Na da kann aber jetzt keiner was gegen sagen... The Doors- Critique, Deja Vu Records D - 1985, 1971. Astrein vom TV aufgenommen, die Platte behauptet von den Bahamas zu stammen, ich hege leise Zweifel. Eigentlich recht solide, Soft Parade und bisschen früher, Qualität passt. Der Fan braucht das sowieso. Die letzten beiden Tracks stammen von einem Konzert in London 1968, da qualmt es dann so richtig. Zugegeben nicht ganz so obskur wie der Rest den ich manchmal bringe, aber das Archiv besteht nicht nur aus Seltsamkeiten... #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollector #vinyloftheday #thedoors #jimmorrison #raymanzarek #robbykrieger #psychedelic #psychedelicrock #classicrock #guitarist #bassist #drummer #keyboards #33rpm #frankenscheiben #vinylcommunity #schallplatte #plattensammlung #johndensmore #thesoftparade #losangeles #cratedigging #obscurerecords #rarevinyl #collectibles #instavinyl

Triangle - s/t 🇫🇷 Released : 1970 Issue : - (Original 1st FR pressing) Label : Pathé Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Prog Rock, Heavy Psych, Jazz Fusion ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! 🔮 T R I A N G L E 🔮 One of the earliest French progressive rock bands is Triangle. Although he left after a few singles and explored his more experimental tendencies, most notably with Richard Pinhas and Heldon, they were led at one point by the diminutive Alain Renaud on guitar. Their presentation is a reliably fantastic collection, that blends French and English verses, with a hard hallucinogenic chomp in the guitar work. "Left With My Sorrow" is probably the album's most approachable track. This is a fantastic track that combines the sounds of bands like the Small Faces, early Humble Pie, and early Spooky Tooth with Procol Harum guitar lines from the Robin Trower era. Now, when I say accessible, I do not mean bad or boring. This album, along with perhaps the first two Martin Circus albums, are a good place to start if you're new to French progressive rock. Be aware that, like Martin Circus's later work, it is completely shoddy. Highlight Songs : "Peut-Être Demain"; "Tried So Hard" Swipe left for a sample of "Peut-Être Demain", "Left With My Sorrow", "M.G. - G.G." and "Cameron's Complaint". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #triangleband #triangle #frenchrock #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1970

La Cofradía De La Flor Solar - s/t 🇦🇷 Released : 1971 Issue : - (Original 1st ARG pressing) Label : Microfon Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Heavy Psych, Acid Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! No le digas nada a tu ma, no, se confundirá... 👵🏼☄️ The time has come to return to what we could say is a tradition of this humble space, one of the most pleasant moments of all that we have to face post by post (for being one of the closest to the heart of whoever writes this , clear). We are talking, of course, about this attempt to trace the roots of what is known as Argentine rock, through the first years of a tradition that is almost fifty years old and is recognized as the most advanced in Latin America. In addition to Morcy, Manija and Kubero, the skilled guitarist Quique Gornatti and another promising talent from La Plata, a certain Skay Beilinson, also on guitars, would participate in the album, and what would end up coming out would be a sample of very good psychedelic hard rock that begins with the dreamy “ Quiero Ser Una Luciérnaga ” (composed by Díaz the day before recording) to attack with a combination of rhythms learned from the San Francisco scene but with an inherently Argentine personality as demonstrated by very argent songs like “ Todo Mi Mal” and “En La Siesta”. Highlight songs : "Fiesta De Amor En El Cielo"; "Se Ama O No Se Ama" Swipe left for a sample of "Fiesta De Amor En El Cielo", "Paz De Panza", "Se Ama O No Se Ama" and "En La Siesta". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #lacofradiadelaflorsolar #kuberodiaz #argentinianrock #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

Faxx - s/t 🇺🇸 Released : 1971 (1977 (?)) Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : Not On Label Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Southern Rock, Blues Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Memories are all I have... 🛤️📝 Faxx were an American band from Fort Smith, Arkansas. They were a semi-unknown group from the area. Their sound was inspired by the Allman Bros. Band and Black Oak Arkansas (for which they would open in some concerts) for their grittier, heavier works. The band would just simply disappear after releasing this album. The album features nine original songs, including "Shadowfax," "Caramia," "Everybody Lies," and "Don't Take My Love," which are all delivered with a heavy dose of bluesy electric guitar riffs and effortless rhythm. Much of the background rhythm also has a vibe similar to that of "Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut album, with a classic rock edge. "Please" and "Don't Take My Love" are played alongside more secular slice-of-life thoughts. Great guitar licks throughout this whole album, recommended to those that don't mind a good ole smile-lifting album after a long day. Highlight songs : "Shadowfax"; "Don't Take My Love" Swipe left for a sample of "Shadowfax", "Caramia", "Please" and "Don't Take My Love". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #faxxband #faxx #privatepress #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

Gong - Camembert Electrique 🇫🇷 Released : 1971 Issue : - (FR pressing) Label : BYG Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Psychedelic Rock, Space Rock, Canterbury Scene ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! 🔮 G O N G 🔮 The liner notes by Daevid Allen express "This is the first album by Gong the band and family recorded in France in 1971". Even though a 1970 album called Magick Brother is listed in the Gong discography, despite being credited to Gong, it is actually a Daevid Allen/Gilli Smyth project. That may come as a surprise to some people. Camembert Electrique qualifies as the first "real" Gong album due to the fact that Continental Circus, the soundtrack LP that was recorded by the entire band and released after Camembert Electrique, only contains two actual Gong tracks. The songs range from mildly updated psychedelia such as "You Can't Kill Me", a hippy protest song spiced up with some killer sax from Didier Malherbe, to incredibly ahead-of-its-time material like "You Tried So Hard" - which, with its driving guitar line and earnest vocals, sounds in its first half like the sort of material the shoegazer/indie scene in Britain would cook up decades later, before the song breaks out into all kinds of experimental directions. The band's quirky sense of humour is in full force, and exists in perfect balance with its progressive musical aims - a fact that's true of precious few Gong albums from the early 1970's. Highlight Songs : "You Can't Kill Me"; "Tried So Hard" Swipe left for a sample of "You Can't Kill Me", "Dynamite : I Am Your Animal", "Fohat Digs Holes In Space" and "Tried So Hard". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #gong #daevidallen #gongcamembertelectrique #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

The Knowbody Else - s/t 🇺🇸 Released : 1969 Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : HIP Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock, Country Rock Oh flying horse of Louiiiisiana... 🎠 This is, to put it mildly, a very avoidable album. Of course, you don't have to believe me. You can always buy it for a few bucks because it's quite cheap on the secondary market (and we all know what that means), spin it once, smack yourself in the side of the head, and realize that you would have been better off spending your money on a bag of warm, salty fries and a Coke. The majority of these songs are pretty average. "No One And The Sun" is likely the best tune here yet for the most part this collection doesn't intrigue me by any stretch of the imagination. Psychedelic rock is my favorite genre, but I don't really like country music. One of the reasons I don't like this is the country influences it has. Also, the songwriting is kind of bad. Otherwise you have a few exceptions in "Vieux Carre" and "Flying Horse Of Louisiana" which both feature some acid guitar leads, but not really something that will make me put it out of the shelf so often Highlight Songs : "No One And The Sun"; "Flying Horse Of Louisiana" Swipe left for a sample of "In Your Quiet Home", "No One And The Sun", "Vieux Carré" and "Flying Horse Of Louisianna". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #theknowbodyelse #blackoakarkansas #jimdandy #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #60s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1969

Surprize - Keep On Truckin' 🇺🇸 Released : 1972 Issue : 1973 (US pressing) Label : East Coast Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock, Hard Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! KEEP ON TRUCKIN' PAL 🔥🚶‍♂️ Yet another assist from my pal @the_realm_of_the_wax_kingdom (2/3). "Keep On Truckin'" is an outstanding hard rock album with a psychedelic vibe happening. The fuzz guitar is terrific and the bass player, the drummer are very good. This long play rocks with many toe tappers. Catch a buzz and crank up the volume. This is a killer rock and roll from the early 70's that will rock you. Not all cuts are psychedelic, but all are typical of a early 70's hard rock band. The singer could project his voice with little effort, as if his voice could fill a hall without a mic. A natural for belting out rock. Kool keyboards. I was anticipating a track having a killer organ break/extended solo. They got down and funky on "See The Light". The drumming slightly reminiscent of Deep Purples, "Hush". Dig the blues harmonica on "Keep On Truckin". The last track, part ballad, part rocker. A softer song that brings the LP to an end. Highlight Songs : "Earth Odyssey"; "Ev'ry Day" Swipe left for a sample of "Earth Odyssey", "Sweet Love", "Keep On Truckin'" and "Ev'ry Day". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #surprizeband #surprizekeepontruckin #surpriseband #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1972

Curt Boettcher ist nicht weit, und The Millennium und Rising Sons bewegen sich im gleichen Dunstkreis. Alles hier schreit 1968. Los Angeles, da war Geld natürlich ein Thema, deswegen gehn die Kollegen auch nicht so ganz steil wenn es um ausschweifende Psychedelica geht.

Whipping Post - So We Are 🇨🇭 Released : 1980 Issue : - (Original 1st CH pressing) Label : Musk Project Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Blues Rock, Prog Rock, Space Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Late time space blues 🛸☄️ A highlight in dark progressive rock from Switzerland. This only studio album by Whipping Post is well under the radar to most. Great blend of bluesy psych and prog rock. In Adliswil, Zürich, they were known for their amazing live concerts. Some people suggested me listen to their records and I got aware they loved Gravy Train… modern prog blues! (I'd even say this is Space Blues). I admit they were really good and deserve more attention! It needs to be remastered, the quality of vinyls was a little bit lower in Switzerland at that time than comparable English records. They were closing soon after. In Horgen was a facility that vanished. Very sad. As Krokus went famous… and money started rolling, they changed the politics. I'm amazed how fine they played against all odds! Great band! Highlight songs : "Your Love"; "Gonna Be Wild" Swipe left for a sample of "Freedom In Me", "Your Love", "Gonna Be Wild" and "Pioneers". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #whippingpostband #whippingpostsoweare #cbbusser #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #80s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1980

Charmer - Do It To It 🇺🇸 Released : 1977 Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : Illusion Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Heavy Psych, Southern Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! It's getting even HIGHER ! 🌅🔥 Yet another assist from my pal @the_realm_of_the_wax_kingdom (1/3). Ironicly these "tax scam" labels were intended to intentionally bring in cash on disappointment on account of the assessment escape clause that permitted them to do as such. Their ability for tracking down extraordinary failed to remember music and the nature of the better music here proposes that they might have made substantially more money than their trick gave assuming they gave a portion of these great dark deliveries some genuine advancement. It is rumored that these tracks are from the band Steel and these are studio sessions that didn't make it onto an LP. It is equally rumored that the tax label scam belonged to Mike Pinera. The album kicks off with a great song "In My Heart" which features a soulful vocal style by the singer later evolving into a sorta Lynyrd Skynyrd southern styled jam. "Mother Nature", "Work It Out" and "Electric Music" fall into the fine Blues Rock category, which remind me a lot of Free (you'd swear it's the great duo of Paul Kossoff and Rodgers) all performed with great soul and intent. "Thirty" is a heavy psych song with some doomy guitar licks and a hooking chorus. Highlight Songs : "Electric Music"; "Thirty" Swipe left for a sample of "In My Heart", "Mother Nature", "Electric Music" and "Thirty". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #charmerband #charmerdoittoit #taxscamlabel #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1977

This is an album I’ve had on my wantlist for a surprisingly long time but never actively sought it out, really happy to find it for dirt cheap from @foundationcollegepark at the last Orlando Record Show! It’s without a doubt one of the more obscure albums on Jazzland and from the Hard Bop era in general, most probably don’t know who Mel Rhyne is, and admittedly I would completely ignore this album if it weren’t for the fact that this relatively obscure organist was a member of the Wes Montgomery Trio. He backed Montgomery on his trio work including one of my favorite albums, Boss Guitar, and his organ playing was so tasteful and gentle that I had to see what else he has done - which as it turns out, isn’t a lot. I believe this is his only solo album, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it posted in the Vinyl Community, which is a shame considering the 2 other soloists are Blue Mitchell and Johnny Griffin! The album has a great lineup for the price and obscurity. Although it’s nothing game changing, it’s worth picking up! #jazzorgan #wesmontgomery #wesmontgomerytrio #jazzland #jazzlandrecords #jazzvinylcommunity #jazzvinylcollector #jazzvinylcollection #jazzvinyljunkie #jazzvinylrecords #bluemitchell #johnnygriffin #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #cratedigging #vinylcollector #vinylcollecting #vinylshopping #vinyljunkie #instavinyl #recordcollection #recordcommunity #recordcollector #recordcollecting #recordlabel #recordstore #obscurerecords #rarerecords

Randy Holden - Population II 🇺🇸 Released : 1970 Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : Hobbit Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Heavy Psych, Hard Rock, Traditional Doom Metal ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Standing on the top of mountains pissing on the mere mortals below type massive 🌋🔥 This album in particular is something of its own. Back in 1970, nothing really compared to this piece of beauty, even the closest we could get was maybe the Flower Traveling Band, Shinki Chen and Black Sabbath with their debut self-titled released on the same year. Holden's guitar lines are simplistic, yes, but does that make a bad album ? No. This album is for sure one of a kind that will let you shivers down your spine. In 1969 Holden replaced Leigh Stephens in Blue Cheer. Holden toured with Blue Cheer for an entire year before once again parting ways. Frustrated with lack of control over the bands, Randy formed his next new band with drummer Chris Lockheed. During this time Holden obtained a sponsorship deal with Sunn amplifiers. Through this he received his legendary sixteen 200 Watt amplifiers. Tho, ending out never having a penny upon the mysterious release of the album, Randy Holden spent half of his life as a fisherman, completely disgusted about the music industry. Population II gotta be one of the heaviest albums of the early 1970's. The guitarwork is powerful and these five songs all do their job pretty well. "Guitar Song", "Blue My Mind" and the lengthy album closer "Keeper of My Flame" are my personal favourites here. Highlight Songs : "Fruit & Iceburgs"; "Blue My Mind" Swipe left for a sample of "Guitar Song", "Fruit & Iceburgs", "Blue My Mind" and "Keeper Of My Flame". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #randyholden #randyholdenpopulationii #bluecheer #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1970

The Next Morning - s/t 🇺🇸 Released : 1971 Issue : - (Original 1st FR pressing) Label : Roulette Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Blues Rock, Heavy Psych, Funk Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Heavy knights from Brooklyn, NY 🌃 The last part of the 1960s found guitarist Scipio Sargeant having left his local Trinidad for New York City. Living in Brooklyn his easing up fast guitar started standing out, including that of individual Trinidadian/guitarist Bert Bailey. Finding a common interest in hard rock, the pair chose to frame a band, rapidly enrolling keyboardist Duke Arthur, sibling/drummer Spice Bailey and vocalist Lou Phillips. With Scipio changing to bass the quintet started standing out on the city's club circuit. Nearly endorsed by Columbia, the gathering wound up with a recording contract on the Roulette Records subsidiary Calla mark. Recorded at New York's Electric Lady Studios, their 1971 introduction "The Next Morning" was delivered by Dick Jacobs and obviously drew motivation from Jimi Hendrix. Impelled by Arthur's crazy consoles and Bert Bailey's underhanded input soaked guitar, self-wrote material, for example, "Changes Of The Mind", "Life Is Love" and "Back To The Stone Age" presented noteworthy cuts of Hendrix-styled weighty stone. The general exhibitions were very alluring, making for a top notch set that ought to speak to all guitar rock sweethearts. Highlight Songs : "Changes Of The Wind"; "Back To The Stone Age" Swipe left for a sample of "Changes Of The Mind", "Life Is Love", "Back To The Stone Age" and "Adelane". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #thenextmorning #thenextmorningband #funkadelic #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

Led Zeppelin - s/t (Live at the Paris Theater 1971) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1972 Issue : 1974 (IT pressing) Label : Joker Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Blues Rock, Psychedelic Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Hehe mama said the way you move... 🗣️🔥 The sound quality on the version of this boot I have is utterly amazing. It’s one of the best sounding bootlegs I have ever heard, at least from this era. It’s an amazing performance as well. This title on Joker utilizes the tape used previously on Cobla's Stairway To Heaven, which has the stereo more centered. They further used some of the chat between songs, the intro, and the out of tune beginning of What Is., from the previous source giving the most complete and best sounding version of this show. Further, the "cut" in the Whole Lotta Love medley sounds much better. This concert starts with "Immigrant Song". While the band shows an incredible power, the vocals from Plant are somewhat weak (specially the "screams" section which is really poor - sorry Robert). Page displays a great guitar solo, unfeatured in the studio album. It's funny to compare the end of the track when the following number "Stairway To Heaven". It sounds exactly as on their second album when "The Battle Of Evermore" ends and "Stairway To Heaven" starts. One track abruptedly stops, while the other one powerfully starts. Die-hard fans will understand what I mean. If not try and listen to both sequence. It will be obvious to your ears. "Whole Lotta Love" : one of their most violent studio number. You can imagine how it will sound on stage ! Raw power (not mimicking the Stooges...). Highlight Songs : "Stairway To Heaven"; "Whole Lotta Love" Swipe left for a sample of "Immigrant Song", "Stairway To Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love" and "The Lemon Song". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #ledzeppelin #ledzeppelinbootleg #ledzep #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1972

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1967 Issue : - (Original 1st FR pressing) Label : Barclay Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Blues Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Acid Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Are you gonna wait 'till tomorrow ? 🔮✨ The issue with craftsmen of Jimi Hendrix and the Jimi Hendrix Experience's quality is that is all there is to it remarkably difficult to pick a number one/best melody or album from these kind of records. Be that as it may, I think i've sorted it out. For me at any rate. Electric Ladyland and Band Of Gypsys just knocks my socks off everytime I hear them. Its between those two for the monitors best, yet Axis: Bold As Love is undoubtedly my fave album from Hendrix, and the title track is effectively my number one too. The Jimi Hendrix Experience never sounded more like a band than on Axis. Noel and Mitch prove their worth as one of the tightest little rhythem sections in all of rock n' roll history. Take the energy of Mitchs playing on "Fire" from the first album, sprinkle some restraint and you have his power on this whole album. The man was way underrated and might actually be the greatest rock drumme rever. Sorry Bonzo, but Mitchys got ya beat in my book. I'm not gonna get into the tracks here because I think they really speak for themselves. I mean shit, just look at "Little Wing", the title track, and "Spanish Castle Magic". Yes, please! Highlight songs : "Spanish Castle Magic"; "Little Wing" Swipe left for a sample of "Spanish Castle Magic", "Little Wing", "If Six Was Nine" and "Bold As Love". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #jimihendrix #thejimihendrixexperience #jimihendrixexperience #heavysixties #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #60s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1967

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1967 Issue : - (Original 1st FR pressing) Label : Barclay Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Blues Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Acid Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Excuse me while i kiss the sky... 🌃✨ Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, the LP was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music. By mid-1966, Hendrix was struggling to earn a living playing the R&B circuit as a backing guitarist. After being referred to Chas Chandler, who was leaving the Animals and interested in managing and producing artists, Hendrix was signed to a management and production contract with Chandler and ex-Animals manager Michael Jeffery. In late October, after having been rejected by Decca Records, the Experience signed with Track, a new label formed by the Who's managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. Are You Experienced and its preceding singles were recorded over a five-month period from late October 1966 through early April 1967. The album was completed in 16 recording sessions at three London locations, including De Lane Lea Studios, CBS Studios, and Olympic Studios. The US version contained some of Hendrix's best known songs, including the Experience's first three singles, which, though omitted from the British edition of the LP, were top ten hits in the UK: "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "The Wind Cries Mary". Highlight Songs : "Foxy Lady"; "Fire" Swipe left for a sample of "Foxy Lady", "May This Be Love", "Fire" and "3rd Stone From The Sun". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #jimihendrix #thejimihendrixexperience #jimihendrixexperience #heavysixties #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #60s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1967

Jerusalem - s/t 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1972 Issue : - (Original 1st UK pressing) Label : Deram Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Heavy Psych, Hard Rock, Blues Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! PRIMITIVE MAAAAAN, YOU KNEW ONLY LUST ! 🧌🔥 The only thing I've ever heard that could be ranked in the same tier as Sir Lord Baltimore, Granicus, Orang-Utan, Leaf Hound, Toad and (at least some) Budgie. Perfect vocals and songwriting to go with epic crushing riffs that melt my brain into a puddle of pure heavy psych euphoria. I have heard a fair number of obscure heavy psych albums, but this blows almost everything else out of the water. I've only listened to this album like 3 times so far and it already feels like an old friend! That's a sure sign of great songwriting. As a matter of fact it was produced by none other than Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, curiously enough. Oh and sure, listen to "Primitive Man" you'd swear it's Nirvana playing... only 20 years earlier. The awesomely chilling cover fits the album perfectly; it's cold, clammy, and harrowing, with deliciously unhinged vocals adding the the evil vibe. Venomous tracks like "Hooded Eagle," the psychotic confessional "Murderer’s Lament," driving "When The Wolf Sits," and appropriately bludgeoning "Primitive Man," are creaky and rotten to the core. Jerusalem is also very amateurish sounding, something that adds to it's charm while banishing these guys to the second tier. Highlight Songs : "Hooded Eagle"; "Primitive Man" Swipe left for a sample of "Hooded Eagle", "I See The Light", "When The Wolf Sits" and "Primitive Man". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #jerusalemband #deeppurple #iangillan #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1972

Deep Purple - SPACE (Vol. I & II) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1970 Issue : 1973 (Original 1st EU pressing) Label : Not On Label Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Prog Rock, Blues Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! 1970 was the year of the birth of metal 🔥 After Deep Purple was recorded, singer Rod Evans and bassist Nick Simper left, to be replaced (respectively) by Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, creating what most consider to be the best version of Deep Purple. The Deep Purple of 1970 was far different from the Deep Purple of just the year before. Bassist Nick Simper and vocalist Rod Evans had been fired, and bassist Roger Glover and vocalist Ian Gillan had been selected to replace them. They joined holdovers Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, and Ian Paice to form the best-known lineup of the band, referred to as "Mark II". Deep Purple shifted gears and went in with the kill shot with the soon-to-be release of Deep Purple in Rock... and the hard rollin' world was a much better place. Although the sound quality on this is horrid, it is of some historical interest as it has the classic band performing some Rod Evans-era material as well as "Black Night", which would appear on Deep Purple in Rock. It also has a long-form jam on the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black". Culled from two performances, most of the music is repeated throughout. There was no looking back on the late 60's lineup with vocalist Rod Evans and bassist Nick Simper once the hard driving SPACE was unleashed. Highlight Songs : "Mandrake Root"; "Black Night" Swipe left for a sample of "Mandrake Root", "Wring That Neck", "Black Night" and "Paint It Black". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #deeppurple #deeppurplebootleg #bootleg #heavyseventies #hardpsych #acid #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1970

Sit down for some very obscure Dutch early seventies glamrock! ‘I can see the changes’ by Kuny came out on Ariola Records in 1973 and is very sought after nowadays. This catchy track was produced by Martin Duiser, the guy who later was responsible for hit records by Champagne, Anita Meyer and many other chartbusting Dutchies. Fun fact: Kuny, alias Gonnie van Dijk, was the sister of Alquin leadsinger Michel van Dijk. She only recorded one single and sadly left us in 2008. #vinylcherrypicker #cherrypicking #kuny #icanseethechanges #ariolarecords #gonnievandijk #martinduiser #michelvandijk #alquin #alquinband #raresingle #obscuresingle #obscurerecords #powerrock #hardrock #glamrock #rareglamrock #dutchglamrock #dutchrock #dutchdisco #nederpop #dutchmusic #musicfromholland #eurodisco #knucklegirls #vinylsingle #7inch #vinylcollector #recordcollection #vinylinspiration

The Edgar Broughton Band - Oora 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Released : 1973 Issue : - (Original 1st UK pressing) Label : Harvest Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock, Hard Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Oora Oora 🪬 Formed in 1968 in Warwick, UK, The Edgar Broughton Blues Band was fronted by brothers Edgar and Steve Broughton. Edgar handled vocals and guitar. Steve was the drummer. The original line-up was rounded out by bassist Arthur Grant , and Victor Unitt on lead guitar. Their initial repertoire was blues-rock, but as they build a local fan base, they began shifting towards a more psychedelic sound as The Edgar Broughton Band. Unitt quickly dropped out (reappearing with The Pretty Things), leaving the other members to relocate to London, where they scored a contract with EMI's Harvest label. Musically it was really fragmented, bouncing across all kinds of genres, including Spanish Flamenco ('Exhibits from a New Museaum'), Neil Young angst ('Green Lights') and even Atari sound effect bleeps and burps ('Pretty'). The album's multi-part suite structure was confusing, making it hard to figure out when tracks started and stopped, and with the exception of song snippets ('Face from a Window'), or the Neil Young-ish ballad 'Green Lights' nothing here was going to set radio stations afire. As lead singer Edgar Broughton's gruff and ragged voice wasn't any great shakes. Highlight songs : "Hurricane Man"; "Green Lights" Swipe left for a sample of "Hurricane Man", "Roccococooler", "Oh You Crazy Boy!" and "Green Lights". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #edgarbroughton #edgarbroughtonband #edgarbroughtonoora #ukpsych #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1973

Country Lane - Substratum 🇨🇭 Released : 1973 Issue : - (Original 1st CH pressing) Label : Splendid Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Prog Rock, Heavy Psych, Blues Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! "Captain Bloom drinks for the first time" 🗣️📻 It would be a tough sell to convince anyone that Country Lane were doing anything new on their first (and last) LP, but they did it with enough panache to deserve attention from fans of heavy psych rock. Certainly enough, at least, to have warranted a spot opening for Daevid Allen's Gong back in the day. Their workmanly collision of German psychedaelia and British hard rock is far too common and average to give Substratum the hopeful status of 'obscure gem', but Country Lane had a good sound going for them- fans of Uriah Heep and early Deep Purple are sure to agree. For what it's worth, "With a Sweet Whistle to My Ears" is a fine tune in the tradition of classic Uriah Heep. Though the rest of the LP's first side passes as a series of short and seemingly half-baked compositions, the small snippets are largely promising (with the exception of the vaudevillian "Good Old Time" which, though the most memorable moment of the first, isn't necessarily so for the right reasons.) "The Disgusting Story Of The Captain Bloom" racks up an entire album side; and even if that sort of thing appears to be a go-to calling card in prog rock, it shouldn't diminish the weight of the ambition it takes to accomplish one. Highlight songs : "With A Sweet Whistle To My Ears"; "The Disgusting Story Of Captain Bloom" Swipe left for a sample of "With A Sweet Whistle To My Ears", "It's Only Your Memory Playing Just The Thought Of A First Love", "In The Morning Sun" and "The Disgusting Story Of The Captain Bloom". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #countrylane #countrylanesubstratum #swissrock #privatepressing #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1973

One - Recorded Live At Joe's Fish Market And Saloon 🇺🇸 Released : 1975 Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : Back Door Sound Co. Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Psychedelic Rock, Jam Band, Blues Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Los tres osos de Tijuana, Mexico 🏜️ One were a band from the US formed by Rocky Lucia, himself a refugee who skipped town to avoid military service. The American band One was led by the Mexican musician Rocky Lucia and they managed to release only this one studio album. The album was released in 1975 on the Back Door Sound Co. Previously, it is rumoured that this band had Danny Hernandez at the vocals but left sometime before they managed this release. Becoming this time a power trio. Mostly covers, but well performed. I've heard the Neil Young cover that is on the record "Mr. Soul". The voice sounds quite similar to Neil's. The followup adds a lot to the record, "Night Time Woman" whilst "What's Your Name" and "Los Tres Osos" are silly and goofy jams of almost fifteen minutes together sounding a lot like the Edgar Broughton's "American Boy Soldier", in fact almost the totality of the record has that very same vibe. The problem with this record is the production or better the word "no production". Producer Gary Moore (lol, probably not "that" Gary Moore) has managed to make the record sound like an early 70's bootleg. Highlight songs : "Mr. Soul"; "Night Time Woman" Swipe left for a sample of "Mr. Soul", "Night Time Woman", "Angel Baby" and "Long Train Runnin'". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #theonesband #oneliveband #privatepress #privatepressing #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1975

Is ja gut, es ist erster April und die Legalisierung ist Realität, alsdann, Kapitän Böswitzig beliebt zu scherzen.. Grasland - Echt Null! Torpedo Records GL 001, 1981. Keine Ahnung wie die Jungs auf den Bandnamen kamen, die pseudokonservativen Kräfte hierzulande / in Berlin 1981 waren damals schon genauso vollumfänglich degeneriert wie ein Maggus S. heute. Firmiert unter Krautrock, bisschen fragwürdig allerdings, der Synthesizer wabert tatsächlich proggig, der Rest ist wohl eher Indie Alternative Gedöns. Muss man sich das Ganze schönrauchen? Nö, passt, lange Songs, Einfluss von Reggae bis Psychedelic, amateurhaft aber nicht ohne Charme.

Chicago Transit Authority - s/t 🇺🇸 Released : 1969 Issue : - (Original 1st NL pressing) Label : CBS Genre : Rock, Blues, Jazz Style : Jazz Rock, Prog Rock, Psychedelic Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me... 📻🌃 Despite its length the album is bursting with great music both relaxed and wild, roaming through the lands of free improv and tightly crafted songwriting at will. I don’t care what cool points it costs me - it’s one of the best debut albums ever recorded. There’s so much to notice but one of Chicago’s obvious strengths is it is blessed with not one but THREE excellent frontmen, all of whom fill a different niche. Cetera’s soaring, passionate tenor melts the heart but is balanced by Terry Kath’s soulful blues-influenced voice which acts as a gritty counterpart. Between them is Lamm, whose chill, relaxed delivery lends songs a touch of cool. The goodies keep coming from the funky stomp of Listen to "Poem 58" where we see why Hendrix called Kath “the best guitarist in the universe”, his solo demonstrating technical chops, improv ability and feel. There’s also "Free Form Guitar" - the title telling no lies, it’s six minutes of an unaccompanied Kath messing about with feedback and abusing his instrument, possibly inventing noise rock. Some find it a waste of time but I think it speaks to the band's free, uninhibited spirit that it is included. The bluesy "South California Purples", a smoking hot epic take on the Spencer Davis Group’s "I’m A Man". Yet they top it all with FIFTEEN MINUTE instrumental closer "Liberation". Highlight songs : "Listen"; "Poem 58" Swipe left for a sample of "Introduction", "Listen", "Poem 58" and "South California Purples". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #chicagoband #chicagotransitauthority #petercetera #terrykath #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #60s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1969

Chuck Odum - Easy To Love (19XX) "Don't you know a face is hard to read?" This is the line that starts off the second verse of my favorite song on this album, It's Your Life. It's a statement that often rings true in life and yet couldn't be further from it with this privately pressed piece of wax here. I had never heard of Chuck Odum before this and even after sitting with this album for several months I still no very little about the man. This seems to be his only body of work and all I can find online is a pastor of the same name, who I don't believe is him. However it was the silent sorrow in the face of Odum on the cover that drove me to purchasing this. It's a face I'm all to familiar with, one that perhaps betrays the unintentional mystery of the contents here. Sure you can flip it over, check the track listing and come to the same conclusion but I didn't quite have that luxury when I purchased this album. I've all but betrayed the art of digging at this point(sorry, not sorry). That pensive feeling lingers in the background of every track like a shadow, patiently waiting for it's moment to swallow you whole but never quite doing so. The band manages to keep it at bay with their punchy drums and groovy synths baselines that litter the album. It creates this dreamy blend of loner folk and soft rock that always manages to hold you afloat in the murky waters of love both fading and faded. From the silent suffering of a man and his guitar, drenched in copious amount of flanger to the hope of love rekindled backed by an upbeat disco pop groover, Odum hits on every point with the 10 original songs here. Despite it's lurking shadows, this slightly offbeat gem is one I definitely find myself coming back to, even if it's only for a few tracks at a time. If only everything was as easy to love. #chuckodum #easytolove #folkrock #pop #recorecords #privatepress #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #instavinyl #recordcollector #obscurerecords #obscurevinyl #singersongwriter

Warpig - s/t 🇨🇦 Released : 1972 Issue : - (Original 1st CA pressing) Label : Fonthill Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Prog Rock, Heavy Psych ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! If you see a record with an Ankh cross on the cover... GRAB IT 🏜️🐪 Certain people are know-all about this record since there is gossip that Deep Purple ripped off this dark canadian band, and I have been exploring this and as per the genuine information, it was really Warpig who plagiarized Deep Purple, as this record was first released in 1972 and NOT in 1970 as most destinations credit this, and it was later re-delivered in 1973 (in a different art cover design), additionally, the sound on this one isn't akin of 1970, it seems like 1972. Fronted capably by Rick Donmoyer, the album does not mince words, nor pull its punches. While their set-up was generally straightforward, Warpig -- like many of their heavy psych contemporaries -- opted to play around with a variety of different scopes in their music. "Flaggit" and "Tough Nuts" are fast and to-the-point blues rockers, while the followup (incorporated in "Tough Nuts") "Melody with Balls" and the enigmatically titled "U.X.I.B" are slower, almost recalling the almighty Black Sabbath, who released their own debut earlier the same year. Highlight songs : "Flaggit"; "Rock Star" Swipe left for a sample of "Flaggit", "Tough Nuts (Melody With Balls)", "Rock Star" and "U.X.I.B.". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #warpig #warpigband #canadianpsych #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1972

Megaton - s/t 🇩🇪 Released : 1971 Issue : - (Original 1st GE pressing) (Promo copy) Label : Decca Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Heavy Psych, Blues Rock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Growling like there's no tomorrow 👹🔥 Probably my best find in awhile "music" wise, this thing rips. Megaton was a one-off hard rock exploitation album recorded by Les Humphries and JImmy Bilsbury with unknown musicians in tow. Apparently Humphries and Bilsbury have a bit of a history in the European music scene - and not in a good way. They hit on success right after this album with The Les Humphries Singers. They seemed to dabble in different genres looking for a hit. Megaton was one of those projects. Its a curious affair that is obviously influenced by Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Lots of old school early 70's style guitar soloing, rough vocals by Les Humphries à la Cocker, Ashkan (and the likes) and tribal drumming here and there to add to the magic essence this album has to offer. Remember, it's still 1970 so there's maybe a slight touch more variety to the music track to track than was typical later in the decade. "Out Of Your Own Little World" sounds pretty much like a commercial radio rock anthem which could have been their hit if the release was made properly. "Life Was Easy Yesterday" is a nice pop track which harkens back a bit to late 60's soft pop but with some 70's style guitar soloing added. "Niagara" sounds like a blatant chart hit attempt, piggybacking off some obvious Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" style riffing. Highlight songs : "Niagara"; "Fairy Tale Song" Swipe left for a sample of "Niagara", "Wanna Be A Hero", "Fairy Tale Song" and "Coo Cooki Choo". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #megaton #megatonband #leshumphries #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

The Dorians - Rock Concerto 🇨🇦 Released : 1970 Issue : - (Original 1st IT pressing) Label : PDU Genre : Rock, Funk / Soul Style : Psychedelic Rock, Garage Rock, Psychedelic Pop ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! "Let's make this world a real garden of love" 🌈🌎 Not perfection but certainly one to consider; to me this absolutely makes it, once you put it on the turntable it makes you feel it's 1970 all over again, not to mention its obscurity which gives haunted vibes about the album, like it was stuck in yesteryears. The Dorians was formed in 1968 in the town of Kingsville, Ontario, by singer John Unger and bassist Bob Nixon, formerly of The Doomsday Machine; guitarist/chief songwriter Bill Loop drafted esteemed drummer Mike Betts, who joined in September 1967 after playing with Loop in Living Ends. Since Kingsville lies less than an hour away from Detroit by road, the band began recording at noted soul spot, GM Studios, in 1969, working with the songwriter, trumpeter, and arranger, Floyd Jones. The music itself it's in same vein of the likes of Tony James & The Shondells, The Box Tops and maybe It's A Beautiful Day as of the violin played throughout the album. "Rock Concerto" (weirdly enough reminds me of Sicilian songs) is a clear description of when psychedelia meets classical, and let me tell you, it's some ride. You know it's a good record when the classical parts got you hooked. Although "Means And Ways" and "Good Love" are framed as easy-going psych driven by strong vocal harmony, "Torch Song" drifted into spaced-out territory via extended instrumental jamming, led by the parallel playing of bass and violin. Highlight songs : "Torch Song"; "Rock Concerto" Swipe left for a sample of "Torch Song", "Owl Pussy Cat", "Rock Concerto" and "Means And Ways". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #thedorians #thedoriansrockconcerto #thedoriansband #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1970

Blue Cheer - Outsideinside 🇺🇸 Released : 1968 Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : Philips Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Heavy Psych, Acid Rock, Blues Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! Did i hear someone write acid ? Blue Cheer deserves the softest spot to me, either in my collection and in my heart, the kind of sound they left for all of us to enjoy is beyond pure grittiness, although i absolutely enjoy most of their albums, their first ones deserve my biggest credit. It's a shame that Outsideinside doesn't get as much cred as the influential Vincebus Eruptum, because despite not having the same impact it's really just as good, another excellent slab of heavy, fuzzed out psychedelia, with nearly as many great smoky tunes. It's maybe just a fraction less heavy than the onslaught of the debut, but it makes up for it by being a little more bluesy and having a little more fuzz. "Feathers From Your Tree" & "Sun Cycle" will leave you feeling like it's a warm, hazy summer's day. It's still pretty damn heavy, there just seems to be more emphasis on dreamy fuzz than crushing distorted riffs. This album will tell you how underrated these guys were, Leigh Stephens does get enough credit as great fuzz guitar god. Tunes like "Babylon", "Come And Get It", "Gypsy Ball" and the covers of "Satisfaction" & "The Hunter" really rock out though, so it's still a rough ride. Highlight songs : "Gypsy Ball"; "Babylon" Swipe left for a sample of "Feathers From Your Tree", "Sun Cycle", "Gypsy Ball" and "Babylon". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #bluecheer #bluecheeroutsideinside #dickiepeterson #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #60s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1968

-FOR SALE- Lillian Webb - The Little While We're Here(1975) VG+/NM DISK - 1 or 2 minor sleeve scuffs. Plays and looks pretty much brand new otherwise. NM Sleeve - Still in shrink. $40 shipped. Lovely big band vocal jazz from this "unknown" female singer. I put unknown in quotes because apparently she had enough pull to recruit Dave McKenna onto this thing. As you can expect it's full of classic material you probably know all the words to by now. It's not without its highlights however. My favorite has to be the unexpectedly funky rendition of Why Don’t You Do Right. Major standout for this. Otherwise you can expect some real tearjerkers like the cut that starts this off, You And Me Against The World. A really beauty! #lillianwebb #thelittlewhilewerehere #sadbirdrecords #jazz #funk #soul #bigband #privatepress #vinyl #vinylcollection #cratedigger #recordcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #instavinyl #recordcollector #vinylcollector #obscurevinyl #obscurerecords #vinylforsale #recordsforsale #vinylrecordsforsale

Ice (aka 'Zukus') - The Ice Age 🇺🇸 Released : 2020 (Original recordings from 1970) Issue : - (Original 1st US pressing) Label : RidingEasy Records Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Hard Rock, Heavy Psych, Psychedelic Rock ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! I can see you run to me 🏜️💨 The Ice Age was recorded by the Indianapolis band Ice in 1970. Unfortunately, the band separated soon after and the collection was rarely delivered. The band faded into obscurity despite the fact that two songs from the sessions were released on a 45 in 1972 under a different name, Zukus. These guys have a "hard" side and a "soft" side. The former is illustrated on the best track here. "Run To Me", and the latter on the album's second best track, "3 O'Clock In The Morning". At the end of the day I think that the sensitive side of the band wins out, even though the heavier moments are still fantastic. You also have "Gypsy", "Satisfy", "Catch You", and "Song Of The East", all excellent slices of stoned and mellowed out 70's rock carrying some of that leftover 60's psych flavour. Plus there's "Run To Me", another gritty ditty that demonstrates the band's harder side. RidingEasy, being the saints that they are, have put out a truly fantastic archival collection of songs with this one. Highlight songs : "Run To Me"; "3 O'Clock In The Morning" Swipe left for a sample of "Gypsy", "3 O'Clock In The Morning", "Run To Me" and "He Rides Among Clouds". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #zukusband #iceband #icetheiceage #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1970

Virus - Thoughts 🇩🇪 Released : 1971 Issue : - (Original 1st GE pressing) Label : Pilz Genre : Rock, Blues Style : Heavy Psych, Hard Rock, Krautrock ! HOLY GRAIL ⚠️ ! Smoke that thing for Christ's sake, or you'll get the flu ! 🦠💨 Their debut LP is a very good package of psychedelic and progressive krautrock but the psychedelic workouts found on "Revelation" are gone and instead the group focused on a more direct hard rock approach with some smoking acid guitar riffs. They also switched to the Pilz label, and were representative of the label’s heavy rock groups, similar to McChurch Soundroom and Dies Irae. However, it can be argued that Virus were far superior to both in terms of instrumental dexterity and a stronger compositional base. In fact "Thoughts" stacks up with the best of the German heavyweights like Bellaphon’s Orange Peel or United Artist’s Twenty Sixty Six and Then. What separates Virus from others, is a strong melodic sense, and a contrasting light touch concerning the rhythms. The organ is sometimes played with an almost jazzy like beat. Tracks like "Mankind, Where Do You Go To?" and "My Strand-Eyed Girl" are good examples of this song style. Rest assured, each track is chock full of blazing guitar and organ solos, while the rhythms section goes berserk trying to match the intensity. In this way, they resemble their peers in the UK like Warhorse or Atomic Rooster. Even a little Canterbury quirkiness can be spotted i.e. Egg. A great album and a must for the collector of early 70s heavy German rock. Highlight songs : "Mankind, Where Do You Go To ?"; "Deeds Of The Past" Swipe left for a sample of "King Heroin", "Mankind, Where Do You Go To ?", "Going On" and "Deeds Of The Past". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #virusband #virusthoughts #krautrock #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971

Wagon - s/t 🇻🇪 Released : 1971 Issue : - (Original 1st GE pressing) Label : Decca, TOP Records Genre : Rock, Blues, Funk Style : Psychedelic Rock, P. Funk, Baroque Pop ! HIDDEN GEM 💎 ! El fantasma del desierto de Guajira 🇻🇪🏜️ Shockingly good for how obscure this is; the first time listening to this i got some really hooked vibes, kinda reminded me of Steppenwolf for its crazy rocky and raspy vocals and Blood Sweat And Tears for the funky rhythms yet very soulful and full of warmth which introduces us to a long lone trip in the deserts of La Guajira surrounded by that emotional atmosphere. Not much is known about the band appart for being produced by Alfonso Sáinz bringing these dudes from Venezuela to Spain in order to record this lone album. The guys play the trendy 1970 psychedelia ranging from psychedelic funk'ish "Para Siempre/Forever" to acid rock, adding a bluesy flavor to the music that at times interrupts all other components "Green Green Grass Of Home". This is not a psych rock album, but there is a touch of "gravity" in most compositions that gives some hints of the sub-genre which was about appear. Nothing new was invented. "In Your Tear" recalls a lot of the Beach Boys with the superposition of vocals. Not possessing special talents in the possession of the instrument, the musicians of Wagon, nevertheless, try to even insert pieces of jam-session into the songs. Highlight songs : "Para Siempre/Forever"; "Verde Es La Hierba De Mi Casa/Green Green Grass Of Home" Swipe left for a sample of "Para Siempre/Forever", "Verde Es La Hierba De Mi Casa/Green Green Grass Of Home", "En La Ciudad/In The City" and "En Tu Lagrima/In Your Tear". #rock #psych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #psychrock #heavysych #psych #obscurerecords #wagonband #wagon1971 #venezuelarock #heavyseventies #obscurebands #heavyrock #acidrock #rockunderground #70s #hippiecommunity #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylrecord #vinylcommunity #myvinylcollection #collection #rarestvinylrecords #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #1971
