In 2011 they joined forces combining a shared passion for full-tilt boogie, psychedelic rock and progressive blues.Along with drummer Warren Hall who previously played with The Drones and bass player Stu Loasby DATURA4 have been steadily building a reputation in their hometown with their live performances. With a healthy nod to Early ’70’s Australian Psych/Blues/Boogie from the likes of Buffalo, Coloured Balls, The Aztecs and latter era Masters Apprentices, “Demon Blues” represents Mariani & Hitchcock’s love of hard hitting bell-bottom blues.

HARRY, DEBORAH- By Kathay Che- Hardcover - VG+ Written with Deborah Harry's co-operation Platinum Blonde was the first portrait of the original Rock Goddess. With her unapologetic sexuality and perfectly aggressive pop, Ms Harry has remained a lasting icon of cool, synonymous with New York City attitude and the intersecting worlds of punk, rock, rap, art, film and fashion. Though a mainstream pop star, Deborah was never predictable. Her punk sensibilities, her roots in bohemian, alternative culture and her friendships with controversial artists such as William Burroughs and Andy Warhol set her apart from the archetypal sex symbol and pin-up girl. As bold and uncensored as the women herself, this quirky, broad sweeping biography, filled with new insights from Deborah, her friends, family and peers, is seeped in the vitality of down town New York and spiked with anecdotes of a maverick musician at large in a world of fame.

YESTERDAY- The Unauthorized Bio of Paul McCartney-Label:Chet Flippo HARDCOVER Formerly belonged to Greg Shaw, from our archives! Formerly belonged to Greg Shaw, from our archives! Probably given to him by the author, Chet Flippo, altho it is not signed.Described by his biographer (rock journalist and author of Hank Williams and On the Road with the Rolling Stones ) as the most successful songwriter in history and one of the richest men in the world, Paul McCartney lives out of the public eye with his wife and four children on farms in England and Scotland. Flippo capably retells the familiar story of the Beatles and includes hitherto unpublished recollections by John Lennon, but only a sparse last sixth of the text is about McCartney's separate career. He continues to write songs, we're told, but many are unfinished because of his "increasing lack of discipline" and because he spends much time raising sheep and chickens, buying publishing rights to songs and musicals and, in turn, selling some of them to Michael Jackson.

BUFFALO KILLERS- FIREBALL OF SULK - Label:SUN PEDAL "Once upon a time, a rock band worth its salt would cut at least one album every year, maybe more, and the Buffalo Killers are one of the few 21st century acts who seem to think that's a tradition worth upholding. After releasing Ohio Grass in the summer of 2013 and Heavy Reverie in the spring of 2014, the band came back with a six-song EP in the waning months of 2014, and Fireball of Sulk hardly sounds like it came from a band whose members are stretching themselves too thin. As is the Buffalo Killers' habit, Fireball of Sulk sounds as if it could have passed through a wormhole in time from the late '60s or early '70s, and this is one band that has the boogie and the big amps to raise up these sounds without sounding as if they're just recycling stuff from LPs they got at the swap meet. While the band's core sound still recalls the crossbred spawn of the James Gang and Crazy Horse, the addition of Sven Kahns on guitar has beefed up Andrew Gabbard's already muscular tone, and Kahns' occasional steel guitar riffs add a rootsy touch that fits the songs well, while bassist Zachary Gabbard and drummer Joseph Sebaali can lay down a thick, Brontosaurus groove all night without breaking a sweat. And from the shifting tempos of "Something Else" to the twangy roar of "Don't Cry to Me" and the vaguely psychedelic sway of "Blankets on the Sun," the Buffalo Killers can write songs that suit their aged-in-barrel sound as well as any vintage material. Between 1968 and 1971, Blue Cheer cut six albums in four years; if there's any band at work in 2014 that could work the quality/quantity formula that well, it's most likely the Buffalo Killers, and Fireball of Sulk shows they're not slowing down or losing their touch." - Review by Mark Deming/All Music LP $10 SKU:17286

MICHAEL ANGELO - DBL CD w S/T" (Guinn Sessions) + "Sorcerer's Dream" + "Nuts" -Label:LION Stunning work from Michael Angelo – a little-known singer/songwriter from the Kansas City scene of the late 70s – one with a style that's totally great, but way too off the era's chronological expectations to get much notice at the time! Michael's music has a real late 60s vibe – some of the trippier folk modes of someone like Donovan, but mixed with the more complete songwriting of an artist like Nilsson or some of the hipper LA writers of the late 60s – all recorded in this laidback, understated way – especially for the 70s – with acoustic guitar most strongly in the mix, and a few other light rhythm touches and keyboards. The production's sharper than folk, but not much more so – and the music here is a great reminder that while we can look at the rock and roll timeline, and think that the punk explosion of the mid 70s was changing everything at once – out in the hinterlands there were still folks like Angelo who were dedicated to refining an older craft. The CD features a huge amount of material – the full original self-titled album, more tracks from those sessions, and a full second album recorded around the same time. 32 tracks on 2CDs, with lots of notes too – and titles that include "Field Of Lonely Eyes", "Future", "Journey To Find Who We Are", "Russian Lament", "Nubian Queen", "This Is The Night", "Love Is Too High", "Spirits Of Mercury", and "SOS Titanic CD $15 SKU:16805

NERVES - One Way Ticket FIRST PRESSING AUTOGRAPHED BE JACK LEE -LAST COPIES ON YELLOW VINYL! - Label:ALIVE "Their bare, skeletal sound made every lick seem memorable. They excelled in energy. People compared them to the early Beatles or the Dave Clark Five." - Kenneth Funsten. Formed in 1975 by guitarist JACK LEE, bassist PETER CASE, and drummer PAUL COLLINS, the Nerves are one of the most influential garage/punk pop outfits to come out of the mid-70's LA scene, and certainly one of the least documented... until now. Mostly remembered for their classic "Hanging On The Telephone," a Jack Lee composition which has been covered over the years by a myriad of artists from BLONDIE to L7 to CAT POWER, the Nerves were above all a high energy rock'n'roll band with all three members composing and singing. Playing fast, ear-catching garage pop songs, sometimes wearing matching suits, the trio had more than a bit of the stripped down street energy of the Los Angeles's early punk movement. They shared the stage with the Ramones and Mink Deville during their infamous US "Magical Blistering Tour," played the Punk Palace and the legendary Masque in Hollywood, and headlined shows with the Avengers, the Zeros, The Dils, The Screamers and Shock, to name just a few. After the band's break-up in 1978, Peter Case and Paul Collins formed The BREAKAWAYS, and later went on to front the legendary PLIMSOULS and The BEAT, respectively. Following the success of "Hanging On the Telephone," JACK LEE has mostly focused on his songwriting career, releasing an album in 1981. Both Peter and Paul are still recording and touring. PETER CASE's latest album "Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John" (Yeproc 2007) was nominated for a Grammy. This collection, authorized for the first time ever by the three band members, features their 1976 EP (now regarded as a power pop classic), as well as demos and previously unreleased live recordings, REMASTERED and complete with notes and photos LP $25 SKU:9037

NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE- The Adventures of Panama Red-Label:REAL GONE MUSIC If there was ever any doubt that the New Riders of the Purple Sage were the ultimate hippie country rock band -- and having had Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead as early members meant that there wasn't much -- The Adventures of Panama Red put them to rest. This 1973 album's loosely connected tall tales of drug culture, complete with the album's underground comic book graphics, ensured that this gatefold record was a long-time dorm room favorite for separating out those stems and seeds. But Panama Red (their only gold record) had a lot more going for it than just countercultural kicks -- the band, by now consisting of John Dawson, David Nelson, Dave Torbert, pedal steel ace Buddy Cage and Jefferson Airplane drummer Spencer Dryden -- was much tighter than any outfit this stoned had a right to be, and with songwriting contributions from Peter Rowan (the hit 'Panama Red' and 'Lonesome L.A. Cowboy') and Robert Hunter ('Kick in the Head') as well as from the band's own fine tunesmiths in Dawson and Torbert, the songs were of a uniformly high quality. Production by multi-instrumentalist Norbert Putnam, charts by the Memphis Horns and vocal contributions by Buffy Sainte-Marie and Donna Godchaux helped enshrine this record as one of the finest country-rock outings of the '70s. Now, Real Gone Music is reissuing this classic album for the first time on vinyl, remastered by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios in NYC and lacquer cut by Kevin Gray, with a limited edition pressing of 1000 in -- what else? -- purple vinyl, with the original gatefold album and inner sleeve graphics (with lyrics) intact.

NEW YORK DOLLS -Live At Radio Luxembourg, Paris 1973-Label:LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) 2014 release. Before punk rock had a name, its name was the New York Dolls. Recorded for a radio broadcast in Paris in December 1973, this is arguably THE best existing live recording of the Dolls in their prime, complete with stage banter, appalling attempts at fake French accents and a whole lot of drug fuelled attitude. It's almost as if you were there, and for those of us who weren't, this is definitely the next best thing. In addition to thrashing through their "hits," the Dolls revealed their roots in covers of Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, and New York's original bad girls, the Shangri-Las.

produced these superb beat-styled harmony-pop sides for the Tutor brothers. Surprisingly, he didn't see fit to release them until nearly twenty years later. Imagine that!
