This is one of the greatest 45s I have discovered this year. UK only release on President, it never shows up for sale and it just is a killer track. Eddy Grant production from 1967 with some nice ska crossover influen...

Probably the rarest US psych recording on a major label. This '69 Capitol original is ultra hard to track down. It is not just superbly rare it is superbly good. Take For You, Look Around and Feeling are my favorites ...

Believed debut by the Roberto Magris led trio Grupo Jazz Marca. Such a fine piece of modern jazz that moves from soulful to abstract. Very very hard to find original pressing from '83. Record is strong EX, cover spine...

Heavy funk monster that has grail status written all over it. Seriously rare and seriously funky. Harlem Dreams on the flip is also a nice upbeat mover. As an added bonus, the 45 is pressed significantly louded than t...

Off the radar Jose Prates production and maybe even his best one (at least from his seventies recording perios). Expect the usual mix of breakbeat sambas and dancefloor friendly batucada topped only by the magnificent...

Still remember the thrills of needle dropping on this new discovery not knowing whether it would be some average kiddy's recording or if the ongoing detective work for new and untapped beats had paid off again. Defina...

Ultra rare AOR recording with the amazing Down In California discovered and edited by Albion and Psychemagik. The perfect summertime tune and the album has more Westcoast vibes on offer. Very hard to find item and dem...

Epic anthem perfectly mixing together latin, jazz, disco and funk. It builds so nicely, you just never want it to end. This is the rarest Rams Horn pressing with same edit to the impossible rare and expensive Salsoul ...

Impossibly rare private pressed German disco grail. Slight oriental touch and a sound that should appeal to Italo disco fans. Stunning EX condition and as an added bonus it is signed 'With all my love, Prescilla' on t...

Holy grail French childrens EP with exclusive tracks by Jean Claude Vannier, Andre Georget and Francois De Roubiax. Seriously funky jazz rock with an experimental touch. Highlights in La Girafe Au Ballon and L'Eléphan...

Masterpiece Melike Demirag album that moves from progish yet funky tunes like Hasret or Ellerinz to the deep melodic Saz and Kurban. Rare and recommended pick on Folkways. Record is solid EX and cover still partly in ...

The HDN compilation albums have turned super super hard to come by and are highly collectable if you are into obscure electro and disco productions. This is by far the best one, an all instrumental affair and with sev...

Mega rare blaxploitation funk 45 from Dennis Coffey with huge breaks. Always in demand and just rarely shows up. Understandably as it simply is pure heat for your speakers. Love Theme on the flip is another midtempo f...

Mega rarity here. Impossible to find private pressing from Ernst, a local German new wave band covering Talking Heads and Frank Zappa trakcs in German. Listen to Psychokiller. It is pretty spectacular! Near perfect copy.

This year is still very much young but I think this will be a contender for best find in 2014 nonetheless. What a blasting piece to drop out and potentially cue in with Saleb Ragab's Amber Of The Nile. Released on the...

Amazing recording by the famous Youssou N'Dour ensemble mixing Senegalese folk and jazz. Melodic yet intense with intriguing solo performances that really pulls you in. A masterpiece and rare treat all in one. Record ...

Surely one of the best hidden soul gems we have ticked off recently. Marvelous piece, privately pressed and little or nothing to be found about Vi Richardson or the brilliant River Street Gang backing the gentleman. T...

Likely the rarest Hi-NRG release around and also the toughest Bobby O produced record to find. Dub version is the winner in my ears but who am I to judge. Certainly is a loud, fast and furious Italo cut. Cleanest EX++...

Masterpiece progressive jazz rock that is as good as it is rare. I love the way they experiment with funky psychedelic elements all in a complex prog rock setting. Children, Song and Masquerade are my favorites but no...

More exclusive Italo, electro and disco productions on the German HDN label. Digitalia Project, Go Bang, Playtronic and many more. Super rare album from the series we have been diggin for since years and only now caug...
