Like the Pretty Things did with ‚S.F. Sorrow’ and the The Gods with ‘To Samuel A Son’, the Essex based group Dear Mr. Time joined the trend in releasing a concept album with a musical journey through a man’s life. However, the main difference of ‘Grandfather’ is, that this album never reached the well deserved awareness as the above mentioned albums since their sole LP was not properly published by their label and therefore the band folded soon after. Released in 1970, this album perfectly shows the transition from Psychedelic Music into the beginnings of Progressive Music which took place at this time. Strong melodies and a variety of styles emerge in twelve great songs reflecting the life of Grandfather.

This first official reissue on vinyl comes with an insert and one Bonustrack.

Some members of Kalevala evolved out of the band Apollo in 1972 and their first album is to be considered as one of the milestones in finnish progressive hard rock. Sung in english, the LP contains eight tracks of hard, guitar driven songs with biting, and sometimes strange vocals from Harri Saksala. Clusters of progressivness can be found everywhere when the band ends the LP with an aggressive Polka or when some songs begin relaxed and melodic, just to get loud again after two minutes. It seems that this was not the way Kalevala wanted to go in the first place.

Quite a wild bunch…

This is the first official reissue with the original cover artwork.

ANDERSEN/PLEYM GROUP - HAVE YOUR OWN FEELING, HAVE YOUR OWN WAY

With an edition of only 250 copies, it can be claimed that this record is probably the rarest private press out of Norway (and the most unknown). The Andersen/Pleym-Group was basically a duo which recorded their sole album in their local school with the support of some friends. This introduction might suggest that you have to expect another record of well known cover-versions but this is definitely not the case since all featured songs are original compositions by the group. And great songs they are…melodic and natural, with a Singer/Songwriter-touch but with full instrumentation including organ, guitar and drums, bearing a strong Beatles-flavour. All the songs have been carefully remastered in order to leave the authentic feel and spirit.

This reissue comes with 3 Bonustracks plus two inserts, one being a reproduction of the original booklet.

Released in 1972, Haikara’s very rare debut album can still be considered as one of the most innovative and fascinating albums out of Finland.

Excellent musicianship and composing skills culminate in five long songs, covering dark Progressive-Folk-Rock and Progressive-Jazz in a very competent and skillful way; sometimes even in one song. It’s hard to provide comparisons with other bands and not just because they sing in their native language. But loosely mentioning the keywords ‘Canterbury Scene’, ‘IF’ and ‘Van der Graaf Generator’ with patches of Folk will get you closer, but still not near enough. But one thing is for sure: the listener will be impressed !

This is the first offical reissue on vinyl, complete with the even rarer insert.

SOLD OUT

One of the rarest LPs from the exclusive Mushroom-Label finally gets its official release on Vinyl! Often labeled as Folk, Simon Finn’s debut album from 1970 is actually more in the singer/songwriter vein but totally different to everything else you can find in this genre. With a couple of guest musicians (e.g. Kenny Elliot from Second Hand) Simon Finn created ten songs of an eerie, angry, unsettling and, if you hear the track Jerusalem, even disturbing nature.

Shortly withdrawn after its release, this demanding album is nearly impossible to find these days so finally here is your chance to listen to this fascinating music.

SOLD OUT

Along with Aunt Mary, Junipher Greene and Terje Ripdal, SAFT were also a well known group who were part of the growing norwegian music scene in the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s.

Their rare debut album, released in 1971 on Polydor, is a great mixture of beatlesque songs, garnished with some progressive pieces and touches of folk. You really can feel the enthusiasm of the band to create a long lasting experience for their listeners throughout the entire album... and they did a great job because every track is a brilliant musical journey on its own.

This official reissue comes in an original gatefold cover reproduction, insert and with one impressive Bonustrack: A 10 Minutes Freak-Out rendition of ‚Paint it Black‘ !

SOLD OUT

This Progressive classic from Australia gets its long awaited Vinyl-Release at last.

Momento is the band’s second album from 1972 and they delivered us a really fascinating work. Most of the long songs create a moody but laid-back atmosphere and they are going hand in hand with more powerful tracks like The Gift, where Peter Walker demonstrates a bit of strong guitar playing.

Three non-album songs from their rare singles are added as Bonustracks. In contrast to the album these tracks are hard, loud and aggressive, including an impressive cover of Deep Purple’s Bloodsucker and Bakery’s minor hit single No Dying in the Dark.

SOLD OUT

Hailing from New Zealand, Lutha’s debut album from 1972 is a colourful bag of short, crisp and extremly well-crafted songs !

All songs on this Reissue have been taken from the Mastertapes and sound by far better than on the original LP.

Please note that this is a 300 Edition only !

SOLD OUT

Rated as "the best Rock Album ever produced in Australia" by the local press, it's about time that this album can reach a wider audience after 35 years.

Mayfair Music is very proud to present Levi Smith's Clef's superb album 'Empty Monkey'. This group played a dynamic Progressive Rock with a heavy organ and riffing guitars. But what makes this album really outstanding is the roaring Soul-voice of the band's founder Barrie "The Bear" McAskill !

As we had the full support of Barrie during this project a lot of unreleased material popped up, including a test pressing of the first recording session. The songs on the album were re-recorded versions, making the First Session-Tracks a special treat because they sound much rawer and full of sweat !

Due to the vast amount of additional tracks we decided to release this as a Double - LP in the original Gatefold Cover.

At the time this album was released, this band from Rome already vanished from the music scene for two reasons: 1) Even though the album songs were already recorded in 1970, there was no support from the label to promote the album or the singles. 2) Before frustration got even worse, some members were drawn for military service.

But before they left, they gave us this record with its distinctive clothesline-cover and a couple of Singles, two tracks of them featured here as Bonustracks. Alas, a later reunion of the band failed...

6 long tracks, great musicianship with keyboards and guitar, moody and dark songwriting...all these ingredients make this album one of Italia's finest pieces of Progressive Music.

SOLD OUT

One might be misled by the album's title because this is not a live-album ! Instead it's a great piece of German Underground Psychedelic-Rock with lots of fuzzy guitars, a swirling keyboard and freaked-out songwriting.

The band originally hailed from Munich, started as the Beat-Combo TBC Ltd. with a slightly different line-up, changed its name to SUB and recorded the tracks on this album in 1969. As usual, it was very difficult to find a record label willing enough to release this album and because of some strange circumstances, the record was finally released on the italian Help!-Label without the band's full knowledge.

Due to the fact that Help! was a very small label, the record was produced in a small quantity and is nowadays very hard to find (and even harder to find in a good condition). Therefore, this album is one of the rarest german records!

This official reissue comes with 2 Bonustracks: An alternative (and longer version) of the track 'Off' and a furious version of Steve Winwood's 'I'm A Man'....It's unbelivable that this highlight never made it on the original album !!!
