JSngry Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Classical Rock Blues Psychedelia ( 60 - 70 ) seems to sum it all up from what I see, with a strong emphasis on "cult" items and bands. Not my strong suit, but if you're into this kind of stuff, Blue Cheer is a safe bet, especially VINCEBUS ERUPTUS. Count Five is a tad earlier, but fun, "garage band" tyoe stuff. Lots of these bands, like Ultimate Spinach, Beacon Street Union, etc., I've heard about over the years, but never actually heard. Others, like Frigid Pink and Canned Heat, I've herad but don't really have any enthsiasm for. Nitzinger, otoh, I've not only actually heard of, but I actually worked with him briefly once upon a time. Very guitar-heavy music, totally rock, but with an interesting twist or two along the way. Just noticed an album in there by Chris McGregor & the Brotherhood Of Breath. from a jazz standpoint, that's your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Hi porcy - only 17 years late in responding to your question but I came across one of their Keith Tippett LP reissues today and was able to have a listen in-shop. Sleeve quality and reproduction excellent. The 180g LP sonics sounded very thin and lacking in dynamics - my guess is needle drop. There are some negative threads concerning this label on Hofmann so I would be inclined to avoid unless you are desperate.
