THE MAGIC MIXTURE
'THIS IS THE MAGIC MIXTURE'

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS056


 
 
YES! At last the glorious 1968 LP by The Magic Mixture gets the proper legit reissue. Originally released on Saga, this superb piece of psychedelic freakbeat should be in every record collection sharing section with UK psych gods like July, Skip Bifferty, Forever Amber, Five Day Week Straw People, The Open Mind and the likes.
 
Even though according to The Tapestry Of Delights book the Saga LPs are supposed to have been recorded at a school premises rather than in a proper studio, this album has become a classic of the genre on its own, containing some killer psychedelic sounds delivered mainly by the guitar of leader Jim Thomas and his bandmate Stan Curtis' organ riffs. The line up was completed with Jack Collins on drums and Melvyn Hacker on bass guitar. The songs are all original Magic Mixture compositions, and they are all excellent samples of what was going on in the UK when the genres who had been en vogue during the sixties (modern jazz, folk, R&B, pop...) were all put into the same cauldron in the search of a special mixture, eventually obtaining some great pop tunes played with a freakbeat edge and some early psychedelic sounds, all pretty simple and without many gimmicks or studio trickery, but amazingly lovely and very cool.
 
 It is one of the most sought after Saga releases and one that commands high sums when it shows up on eBay. Wah Wah's is the first ever legit reissue, with best sound quality and best sleeve quality ever, considering the Saga releases were all low budget pressed on recycled vinyl!
 
First ever official reissue, taken from the master tapes and pressed in a limited run of only 500 copies!!!

 
¡SÍ! Por fín el glorioso LP de 1968 grabado por The Magic Mixture es reeditado oficialmente. Originalmente aparecido en Saga, esta soberbia pieza de freakbeat psicodélico debería estar en odas las colecciones de discos compatriendo estante con dioses de la psicodélia UK de la talla de July, Skip Bifferty, Forever Amber, Five Day Week Straw People, The Open Mind y similares.
 
A pesar que según el libro The Tapestry Of Delights los LPs de Saga fueron grabados en una escuela tras las clases en lugar de en un estudio como Dios manda, este LP se ha convertido en un clásico por méritos propios, conteniendo fantásticos sonidos psicodélicos, generados básicamente por la guitarra del líder de la banda Jim Thomas y los riffs de órgano de su colega Stan Curtis. La formación la completaban Jack Collins a la batería y Melvyn Hacker al bajo. Las composiciones son originales de Magic Mixture y son excelentes muestras de lo que aconteció en UK cuando los géneros que habían estado en voga durante los sesenta (modern jazz, folk, R&B, pop...) fueron mezclados en una misma marmita a la búsqueda de un sabor especial, obteniéndose finalmente un puñado de grandes canciones pop con actitud freakbeat y sonidos psicodélicos, sencillo y sin grandes trucos de estudio, pero efectivo, encantador y muy elegante.

THE UNDERGROUND SET
'S/T'

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS057

AVAILABLE IN LATE 2008 / EARLY 2009
Another collectable from the Saga back catalogue, issued in 1970 on the Pantonic subsidiary but originally recorded in Italy, this killer organ instro LP is reissued in vinyl for the first time. On their debut LP The Underground Set delivered a shot of groovy organ-ized go-go sounds - the kind of sounds that wouldn't sound out of place at a late sixties European psychedelic club or a teen exploito movie, with the perfect mix of psychedelic / progressive garage attitude and library music dexterity. An album to be filed along other killers like Blue Phantom or Ugly Custard. But also the kind of sounds that would inspire later artists such as Graham Day when he formed The Prisoners. The Underground Set was also committed to record the soundtrack theme for a couple of Italian TV shows, and later recorded a second album which followed the same line but with a heavier progressive edge.
 
Lovers of mad organs and swirling fuzz psychedelic guitars will have hours of enjoyment with the purchase of this delicatessen that has, again, been mastered from the original tapes and housed in a quality sleeve. Best quality ever plus two bonus tracks : the Saga LPs were really low budget pressings, so they tended to be of poor quality and usually done on recycled vinyl. Better than the real thing, but only available for a limited time : these 500 copies only will be gone soon!
 
Otra pieza coleccionable del catálogo de Saga, aparecido en 1970 en el subsello Pantonic, pero originalmente grabado en Italia, reeditado en vinilo por primera vez. En su LP de debut The Underground Set ofrecen una descarga de sonidos con presencia del órgano a go-gó de lo más groovy - el tipo de sonidos que no estarían fuera de lugar en un club psicodélico de la Europa de finales de los sesenta, o en alguna película de explotación del fenómeno adolescente, con la perfecta mezcla entreuna actitud psicodélico-garajera-progresiva y la destreza de una grabación de disco de música "library". Un álbum para ser archivado con pesos pesados de la talla del Blue Phantom o del Ugly Custard. Y también la clase de sonidos que inspirarían a artistas más tardíos como pueda ser el Graham Day de la era Prisoners. The Underground Set fueron también los encargados de grabar la sintonía para algunos programas de la televisión italiana, y más tarde editarían un segundo LP que sigue la línea iniciada con éste pero con un sonido más "heavy" y progresivo.
 
Los amantes del sonido de órgano y de las chispeantes guitarras psicodélicas con fuzz encontrarán horas de disfrute con la compra de esta delícia reeditada a partir de los másters originales y presentada en portada de calidad más dos bonus tracks. Mejor calidad que nunca, de hecho : los LPs de Saga eran realmente editados con muy bajo presupuesto, a menudo los prensajes eran bastante malos y se realizaban en vinilo reciclado. Sin duda mejor que el original, pero solamente disponible por tiempo limitado : éstas 500 únicas copias volarán pronto!

THE 4 INSTANTS
'DISCOTHEQUE!'

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS058



 
Here we unearth a missing nugget! Very little is known of The 4 Instants. They do not even appear on the Tapestry Of Delights (a.k.a. the Holy Bible of UK beat/R&B/psych/prog...). Undoubtedly released as a teen exploitation album in 1966 by Saga on the Society subsidiary, the LP offers a tight mod R&B instrumental sound all through it, with killer Hammond organ and sensational guitar licks. Everyone into all night mod jazz / R&B partying shall consider this LP a classic on its own from now on! Think of Graham Bond Organisation, Dave Davani Four, The Mohawks or any of those great mod jazz / soul jazz LPs that were imported from the US in the era and you'll get a close idea of what this album sounds like. Mostly offering killer versions of hits of the day ("Watermelon Man", "Mashed Potatoes", "Monkey Time"...) there is also one top sounding cover of the classic Ellington tune "Caravan" and three fantastic tunes written by the band, the credits of which give us the clue of the musicians involved, drummer Clem Cattini being one of them - thus throwing connections to other greats of the genre such as The Mohawks or Ugly Custard, and giving an idea of how TIGHT this band sounds, since Cattini (who had preeviously been in The Tornados and recorded under the direction of Joe Meek) was one of the more in demand session drummers and his work can be heard in many of the number one hits of the sixties and seventies. Sensational playing in an energy-plenty recording.
 
This obscure jewell seems to be still completely unknown even among those into the coolest of the cool, maybe due to the non too well chosen original sleeve, to which our design team is giving a twist in order to make this exceptional LP look as fab as it deserves! A unique sleeve for a unique pressing of only 500 copies! Will you miss yours now and cry later?
 
¡Desenterramos un pequeño tesoro! Muy poco se sabe de The 4 Instants. Ni siquiera aparecen en la Sagrada Biblia del beat/R&B/psych/prog... UK, el famoso libro Tapestry Of Delights. Sin duda editado para explotar el fenómeno adolescente del momento en 1966 por el subsello Society, el LP ofrece una contundente demostración de lo que puede llegar a ser el sonido mod R&B a nivel instrumental cuando se une un potente Hammond con un fabuloso trabajo de guitarra. Todos aquellos que disfruten de las allnighters de mod jazz y R&B considerarán este LP un clásico del género desde el momento en que dejen caer la aguja en su surco. Piensa en Graham Bond Organisation, Dave Davani Four, los Mohawks o cualquiera de esos fabulosos LPs de mod jazz / soul jazz importados de USA en la era y te harás una idea de lo que estos chicos dominaban. Principalmente compuesto de versiones de éxitos del momento ("Watermelon Man", "Mashed Potatoes", "Monkey Time"...), también incluye una excelente versión del "Caravan" de Duke Ellington y algunos temas propios en cuyos créditos encontramos la única pista de quienes eran los músicos del grupo, siendo uno de ellos el batería Clem Cattini - cuya presencia establece conexiones hacia otros grandes del género como The Mohawks o Ugly Custard y da una idea de cuan potente suenan los 4 Instants, pues Cattini (tras su paso por los Tornados, el grupo producido por Joe Meek) se convirtió en uno de los batarías de estudio más demandados en los sesenta y setenta, llegando a grabar infinidad de números uno durante esa era.

EQUINOX
'HARD ROCK'

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS059


 
Thought from the beginning as a cash-in operation when hard rock began to spread throughout the UK, this LP features a very young band (keyboardist Jon Stoppard was 16 when this LP was released in 1973) performing the sounds of the day. Equinox consisted of Mick Shedd on vocals and guitar, Sid Oldfield on bass, Jon Stoppard playing organ and Terry Waldon as the drummer. Incidentally they are not the ones who appear on the sleeve, where they were replaced by some unknown hipsters, and knowing Boulevard and it's mother label Saga it was probably a stock photo rather than a proper session paid for the occasion.
 
The album sounds move through the early UK hardrock paths opened by bands such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin, and although it must be said that our youngsters can't match the playing skills of the bands they mirrored in, it's justice to state "Hard Rock" as a more than decent effort, and a true rarity even for the conoisseurs of the genre.
 
Issued from the original master tapes and featuring the original sleeve in better quality than the low budget Boulevard original, this is a perfect chance to add the Equinox to your collection. Remember : only 500 copies pressed!
 
LP editado sin duda como una operación para generar dinero aprovechando el auge del fenómeno hard rock en UK, Equinox era una banda muy joven (el teclista Jon Stoppard contaba con tan sólo 16 primaveras cuando el disco fue lanzado en 1973) cuyos miembros eran Mick Shedd a la voz y guitarra, Sid Oldfield al bajo, el citado Stoppard al órgano y Terry Waldon como batería. Quienes no son, por cierto, los que aparecen en la portada, en cuya foto fueron reemplazados por modelos desconocidos... Y conociendo la forma de actuar de Boulevard y su sello madre Saga, probablemente incluso fuera una foto tomada de un catálogo fotográfico y no una sesión fotográfica propiamente dicha (y pagada).
 
Los sonidos del álbum se mueven por los caminos del hard rock primerizo de bandas como Deep Purple, Black Sabbath o Led Zeppelin, y aunque debemos reconocer que nuestros jóvenes amigos no llegan al nivel de destreza de aquellos en quienes se inspiraron sí lograron sin embargo grabar un interesante disco que complacerá a los fans del género.
 
Editado a partir de las cintas originales y con mejor calidad de portada que el original de Boulevard de serie "budget", es la ocasión perfecta para añadir a los Equinox a tu colección. Recuerda : únicamente prensadas 500 copias.

IBLISS – "SUPERNOVA"

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS064 VINYL LP
500 COPIES ONLY LIMITED REISSUE

AVAILABLE IN EARLY 2009

With several connections to the early Kraftwerk history and formed in the Rhineland area in 1971, Ibliss was a quintet formed by percussionist Basil Hammoudi (from Organisation, the band before Kraftwerk), drummer Andreas Hohmann (also from Kraftwerk), brothers Wolfgang and Norbert Büllmeyer (bass and guitar respectively) and Rainer Büchel on sax and flute. With the help of Conny Plank , they recorded their one and only lp at Hamburg’s Windrose-Studios: four long instrumental tracks in a hypnotic style that takes cues both from the teutonic motorik style and way-out jazz techniques… kind of a floating cosmic fusion sound with a great emphasis on the rhythmic section. Another great and unknown album from the jazzier end of krautrock (Kollektiv, Thirsty Moon, Annexus Quam, Embryo, Organistaion…)

STRICTLY LIMITED TO 500 COPIES - QUALITY PRESSING – GATEFOLD COVER REPRODUCING ARTWORK FROM THE ORIGINAL SPIEGELEI ISSUE – INCLUDES INSERT WITH PICS AND INFORMATION ON THE BAND



Con diversas conexiones a los inicios de la historia de Kraftwerk, y formados en el área de Rhineland en 1971, Ibliss fue un quinteto liderado por el percusionista Basil Hammoudi (miembro de Organisation, la banda que daría lugar a Kraftwerk) y con el percusionista Andreas Hohmann (también en Kraftwerk), los hermanos Wolbgang y Norbert Büññmeyer (bajista y guitarrista, respectivamente) y Rainer Büchel al saxo y la flauta. Con la ayuda de Conny Plank grabaron un único LP en los Windrose-Studios de Hamburgo. 4 largos temas instrumentales en un estilo hipnótico que une krautrock y sonidos del jazz experimental. Una especie de fusión cósmica flotante con gran enfásis en la sección rítmica. Otra joya desconocida del lado más jazzy del krautrock (Kollektiv, Thirsty Moon, Annexus Quam, Embryo, Organistaion…)

LPS049 ANNEXUS QUAM – OSMOSE

One of the most interesting and unknown bands from the Ohr catalogue, Annexus Quam had actually a quite long career, having their roots in the outfit Ambition Of Music, formed back in 1967 Kamp-Lintfort (near Düsseldorf). By 1970, and paying tribute to their early name, they had  incorporated a whole array of influences (most important one, the inclusion of jazz instrumentation) and brewed them in what was becoming a very personal progressive fusion of styles, best witnessed in their their debut album: Osmose. At that time, the band had grown into a septet formed by Uwe Bick (drums, vocals, percussion), Jürgen Jonuschies (bass, vocals, percussion), Werner Hostermann (clarinet, organ, vocals, percussion), Peter Werner (guitar, vocals, percussion), Hans Kámper (trombone, spanish guitar, vocals, percussion), Ove Volquartz (sax) and Harald Klemm (flute, vocals, percussion). Far from a typical jazz sound, they were able to integrate rock and jazz instrumentation into a unique style, which borrowed elements from the aforementioned genres but blended those into an ultimate cosmic fusion (which can recall at times the Third Ear Band, Xhol Caravan or even Ash Ra Tempel yet remaining totally their own). Actually, Annexus Quam were able to sound meditative, doomy, stoned, aggressive, exotic and lyrical in the same track without loosing any musical coherence or perspective. With their personal style that even today defies categorisation (except for that big umbrella we call kraut rock),Annexus Quam had all the inventiveness and excitement of the 1969/1970 german bands.

 

Osmose: a most unique album by an equally unique band, housed in one of the most luxurious, ellaborated and tripped-out gimmix covers ever made, now reproduced in all it’s multi-folding glory.

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Gimmix folding-pyramidal cover!

 

Una de las más interesantes, y sin embargo desconocidas, bandas del catálogo de Ohr, Annexus Quam tuvieron de hecho una larga carrera desde sus inicios como Ambition Of Music en 1967 en la localidad de Kamp-Linfort (cerca de Düsseldorf). Hacia 1970, haciendo honor a su antiguo nombre, incorporaron una gran cantidad de influencias (la mayor de ellas, la inclusión de instrumentación de jazz) y las mezclaron en una progresiva fusión de estilos muy personal, atestiguada en su álbum de debut Osmose. En aquella época la banda había pasado a ser un septeto formado por Uwe Bick (batería, percusión, voz), Jürgen Jonuschies (bajo, voz, percusión), Werner Hostermann (clarinete, órgano, voz, percusión), Peter Werner (guitarra, percusión, voz), Hans Kámper (trombón, guitarra española, voz, percusión), Ove Volquartz (saxo) y Harald Klemm (flauta, voz, percusión). Alejándose de un sonido típicamente jazzístico fueron capaces de integrar instrumentación de rock y jazz en un estilo único que tomaba prestados elementos de ambos géneros pero los mezclaba en una fusión cósmica (reminiscente a veces de Third Ear Band, Xhol Caravan o incluso Ash Ra Tempel, sin perder una fuerte personalidad propia). De hecho, Annexus Quam eran capaces de sonar meditativos, colocados, agresivos, exóticos y líricos en una misma canción sin perder la coherencia musical. Con su personal estilo, que aún hoy rehuye etiquetaciones (excepto la de ese gran paraguas que llamamos kraut rock), Annexus Quam presentan toda la inventiva y excitación de las bandas alemanas del período 1969/1970.

 

Osmose: un álbum único creado por un conjunto único, presentado en una de las más lujosas, elaboradas y bizarras portadas desplegables jamás realizadas, ahora reeditado en toda su gloria.

 

Estrictamente limitado a 500 copias - En portada desplegable piramidal!

LPS050 GURU GURU – HINTEN

Mani, Ax and Uli do it again: Hinten was Guru Gurur's second album for Ohr, the follow up to their crazed UFO lp. Recorded in July 1971 at Star Studios (Hamburg) with the help of Konrad Plank, Hinten saw Guru Guru moving away from their trademark freeform jams and into a somewhat more structured and song-based format but still retaining the wild and crazy edge of their debut album. Space is now given to lyrics and spoken-word passages but without forgetting screaming guitar action and space rock tripping. Mani Neumeier delivers some nonsensycal lyrics and primitive howls while Ax Genrich indulges is his usual guitar onslaught and bebauchery. As crazy as it gets... Guru Guru were truly one of a kind!!!!

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Gatefold cover - Sealed copies w/ info sticker

 

Mani, Ax y Uli lo hacen de nuevo: Hinten fue el segundo LP de Guru Guru para Ohr tras la locura de su debut UFO. Grabado en 1971 en Star Studios (Hamburgo) con la ayuda de Konrad Plank, Hinten nos presenta a la banda alejándose de sus jams "freeform" y adentrándose en un formato de canción más estructurado, pero sin por ello perder el toque salvaje y alocado de su primer disco. Se incluyen partes cantadas y pasajes recitados sin dejar de lado las guitarras atronadoras y los viajes de rock espacial. Mani Neumeier se descuelga con letras sin sentido y aullidos primitivos mientras Ax Genrich juega con su habitual sonido destripador de guitarra. Tan loco como se puede estar... Guru Guru son irrepetibles!!!!

LPS051 MYTHOS - MYTHOS

Another classic from the Ohr catalogue!!! Formed by young multi-instrumentalist Stephan Kaske in 1969, Mythos were Berlin’s finest space rockers, able to swim and dive between raging space-treks a la Hawkwind and blissed-out cosmic drifts in the style of their stable-mates Ash Ra Temple or Tangerine Dream. Their legendary debut album showed them in top-form, specially in the long suite "Encyclopaedia Terrae" were they showcase their playing abilities and unique style via the extended instrumental passages. Somewhere else in the album, Kaske surprises us with his flute playing or his caracteristical vocals (a bit in the style of VdGG’s Peter Hammill). A classic album which deserves to be heard by a wider public !!

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Gatefold cover - Sealed copies w/ info sticker

 

Otro clásico del catálogo de Ohr!!! Formados por el joven multi instrumentista Stephan Kaske en 1969, Mythos fueron los mejores rockeros del espacio en su Berlin natal, capaces de nadar y sumergirse entre airados viajes cósmicos a la Hawkwind y atmosféricos aterrizajes espaciales en la onda de Ash Ra tempel o Tangerine Dream. Su legendario LP de debut los muetra en plena forma, especialmente en la larga "Encyclopaedia Terrae", en la que muestran sus habilidades como instrumentistas y un estilo único en extendidos pasajes instrumentales. En otras partes del LP, Kaske nos sorprende con su flauta o su voz característica (un poco en el estilo de los Van der Graaf Generator de Peter Hammill).

LPS052 WALPURGIS - QUEEN OF SABA

Overshadowed by their more experimental and cosmic labelmates, Walpurgis made probably one of the most overlooked items of the Ohr catalogue... This quintet from Berlin formed by Ryszard Kalemba (guitar), Jerzy Sokolowski (guitar, vocals), George Früchtenicht (bass), Jan Sundermeyer (congas, flute) and Manfred Stadelmann (drums, vocals) were helped by the ubiquitous Jürgen Dollase (Wallenstein) on keyboards for the recording sessions of their one and only one album which taking place between May and June 1972 in Dieter Dierks Studio in Stommeln. Obviously inspired by the US West Coast sound but also echoing the more cosmic tendencies of the berlin scene, Walpurgis played a dreamy yet solid space-rock style which recall some of their contemporanies like Wallenstein, Ash Ra Tempel or Agitation Free whilst paying tribute to their american inspirations (Quicksilver Messenger Band, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane) at the same time. Actually, Walpurgis just made those influences more evident as the West Coast sound had a huge impact in shaping the Berlin bands sound, with many a city’s guitar player in debt with John Cippollina's guitar techniques (from Ash Ra Tempel's Manuel Gotsching to Curly Curve's Alex Conti).

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Gatefold cover - Sealed copies w/ info sticker

 

A la sombra de sus más experimentales y cósmicos compañeros de sello, Walpurgis facturaron uno de los discos más infravalorados del catálogo de Ohr. Este quinteto de Berlin formado por Ryszard Kalemba (guitarra), Jerzy Sokolowski (guitarra, voz), George Früchtenicht (bajo), Jan Sundermeyer (congas, flauta) y Manfred Stadelmann (batería, voz) fueron ayudados por el ubicuo Jürgen Dollase (Wallenstein) a los teclados en las sesiones de grabación de su único LP, en mayo y junio de 1972 en el estudio de Dieter Dierks en Stommeln. Obviamente inspirados por el sonido de la Costa Oeste estadounidense, pero también por las tendencias más cósmicas de la escena berlinesa, Walpurgis practicaban un soñador a la par que sólido rock espacial que recuerda a contemporáneos suyos de la talla de Wallenstein, Ash Ra tempel o Agitation Free y paga tributo a sus ídolos americanos (Quicksilver Messenger Band, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane...). Walpurgis únicamente hacen esa influencia americana más evidente, ya que el sonido "West Coast" tuvo de hecho un gran impacto en la escena de Berlin y sus bandas, con más de un guitarrista en deuda permanente con las técnicas de guitarra de John Cipollina (desde Manuel Gotsching de Ash Ra Tempel hasta Alex Conti de Curly Curve).

LPS053 LIMBUS 4 - MANDALAS


Another unsung bunch of krautrock pioneers, Limbus had formed in Heidelberg in 1968. Comprising the trio of Odysseus Artnerm, Bernd Henniger and Gerd Kraus, in 1969 recorded the groundbreaking New Atlantis LP (subtitling it "Cosmic Music Experience") for CPM, a spaced-out concoction of free and psychedelic musics with strong folky and ethnical flavours sounding very much like a more ethnic take on free improvisation. In 1970 they become a quartet with the addition of Matthias Kniepper thus renaming themselves Limbus 4 and went to record the puzzling Mandalas lp, a further step in their cosmic ethnic improvisations, this time making use of a more varied instrumental palette and taking advantage of the possibilities of the recording studio. A unique album that ranks amongst the most adventurous ever released by Ohr and which, to make things even better,  spots another of those cool Reinhard Hippen covers designs made of doll parts (which graced the covers of the first five of the the label's albums.. this being actually the second ever Ohr release). You don't get them much trippier than this...

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Gatefold cover - Sealed copies w/ info sticker

 

Otro pelotón de pioneros del krautrock, Limbus se habían formado en Heidelberg en 1968. Originalmente en formación de trio con Odysseus Artnerm, Bernd Henniger y Gerd Kraus, en 1969 grabaron el fenomenal LP "New Atlantis" (subtitulado "Cosmic Music Experience") para CPM, una conjunción espacial de musicas libres y psicodélicas con fuertes raíces folk y savores étnicos. En 1970 pasaron a ser un cuarteto tras la adición de Matthias Kniepper, hecho que transformó su nombre de Limbus a Limbus 4, para facturar el sorprendente LP "Mandalas", un paso adelante en su línea de improvisaciones étnicas a lo cósmico, ahora con un uso de instrumentos variados y aprovechándose de las posibilidades del estudio de grabación. Un álbum único que se presenta entre los más aventurados jamás editados por Ohr, con el añadido de una fabulosa carpeta diseñada por Reinhardt Hippen (autor de las fabulosas cinco primeras portadas del sello).

LPS054 XHOL - MOTHERFUCKERS GMBH & CO. KG

The misteriously named Xhol had already some years of experience on their back when krautrock made it's first impact. Having it's roots in the late 60's rock & soul outfit Soul Caravan they eventually renamed themsleves Xhol Caravan and released the crucial Electrip album on Hansa, one of the first efforts in bridging psychedelic, jazz and psychedelic styles in a really original way. Shortening their name to Xhol, they signed to the hip Ohr label where they released the live album Hau-Rauk and the mysterous archival  Motherfuckers GmbH & Co Kg. Conceived as a varied collage of archive pieces, sound snippets and free extended jams, the album hints at the madness of Faust but reatining that freaky Xhol attitude. From the archetypical Radio, just some dial knob turning with takes us from the Soul Caravan days, to the cosmically tripped-out Orgelsolo and the chirps and flute exotism of Grille, this album shows Xhol's more experimental side without forgetting their powerful fusion as hints of jazz, brass rock, soul and other grooves collide on the extended 13-minute Love Potion 25. An enduring testament to the talents of a band which went unrecognized too many years and which was one of the best and more inventive of the first wave of kraut rock bands...

Los misteriosamente llamados Xhol tenían ya seis años de experiencia a sus espaldas cuando el krautrock hizo impacto por primera vez. Con sus raizes en el conjunto de rock y soul de finales de los 60 Soul Caravan pasaron a llamarse Xhol Caravan y grabar el crucial "Electrip" para Hansa, uno de los primeros intentos de unir psicodélia y jazz en algo realmente original y personal. Acortando su nombre a Xhol firmaron por Ohr y editaron el directo "Hau-Rauk" y el misterioso "Motherfuckers GmbH & Co. Kg". Concebido como un collage variado de piezas de archivo, recortes de sonido y libres improvisaciones, el álbum se acerca a la locura de Faust, pero mantieniendo la actitud freaky de Xhol. Desde "Radio", pieza elaborada jugando con el dial de una radio, se nos transporta a los días de Soul Caravan, al viaje cósmico "Orgelsolo" o al exótismo con flauta de "Grille". Este LP muestra la cara más experimental de Xhol, sin olvidar su poderosa fusión de jazz, rock con sección de vientos, soul y demás influencias.

LPS055 ANNEXUS QUAM - BEZIEHUNGEN

 
 

After the release of their debut album Osmose and much playing in jazz festivals, Annexus Quam fronted some personnel changes and settled down to a quintet. The band was now Hans Kämper (trombone, spanish guitar,  flute),  Harald Klemm (zither, tabla, bendira, guitar), Peter Werner (guitar, percussion), Ove Volquartz (tenor/soprano saxes, flute) plus newcomer Martin Habenicht (basses). This reduced formation went to record Beziehungen, a much more jazzy effort which headed straight into free jazz territory but retaining the typical inventive touch of the band. Much more space was given to free improvisation, with tracks like the two-part "Leyenburg" coming out as free-form music whereas the 16-minute long track "Dreh Ducht Nicht Um" bridged the gap between their two albums by combining the progressive fusion sonorities of Osmose with some brilliant free jamming. A classic album that is recommended to the lovers of the experimental leg of krautrock and progressive musics as well as fans of all things free...

 

Strictly limited to 500 copies - Single cover - Sealed copies w/ info sticker… Includes the bonus 1970 track Kollodium !!

 

Tras la edición de su álbum de debut Osmose y de innumerables actuaciones en festivales de jazz, Annexus Quam lidiaron con varios cambios de personal y quedaron reducidos a un quinteto. La banda la formaban ahora Hans Kämper (trombón, guitarra española, flauta), Harald Klemm (cítara, tabla, bendira, guitarra), peter Werner (guitarra, percusión), Ove Volquartz (saxos tenor y soprano, flauta) y el recién llegado Martin habenicht (bajo), artífices del LP Beziehungen, una obra más jazzy que se sumergía en el campo del free jazz, aunque manteniendo el típico carácter inventivo de sus primeros tiempos. Mayores fragmentos improvisados, con piezas como las dos partes de "Leyenburg" o "Dreh Ducht Nicht Um" de nexo de unión entre su material anterior y sus actuales esfuerzos improvisatorios. Un clásico recomendado a los amantes del legado experimental y progresivo del kraut rock, así como a amantes de la música más "free".

AMON DÜÜL 'PARADIESWÄRTZ DÜÜL'

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS060
 
Recorded in 1971, Amon Düül’s only album for Ohr was a visonary slice of acid-folk which has gained cult status as years passed by.  Ritualistic folk-rock, pastoral hippie songs, stoned jams, eastern flavours, mystical passages and heavy hypnotic riffing which are in fact very different from the early Amon Düül epic freaked-out improvisations (Psychedelic Underground) or Amon Düül II complex and psyched-up progressive works (Phallus Dei).
 
These were in fact archival recordings done by a different incarnation of Amon Duul, one that combined members of both factions into a floating line up welcoming many a guest, and which were released by R.U. Kaiser without the musicians knowledge or authorisation, most likely in order to catch up with Amon Düül II rising popularity.
 
All in all, a mythical recording featuring such underground classics as “Love Is Peace”; “Snow Your Thurst Sun Open Your Mouth” and “Paramechanische Welt”. Included also on our edition is their sought after Ohr single:  “Paramechanical World” / “Eternal Flow”. Another legendary title from the Ohr catalogue rescued by Wah Wah for your listening pleasure...
 

Strictly limited to 500 copies. Sleeve reproducing original artwork from the Ohr original issue.

Featuring bonus tracks  “Paramechanical World” and “Eternal Flow” (originally released as  7” single).

 

Grabado en 1971, el único álbum de Amon Düül para Ohr fue una visionaria rodaja de folk ácido hoy merecedor de la categoría de disco de culto. Folk-rock ritual, pastoriles canciones hippies, improvisaciones drogadas, aromas orientales, pasajes místicos y riffs hipnóticos que difieren de sus primeras improvisaciones "freak-out" (Psychedelic Underground) o del complejo trabajo progresivo de Amon Düül II (Phallus Dei).
 
Éstas fueron de hecho gravaciones realizadas por una formación distinta de Amon Düül que combinó miembros de ambas facciones dentro de una formación flotante con varios artistas invitados, y que fueron editadas por R.U. Kaiser sin el conocimiento o autorización de los músicos, probablemente intentando sacar partido de la creciente popularidad de Amon Düül II.
 
Una grabación mítica en la que nos ofrecen clásicos underground como "Love Is Peace", "Snow Yout Thurst Sun Open Your Mouth" o "Paramechanische Welt". Incluídas en nuestra edición encontramos también ambas caras de su buscadísimo single para Ohr : "Paramechanical World" / "Eternal Flow". Otro legendario título de Ohr rescatado por Wah Wah.
 
Estrictamente limitado a 500 copias. Portada reproduciendo el artwork original.
Incluye los bonus tracks "Paramechanical World" y "Eternal Flow" (origialmente aparecidos en un single de 7").

DAVE DAVANI FOUR - FUSED!

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS044

LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!

 
AVAILABLE : MARCH 2008
 

 
Wah Wah is proud to announce the inminent vinyl reissue of one of the best Hammond organ fueled LPs from the Swingin' London years! The talented organist Dave Davani and his group were a regular act at top clubs like the Flamingo or the Ricky Tick, sharing the spotlight with other top British names such as Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, Graham Bond Organization, Artwoods, Georgie Fame or even US heavy weights as Jimmy McGriff.
 
The superb 'Fused!' LP, originally released by Parlophone in 1965, is a killer sample of what Davani and Co. delivered in the sweaty smokey night clubs of London that year. First class Hammond powered mod jazz and R&B, deeply rooted in the sounds of the fab Jimmy McGriff, 'Big' John Patton, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith soul jazz albums imported from the US at the time. From the top opening track, an organ-ized version of the classic Miles Davis 'Milestones', to the last groove of the record this one will please everybody into swingin' soul jazz sounds.
 
Reissued on vinyl format for the first time, you have a chance to grab yourself a copy of this goodie at a reasonable price - but only for a while, since it has been licensed for a 1000 copies run and albums good like this one do not last to much on the shop's shelves, get it now before it's too late! An exact repro of the original Parlophone LP upgraded with cool liner notes written for the occasion by today's Hammond maestro Nick Rossi.
 
¡Wah Wah se enorgullece de anunciar la inminente reedición en vinilo de uno de los mejores LPs de sonido Hammond editados en los años del 'Swingin' London'! El gran organista Dave Davani y su grupo eran una de las atracciones regulares en clubs como el Flamingo o el Ricky Tick, compartiendo cartel con otros grandes nombres de la escena británica como fueron Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, Georgie Fame o incluso con pesos pesados de los USA como Jimmy McGriff.
 
El sensacional LP 'Fused'!, editado originalmente en 1965 por Parlophone, es una muestra de lo que Davani y compañía eran capaces de ofrecer en los clubs de Londres ese año. Mod jazz y R&B de primera clase, con profundas raíces en los sonidos de los fabulosos discos de soul jazz, entonces importados de Estados Unidos y grabados por genios de la talla de Jimmy McGriff, 'Big' John Patton, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, etc. Un disco en el que los aficionados a los sonidos soul jazz disfrutarán de lo lindo desde el primer tema, una estupenda versión al órgano del clásico 'Milestones' de Miles Davis hasta el último surco.
 
Reeditado por primera vez en vinilo, aquí tienes una oportunidad de hacerte con una copia de esta maravilla a precio razonable - pero por poco tiempo, lo hemos licenciado para una edición limitada de únicamente 1000 copias, ¡y discos así de buenos vuelan pronto de las cubetas de las tiendas, consíguelo antes de que se agote! Una reproducción exacta del original de Parlophone de 1965, ampliado con notas cortesía del maestro del Hammond actual, Nick Rossi.

BÜLENT ORTAÇGIL - BENIMILE OYNAR MISIN?

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS045


LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!


 
AVAILABLE : MARCH 2008
 

 
From the hidden depths of the eastern Mediterranean, down in the Capadocian mistery lands, comes Bulent Ortaçgil, one of national musical treasures of Turkey, but one that to Western ears remains unheard. To this day.
 
Ortaçgil, or Bülent, which became his artistic name in his beginnings, during the much loved and never forgotten sixties, made a name to himself on the same scene as Fikret Kizilok, who has now made some waves since his inclusion on Damon and Naomi's compilation "International Sad Hits". But Bülent's music, much as it was of its time, was not at all sad, even though it also came from the heart. And what a heart. It could be said that his voice was indeed as sweet as that of the Golden Horn, and that his music united two continents as much as the Galata Bridge united two parts of Istanbul. For Bülent's music was deeply Turkish but assimilated the folk flavours of the day, British or American, but the most gentle and perfumed ones. Want names? Donovan and Nick Drake, mainly.
 
Bülent's "Benimile Oynar Misin?" has to be heard to be believed, really. Wah Wah's vinyl edition is the first legit edition outside his own country, remastered and with the original artwork. Do yourself a favour. Listen to Bülent. (Ferran Llauradó)
 
De las oscuras profundidades del Mediterráneo oriental, por las misteriosas tierras de la Capadocia, llega Bülent Ortaçgil, uno de los tesores nacionales musicales de Turquia - uno que permanece inédito para los oídos orientales... ¡Hasta ahora!
 
Ortaçgil, o Bülent - como se le conoció artísticamente en sus inicios, durante la amada y nunca olvidada década de los sesenta - se hizo un nombre en la misma escena que Fikret Kizilok, hoy reivindicado desde su inclusión en el recopilatorio de Damon & Naomi "International Sad Hits". Sin embargo la música de Bülent, aún viniendo directamente del corazón, no puede ser descrita como "triste". Se podría decir que su voz es, de hecho, tan dulce como el Cuerno Dorado, y de su música que unió dos continentes igual que el puente de Galata une las dos partes de Estambul, siendo tan profundamente turka y a la vez habiendo asimilado los sabores folkies de la época, tanto británicos como americanos. Si hacen falta nombres de referencia, Donovan y Nick Drake son los primeros que vienen a la mente.
 
"Benimile Oynar Misin?" debe escucharse para creer. La edición de Wah Wah es la primera edición oficial fuera de su propio país, remasterizada y con la portada "gatefold" original. ¡Házte un favor : escucha a Bülent! (Ferran Llauradó)

STEVE TILSTON - AN ACOUSTIC CONFUSION
 
WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS046

LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!

 
The beautiful debut album by Steve Tilston was originally released by The Village Thing in 1971. Housed in a beautiful sleeve it contained ten wonderful songs, mostly played on just acoustic guitar (plus voice, of course), which showed the great talent of a young Tilston that must have been listening to a lot of stuff by Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Donovan, Wizz Jones or Davy Graham. Occasionally he is also accompained by Dave Evans (guitar & vocals), Keith Warmington (harmonica & vocal), John Turner (string bass) and Pete Finch (violin).
 
The ten songs on the album are original compositions written by Tilston himself, and the Wah Wah LP will feature two extra bonus tracks from 1978, previously unreleased on vinyl format, plus an insert with the lyrics.
 
El precioso álbum de debut de Steve Tilston fue editado originalmente por The Village Thing en 1971. Envuelto en una preciosa portada, contenía 10 canciones maravillosas, principalmente tocadas únicamente a la acústica (más voz, evidentemente), que mostraban ya el gran talento de un joven Tilston que en su momento debió escuchar mucho a Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Donovan, Wizz Jones o Davy Graham. Ocasionalmente es acompañado por Dave Evans (guitarra y voz), Keith Warmington (harmónica y voz), John Turner (string bass) y Pete Finch (violín).
 
Las diez canciones del LP son composiciones originales de Tilston, y la reedición de Wah Wah ofrece dos bonus tracks de la época que no aparecieron en el LP original.

HUNT & TURNER - MAGIC LANDSCAPE
 
WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS047

LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!

The second of our reissues from The Village Thing catalogue is this wonderful 1972 LP by the talented duo Ian Hunt and John Turner. Hunt & Turner got together in the summer of 1970, after having worked as some of the most in demand session musicians of the West Country's. Turner was an acomplished string bass player, while Hunt was already a big name on the Bristol scene, playing great guitar and writing songs. They moved around Bristol's Troubadour Club, which Turner had run for several years, and as once the duo was arranged they expanded their art around the UK and Europe. With this LP they gathered a small amount of success, reaching #6 in the Melody Maker folk charts.
 
More fabulous folk sounds plenty of crystalline acoustic guitars and delicious vocals, at times reminiscing of CSN&Y and relatives. Hunt & Turner, who -besides their fab vocal duties- already play acoustic & electric guitars, electric and string bass and bongos, are ocasionally augmented by John Merritt on bass guitar and Rod Matthews on percussion.
 
Comes an insert with the lyrics.
 
La segunda de nuestras reediciones del sello The Village Thing es este maravilloso LP de 1972 obra del dúo Hunt & Turner, reunido a finales del verano de 1970, tras haber trabajado ambos componentes por su cuenta como músicos de sesion en el West Country. Turner era contrabajista, y Hunt se había hecho ya un nombre en la escena de Bristol como guitarrista y autor de canciones. Se movían por el Troubadour Club de Bristol, y una vez reunidos como dúo expandieron su campo de actuación por todo del Reino Unido e incluso por Europa. Con este LP alcanzaron un cierto éxito, llegando al número 6 de las listas de folk de la revista Melody Maker.
 
Más fabulosos sonidos folk llenos de guitarras acústicas de cristalino sonido y deliciosas harmonías vocales, a ratos reminiscentes de CSN&Y y parientes. La formación de Hunt & Turner, quienes a parte de sus espléndidas partes vocales también tocan guitarras acústicas y eléctricas, bajo y contrabajo y bongos, es ocasionalmente aumentada por John Merritt al bajo y Rod Matthews a la percusión.

THE SUN ALSO RISES
 
WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS048

LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!
 
Another acid folk delicatessen from The Village Thing catalogue, The Sun Also Rises was recorded by Graham Hemingway (vocals, guitar) and Anne Hemingway (vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion). They were occasionally joined by John Turner (string bass, finger-picked & with a bow) and Andy Legget (whistle on one of the songs). It features an amazing tapestry of acid folk sounds with great male/female vocal harmonies. On the sources of this record you will hear echoes of The Incredible String Band, Comus, C.O.B or Tir Na Nog, but of course delivered with the own personality of this Cardiff duo, very hippie sounding with a very trippy athmosphere. It is really a delicatessen for your ears!
 
The album was originally released in 1970, and our reissue will include one bonus track not on the original release, taken from a 1972 Village Thing sampler. Comes in beautifully reproduced artwork in nice matt finish. Not only a top listener, but also a beautiful addition to your acid folk collection. Remember it's just 500 copies, it will run away fast! Comes an insert with the lyrics.

Grabado por Graham Hemingway (voz, guitarra) y Anne Hemingway (voz, dulcimer, glockenspiel. vibráfono y percusión), con la colaboración ocasional de John Turner (contrabajo y contrabajo tocado con arco) y Andy Legget. Acid folk con juego de voces masculina / femenina y con ecos de la Incredible String Band, Comus, C.O.B. o Tir Na Nog, pero evidentemente con la personalidad propia de este dúo de Cardiff, un aire muy hippie y una atmósfera muy "trippy".
 
El álbum se editó en 1970, y nuestra reedición incluirá un bonus track no aparecido en la edición original, extraído de un recopilatorio de The Village Thing editado en 1972.

STAFF CARPENBORG & THE ELECTRIC CORONA - FANTASTIC PARTY!
 
WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS WLP007

LIMITED EDITION - 500 COPIES ONLY!
 

AVAILABLE : MARCH 2008
 
Probably one of the weirdest discoveries in the field of collectable german albums in recent years, Staff Carpenborg’s sole output was first brought to the spotlight by the compilers of the celebrated "Kraut! Demons! Kraut!" cd-series in the mid-90’s. Since then rumours and interest about the album have risen exponentially since this is weird record (and we mean WEIRD) is one of the earliest known examples of kraut-rock. How such a demented collection of tunes found their way on the budget Maritim label is up to everyone’s guess, specially if one takes into account the label typical output of schlager, mariachi songs, children tales and similar all-ages budget shmaltz. This may be also the reason why "Fantastic Party" went under the radar for so many diggers and record collectors as little they expect such crazyness would hide in the grooves on this otherwise crappy-looking album.
No one knows who was behind this weird studio project except a certain Paul Bucher credited on the record as the composer of all tracks. Anyway what this anonymous bunch of musicians left behind was a puzzling set of psychedelic jams choked with an overdose of effects which can be easily labelled as proto-kraut. Like the bastard son of Can (or better, The Inner Space) scoring a weird sexadelic euro flick, this is the missing link connecting a whole string of renegade, leftfield german music, from The Vampires of Dartmoore to Amon Duul, that is, from psych-explotation experiments to bona fide kraut-rock.

So open your ears to the sounds of the strangest and most fantastic party you’re ever to attend with our reissue of this obscure artifact brought back to life for your aural delight. Available in a limited issue of 500 copies bearing the usual Wah Wah trademark of quality. Cover art reproduces original artwork from the 1970’s Maritim lp. Remastered sound by Dennis Blackham @ Skye Mastering.

Probablemente uno de los más insólitos descubrimientos en el campo del coleccionismo de LPs alemanes de años recientes, el único álbum de Staff Carpenborg fue reivindicado por las series de CDs recopilatorios "Kraut! Demons! Kraut!" a mediados de los 90. Desde entonces, los rumores acerca del LP y el interés por el mismo no han dejado de crecer, pues este insólito (realmente: INSÓLITO) fue uno de los más tempranos exponentes de lo que se conocería por kraut-rock. Cómo tal alocada collección de canciones llegó al catálogo del sello Maritim queda a la imaginación de cada cual, teniendo en cuenta el típico repertorio de canción ligera, mariachis, cuentos infantiles, etc. en cuya edición estaba especializado el sello. Puede que por esta razón "Fantastic Party" escapara al radar de tantos y tantos buscadores de rarezas y colleccionistas, evidentemente no esperaban de Maritim un disco de sonido tan bizarro como el que hoy es objeto de flamante reedición.
 
Se desconoce quien estaba detrás de este insólito proyecto de estudio, únicamente tenemos el nombre de un tal Paul Bucher como autor de las canciones. En cualquier caso, este puñado de músicos anónimos nos ha legado este puzzle crreado a base de jams psicodélicas salteadas con una sobredósis de efectos que pueden fácilmente etiquetarse de "proto-kraut". Un hijo bastardo de Can (o mejor aún, de The Inner Space) grabando sonido sexadélicos que se alza como el eslabón perdido en la evolución hacia la ristra de bizarros músicos alemanes que van de los Vampires of Dartmoore hasta Amon Düül... O sea, desde experimentos de exploito´-psych, hasta monstruos del kraut rock.
 
¡Así pues, abre tus orejas a ñps sonidos de la más extraña fiesta fantástica a la que jamás hayas asistido con nuestra reedición de este oscuro artefacto sónico rescatado del olvido para tu placer auditivo! Disponible en una edición limitada de 500 copias con sonido remasterizado por Denis Blackham @ Skye Mastering y reproducción de la portada original.

LPS040 - SERGIUS GOLOWIN "LORD KRISHNA VON GOLOKA" (Limited 500 copies)

Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser’s first attempt to cast a "kosmische" super-group using the rooster of his Ohr and Kosmische Kuriere labels as the backing band for swiss painter (he did the original cover for the Ash Ra Tempel / Timothy Leary Seven-Up album) and gypsy mystic Sergius Golowin, this record can be considered actually as the starter of the Cosmic Jokers saga as it got together for the first time Wallenstein, Witthüsser & Westrupp, Klaus Schulze and the enigmatic Jörg Mierke into some sort cosmic allstar-band. An enchanting album where musicians back Golowin’s spoken-word ramblings with an inspired flow of sound which keeps on rising and falling, sometimes folky, sometimes electronic, always delicate and mystic. A truly work of genius !!!

El primer intento de Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser de formar un super grupo "kosmische" usando a músicos de los discos de sus sellos Ohr y Kosmische Kuriere como banda de acompañamiento del pintor suizo y gitano místico Sergius Golowin (responsable por ejemplo de la portada del LP de Ash Ra Tempel / Timothy Leary 'Severn-Up'). Este disco se puede considerar de hecho el punto de partida de la saga de Cosmic Jokers, ya que reunió por primera vez a Wallenstein, Witthüsser y Westrupp, Klaus Schulze y al enigmático Jörg Mierke. Un LP encantador en el que los músicos acompañan las lucubraciones "spoken word" de Golowin con una inspirada fluidez sónica a ratos folkie, a ratos electrónica, siempre delicada y mística. Obra de genios, sin duda.

Second chapter on the Bröselmaschine saga after a four-year hyatus.. The band's second incarnation came to life in 1975, when Peter Bursch reformed the group together with old member Willi Kissmer and new recruit Klaus Dapper (flute, sax, tuba). Helped by such honorable guests as Mani Neumeier and Roland Schaeffer (from Guru Guru) or Jan Fride from Kraan their 1976 album was a solid session of progressive folk, very different than it's predecessor but also with an atypically hypnotic and haunting quality. Long jams, ranging from the relaxed to the energetic, extended instrumental parts, nice flute and sax touches, sparse vocals. A totally underrated gem waiting to be rediscovered. Top progressive kraut-folk sounds!!!
 
 
Segundo capítulo de la saga de Bröselmaschine, editado tras un descanso discográfico de 4 años. La segunda encarnación de la banda nació en 1975, cuando Peter Bursch reformó el grupo contando con la ayuda de otro de sus componentes originales, Willi Kissmer, y reclutando a Klaus Dapper (flauta, saxo, tuba). Ayudados por colaboradores invitados de la talla de Mani Neumeier y Roland Schaffer (miembros de Guru Guru) o Jan Fride (de Kraan) su LP de 1976 es una sólida sesión de folk progresivo, distinto de su primer LP, pero igualmente dotado de una calidad hipnótica y cautivadora. Largas improvisaciones instrumentales que conducen al oyente por caminos que se mueven entre la tranquilidad más relajante y la energía más movida, ricas en sonidos de flauta y toques de saxo, y con partes vocales. Una joya completamente desconocida que espera ser redescubierta. ¡Kraut-folk progresivo de la mayor calidad!

LPS043 - FRANZ DE BYL - UND (Limited 500 copies)
 

Time to unearth another kraut obscurity, sought-after by collectors worlwide since his inclusion on the legendary NWW-list. Franz De Byl's second album, released by Thorofon in 1971, was actually his debut as a solo performer, an eccentric collection of freaky acoustic folk songs with bluesy elements and an extra satirical, political twist (not unlike Floh De Cologne). Weird sounds and compulsive chanting from this master of the acoustic guitar, one of the most curious characters to emerge ever from the Berlin underground!!!
 
Wah Wah saca a la luz otra oscura rareza, buscada por coleccionistas de todo el mundo desde su inclusión en la legendaria lista NWW. El segundo LP de Franz De Byl, editado por Thorofon en 1971, fue en realidad su debut como artista en solitario. Se trata de una excéntrica colección de acústicas canciones folk con elementos del blues y un toque satirico de crítica política (en la onda de Floh de Cologne), cantado compulsivamente por este maestro de la guitarra acústica, uno de los personajes más curiosos del underground berlinés de todos los tiempos.

LPS033 - THE GHOST : WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - ONE SECOND

El LP de The Ghost es uno de los más fabulosos discos de la escena psych / prog inglesa. Originaria de Birmingham, contaba en sus filas con Paul Eastment, guitarrista de The Velvett Fogg.

Originalmente editado en 1970 por el sello Gemini en el Reino Unido y por Exit/Ekipo en 1971 en España, este álbum representa un paso adelante más allá de la psicodelia para adentrarse en el terreno del rock progresivo, aunque manteniendo todavía una atmosfera expansiva a lo largo de los surcos. Torbellinos de órgano Hammond, pirótecnicos riffs de guitarra, deliciosas partes de guitarra acústica y, por encima de todo ello, fenomenales arreglos vocales, con la especial atracción del delicioso tono de Shirley Kent (Shirley grabaría después el LP "Fresh Out" bajo el pseudónimo de Virginia Tree).


Sonido masterizado, portada a todo color y laminada, un bonus-track extraído de la cara B de un sencillo no incluído en la edición original se unen a los fabulosos sonidos del LP para hacer de esta edición una pieza imprescindible para tu colección. Edición limitada de únicamente 500 copias, ¡consíguelo ahora antes de que se agote!

EMTIDI - EMTIDI

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS LPS034 LP



EMTIDI are best remembered nowadays for their classic album "Saat," but prior to that release the duo formed by Maik Hirschfeldt and Dolly Holmes had already released a marvellous LP. This superb debut album is filled with charming folk oriented material. 6, 7 and 12 string accoustic guitars and beautiful flute arrangements surround the lovely female/male duet voices of Hirschfeldt and his Canadian partenaire Holmes, making this album a pleasure for the listener, a nice piece for the collector and a source of good taste influences for the young musicians into today's new folk scene. Yes : this LP will give satisfaction not only to kraut-rock collectors, but also to all those into old folk gods like Pentangle, Vasthi Bunyan, Bridget St. John, Book Of Am... Plus to all those into the Devendra Banhart, Espers, Circulus... sounds!

Sung in English, it was recorded in July 1970 and originally released on the Thorofon label, who issued a very short run, thus making it one of those rarity items so valued by record collectors, with the addition that for this time the music lives up to the expectations of its market price value!

"Emtidi were the forerunners of what could be named krautfolk; that is: the effort to create a true german folk movement, with a cosmic, avant-garde aim. Dolly and Maik formed a mysterious, unusual duet, with English lyrics that were either plenty of hippie mysticism at times as they were of parody at others. Although "Saat" is their most known record, "Emtidi" already showed the group's personality keys: orirism, hallucinated vocals and an extraordinary sense of humour."   (Ferran Llauradó, Rockdelux)

Here at Wah Wah we thought it was time to give this gem a proper edition as it deserves, with top quality pressing from the original master tapes and housed in its original gatefold sleeve. A nice chance to get this one for far less the amount an original copy changes hands for !!!

Strictly limited edition. 1000 copies. Get it now or cry later!

A EMTIDI se les recuerda principalmente por su clásico "Saat", pero anteriormente el dúo formado por Maik Hirschfelt y Dolly Holmes había editado este maravilloso LP. Este soberbio debut viene cargado de encantadores sonidos folk. Guitarras acústicas de 6, 7 y 12 cuerdas y preciosos arreglos de flauta arropan las voces masculina y femenina del dúo formado por Hirschfeldt y su socia, canadiense de origen, Holmes, y hacen de este álbum un placer para el oyente, una interesante pieza para el coleccionista y una fuente de inspiración para los jóvenes músicos de la escena neo-folk actual. Sí, a parte de los seguidores de la escena kraut-rock, este disco hara las delicias de los amantes de los discos de Pentangle, Vashti Bunyan, Bridget St. John, Book Of Am... Y también de los aficionados a sonidos de la escena neo-folk actual, Devendra Banhart, Espers, Circulus, etc.

Cantado en inglés, las canciones fueron grabadas en julio de 1970 y se editaron en el sello Thorofon, que realizó un pequeño prensaje del álbum, convirtiéndose así en una de esas rarezas tan buscadas por los coleccionistas de discos, con el añadido de que en este caso la música responde a las expectativas que levanta el alto precio de un original en el mercado de colección.

"Emtidi fueron el máximo exponente de lo que podríamos denominar krautfolk, es decir, el intento de crear un movimiento folk auténticamente alemán con vocación cósmica y vanguardista. Además, Dolly y Maik formaron un dúo especialmente misterioso e inusual, con unas letras en inglés que tanto se dejaban llevar por el misticismo hippie como lo parodiaban. Aunque "Saat" sea su disco más conocido, en "Emtidi" ya aparecen todas las claves del grupo: onirismo, voces alucinadas, y un sentido del humor fuera de lo común."   (Ferran Llauradó, Rockdelux)

En Wah Wah creemos que ha llegado la hora de darle a esta joya el tratamiento que merece, con prensaje de calidad a partir de los másters originales y portada abierta respetando al máximo la edición original. Una buena oportunidad para conseguir este disco por menos de los tropecientos euros que se piden por una copia original !!!

HEINZ VON MOISY - IRISATION LAS PLANTAS

WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS WBSLP013



Great but still rather unknown german spiritual jazz including the massive "Nil", originally compiled by Rainer Trüby on the second volume of the Glücklich series (along Sail Joia and Niagara).

It’s about time to exhumate this gem from the 70’s german jazz underground for your listening pleasure !.

Drummer Heinz Von Moisy leads Irisation, an incredible quintet formed Carlo Domeniconi (acoustic guitar), Manfred Burzlaff (vibraphon), Dieter Gützkow (bass), Ulrich Moritz (percussion) and Von Moissy himself performing six self-penned original numbers (either by Domeniconi or Burlaff) that cross a wide selection of moods and atmospheres; from the free and fragile delicacy of Nil, which builds from silence to reach the most inspired climax, to the sunny guitar licks of "Samba Do Contrabandista" via the cinematic "La Carretera" or the irresistibly hypnotic "Mirage", let’s not forget the eastern-flavoured track-title "Las plantas". Full of exotic, almost oriental touches and breezy brazilian vibes, this is an album to discover and treasure !!

Originally released by the tiny Thorofon label in 1977, now Wah Wah brings it back from oblivion in a limited issue strictly limited to 500 copies housed in a nice cover reproducing the original artwork by member Ulli Moritz . Better grab one now !!

Strictly limited edition. 500 copies. Get it now or cry later!

LPS032 ATILA "INTENCIÓN" LP

IN STOCK NOW !!!! - RETAIL PRICE 18 EUROS


Hey, here's some great news : we have reached an agreement for the reissue in vinyl format of the glorious second LP by this killer Spanish hard prog psychedelic band !!!


INTENCIÓN, the sensational second LP recorded by Atila, has never fetched the high amounts their debut album THE BEGINNING OF THE END (Wah Wah LPS022) does exchange hands for in the collectors' market, but it is still a mega rare LP hardly seen below the 400 euros tag, and is considered by many to be better than their previous output. At the time of recording this album, the band was already considered one of the top stage acts from Spain, which led to their signing for the BASF label, where they were allowed to a better production which not only resulted in a better sound but also in a much more visually attractive full colour gatefold sleeve, which the Wah Wah reissue will reproduce to perfection. Originally issued in 1976, INTENCIÓN is the perfect follow-up to THE BEGINNING OF THE END, with the band offering further pieces led by the strong guitar licks by Eduardo Niebla, Benet Nogué's organ & Moog, and Joan Punyet's drums melting in top progressive freakouts, plus the addition of wordless vocal parts, adding a symphonic edge to the general sound. Side A offers three killer tracks in that vein, while B side is a new recording of the bands' signature theme EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN, with updated overtones, Moog passages and a much better recorded sound than the one appearing on their debut LP.

The Wah Wah release will be housed in a full colour gatefold sleeve reproduction of the original issue and with magically remastered sound from the original master tapes, as usual improved by sound wizard Denis Blackham @ SkyMastering, and then, of course, pressed in quality vinyl. That's Wah Wah's philosophy : making reissues that are even better than the original issues!!!!!!

RELEASE DUE : JULY 2006


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


¡Futura novedad en Wah Wah! Hemos llegado a un acuerdo para la reedición en vinilo del segundo LP de los sensacionales Atila, la legendaria banda de música progresiva de Girona.

INTENCIÓN, el fantástico segundo LP grabado por Atila nunca ha alcanzado las sumas que se pagan por su predecesor EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN, pero raramente se ve por debajo de los 400 euros y para muchos es mejor que su primer LP. A la hora de realizar esta grabación el grupo dispuso de mejores medios, tanto a nivel de producción de sonido como a la hora de enfundar el disco en una preciosa portada doble a todo color que la reedición de Wah Wah reproducirá a la perfección. Originalmente editado en 1976 en el sello BASF, INTENCIÓN ofrece más desarollos progresivos conducidos por la fabulosa guitarra de Eduardo Niebla, el órgano y Moog de Benet Nogué y la batería de Joan Punyet, con algunos pasajes a los que añaden coros vocales, y dándole a la mezcla un toque sinfónico. La cara A presenta tres nuevas composiciones de la banda, mientras en la B una nueva versión del tema estrella del grupo, EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN, hace las delicias de propios y extraños con un sonido mejorado respecto a la versión de su álbum de debut.

La edición de Wah Wah reproduce la portada "gatefold" a todo color del original, ofrece sonido remasterizado  por el mago del sonido Denis Blackham @ SkyeMastering, a partir de las cintas máster originales y, naturalmente, un prensaje en vinilo de calidad. Esa es la filosofía de Wah Wah : ofrecer ediciones que son incluso mejores que las originales!!!!!

The Storm hailed from Sevilla and were acclaimed by audiences and press reviewers as one of the best rock bands from Spain. The combo was formed by the Ruiz Geniz brothers (Angel and Diego, on guitar and drums respectively) plus Luis Genil (organ) and José Torres (bass).


Their debut album, originally released on Basf in 1974, is one of the Crown jewells of Spanish hard rock, and changes hands for a small fortune among collectors all over the world, especially since its inclusion in Hans Pokora's 'Record Dreams' books.

This LP really rocks. It's high energy hard rock that follows the line marked by the big organ outfits of the era: Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster, Bram Stoker, Megatón, a.o. It has also a deep classic prog sound root, which reaches the top on 'Un Señor Llamado Fernández De Córdoba'.

We are talking of one of the seminal Spanish hard rock LPs.

LPS029 ORA (2LP)

LIMITED EDITION. 1000 NUMBERED COPIES.

Wah Wah Records is proud to announce the reissue of the recorded works by this amazing folk-with-popsike-jazz-and-even-bossa UK band! Originally released on the Tangerine label, the Ora LP was also issued in the German Metronome label as "Knick Knacks", but gets its first vinyl reissue since it first came out on this 2LP set. Record 1 will feature the original Ora LP as it was first issued back in 1969, while record 2 is made up of previously unreleased in vinyl format top quality material by the band and will include tracks never issued before in any format that original band member James Rubinstein had in his personal archive. 25 must-have songs for anyone interested in UK folk/pop/psych ! !


It is an album of incredible beauty, recorded by some talented young artists, Here is an extract from the original 1969 press release:

Jamie Rubinstein, 18, leader, lead vocalist and guitarist with the group called ORA, wrote all the songs on their new LP. He arranged most of them. While making the album Jamie was studing for his GCE A Levels. This is the group's first release, a single is being planned.

Jamie and Robin Sylvester, 18, who plays bass guitar, piano, organ, and is co-arranger, are the main-stays of the four-piece group. The others, lead guitarist Jon Weiss and drummer Julian Diggle, are "floating" members. Jamie, Robin, and Julian had met at UCS (University College School) in Hampstead.

The Wah Wah edition will be housed in a gatefold sleeve that will respect the original artwork concept, graphically adapted to this new issue following the directions of Ora leader James Rubinstein. James himself signs the inner notes so you get an accurate first person told history of the band who would later become the legendary progressive rock group Byzantium.

LPS031 NICK GARRIE THE NIGHTMARE OF J.B. STANISLAS (LP)

LIMITED EDITION. 1000 NUMBERED COPIES.


The fabulous singer-songwriter / popsike masterpiece by Nick Garrie-Hamilton is reissued in vinyl format for the first time ever since its very rare France-only release in 1969. A perfect chance to get your hands on a high quality vinyl pressing without having to pay the incredibly big amounts of money an original copy changes hands for nowadays.

A musical delicatessen by this great Russian/Scotish, French raised singer songwriter. This LP first came out in France in 1969, under the production of Eddie Vartan, who managed to embody Nick's perfect songs into an orchestration with several common points to that in other great albums from the era coming from the UK (think of Billy Nichols, Duncan Browne, Bill Fay...). Soon after the record came out, the AZ's label owner commited suicide, the label resting orphan and thus the release being unpromoted & undistributed sank in the dust of time. One of its songs, "Wheel Of Fortune", was rescued back in the Strange Things Are Happening days for its inclusion on a volume of the legendary "Circus Days" compilations. Nick kept on releasing albums, The "Suitcase Man" LP came in Spain in the eighties, and two more records have been issued since then, "The Playing Fields" and "Twelve Old Songs", but interest for his debut LP has grown in recent years among collectors over the globe, an original copy fetching amounts moving between 600 and 1000 euros. We do believe this album is so good that it shouldn't be reserved only to the few who can afford those numbers, so here is a perfect vinyl reissue for the mere mortals like you and me!

The Wah Wah edition, issued under license from Nick Garrie himself, comes with two bonus tracks taken from Nick's rare pre-LP 45, issued in France in 1968. It has been master cut by Yann Dub @ DK Mastering for a high quality sound pressing that will satisfy the most exquisite audiophile, respects the original artwork and comes with a small insert with annotations by Mr. Jon "Mojo" Mills, editor of the famed Shindig! Magazine. It is strictly limited to 1000 numbered copies that we are sure will sell like hot bread. Get yours before it's too late!

  THE BOOK OF AM


We are proud to announce the reissue of the legendary Book Of Am, a unique combination of recordings and artwork which stands up as an enduring testament of the fertile hippie scene which flourished in the Baleric islands during the seventies.
Known to record collectors and psych/folk/prog music aficionados alike, this multicultural band formed in the island of Mallorca in the mid 70’s recorded a beautiful (and outrageously scarce) album which has gained cult status as years passed by.

The Book Of Am was originally devised as a beatifully illustrated book focused on various world folklore and traditions, coupled with 4 lp’s which would represent a musical

This 4-lp set would correspond to the four phases of day (Dawn, Morning, Afternoon, Night)

Only the first of this records (Morning) would eventually see the light of day in a tiny private pressing which changes hands nowadays for obscene amounts of money. So now, alongside the reissue of the original Book Of Am album we’re very proud to present the first-ever release of the previously unissued Part II of the Book Of Am, which leader Juan Arkotxa remastered recently from the original master tapes.

Both albums will come in a lavish gatefold cover which will feature as well a 112-page book reproducing the original engravings by Juan Arkotxa, 64 of which are full color. Never released back in the day due to it’s high production costs, now, the central part of the Book Of Am, can finally see the light of day. A round-the-worldtrip through the folklore, legends, lore and cosmogonies of some of the world’s cultures, from ancient egypt to celtic traditions.

With: Juan Arkotxa (vocals, flute, 12 string guitar), Leslie Mackenzie (tamboura, vocals), Jerry C. Hart (guitar, drums, synthetizer), Carmeta (vocals) & Jean-Paul Vini (synthetizer, vocals).

Stricltly limited edition: 500 pressed, 250 of which are reserved for direct mail sales and 250 will be supplied to retailers via our regular distributors. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes by Denis Blackham @ Isle Of Skye. Cut by Yann Dub @ Reverse. Audiophile quality pressing in regular weight vinyl. Originally projected as a 2LP + Book set, this is the first time ever this great work is released as it was conceived, since the mega rare french release from the mid-70's only included one of the LPs and was missing the great book with the beautiful engravings by Juan Arkotxa.














LPS022  ATILA 'BEGINNING OF THE END' (LP + 7")


Often hailed as one the hard psych masterpieces to come out from Spain in the early 70’s, "The Beginning Of The End" was the vinyl debut of Atila, a trio formed in 1973 by Eduardo Niebla -guitar- Joan Punyet -drums- y Francisco Ortega –keyboards-. Originally released in 1975 by the obscure New Promotions label in a alledged tiny pressing of 100 copies the album has reached "monster" status between die-hard collectors worldwide, sometimes reaching the 1500€ tag.

An incredible progressive tour de force, the album combined the typical classical leanings, fierce guitar leads and dark keys all over in the best european tradition of the era (think italian prog).

Another rarity which finally reaches a wider audience thanks to Wah Wah in a well presented reissue that is completed by two bonus tracks plus a 7" including two more extra tracks all taken from contemporany sessions (actually same month as the album recordings) which show the band delve into Pink Floyd-territory circa More/Ummagumma (think Careful With That Axe, Eugene and you’ll be pretty close).

WILLIAM S. FISCHER - AKELARRE LPS028 VINYL LP

Satanologysts, wizardologysts, specialists in various types of palingenesis, famed talmudists and other studious of witchery agree to the importance of music in the old akelarres. Having been burnt some of our witches by the roman Inquisition, the others seeked for shelter in their subterranean homes.

A fantastic world was formed then. Basque witches and sorcerers prosecuted by Pierre de Lancre, alied with an old jewish gnome -who claimed to be a cousin of Spinoza- did invoke the underground spirits of black fugitive slaves who escaped from the razzias that our European ancestors, in the name of civilization, took to Africa. (from Sorta’s original liner notes)

Weird and obscure as they come... in 1972 arranger William S. Fischer lands in the basque country and produces some funky reinterprations of popular basque folklore songs and dances, all around the theme of witchery and covens (Akelarre). As crazy and weird as it may sound, this record is virtually unheard of in collector’s circles.

How the musical director for Atlantic Records and arranger for Wilson Pickett, Roberta Flack, Eugene McDaniels, Les McCann , Herbie Mann and countless others got involved with this project is up to everyone’s guess. However what he comes up with is really astounding, a funky as hell workout which will get you screaming for more. Killer go go psychedelic soul which defies categorisation: tight rhythm section, open drum breaks, funky as hell guitar leads, groovy flute, weird electronic sound effects and moog bits (most likely courtesy of Walter E. Sear, who gets a mention in the original liners) alternate with more stylish moments (think Terry Callier or blaxpotation soundtracks of the era like Marvin Gaye's Troubleman) and even some fusion styled groovers.

Fans of his funky jazz rock cum electronics masterpiece "Circles" (released by Embryo in 1970 and feaured on Mojo’s "50 Most Out There Albums of All Time" list) won’t be deceived, for he shows here the same masterful sense of groove and orchestration but in a more danceable, not so avant-garde context. An unknown record that deserves to be brought back to life in this limited reissue of 500 (five-hundred) copies. Get it now or cry later...

LPS014 MÁQUINA 'WHY?'

Originally born as the backing band for spanish folk-singer Sisa after his electrification around 1969, this bunch of catalan youngsters led by the Batiste-Herrera tandem became
soon the most prominent and visible heads of the grassroots movement which shake the foundations of the city’s musical world at the beginning of the seventies and which can be considered as the parting shot for progressive rock in Spain..
Why?, their debut album (also known as the "croissant" lp) is widely regarded in and out of Spain as one the best records ever to come out of Spain.. A wah wah (of course!), fuzz & hammond feast by this talented  pioneering crew.

An astonishing freak-out croissant baked with love by JMª Paris (fuzz guitar), Lluis Cabanach (wah wah guitar, bass), JMª Vilaseca "Tapi" (drums), Jordi Batiste (vocals, bass, flute) & Enric Herrera (organ, piano).

LPS016 GUALBERTO

The first album by this mythical andalusian multi-instrumentist, member of the legendary Smash, recorded in 1971 in Barcelona (another nice example of the fertile conection between the scenes in Seville and Barcelona at the beginning of the seventies), it remained unreleased until 1978 (when it appeared as one-part of the double lp "El Nacimiento Del Rock En Andalucía"). Rescued by Wah Wah thirty years after, the album shows Gualberto in a phase of creative definition, half-way Smash’s powerful sound and unique mix of  psych & folk with some oriental touch (Gualberto’s ubiquitous sitar and Jessica’s characteristic vocals) which will became his trademark in forthcoming lp’s. ("A La Vida - Al Dolor", "Vericuetos") . Without a doubt, one of the unknown treasures of Seville’s early psych/prog scene...

ia batiste
LPS019 IA-BATISTE'UN GRAN DIA' (LP + 7")

Key duo from the catalan folk scene, result of the union between Ia Clua (from "2+1") and Jordi Batiste (one of the leading forces of Máquina! together with Enric Herrera), after the later one’s return from military service.


"Un Gran Día".the duo’s first album, was recorded at the end of 1972 with the help of such outstanding musicians as Manel Joseph (ex "2+1", Ia’s early band)), Joaquín "Max" Suñer (Vértice, Tapimán, Iceberg y a neverding etc ) & Albert Batiste (Musica Dispersa).

The result is an amazing & varied musical tapestry, best heard in the record’s first side, a long suite covering from orchestral folk-pop with some psych leanings ("Un Gran Día", "Max") to straight in-your-face  hard rock ("Sleeping Rock") via typical early 70’s prog rock ("Oliba") or uncathegorisable experiments which defy all rules  ("Reprise")  and show perfectly the freaky stage reached by the catalan scene in it’s early years (as a matter of fact, the record is sung in english and catalan...).

A piece of wax which went totally unnoticed when first released in a tiny pressing back in the days (thus becoming a big ticket item in the collector’s market) and which Wah Wah rescues from oblivion thirty years after it’s original release.


An excellent work which deserves to be discovered by a wider public...

Limited issue of 500 numbered copies in gatefold cover reproducing the original artwork, including a colour insert, a colour poster and a bonus 7" single w/ one previously unreleased song.

LPS020 THE STORM'S/T'

The Storm hailed from Sevilla and were acclaimed by audiences and press reviewers as one of the best rock bands from Spain. The combo was formed by the Ruiz Geniz brothers (Angel and Diego, on guitar and drums respectively) plus Luis Genil (organ) and José Torres (bass).


Their debut album, originally released on Basf in 1974, is one of the Crown jewells of Spanish hard rock, and changes hands for a small fortune among collectors all over the world, especially since its inclusion in Hans Pokora's 'Record Dreams' books.

This LP really rocks. It's high energy hard rock that follows the line marked by the big organ outfits of the era: Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster, Bram Stoker, Megatón, a.o. It has also a deep classic prog sound root, which reaches the top on 'Un Señor Llamado Fernández De Córdoba'.

We are talking of one of the seminal Spanish hard rock LPs.

musica dispersa
LPS011  MÚSICA DISPERSA

Wah Wah Records proudly presents the new vinyl reissue of yet another smashing Spanish rarity. Musica Dispersa featured the talent of threeof the most significant musicians from the catalonian underground movement of the late sixties: Jaume Sisa, J.M. Brabo "El Cachas" and Albert Batiste, who after their Miniatura project with Pau Riba were joined by young hippie girl Selene. The album's title describes the sounds contained in the most precise way possible, but for those who need some extra lines to get into the groove it we must state that we face a masterpiece of melodic tunesthat pay a certain tribute to the English folk movement of the era, as theydo to the early Amon Duül's freak out sound concept. Echoes of TheIncredible String Band are present mainly in the guitar parts, drums areabsent in all but one track (in which they are held by Josep Mª Vilaseca"Tapi", of Máquina & Tapiman fame) and percussion, harmonica,organ, mouth harp, piano and wordless vocals are heard all through the album,as is Selene's flute work. All in all this is a strange, relaxing littlepiece of underground from Barcelona's early seventies hippie youth thathas become a classic of our country's history of pop music, and that isyet again available in a 1000 copies only strictly limited edition thatrespects the original gatefold artwork, including the slight relief ofthe cover illustration. As an addition, our release comes with extensiveliner notes and photographies. This is one of our best releases and we areproud of it!

LPS023 AFTER LIFE 'CAUCHEMAR'

One of the major discoveries of the last years in the world of collectable underground rock records is Cauchemar, the only LP by demonic french fuzzers After Life. Released only in Spain by Discophon in 1975, it remained virtually unknown until some copies started to surface in the late 90’s on the lists of some of the world’s most reputable record dealers.
 
To make things more exciting, this french four piece was produced by no other than maverick Jean-Pierre Massiera (of Visitors, Horrific Child, Les Maledictus Sound fame) and includes nine tracks of heavy psych guitar action, screaming vocals and mysterious organ interludes in the best 70’s hard progressive tradition.

Ultra rare Spanish-only LP, first time ever reissued. Not available on CD, this is the only way to get this mega rare album at a reasonable price. Includes two bonus tracks from a rare 45, not included in the original release. As usual, the sound has been digitally remastered by the DENIS BLACKHAM at SKYE MASTERING. Cut by YANN DUB at REVERSE.

A big classic from the psychedelic era, the SUPREME PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND exploitation album is said to have been recorded by DEEP PURPLE, which band members Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice have always denied. In any case, this sounds more PURPLE than Lord & Co. themselves! Very close to the sound of SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE, it contains some great Hammond works, guitar pirotecnics with loads of wah wah and distortion and psychedelic vocals. The whole album is a sonic blast that will appeal to fans of Deep Purple, psychedelic hipsters and of course general collectors and afficionados.
