|
(Ohrwaschl OW004-1 Ger-15 EX 300:-)
Paternoster was an Austrian underground, progressive rock band that originated from Vienna, Austria.
Inspired by Soft Machine and the likes, they existed approximately two years in the early 1970's, and disbanded shortly after the release of their 1971 eponymously entitled album, of which only some 270 copies were sold. An original copy was sold at around $8,000 on eBay in Sept 2015.

| Pell Mell - Moldau
|
(CAIN CL-5821 Ger-81 VG+ 500:-)
Pell Mell was formed by music students from Marburg University, West Germany in 1971. They released four albums as a proper band during their history developing a unique style.
In 1981 the multi-instrumentalist band leader Thomas Schmitt released the final Pell Mell album - "Moldau" - which was largely a solo project. This might well be their most symphonic album of all. The closing epic "Dark Valley" is very melodic, and features some wonderful and tranquil passages.

| Perigeo - Genealogia
|
(RCA Italiana TPL1-1080 Ita-74 VG+ 500:-)
Perigeo were founded in Rome in 1971: five professional musicians, all of them already largely active in the jazz and rock circuits of those years, who gathered in the studio to wisely blend together the two aforementioned music genres: this is probably the first example of jazz-rock music in Italy.
“Genealogia”, the group’s third LP, is widely regarded as their absolute pinnacle: the perfect balance between harmony and dissonance, catchiness and complexity of the musical phrasing. Jazz-rock is just a convenient label, because this really is music without boundaries, and Perigeo undoubtedly were among its best exponents.

|

| Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
|
(Harvest SHVL-781 UK-70 VG+/VG 500:-)
"Atom Heart Mother" is the fifth studio album of Pink Floyd. Roger Waters and David Gilmour took their band to new heights with this album, with its narrative about a woman being fitted with a nuclear-powered pacemaker.
1st UK pressing with "A-1G/B-1G" matrix. The sleeve of this copy is graded VG; the vinyl is VG+.

| Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds
|
(Harvest SHSP-4020 UK-72 VG+ 800:-)
"Obscured By Clouds" provided the musical backdrop of the French film 'La Vallée' by director Barbet Schroeder. With many shorter, rockier pieces and with the renunciation of sound experiments it offers at first sight unusual material, the band shows itself here (for many for the last time...) as a real rock band.
1st UK pressing with "A1/B1" matrix which was quickly rejected because of too much high-end EQ (see "Pink Floyd in Pompeii" film).

| Pink Floyd - The Wall
|
(Harvest 7C156-63410/11 Swe-79 VG+ 400:-)
"The Wall" was Roger Waters' crowning accomplishment in Pink Floyd. It documented the rise and fall of a rock star (named Pink Floyd), based on Waters' own experiences and the tendencies he'd observed in people around him.
The story revolves around the fictional stars isolation behind a psychological wall. The wall grows as various parts of his life spin out of control, and he grows incapable of dealing with his neuroses.

| Pop, Iggy - Brick by Brick
|
(Virgin America VUSLP-19 EU-90 VG+ 300:-)
"Brick by Brick" refined Iggy's gifts without watering them down, adding a polish that focused his talents rather than blurring them.
Working with a mixture of L.A. session heavyweights, "Brick by Brick" leans to tough, guitar-based hard rock, leavened with a few more pop-oriented tunes that still speak of a hard-nosed lyrical approach. This was Iggy Pop's strongest work since "Lust for Life", and marked a new high point in his career as a songwriter.

| Pop, Iggy - Nightclubbing
|
(Swingin' Pig TSP-067-2 Lux-90 VG+ 500:-)
James Newell Osterberg, known professionally as Iggy Pop, was the vocalist and lyricist of proto-punk band The Stooges. He had a long collaborative and personal friendship with David Bowie over the course of his career, beginning when both musicians relocated to West Berlin to wean themselves off their respective drug addictions and Pop began his solo career by collaborating with Bowie on the 1977 albums "The Idiot" and "Lust for Life". Throughout his career, he is well known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics, poetic lyrics, and distinctive voice.
This set from the "Lust for Life Tour" was recorded at the Montezuma Hall, San Diego CA November 16, 1977.

| Presley, Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii
|
(RCA VPSX-6089 US-73 VG+ 300:-)
"Aloha from Hawaii" was broadcast live via satellite to audiences in Asia and Oceania on January 14, 1973. The show was presented with a delay in Europe. It was the most expensive entertainment broadcast to that point in history and suitably lavish, with Elvis supported by his usual roster of friends. Tickets were sold on a "pay what you can" basis, with all proceeds benefiting the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.

| Presley, Elvis - Elvis Aron Presley
|
(RCA CPL8-3699 US-80 VG+ 500:-)
Released in 1980, this 8LP set - often referred to as "The Silver Box" - was the first attempt at a serious box set devoted to Elvis Presley. It was also the first career-wide survey on a rock & roll star's music, concentrating on rarities and outtakes; in other words, totally unknown territory for a major label.
8LP-box set in slipcase with embossed front, "Limited Edition" numbered sticker affixed to back cover. Includes a 12" × 12" gatefold booklet with photographs, notes and credits.

| Presley, Elvis - Elvis Now
|
(RCA Victor MOVLP2376 EU-19 EX 275:-)
Recorded primarily in May and June of 1971, "Elvis Now" is quintessential '70s Elvis Presley, an eclectic mix of ballads, rockers, and gospel numbers. As usual, Presley's singing is always good and occasionally breathtaking, and his backing band is excellent.

| Presley, Elvis - Greatest Hits
|
(Reader's Digest GELV-6A UK-75 VG+ 300:-)
Elvis Presley is rock 'n' roll. He sang like a dream, he was sexy enough to send girls swooning, and he exuded enough cool not to have the boys resent him. Adults worried about his rebellious nature, but they were eventually comforted by his polite, courteous manner. Yet as perfect as Presley's 1950s rock recordings are, he excelled at so much: down-home country crooning, raucous R&B belting, enraptured Gospel singing, and classic pop balladeering. Elvis wasn't a vocal chameleon: these styles seeped out of him naturally, allowing his own personality to shine through.
This 6LP Box Set comes with 14 page booklet. "Elvis in the Movies" is added as a bonus record.

| Pungent Stench - For God Your Soul...
|
(Nuclear Blast NB-029 Ger-90 EX 1000:-)
Pungent Stench's debut album finds the band at its most perverse; from the extremely disturbing cover art to the lyrics, this is the sort of stuff that is downright corruptive! It is a monumental album in the growth of the European death metal scene, and while it may be still underappreciated compared to its peers, this is a bonafide classic to the ones who adore it.
Original German pressing; still sealed with a small cut-out hole in upper right.
