MAKI, CARMEN + BLUES CREATION (see also: Dew) - CARMEN MAKI / BLUES CREATION - Carmen Maki / Blues Creation - EU Once Again Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
This wonderful and unique record, released in the summer of 1971, was made by the Japanese vocalist Carmen Maki (previously known for folk or pop songs) with the participation of the heavy rock band Blues Creation. In general I'm not fond of female vocals, but despite certain limitations, the beautiful Carmen, imitating Janis Joplin and Grace Slick a little, is simply sensational here! The whole material was created in exactly the same session as the classic LP "Demon And Eleven Children", credited solely to Blues Creation (released a month earlier), and the band, playing genuinely heavy, bluesy rock here (a bit in the vein of the first side of "Led Zeppelin III"), was as usual in top form and certainly did not hold back! I repeat: this is a splendid album without a single weaker moment, although when I discovered that the author of the opening "Understand" was the American band Fantasy (1970), I was slightly disappointed... The sound quality is excellent! A must! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
MAN - MAN – Live at Rockpalast 1975 (CD+DVD) - MIG Music Editionprice: 130,00 PLN / 32,50 EUR
The album documents one of the best periods of activity of the Welsh band Man, when the band was famous for long, freely developing live improvisations. Remastered, the included DVD lets you see the whole concert in very good picture and sound quality. -
MARILLION - MARILLION - Early Sessions 1981-1982 (BBC Friday Rock Show + The Roxon Tape + Manchester Square Demo) - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A superb, limited, 54-minute black vinyl from Verne, collecting classic material by the progressive Brits (combining here the style of early Genesis, Camel and mid-period Pink Floyd), made between July 1981 and July 1982, that is over the course of the year before signing the contract with EMI Records. Three tracks from an excellent BBC session (with the best, sharpest version of "Forgotten Sons"), two tracks from a demo session for EMI, three tracks recorded in the studio in 1981 (and sold at concerts) and a live track unreleased on any album, "Institution Waltz". Decorated with an attractive sleeve by Mark Wilkinson, the whole thing sounds excellent, professional and is an excellent complement to the band's first two albums! A must! CONDITION: NEW, UNSEALED.

MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - A Toast To Panama Red +2 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, limited, European edition of the fourth (and last) studio album by the cult band, very popular in the Antipodes. Like its predecessor ("Choice Cuts" from April 1971) - this album, recorded at London's Abbey Road, offered stunning, hard-progressive and quite melodic playing in the vein of Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, very late The Beatles and the Australian Tamam Shud. As on the previous album, the record was dominated by very substantial, shorter forms, although the best part of the album was without a doubt the 11-minute "Games We Play". To this day I find it hard to understand why this band did not become huge outside Australia... Plus two tracks - the live "Future Of Our Nation" from 1971 (in a different version from that on "Nickelodeon") and the studio "Freedom Seekers" from 1972, recorded already as a trio, which was unfortunately the band's swan song. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Nickelodeon - Live +3 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
These three wonderful albums from the early 70s by this Australian band can easily compete with the best hard-progressive records from Britain or continental Europe, and often beat them hands down! The concert recorded in January 1971 (between the albums "Choice Cuts" and "A Toast To Panama Red") and released on vinyl only in Australia is, in my opinion, among the best rock live albums - the decidedly guitar-led playing is generally slow, intense and heavy. On top of that, almost all of the compositions (except "Because I Love You") were brand new! Do listen to the nearly 20-minute, veeery heavy version of "Evil Woman", inspired by the brilliant version by Spooky Tooth from their second album! Interestingly, the record has an almost perfect, nearly studio sound quality! This is an essential complement to the band's earlier two albums! Additionally included are three live recordings from Australian TV, including a great, heavy version of "Rio De Camero". AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Choice Cuts +2 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, limited, European edition of the absolutely excellent album, released by EMI in April 1971 (in their native Australia by Columbia under the title "Choice Cuts", and in the UK as "Master's Apprentices" - by Regal Zonophone), by a criminally underrated (outside their homeland) band. In my humble opinion it is hard to imagine better, classically rock, hard-progressive playing from the early 70s! Recorded at London's Abbey Road (see: the photo on the back of the CD...), the band's third album is stunning and quite melodic playing in the vein of Cream, Wishbone Ash, Jethro Tull, Ginhouse and the Australian Tamam Shud. The trademark of MA's sound was the superb combination of electric and acoustic guitars (often playing alongside each other). Fairly short, though very substantial compositions. It is really hard to understand why this band did not become huge outside Australia, where it had the status of demigods... Released in December of the same year, 1971 (again made at Abbey Road), the somewhat more progressive LP "A Toast To Panama Red" was without a doubt on an equally high level, though for me 'Choice Cuts' will always be a magical work. Plus two tracks from rare B-sides of singles. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Choice Cuts - GER Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
German reissue of the absolutely excellent third album in the discography, released at the beginning of 1971, by this criminally underrated Australian formation. In my humble opinion it is hard to imagine better, classic rock playing! Recorded in London (at Abbey Road), the group's third album is frenzied, hard-progressive and quite melodic playing in the vein of Cream, Jethro Tull, Wishbone Ash and Tamam Shud. Fairly short, though very substantial compositions. It is really hard to understand why this band did not become big (outside Australia)... A must! Condition: sealed. (JL) -
MAY BLITZ - MAY BLITZ - May Blitz - JAP Remastered Limited Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
An excellent, classic album - one of the true milestones of British heavy rock! Slight influences of psychedelia and blues could still be heard. Highly recommended! A limited edition from Japanese Vertigo, from 2021. -
McLUHAN - McLUHAN - Anomaly - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, limited, European edition of the only album, released in 1972, by a forgotten American band, playing progressive, jazzy rock (still with psychedelic touches) reminiscent, oddly enough, more of the recordings of British 'horn' bands such as If, Galliard and Walrus than of the American Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears or Chase. The opening 11-minute "The Monster's Bride" is an absolutely brilliant rock classic, full of changing moods and at the same time decorated with wonderful melodic lines. The remaining three tracks (and especially the 3rd and 4th) are hardly inferior to it. An absolute must! (JL) -
McPHEE - MCPHEE - McPhee - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A limited, European reissue of the only, but excellent, album, released in November 1971, by an Australian band playing heavy, progressive rock in the style of strong Spooky Tooth from their best period with an admixture of Atomic Rooster and Deep Purple. In fact the band performed its own versions of tracks from the LP 'The Last Puff' (Spooky Tooth, 1970): 'The Wrong Time' and (composed by the Beatles) here an 8-minute 'I Am The Walrus'! Of the 7 tracks as many as 5 were excellent covers of other artists' pieces and 2 were the band's original compositions - including an excellent, improvised, over 10-minute track with flute in the leading role! Generally the album was filled to the brim with the juicy, "British" sound of 1969-1970, that is plenty of Hammonds, striking yet solid guitars and thoroughbred vocals: a predominant female (great) and a marginally appearing male (OK). Once again: there is zero filler on this album! Released in a run of only 500 copies, the McPhee vinyl album is probably the greatest rock rarity from the circle of Australian old rock, because every serious collector wants to have it and listen to it! Well-preserved copies with the checkered front and the very dark sleeve, impossible to keep without minor scuffs, when they appear cost over 2000 euros! A must! (JL) Condition: New, sealed. -
MEGADETH - MEGADETH - Live In Toronto 1988 - 'So Far, So Good, So What?' Tour - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Released by the French Verne Records in an edition of 500 copies, a limited album collecting great, classic, 60-minute live material recorded on 18 April 1988 in Toronto, Canada, during the tour promoting the album "So Far, So Good, So What?" released a little earlier. The material, taken from the mixing desk, was recorded by the line-up: Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Jeff Young and Chuck Behler. The quality of this vinyl, containing twelve recordings, is very good - perhaps there is a bit too much treble here and a little too little midrange. The laminated, very attractive sleeve by Ed Repka also contains several rare, nice photos of the band. An absolute must for all metal fans! Condition: MINT/NEW, unsealed. (JL) -
MERCYFUL FATE - MERCYFUL FATE - Live In Copenhagen, March 1982 - EU Sweet Leaf Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A limited live CD, released in a small run, containing a 53-minute early concert by the band, recorded professionally (a so-called soundboard recording) in Copenhagen at the Odd Fellow Palæet hall on 26 March 1982 - a full eight months before the release of the debut EP. This was already classic Mercyful Fate (a combination of early Black Sabbath with Judas Priest), in the line-up from the first two albums, though some of the recordings had early, unknown arrangements. A fascinating moment in the history of metal! The attractive cover contains several rare, nice photos of a band that was then completely unknown outside Denmark! This is probably the only concert by classic Mercyful Fate recorded in great quality! An absolute must for fans of classic metal! (JL) -
METALLICA - METALLICA - Live At The Keystone 1983 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A 59-minute album released by Verne Records on limited black vinyl and in a very attractive, laminated sleeve, documenting the band during the tour promoting the debut "Kill 'Em All" (1983). The concert, recorded on Halloween (31 October), had previously appeared in the multi-disc CD box set "Kill 'Em All" and is well recorded (straight from the mixing desk) - perhaps not perfectly, but given the conditions it would have been hard to do better. The record contains the world premiere of "Creeping Death", "Fight Fire With Fire", "Ride The Lightning" and "Call Of Ktulu". An absolute must! Condition: MINT, NEW, UNSEALED. (JL) -
METALLICA - METALLICA - No Life 'Til Leather - Early Demos 1982-1983 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Released in France, in a run of 500 copies, the album gathers the contents of three legendary demo tapes ("No Life 'Til Leather", "Power Metal" and "Megaforce Demo") professionally recorded in the studio and released/handed out on cassettes by the band (mainly in the line-up James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Ron McGovney and Lars Ulrich + Cliff Burton on two recordings from the third demo) between the spring of 1982 and the spring of 1983. The running time of the record did not allow for one recording to be included, namely the version of "Hit The Lights" known to fans, released as early as 1982 by the Metal Blade label on the legendary compilation "Metal Massacre". The quality of this 52-minute and many times reissued material FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY (apart from the cassette tape released a few years ago on Record Store Day by the band) is perfect - 80% of the record sounds like a catalogue, somewhat raw-produced, studio album! Importantly - on this occasion the tape speed was corrected, the hiss removed and the sound brightened! And here you can clearly hear how very talented and how immensely powerful this band was! The laminated, very attractive cover contains several rare, nice photographs of the then teenage band! An absolute must! Condition: MINT (NEW, UNSEALED). -
MISIK, VLADIMIR (see also: Matadors / Blue Effect / Flamengo) - VLADIMIR MISIK / ETC... - Vladimir Misik - CZE Supraphon Edition - LISTENprice: 120,00 PLN / 30,00 EUR
The debut solo album (recorded with his accompanying group 'Etc...') of a vocalist, guitarist and composer, known among other things from Matadors, Blue Effect and Flamengo. A 2017 anniversary edition, new, sealed. -
MISTY - MISTY - Here Again - SPA Sommor Press - LISTENprice: 145,00 PLN / 36,25 EUR
The first vinyl release of an album recorded in 1969, which the label decided not to release after poor sales of the single "Hot Cinnamon / Cascades". The record only saw the light of day in 2022, on CD from Grapefruit. Now it is coming out on vinyl, thanks to the Spanish Sommor. -
MISTY - MISTY - Here Again +4 - UK Grapefruit Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The first (ever!) release of a very good album, recorded in 1969, by a British progressive band echoing the style of Procol Harum, Cressida and late The Beatles. Released in 1970 by EMI Parlophone, the collectable single "Hot Cinnamon/Cascades" was a commercial failure, so the label gave up on releasing the finished and fully mixed long-player. The sound quality is perfect! The CD additionally contains four live tracks, recorded for British TV in 1970. A must! (JL) -
MONTROSE (see also: Gamma / Van Halen) - MONTROSE - I Got The Fire - Complete Recordings 1973-1976 (6CD BOX) - UK Hear No Evil Editionprice: 190,00 PLN / 47,50 EUR
A six-disc set containing all the studio albums recorded for Warner Brothers ("Montrose" from 1973, "Paper Money" from 1974, "Warner Bros. Presents Montrose!" from 1975, "Jump On It" from 1976 - all with bonus tracks) and two CDs containing demo recordings and recordings of concerts for the radio station KSAN, on 21 April 1973 and 26 December 1974, in Sausalito, California. Highly recommended! -
MORGEN - MORGEN - Morgen - Guerssen Press (LP - VINYL LP) - LISTENprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
A reissue of a sensational, psychedelic album with a heavy, guitar sound and great, catchy compositions. One of the 2-3 most underrated American records of the late 60s. Almost every track (of the seven) is dynamite! Condition: NEW - sealed. -
MORNING REIGN - MORNING REIGN – Taking Cover +2 - Sundazed Music Editionprice: 90,00 PLN / 22,50 EUR
An American CD on the Sundazed label presenting recordings (singles and unreleased) from 1968-1970 by a little-known band of the American scene, combining the rawness of garage rock with more melodic folk rock and soul. Morning Reign's strong point was extended, four-part vocal harmonies and varied compositions. Alongside their own material there are also 'covers'. -
MOTORHEAD (Motörhead) - MOTORHEAD - Under The Knife - The Singles And Rare Tracks 1983-1987 - FRA Verne Limited Press - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
An excellent compilation collecting thirteen rare, mainly (ten) SINGLE recordings from 1983-1987: three with the line-up with Brian Robertson (1983) and ten with the line-up Lemmy/Campbell/Wurzel/Gill. Three new, non-single tracks from 1984 were taken from the rare compilation "No Remorse" (1984). Graphically the record looks very attractive, and the sound is very good! This is a perfect complement to the band's discography! The earlier single recordings appeared on the superb LP "Over The Top - Rare Singles (1977-1982)". New, unsealed. A MUST! (JL) -
MOVE (see also: Electric Light Orchestra / Idle Race / Wizzard) - MOVE - Shazam - UK Esoteric Pressprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
An excellent second record by the band. The album contained heavy, at times very heavy, progressive and at the same time catchy playing. In The Move's music there are plenty of changing moods and arrangement delights, so, like every good album, to appreciate it properly you have to listen to it several times. A record that should delight all fans of good old rock! 2023 reissue. -
MU - MU - MU - SPA Guerssen Remastered 180g Press - LISTENprice: 140,00 PLN / 35,00 EUR
A legendary American band playing psychedelic, guitar-driven rock in the vein of early Quicksilver. The leader was Jeff Cotton, a guitarist from Captain Beefheart's band. Very original material! A remastered, 2013 Spanish reissue. -
MURPHY BLEND (Blackwater Park) - MURPHY BLEND - First Loss - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
This splendid album by a forgotten German band, released at the beginning of 1971 by the Kukuck label (known among other things also for records by Out Of Focus and Armaggedon) - in my humble opinion is probably the best title from Germany in the circle of heavy, progressive rock! This imaginative album was characterised by perfectly balanced proportions between catchy guitar riffs and the classical-leaning organ passages dominant here. As a lover of Deep Purple I simply find it hard to tear myself away from this record, although compared with the Brits Murphy Blend sound rather as if their leader, by contrast, was their own Jon Lord, obsessed with the work of the classics (mainly Bach), and the German Blackmore played somewhat more sparingly and somewhat in the background. This record must not be missed! Excellent sound - slightly clearer than on the Ohrwashl edition, and a much nicer booklet containing several rare photos of this splendid band! NOTE! The short sound of a cuckoo clock placed at the end of the record always appeared at the end of each vinyl side of albums on the Kuckuck label and until now had not been included! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL)
