TRUBROT - TRUBROT - Trubrot - EU Walhalla Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The best-known (among rock fans) band from Iceland! The first, folky-hippie album was recorded still with a female vocalist and contained several covers of well-known hits, a transcription of a composition by Wagner and a 9-minute mini rock opera... The lyrics are sung in Danish (in Icelandic?). -
CD
TRIUMVIRAT - TRIUMVIRAT - Mediterranean Tales (Across The Waters) +4 - UK Eastworld Remastered Expanded Edition - LAST COPIESprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
The group's debut album, once released by EMI Harvest, based on the ubiquitous sound of Hammond organ. Classicising, nice playing close to the output of Ekseption and ELP. Remastered edition from the British label Eastworld, with four single bonus tracks. -
CD
TRIUMVIRAT - TRIUMVIRAT - Illusions On A Double Dimple +4 - UK Eastworld Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered edition of the group's very good second album! Triumvirat is one of the most popular German bands - directly referencing the ideas of ELP and Yes. Additionally four tracks from singles. Recommended. (JL) -
CD
TRIP - Caronte - Italian Remastered - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Rewelacyjny, drugi album włosko-brytyjskiej (2 na 2), progresywnej formacji! Absolutny szczyt włoskiego, progresywnego grania! Mnóstwo ryczących Hammondów, konkretne i melodyjne partie gitar; świetne melodie, czadowa sekcja rytmiczna i (wyjątkowo dla włoskich zespołów) angielskie wokale! Był taki czas że wręcz oszalałem na punkcie pierwszego utworu z tej płyty, chociaż reszta również jest świetna! Obok albumu Museo Rosenbach jest to mój ulubiony LP z kraju spaghetti westernów! UWAGA! Nowa, bardzo atrakcyjna cena! Jeśli ktoś nie ma jeszcze tego tytułu bądź powstrzymywał się do tej pory z zakupem ze względu na dość wysoką kwotę to teraz jest najlepsza okazja aby nabyć ten znakomity CD!!! To samo dotyczy bardzo udanego, trzeciego albumu jak i kilku innych klasycznych włoskich płyt! MUS! -
CD
TRIP - TRIP - The Trip +8 - EU Eclipse Remastered Expanded - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The debut album by an excellent progressive band from Italy (two Italians and two Englishmen). English vocals, plenty of overdriven Hammond organ and a still palpable, strongly psychedelic mood of the late 60s. Highly recommended! -
CD
TRIANA - TRIANA - Triana (El Patio) - SPA Edition - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The debut album by the Spanish band. -
CD
TRIANA - TRIANA - Hijos del Agobio - SPA Warner Edition - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Second album by a Spanish group performing music that is a combination of elements of Andalusian flamenco music with progressive and psychedelic rock. "Hijos del Agobio" achieved greater commercial success than the debut and stood out for its politically engaged lyrics, which reflected the tense and unstable nature of the political climate in Spain at the time. -
CD
TRAFFIC - TRAFFIC - Gold (2CD) - EU Pressprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
A very good, broad cross-section of Traffic's work from 1967–1974 – that is from the psychedelic rock of the late 60s to the more progressive and jazz-rock sound of the early 70s. -
CD
TRAFFIC - TRAFFIC - Traffic (2nd Album) +5 - EU Remastered Expanded Edition
A very influential (like, say, the early albums of Procol Harum), but all in all underrated, early-progressive second album containing, among others, "Pearly Queen", "Feelin' Alright" and the brilliant "Cryin' To Be Heard". Plenty of nice bonuses and charming artwork - as in the 'Island Remasters' series. Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
TRACTOR (see also: Way We Live) - TRACTOR - Tractor +6 - UK Expanded Editionprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
British, expanded edition with six bonuses. An English group playing dynamic, guitar rock combined with folk - all in all music that is hard to define. Plenty of guitar, improvised tracks interwoven with ballads. The same line-up had recorded the brilliant album "A Candle For Judith" a year earlier - still under the banner of The Way We Live. Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
TRACE (see also: Ekseption / Focus / Brainbox) - TRACE - Trace +12 - GER Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A great album! The debut of this Dutch supergroup (a keyboardist from Ekseption, a bassist from Cuby & The Blizzards and a drummer from Focus) belongs to the very canon of European progressive rock. The first track, running to as much as thirteen minutes, is a masterpiece of the art-rock world, resembling the best work of Focus, ELP, Refugee and Yes. I remember that years ago I simply could not tear myself away from this record! Additionally two tracks from the single and the first part of the third LP "White Ladies" (1976). A MUST! -
CD
TRACE (see also: Ekseption / Focus / Brainbox) - TRACE - Birds - GER Expanded Edition - VERY RARE
The second album by a Dutch supergroup made up of former members of Ekseption, Cuby & The Blizzards and (on the second one) Wolf (Ian Mosley, later of Marillion). The music is very richly arranged and draws on the work of classical composers. The band played without a guitar, but fans of ELP, Yes and Refugee will be very pleased. The album also includes a 22-minute suite. In addition, half of the third album, 'White Ladies' (1976). Recommended! -
CD
TOTAL ISSUE - TOTAL ISSUE - Total Issue +2 - SWE Flawed Gems Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! A fantastic only album, released in 1971 (by United Artists), by a French formation singing mainly in English and playing thoroughbred, slightly psychedelic, rather dark progressive rock in the style of somewhat softened output of Jethro Tull, Van Der Graaf Generator, Procol Harum and early Genesis - with a touch of ballad. Attention! The 'thin' sounds of a storm at the beginning of track five are not the fault of the remastering, but of the poor form of the effects specialist, as on the vinyl it sounds just as poor... It is a very good and fairly easy-to-get-into album - sounding more like 1969-70 than 1971. In addition two unreleased instrumental recordings from French television are included. Top five of French rock! A MUST! -
CD
TORTOISE - TORTOISE - Standards - US Thrill Jockey Card Sleeve Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The fourth studio album by one of the most important post-rock bands. -
CD
TONTON MACOUTE - TONTON MACOUTE - Tonton Macoute +3 - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, LIMITED edition of the only and truly wonderful album by the Brits, originally released in 1971 by RCA Neon. This is one of the best, forgotten titles when it comes to British progressive, slightly jazzy rock! A rich sound full of changes of mood, plenty of instrumental parts, convincing arrangements and distinct inspirations from the music of the East. The band's style can be compared to East Of Eden, Out Of Focus, Caravan and Jade Warrior. Additionally included are three unique and very nice recordings made for BBC radio in 1969-1970 under the banner Windmill, namely covers of compositions by The Beatles ('Rocky Racoon'), Cat Stevens ('Matthew And Son') and Colosseum ('Elegy'). Windmill recorded several singles and after the tragic death of their vocalist changed their name to Tonton Macoute. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: NEW, sealed. -
CD
TOMORROW'S GIFT (see also: Release Music Orchestra) - TOMORROW'S GIFT - Tomorrow's Gift +1 - EU Eclipse Remastered Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered edition of the debut album, released in 1970 (and worth about 1000 euros in the original in perfect condition - even the reissue from the label Second Battle, from the 90s, is worth 100 euros), by a great German group playing a rather dark variety of progressive rock in the style of Frumpy, Jethro Tull, Out Of Focus, Orange Peel, Julian's Treatment or East Of Eden - with a female vocal. 63 minutes of sophisticated, yet catchy, juicy music with the use of wind instruments (sax, flute). In terms of the instrumental layer it is an impeccable record, though some people have a problem getting used to the voice of the vocalist, who is somewhat reminiscent of Inga Rumpf (of Frumpy). I happen to like that vocal, besides there is not much of it. A classic of German rock - tasting much better after two or three listens! The CD contains a bonus track from a rare German compilation from 1970. Highly recommended! -
CD
TITUS GROAN - TITUS GROAN - Titus Groan +3 - GER Expanded Digipack Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
One of the coolest unknown British records of the jazzy prog-rock genre! A combination of the aesthetics of Jethro Tull, Colosseum, If and Walrus. The CD, released in a digipak, also contains three bonuses from an EP. Highly recommended! -
CD
TIME (YU) - TIME - Time (1st Album +4) - ITA Eastern Time Remastered Expanded - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered and genuinely fantastic-sounding edition of the excellent debut album, released in 1972, by a Yugoslav, progressive formation. Today it is hard to believe, but in Yugoslavia, dominated by single releases, it was only the second LP (full-length record) of rock music released in that country! A few years earlier only the pop rock debut of Grupa 220 had had that honour. To tell the truth it is hard to define the music of Time, but one can probably risk a comparison with Traffic, Procol Harum, Focus, and even Atomic Rooster on sleeping pills. In addition two great live recordings lasting 23 minutes in total and two tracks from the brand new 1973 single are included. A MUST! -
CD
THORUP, PETER (see also: Beefeaters / CCS) - PETER THORUP WITH FRIENDS - Wake Up Your Mind - EU Digipack Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Recorded at the beginning of 1970, the debut, heavyish, bluesy and folky, that is, decidedly progressive, very good album by the leader and guitarist of the Danish formation Beefeaters - Peter Thorup (later in CCS). Distinguished guests include members of Maxwells, Midnight Sun, Youngflowers and Culpeper's Orchard! Highly recommended! -
CD
THORS HAMMER - THORS HAMMER - Thors Hammer - EU Prog Gems Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Released by Metronome in 1971, an excellent, classic album by a Danish progressive band with a full sound based on Hammond organ and juicy guitar sounds. Fairly long, 6-8 minute tracks with intelligent arrangements, reminiscent of the most interesting recordings of the brilliant British band If, as well as Hannibal (from the UK) and the popular Danish group Midnight Sun. The record was dominated by attractive saxophone and flute parts, at times quite heavy, intense guitar parts, and also the then obligatory Hammond organ sounds. Attention was drawn to the very catchy compositions, excellent, breathy production and spacious sound. An almost perfect record! The original Danish vinyl in perfect condition sells for 1200 euros! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: NEW, SEALED. -
CD
THOMAS, RAY (see also: Moody Blues) - RAY THOMAS - From Mighty Oaks - UK Esoteric Remastered Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Very tastefully presented British edition of the debut (soft-progressive) album by the vocalist and flautist of The Moody Blues. Beautiful edition with a thick, attractive booklet. Recommended. (JL) -
CD
THIRD EAR BAND - THIRD EAR BAND - Magus - Unreleased 4th Album - UK Angel Air Editionprice: 65,00 PLN / 16,25 EUR
Recorded in December 1972, but unreleased in its day, the fourth album by a very eclectic, folk-jazz-progressive formation recording for EMI Harvest. This record has plenty of then modern electronics and strongly distinct rhythms. Soon afterwards Simon House (violin/synthesiser) moved to Hawkwind. Earlier, in 1991, this material came out in Italy under the name Prophecies. -
CD
THIRD EAR BAND - THIRD EAR BAND - Elements 1970-1971 (3CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 130,00 PLN / 32,50 EUR
The three-disc box set contains: the band's second album "Third Ear Band", also known as "Elements"; the third album, with music for the German film "Abelard & Heloise" and a third disc with tracks recorded for the BBC and from a recording session at Abbey Road. -
CD
THINK (NZ) - THINK - We'll Give You A Buzz - US Digipack Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Released in 1976, the very good, only album by a hard-progressive band from New Zealand, playing somewhat heavy progressive rock, a combination of the style of early Rush, Manfred Mann's Earth Band (from the period of the LP "Solar Fire") and early Camel recordings - all nicely arranged, played with finesse and bite. Recommended! (JL) -
CD
TETRAGON (see also: Trikolon) - TETRAGON - Nature +1 - US Lion Edition - LISTENprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Tastefully presented American edition, in a 12-page booklet containing, among other things, a reproduction of the vinyl's inner sleeve and plenty of unfamiliar photos. This is a very good, and at times downright sensational, heavily improvised album by a German formation (originating from Trikolon), playing a mixture of organ sounds in the vein of The Nice, Egg and Brian Auger, with swinging, guitar-driven (slightly Purple-esque) improvisations - always against the background of a pulsating, racing rhythm section. The few vocals are in English. This is a record that will delight all lovers of solid German playing from the very beginning of the 70s. The production of the record itself is good, although one has to remember that it was a private pressing. As a bonus, an excellent 14-minute live track has been added - perhaps even better than the album! Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
TEMPEST (see also: Colosseum / Juicy Lucy) - TEMPEST - In Concert 1973-1974 - FRA On The Air Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Superb, 80-minute unofficial material coming from two BBC Transcription Service vinyl records - released exclusively for radio stations and absolutely unavailable in shops! Tempest was formed on the initiative of Colosseum leader Jon Hiseman, bassist Mark Clarke (Colosseum, Uriah Heep), vocalist Paul Williams (ex-Bluesbreakers, Juicy Lucy) and the excellent guitarist Allan Holdsworth (Igginbottom, Nucleus, and later Soft Machine and U.K.). The first 54 minutes are a recording of an excellent concert recorded as a quintet - with two guitarists: Holdsworth and Ollie Halsall (ex-Patto). It so happened that Halsall, regarded today as one of the best guitarists in the history of rock, joined the group... the day before, hence the guitar attack here is unbelievable! Seriously, there are moments here that are almost impossible to believe! The last 26 minutes are a performance from 1974 - recorded after the release of the second LP - as a trio, though the playing is still very good! ATTENTION! The material from 1973 came out a few years ago on the double CD anthology "Under The Blossom", but in the absence of the original BBC vinyl the label Sanctuary made use of an old bootleg, which was not only dullish, but also slowed down! I assure you that the version on this CD, limited to 500 copies, sounds simply frenzied! A MUST! (JL) -
CD
TEMPEST (see also: Colosseum / Juicy Lucy) - TEMPEST - Tempest / Living In Fear (2CD) - UK BGO Remastered Editionprice: 95,00 PLN / 23,75 EUR
Both albums by the British band led by Jon Hiseman. Remastered 2023 edition. -
CD
TEMPEST (see also: Colosseum / Juicy Lucy) - TEMPEST - Tempest - AUS Progressive Line Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Tempest is a slightly jazzy, heavy rock supergroup with a full, powerful sound. Impressive line-up: drummer Jon Hiseman, bassist Mark Clarke (both from Colosseum), guitarist Allan Holdsworth (ex-Igginbottom, Nucleus) and vocalist Paul Williams (ex-Juicy Lucy and Aynsley Dunbar's Blue Whale). I draw your attention to Holdsworth's excellent guitar parts and Hiseman's dense, as always, drumming! A must! -
CD
TEMPEST (see also: Colosseum / Juicy Lucy) - TEMPEST - Living In Fear +2 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered British edition, expanded by two tracks, of the second album, recorded with a changed line-up, by the slightly jazzy, heavy-rock supergroup. This time the line-up once again included Jon Hiseman and Mark Clarke (both of Colosseum) and a new acquisition - the excellent guitarist Ollie Halsall, known from Patto among others, who also plays keyboard instruments here. Highly recommended! -
CD
TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI (see also: Jukka Tolonen) - TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI - Tasavallan Presidentti +5 - EU Eclipse Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Released in 1969, a superb debut album by a Finnish band (the most popular alongside Wigwam) (with a British vocalist) referring to the style of very early Jethro Tull and Procol Harum and Traffic's second album. Very good guitars, a bit of flute and saxophone, great playing from the rhythm section, and that ambient, spacious, lively sound characteristic of the music of the late 60s. Without doubt it is in the top ten of Scandinavian rock! In addition, three tracks from singles (known from the previous CD edition) and two NEVER-RELEASED 12-minute pieces: a live cover of the best Blodwyn Pig track and a great studio track from 1970! Note! This is not the same material as on the 'Swedish' album of the same title recorded a year later! A must! (JL) -
CD
TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI (see also: Jukka Tolonen) - TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI - Tasavallan Presidentti (Swedish 2nd Album) / Lambert Land - EU Walhalla Digipack Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Captivating material in the style of If, Jethro Tull and Traffic, but played in a typically Scandinavian way - darker, juicier and very much from the heart! The CD contains the band's second LP (1970), released only in Sweden, and (as a "bonus") the third in the discography, "Lambert Land" (1972). Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI (see also: Jukka Tolonen) - TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI - Live At Ruisrock 1971 (2CD) - FIN Svart Remastered Expanded Digipack Editionprice: 130,00 PLN / 32,50 EUR
A live recording of one of the most important Finnish progressive bands of the early 70s, recorded at the Ruisrock festival in 1971. All the recordings previously unreleased! CD2 contains a bonus, nearly 20-minute "Better Move On (The Bargain)" from a concert in Helsinki. -
CD
TARANTULA (SPA prog) - TARANTULA - Tarantula 2 - EU Walhalla Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Second album by a Spanish progressive formation. On this record, released in 1977, the dominant role (unlike on the debut released a year earlier) was taken over by riff-based, almost hard rock guitar parts enriched with atmospheric, art-rock interludes of mellotron, Moog and Hammond organ. At times the band sounds as if it were recording at least 5 years earlier... There were few such records in the second half of the seventies. Recommended. (K) -
CD
TARANTULA (SPA prog) - TARANTULA - Tarantula 1 - EU Walhalla Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Debut album, released in 1976, by a Spanish progressive formation. It is dominated by art-rock, symphonic, keyboard (mainly mellotron) moods in the style of Refugee, Yes, Le Orme and P.F.M. enriched with nice electric guitar parts (at moments quite heavy) and a strong vocal. Classic, art-rock playing at a high level. -
CD
TAPESTRY - TAPESTRY - ...And Other Lost UK Progressive Bands - British Radio Sessions 1969-1971 - FRA On The Air - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Excellent compilation CD released by a small French label. The driving force of this release is the sensational formation Tapestry - an excellent British progressive group resembling the folk-progressive Trees and a delicate, very early Genesis in one - with female and male vocals. For unknown reasons the group never signed a record contract, but in August 1971 it played a concert at the BBC's London headquarters, a 25-minute excerpt of which was recorded and released in 1971... in 100 copies! I stress: this is fantastic, sophisticated, airy, melodic, progressive playing that should delight every fan of this genre! AN ABSOLUTE Must! The remaining 55 minutes are filled with generally excellent recordings from BBC promotional vinyls (together with the announcements of Brian Matthew, whom I adore) by unknown, or completely forgotten, formations, such as the heavy, psychedelic Griffin (that is, post-Skip Bifferty with a young Alan White on drums), the folk-progressive Ora (here exceptionally with the later rhythm section... of Wishbone Ash), Wommet (that is, pre-Mick Abrahams Band with violin), Blodwyn (that is, the declining Blodwyn Pig without Mick Abrahams but with... Peter Banks of Yes), the excellent, guitar-driven, intense Sweet Marriage (not known from the one single released in Germany - it is on some compilation from the label Wooden Hill) or finally the completely unknown, hard rock Natural Gas (sounding like Leaf Hound or a heavier Humble Pie) and Welfare State - the psychedelic-electronic White Noise collaborating with a theatre group... The whole thing sounds very professional and very clean. This is a truly sensational CD - without a doubt one of the most interesting and, all in all, most surprising reissues of recent years! A MUST! -
CD
TANGERINE DREAM - TANGERINE DREAM - Force Majeure +1 - EU Remastered Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Alongside the brilliant, psychedelic debut this is probably the most rock record (that is, recorded with a rhythm section) in the band's discography - full of enchanting melodies and quite dynamic guitar parts! A 2019 remastered edition, with one bonus track. Recommended! (JL) -
CD
TANGERINE DREAM - TANGERINE DREAM - Alpha Centauri - UK Esoteric Reactive Remastered Expandedprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered and beautifully presented British edition of the second album in the discography, recorded in an already changed (compared with the debut) line-up. It is still not electronic music, but rather more experimental krautrock. This British edition contains both sides of the sensational, indeed legendary, single Ultima Thule (Part 1/Part 2). It is progressive dynamite (guitar/mellotron/dense rhythm section) à la the best moments on the LP 2066 & Then! The vinyl single is worth about 150 euros! That number alone is worth the price of the CD... Plus the 8-minute Oszillator Planet Concert, recorded live in 1971 in Austria. Recommended. -
CD
T2 (see also: Bulldog Breed) - T2 - It'll All Work Out In Boomland - GER Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A German reissue of one of literally a handful of the best (forgotten) records in the history of British rock! The album, once released by Decca, contains four fascinating, densely textured tracks full of changes of tempo and mood - characterised by wonderful playing from the whole trio, and especially the guitarist. The CD includes, among others, a 21-minute hard-progressive suite! In addition, three sensational recordings (lasting 22 minutes in total) made at the BBC studios - in my opinion perhaps even better than the fantastic album! The track "C.D.", meanwhile, is one of the ten best heavy rock numbers I have heard in my life! This is the old German edition from the early 90s (with rather poor and not very clear artwork, but with great sound) once prepared by the Berlin label SPM in cooperation with the band's leader Pete Dunton. An absolute must! -
CD
T.P. SMOKE - T.P. SMOKE - T.P. Smoke - EU Edition - VERY RARE - LAST COPY!
Released in 1970, the only, but truly successful, album by this Danish band, featuring eight decidedly progressive tracks built primarily on dense (at times slightly bluesy) Hammond organ playing and a great rhythm section. On top of that, the vocalist had a cool, powerful voice reminiscent of Arthur Brown. Highly recommended. Condition: sealed -
CD
SYRIUS - SYRIUS - Syrius (1st Album) +6 - AUT Enigmatic Remastered Expanded Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered edition (from Enigmatic) of the excellent debut album by a Hungarian jazz-prog-rock formation - recorded and originally released (1971) in Australia (on the label Spin - in the original, silver cover with a black logo), and only a year later in Hungary, as "Devil's Masquerade". This is fantastic, progressive playing with strong jazz influences - no worse than the work of Colosseum, Blodwyn Pig or Chicago Transit Authority - not to mention lesser-known groups such as Heaven, Hannibal, Samurai or Walrus. The band could excellently keep a balance between genres (often even brushing against heavy rock...) and to tell the truth, with the possible exception of the Czech Flamengo (LP "Kure v Hodinkach" from 1972), I do not recall better jazz-rock playing from the Eastern Bloc - this album is practically beyond competition! Unlike the old, mercilessly dull version, the new, 80-minute CD sounds excellent, very juicy, although some tape hiss remains. In addition fantastic recordings (mainly covers of well-known compositions - please look at the titles) made during the same Australian session are included. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
CD
SWEET SMOKE - SWEET SMOKE - Darkness To Light - UK Eastworld Edition - LISTENprice: 50,00 PLN / 12,50 EUR
Released in 1973 by Harvest, the second album by an American (working in Germany) progressive formation, known above all for the excellent LP "Just A Poke". On the second the band played in a more acoustic, folky way. -
CD
SWEET SLAG - SWEET SLAG - Tracking With Close-Ups - GER Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Jedna z moich ulubionych, zapomnianych, progresywnych płyt! Bardzo mroczne, nieco zakręcone, jazzujące i momentami ewidentnie psychodeliczne granie z dominującymi dźwiękami gitary i saksofonu (okazjonalnie fletu) na tle mocno rozbudzonej i kombinującej sekcji rytmicznej - to wszystko okraszone nieco charczącym, mocnym wokalem... Z drugiej strony na płycie sporo jest atmosferycznego, przestrzennego grania - tak na ukojenie nieco starganych nerwów. Trochę Jethro Tull, trochę King Crimson, trochę East Of Eden - ale mroczniej! Mus! -
CD
SVANFRIDUR (see also: Pelican) - SVANFRIDUR - What's Hidden There? - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A great-sounding and attractive-looking reissue of the only, but splendid, album by an Icelandic band, recorded in 1972 in London and originally released privately by the band. The Svanfridur musicians played ambitious and very atmospheric, classic progressive rock, with distinct influences of psychedelia, folk, jazz and heavy sounds. The quartet's music can be roughly described as a combination of the style of Jethro Tull (with far less flute), Wishbone Ash, Gnidrolog, Curved Air and East Of Eden. It was decidedly British playing, but with a large dose of Scandinavian gloom and melancholy - very sophisticated, a bit hard to take in at once, but in its own way orderly and ear-catching. Almost every fan of good old rock should be delighted with this record! Currently the first edition in perfect condition is worth 1000 euros! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
CD
SUPERTRAMP - SUPERTRAMP - Crime Of The Century - Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A classic, third album - alongside the brilliant debut without a doubt the most progressive and rock record in the band's career. -
CD
SUPERTRAMP - SUPERTRAMP - Supertramp - EU Remastered Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A brilliant debut album - one of the best British progressive achievements of 1970! This record, so different from the later titles by this band (by then with a different line-up), resembled the earliest Barclay James Harvest records combined with Genesis from the 'Trespass' period and Blonde On Blonde's 'Rebirth'! A rich, Hammond-based sound, unusual, rather dark compositions, frequent changes of mood and the 12-minute "Try Again" - one of the more charming tracks in the history of prog-rock! A must! -
CD
SUNDAY FUNNIES - SUNDAY FUNNIES - Sunday Funnies - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! The debut and very underrated album by this American, progressive formation is usually wrongly described as soul rock and for that reason almost completely ignored by lovers of our favourite genre. A big mistake, because 80% of the music on this great album is very British in mood progressive rock based on the juicy and ubiquitous sound of Hammond organ and without a doubt modelled on the work of early Procol Harum! Also importantly, the band's leader (one Kosinski) could genuinely compose catchy and at the same time almost anthemic tracks - which of course added great charm to the whole. In fact only the opening hard-soul-rock track and the gospel-style, rock ending departed from the progressive style. Both passages are quite nice. Everything between them, however, is top-class prog rock that many more popular formations would surely have liked to record! A MUST! -
CD
SUNDAY (see also: Jody Grind) - SUNDAY - Sunday - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Made in 1971 by German Bellaphon (like the albums by the groups Diabolus, Little Big Horn and Crazy Label, which were not released in the British Isles), the only, but great, album by a British trio (with the former drummer of the group Jody Grind), playing fairly heavyish, but sophisticated progressive rock (with Hammond organ) in the style of Atomic Rooster, Argent, Procol Harum, Aardvark, and even early Pink Floyd. This is an absolute treat for all lovers of old, classic playing from the very beginning of the 70s! This material was released in a dreadful form (on a very crackly and dull CD) in the mid-90s; fortunately the present edition sounds perfect! A must! -
CD
SUGARLOAF - SUGARLOAF - Sugarloaf / Spaceship Earth (1970-1971) - UK BGO Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
An American band with a strong, psychedelic sound based on Hammond organ, with slight influences of blues and classical music. The first record (from 1970) is simply excellent - melodic, very intense, heavy, a bit Doors-like (with elements of Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly and early British progression) and decidedly catchy - simply top-shelf rock classics. What is more, the track "Green-Eyed Lady" is a rock classic known forever! The second album (1971) is slightly weaker, generally gentler, but still with plenty of nice moments and generally very decent. Remastered edition from the label BGO. Highly recommended! -

SUBJECT ESQ. (see also: Sahara / Gift) - SUBJECT ESQ. - Subject Esq. +6 - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Released in 1972 by the German branch of Epic, the only, but splendid, album, containing thrillingly performed, richly arranged progressive music typical of Germany, based on the interplay of organ, electric and acoustic guitars, flute, saxophone, recalling a combination of the style of, among others, Jane, Out Of Focus and Murphy Blend. The band drew on various sources; sometimes it sounded almost hard rock, at other times it approached the style of jazz-rock, or showed a fascination with the work of Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. Generally the record should delight all fans of good old, juicy playing. The CD contains over 30 minutes of excellent, rare material (different, much better than the two live tracks on the old and worse-sounding Ohrwashl edition), recorded in the studio and live in 1971-1972. In 1973 the group changed its name to Sahara and released the great 'Sunrise' (1974). A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -

The band's twelfth studio album. Eleven bonus tracks have been added to the main record. The second CD and the DVD contain a recording of a performance for the BBC Radio One programme "Sight & Sound In Concert", on 18 February 1978, in London. -
CD
STRAWBS (see also: Yes / Rick Wakeman / Velvet Opera) - STRAWBS - From The Witchwood - UK Remastered
An excellent album: the fourth, and the last with Rick Wakeman on keyboards. The record still had a folk-rock character (at times psychedelic, with sitar), but for the first time the band appeared with a rock line-up, with a full drum kit and electric guitar. This progressive album includes my favourite track by the band, "The Hangman And The Papist". Highly recommended! -
CD
STRAWBS (see also: Yes / Rick Wakeman / Velvet Opera) - STRAWBS - Burning For You +4 - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
A remastered edition in a digipak, from 2020, of the band's tenth studio album. Additionally four bonus tracks, including an early version of the song "Joey And Me" (which appeared on the 1978 album "Deadlines") and "Heartbreaker" (a different track from the one on the album) from 1977, which Dave Cousins performed with the Intergalactic Touring Band. -
CD
STRANGE DAYS - STRANGE DAYS - 9 Parts To The Wind - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
This only album by a forgotten British group, recorded in 1975, without a doubt belongs, alongside the Refugee LP and the Druid debut, among the 3-4 best progressive records from the British Isles of the mid-70s! Inspired above all by the work of early Genesis, and also Camel, Fruupp and Yes, this very talented band sounded more like 1973 than 1975. Particularly noteworthy are the majestic, extended, epic forms, but also the catchy, slightly Beatles-esque melodies (as well as references to pop music), and the perfect, very rich production. Some passages sound so good that it is hard to believe! No lover of progressive sounds can pass by this CD indifferently! This edition sounds excellent and very spacious. Highly recommended! -

STORMY SIX - STORMY SIX - Un Biglietto Del Tram - ITA Card Sleeve Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Fourth album by an Italian formation playing a folk-progressive variety of rock. A combination of the moods of Quella Vecchia Locanda and String Driven Thing, and also... Marek Grechuta. 2004 reissue, in a fold-out sleeve. -

STONEHOUSE (see also: Asgard) - STONEHOUSE - Stonehouse Creek - EU Once Again Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, remastered edition of the great, though practically forgotten by the world, only album by a British band. Released at the beginning of 1971 by RCA Victor (and worth 400-500 euros on vinyl today), the Brits' only, but splendid, LP contained heavy, very thoroughbred playing (with light elements of blues and prog rock) in the traditional British style, recalling a little the debut of Budgie, May Blitz records, the debut of Free and Leaf Hound. Devoid of any promotion (and probably a mere, unscrupulous tax write-off for the record label), the record sank without trace on the market - like hundreds of other titles released by major labels at the turn of the 60s and 70s. The band certainly gained no popularity from the dreadful sleeve, which looked as if splattered with mud. It is hard to believe that it was signed by the man known from the debut of Black Sabbath and records by the groups Spring, Indian Summer, Affinity, Colosseum - Keef... After a few months, two Stonehouse musicians formed the gentler and more progressive band Asgard. A MUST! Condition: new, sealed. (JL) -
CD
STILL LIFE - STILL LIFE - Still Life - GER Repertoire Remastered Card Sleeve Limited Edition - LISTENprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
A completely forgotten British hard-progressive band with a single album, released by Vertigo in 1971, referencing the style of early Beggars Opera and Uriah Heep (without guitar) - that is, lots of Hammond, characteristic vocal harmonies, extended tracks of 6-7 minutes. Remastered Repertoire version, in mini LP form, limited to 3000 copies. Highly recommended! (JL) -

STERN COMBO MEISSEN - STERN-COMBO MEISSEN - Weisses Gold - GER Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR

CD
STEAMHAMMER (see also: Armageddon / Renaissance) - STEAMHAMMER - Speech - GER Repertoire Remastered Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered edition of the excellent, fourth album by the legendary British blues-rock band - here playing much heavier, decidedly more progressively - a bit in the vein of the group Armageddon, formed three years later (by guitarist Martin Pugh), although this is a much better album... Only three tracks running for 46 minutes together! Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
STEAMHAMMER (see also: Armageddon / Renaissance) - STEAMHAMMER - MK II +4 - GER Repertoire Expanded Editionprice: 65,00 PLN / 16,25 EUR
From 1969 and probably the best, and certainly the most varied, title in the discography of this criminally underrated band - combining with rock elements of jazz, blues, folk and at times even early music! Fans of Colosseum and Jethro Tull will be delighted! Four bonus tracks. A must! (JL) -

STARK NAKED - STARK NAKED - Stark Naked - EU Eclipse Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A remastered and great-sounding Eclipse edition of the only album, released in 1971, by an American band playing distinctive, dark, somewhat heavy rock with psychedelic touches. This is decidedly European playing, which, combined with just six tracks (including two lasting 9 and 11 minutes), should give fans of the progressive genre plenty to think about! Highly recommended! -

In addition, four bonus tracks, two single ones and two recorded as a duo with Alan White. Inside is a 24-page booklet. Highly recommended! -
CD
SPRING - SPRING - Spring +3 - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered Expanded - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The album by the group Spring, released in 1971, is top ten of the best (little-known) progressive albums from Great Britain! A combination of the moods of the King Crimson debut and Genesis's "Nursery Cryme". This edition sounds slightly better than the classic Repertoire Records CD and contains a 6-page booklet, reproducing the original vinyl sleeve, which folds out "into three". Years later drummer Pique Withers found fame and fortune in Dire Straits (the first four albums), while vocalist Pat Moran became an esteemed producer. The CD contains the same three (great) bonus tracks as on other, earlier versions. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
CD
SPREADEAGLE - SPREADEAGLE - Piece Of Paper - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Released in 1972 by British Charisma, the only album by the hard-progressive group Spreadeagle is a chunk of great, guitar-driven, juicy rock (with numerous improvised parts) in the style of Wishbone Ash, very early Camel, Spontaneous Combustion, Home, as well as Ginhouse and Public Foot The Roman. The three longer tracks, lasting 21 minutes in total, are simply superb, while the four shorter compositions are hard to fault (they are really nice), although inevitably the instrumental parts are not as impressive. Generally it is completely forgotten, and at the same time very convincing, top-drawer British hard-progressive rock! Excellent production and great sound quality! Highly recommended! -
CD
SPOOKY TOOTH AND PIERRE HENRY - SPOOKY TOOTH / PIERRE HENRY - Ceremony. An Electronic Mass. - EU Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The legendary third album, made already after the (first) split, when the band sent the raw material from a planned album to an avant-garde French musician - Pierre Henry. After processing and adding various distorted (also electronically) sounds, a very controversial album was created, as adored as it is hated! I belong to the former group, although I would probably have been happier if the band had finished this record themselves, as it contains the best moments they ever recorded! Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
SPOOKY TOOTH - SPOOKY TOOTH - Live In Berlin 1970 - FRA On The Air Limited Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, an hour-long CD containing, among other things, a great, 43-minute recording of a show by the British progressive band that took place in Berlin in December 1970 (sometimes wrongly labelled as Essen 1969). Note the setlist - three numbers from the LP "Last Puff" (in much better, more dynamic versions) and several 'covers' never played on albums! It was a show from the band's last tour (before it split for three years), and the recording features, among others, the excellent keyboardist John Hawken (ex-Renaissance, later in Strawbs) and the bassist Steve Thompson, known from Bluesbreakers and Stone The Crows. The sound quality is very good (it is a copy of a recording from the mixing desk), it is a great pleasure to listen to (there are no other recordings from this period!), although not perfect. In addition, four very nice recordings are included, including two tracks from 1969 from BBC radio - unreleased on the official CD reissues! This is a real treat for all fans of this, in fact underrated, though for some time quite popular band! Highly recommended! -
CD
SPOOKY TOOTH - SPOOKY TOOTH - Spooky Two +9 - EU Universal-Island Expanded Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
One of the best records from the early British prog rock circle! An excellent, poignant vocal, heavy, powerful-sounding organ, a great guitarist - and above all wonderful compositions (including the 9-minute "Evil Woman", or "Better By You Better Than Me", known from Judas Priest's performance). In addition, nine bonus tracks. -

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION - SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION - Spontaneous Combustion / Triad - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A great, heavy-progressive, British band on a great debut (produced by Greg Lake of ELP), playing spacious rock based on frequent changes of mood (three long tracks) and clean guitar sounds! The second album was already much stronger and the band discovered the power of fuzz... Highly recommended! -

SPIRIT OF JOHN MORGAN (see also: John Morgan) - SPIRIT OF JOHN MORGAN - Spirit Of John Morgan +1 - EU Eclipse Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered, European edition of the excellent, though unfortunately still underrated, debut album released at the end of 1969 by a British band playing dynamic, spacious and perfectly produced progressive, bluesy rock (organ, flute, sax) in the vein of early Jethro Tull, Black Cat Bones and Skin Alley. Additionally a rare B-side of a single. A must! (JL) -
CD
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS (see also: Christmas) - SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS - Lies To Live By - CAN Unidisc Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The same band, only under the name Spirit Of Christmas. The record is a natural continuation of "Heritage", but in place of the psychedelic elements there is a rich, almost progressive sound - a little in the style of Rush. I have listened to this material many times - it is truly excellent! -
CD
SPECTRUM (AUS) - SPECTRUM - Part One - AUS Progressive Line Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Excellent, one of the most popular groups in Australia in the early 70s. This (first) album contained progressive music based on the deep sound of Hammond organ, though you can also hear some influences of psychedelia and blues. In 1973 Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered "Make Your Stash" and called it... "Joybringer", and a year later included covers of two (single) Spectrum tracks on the LP "The Good Earth" - perhaps by way of compensation! Highly recommended! -
CD
SPECTRUM (AUS) - SPECTRUM - Milesago - GER Black Rose Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Released at the end of 1971, the second and somewhat more subdued album by the great Australian band. This material was released on vinyl by Harvest as a double LP - here on a single CD. A very varied (genuinely progressive) album combining typical organ-and-guitar rock with elements of heavy and acoustic sounds. Recommended! (JL) -
CD
SPECTRUM (AUS) - SPECTRUM - Milesago (2CD) - AUS Aztec Music Remastered Expanded Digipack Editionprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
The second, somewhat more subdued title by the great Australian band. This material was released on vinyl by Harvest as a double LP. A very varied (genuinely progressive) album combining typical, organ-and-guitar rock with elements of heavy and acoustic sounds. Australian edition expanded by seven bonuses. -
CD
SOMEONE'S BAND - SOMEONE'S BAND - Someones Band - EU Decca Digipack Editionprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
A reissue, awaited forever, of the only and unfortunately completely forgotten album, released in 1970 by the Deram label, by a British progressive band playing heavy rock with elements of blues and sometimes throwing in elements of ethnic music - something like a combination of Savoy Brown, Black Cat Bones, early Fleetwood Mac of the LP Then Play On period and Jethro Tull. To me Someones Band's music is most reminiscent of the only album by the legendary Elias Hulk! Highly recommended! -
CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Third / BBC Live In London (2CD) - EU Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Two-disc edition in a traditional jewel case, EXPANDED (on the second CD) with 38 minutes of live material from the BBC archive, once released by the small Reckless label as "Live At The Proms 1970". The band still in great form, although the music became somewhat more twisted than on the earlier album. On the other hand, among many collectors there is an absolute cult around this record - usually named as one of the most important achievements of the progressive genre! Four compositions of 20 minutes each. Recommended! -
CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Live At The Paradiso - UK Floating World Edition - LISTENprice: 65,00 PLN / 16,25 EUR
An incredible, often "bootlegged" concert from the mixing desk, from the band's best period. The band combined psych, prog and jazz perfectly - something like Egg, Arzachel and early Caravan. Alongside the band's first two (three) albums it is an essential item! A must! -

CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Bundles (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
The band's eighth studio album, the first released by the Harvest label. Allan Holdsworth played brilliantly on guitars here! Remastered 2022 edition, to which a second CD has been added, containing a recording of a concert on 11 October 1975 at Nottingham University, remastered from the original master tapes, previously released under the title "British Tour '75". Unfortunately Holdsworth was no longer in the band then, having left for the New Tony Williams Lifetime, and he recommended John Etheridge, who had previously played in Icarus and Darryl Way's Wolf, in his place. The whole thing comes in a gatefold digipak. Highly recommended! (MU) -
CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Soft Machine (1st Album) +2 - JAP Remastered Expanded Limited Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
The brilliant debut of Soft Machine - an incredible combination of intense psychedelia with elements of jazz and early prog rock. The only LP with Kevin Ayers; overdriven organ, pulsating bass, galloping drums (the drum kit known from the first three Hendrix records!) and the wonderful, sleepy voice of Robert Wyatt... Additionally two tracks from the 1967 debut single (still with Daevid Allen). A limited edition from Japanese Polydor, from 2021. An absolute must! (JL) -

CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Volumes One And Two - UK Big Beat Editionprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
British CD from Big Beat containing the two best titles by the legendary progressive British band. The first, genuinely brilliant album was recorded by the line-up of Wyatt/Ayers/Ratledge and genuinely was ahead of its time, combining psychedelia with jazzy rock in its own way. The second record was of a similar, though more jazzy, character. Without early Soft Machine there probably would have been no Caravan, Egg and Gong! In all 75 minutes of stunning, imaginative music. A MUST! (JL) -

Unreleased, live material from 1971 - still with Robert Wyatt. -
CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Softs - UK Esoteric Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Remastered edition of a classic (though rather late) album by a legend of British jazz-prog rock. Like the 1975 CD "Bundles", the album was filled with jazzy, guitar-driven material - somewhat in the vein of the recordings of Gong of the time, and even the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Allan Holdsworth is replaced here by John Etheridge, known from Wolf (Darryl Way's band). Recommended! -
CD
SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Land Of Cockayne - UK Esoteric Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR

SOFT MACHINE - SOFT MACHINE - Bundles - UK Esoteric - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Long-awaited remastered edition of the eighth album (and the first for EMI Harvest) by the cult progressive formation - now with the sensational Allan Holdsworth on guitar! The albums from 1975-1978 were characterised by a more accessible, guitar-driven, rock sound (than the earlier records of the 70s, based on keyboards and brass). Recommended! -
CD
SMOKE RISE - SMOKE RISE - Survival Of St. Joan - A Rock Opera - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Released in 1971 on double vinyl (lasting 56 minutes), the only album by an American hard-progressive formation, playing rather in the British style - with Hammond organ and numerous changes of mood. This is genuinely absorbing, moving (plenty of dark moods...) and easily accessible material that will delight most of our loyal customers. This music reminds me most of the only album (released in 1969) by the excellent British group Plus. Truly, it is hard to understand why such a good LP never came out on CD... Highly recommended!
