Mind Garage was an American psychedelic rock and roll band from Morgantown, West Virginia, and a progenitor of Christian rock music. Their "Electric Liturgy" performed in 1968 was the first documented Christian rock worship service, and their 1969 eponymous debut RCA album was one of the earliest Christian rock albums released…

Excellent album by the band from Mexico. "Back" is excellent psychedelic rock with pop and garage touches full of well played cool organ and a feeling of "Love & Freedom" all over it, although it has its dark moments too.

Several 1970 Doors concerts were officially recorded for use on the Absolutely Live album, including both of the shows they gave in Boston on April 10 of that year. This three-CD set has the early and late sets from Boston in their entirety, adding up to about three hours of music, all but two of the tracks previously unreleased…

The fourth album by Procol Harum was released as the band was in the midst of a significant shift. With the departure of organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Robin Trower stepped more to the fore. The two-keyboard approach was still being utilized, with singer Gary Brooker's piano being joined on some selections by the organ playing of multi-instrumentalist Chris Copping. However, the stately grandeur that had been previously applied with grace and subtlety gave way to a band that rocked much harder…

Tomorrow's Gift first album is a true German Krautrock classic. Powerful long tracks with plenty of guitar, organ, flute and drum solos and of course with Ellen Meyers strong vocals, often compared with Inga Rumpf from Fumpy or Janis Joplin. Indeed Tomorrows Gift and Frumpy musically had a lot in common and are highly appreciated by many fans till today. The recordings were newly remastered and for the first time there is a comprehensive story of the band with a lot of unseen photos describing the decline and fall of Tomorrows Gift written by band founder Manfred Rürup. CD comes with a 28 pages booklet.

Tear Gas was a Scottish hard-rock band that released the album Piggy Go Getter on Famous/Paramount in 1970, followed by an eponymous album on Regal Zonophone in 1971. They then teamed with singer Alex Harvey in the long-running Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Tear Gas formed in 1969 as Mustard, a Glasgow rock quartet with guitarist Zal Cleminson, bassist Chris Glen, and 18-year-old drummer Gilson Lavis, a native of Bedford. Their original vocalist, Andy Mulvey, hailed from Scottish beat legends The Poets. By 1970, Mulvey cleared out singer David Batchelor. After Lavis cleared for drummer Richard “Wullie” Monro, Tear Gas signed with Famous Music, a division of Paramount Pictures. Tear Gas released their first album, Piggy Go Getter, in October 1970 on Famous.
