| Pere Ubu - Dub Housing
|
(Chrysalis CHR-1207 UK-76 EX 275:-)
Pere Ubu emerged from the urban wastelands of mid-'70s Cleveland to impact the American underground for generations to come; led by hulking frontman David Thomas, whose absurdist warble and rapturously demented lyrics remained the band's creative focus throughout their long, convoluted career, Ubu's protean art punk sound harnessed self-destructing melodies, scattershot rhythms, and industrial-strength dissonance to capture the angst and chaos of their times with both apocalyptic fervor and surprising humanity.
THE MODERN DANCE was Pere Ubu's debut and 1978's great leap forward in the wake of punk and its lesser descendents. As such, DUB HOUSING, 10 months its junior, was always going to have a hard act to follow. At heart an avant-garde troupe with an overbearing sense of alienation about them, Ubu resisted the hooks that earned THE MODERN DANCE so many of its plaudits. DUB HOUSING rode along on Tony Maimone's fluid bass work on "I Will Wait" and "Navvy," periodically breaking down into ordered chaos. You can almost hear the fragile building bricks tumble on "Thriller!"
Original UK pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded EX.

| Popol Vuh – Agape-Agape Love-Love
|
(Uniton U-015 Nor-83 VG+ 300:-)
Popol Vuh as an experimental German band whose cosmic, trance-like music was a huge influence on modern ambience and worldbeat.
Two years after the issue of "Sei Still, Wisse ICH BIN", "Agape-Agape (Love-Love)" offers a deeper view of the same animal. Still utilizing a choir for Gregorian chant-like ethereal intensity - though they sing in Byzantine scales - pianist Florian Fricke, guitarist/percussionist Daniel Fichelscher, guitarist Conny Veit, and vocalist Renate Knaup delve deeply into the drone world of Fricke's sacred music muse.

| Presley, Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii
|
(RCA Victor DPS-2040 UK-73 EX 275:-)
"Aloha from Hawaii" captures Elvis' celebrated live television concert from 1973. Arguably, it also captures the peak of the Presley live extravaganzas of the '70s. The record finds Elvis pulling out all the stops, running through a set that favors covers and new material at the expense of classics.
Original UK pressing complete with insert.

| Presley, Elvis - Elvis Aron Presley
|
(RCA EAP-3699 US-80 SS 400:-)
This 8LP Box Set is a magnificient undertaking for RCA three years after Elvis' death. It contains some never before released songs (such as the piano-driven, countryish "Beyond The Reef"), rare singles and B-sides ("Hi-Heel Sneakers"), the complete 1961 benefit performance in Hawaii that turned out to be his last live appearance until the tapings of the 1968 special. Also an unreleased early live show in Las Vegas from 1956, a disc of Elvis at the piano, plus so much more. An exceptional collection.
