’ is a wild garage psych number with crazy organs & cool fuzz, and & #145;the emperor’ is amazing space psych drift with half spoken lyrics and heavy electro processing, effects, and synth. amazing private press looking freaky black & white cover too! cover is beautiful NM in shrink with a small punch hole, vinyl is NM. original decca inner sleeve.

scarce old 300 copy euro reissue of the original “big one” in the school project bag. originally released on much loved RPC label. great stoned-out mix of underground psych, loner folk, female acid folk, etc. not all amazing, but a great trip all the way through, and the best tracks are total jewels. altered front cover. super thick wax and thick carton cover. loose slicks front & back. pretty tough to score these days, even as a reissue. NM/NM.
dutch orig in thin fragile single cover. much cheaper way to own a vintage pressing of this monstrous & amazing brit psychfolk masterpiece led by the duo of JUDY DYBLE (vocalist on the first FAIRPORT CONVENTION lp) and JACKIE McAULEY (ex-THEM). a really wonderful album that adds extra acid to the usual brit folkrock sound with twisted lyrics, great effects, fuzz bursts, etc. originally of the way collectible DAWN label, but that version will set you back big bucks so this is a great option. awesome sound. tiny sticker tear on front, super clean wax. NM-/NM.
second US label press of their much loved debut, with totally different cover art then the uk version. NM-/VG++.
wonderful oregon haunting rural folk psych private press. recently reissued & much loved by many. its a beautiful, mellow, deep album with sparse acoustic guitar, flute, hand drums, electric bass, etc. great late phase hippie cottage vibes for sure. cover opening was trimmed at a slight angle, so not exactly square. otherwise, just about perfect in shrink NM-/NM-.

beautiful and very rare UK original blue label stereo pressing of their 3rd album masterpiece. pre-T. REX underground pagan mystical folk psych from another realm. final album with STEVE PEREGRIN TOOK, and also their final all acoustic album, as well as their first album recorded in a 8-track studio… the combination of an increasingly turned-on vision with the possibilities of multi-tracking, all before any macho les paul posturing kicked in makes for a just about perfect album to my ears, and a long time fave ‘round here. incredible songs, mind boggling bent pixie lyrics, frantic playing, plus warm, honest, and deeply psychedelic TONY VISCONTI production. awesome JOHN PEEL read children’s story too. a must own album in any form, and this is a real sweet form to own it in. beautiful fragile laminated gatefold cover is real clean with just tiny signs of corner wear, and rubbed bottom seam. name in pen on inside gatefold. beautiful labels. few stray hairline scuff on the thick sparkling wax. NM-/NM-.
nice catchy garage single with good pop vibes. clear yellow vinyl original! NM.
obscure & recently in demand ‘sound art’ private press. huge long metallic drones created by bowed sheet steel sculptures. taking the ideas of BERTOIA, etc. to a more dark & ominous realm. should appeal to fans of NWW, AMM, etc. as well as the usual sound art crew. a rare one. VG++/NM-.
very tough to score original pressing of this monster garage folkrock gem from the northwest. on the same mirco label that released the NEW TWEEDY BROS lp, and thats actually a pretty good reference point. great melodic psych jangler with raga breaks, echo, lovely vocals, and deep lyrics. very very rare. stunning NM condition.
little known & underrated femme folk / folkrock psych jewel on this tiny private virginia label. same label who did the much more well known MASON ‘harbor’ & POLYPHONY ‘without introduction’ lps. the handful of covers & trad. songs are well picked, and highly enjoyable… but the originals are totally amazing, especially ‘wishing well’ which is beautiful drifting gentle folkpsych with echo, flute, hand drums, etc. and ‘closer’ which is a jaw-dropping full band acidfolk rocker as good as any early 70s femme psychers you hear hyped all the time (and pay a lot more for). very cool purple on pale blue textured cover as well. totally recommended! cover has very slight adding at edges but really nice still. EX+/NM-.
new age / space / synth music from ex APHRODITE’S CHILD frontman. in shrink. NM-/EX+.
charming if typical mid 60s xian beatnik folk with kids singing & some cool hand drumming on 95% of this one. not bad for what it is, but… one total monster cut with bizarre lyrics, exotica clatter, weirdo vocals, and persistent fuzz guitar soloing in the distance. a total killer that sounds like the FUGS jamming with EDEN AHBEZ! well worth the price just for the one track, but a pretty fun lp anyway, especially with the awesome super crude cover design. VG+/VG++.
features a long (11+ minute) track from TERRY RILEY plus stuff from YAS, STEVEN HALPERN and KITARO. EX-/NM-.
rather rare collection of uk paisley underground style retro psych in very suiting day-glo cover. with THE TIMES, MARBLE STAIRCASE, THE EARWIGS, THE HIGH TIDE, MOOD SIX, THE DOCTOR, MILES OVER MATTER, THE SILENCE, and THE BARRACUDAS. NM-/NM-.

NM-/EX+.
pretty rare & cool micro label post punk comp ep featuring two tracks each from JOY DIVISION, BASCZAX, and THURSDAYS. both joy division cuts are from the “unknown pleasure” sessions, but were not on the album and were only available here until the late 80s, so pretty cool item. original inner sleeve with notes. VG++/VG++.
second part of this cool three lp series highlighting the uk folk/rock/psych crossover. tracks recorded between 1963-1973 from PENTANGLE, DAVEY GRAHAM, BERT JANSCH, JOHN RENBOURN, ROY HARPER, MARTIN CARTHY, AL STEWART, JOHN & BEVERLEY MARTYN, FAIRPORT CONVENTION and more. many scuffs on vinyl but plays ok.

scarce early garage comp. with extensive notes. NM/NM.
very rare & obscure compilation of north-eastern brazilian folk music. a really cool comp from any angle, but of serious note for the inclusion of an exclusive track by LULA CORTES, ZE RAMALHO & ZE LIMEIRA. its an amazing alternate acoustic version of a cut from the PAEBIRU album, recorded during the album sessions. totally different from the electrified version on the legendary double album, this version has upfront vocals & lula’s trademark flowing tricordio, backed by seriously droned-out 6 & 12-string guitar. really awesome stuff, and if you know the power of paebiru / satwa / marconi notaro albums, you’ll know this little known track is an essential piece of the puzzle. fragile waxy laminated cover. lots of lite scuffs on wax, but nothing major and the cortes track plays great with just a little surface noise. very rare. EX-/VG+.
super obscure 3rd lp in the PERSPECTIVE (later FOLLIES BAZAAR) series released by the students at the university rhode island. for me this volume and the first one are by far the strongest of the whole series. great mix of loner folk, folk psych, and moody folkrock. some great female vocals, really great all original material, and ending with a heartbreaking neil young inspired downer full band folkrock killer. only a couple hundred copies pressed. manufacture at legendary RITE RECORDS plant. cover art is just too amazing to believe! cover & vinyl both really nice. just scattered surface marks on vinyl, plays super. highly recommended. EX-/EX-.

EX-/VG++.
extremely rare french double lp best of collection in a beautiful psychedelic laminated gatefold cover. really nice & very very tough to score item for the serious VU collector. slightly different cover graphics (nicer i think) then the much more common german variation. cover has slight lamination wear to bottom left cover. NM-/EX-/EX.
totally vanished original MONO copy of this massively brilliant and endlessly influential masterpiece. you know the deal, the godfathers of dope damaged avant-pop, spiky punk attitude, and psychedelic noise all at once. amazing alternate mono mix is a real treat for sure. first state cover with the emerson torso back cover (pre censor stick or airbrush job), peelable banana, and mono matrix number. cover has general ring/edge/corner wear. very small crack at spine. banana is missing the stream and looks like it was peeled and re-stuck quite a few times, its wrinkled & dirty, but at least its there. wax has numerous paper scuff and some lite marks, but nothing major. plays well. gotta love the deep, rich mono sound. getting way rare in any condition. with original inner sleeve.

really odd lp made to promote washington apples! side one is mainly decent pop about apples, sunshine, etc. but side two gets into some great original bluesy psych garage zones with longer tracks, fuzz, organs, strong female vocals, etc. pretty cool. funny cover. real cheap rather noisy pressing. VG/VG.
private chicago area combo doing country/blues covers & trad material with an odd peppy loungy electric folkrock sound. few good moments mostly due to the nice female vocals and some good electric guitar licks. totally great super crude band portrait cover art! VG++/VG++.
awesome copy of UK humorous folk on wonderful & collectible label. fragile laminated cover. starting lamination lift at spine. vinyl looks unplayed! NM-/NM-.
great long beach wasted basement garage psych private press on the much loved century custom label. totally drugged-out sound here with lots of crude fuzz, electric piano, blasted rhythms, deadpan vocals, etc. features ‘mississippi’ who later made the great oddball ‘velvet sandpaper’ lp. two versions exist, this is the 11 track version with ‘heartbreak hotel’. a few other covers including the FUGS ‘i couldn’t get high’ and the VELVET UNDERGROUND’s ‘i’m waiting for my man’! pretty awesome for an from that, or any, era, and gives you a real good idea of the themes here. great looking cover is like new fully in shrink, 100% crisp & bright. vinyl is very clean too with just a couple super lite scuffs, but theres a weird pressing flaw in the first song side one. it looks ugly but plays through fine, and doesn’t even make much noise. it’s also the worst track on the album, sort of a short loungy instro thing, so no big loss really. cover NM / side one EX- / side two NM-.
beautiful original black label stereo pressing. always trashed, this one is super clean! massively influential & undeniably great debut album. british mod garage classic, all the way… cover has a couple very small chips along spine, otherwise very minor wear only. small name in pen on back. vinyl is sparkling clean with a couple micro scuffs that do nothing. original inner sleeve. really tough to find this clean. EX+/NM-.
original orange label tower MONO pressing. if you dig biker flick soundtracks, this is an essential one. dominated by DAVIE ALLEN & THE ARROWS doing their sleazy fuzz-fest surf garage thing. pretty wicked. gotta love the peter fonda / nancy sinatra all smiles cover shot too! plays great in mono… EX-/VG+.
recently discovered private press xian folkrock. nothing mindblowing here, but its a nice listen with a mellow rural vibe and some unusual lyrics in spots. one cut is a strange heavy soulful thing with fuzz bursts, it appears on the recent “electric holyland” comp. real nice looking & very thick cover, with insert. perfect like new in shrink NM/NM.

nice copy orig US pressing of extended uk progpsych. gatefold cover. great album! small promo sticker on back. VG++/EX++.
virtually unknown private press on the much in demand century label. really awesome west coast femme folkpsych, with a totally lost, sunburnt, melancholy, wide-eyed vibe dripping all over. very cool zoned-out real people mood, but simple, folky, and catchy at the same time. some tracks are stripped down with just guitar or autoharp, but most of the album features full band electric backing to great effect. a hard one to describe, but i keep coming back to this one again & again. generic guitar/sunset cover with an intensely weird back cover portrait photo. only 225 copies pressed!! perfect SEALED NM+.
mysterious, little known & very rare xian new jersey femme private press. really a magical one for those who can get down with this type of thing. its got a definite folky coffeehouse vibe, but theres a depth & fragility here way beyond your average SSW stuff. very deep loner vibe. she’s clearly totally burnt on the hippy scene as well as the church, so she’s left quite alone with her feelings. at moments you can literally hear that she’s on verge of tears. pretty intense stuff. all solo guitar and voice other then the albums centerpiece ‘autumn’s child’ which is mindblowning psychfolk with wailing hand drums, really heavy acoustic guitar, and blasted vocals. a really monster track… not every track is a winner, but as a whole a really stunning album and a real grower full of hidden charms. its totally got the look too: heavy textured folkways type split pocket cover, with very crude yellow paper xerox warp-around paste-on art, with hand stamped ‘have a happy day’ smiley face. xerox lyric insert as well. cover has spine wear (not split), slight staining, and a tear to the xerox art about an inch square, but it misses all the art and its really quite subtle considering. vinyl has many scuffs and lite scratches, but nothing too deep and it still plays very well, better then it looks. the right person is really gonna dig this one… VG++/VG.
original pressing of this west coast cult psych private press. only 500 pressed. father yod sits out this session, letting the band take total control, and as a result this is one of their most accessible & best with some real killers. totally classic cover art, and includes the rare art inner sleeve too. sweet copy. neat 1.5 inch split to bottom seam, but otherwise only very faint wear. real clean wax & inner sleeve.

totally obscure & pretty cool maine xian teen garage folk / folkrock. some sappy typical duds of course, but about half the cuts are well above average with crude production, jangly tambourine, cheapo organ, drum kit, electric bass, and those wide-eyed teen vocals just off enough to be right. the few self penned tracks are obviously especially cool. ‘power to be’ is full of wild ham-fisted drumming, disjointed organ/piano interplay and pretty whacked vocals harmonies hitting almost MYSTIC ZEPHYRS 4 territory. a definite real people kiddie psych winner. great cover photo too. minor ring wear. nice wax. EX-/EX.
