The Ghost LP is one of the most fabulous UK psych/prog albums. This Birmingham band featured guitarist Paul Eastment, previously in The Velvett Fogg.


The album, originally released back in 1970 on the Gemini label in the UK and in 1971 on Exit/Ekipo records in Spain, is one step ahead psychedelia entering the realm of prog music, yet retaining an atmospheric mind expanding feel through it all. Loads of Hammond organ swirls, pyrotechnical guitar licks, beautiful accoustic guitar parts, and avobe it all killer vocal arrangements, with the special attraction of Shirley Kent's beautiful tone (Shirley would later move on to record the "Fresh Out" LP as Virginia Tree).

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 !!!

Edición estrictamente limitada a 1000 copias .

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.

storm lp
LPS020 THE STORM'S/T'

IN STOCK NOW !!!
 

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.

This is a 500 copies limited & numbered edition. Top quality laminated repro of the original sleeve and featuring an insert with extensive liner notes & photographs.
