3/3 - 3/3. LP, £29 (Shadoks Music - SHADOKS 082)

3/3 are Reck (guitar, vocals), Higo Hiroshi (bass) and Chiko Hige (drums). The name was inspired by a Japanese comic (4/4). In February 1975 3/3 ( Sanbun No San) released this album in a tiny pressing of 15 copies only to get a record deal. The cover was homemade and the recording sounds live but without audience. The music is ultra heavy guitar dominated psychedelic rock like a mixture of Blue Cheer, MC5 and early Punk / New Wave bands. The sound quality is mediocre but the music is a blaster. 3/3 has never released another recording. Both Reck and Hige then moved to New York where they stayed for over a year and played with James Chance & the Contortions, Lydia Lunch (Teenage Jesus & The Jerks) and others (No New York movement). They returned to Japan in 1978 to start a new group which became very famous: Friction, who certainly had a big influence on the late 1970's Japanese punk and new wave scene. This album of 3/3 is the rarest underground album ever released in Japan.180 gram pressing on black wax and screen print sleeve.300 copies only.

Acid Mothers Temple - Starless & Bible Black Sabbath. CD, £14 (Alien 8 - ALIENCD 62)

We thinks the title gives away the influences involved here somewhat, but then again one never quite knows with this Japanese psychedelic ensemble. This release sees the band paying homage to Black Sabbath. It isn't straight up Sabbath worship in the sense of covers, but rather the band pays respect to the sound of Sabbath & like minded bands such as Melvins or Zeni Geva.

Acid Mothers Temple - Wild Girls A Go-Go. Dble LP, £18 (Eclipse Records - ECLIPSE 0)

At long last a well-deserved and well overdue vinyl re-issue of one of the greatest albums created by the psychedelic freaks of Japan's AMT. Originally released on CD in ridiculously low numbers we finally have a deluxe double 180g vinyl version housed in a heavy duty, risque (but of course), gatefold sleeve. Those lucky enough to grap a copy back in the day will need no convincing to snap this up, for those in the dark read on.. Conceived as the soundtrack to a Russian psychedelic exploitation film, this album marks the moment when the AMT crew started to really push outwards into unmapped regions of space. The sound is not as frequently wild or heavy as it has been on some of their other lp's but any suggestion of disappointment will be crushed when you hear the mesmerising mixture of cyclical riffing and a persistant high pitch drone that introduces the listener to the album. Out of an enormous catalogue this album really does command attention for all fans of progressive pyschedelic music. Behold the true beauty of Acid Mothers Temple!! But be quick this is a one time pressing of 1000 copies only, and if that isn't enough for you its got a previously unreleased track added as well! Sweet Mary!

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O - Minstrel In The Galaxy. CD, £15 (Riot Season - REPOSEC 7)

The first AMT studio release (2004) since the departure of much loved vocalist/synth goddess Cotton Casino earlier this year. While there wasn't a dry eye in the house when we heard the news of Miss Casino's departure we are deleriously happy to report that AMT have recruited the astounding Japanese duo Afrirampo (recent touring buddies of Sonic Youth) to replace Cotton, and their presence fills the void with gusto. This album is a much darker affair than one may have come to expect from the guitar freakouts layering many recent AMT LPs. Drones and misplaced vocals aplenty, this album presents AMT in comedown mood, and the guitars here are of the acoustic variety. There is still enough of the original AMT sound to go around here but also there are enough twists to hopeful bring this hard working and stunningly inventive collective to a whole new audience. Dig the Tull-tastic punning of the title too!!

The debut release from this now infamous noise crew- in fact, these are the original Japanese pressings.

Thirteen tracks of extreme stoned space rock strangeness, with all sorts of lysergic mayhem going on. And why not???Also comes with Japanese obi strip.

Archie Fisher & Barbara Dickson - The Folk Experiences Of - Thro' The Recent Years. CD, £16 (Vinyl Japan - ASKCD 155)

One of the very earliest recordings by Barbara Dickson, who was involved in the Scottish Folk scene and had been working with Archie Fisher in the late '60's. the pair both sing original compostions of semi autobiographical, traditional and fantastical tales. They are backed by a string arrangement and various Scottish session men. Soon after this album, Barbara would leave Scotland for London where she would continue with the Folk scene for a while but would soon hit the big time in musicals in the mid-'70's; making this an unusual, hard to get collectors item. Originally released in '70, this is a very rare Japanese edition complete with an obi strip. Includes: "The January Man", "The Frolicsome Alcoholic Mermaid", "Together Forever" and "Lullaby For Father." and more.

Be-Bop Deluxe - Drastic Plastic. CD, £9 (EMI - CDP 7947332)

The final Be-Bop Deluxe album is a fascinating deconstruction of Bill Nelson's obsession with an arcane vision of the future. Produced in 1978 this album celebrates the vision of a future that seemed possible in the 1950s, filled with strange contraptions and new modes of communication. Nelson found his own vision of the future in Japan and treats the culture with a romanticism that never betrays his strident experimentalism. This album acts as a fine signpost for the musical experiments Nelson would go on to construct with his more audacious group "Red Noise".

Bill Bruford And Keiko Abe - Go Between. CD, £12 (Voiceprint - BBSF018CD)

CD release from The New Percussion Group of Amsterdam, featuring Bill Bruford and Keiko Abe. The album ‘Go Between’ was originally released in 1986 but has been unavailable since 1992.The New Percussion Group of Amsterdam was founded in 1980 by two solo percussionists of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Symphony Orchestra, Jan Pustjens and Niels Le Large, specifically to bring new and adventurous percussion works to a young and modern audience. This re-mastered edition of Go Between comprises four long tracks of material written specifically for the project and its two stellar-featured artists.Bill Bruford has been in the top echelon of percussionists for almost forty years. Through bands like Yes, King Crimson and Genesis to countless sessions and also leading a number of his own groups. Bill has enjoyed success within a number of different musical fields including rock and jazz. He currently leads the successful Earthworks jazz ensemble and runs the equally successful record labels Summerfold and Winterfold.The eminent Japanese composer and virtuoso, Keiko Abe, studied percussion, composition and piano at Gakugei University in Tokyo, ultimately specialising on marimba, the instrument she was to change forever. Her formidable technical skill and powerful musical interpretation has made her a primary figure in the development of the modern five octave concert instrument, in terms of expanding both technique and repertoire

Bill Drummond - The Man. CD, £12 (Castle - CMRCD1233)

To some a seminal figure, to others merely 'famous for being famous'. Everyone has their own opinion of Bill Drummond, the enigmatic South African who ensonced himself in the Liverpool scene of the late 70s/early 80s (becoming, like practically everyone else who ever went to Eric's, a member of the quasi-legendary Big In Japan). Head of Zoo Records alongside the Teardrops' Dave Balfe, svengali figure to the Bunnymen, 'ideas man' behind Strawberry Switchblade, Zodiac Mindwarp and the Proclaimers, and ultimately the man behind the KLF (upon which the FE jury is still out)- so many strings to one bow, yet little is remembered of his own career as a singer songwriter, which began an ended with this one album on Creation in 1987 after his resignation from his own label. Never released on CD before, expanded thanks to the addition of the bonus track 'A Manager Speaks' (which is worth £30 as the B side of the original 72 single of 'King Of Joy') and featuring liner notes from the man himself. Includes the by now legendary 'Julian Cope Is Dead' (a riposte to 'Bill Drummond Said' from Copey's "Fried" album)- sure to resurrect some old controversies!!

Bill Nelson - Chimera. CD, £7.5 (Mercury - 9831027)

Nelson continued to move forward into unchartered territory with this, originally an EP that followed the more spiritually-oriented 'The Love That Whirls', now boosted to full album status by dint of several highly welcome bonus tracks. An attempt to return to simpler pop structure after its predecessor's esoteric bent, this was the first of Bill's collaborations with the Yellow Magic Orchestra's Yukihiro Takashi, and bears very much the stamp of that band, as well as featuring Mick Karn of Japan on fretless bass. Nelson's masterful guitar playing returns very much to the fore here on the track 'The Real Adventure' but on tracks like 'Glow World' and 'Everyday Feels Like A New Drug' he was moving further toward what would eventually be known as dance music. One of the few truly 'progressive' (in the literal sense of the word) musicians around.

Blue Stars Of France - Lullaby Of Birdland & Other Famous Hits. CD, £7.99 (Five Four - FIVEFOUR6)

Blossom Dearie is one of the most brilliant and attractive singers in jazz (the Astrud Gilberto of serious jazz). She formed Blue Stars Of France at the outset of her career in the early 50s and the band enjoyed an immediate American hit with their imaginative version of George Shearing's ‘Lullaby Of Birdland’ which was arranged by Michel Legrand. The Blue Stars Of France album is the coolest modern music; from it's source evolved the Double Six Of Paris, Lambert Hendricks & Ross and the Swingle Singers. She is big in Japan (where many of Blossom's best albums are in print) and in the States, where she will always be remembered for her lovely performances on 'America Rock!' Described by jazz critic Leonard Feather as 'A Voice In a Million', Blossom Dearie continues to tour and bring joy to sophisticated audiences everywhere. With her intimate style and unique voice, she remains one of the few survivors of a specialized art.

Boredoms - Onanie Bomb Meets The Sex Pistols. CD, £9

CD re-issue of the bands 1986 album ("onanie" being Japanese slang for "female masturbation") which twitches and scrambles like epileptic billiard balls at the first break.Experimental distorted song structures and control free vocals make this a musical lucky dip much like late 60's early 70's Kraut rock experimentations.Even the recording dates are mysterious as the band state they started in 1986 The Japanese version first claimed 1994 and the UK version claimed to be released in 1988??

Boredoms - Seadrum/House Of Sun. CD, £14 (Vice - 62309-2)

Across nearly 20 years, founder and leader Eye has taken the band on the equivalent of a road trip, from the early swamps of chaos through times of tribal frenzy, oceanic tranquility, and even near prog-rock sonic constructions.Tthe Boredoms were responsible for opening the eyes of listeners in this country to the possibilities of the Japanese music scene. After all, Yoshimi was even namechecked in a Flaming Lips album title. THE ALBUM Seadrum/House of Sun, was edited from recording sessions spanning a couple of years (including some with former guitarist Yamamoto). As the name hints, some of it was recorded at the beach, with the tide coming in as they played. The two lengthy tracks comprising the 2006 album manage a paradoxical blending of peaceful waves of sound with intense, churning rhythmic moments.

Boredoms - Super Roots 6. CD, £12 (Very Friendly - VF039CD)

Issued in both Japan and America in 1996, this seventte ntrack album is very likely to be more of an Eye solo album despite the crediting of oter band members Hira, Yamamoto, Yoshimi P-We, and ATR/Atari. Apart from the odd moment of noise, this must be the most gentle of all the Super Roots albums; meditative, self-aware, and pregnant with breaks and beats.

Boredoms - Super Roots 7. CD, £9 (Very Friendly - VF040CD)

Japanese only EP featuring cover material. Super Roots 7 will sound familiar to Mekons fans as it’s an extended cover of the group’s second single "Where Were You." The three Krautrocky tracks embrace synthesizers more fully than any previous release: "Boriginal" is the groups twenty minute celebration of the Mekons twentieth anniversary as an active band, the two book end tracks are Eye-sanctioned remixes. They manage to be rocky and repetitive while still grasping for a unifying melody. Brilliant ballsy music.

Boz Scaggs - Fade Into Light. CD + DVD, £17 (Virgin Records - CDVUSX 273)

From his formative years as a musician growing up in Texas in the days of early rock and roll, R&B, blues and folk, Boz Scaggs was steeped in the music coming out of New Orleans, Memphis, Chicago, and from Dallas. "Fade Into Light" has been previously available in Japan, but this is its first release in the UK. All tracks were recorded live at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco (some feature Boz unplugged). Among them is a version of Boz's biggest hit 'Lowdown', as well as a newly recorded version of Teddy Pendergrass' 'Love T.K.O.'. The DVD contains the album in enhanced stereo, along with video footage of 3 tracks in 5.1 surround sound.

Brast Burn - Debon. CD, £12 (Paradigm - PD 07)

Quite an unbelievable find! This mysterious record has lain undiscovered since the mid seventies when (it is guessed) it was recorded by a group of unknown Japanese musicians and then released privately by Voice records. Rumours of the greatness of this psychedelic masterpiece have circulated for years (largely propagated by Nurse With Wounds famously obscure "list" on which Brast Burn feature) and it has finally seen re-release in a beautiful hand numbered CD issue of just 500. So, now that it's available what's it actually like? Well,... it's simply astonishing. Split into two long sequences, the music runs right up to the edge of sanity and screams wordlessly in the face of madness then jogs back to a lone hill top to lazily invent the form of psychedelic acid folk that Ghost have made an entire career from. There is utterly freaked out, acid-drenched genius at work on this record. Strains of Kraut rock run throughout, Can, and particularly Damo Suzuki's vocal style, are certainly valid comparisons, but this music really does seem to be running a race of its own, clouded in pot smoke, and headed in the wrong direction but glorious while doing it. Highly Recommended.

Bugaloos - Songs From The Original Television Series. CD, £7.99 (El - ACMEM66CD)

Syd & Marty Krofft’s enormously successful follow up to "Hr Pufnstuf" another Wizard Of Oz-style children's programme full of psychedelic metaphors and great music. With a nod toward the contemporary success of Josie and The Pussycats, The Archies and The Banana Splits (which placed a band at the centre of the story), and with insect wings that allow them to fly, The Bugaloos were a fake pop band of English bugs who live in Tranquility Forest (the last of the British colonies) along with their friend Sparky the firefly. The Bugaloos theme was created by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel (who had completed ‘Barbarella’ and ‘Pufnstuf’ and would soon write the famous themes for 'Happy Days' and ‘Laverne and Shirley') with most of the other beautiful selections (including the hit 'Senses of Our World') penned by Hal Yoergler who also produced the soundtrack. Touted as the British version of the Monkees, over 5000 aspiring Bugaloos auditioned to cast the four leads, each having to demonstrate aptitude in dance, singing, and acting. Apparently a young Phil Collins was amongst them, auditioning for the role of I.Q but failing to get the part. Bigger even than Pufnstuf in the US, this is (incredibly) the first time this soundtrack has been made available in the West (in Japan the programme is regarded as almost sacred) Bugger me. Bugger who? No, it's the Bugaloos!!!

Third official Can album (originally released in 1970) and the second to feature the insane babblings of Damo Suzuki, a Japanese man fronting a German band singing in English but seemingly fluent only in the lexicon of the Planet Wibble. A double vinyl set at the time of release, this was the album that contained the relentless 20-minute funk of 'Halleluwah' (later copied wholesale by Happy Mondays), the equally long and actually rather frightening tape loop collage that is 'Aumgn', the screeching, gibbering 'Peking O' the sparse garage punk thud of 'Mushroom' and the Link Wray-backwards-through-a mincer clatter of 'Oh Yeah' - all of which have now been sampled to death by every fucker from Hoxton to Moss Side, but that doesn't make them any less classic.

Classix Nouveaux - Secret. CD, £7.99 (Cherry Red - CDMRED303)

Although Classix Nouveaux's more guitar-heavy sound separated them from the mostly synthetic rhythms of Japan andUltravox, the group's appetite for stylish fashion and danceable keyboards had them quickly associated with the newromantic movement. Formed in 1979 with Sal Solo (vocals), Mik Sweeney (bass), BP Hurding (drums), and Jak Airport(guitar), Classix Nouveaux originated in the punk underground, namely from the ashes of the controversial X-Ray Spex.After banshee wailer Poly Styrene departed from X-Ray Spex, the remaining members held auditions for a replacementsinger. The charismatic Solo won the approval of Styrene's former bandmates and they went on to record the albumNIGHT PEOPLE (1981), followed by LA VERITE (1982).SECRET (1983) turned out to be a very appropriate title for most of the world, as this final album was ClassixNouveaux's best kept secret. With top American producer, Alex Sadkin, at the helm Classix veered between the artisticexperimental of Peter Gabriel and the synthy pop of the Thompson Twins.

Dave Pell Singers - Mah- Nah- Mah- Nah. CD, £7 (El - ACMEM77CD)

Like El's forthcoming Four King Cousins release, the Dave Pell Singers album is highly prized, top class lounge / harmony sunshine pop. What the Japanese call Soft Rock (or even sometimes 'Soff Lock') Originally issued in 1969, It¹s many highlights include a breezy version of Piero Umiliani's "Mah-Na, Mah-Na" and a cool, sensuous performance of the title tune from the controversial musical, "Oh,Calcutta" Pell¹s "Oh Calcutta" has featured already to great acclaim on the very comprehensive "Sound Gallery" compilation of a decade ago. With this release Dave Pell can now take his rightful place amongst the giants of lounge; Andy Williams, Roy Budd, Dudley Moore (actually, I think you'll find he was a bebop pianist- Get Facts Straight Ed), Tony Hatch. Dave Pell's behind-the-scenes career may be more familiar to space age pop fans than his own accomplishments as a performer. Head of A & R at United Artists and Liberty Records in the sixties, Pell produced well-known albums by Martin Denny, The Ventures, Shirley Bassey and Bobby Vee.

Death In June - Not Guilty And Proud. Pic Disc LP, £13 (NER/Tesco Organisation - DIJ111J)

EXCLUSIVE!! Limited edition picture disc, designed by Enrico Chiarparin. The tracks are remixes from the June's debut album from 1980, entitled 'The Gulty Have No Pride' and later also reissued as 'The Guilty Have No Past'. The style of the band at the time was very Joy Division/Big In Japan/Stranglers influenced, and rooted in the deep-vocal and clanging bass sound used by every post-punk and even New Romantic band of the time, Pearce's vocals sometimes bearing a resemblance to early Phil Oakey. Little did people know what was to follow. . .

Dou Da Dou - Various. CD, £4.5 (Vadim - VAD 4)

The extreme dynamism of French pop music between 1967 and the end of the Seventies is undeniable. Just walk through any record fair in Europe, Japan or the USA to appreciate the passion of collectors for the 45's or LP's of this period. However the interest is not limited to only Gainsbourg, Dutronc, Birkin or Ferrer, because aside from these top sellers a massive and eclectic catalog of less known talents exists. Vadim Music is thus very proud to present "Dou Da Dou The unlimited French LostCatalogue": Discover fascinating artists such as Sophie Makhno and her visionary "Obsessions 68" an incredible dialogue written one year before the 1968 riots, or the deep and warm voice of Orlane Paquin on her Pop rocket "Le Train de 10:03". Discover "Zoizoi" by France Gall and "Bailando Patropi" coming straight out of Rio de Janeiro and "Wana Nene Wana Nana" by MarcelZanini. What to say about Franois de Roubaix and his "Piti-Piti-Pas"? The original soundtrack for "L'Homme Orchestre", other than that it is undoubtedly one of his most important titles with his devastating guitar riff and whirling string arrangement. Still in the cinematic field, imagine a young boy running through the streets of Montmartre with "A Travers Montmartre" by Demis Roussos with its mad bass line, funk guitar and whistle. There is also "Les Tomates" by Jack Ary. This track became cult since the "Dingo" compilation released by Vadim Music in 2001. But also "Hum! Hum!" by Franoise Deldick: Torrid cover from "Love is Strange" by Mickey and Sylvia. "Syncopated Motion" by Eddie Warner: One of the maestros of the French music library. And finally "Kriminal Theme" the psychedelic masterpiece from The Maledictus Sound. Enjoy! CD includes 8 page booklet.

Fevers - Love Always Wins. CD, £11 (ALIEN SNATCH - SNATCHC 27)

THE FEVERS! THE FEVERS! Yes indeedy here is the eagerly awaited second album from one of the hottest new groups around. The Fevers started as a bit of a mystery years ago, they gained a reputation in the world of music and a place in the hearts of their fans soon afterwards and having just finished touring the US with their lovely Japanese friends the 5.6.7.8's they're set to explode into more arteries than every before. They've got all the pop music history has to offer. As powerpop as Teenage Head, Nerves and Knack (without ties & laughing all the way to the bank) while taking their cues from the "odd" bubblegum craze boy groups of the 60's and injecting stunning "nice guy" 60's harmonies. No need for gimmicks here, they just love to rock. They love it loud but they dont wanna be "LOUD" like most of the others out there. The combination of Gavin's undeniably distinguished raspy voice, backed by that foot-tapping juice-driving heart-soaring lead guitar with Who-ish rough punchiness creates a sound that is simple but surprising, intense but subtle and shining, shining bright.

Another fine example of early seventies Japanese rock, the first album on this 2fer effort has a more psychedelic edge to it and is probably the bands best album.The second album also from 1972 (originally on Vertigo) is a monster mixing up Free and Sabbath on the half live half studio affair. The CD sleeve has the original Daliesque cover on one side and the plain black 'Goodbye' on the other (sadly not textured)- loaded with weirdness from the land of the rising sun.

Flied Egg - Goodbye. CD, £4.4 (Vertigo - PHCL3017)

Japanese Vertigo pressing (jewel case) of their 2nd (and last) album that compiled live [from their farewell concert, apparently] and studio tracks.The album leant more towards their heavy rock side, notably influenced by Grand Funk circa ‘Live Album’ and numerous Black Sabbath-meets-Mountain wannabes, and including a couple of old Strawberry Path songs. The studio material was in a similar vein to the range of styles on their first album. Drummer Hiro Tsunoda had previously been in The Jacks, Foodbrain and Strawberry Path, and was also in Sadistic Mika Band at some point. Bassist Masayoshi Takanaka had previously been in Brush.This CD is an excellent example of its' genre.Check out the 12 minute "Five More Pennies". Originally released in 1972 on Vertigo Records in 1972.Now deleted - these are the last few copies.

Ringo helps out again on this band driven album. Comes with a forty page booklet. DVD section has rare footage of Harrison's 1991 Japanese tour with Eric Clapton, an unreleased version of "Miss O'Dell" with a new video, an acoustic version of "Sue You, Sue Me Blues" and a new video featuring film commssioned by George of the manufacturing of the original album.
