AMAZING DOPE TALES - VERY RARE 1967 ZINE PUBLISHED BY GREG SHAW! Excellent CONDITION. Label:GREG SHAW This very early underground is a magazine-size comic published by Greg Shaw out of San Francisco in 1967. This prescient comic was written and illustrated by Geoff Evans, a university science student and amateur film maker (who was never heard from in comic books again). Amazing Dope Tales conveys the psychedelic story of Walter Echo, a goateed hippie straight out of Haight-Ashbury. Echo is subjected to a series of drug experiments, including 20 grams of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), which is about 30 times more than an average recommended dose. Mind you, this is in 1967, so the DMT at that time would have been culled from Amazonian plants (it is made synthetically today). DMT wasn't even made illegal in the U.S. until 1970. In any case, ingesting 20 grams of DMT is a recipe for disaster. But not for Walter Echo. Echo experiences a variety of humorous psychedelic trips throughout the book, including guest appearances by Charlie Brown and Dagwood Bumstead.Amazing Dope Tales is not a particularly great comic nor especially funny, though it does have amusing passages in its quick-reading 24 pages. But it is definitely important because it pre-dates Plymell's Zap Comix #1 by about a year and is almost certainly the first comic book in history that overtly celebrates the use of hallucinogenic drugs. It's also one of the very first commerical underground comic books; a book clearly published for retail sale, not just distribution to a group of friends or on a college campus, but for the entire San Francisco area and beyond (as evidenced by the cover prices). I believe it even pre-dates the Summer of Love in '67, which would indicate that Shaw and Evans (who was actually not a bad cartoonist) were no Johnny-come-latelys to the San Francisco hippie scene. For those reasons, this comic book is probably still undervalued. BOOKS & MAGS $75 SKU:26757

BANG BANG BAND GIRL- 12 SUPER DUPER EXTRAORDINARY -Label:SULATRON ...TROUBLE ROCK'N'ROLL TRACKS'- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to violence, the artistic violence, emotional power, sensuality and limitless strength... Welcome to the world of Bang Bang Band Girl the almighty one lady band who composes and re-composes, plays, sings and produces this fabulous album. Born in Chile then lived all over the globe and now settled down in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. A real sonic masterpiece, the album plays like a jukebox with terrific hits of our Bang Bang Band Girl. A wild spaced out wall of fuzz, theremin, reverberation, feedback and a warm dangerous yet sweet voice brings you the hits of The Troggs ('Wild Thing'), Wanda Jackson ('Funnel Of (Trash) Love'), Hasil Adkins ('No More Hot Dogs'), Nancy Sinatra ('Bang Bang'), Motörhead ('The Watcher'), The Drifters ('Up On The Roof'), Dave Diddle Day ('Blue Moon Baby'), The Heartbreakers ('All By My Self'), Elvis Presley ('Heartbreak Hotel'), The Cramps ('Call Of The Wighat'), all recorded and played by herself in Rotterdam or Lima, Peru except Walter Daniels (Daddy Long Legs, Oblivians, John Schooley etc.) plays saxophone in 'Blue Moon Baby' and theremin by Veronik in 'Heartbreak Hotel' we can only stand up and stomp our feet and applaud loudly and toss another coin on the jukebox just to dance in the depths of the night.

BILLY BOND Y LA PESADA- VOL 1 and 2 & Rocks Blues Rocks Rocks (heavy psych 1972) - Label:CLOUD FOREST A wildly eclectic brew of driving heaviness, looser trippiness, and even some delicate moments from Billy Bond -- a more freewheeling and ambitious mix of post psychedelic wildness from Brazil's Billy Bond & co! Volume 3 from 1972 is made up of 2 lengthy suites, " Lado 1 -- Acustico" and "Lado 2 -- Eectrica Camplementaria". The former is surprisingly lean in spots, with some folky psychedelia in the blender. The latter is full of abrupt, dramatic stop-start dynamics. Volume 4 from '73 includes "No Nos Paran Mas", "Hacia Algun Lugar", Gracias Al Cielo", "Estamos Hartos", "Ano 1939", "Algo Esta Por Suceder" and more. This one is more of a wild and wooly rock & roll set, and a deliciously unpredictable one! CD $8 SKU:18947

JEREMY DORMOUSE - The Toad Recordings (Legendary Canadian hippie psych rarity from 1967-68 w liners & original cover art) -Label:VOID/HALLUCINATIONS (USA) Legendary Canadian psych rarity from 1967-68 — one of the hardest to find collectable albums there is. Dormouse (aka Cris Cuddy) had previously been with a late sixties folk outfit, The Rejects, who also put out an ultra-rare privately-pressed album. He is supported by a range of backing musicians on this incredibly rare privately-pressed album, which was housed in a beautiful silk-screen sleeve. There are interesting interpretations of Dylan's 'Baby Blue' and Bo Diddley's 'Who Do You Love', but the highlights of this superb album are the vocals of Reign Ghosts' Linda Squires on 'High Flying Bird' and Leonard Cohen's ‘Suzanne.’ "While playing with Gullison, vocalist Lynda Squires and bassists David McKay and Nick Corneal, the concept of the Jeremy Dormouse LP arose and led to the living room sessions with Mike Clancy from another rare band, Hyde, engineering while the Waddington/Cragg/Tapscott songs were recorded at the university language lab by Peter Northrop."

ROTOMAGUS - The Sky Turns Red: Complete Anthology(1971 protopunk) Label:LION On Julian Cope’s excellent Head Heritage web-site, the Seth Man raves about Rotomagus thus: “The first time I heard this track (‘Fighting C*ck’), I did not freak out. I merely walked into a nearby closet and screamed my head off for a minute solid, beat the floor and ripped my t-shirt... then I cowered when it hit me: this thing came out in 1971? Before “Raw Power”?! I just lost my mind... The only thing that predates this monster in terms of being a full-on amassing of all things heavy are all the many key points on Sir Lord Baltimore’s “Kingdom Come” LP and THAT’S it, brother. Hard to believe this is all pre-1971, as much of the demo is not just proto punk but proto hardc*re—with enough fiery attitude to make you want to scream along. The vocals are wild, while the guitar riffs and grinds and approaches a Stooges via Motorhead apocalyptic grandeur. Amazing! CD $10 SKU:14512
SANDROSE - ST (70s French prog classic - Label:LION Reissue of what arguably is the best progressive record ever to emerge from France.

ST. THOMAS PEPPER SMELTER - Soul & Pepper mini slv replica (Peruvian 60s psych freakbeat )- Label:LION PRODUCTIONS (USA) & REPSYCHLED RECORDS (Peru) The first official reissue of this much-bootlegged classic South American psychedelic freakbeat album, recorded in 1969 by Peruvian band The (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter. Perhaps the story of the band is not well known, but their achievements were great—and international: editions of their sole LP were produced in Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Ecuador, and 45rpm singles were published in Mexico and Greece. St. Thomas Pepper Smelter was formed by Gerardo Manuel Rojas on vocals and tambourine, Beto Tataje on rhythm guitar and lead guitar, Juan Carlos Barreda on bass and vocals, Carlos Manuel Barreda on drums and backing vocals (all from the famous group Los Shains), and Freddy Macedo on keyboards. Their first single was a cover of ‘Purple Haze’ b/w one of their own compositions, ‘A New Summer.’ The band then began to record their only LP. That album contains twelve tracks—six written by the band, and the other half cover versions. The band's music could be described as freak beat; in many ways, it is a preview of the garage /surf style of Los Shain's, heading towards the heavy psychedelic rock of Gerardo Manuel & El Humo. At the time, St. Thomas Pepper Smelter simply called it “underground music.” Gerardo’s voice is soft in the band’s own songs, and aggressive on the cover tunes; his guitar style oozes fuzz. The foundation of bass and drums by the brothers Barreda is very powerful and strong; and the songs benefit from the layers of keyboard played by Freddy Macedo. This fully licensed, hand-numbered, limited edition CD release comes in a mini-LP sleeve replica of the original album art; it also comes with a replica of an original poster; a replica of an original color photo of the band. More importantly, it includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks exclusive to this edition. Carefully remastered from the original master tapes and released in this limited edition of 400 copies, available exclusively worldwide from Lion Productions. CD $10 SKU:14479
SUN ALSO RISES - ST (Superb 70s Brit acid psych folk) Label:LION Superb sought-after 1970 British acid folk rarity from the Village Thing label. The Sun Also Rises is another case of a folk/psych duo (we’re thinking of Emtidi, whose “Saat” album we have also reissued) who virtually disappeared in the flesh, once they had left behind a small but fascinating recorded legacy. The sole Sun Also Rises album has been reissued (legally and illegally) on several occasions, a testament to continuing interest in the music contained therein. Who were they? They were Graham and Anne Hemingway from Cardiff, described everywhere as a mystical, magical hippie female and male folk duo, who played guitars, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, bells, kazoo, percussion—joined throughout by label-mate John Turner (bowed and finger-picked string bass), and Andy Leggett. Their one and only album is very much in the creative style and delivery of the Incredible String Band, with similarities to the work of their contemporaries Dr. Strangely Strange, COB, Comus, Forest and Tir Na Nog, as well as others of the original freak-folk brigade. The results of their efforts were tripped-out, spellbinding, esoteric folk collages—songs of wizards and dragons, dreams and intentions, love, flickering candlelight, the sweet scent of half-remembered summers, death, jasmine, and suicide. We hope that this album will come as a wonderful surprise for lovers of the Incredible String Band and their ilk, as there were few bands that were able to stray into this much loved and much loathed world of fantasy and folk music, and live to tell the tale. Our Lion Productions edition comes with a 16-page booklet printed on FSC recycled, chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer fiber paper manufactured using biogas energy, which contains a small dose of band info, album lyrics, histories of the Village Thing and Saydisc labels by co-founder Gef Lucena, as well as a Village Thing label discography.

Amazingly, Audio Archives now present unique material from Rob Halford's first ever official Priest concert and even more staggeringly, the last Priest gig with original singer Al Atkins and drummer Chris Congo Campbell from April 1973. The lengthy composition 'Morpheus' is one of Atkins' finest moments. 'Red Light Lady' plus two other songs showcase the impactful, yet nervous arrival of Halford during that crucial crossover period. Truly significant recordings of huge appeal to all Priest fans. Other bands featured are Hackensack who deliver a fierce medley to kick things off plus Welsh heavies Budgie and the primordial Albert Monk with a deranged vocalist and a brutal, bass heavy style of 1970. An 80 minute onslaught of undiluted downer-rock from quarter inch masters of excellent sound quality throughout. COMP CD $16 SKU:21275
