EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - Live In Brussels 1971 - SPA Top Gear Limited Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, a tastefully released CD containing an excellently recorded, nearly hour-long concert from March 1971, not previously released on record, professionally recorded in Brussels, four months after the release of the brilliant debut album. The band presented the whole first side in slightly extended versions, plus a 17-minute version of The Nice's classic "Rondo" and "Nutcracker" combined with bluesy rock and roll. The sound quality is excellent and it is a fantastic complement to the classic album "Pictures At An Exhibition", recorded four weeks later! Together these two albums present the band's full live repertoire of that period! In addition, a very rare and really good-sounding, 26-minute live version of the suite "Tarkus" is included, recorded at the legendary Californian venue the Hollywood Bowl in July 1971! A must! (JL) -

Released in 1973, the fifth and last genuinely classic album by the progressive trio, containing, among others, the 30-minute suite "Karn Evil 9", as well as "Jerusalem" and "Still You Turn Me On". Among the extras is an alternative, 30-minute version of "Karn Evil 9"! A MUST! (JL) -

Remastered EMI edition of the group's twelfth album. -
ELONKORJUU - ELONKORJUU - Harvest Time +1 - EU Eclipse Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A remastered and excellent-sounding edition of a Finnish rock classic - together with a bonus track! In my opinion, alongside the debut album by Culpeper's Orchard, it is the best rock record ever made in Scandinavia and certainly in the top twenty of continental Europe! Released in 1972 by the Finnish branch of EMI Parlophone, the LP "Harvest Time" is on the wish list of almost every serious vinyl collector. Unfortunately the original copies (in nearly ideal condition) that appear on the market once a year easily exceed 1400 euros and as such are rather out of reach... As for the music, it is a wonderful and incredibly catchy combination of the style of heavy rock of the Budgie, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple kind, the progressive elements of the work of early Jethro Tull and a large pinch of Scandinavian... sadness. Here everything fits together perfectly: the superb, very atmospheric though usually feisty electric guitar parts and the Hammonds echoing in the background and the dark vocals and finally the very juicy and at the same time slightly jazzy drumming... All the melodies catch the ear almost at once and at moments it is hard to believe that it is such good playing! No, I repeat no fan of heavy progressive rock can function normally without this record! Additionally an excellent, eight-minute track released in 1971 on the very rare, local Finnish compilation "Pop Mestarit" is included. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
ELEGY (see also: Hellmet) - ELEGY - Elegy - UK Seelie Court Card Sleeve Limited Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A band formed by members of Hellmet, who moved to Vienna and resided there at the Electronic club. It was also there that they recorded live, in August 1972, an album that had been lost until now. In 2021 it was released for the first time, in a gatefold paper sleeve limited to 380 copies. -
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Eldorado +2 - EU Remastered Editionprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
Remastered edition of the excellent fourth, progressive album. Two bonuses. -
ELASTIC BAND (see also: Sweet / Mayfield's Mule) - ELASTIC BAND - Expansions On Life +4 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A long-awaited edition of the only, but great, album, released by Decca in January 1970, by a British progressive band playing ambitious blues-jazz-psych rock typical of 1969, with saxophone, flute and Hammond organ, in the vein of early Jethro Tull (from the period of the debut LP "This Was"), Procol Harum, and even The Moody Blues - with a vocal reminiscent of David Clayton-Thomas of Blood Sweat And Tears. On guitar was the underrated Andy Scott - already a year later attacking with riffs in Sweet. Additionally four decent recordings from rhythm'n'blues/pop-psychedelic singles from 1968. A must! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
EKSEPTION (see also: Trace) - EKSEPTION - Selected Ekseption (2CD) - EU Editionprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
A double compilation from 1999, featuring tracks from 1969-1976. -
EKSEPTION (see also: Trace) - EKSEPTION - Beggar Julia's Time Trip - BRA Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The second album by a Dutch progressive band, based mainly on transcriptions of works of classical music. An album quite widely considered the most 'progressive' in this band's career. -
EILIFF - EILIFF - Eiliff / Girlrls - GER Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Great, classically progressive, slightly jazzy krautrock playing in the style of Emergency, Thirsty Moon and to some extent Colosseum. Excellent production! Both studio albums (the debut from 1971, and the 'second' with the revolting cover, from 1972) were once released by Philips. Highly recommended! (JL) -
EGG (see also: Arzachel / Khan / Groundhogs) - EGG - BBC Sessions And More (November 1968 - March 1972) - FRA On The Air - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, very rare, unofficial CD containing 80 minutes (60 of them from the BBC radio archives) of superb playing in the organ/bass + drums style. In 1969-1971 the trio Egg (and also its alter ego: Arzachel) was the top progressive shelf. The whole thing is opened by four tracks from 1972, three of which came out in 1974 on the third album! It is also worth noting the superb, live versions of tracks from the second album ("Long Piece No 3" and "A Visit In Newport Hospital") - unlike those posted on YouTube - 50% better sounding and presented at the correct speed (on YT both are too sloooow). In addition, among others, the excellent live "Saturn" by Gustav Holst, unreleased on any record, three studio tracks from the BBC, from 1969 and three super rare studio numbers from 1968 - when the band was still playing as Uriel. The sound quality is almost ideal, or very, very good (always better than on YT). A MUST! -
EGG (see also: Arzachel / Khan / Groundhogs) - EGG - Polite Force - UK Esoteric Remastered Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered British Esoteric edition of the excellent second album by the group - just as good as the debut! Only four tracks - including another 20-minute suite. A must! (JL) -
EGG (see also: Arzachel / Khan / Groundhogs) - EGG - Egg +2 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered and expanded Esoteric edition, with two bonuses from the first single (1969) and with the missing/previously unreleased fragment of the 20-minute suite! Egg is one of my favourite progressive bands - combining elements of the style of The Nice and early Soft Machine (overdriven Hammond organ) with a rhythm section hitting hard with almost mathematical precision. The music itself may be a little "far out", but it is still dynamic, rock. For seekers of strong musical sensations. The same band recorded a brilliant record as Arzachel. An absolute must! -
EGG (see also: Arzachel / Khan / Groundhogs) - EGG - Civil Surface - UK Esotericprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The third and unfortunately last album by the band, recorded with an unchanged line-up (at times accompanied by musicians from the Henry Cow circle). The music is still the same as before - with slight changes. Every lover of the previous two titles will automatically like this album. British CD from Esoteric. Highly recommended! -
EDWARD BEAR - EDWARD BEAR - Eclipse - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Released in 1970 by Capitol, the group's second album, like the debut (only minimally better), is for us an incredible sensation and another reason that there is still plenty of excellent, old, top-shelf music left to discover! This relatively (still) unknown album is a sophisticated and catchy combination of early prog rock, late, rock psychedelia, blues and ambitious, baroque pop. Procol Harum, The Beatles, Andwella's Dream, early Traffic, Cream - these are the names to which the music of this underrated formation can be compared. The sound engineer was Terry Brown - later producer of the best Rush records. In 1972 the band changed its line-up somewhat, mellowed, recorded the pleasant, very catchy Last Song (no. 3 in the States), then the mega-popular LP Edward Bear (1973) and became a pop-rock star (and Quentin Tarantino's favourite group), as a result of which the excellent two earlier albums were forgotten for years. A MUST! -
EDEN ROSE - EDEN ROSE - On The Way To Eden +2 - US Lion Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Released in 1970, the unfortunately only album by a great French formation, later transformed into the much more popular band Sandrose. The music of Eden Rose is early-progressive, organ-and-guitar, entirely instrumental (and good!) playing, a blend of the output of Procol Harum, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, a more progressive Brian Auger and Hell Preachers Inc. Eight substantial, unembellished, at moments strongly classicising tracks with great, overdriven guitar parts and juicy Hammond organ. That is how they played only in 1969-70! Plus two tracks from a rare single. A MUST! (JL) -
ECLECTION (see also: Fotheringay/Fairport Convention) - ECLECTION - Eclection +3 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
A brilliant, unfortunately sole album by a British (or rather international) folk-psych-progressive band - recorded in London in 1968 and released by Elektra (the label of The Doors and Love). This once very underrated album was filled with very vivid, totally enchanting and wonderfully arranged music seducing with subtle melodics, neat (male-female) vocal parts and a unique, late-psychedelic mood. The whole recalls the best moments of It's A Beautiful Day, Jefferson Airplane and Fairport Convention, though the sound at times was even juicier. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! -
ECLECTION (see also: Fotheringay/Fairport Convention) - ECLECTION - Eclection +11 - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered Expanded - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered, Swedish, much better-sounding and, most importantly, expanded with single tracks and BBC radio sessions, edition of the brilliant, unfortunately only album by a British (or rather international) folk-psych-progressive formation - recorded in London in 1968 and released by Elektra (the label of The Doors and Love). This album, so underrated in its day, was filled with very vivid, thoroughly charming and wonderfully arranged music, seducing with subtle melodies, graceful (female-male) vocal parts and an unrepeatable, late-psychedelic mood. The whole thing resembles the best moments of It's A Beautiful Day, Jefferson Airplane and Fairport Convention, though the sound at times was even juicier. Compared with the very muffled, earlier American CD this edition sounds simply brilliant. The bonus tracks, meanwhile, are downright fantastic (especially the wonderful "Mark Time"), and the single mono versions are more dynamic than the stereo mixes from the record! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - Live In Zurich 1970 - FRA On The Air Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, rare and hard-to-get CD containing a superb, 80-minute recording of a performance by the British progressive group that took place in Zurich in January 1970. The band, belonging to the front rank of British rock groups, was then at the peak of its creative powers - with the brilliant debut "Mercator Projected" to its name and with the second album "Snafu" already recorded (released in March). The record contains almost the whole second LP and over half of the debut. The whole thing is opened by a superb cover of "Eight Miles High" from the repertoire of The Byrds. The sound quality is very good - it is an audience recording, but as was often the case with the Swiss recording (on reel-to-reel) - they knew their trade. So this is one of the best audience recordings I have heard! Attention! The record sounds slightly better than the YouTube links I have posted (from another source) - the instruments are better balanced, which makes the wind instruments more clearly audible. A MUST! (JL) -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - East Of Eden (3rd Album) - GER Repertoire Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The third album by one of the best British bands of the turn of the 60s and 70s! On "East Of Eden" the band changed its line-up (only the violinist - Dave Arbus - remained), and in the process its style somewhat, almost entirely giving up the psychedelic or jazz madness known from the earlier records and concentrating on somewhat heavier playing, while not shying away from folk style. Of course it is still pedigree progressive - with attractive violin, flute and saxophone parts, while the guitar was played by one Jim Roche - the first guitarist of Colosseum. An excellent album! A must! (JL) -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - Another Eden +11 - SWE Flawed Gems Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Fifth album (and, hand on heart, the last really good one) by the progressive Brits - recorded in February 1974, but released a year later by German EMI Harvest. Stylistically it resembles the fourth LP in the discography, "New Leaf". In addition as many as eleven bonus tracks (to tell the truth even better than the content of the album), including three super rare tracks from the BBC (two of them from 1971!) and six live recordings from Germany from 1972. All in all the CD lasts as long as 76 minutes! As with all Flawed Gems releases - excellent sound quality! Highly recommended! -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - Snafu +7 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered British edition with plenty (33 minutes) of unreleased material! Another stunning title from the East Of Eden catalogue. On the second album (after the brilliant LP "Mercator Projected" from 1969) the band kept digging into Eastern territory, adding a little more jazz in the process, and also experimenting psychedelically with tape speed shifts... A fascinating and, of course, decidedly progressive record! Additionally, among others, three unreleased, dynamic tracks that are the sum of the first two albums! A must! -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - New Leaf +5 - AUS Progressive Line Expanded Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A somewhat weaker continuation of the style known from the third record - the same year of release, the same label on vinyl (Harvest), but the band toned things down. The album starts excellently, but then the tracks became shorter and the melodies somewhat simplified. Five bonus tracks added, from singles from 1970-73. -
EAST OF EDEN - EAST OF EDEN - Mercator Projected +3 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
A stunner! One of the earliest and at the same time best progressive records ever made! Original, charming rock music - a bit like an early and more dreamy Jethro Tull with a pinch of King Crimson and Colosseum and a touch of Eastern music. You cannot tear yourself away! Remastered British edition including a stunning, 7-minute cover of "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds, as well as two demo recordings (of excellent quality) running to 18 minutes together! An absolute must! (JL) -
EARTH AND FIRE - EARTH AND FIRE - Songs Of The Marching Children +10 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, remastered, limited, European edition (IN THE GERMAN POLYDOR SLEEVE FROM 1972, NEVER USED ON CD) of the excellent second album by the once very popular Dutchmen, released by Polydor in October 1971. Considered by many the best achievement of this progressive band (with a charming, female vocal), recalling here the style of the then Pink Floyd (juicily wailing guitar), early Genesis (beautiful melodies) and the debut of King Crimson (mellotron) with a vocal in the style of Mariska Veres of Shocking Blue. The first side of the record was filled with 4 shorter tracks (including the brilliant, building, flagship 'Storm And Thunder'), while the second part of the original vinyl was taken up by the brilliant, title, multi-part, 18-minute suite, kept in a varied but generally dark mood and enchanting with almost symphonic sweep. What is more interesting, the bonus tracks are in no way inferior to 'the second one' and may even be better! The singles (A and B sides) released at the time were splendid, and the added, television versions sound better and stronger than the originals! The booklet contains a reproduction of the black-and-gold front and middle of the original, Dutch sleeve, so nothing has been lost. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
EARTH AND FIRE - EARTH AND FIRE - Atlantis +7 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, remastered, limited, European edition of the third (and last excellent) album, recorded in autumn 1972 and released by Polydor in March 1973, by Dutchmen playing stylish top-shelf progressive rock in the style of Pink Floyd, Camel, old Genesis, The Moody Blues and Focus - with a great, female vocal. As with the CD 'Songs Of The Marching Children' (also recently released with bonus tracks by Prog Gems), one side of the record is filled by a brilliant, probably even better, delightful 17-minute suite combining stunning melody with the progressive canon. All fans of classic prog rock (wailing but powerful-sounding guitars, analogue synthesiser, Hammond organ, mellotron, dark atmospheres) will be delighted and I know what I'm writing, because over the years I strongly underrated this album! Additionally 7 recordings are added to the disc - including the B-side of a single from 1974 and a nearly 40-minute fragment of a great concert from March 1974 coming from the archive of the band's original sound engineer. Unfortunately, after 1975 (after a nice fourth record) the band turned towards pop music and somewhat tarnished its reputation as, alongside Focus, in my opinion the best progressive band from Holland! The sound is excellent and of course beats hands down the lifeless versions from YouTube or Spotify. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
EARTH AND FIRE - EARTH AND FIRE - Earth And Fire +5 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, remastered, limited, European edition (IN THE VERY RARE JAPANESE POLYDOR VINYL SLEEVE, NEVER BEFORE RELEASED ON CD) of the fantastic debut, released in September 1970, by Dutchmen playing early progressive rock. Splendid, catchy compositions, a dense sound based on the interplay of Hammond organ, mellotron and often heavy guitar (Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Golden Earring and King Crimson in one) and a charming, almost perfect female vocal bringing to mind Shocking Blue and Jefferson Airplane! Tracks such as 'Vivid Shady Land' or the extended, psychedelic 'Love Quiver' will delight every fan of old, ambitious rock! NOTE! 'Wild And Exciting', opening the record, is 20 seconds longer than the version on the old and somewhat worse-sounding Esoteric version, because the Brits were given a tape with the single version (with the splendid guitar solo heavily trimmed) and nobody there noticed... For years this was my favourite album by the band, though recently the next 2 titles, somewhat more sophisticated, have probably equalled it. The CD contains nearly 40 minutes of additional material, including 2 tracks from single B-sides, a splendid version of 'Storm And Thunder' from German 'Beat-Club', but above all the brilliant, extended, as-much-as-24-minute version of 'Song For The Marching Children' from the second album, recorded live in the TV studio (without an audience) in 1972 - perhaps better and more dramatic than the original record version of 1971, which is 5 minutes shorter! The whole sounds excellent - much better than the material on YouTube! The booklet contains reproductions of as many as 3 original sleeves: the Japanese from 1970 (front), the Dutch from 1970 (page 2, while the middle was placed under the tray) and probably the prettiest, but heavily worn, British one from 1971 - by the brilliant Roger Dean (inside). AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
DULL KNIFE - DULL KNIFE - Electric Indian - EU Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The sole album by a German band, from 1971. -
DSCHINN - DSCHINN - Dschinn +4 - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Released in 1972, the only album by the German band Dschinn belongs to the most interesting items in the catalogue of Bacillus Records, the label owned by Bellaphon. The band went for compact, guitar-driven compositions combining hard rock, psychedelia and blues, with distinct influences of British progressive artists of the early 70s. Among the record's greatest assets are attractive compositions combining catchy melodies with a heavy, bluesy pulse, strong guitar riffs, exceptionally capable playing by the rhythm section and... a great sleeve! The album was recorded in only five days, practically 'live', on four-track equipment, which gave it a raw, authentic sound. Additionally 4 recordings from 1972, unreleased on vinyl, are included. Highly recommended! Condition: new, sealed. (JL) -
DRUID - DRUID - Toward The Sun - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Australian, remastered edition of the debut album by a British group performing progressive rock in the vein of the output of early Camel (especially in the guitar parts) and Yes of 1972-74. This truly nice record is dominated by three epic, extended compositions averaging 8-10 minutes, characterised by classic, rich keyboard sound, numerous changes of mood and excellent arrangements. Recommended. -
DREAM THEATER - DREAM THEATER - Original Album Series 1992-2003 (5 CD) - EU Card Sleeve Boxprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Five albums from 1992-2003, released as card sleeves (mini LP) in a cardboard case. Contains: Images And Words (1992), Awake (1994), Falling Into Infinity (1997), Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory (1999), Train Of Thought (2003) - that is almost the whole, most important period of the band's work. -
DON CABALLERO - DON CABALLERO - Don Caballero 2 - US Touch And Go Edition - LISTENprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
The second album by an American band playing instrumental rock with complex rhythmic divisions. -
DIONYSOS - DIONYSOS - Le Prince Croule +7 - US Mandala Expanded Digipack - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Dating from 1971, the second album by a Canadian (French-speaking) heavy-progressive formation, containing, like the superb debut, a sizeable dose of juicy, heavy-progressive rock based on the sound of Hammond organ and heavy guitars. The whole resembles the output of such formations as Atomic Rooster and Writing On The Wall, as well as Pink Floyd of the time. Intense playing in earnest! Digipak edition, with seven additional tracks. Definitely recommended! (JL) -
DILLINGER - DILLINGER - Don't Lie To The Band - CAN Unidisc Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The second album, in a similar vein, although somewhat weaker. -
DILLINGER - DILLINGER - Dillinger - CAN Unidisc Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Released in 1974, the great debut record by this Canadian group "gets into you" from the first listen. Typical, progressive playing with guitar, organ, sax and flute in the leading roles. Only four tracks including a great cover of "Nature's Way" from the repertoire of Spirit and the 17-minute "Live And Return", which took up the whole second side of the original vinyl! Canadian CD. Definitely recommended! -
DIAGONAL - DIAGONAL - Second Mechanism - UK Rise Above Digipack - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
A fantastic second album by the Brits! "Second Mechanism" is excellent, heavyish, progressive material, recorded on old analogue equipment, as if plucked straight from 1970-73! Guitars, mellotron, analogue keyboards, saxophone, flute and classic-sounding drums. In my opinion it is perhaps even a better album than the debut! As before, long, instrumental, slightly psychedelic forms full of changes of tempo and mood dominate here too. If this album had come out 40 years ago we would all have "prayed" to it, like to the best classics of prog rock! We absolutely recommend it to all fans of good, progressive playing! -
DIABOLUS - DIABOLUS - Diabolus - GER Digipack Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
One of the best forgotten, underground British albums! A superb British formation harking back to the style of Jethro Tull and a little Colosseum - but also making use of elements of heavy, guitar-driven rock and folk. The album originally came out on Bellaphon only in Germany. German digipak edition. A must! (JL) -
DEMON FUZZ - DEMON FUZZ - Afreaka! +3 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The best rock record ever made by black musicians - beating the early Osibisa albums! Remastered, British edition of a superb album combining classic, juicy prog-rock with elements of caustic funk and good jazz - something like Hannibal and a stronger If. Plenty of Hammond, nice saxophone and flute parts, great, almost heavy-rock drumming and above all long, extended tracks. Additionally three tracks from a rare EP. This is rocking and an absolute must! (JL) -
DEMIAN (US prog) - DEMIAN - Rock Star Farm - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Attention! This is not the heavy rock Demian from Texas (transformed from the psychedelic formation Bubble Puppy), but a quite different, progressive, also American Demian, who released their only, very rare album in 1974 on the local label Starburst. Rock Star Farm is a kind of ambitious rock opera, tackling the most negative side of the rock lifestyle, that is... premature death. More on this in the libretto reproduced inside the booklet, while the music itself is a very original, quite catchy and very professional cross, full of changing moods, between late-ish The Doors and the hard rock sound (slow tempos + Hammonds) of the group Bloodrock, with a nice, strong vocal that is a blend of Arthur Brown and David Bowie. All the fairly short tracks form a kind of 35-minute rock suite in which it is hard to be bored and which is certainly worth getting to know! Very good, clean sound quality, mastered (like all Flawed Gems CDs) from the original vinyl. Highly recommended! -
DELIVERY (see also: Caravan / Gong / Soft Machine) - CAROL GRIMES AND DELIVERY - Fools Meeting +7 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A wonderful, progressive and without doubt pioneering album with distinctly jazzy elements, released at the end of 1970 - recorded by future musicians of Gong, Caravan, Nucleus and Soft Machine. This CD, lasting 79 minutes, contains splendid, extended compositions free of musical padding, a dense sound, and above all the fantastic, emotional (and fortunately free of the hoarseness popular at the time...) female vocal of Carol Grimes - one of the best rock vocalists of the day! How good this album is can be heard literally from the first 10-20 seconds! NOTE! The earlier CD version, long unavailable, was credited under the name Delivery, but the original vinyl (faithfully reproduced in this booklet) was credited as Carol Grimes And Delivery. Additionally 7 tracks are included, among them the B-side of a rare single from 1970 and a short BBC radio performance. Great sound! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
DELIRIUM - DELIRIUM - Dolce Acqua - ITA Card Sleeve Editionprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
Very good debut album by an Italian formation playing richly arranged, rather delicate progressive rock (with influences of jazz and psychedelia), with a good deal of flute and piano parts. Beautifully presented, gatefold card sleeve. Highly recommended! (K) -
DEEP FEELING (UK prog) - DEEP FEELING - Deep Feeling - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Great British prog rock from 1971, released on CD for the first time since a very old Japanese edition - and what is more with better sound and with an (average) bonus track! ATTENTION! This is a different band from the also British, but psychedelic Deep Feeling, released by Sunbeam! The only album by the progressive quintet contained typical, ambitious, slightly classicising playing with dominant Hammond organ - in the vein of early Genesis, Beggars Opera, Yes and Argent! This is an absolute treat for every fan of the genre! Highly recommended! (JL) -
DEAR MR. TIME - DEAR MR TIME - Grandfather - Dear Mr Time Anthology (3CD) - UK Grapefruit Remastered Expanded Edition - LAST COPYprice: 180,00 PLN / 45,00 EUR
A three-disc set containing all the recordings of the British band. On the first disc it played charming progressive rock in the vein of the debut of Barclay James Harvest, combined with the second Raw Material album and with a pinch of Procol Harum and Genesis from the period of the LP "Trespass". In 1970 it was hard to make an average record if you had good role models! This is very top-shelf playing, where all the components have been properly balanced. Very good production and sound quality. Included with the record are 13 demo tracks, recorded at home by the band's leader - Chris Baker. In the new millennium the band reformed and recorded two more albums, "Brontosaurs And Bling" (2015) and "Time" (2018). For the purposes of this compilation, 14 previously unpublished bonus tracks from 2020-2021 were added to them. -
DE DE LIND - DE DE LIND - Io Non So Da Dove Vengo - ITA Remastered Card Sleeve Edition - LISTENprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
An excellent, classic album from Italy! You can hear that the gentlemen had a weakness for Ian Anderson's band. Highly recommended! Remastered 2004 reissue, in a gatefold sleeve. -
DAY OF PHOENIX - DAY OF PHOENIX - Wide Open N-Way +5 - EU Eclipse Remastered Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A remastered edition of the excellent debut by a Danish progressive band, from 1970. Typical, rather dark, decidedly guitar-driven Scandinavian rock from the turn of the 60s and 70s - long tracks, lots of improvisation bordering on psychedelic rock. Additionally five tracks - from a rare single from 1968 and from British and Danish TV. A MUST! (JL) -
DAY OF PHOENIX - DAY OF PHOENIX - Mind Funeral - Recordings 1968-1972 (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LAST COPIES - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
A two-disc digipak containing both albums recorded by this excellent Danish progressive band. The discs have been newly remastered from the original Chapter 1 Records tapes.

DAVISON, BRIAN (see also: Nice/Refugee/Bell + Arc) - BRIAN DAVISON'S EVERY WHICH WAY - Every Which Way - AUS Progressive Line Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Released in 1970, the only album by the drummer of The Nice, or, as another school of thought has it, the only record by the group Every Which Way! My British vinyl is called Brian Davison's Every Which Way. The band played a rather subtle, typically British variety of progressive rock with elements of jazz. No madness, just very nice, extended tracks full of changing moods. The bass was played here by Alan Cartwright (later in Procol Harum) and the vocals were sung by Graham Bell (ex-Skip Bifferty). Progressive Line edition. Highly recommended! -

Released in 1970, the only album by the drummer of The Nice, or, as another school of thought has it - the only record by the band Every Which Way! The band played a rather subtle, typically British variety of progressive rock with jazz elements. No wildness, just very nice expansive tracks, full of changing moods. Alan Cartwright (later in Procol Harum) played bass here, and the vocals were performed by Graham Bell (ex-Skip Bifferty). Remastered 2020 edition, in a digipak. -
DAMNATION (see also: Damnation Of Adam Blessing) - DAMNATION - Which Is The Justice, Which Is The Thief - EU Digipack - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The band's third album (and the first with the shortened name of the band), from 1971. Half of the tracks are classic hard rock (as on the second album by the group Damnation Of Adam Blessing), while several tracks have been 'enriched' with orchestrations. -
DALTON - DALTON - Rifflessioni: Idea d'Infinito - GER Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A classic, Italian album from 1973 - worth a fortune in its vinyl version. If someone adores 'old' Jethro Tull (with dominant flute parts) - this is just the record! Highly recommended! -
CZAR - CZAR - Czar +2 - AUS Progressive Line Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
An earlier edition with two bonus tracks from the single, but with better sound than the Sunbeam CD! A fantastic record! A completely unknown British group, somewhat reminiscent of The Moody Blues, but playing with more bite. Plenty of mellotron and organ, sophisticated compositions, a psychedelic atmosphere. I love these slightly "dreamy" productions, where the bands sound very 'mysterious' (e.g. Velvett Fogg, Ghost, Woody Kern, Arcadium). A MUST! -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Second Album (CD+DVD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Editionprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
The second, excellent album containing, among others, the hit single "Back Street Luv" and the exquisite, 13-minute "Piece Of Mind". In addition, five tracks from the BBC, from John Peel's programme. The DVD has television recordings from 1971. -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - BBC Live In Concert 1971 Plus... - FRA On The Air Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
This CD contains 80 minutes of excellent material, not previously released on CD, from the period of the first three albums - with sound of perfect quality! A 25-minute concert from the BBC studio (with the legendary John Peel as presenter - material unreleased on any CD!) + 40 fascinating minutes live from the studio of the German Beat-Club (including the brilliant 10-minute "Peace Of Mind") + a short piece from Belgian television and - attention! - two studio tracks made in 1971 and 1972 on the A-sides of vinyl singles - never released on any CD! Highly recommended! (JL) -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Curved Space & Infinity (Rarities Series Vol. 2) (2CD) - UK Press - UNIKALNY CDprice: 120,00 PLN / 30,00 EUR
A compilation album where the very division into two discs – "Curved Space" and "Infinity" – suggests a conceptual distinction between more "earthly" prog rock and freer, almost cosmic experiment. The first disc is closer to the tradition of British progressive rock of the 70s. The second disc ("Infinity") is already decidedly more open material – at times brushing against ambient, jazz improvisation or even proto-electronics. ONLY ONE COPY! New, sealed. -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Air Cut - UK Esoteric Digipack Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The fourth album and a new line-up - Way's place was taken by the then very young Eddie Jobson and a great, very dynamic record was made (lots of guitars, lively drumming) with the stunning, 11-minute epic "Metamorphosis". -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Air Cut - GER Repertoire Remastered Card Sleeve Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The band's fourth album, from 1973, with a new line-up - Darryl Way's place was taken by the then very young Eddie Jobson, and the result was a great, very dynamic record (lots of guitars, lively drumming) with the stunning, 11-minute, epic "Metamorphosis". Edition in a gatefold cardboard sleeve. Highly recommended! -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Second Album - UK Repertoire Remastered Card Sleeve Editionprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
The second, excellent album, from 1971, containing, among others, the catchy single "Back Street Luv" and the superb, 13-minute "Piece Of Mind". Remastered edition in a gatefold card sleeve. Highly recommended. -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Phantasmagoria (CD+DVD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
A remastered edition of the classic third album by this progressive band. "Phantasmagoria" was another great and varied progressive record, featuring such wonders as the 6-minute, changeable "Marie Antoinette" and the beautiful ballad "Melinda (More Or Less)" - one of the most beautiful moments in Curved Air's entire output! The first three or four albums belong to the broad canon of the genre; especially thanks to the nice, though sometimes too insistent violin parts (Darryl Way - later in Wolf) and interesting, charming compositions. -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Midnight Wire - GER Repertoire Editionprice: 65,00 PLN / 16,25 EUR
The fifth studio album in the Repertoire edition. The first with Stewart Copeland (later the founder of The Police) on drums. -

The group's fourth album, from 1973, with a new line-up - Darryl Way's place was taken by the then very young Eddie Jobson and the result was a great, very dynamic record (plenty of guitars, lively drumming) with the stunning, 11-minute, epic "Metamorphosis". Edition in a digipak. Highly recommended! -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Air Conditioning - UK Repertoire Remastered Card Sleeve Edition - LISTENprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
The wonderful, progressive debut of this British formation is one of the most thrilling albums of that period. The band combined elements of rock, ballad, classical music and folk in a very skilful and original way, and all of it was kept in a fairly dark and psychedelic mood. My favourites are the track opening side B of the original vinyl, the superb, dark, 6-minute "Hide And Seek", and the perhaps even better "Situations". In fact every composition here deserves attention... This is simply an album without weak points! Remastered Repertoire edition, in a gatefold card sleeve. A must! -
CURVED AIR - CURVED AIR - Air Conditioning +11 (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Editionprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
The wonderful, progressive debut by this British band is one of the most thrilling albums of that period. The band combined, in a very skilful and original way, elements of rock, ballad, classical music and folk, and everything was kept in a rather dark and psychedelic mood. My favourites are the superb, dark, 6-minute "Hide And Seek" that opened side B of the original vinyl and the perhaps even better "Situations". In truth every one of the compositions here deserves attention... It is simply an album without weak points! In addition, eleven previously unreleased tracks (alternative studio versions and recordings for the BBC). -

CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - Second Sight +7 - EU Eclipse Remastered Expanded - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
After such a fantastic record as the Danes' 1971 debut, it would have been hard to record anything better, but the 'second', released in 1972, almost maintained that level! Recorded with an unchanged line-up, the album was kept in a very similar, folk-hard-progressive mood. The same charming vocal, electric guitars mixed with acoustic ones, occasional flute, at times almost hard rock thrashing. In addition, seven very good bonus tracks from the period - mainly from rare singles. This version beats the previous CD editions hands down (in every respect)! Highly recommended! -
CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - Mountain Music - Polydor Recordings 1971-1973 (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
A remastered, two-disc set containing all the albums released by Polydor by probably the best Danish progressive band ("Culpeper's Orchard" from 1971, "Second Sight" and "Going For A Song" from 1972) and four bonus tracks, two of them on CD for the first time. Additionally a 24-page booklet, with interviews with, among others, the vocalist/guitarist Cy Nicklin, the bassist Michael Friis, the drummer Tom McEwan and the guitarist Neils Vangkild. The whole in a gatefold digipak. A MUST! (MU) -
CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - CULPEPER'S ORCHARD - Culpeper's Orchard - AUS Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
One of the three best albums ever recorded in Scandinavia and probably the coolest record from Denmark! This cult, though still not widely known, band brilliantly combined sophisticated, dynamic, guitar playing in the vein of Led Zeppelin with typical prog-rock a la Procol Harum and elements of folk. Plenty of electric guitars, Hammond organ, lots of changes of tempo and mood - simply a perfect album! An absolute must! -
CROSS, DAVID & BANKS, PETER (see also: King Crimson / Yes / Flash) - DAVID CROSS & PETER BANKS - Crossover - UK Noisy Edition - LISTENprice: 50,00 PLN / 12,50 EUR
A record based on the musicians' improvisations, recorded on 10 August 2010. Cross returned to work on the album in 2018 (five years after Banks's death) and, with the help of various musicians associated with Yes and King Crimson (including Tony Kaye, Geoff Downes, Pat Mastelotto, Billy Sherwood, Jeremy Stacey), added the remaining parts. Digipak. -
CRESSIDA (see also: Uriah Heep) - CRESSIDA - Cressida / Asylum (2CD) - UK BGO Remastered Editionprice: 95,00 PLN / 23,75 EUR
Beautiful, richly arranged art-rock, comparable to the music of the Moody Blues, Rare Bird and Procol Harum. Both albums are stunning, although the hitherto underrated debut seems to be the better one. Remastered, double British edition. A MUST! -
CRESSIDA (see also: Uriah Heep) - CRESSIDA - Cressida - UK Repertoire Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Released in early 1970 by Vertigo, an excellent debut by a British band, instrumentally very reminiscent of early Rare Bird with electric guitar and of Procol Harum. A must! -
CRESSIDA (see also: Uriah Heep) - CRESSIDA - Cressida - GER Repertoire Card Sleeve Edition - LISTENprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
Brilliant debut by a British formation, in its instrumental layer very reminiscent of Rare Bird with electric guitar. Remastered Repertoire edition. A must! -
CRAZY MABEL - CRAZY MABEL - Crazy Mabel - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
European reissue of the only, completely forgotten, but great album by a British progressive band, originally released in 1970 (only in the Netherlands and Germany), echoing almost directly the slightly jazzy and so typical of 1970 (saxophone, flute, electric guitar, dense drumming) eclectic style of early Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig, Traffic and the unknown band Diabolus. Geoff Leigh played the wind instruments - soon after a member of Henry Cow. The only flaws of this album are: the 3-minute, dreary track opening the whole thing, which departs from the style of the rest of the compositions, and the (probably) artificial applause pasted in between tracks. Excellent sound quality! A must for fans of progressive rock! (JL) -
CRAVINKEL - CRAVINKEL – Cravinkel & Garden of Loneliness + bonus (Live Waldbühne Berlin 1971) (2CD) - MIG Music Editionprice: 130,00 PLN / 32,50 EUR
The two-disc release Cravinkel & Garden of Loneliness presents the complete studio output of one of the most interesting, and at the same time underrated, German bands of the turn of the sixties and seventies. The first album (with a sleeve showing the musicians on a haystack) resembled early Neil Young, while the second is very intense, hard rock (slightly progressive), jamming playing live - in the studio. Only three tracks, rock dynamite! Highly recommended! -
COUNTRY LANE - COUNTRY LANE - Substratum - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A remastered, great-sounding reissue, unavailable for many years, of the only album, released in February 1973, by a forgotten Swiss band. The band impressed with a high standard of performance and maturity of composition, and at the same time skilfully and variously combined a heavy, organ-and-guitar sound with distinctly British roots with melodic rock. On the one hand you can hear here the influences of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd and Van Der Graaf Generator, but also of French progressive bands such as Ange and Triangle. You listen to the record in one breath, because (except for one 3-minute musical joke) it was filled with 'nothing but the dense stuff'! I will only add that on the second part of the original vinyl there was a 20-minute, progressive suite! 'Substratum' remains one of the most interesting, though little-known, records of continental European progressive rock of the first half of the 70s. A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
COSMIC DEALER (see also: Zipps) - COSMIC DEALER - Crystallization +5 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Released in 1971, the legendary, only album by a Dutch band combining at times heavyish progressive rock with psychedelia and which may bring to mind the Pretty Things' LP "Parachute" (1970), underrated in Poland, as well as the early recordings of Focus and Jethro Tull. As an original on the Negram label it is probably the most expensive progressive record from the Netherlands, fetching 1000-1200 euros in perfect condition. Plus five recordings from Dutch TV from 1971 are included. Very highly recommended! (JL) -
COS - COS - Viva Boma +4 - FRA Musea Expanded Editionprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
The second album by a Belgian band referencing the style of Soft Machine, Magma and Univers Zero. Fans of Canterbury sounds and Recommended Records will be delighted! -
COMUS - COMUS - First Utterance +4 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded - LISTEN
Psychedelic, wildly twisted prog-folk with lyrics about crime, madness and so on... A cult first album that belongs to the canon of British progressive rock in the broad sense, supplemented with 4 bonus tracks. -
COLOSSEUM II (see also: Gary Moore / Rainbow) - COLOSSEUM II - Strange New Flesh + BBC Studio Session (1975-1976) (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Editionprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
Double, remastered edition of the first album by the second incarnation of the band - with Jon Hiseman on drums, Gary Moore on guitar and Don Airey on keyboards. The original LP, released by the label Bronze in 1976, contained six extended, jazz-rock compositions harking back indirectly to the style of the old Colosseum, though decidedly closer to the recordings of the then much admired Mahavishnu Orchestra. In addition, recordings from the band's studio sessions made in 1975 (disc 1) and in 1976 (disc 2) are included. Recommended! (JL) -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Live At The Piper Club, Rome, Italy 1971 - UK Repertoire Remastered Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
First time on CD! A recording of the performance at the Piper Club in Rome, in 1971. A remastered edition in a digipak, from 2020. -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Upon Tomorrow (2CD) - UK Repertoire Remastered Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
A two-disc album containing recordings from the "Supershow" concert (1969), a performance at the Questors Theatre (1970) and studio recordings and demos from 1971. The material shows the band in a transitional period between blues-rock and more extended progressive rock with elements of jazz. Improvisations, extended compositions and the characteristic playing of Jon Hiseman's rhythm section dominate. New, sealed. -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Live At The Boston Tea Party - UK Repertoire Remastered Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
Recordings from the performance at the Boston Tea Party, on 13 August 1969. A remastered edition in a digipak, from 2020. -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Valentyne Suite / The Grass Is Greener (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
A sensational, double British reissue from Esoteric of the second album by the excellent British band - without doubt one of the most famous albums in the history of progressive rock - with the wonderful, 18-minute title suite. The second CD is taken up by the LP "The Grass Is Greener" (1970), once released only in the States, containing generally unreleased material with Clempson on vocals, including excellent studio versions of "Bolero", "Lost Angeles" and "Rope Ladder To The Moon". In addition, four rare tracks. A MUST! (JL) -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Transmissions - Live At The BBC (6CD) - UK Repertoire Remastered Editionprice: 180,00 PLN / 45,00 EUR
The first fully authorised release, consisting of over 60 remastered recordings from BBC performances, from 1969-1971. Many previously unpublished. Additionally a 44-page booklet with photographs and interviews with former members of the band and an introduction by Pete Brown. A MUST! -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Those Who Are About To Die Salute You +3 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Released in spring 1969, the brilliant debut by the British progressive band founded by three former musicians of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (who wanted to develop). A must! (JL) -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - The Reunion Concerts 1994 (2CD+DVD) - UK Repertoire Remastered Editionprice: 130,00 PLN / 32,50 EUR
The live album The Reunion Concerts 1994 documents the return to the stage of the legendary British group Colosseum after more than twenty years since the band's break-up. The recordings come mainly from the concert at the E-Werk in Cologne on 28 October 1994 and from the Zelt-Musik-Festival in Freiburg. On the two CDs the band presents a cross-section of its most important compositions. Classics appear such as "Those About to Die", "Theme for an Imaginary Western", "The Machine Demands Another Sacrifice" and the finale "Walking in the Park". The combination of rock, jazz and blues characteristic of Colosseum still sounds fresh, especially as there are also virtuoso improvisational passages. The release also comes with a DVD with a recording of the whole concert from Cologne. Despite the passing of years the musicians play with the energy and freedom that were always Colosseum's trademark. -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Live In Germany (2CD+DVD) - UK Repertoire Remastered Editionprice: 140,00 PLN / 35,00 EUR
Excellent material from the band's archives, from 1969-1971, from concert tours of Germany and Austria. 2CD and a unique DVD. Highly recommended! -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Live In Finland 1970 (+BBC Sessions 1969-1970) - FRA On The Air Remastered - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A limited, great 80-minute CD containing a 50-minute show by the band, from August 1970 (with very good sound quality - practically equal to the Boston tape from 1969) and two never-released radio sessions. The concert was recorded for Finnish radio at a rock festival in a rather unique, because short-lived (probably my favourite) line-up - with Clempson on vocals. The setlist is very interesting, as are the two BBC radio sessions from 1969 and 1970 included. The 1970 one sounds rather average, but e.g. the 10-minute, veeery extended (compared with the nondescript record version) track "Daughter Of Time" is the most fascinating Colosseum I have heard in my life! Listening to the ultra-dynamic acceleration halfway through the recording, even despite the poor sound quality, I simply got goosebumps. That is the power of music! The 1969 session (still with James Litherland - later leader of Mogul Thrash) sounds quite good and contains, among other things, an early, still incomplete version of "Valentyne Suite". It is an excellent complement to the CD "Live In Boston", adored by fans! A must! (JL) -
COLOSSEUM - COLOSSEUM - Live At Ruisrock Festival, Turku, Finland 1970 - UK Repertoire Remastered Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
A concert recorded on 22 August 1970 for Finnish radio at a rock festival in a rather unique, because short-lived (probably my favourite) line-up - with Clempson on vocals. A remastered 2020 edition, in a digipak. (JL) -
