Kjoe Bloes is a four track single with "Nederbeat" style songs all recorded in MONO by Q65 in 1967. "Ain't That Loving You Baby" is a cover written by American blues musician Jimmy Reed, "Rambling On My Mind" is a traditional, "No Place To Go" is written by American blues musician Chester Arthur Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf and 80% O is an original written by Q65, all songs are produced by Hans van Hemert.

Q65 was formed in The Hague in 1965 and is often considered one of the more prominent bands associated with the Nederbeat sound that took place in the 60s. To promote one of their singles the band travelled to London. Unfortunately they were denied a work permit and returned (according to their bio but highly-doubted) to The Netherlands in a rubber lifeboat, taking 12 hours to cross the Channel. Upon landing at the Scheveningen Pier, Q65 was greeted by cheering fans who were rewarded with an open-air concert. Between 1966 and 1971, the band recorded four albums, split-up and rejoined (although in a different line-up) for their final and last album in 1997.

This collectable four track 7" is newly remastered for MONO playback and is available for Record Store Day in a limited run of 750 copies on yellow vinyl.

"Jukebox all'Idroscalo" is the first solo album of a versatile artist (singer, poet, screenwriter, documentary maker, composer of soundtracks) that elaborates a 60s Beat sound with a four instruments band: the inseparable Farfisa organ, guitar, bass and drums. The language goes beyond the "quotationism" of the singer-songwriters to become "deconstructive" pop lyric and musical, like an old crazy jukebox. A modern Serge Gainsbourg from Rome.

The Ringers were more than just another typical '60s L.A. garage band among the myriad in that city to be infected with Beatlemania. The fact that they have remained unknown to even some of the most ardent devotees of mid-'60s rock is an injustice that is at last being corrected all these decades down the track. The Ringers' originally released output consisted of just three 45s that were issued between the years of 1964 and 1966, and a Peru-only LP in 1970. The Vinyl LP presents the band´s most significant beat 'n' garage recordings. including four single sides from the mid-'60s and six previously unreleased recordings from the same period.

Vinyl RI of one of the coolest and most sought after 60s garage-trash songs. Originally released in 1967 on the local Zordan Label, the single got famous on Back From The Grave #7, remained the bands only trax-on-wax and fetches prices up to US $ 400 in auctions nowadays. Bill Gradisher (bass, vocals) along with Ed Golisch (lead guitar), Wayne Adams Jr. (drums) and Mike Chevell (guitar) formed the Travel Agency' in 1966. The hits of the day were their regular biz, but Bill had the ambition to write a song that was like 'Louie Louie'- but with cleaner verses. Jailbait' was written in just a few hours and together with Ed Golisch, Bill wrote the B-side, the equally exciting trashrocker Hard Times'. Upon graduation the band split in 1968 and all band-members went their own ways. But even today Jailbait' is one of the coolest and most sought after 60s garage-trash songs dealing with underage sex-lyrics.

The first ever domestic reissue of one of the first ever MC5 singles! Packaged in new space age envelope style sleeves, with rare unseen band photos! The Motor City 5 pressed on black vinyl at Third Man Pressing in the Motor City!!! Includes brand spankin' new liners by David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who says, "This session, at the city's famed United Sound, was soaked in local R&B aura, John Lee Hooker cut his studio debut, 'Boogie Chillen,' there in 1948. 'I Can Only Give You Everything' was in that spirit and faster: a rolling-thunder feature of the MC5's live sets pulled from Van Morrison's 1966 album with Them, Them Again. 'I Just Don't Know' was the band's own bravado, a Bo Diddley-style gallop with a boxer's barrage of power chords."

One of the earliest MC5 singles! Packaged in new envelope style sleeves, with rare unseen band photos! The Motor City 5 pressed on black vinyl at Third Man Pressing in the Motor City! Includes brand spankin' new liners by David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who says, "In a 1966 live recording, the MC5 played 'Looking at You' like Motown raga. At United Sound, the band hit the zigzag riff at light speed and stayed there, framed by searing lead guitar and explosive drumming. 'Borderline' was a frantic jigsaw of power-chord jolts and sheet-like harmonies detonated again, at the Grande, for the live recording of the MC5's first LP, Kick Out the Jams."

The Inner Mystique, the hypnotic second album by the Chocolate Watch Band, takes up exactly where its sacred predecessor left you: looking for your perfect match at the local Love-In. When Watch Band lead singer par excellence Dave Aguilar grabs you by the lapels and tells you "I'm Not Everybody Else," you have no choice but to believe him. He's not. And when he cools down enough to extol the virtues of "Medication," who could doubt his sincerity Especially when he stokes the fires to the boiling-point where medication may not really make much difference. But the real stunner here is the Watch Band's exhilarating cover of Bobby D's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." In typical CWB interpretive bliss, nobody has ever done this hallowed song any better. Not Bob Dylan, not Van Morrison. Nobody.

A San Jose, Calif. band whose reputation has grown exponentially over the decades, the Chocolate Watch Band are now revered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World of garage rock. Spotlighting the classic lineupthe inflammatory vocals of Dave Aguilar and the roof-rattling guitars of Mark Loomis and Sean Tolby, fronting the rock-solid bass of Bill Flores and the letter-perfect drums of Gary Andrijasevichthe Watch Band's first two albums have it all. Stones swagger snake-hips its way through cosmic significance with just a dusting of eye-opening psychedelic legerdemain to make your neck snap backwards in pure joy.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock made musical history with its first single, the infectiously psychedelic "Incense and Peppermints," which topped the singles charts in December 1967. It remains one of the Aquarian Age's most enduring anthems. And as the California combo's debut LP demonstrates, there was a lot more to the Strawberry Alarm Clock than their iconic trademark hit.

Incense and Peppermints combines gorgeously melodic flights with a Sunset Strip sensibility--the album is filled with trippy soundscapes, fuzzy guitars, sophisticated harmonies and the evocative lyrics of tracks such as "The World's on Fire," "Birds in My Tree," "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" and "Paxton's Back Street Carnival." The result is a surprise-filled collection that All Music Guide calls "a strangely compelling mix of psychedelia, sunshine pop, garage rock, and California harmony."

Mastered from the original stereo UNI reels, our vinyl edition features the album's unique original cover art.

These LA scene regulars mined the final year of hippydom to produce this debut LP led by the spiralling, organ-drenched title track--a US Number 1 in 1967.RB"

Just when you think you know all about the late 60's/early70's scenes on the planet, along comes the second volume of the mind-broadening Working-Class Devils series to deliver unbelievable cuts and bands. The faves from volume 1 are all there including Krzysztof Klenczon & Trzy Korony's another prime freakbeat/psych fuzz rocker, Zdrój Jana's trademark proto no-wave skronky-guitar weirdness or Niebiesko-Czarni horsing around again with a distortion pedal. The newcomers Wislanie and Lancety take no prisoners with their crude US-style garage punk while Piotr Pastor & Slonce and Wislanie 69 reveal more folk/hippie leanings thrown in for good measure, there's even a Nederbeat gem that... turns out to be Polish and many, many more. These sides no doubt make for the ultimate in what could be tolerated in an Eastern Bloc country during the Cold War. Most of the tracks are excruciatingly obscure recorded during the cold war and then were shelved before excavated here in their juvenile glory. Non of these is re-issued on vinyl to date, which would spare you years of crate-digging. Couple all that with great band pictures and well-researched and exciting English-written liner notes and you have one hell of a disc including songs that could stand proud alongside anything released in the Free World at the time.

Simply Saucer's Cyborgs Revisited is an explosive time capsule from one of the great Canadian cult rock 'n' roll groups. Formed in Hamilton, Ontario, these sci-fried proto-punks created a sound fusing Hawkwind, The Kinks, Pink Fairies, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, and the omnipresent Velvet Underground. Originally recorded from 1974-1975, the album became a critically revered classic when it was finally unearthed in 1989 by Mole Records. Now, In The Red is proud to release the definitive, remastered double album edition featuring new liner notes by band biographer Jesse Locke, unseen images, and the complete live recordings available as a second album for the first time ever. As a means to escape his oppressive experiences while living in a practice space surrounded by biker gangs, singer and fretboardshredding guitarist Edgar Breau wrote a set of songs filled with dystopian visions of the future, conjuring metalloid thugs, Eva Braun's cyanide love affair, and dancing the mutation.' With nimble-fingered bassist Kevin Christoff, clatterwauling drummer Neil DeMerchant, and electronic cosmonaut John Ping Romany' LaPlante (Breau's foster brother and answer to Pere Ubu's Allen Ravenstine), his lyrics were launched into a sonic supernova. Their first recording session took place in the basement of brothers Bob and future superstar producer Daniel Lanois and was initially intended as a demo. Naturally, interest was non-existent for the sneering six-song set. It's shocking how anyone could have overlooked Bullet Proof Nothing,' an undeniably catchy VU-swiping anthem for the used, abused, and confused. Shelving these sessions, the band ascended into the future with 15-year-old drummer Tony Cutaia. This set off a series of gigs before the band touched down on the roof of a local shopping center! Following their 2006 reformation, Simply Saucer continue to tour and perform to ecstatic fans while being celebrated with a belated wave of releases, reissues, and documentation, including a rarities compilation, Jesse Locke's book Heavy Metalloid Music: The Story of Simply Saucer (Eternal Cavalier Press), and an upcoming 7-inch. At long lost and at the top of this towering stack, In The Red's expanded reissue of Cyborgs Revisited gives the Canadian cult classic the deluxe treatment it so greatly deserves.

Having become something of a cult favourite in their hometown for their raucous live shows, Too Many Things To Hide is the long-awaited debut LP from Birmingham, UK quartet Swampmeat Family Band, which includes members Low Cut Connie, PWEI, Bentley Rhythm Ace, The Castillians, Terror Watts etc. Combining their inner '70s country soul and glam pop with more traditional heartbreak laments the quartet's created a lasting collection of tracks that resides somewhere in the realm between Americana and garage rock, and Too Many Things to Hide is set to be released on March 23 via the Stockholm based indie label PNKSLM Recordings.

Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present the debut album from London based Chemtrails. Founded/fronted by romantic and musical partners Mia Lust and Laura Orlova, they make catchy, fuzzy, lo-fi pop music, somewhere between The Pixies, Black Lips and Blondie, with lyrics that are surreal yet earnestly meaningful. Chemtrails made their debut in September 2016 with the single 'Aeons', and have since released two EPs.
The first, Love in Toxic Wasteland, tells stories of savagery and spirituality in a post-apocalyptic world, with melodic songs built out ofraw, heavy guitars and dreamy, reverb-soaked Farfisa body. The second EP, Headless Pin Up Girl, has a more pop-up feel to it, with Mia Lust's lyrics getting deeply personal as she openly reflects on her place in the world as a transgender woman.
The debut LP sees the band exploring wider territoryy and includes some their most unusual psychedelic power-pop songs
yet, as well as their heaviest, most aggressive garage rock numbers

The 'Furies ' are the ancient Greek Gods of vengeance and violence,' says Mark Ryan of the title of his latest album. The Furies were tamed,' he continues, but in my story, they are waking up and the ancient chaotic ways are resurfacing.'Ryan (The Marked Men,High Tension Wires,Radioactivity ), alongside Peter Salisbury (Baptist Generals) on synth and Mike Throneberry (The Marked Men) on drums, lead this modernistic, machine-like and cinematic version of the story of the Furies and have churned out something furious in return, this is their most electronic album yet . Gone are any notions of Ryan's former project the Marked Men and its style of winningly bombastic garage-pop. Since 2012's Meltdown Mind Spiders have been perfecting an aggressive, relentless,
frenetic and melodic style of punk that is a long, dark shadow of DEVO but carries something much more sinister in its jaws as it slinks its way through the ears, illustrated by their lone, intensified cover of Grauzone's 1980 hit, Eisbaer.' It's a sound for the new dark ages , emboldened by urgency and sped along by some good old fashioned panic.

This release features the much talked about radio show of summer of 1984 that featured Lux Interior playing his favorites and obscure-sets 7" records while howling, buzzing and raving
about them.

It includes such classic and influential stuff like THE FRANTICS, SPARKLES, LINK WRAY, BILLY STRANGE, MAD MIKE AND THE MANIACS, VIC MIZZY, ONE WAY STREETS, SWAMP RATS... DEADLY ONES, THE TROGGS and many more (up to a total of 28 tracks!)... Absolutely entertaining and instructional especially by Lux' comments/noises between tracks.

The gatefold sleeve artwork has been specially designed by Lindsay Hutton (Next Big Thing and President of the Legion of The Cramped - The Cramps Fan Club).

Following a string of highly acclaimed releases, Delights is stepping into the new year with an introduction of a new sister label - MonaTone. Established by the studio maverick Uri "Mixmonster" Wertheim (Radio Trip/The Apples/Kalbata & Mixmonster), this new imprint aims to provide a warm home for way-out fuzz-centric music coming from the rock'n'roll side of the psychedelic spectrum.

The label's debut release is a result of collaboration between Mixmonster and the Jerusalem-based power trio The Turbans: psychedelic stomper "Baba Ganooz" on the A-side, backed with Bo Diddley-style tittyshaker "Lost My Mind" on the flip.


Recommended for fans of late 60's garage and freakbeat.

"Times To Come" will see the light of day. It will be the third record of Duesseldorf based LOVE MACHINE.
It's their first collaboration with Unique Records.

In times of emerging cold and fear LOVE MACHINE preach the joy of love . Their new record is an indirect witness of the last moving years that have been passed since the release of LOVE MACHINE's last record.
"Times To Come" shows the band's unbound lust to play and their deep believe in the power of eternal groove.
Folk Rock and Rock'n'Roll influences connect with contemporary Psychedelia, harmonic vocals and slide guitars meet up with analog synthesizers and Voodoo percussion. All that parts melt to a sweaty, mind-opening cocktail of Americana and Kraut Rock.
Pushed be the "beardiest" rhythm section of our time and finalized by two guitar's great love story, LOVE MACHINE offer nothing less than salvation.
Singer Marcel Rösche is the shaman, the maniac and visionary, enthroning above everything and being beyond any doubt.
Rösche's vocals are supported by the harmonies of Bonn based weird Folk duo The Mañana People.
With the release of pre-album "CIRCLES" in spring 2016 LOVE MACHINE established their status as the hottest must-see in German underground.
The video of the single "Sun Paradox" is rotating on MTV Germany, legendary Klaus Fiehe calls the album "craziest shit" and his new favourite German album of 2016.
Followed up by endless touring all over Germany and performances on festivals such as Copenhagen Psych Fest, Open Source, c/o Pop or Burg Herzberg as well as supporting acts like von Kikagaku Moyo, Acid Mothers Temple, Boris and The Flying Eyes.

But the LOVE MACHINE is not satisfied with spreading the love only on the German territory. Also France, England, Denmark, Switzerland and Poland have already been in the machinery of love.
And LOVE MACHINE won't rest until every human being has tasted the pulp of love and peace.

The very first recordings by the BLEU FOREST happened after they played a show at the "Hey You Coffeehouse" in Ventura, CA. Jimmie Haskell decided to have them come to Hollywood and record on the spot at his place. His intention was to capture how the band sounded live, and this is what you get in Ichiban: Two mics, the band, a recording machine, no retakes, spontaneity and raw energy, a time-capsule direct From Jimmie's place in 1967. The sound and the style reminiscent of what was happening in San Francisco around 1966/1967 is captured in these recordings. ichiban mirros the pinnacle days at Haight-Ashbury, echoes of the summer of love, "Turn on, tune in, drop out"!
