Rockius Of Levitatum
180g lp to fully understand and appreciate a band like the 13th floor elevators, one had to see them play live, preferably more than once—the reason being that no two elevators shows were ever alike, ranging from brilliantly euphoric to unbelievably catastrophic. of course, the unevenness of their performances was due to one small but powerful thing called lsd…which the band took in copious amounts prior to each show (often charitably passing it out to members of the audience as well). for the elevators this was a way of life…for which they (particularly lead singer and guitarist roky erickson) would notoriously soon pay. this collection of live tracks gives those of us who weren’t there during those halcyon days of psychedelia, a taste of just what lofty heights (and hellish depths) the elevators were capable of reaching. the performances are taken from three sources: “roller coaster”, “you’re gonna miss me” and “tried to hide” from a rockin’ appearance on a local dallas / ft. worth television show in the spring of 1966, “don’t fall down”, “kingdom of heaven”, “she lives in a time of her own” and “i’ve got levitation” from a notoriously shambolic gig in houston in 1967, and the remaining eight tracks from a series of stellar performances at san francisco’s avalon ballroom in autumn of 1966. track listing – side a : 1. roller coaster 2. you`re gonna miss me 3. before you accuse me 4. tried to hide 5. don`t fall down 6. the word 7. i`m gonna love you too 8. you don`t know side b : 1 everybody needs somebody to love 2. splash 1 3. monkey island 4. kingdom of heaven 5. fire engine 6. she lives in a time of her own 7. i`ve got levitation .

3 Hur El
one of the very few, if not the only one, turkish groups not doing any covers but only self-penned compositions, the mighty 3 hür-el were three brothers: onur, haldun and feridun hürel. having played together for their whole life, it was in the late 60`s when they took the 3 hür-el name, and they released two wonderful albums that we`re now making available for you vinyl freaks. this one`s their debut, originally released in 1972. a brilliant set of turkish ethno-influenced folk-rock tracks with a psychedelic feel, some great electric guitar and fantastic eastern percussion. a very rare album now available again, with mastertape sound and coming with an insert, with liners and photos. .

their second longplayer which came out in 1976 also on diskötur, this is an absolutely killer of an album and easily one of the top turkish ones. it has a more western feel..feridun was here infected by fuzzvirus and his two-arm guitar (onefor guitar, one for saz) will give you no rest. also there`s much more drums than percussion now, so we get an astounding blend of psychedelic rock with turkish tradition, plenty of distorted fuzz guitar and electric saz. comes with an insert, with liners and photos. .

3 Pieces

Vibes Of Thruth
"vibes of truth" is a masterpiece that covers all the bases: from soul through funk to jazz. it`s been sought-after by collectors for the three club friendly tunes within its grooves: acked up against the wall`, concrete jungle` and need you girl`. the album was brought to fantasy by donald byrd who was enjoying great success with his his productions for the blackbyrds for them and his own jazz fusion albums on blue note. the blackbyrds were former students of his from the ethnomusicology course he taught at washington`s howard university just as was lincoln ross, the multi-instrumentalist leader of the 3 pieces. although the 3 pieces failed to repeat the success of the blackbyrds they created an amazing album. .

4 Instants

Discotheque
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! .

Abacus

Just A Day's Journey Away
abacus is surely a big name for everyone interested in rock music. the band formed in 1971 made their breakthrough at the germersheim rock festival, where abacus drew not less applause from the 300,000 visitors than pink floyd, santana or elp which appeared on stage as well. in the following abacus published 4 lps, of which the last 3 where recorded at giorgio moroder`s "musicland". because of the global record sales, numerous national and international tours, tv and radio shows abacus became a top act not only in germany. abacus delivered the same dense sound on stage as in the studio. maybe that`s why they became a crowd puller for countless shows. musical differences about future record productions were among other things responsible for the break up of the band in 1976. klaus kohlhase, bass guitarist and motor of abacus revived the band in 1979. after a long search he found the players who helped to refine the sound of abacus. track listing: side a 1. seasong (7:09) 2. munchen 23 (5:04) 3. hamm spring 71 (3:58) 4. ballad of lucky luke (3:00) side b 5. continued on page 2 col. 6 (5:13) 6. white house may come - white house may go (4:12) 7. what else (9:06) .

Abass Mehrpouya

African Jumbo
abbass mehrpouya was one of irans top sitarists before passing in 1993. having released a series of 7" singles that range from psychedelic, pop and even heavy funk, collectors are pushing one another aside in an attempt to obtain his legendary work. while his psychedelic guitars and flutes have collectors drooling at the mouth, his heavy funk moments can be heard rocking dance floors in clubs across the world. this album, his sole lp release "african jumbo", is both the rarest, and most in demand album from iran, dated sometime in the mid 70s. the 11+ minute track "african jumbo" is not only a masterpiece of psychedelic funk, but is also only available on this sole and impossibly hard to find album. a simply wonderful experience full of beautiful sitars and flutes, while heavy drums, horns and percussion help fill out the wonderful melodies. mehrpouya`s talents weren`t limited to traditional instruments either. he was known to have invented original instruments from bones and other natural materials, while using pots as a replacement for drums. truly a magical album from a legendary artist within iran`s musical history, and one that is near impossible to source as an original. a true holy grail of iranian music for both it`s rarity and content, this release is enriched with a bonus track, taken from a rare cassette. .

Action

Action
1972 + 3 bonus tracks action from zweibruecken were playing organ-dominated progressive hard rock in the tradition of deep purple or the early uriah heep. the ideas and their execution are good; the way the singer tries to imitate ian gillan, however, at times seems somehow artificial. in the summer of 1972, action recorded three tracks for demo purposes at the kerston studio. only in 1997, the recordings by chance caught the attention of the small dortmund label very good records. the label released them as lp together with a live track in an edition of 500 copies on black and 100 copies on green vinyl. at the end of 2008, action reunited for two professionally recorded gigs. the one from 11/22/2008 was now added to the cd as bonus. the tracks from 1972 were drawn from the master tapes. .

Hand Und Fuss
germany 1976 second album of this great german band for the first time re-released on vinyl. the line-up had a little bit changed. drummer wolfgang teske was replaced by lucky schmidt (of wind fame) and due to the addition of violin player christoph krieger the sound was a touch more varied but mostly in the vein of “humanum est”. again great melodies, driving rhythms and lots of space for solos from guitar, sax and flute and in addition from violin. long tracks like their classics “mechelwind” and “elephen elephants” show the bands’ impressive ability to create atmosphere, passion and force. absolutely great stuff. remastered from the original tape, comes with 4 p. insert.

Humanum Est
ger 1974 great first album of near nuremberg (bavaria, germany) based band re-released on vinyl for the first time. after he left famous “ihre kinder”, guitarist muck groh looked for new musicians to play his idea of german progressive rock. with sax- and flute player klaus kreuzeder he found, after a lot of changing line-ups, a congenial partner to create a sound not only in the tradition of bavaria jazz-rock oriented bands like embryo, out of focus, missus beastly etc. but also with that certain krautrock feel, that led the music to an unique style, originating as a highly inventive fusion band with strong percussion, driving rhythms and lots of space for solos from guitar, sax and flute (crack in the cosmic egg). humanum est presented a most proficient instrumental band with a strong identity with multi-tracked guitar-riffing and near ever-present wind solos, a real classic of the genre. long tracks like “papa doing”, demmerawang” “hodibbel” or “sechs-achtel” give an idea what the musicians were able too. while there live-performances – they toured near all the time – they often played hour long versions of their classics to their enthusiastic affiliates (comparable to kraan). remastered from original tape, comes with insert (bandstory/photos).(limited 500 copies) .
