Aquila - Aquila. CD. (Green Tree - TRC 46) Superb jazzy prog-rock from UK five piece Aquila originally released in 1970. Featuring woodwinds and reeds as well as the usual guitar/ bass/ hammond/ drums, this feels at times like Caravan/Soft Machine with a driving feel that recalls Affinity or Fuzzy Duck. Produced by Patrick Campbell-Lyons

Argent - Circus. CD. First time on CD for later-period Argent release, featuring John Verity on guitar and vocals. Excellently played mid-70s UK KOR (Keyboard Orientated Rock) from the former Zombies man and his cohorts, featuring a slight conceptual theme- hence songtitles like 'Trapeze' 'Highwire' 'Clown' 'The Ring' and 'The Jester'.

Baltik - Baltik. CD. At last a re-issue of this 1973 album originally released on CBS.This Norwegian progressive album had bass virtuoso from,John Gustafson (Roxy Music, Quatermass, Ian Gillan Band, Hard Stuff) is now one of the ultimate collectors items for most Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster fans. It starts off quite heavy, then the pace is slowed down with a female vocal/gospel-flavoured ballad , which sets the mood for a few tracks then the disc reverts to quirky, interesting prog rock, which takes a little bit of getting used to - especially if it doesn't grab you from the first listen; give it another chance.

Bent Wind - Sussex. CD. (Green Tree - GTR100) Finally here is a decent edition of the monster Canadian heavy psych ultra rarity from 1969. It's a volcanic dose of intense fuzz guitar and the perfect compliment to the band's sloppy garage ambience and chugging beat. A strange case indeed as the music on Sussex is often overshadowed by the fact that the album is one of the rarest of '60's psychedelic albums. A pity as the music is as psychedelic as they come - a veritable fuzz guitar inferno! CD is housed in a digi pak and includes 5 bonus tracks plus the original artwork.

Birth Control - Backdoor Possibilities ...plus. CD. (Green Tree - GTR 041) Arguably the German bands' creative masterpiece, this concept album first saw the light of day in 1976. Full of multi tracked vocal harmonies and progressive synthesizer work with all the usual forays into jazz and classical thematics, this is German Art Rock at its best. This release also contains 2 extra tracks.

Emergency - Emergency. CD. (Green Tree - GTR631) Reissue of debut by jazzy Prague-based rock band from 1971 originally released on CBS.The album has a feel of Anglo-American jazz rock a la Keef Hartley & Chicago Transit Authority mixed with East European jazz. The group also featured the German musician Udo Lindenberg. Great jazzy cover of Spencer Davis' "Gimme Some Lovin' included- but the standout track is the long jam of "My Woman's Gone".

Emergency - Entrance. CD. (Green Tree - GTR632) 2nd album from 1972 by this jazzy prog band from Prague originally released on CBS in 1972.Jazz spiced progressive sounds feature on this album that contains 5 long tracks.

Frijid Pink - All Pink Inside. CD. (Green Tree - GTR51) Re-issue of 4th album originally released in 1974 and featured their new vocalist Jo Baker who had a great voice and Craig Webb' guitar is still as active as ever.Killer take on Chuck Berry's "School Day" and the killer catchy "Money Man" make this an interesting release and similar at times to bands like Captain Beyond.

Ginhouse - Ginhouse. CD. (Green Tree - GTR12) Debut and sole album from this Newcastle hard blues rock trio. Orginally released in 1971 this album has become a real rarity and collector's item. The album is a solid blues rock album with the one particular stand-out being the continuous track "The House/Sun In A Bottle". A nice reissue from Green Tree which we are most glad exists and this music has not been left to become increasingly obscure.

Hannibal - Hannibal. CD. (Green Tree - GTR 17) Legendary, rare UK psychedelic rock album from the early 70's. Once Clem Clemson left Bakerloo the group stuck together and changed their name to Hannibal and this is their incredibly rare album, and shoot me down with a water pistol if it ain't chock full of horn led progressive, psychedelic rock. It reminds this freak a little of "If" or the "Web" album, and it's just as good. Reissue taken from the original masters, now that's a rarity!!

Mandy Morton - Sea Of Storms / Valley Of Light. CD. (Green Tree - FPR 29003) English / Celtic Folk-Rock gem 2 original recordings on 1 CD:- Sea Of Storms ( 1980)- Valley Of Light (1983).The second of the 2 from 1983 was only released in Denmark. Still with a Celtic folk feel but much more in a Rock vein with a cover version of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love". Digitally remastered

Neil Merryweather - Kryptonite + 8. CD. (Green Tree - GTR057) Re-issue of the US bass wizards 1975 album which is a near pefect hard rock album with amazing fusion-y guitar solos, trippy lyrics, and full on string sections that come on like Black Sabbath's mid 70's period. A guitar players wet dream album!If you're looking for heavy, intelligent rock with a slight blues at the bottom, this is THE album Contains 8 bonus tracks

Peace & Quiet - Peace & Quiet. CD. (Green Tree - GTR 624) Smoking guitar playing accompanies some great hard rock on this 1971 album from the Miami hard psych group. Jerry Goodman guests on violin on one track and the front cover is worth the price of admission alone; mini construction worker taking his drill to someone's teeth anyone?!

Rainbows - Rainbows. CD. (Green Tree - GTR 27) Reissue of this German beat-rarity originally released on CBS in 1966 and as rare as the devils toenails since then. This reissue contains all of the tracks from their singles as bonus material.

Raven - Raven. CD. (Green Tree - GTR619) Digitally remastered reissue of this rare 1969 album by US psych-blues band (New York) Raven who were regular players at Bill Graham's Fillmore East. Features the epic composition "Bad News" and the superb blues rocker opener "Feelin' Good". Good driving underground progressive psyche blues rock.

Siren - Siren. CD. (Green Tree - GTR013) Recorded in 1969 this is Siren's debut album which features the excellent vocal talents of Kevin Coyne (once offered the position of the Doors frontman) This really is an excellent British rock album with a cynical touch, given by Coyne's excellent lyrics. Ecstatically received by Rolling Stone and International Times, and with encouragement from John Peel, Jac Holzman (who released the album on the Elektra label in the USA) took them stateside with their unique British sound. Recommended.

Thunderduk - Thunderduk. CD. (Green Tree - FPR 29002) CD re-issue of a 1974 U.S. release by an obscure US early '70s four piece psych rock band with plenty of guitar and driving powerful songs. Similar to Bubble Puppy, Demian etc.

UFO - UFO 1. CD. (Green Tree - GTR-015) The excellent first album by this British heavy rock band. Originally released in 1971 and featuring some blues influences in evidence and loads of freaked out acid guitar work, the album includes covers of "C'mon Everybody" and "Come Away Melinda" as well as killer originals such as "Timothy". Plus 4 bonus tracks from the live album.

Ugly Custard - Ugly Custard. CD. (Green Tree - TA 35000) CD re-issue of an interesting instrumental cash in prog album from 1971 featuring some of the UK's best known songwriters and session musicians including Alan Parker and Herbie Flowers. This is quite trippy in places and features versions of songs by Stephen Stills and Paul Simon including an awesome heavy prog version of "Scarboro' Fair"
