| Meteors - In Heaven
|
(Lost Soul LOSTLP-3001 UK-81 VG+ 400:-)
"In Heaven" is the very first album from the original Psychobilly band, The Meteors.
40 years on and The Meteors are still the undisputed Kings of Psychobilly - but this is the album that started it all, sounding just as great today as it did when first released. A real groundbreaker and a true Psychobilly classic.

| Mighty Baby - Egyptian Tomb
|
(Psycho PSYCHO-31 UK-84 VG+ 375:-)
Formed in 1968 by ex-members of The Action (a beat-psych outfit with mod/soul elements), Mighty Baby were a UK hippy prog outfit active through to 1971.
Typically British but very wide-ranging, they bridged many rock/prog styles, with blues and folk elements. Some quote them as the British Grateful Dead.
1984 UK re-issue with new artwork.

| Moebius & Plank - Material
|
(Sky Records sky-067 Ger-81 VG+ 600:-)
'Material' is the second album of playful studio experimentation from Konrad 'Conny' Plank and Cluster's Dieter Moebius.
It was recorded at Plank's studio and features the two friends and collaborators in an endearingly explorative mode. The throbbing rockabilly send-up 'Conditionierer' makes a crazy start to the album, and much like the rest of their work at this time, strangely predates the techno culture of Germany by a decade or so.

| Mott the Hoople - same
|
(Island ILPS-9108 UK-69 VG+ 600:-)
Mott's first album is always a delight to listen to. A healthy mixture of covers and originals, it opens with an instrumental cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me". Two more covers follow, Doug Sahm's "At The Crossroads" and Sonny Bono's "Laugh At Me", both highlighting the fact that in the early days Ian Hunter's vocal delivery was influenced by Bob Dylan - indeed Dylan fan Lester Bangs, reviewing the album in Rolling Stone magazine, gave it a glowing review, convinced that Dylan had recorded an album under an assumed name.
Original UK pressing. The inside of the gatefold has a previous owners nametag.

| Mott the Hoople - Wildlife
|
(Island ILPS-9144 UK-71 VG+ 500:-)
Heady early work from Mott The Hoople -- still a very long-haired combo at this point, and boasting tremendous lead vocals from Ian Hunter!
Self-produced, it is the only Mott album where Mick Ralphs songs predominate. It shows his Neil Young country influences on tracks like "Wrong Side of the River" and "It Must be Love". It is also the first album to demonstrate Ian Hunter's ability to write killer ballads in "Angel of Eighth Avenue" and "Waterlow".
