From my own vast private collection gathered over last 45 years ...these mostly from 1973 - 1978I had my own Record Store here in Northern California in the 1970 s and 80 s -and bringing in wonderfully vibrant and amazing Progressive Rock Imports was a top specialty and priority - I was still am so nuts about this music that I had 3 different evolving weekly Radio Programs dedicated to it over 20 years - and loved nothing more than turning folks on to these bands and immersing myself and my audience in these exotic sounds.
Now it is finally time for me to pass them on - my hardest LPs to part with, some 8 boxes of which I shall be listing throughout this Spring.
Many of the leading progenitors of the 1st progressive era, but quite a few more obscure but no less amazing artists of the period..
Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and can only get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming approximately every other week as I pause between, to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping so keep checking back.
This leads me to the subject of collecting purchases for combined shipping with further purchases, which some ask for.
I am happy to save LPs that are purchased for up to 30 days IF YOU ASK Me to - but I MUST receive payment within 7 days of initial purchase.
I honestly cannot afford to sell these and not get paid by big buyers for 30 days.
I would be absolutely ruined - so payment must be received within 7 days of purchase.
Your note on your PayPal payment to HOLD items for combined shipping later no more than 30 days out will guarantee their being saved aside for your further bidding.
When you state that you are done, your invoice will be revised to reflect complete shipping discount at that time.
If you DO NOT ASK me to hold, it will Ship within 24 hours.
CHECK MY FEEDBACK, I am ALWAYS 100 RELIABLE on this.
International bidders note that any package over 4 Lbs.
usually 5 to 6 LPs or more MUST ship by PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
US Post Office no longer ships above that weight at the lower, slower 1st Class International rate..The vinyl here is in uniformly spectacular condition Most being EX to NM always extremely carefully handled.
Some of the covers have minor issues - a small handful have significant issues, but the great majority are in VG to EX condition.
Almost everything offered here is Original 1st Press - Full Details for each given in below.
SPECIAL NOTE:I had planned SOUND CLIPS to accompany many of these listings, but the online AUDIO FILE host/management site I use has now gone bust, NEVERTHELESS, I not knowing did indeed record a slew of sound clips.
If you are curious on any of these, ask me - and if I have made the short mp3 samples for it, I will try to get it to you.

With one previous album that they disowned Gommorha went into the Studio with a very impressed Conny Plank in early 1972 - and in 4 days finished the amazing, fully developed 6 songs on this hard hitting, ominous and apocalyptic album.
Long tracks loaded with heavy psychedelic space rock Even though, in 1972, they were ahead of their times Krautrock was barely a known term yet and the budding German prog and electronic scenes were still very marginalized with small disparate cult followings the newly founded Brain Records recognized the potential of this band from the Rhineland and gave them full artistic liberty in recording what was to become their only official album - and a lost classic.
Gomorrha used the chance to create an influential document of German rock music that underwent a period of radical change at that time.
Following the brave ambition to give German rock music an adequate forum, Brain did the logical thing when they decided to support and promote Gomorrha.
However, time was not ripe for an individual German rock consciousness.
The fans still unquestioningly followed the impulses coming from Great Britain and the US and overlooked - at least initially - the struggling movement of independent German rock bands.
Gomorrha fell victim to the spirit of that time.
The musicians were not prepared to take the insecurities that come with life as an artist, so they split up in 1973 and went back to their regular jobs.
None of the musicians undertook any other musical endeavours, so the album at hand remains the only proof of the talent of Gomorrha and their historical importance.Peter Otten lead vocals, writing / Eberhard Krietsch organ / Ad Ochel, Ali Claudi guitars / Mike Eulner bass / Helmut Pohl drums A1Dance On A Volcano10:07A2Opening Of The Sealed Book5:46A3Dead Life3:54B1I Turned To See Whose Voice It Was7:46B2I Try To Change This World9:30B3Tititsh Child6:57 This original 1st Press BRAIN issue is extremely scarce.The vinyl on this one is superb.
