| Camel - Mirage
|
(Deram SML-1107 UK-74 VG+ 500:-)
English progressive rock group Camel formed in 1971 with an original lineup of Andrew Latimer, Peter Bardens, Doug Ferguson and Andy Ward.
Released in 1974, ‘Mirage’ saw Camel take their unique prog brilliance to a new level. The album includes two of the band’s best-known songs in “White Rider” and “Lady Fantasy” and the quality of all five tracks on the album is unquestionable.

| Clash - Black Market Clash
|
(Epic/Nu Disk 4E-36846 US-80 VG+ 300:-)
Springing from west and south London, adding catchy sloganistic socio-political lyrics to their brand of garage rock 'n' roll, The Clash soon explored wider musical horizons than most of their contemporaries, incorporating reggae, dub, rockabilly, hip hop and funk influences into their music and a whole lot more.
This 10" is a collection of singles, b-sides and various odds and ends, pulled together in the middle peak of the Clash's career, filled with lots of worthwhile moments.

| Cochran, Eddie - Box Set
|
(Liberty ECB-1 UK-88 VG+ 500:-)
An often-overlooked rock 'n' roll legend, Edward Raymond Cochran's contributions to music can't be measured by his activity in the record charts alone. The stompin' teenage anthem for all generations "Summertime Blues" was his only song to hit the Top-10.
On Sunday, April 17, 1960, Cochran and Gene Vincent were on their way to the airport to return to the United States when the car went off the road and hit a lamppost. Vincent suffered broken ribs and sustained injuries to an already weak leg that left him with a limp for the rest of his life. Cochran died in hospital that day from severe head injuries, aged 21.
The 5LP Box Set "A Complete History in Words and Music
1938-1960" also contains a 31 page booklet with full discography and many rare photographs.

| Colosseum - Valentyne Suite
|
(Vertigo VO-1 UK-70 VG/VG+ 500:-)
Although Colosseum are probably best known as a hard rocking progressive band, they certainly had plenty of jazz touches – and this album spawned the great groover "Elegy", which has become something of a jazzy dancefloor classic over the years!
Overall, the record's got some very tight drumming, plenty of hard-wailing organ work, and a basic groove that takes off where the beat groups of the 60s left off – pushing into more expansive, more progressive jazz territory.
2nd UK pressing on the B&W Vertigo label. The sleeve shows some wear and is graded VG; the vinyl is VG+.

| Costello, Elvis - Goodbye Cruel World
|
(F-Beat ZL-70317 Hol-84 VG+ 225:-)
If there was ever an album showing an artist in transition then this is it. Elvis was continuing his move from popular music star to deep thinking artist, but here he had a crisis of confidence writ large which was not surprising given his personal issues at that time, including a divorce.
Dutch pressing; this copy has been signed by Elvis on the front.

| Costello, Elvis - My Aim is True
|
(Stiff SEEZ-3 UK-77 VG+ 350:-)
Elvis Costello is one of the biggest talents to come out of London's mid-1970s Pub Rock scene. His earliest records were of such high caliber and from such a different viewpoint than the music emanating from punkified London that even today his music is liable to knock an unsuspecting listener on her or his arse.
Elvis' debut album was recorded over the course of six four-hour studio sessions. Produced by Nick Lowe, the backing band was made up of members of Clover, a California-based country rock act, who were uncredited on the release due to contractual difficulties.

| Cult - Ceremony
|
(Beggars Banquet BEGA-122 EU-91 VG+ 475:-)
The Cult is fronted by Ian Astbury on vocals and Billy Duffy on guitar. Their music and albums at this point need no introduction as they have cemented themselves over the years since they began in 1983, as one of the greatest rock bands around.
The Cult continued to develop their sound on this (their fifth) album, and it is heavily influenced by Native American culture. "Ceremony" is a testament to The Cult’s ability to evolve and adapt while staying true to their roots and it’s songs are about spirituality, love and rebellion.

| Curved Air - Airconditioning
|
(Warner Bros WSX-3012 UK-70 VG+ 500:-)
Curved Air's debut album perfectly demonstrated the band's innovative musical approach, blending classical, electronic and folk music influences in their work and featuring Sonja Kristina's sublime vocals.
This was one of the very first mass-produced 'progressive rock music' picture discs to be produced and was released in a limited edition of 10,000 pressings.
