RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2025
50th Anniversary edition of the legendary Eduardo Bort album, the crown jewel of Spanish hard-prog and psychedelic hard-rock from the '70s. Recorded between 1973 and 1974 and released in 1975 as part of Movieplay's legendary Gong series, Eduardo Bort's debut stands as one of the most visionary and legendary works in the birth of Spanish progressive rock. Conceived in Valencia after years of performing across Europe and enduring several failed recording attempts, Bort set out to create, without compromise or commercial restraint, an album that fused fantastic literature, instrumental virtuosity, and sonic experimentation. Inspired by the dreamlike worlds of H. P. Lovecraft and Lord Dunsany, the Valencian musician composed a conceptual suite based on the imaginary river Yann, weaving together passages of pure prog-rock, psychedelia, hard-rock, and cosmic poetry. He surrounded himself with an exceptional band -- José Soriano, Marino Hernández, Vicente Alcañiz, and Fony -- with whom he recorded the complex demos that would eventually shape the album. The sessions at Audiofilm Studios in Madrid, featuring dazzling production and a technical arsenal previously unheard of in Spain (Mellotron, Moog, Hammond organ, Rhodes piano), resulted in a sound so advanced that no local label knew what to do with it. Even EMI UK, deeply impressed by the recording, offered to release it internationally -- but the project was never finalized. Eventually, the album appeared quietly in 1975 through Movieplay, though over time it has come to be recognized worldwide as an absolute masterpiece of progressive and psychedelic rock. Featuring original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Sourced from the original masters. Includes insert with detailed liner notes (Spanish only) and photos.

RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2025
Hard psychedelic bluesy rock with heavy fuzz-wah guitar by these legends from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, the first band to perform live with a boa constrictor, before Alice Cooper. Privately pressed in 1972, Everlasting Tributes was really a collection of studio tapes recorded in 1968/1969. Born in the summer of 1965 in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, The Finchley Boys carved out their place as one of the Midwest's most electrifying and unpredictable rock bands. Starting with British Invasion covers (Yardbirds, Kinks, Animals, Stones), the group quickly moved into originals like "Only Me" and "Hooked," setting them apart from the pack. By 1967, they were on the road full-time -- too young to drink but old enough to blow the doors off every bar from Illinois to Iowa. A fateful merger with local favorites Somebody Groovy led to the definitive Finchley lineup: George Faber (vocals, harp), Garrett Oostdyk (guitar), Larry "Tabe" Tabeling (bass), and J. Michael Powers (drums). Named after a gang mentioned on a Kinks album, the Finchleys became infamous for their wild stage shows, psychedelic blues riffs, and outrageous theatrics -- including a real live boa constrictor on stage. They shared bills with legends like The Byrds, B.B. King, Canned Heat, MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, The Faces, and John Mayall, and were hailed as one of the Midwest's most exciting live acts. Their defining moment came at The Kickapoo Creek Rock Festival (1970) -- a "mini-Woodstock" where their explosive set left tens of thousands of fans in awe and the Chicago Sun-Times proclaiming them festival standouts. Though mainstream fame eluded them, their recordings at Golden Voice Studios and Chess Studios captured their raw power and unique sound. These sessions became the cult-classic 1972 LP Everlasting Tributes -- a roaring mix of heavy blues, hard-psych and proto-punk energy that continues to inspire collectors and fans worldwide. Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI. Ultimate reissue of this classic US hard-psych album including two killer tracks that were left off of the original tracklist. Includes insert with detailed liner notes and photos/memorabilia. Sourced from the original masters.

Psychedelic rock holy grail. Hailing from Tel Aviv, the Churchills blended Anglo-American psychedelia with Middle Eastern motifs. The band was in fact a cosmopolitan collective: vocalist Stan Solomon was Canadian, guitarist Robb Huxley came from England, while the rest of the group -- Haim Romano on guitar and mandolin, Michael 'Miki' Gavrielov on bass, and Ami Trebich on drums -- were all from Israel. Released in 1969, Churchills can be considered the first truly psychedelic rock album produced and released in Israel during the 1960s. At a time when Israeli music was dominated by folk and pop, the Churchills' English-language, fuzz-drenched, mind-bending sound and studio experimentation was wildly ahead of its time. Impossible to find in its original form, Guerssen presents a new vinyl reissue of such legendary album, sourced from the original master tapes. Includes eight-page insert with detailed liner notes by Mike Stax with input by original member Robb Huxley and rare photos.

Among the many forgotten bands of the late '60s, few shine as brightly (and unjustly overlooked) as Singapore's own October Cherries. From Singapore to Belgium to Abbey Road, The October Cherries reinvented themselves again and again -- Truck, Col. Truck, Jade & Pepper -- leaving behind a trail of dazzling Beatlesque pop-psych. Col. Truck's One Fine Day was released in the UK in 1976 and it's the perfect companion to the Truck's Surprise! Surprise! and October Cherries' Dreamseller albums. The October Cherries (Jay Shotam, Peter Díaz, Richard Khan, and Benny Siow plus the "fifth" member Balram "Bal" Shotam), became hometown heroes in late-'60s Singapore and Malaysia, crafting a shimmering brand of Beatlesque psychedelic pop that rivaled their UK contemporaries. After government censorship and piracy stifled their career at home, the band relocated to Belgium, releasing the Pepperish gem Dreamseller in 1972. When guitarist Peter Diaz departed to join famous Belgian band The Pebbles, Jay and Bal responded with a bold studio experiment: Truck's 1974 album Surprise! Surprise! -- a reimagined, synth-enhanced reincarnation of their earlier work, bursting with fuzz guitars, Moog flourishes, and melodic charm. What began as "revenge" became their most adventurous and collectible release. Soon after, the Balram brothers relocated to London and issued Col. Truck's One Fine Day (mixed at Abbey Road and mastered at Pye Studios), another gem blending the melodic warmth of Dreamseller with a leaner production. These projects together form one of the most fascinating hidden chapters in Asian psychedelic pop history. Long overlooked outside Southeast Asia, the October Cherries and their Truck offshoots are finally being rediscovered -- a kaleidoscopic bridge between Beatles-inspired pop and early '70s studio experimentation. Remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes and download card. RIYL: Beatles, Bee Ges, Tin Tin, Aerovons, Badfinger, Fading Yellow Comps.

From Singapore to Belgium to Abbey Road, The October Cherries reinvented themselves again and again -- Truck, Col. Truck, Jade & Pepper -- leaving behind a trail of dazzling Beatlesque pop-psych. Originally released in 1974 in Singapore/Malaysia, Truck's Surprise! Surprise! re-arranged songs first released on the Cherries Dreamseller album and sounds like it could've been part of the '60s British psych era but filtered through early '70s production: melodic, Beatles/Badfinger-influenced English vocals, catchy songs, lush arrangements, fuzz and wah wah guitar, electric piano, and cool analog synth/Moog which gives the album a wonderful unique vibe. Featuring "Earth Song," included by the late Trish Keenan of Broadcast in her celebrated Motorway Mix. This was one of the earliest Guerssen reissues, first released in 2004. Out of print for many years, the label now presents a new, updated edition. Features original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Remastered sound in 24-bit domain. Includes insert with liner notes and photos, as well as download card.

Official reissue of this sought-after Canadian psychedelic hard-rock album from 1970. Formed in Toronto in the late '60s, It's All Meat (the name was taken from a dog food commercial!) soon caught the attention of influential character Jack London (frontman of pre-Steppenwolf band Jack London and the Sparrows) who managed the band and secured a deal with major label Columbia Records. After recording their first 45, the proto-punk MC5/Stones sounding "Feel It," the band started working on their first album with the tandem of Jed MacKay and Rick McKim as main songwriters. It's All Meat was released in 1970 and offered a powerful mix of garage-rock, psychedelia and early hard-rock, drawing influences from bands like the Stones, Country Joe & The Fish, Doors, Velvet Underground -- tracks like "Roll My Own" or the lysergic "Crying Into The Deep Lake" are now considered classics of the genre. Sadly, the band would split soon after the LP was released. Remastered sound in 24-bit domain. Includes booklet with liner notes by Plastic Crimewave and rare photos/memorabilia. Features seven bonus tracks including non-LP singles and rare tracks.

Since its discovery in the late '90s, Dave Bixby's legendary $2000 private press album from 1969 is considered by all serious record collectors as the King in the loner/downer folk genre. First reissued by Guerssen back in 2009, the label now presents a new, improved edition with newly sourced/remastered sound and extras. After being involved in '60s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby started playing acoustic guitar and experimenting with LSD. After a year of drug abuse he felt broken. Starting a soul-searching, spiritual journey, he wrote Ode to Quetzalcoatl and most of the material for his second album, Harbinger's Second Coming in just one month and a half. Assisted by fellow musician Brian MacInness, who played some guitar parts on the album, Dave recorded Quetzalcoatl using an echo-laden four track machine in a flat's living room. The sound is lo-fi and sparse: just acoustic guitars and some occasional harmonica and flute, added to Bixby's haunting, emotional vocals, spiritual lyrics and solid songwriting. The opening cut, the eerie and painful "Drug Song" sets the mood perfectly for the rest of the album which contains more tormented titles like "666," "Lonely faces," "Open Doors," and "Secret Forest." Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Restored and remastered in 24-bit domain at Grammy Award-winning Osiris Studio. Includes insert with detailed liner notes plus rare pictures and lyrics. Also features extra insert with the map/story of Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby, as well as download card.

Psychedelic hard-rock Holy Grail, originally released by this Greek band in 1976 but sounding more akin to late '60s/early '70s. Highly recommended to fans of heavy-fuzz guitars, think Dark, Fire, Open Mind, or even Spacemen 3 circa Revolution. The 4 Levels Of Existence (Τα 4 Επίπεδα Της Ύπαρξης) formed around 1974 in Athens from the ashes of a band called Frog's Eyes. Some of their influences were groups like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Who, or Iron Butterfly as well as traditional Greek music. They recorded their sole album in just ten hours with no overdubs and it was eventually released (500 copies only) on the small Venus label. The cover artwork was created by guitar player Athanasios Alatas. The band sadly split soon after but they left behind one of the most legendary and sought after albums not only from Greece but also from the worldwide heavy-prog scene. Remastered sound with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve with OBI. Insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby) and rare photos / memorabilia. Includes "Someday In Athens," sampled on "Run This Town" by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna and Kanye West.

Retrospective of British mod/freakbeat/pop-art heroes The Eyes including all their cult classic 45s ("When The Night Falls," "I'm Rowed Out," "My Degeneration") plus cool rare tracks sourced from demos and acetates. Formed in London in 1964, The Eyes took the early feedback experiments and pop art image of bands like the Who one step further. The band wore dyed parkas in various pastel colors and brightly colored rugby shirts with huge eye symbols on the chest. Their raw, energetic sound and distinctive style combined aggressive, fuzz-driven guitar riffs with catchy melodies and a youthful defiance that captured the energy of the London mod scene. Their music bridged rawness freakbeat with the emerging psychedelic sound that would dominate the latter half of the decade. Tracks like the feedback-laden "When The Night Falls" or the fuzzed-out "You're Too Much" sounded years ahead of its time and they would influence the mod, garage revival and indie/shoegaze scene of the following decades. The Eyes only released a handful of singles between 1965 and 1966. They disbanded in 1967 and unfortunately they never released a full album during their short lifespan. Here it is! Remastered sound. Includes eight-page color insert with liner notes by Paul "Smiler" Anderson and rare photos/memorabilia, along with download card.

Absolute monster when talking about US hard-rock/proto-doom private pressings. Hailing from Florida, Bolder Damn released this beast in 1971. Ultra-heavy, "raw-in-your-face" sound with loud fuzzed-out guitar, solid rhythm section and manic vocals. Bolder Damn formed in 1969 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The original lineup consisted of John Anderson on vocals and rhythm guitar, Glenn Eaton on lead guitar, Ron Refett on bass, Mark Gaspard on keyboards, and Bob Eaton on drums. Initially performing covers, they gradually incorporated original material into their sets. Their energetic live performances led them to open for notable acts such as Alice Cooper, MC5, The Amboy Dukes, and Blue Cheer. In 1971, after Gaspard's departure, the remaining members recorded their sole album, Mourning, at Hyperbolic Studios in Florida. The recording session lasted only four hours, resulting in a raw, in-your-face heavy sound. The album was privately pressed with approximately 200 copies distributed mainly to friends, family, and local fans. Side 2 featured the 16-minute epic "Dead Meat," which reflects the band's heavy, proto-doom style, reminiscent of contemporaries like Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer. In 1972 Anderson and Refett were drafted into military service during the Vietnam War, leading to Bolder Damn's dissolution. Comes with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI. Remastered sound. Fold-out insert with liner notes/interview with singer John Anderson and rare pictures. Includes download card. RIYL: Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Pentagram, MC5, Sainte Anthony's Fyre.

Top-shelf previously unreleased psychedelic pop from 1967-68 by this post-Lomax Alliance Anglo-American trio. A mix of West Coast/Swingin' London sounds with killer vocal harmonies, fuzz guitar, tape/studio effects. Think psych-era Beatles, Byrds, Nazz, Buffalo Springfield, Colours, and The Moon. The convulsed story of Rain involves Brian Epstein, The Beatles, Merseybeat, Liverpool, New York, Linda Eastman (who photographed the band) and more. Basically, when the Brian Epstein-managed band Lomax Alliance parted ways with their frontman Jackie Lomax (who was about to embark on a George Harrison-assisted solo career), his colleagues in Lomax Alliance -- guitarist John Cannon, bassist Tom Caccetta and drummer Bugs Pemberton -- left London behind to relocate to New York, where they changed their name to Rain (after his favorite Beatles track) and recorded a full album with producer Chris Huston (The Undertakers, Young Rascals). Despite the outstanding production, top notch songwriting and superb musicianship, the album never left the acetate stage. The trio played at the Fillmore and did more studio work under the Gypsy Wizards Band name that remained also unreleased, before disbanding in 1969. Tomorrow Never Comes includes all the tracks from the Rain acetate, recorded 1967-68, plus two songs from the Gypsy Wizards Band one (1968-69). Vintage styled artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Remastered sound. Includes Insert with liner notes by David Wells and rare photos/memorabilia.

In 1968, Weird Herald released a now sought-after promo only 45 with the songs "Saratoga James"/'Just Yesterday." That 45 was part of a full album that was never released. Music ranges from haunting, beautiful folk-rock with spacey acoustic guitar playing and delicate vocal harmonies, cool laid-back country-folk, to energetic hard-rockers à la early Moby Grape or Jefferson Airplane with stunning electric leads. Not forgetting "Where I'm Bound" which has a cool Notorious Byrd Brothers feel. Hailing from Los Gatos in California, Weird Herald featured two accomplished guitar players who are local legends in the San Jose / Santa Cruz area, Billy Dean Andrus and Paul Ziegler. Their roots can be traced to the early San Jose folk / coffeehouse scene. Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna) was a close friend and used to jam with them. Billy Dean Andrus was Skip Spence's best friend since high school and they both used to perform as a folk duo in the early days. A fantastic rhythm section, Cecil Bollinger on bass and Pat McIntire on drums rounded the band. Sadly, in 1970 Billy Dean Andrus died of a drug overdose in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He was immortalized on the songs "Ode for Billy Dean" written by Jorma Kaukonen for Hot Tuna and "Chicago" by the Doobie Brothers. Paul Ziegler ended up joining up Hot Tuna in the early '70s. He passed away in 2000. Problems with the management/producers led to the planned album being shelved and, according to legend, the master tapes destroyed. Luckily, reel-to-reel copies have remained with the Andrus family for half over a century, unheard until now. Includes eight-page insert with detailed liner notes by Cam Cobb (authors of Weighted Down: The Complicated Life Of Skip Spence) with input from the Andrus family and the surviving Weird Herald members and rare photos. Comes with download card with 11 previously unreleased bonus tracks, including basement demos from 1967 by the first line-up of the band. RIYL: Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, Milk Carton Kids, Buffalo Springfield, Maitreya Kali, Everly Brothers, Psychedelic Rock, Folk-Rock, Loner Folk.

West Coast psychedelia/bluesy acid-rock by this true hippie band led by the legendary Merrell Fankhauser (Fapardokly, HMS Bounty) and genius guitar player Jeff Cotton (Captain Beefheart Magic Band). This is their classic and sought after first album from 1971. Remastered sound with original artwork in hard cardboard silver foil sleeve like the original. Includes insert with lyrics, photos and extensive liner notes by Patrick Lundborg.
"The mix of bluesy urban LA exhaust fume vibes and tribal desert mystique is as archetypal an early 1970s SoCal trip as you can find. With strong songwriting and a pro-level recording, the album is given a clear musical identity via the excellent slide guitar, harmony vocals, and occasional sax." --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives)

Vivid peyote-induced psychedelia from Texas sounding like an impossible meld between the Elevators and the Velvet Underground, but possessing a strongly unique disposition. Recorded in 1970 but never released at the time, featuring future members of Roky Erickson's backing band Bleib Alien/The Aliens. Formed in Austin in the late 1960s by visionary lyricist and autoharp player Billy Bill Miller and his friend Tom McGarrigle on guitar, Cold Sun evolved from a band called Cauldron (later Amethyst) which at one point featured drummer John Kearney from Roky Erickson's first band The Spades. Miller, a proto-Goth figure always dressed in black, highly influenced by Joe Meek and vintage sci-fi/horror movies, started to experiment with weird noises out of his electrified autoharp, favoring the audio-oriented drug mescaline over the LSD associated with hippies. Amethyst jammed with musicians such as Benny Thurman from the 13th Floor Elevators and Steve Webb from the Lost And Found. The definitive Amethyst line-up, with Hugh Patton on drums and Mike Waugh on bass, played at venues like the I.L. Club, a historical landmark of Austin blues and psychedelic music. It was through Mike Waugh's friendship with Elevators drummer John Ike Walton that Billy Miller and the band hooked up with the local label/studio Sonobeat, who expressed interest in recording an album with the intention to shop it to a major label: thus, the now-legendary Cold Sun album was born. The band, driven by Miller's strange electrified autoharp sounds plus the massive fuzz guitar of McGarrigle, dressed with feedback and futuristic lyrics, laid down several tracks in between rehearsals at Miller's house on Castle Hill. Never released at the time, the Cold Sun album languished in oblivion and the musicians moved on to other things. It wasn't until 1990 that the Cold Sun album was finally released on vinyl by the Rockadelic label, followed by a new edition on German label World In Sound in 2008, now out of print. For this new edition, Guerssen has tried to imagine how the Cold Sun album could have looked like if it had been actually released in 1970. It comes with vintage styled artwork by psychedelic illustrator Callum Rooney. Sourced from the same audio master as the original Rockadelic LP, the sound has been vastly improved thanks to the meticulous and careful restoration/remastering by audiophile engineer Ezra Lesser.

With their roots traced in two legendary '60s garage bands, The Outcasts and The Stoics, Homer were without doubt one the best psychedelic/hard-rock outfits coming out from Texas. Grown in U.S.A was their only album, released as a private pressing in 1970. Rural psychedelic rock with early prog hints fueled by stunning lead/dual guitar, melodic vocals and occasional mellotron. Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI, with newly sourced and remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

Restocked. US psych holy grail from 1969. Killer Doorsy organ and fuzzed-out guitars, including all-time psychedelic classics like "Colors," "Workshop," and "Mind Machine." Transplanted from Portland to the Sunset Strip, Hunger played at all the hip places, rubbing shoulders with bands like Hour Glass (pre-Allman Brothers), the Doors, and Steppenwolf. In 1969 they released Strictly from Hunger for the small Public label. Highly sought after, Guerssen is proud to present a straight reissue of such collectable album. Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve plus OBI, with remastered sound and insert with liner notes and rare photos by Clark Faville.

2025 restock. One of the rarest psychedelic garage albums ever, the Kaleidoscope album was recorded in the Dominican Republic by this Boricuan/Dominican band but released only in Mexico in 1969 as a tiny pressing, housed in a fantastic psychedelic sleeve designed by Bodo Molitor. Acid fuzz guitars, organ, demented vocals. Impossible to find in its original form, here's a welcomed reissue. Remastered sound. Original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Enrique Rivas and rare photos.

GUESS 260LP

Heavy-progressive, proto-metal and psychedelic hard-rock from the depths of the UK underground, 1970-71. Formed in Preston by the core of Pete Hughes (lead guitar) and Mick Carroll (vocals, rhythm guitar), Stoned Rose evolved from a band called Five Steps Beyond and at one time featured Chris Allen on bass (later of Ultravox). The band worked with a London agency called Nemesis and also with Tramps from Birmingham (owned by Black Sabbath guitarist Toni Iommi). Stoned Rose played several times at notable venues like the Temple and the Cavern and also at underground and progressive clubs and Universities, sharing stage with bands like Stray, May Blitz, and Blonde On Blonde. Exhumed from rare as hell acetates (including a Deroy one) and demo tapes, here's the first ever Stoned Rose album. File next to Bent Wind! Includes insert with liner notes by David Wells and rare photos/memorabilia.
