Easy Chair "s/t" Col-LP 38,00 €

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:31:37 +0100

Long expected and now re-issued for the first time - Easy Chair’s 1968 one-sided album with a running time of 20 minutes is one of the most sought-after Northwest psych-underground records of all time. Original copies have been sold for over 1,000 US$. Correctly remembered as psychedelic rock pioneers, they crammed an amazing career into only one year of activity. Easy Chair performed with the Yardbirds, Cream and the Mothers of Invention. Their epic Westcoast blues features a unique guitar chemistry of Larson’s psychedelic leads and Kirby’s fluid lines and hypnotic chording. Their jam-excursions were always satisfying. They played lots of original material and it is known that a complete live-gig was recorded when EC opened for The Mothers at the Shrine Auditorium, L.A. - but the tape seems to be lost (forever).

By end of 1968 they caught the attention of Zappa´s crew and signed a record contract with Bizarre Records to be promoted together with Alice Cooper. Too soon then Easy Chair broke up, but together with EC´s drummer Al Malosky, multi-instrumentalist Simmons recorded the “Naked Angels“ Soundtrack (re-released by WIS in 2008). After releasing his solo album “Lucille Has Messed my Mind up“ in 1969, Jeff joined The Mothers. Carefully remastered from the original mastertape - you´ll get definitive 1968 psychedelia with three haunting and unforgettable long songs, that have the impact of a full length album! Limited edition of 100 pieces, handmade cover, handnumbered, 180g colored vinyl plus posters, extended liners/bio and rare memorabilia!

Strawberry Window "s/t" LP + 7" 32,00 €

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:59:39 +0200

Strawberry Window hailed from the San Francisco Bay Area´s East Bay music scene in the mid 60s and were truly one of the early birds and innovators who made their own distinct brand of Rock ´n´ Roll. They played a heavy-psychedelic-garage style, sounding somewhat reminiscent of the Jefferson Airplane, early Mad River, Buffalo Springfield, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Frumious Bandersnatch. These previously unreleased recordings have survived for the last four decades in a box on a shelf in a band member´s closet.

Meticulous care and detail has been taken to master these recordings with a fresh, open approach, while ensuring that the sound and integrity of the vintage songs remained intact. The amazing music of this guitar based quartet ranges from catchy electric folk tunes and West Coast garage rock to raw energetic acid jams lasting over 10 minutes. You´ll be impressed by the great stereo sound quality throughout their ten original cuts, not to mention their freaky cover version of J D Loudermilk´s "Tobacco Road". It´s an outright shame that this talented bunch were not signed to a record deal back then.

Then again, that´s okay with us because it has allowed World In Sound the opportunity to proudly present for the first time ever, the music of and the history behind this talented group of songwriters and wild performers known as the Strawberry Window. The Strawberry Window release contains 65 minutes of intense but melodic performances and comes with a 16 page color booklet that will take you on a trip back to the halcyon days of the Summer Of Love.

By the way in 1968 they switched guitar players, added a girl singer and changed their name to the Dandelion Wine. They recorded several songs and also released a private pressing of a 4 song 7" EP.

Jones Family Band "An Electrified Joint Effort" LP 28,00 €

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 21:10:48 +0100

Formerly unreleased, stoned and eastern sounding psychedelic/garage rock by Joint Effort from Detroit. A different session was already released on CD by WIS. Amazing passionate songs in the early Stooges, Country Joe and the Fish-veins. In 1973 bandleader and singer Val Zukowski founded the short living electrified "Jones Family Band" playing heavy psych blues and garage music with incredible wah-wah guitar leads a la Hendrix. Those cuts also remind sometimes of The Fraction or Bentwint. One of the best and freaked out releases of US 70s Psychedelic Garage Underground!

Modulo 1000 "Nao Fale Com Paredes" LP 36,00 €

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:38:43 +0200

Modulo 1000 is one of Brasil´s most famous progressive rock bands of the early 1970s. Their only album from 1971 became legendary in the collectors scene as one of the weirdest South American psych albums. The music is a synergy of British and American heavy rock (Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin) and obscure Exotica. As Luiz Simas (organ) remembers: "The music of Modulo 1000 had its own appeal to an audience that wanted a heavy, raw, experimental, psychedelic sound. Our kind of music did not make it to the radio stations. It was too wild. The distribution of the record was done in a very limited way. The record label directors, which probably didn't understand or even didn't like our music, did zero promotion for the LP." This LP is highly recommended as one of the most terrific psychedelic, artistic statements of the 70s progressive hippie-era!

Travelers Aid "Corduroy Roads" LP 38,00 €

Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:11:12 +0200

Travelers Aid from California began 1964 as an important part of the sixties punk/surf movement with the name The Torquays and published some singles. Their "Corduroy Roads" album was recorded in 1970, but only 100 copies were pressed. It represents a perfect synergy between sixties punk and psychedelic rock. Here´s the first reissue!

Gold "San Francisco Origins" LP + 7" 40,00 €

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 22:19:18 +0200

This previously unreleased LP-edition contains an important part of S.F. underground history with GOLD´s first incarnation with Leadsinger Richard Coco, known from the "No Parking" 45RPM already released on LP by Rockadelic and on a CD-compilation "Nuggets from the Golden State" by Big Beat. Here you hear a live set at the Fillmore-West audition, a qualification gig for Bill Graham´s club circuit, which was successfully passed. Gigs at Winterland and Fillmore-West followed. These 42 minutes reach the highest level of power and a unique kind of heavy acidrock sound (containing a 6 min. killer version of "No Parking"), bizarre Rock ´n´ Roll vocals, Ed Scott´s hypnotic rhythm guitar, mindblowing bass and drums create an outstanding and surrounding flow.

Joe Bajza´s soaring solo guitar played in a kind of aggressive Cipollina / Jeff Beck style is brilliantly intense. This combination brings true Sixties S.F. Hell´s Angels party feeling to your home. Also included are an extra their 45 RPM incl. the previously un-reissued flipside of "No Parking", a 4:45 minute sensitive but totally unexpected version of Gershwin´s "Summertime" produced by Country Joe McDonald. Then there´s a poster and great liner notes that reflect the golden sprit of the late 60s early 70s in San Francisco.

Michael James "Runaway World" LP 30,00 €

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:34:55 +0100

A great artifact for all 60s and 70s music collectors. Original copies in good condition change hands for about 500 US$. The spirit of the music is a tasty combination between aggressive fuzz-garage-hard rock and atmospheric psych-folk with moody vocals and a poetic message, comparable to World In Sound´s legendary Phantasia (WIS-1015) or Dr. Hooker. Beside perfectly arranged songs like "You Don´t Walk On My Street", "I Remember" and the psych-trip "Sleepers", you´ll hear weird spoken word themes as "Guatamalan Strange" or "Electronic Silver" and heavy-riff instrumentals.

This was the debut release by Michael James who´s still active in the music business with his own label Empath Records and the groups Children of the Risk, Michael Yonkers and Mounting Santa feat. Dr. Fink of Prince´s Revolution, which have 4 bonustracks on this release. This LP-reissue is produced from the original analog master tapes. So, look forward to this great album by a unique rock artist like none you've heard!

Sproton Layer "With Magnetic Fields Disrupted" LP 30,00 €

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 15:10:33 +0100

SPROTON LAYER was a psychedelic rock band based in Ann Arbor Michigan, which thrived from the fall of 1968 through the summer of 1970. They began under the name Freak Trio as three hyperactive brothers Laurence, Ben and Roger Miller who, at the young ages of 14-16, became addicted to Pink Floyd´s "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" when it came out in 1967! Their unique and euphoric creation of music ranges from progressive-acid-punk to heavy psychedelia with Spaghetti Western Ennio Morricone flashes, with epic results.

The energy of "With Magnetic Fields Disrupted", which was recorded in 1970, is just unbelievable. Twelve strong, intense space music episodes of destruction and rebirth with NO FILLERS! Journalist Michael Azerrad described their recordings in his book OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE as "a valuable document of an amazing band that sounded like Syd Barrett fronting Cream". The album was first released in 1991 by New Alliance Records, but it did not get much recognition among the 60s collector freaks.

Here is the next chance to discover the whole story of one of the "almost forgotten" US underground art-performance groups. Forty minutes long, the album was remastered from the original tapes, creating a fresh, organic and punchy sound. The booklet features extended band info and about four dozen artifacts including drawings, set lists, photographs, journal entries and more. After Sproton Layer, all Miller brothers contributed to numerous bands such as Destroy All Monsters, Mission Of Burma, and M3. Truly a mind-expanding album!

Freeman Sound & Friends "Heavy Trip" LP + 7" 32,00 €

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 10:09:57 +0200

Another group that represents the late 60s, early 70s heavy psychedelic era scene in northeast Ohio, USA (same region of Dragonwyck). Having won the Starshine Productions' "Battle of the Bands" in 1970, the five-member FREEMAN SOUND was established as the most popular of several bands (including Morly Grey), that had records released on the Starshine label. This special collection of original songs and sounds is an exciting bit of rock history that documents some of the charm, wit and depth of talent that made FREEMAN SOUND the special local phenomenon they were. This release includes 12 great, quality tracks with bio and photos.

You'll get stoned on some mind-bending vocals backed by instrumentation that includes some very intense, heavy fuzz and wah-guitar sounds, solid drums and a screaming organ with flashes of famous British groups. Prepare to get off on cuts like the 17 minute "Heavy Trip #70", the Hendrix-like "Tomorrow Is Plastic" and what we would venture to say is the heaviest version of Merle Travis' "16 Tons" ever recorded! This band broke up before they were able to make the most of their popularity. With this previously unreleased album, they may be taking up where they left off. For fans of intelligently executed psychedelic hard rock and pop with a message.

Cosmic Dealer "Child Of Tomorrow" Col-LP + 7" 36,00 €

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:31:37 +0100

This is the second previously unreleased album by the Dutch psychedelic hard rock band Cosmic Dealer. Their first album "Crystallization" from 1971 is an outstanding and rare masterpiece for all psych collectors and for sure one of the best Euro-Underground rock albums of the 70s. In 1971 the band was shortly disband but found together in 1973 with a few line-up changes and kept the same musical intention: heavy psychedelic, progressive and guitar driven hard rock, with catchy songwriting, a few US-Westcoast flashes but also extended instrumental jam excursions.

This album contains 6 songs which were recorded in 1973, plus 3 demos from 1971 and as bonus you´ll find a 7"EP with 4 live cuts (25 mins) which were recorded in 1971, including the title track from their debut "Crystallization". The album is is carefully re-mastered to catch the real spirit of the beautiful music and contains a poster and lots of photos and linernotes. Definitely a must-have piece for all 60s psych freaks! Heavy handmade cover and 180g amber colored vinyl.

Darius "s/t" LP 42,00 €

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:01:03 +0100

This legendary 1969 LA release of Darius, originally released on Chartmaker Records, is one of the all time classics for 60s collectors. Darius the psychedelic "King" is an extraordinary songwriter, poet and singer with a very remarkable voice. His identity was a secret for over 30 years, the detailed booklet-bio tells his story. On these recordings he was backed by the fantastic musicians Jerry Scheff, Ben Benay and Toxey French. Well known in the LA studio-scene, they recorded the album "Goldenrod". Darius´ 10 original tunes catch the spirit of psychedelic Rock´n´Roll on Sunset Strip Hollywood by the late 60s. This was his only album release and includes 3 unreleased bonus tracks and booklet. Limited edition of 500 copies!

Joe Peace "Finding Peace Of Mind" LP 32,00 €

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 11:43:05 +0100

Hippie singer and songwriter Joe Peace recorded and released his only album privately in Ohio in 1972 after being a long time on the road. Inspired by his road trip and by his idol Johnny Rivers, he created 10 original, emotional & poetic themes. The music is a combination of garage, folk and rock, partly with stunning fuzz guitars but also acoustic, always with energetic vocals. Truly an atmospheric album, first time available as vinyl-reissue! Ltd. edition, heavy/handmade gatefold cover with insert, 180 g vinyl.

Easy Chair "s/t" LP 30,00 €

Ellison "s/t" LP 47,00 €

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 20:51:17 +0200

This heavy psychedelic quartet from Quebec recorded their only album in 1971. Among collectors it is loved as an early hardrock masterpiece with melancholic moments and intense songs. The lyrics describe drug experiences. This WIS-version contains a bandstory and unseen photos in a foldout cover. Strictly limited edition of 500 copies!

Trevor McNamara "Yeah Captain" LP 30,00 €

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 23:03:15 +0200

First World In Sound reissue from Australia, "Yeah Captain" from 1969 was the first album of that kind which was produced in Down-Under, a true milestone! Original albums are nearly impossible to find. The music here is influenced by British electric singer and songwriters but also by early Pink Floyd and ranges between psychedelic, experimental folk and heavy rock in a fabulous and individual style. Trevor sang and played all instruments (all guitars, drums, flute, Moog, piano, cello). He created a perfect and fresh sound. Contains additional artistic statements by Trevor in form of paintings and 2 bonus tracks (McNamara´s 45 rpm), also recorded at Nationwide Recordings Adelaide. A recommended piece of music by one man with various talents.

Bruce Hamana "Hamana" LP 30,00 €

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 07:56:25 +0100

Hamana´s debut album recorded in 1974, was issued on the local Phoenix label Canyon Records. To most of the 60´s psychedelic rock/folk fans this is almost an unknown album, original pressings seem to have disappeared. Only a few copies are known in collectors hands. Bruce Hamana, a native American, is member of the Hopi Tribe and in 1969 went to college near San Francisco to live in the white man´s world. Instead of traditional native American themes he felt like writing "modern, revolutionary, contemporary music". The result, as you hear on this album, is powerful and melodic and expresses perfectly the sunny California peace, love & freedom feeling, but also contains a social-critical message.

The music itself is emotive with strong vocals, lots of Westcoast psychedelic guitar flashes, a bit garage feeling but also Loner Folk with Native American elements. The appeal of this album reminds of Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Byrds, X.I.T, Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield and Garrett Lund. Nearly unbelievable that on these recordings all instruments, bass, guitars, vocals and drums have been played by Hamana himself. This LP-reissue is a mastertape release licensed by Canyon Records and contains an 8 page booklet and 2 unreleased bonustracks. Highly recommended!

Marcus "From The House Of Tracks" LP + CD 32,00 €

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 10:09:57 +0200

First official release by the legendary 1979 private recorded space rock album of Marcus and his band. This top memorabilia album shows intense, passionate and poetic songwriting. Sometimes desperate, sometimes mystical but always deep in instrumentation and interpretation. It comes close to the sixties acid folk blend with electrified heavy guitars and various space effects. Contains a very informative bio, couple of photos, 2 bonustracks and extra CD with a 20 minute live performance video (great quality extra 7 bonustracks) playable on computer and audiosystem. An all-time classic not just for psychedelic collectors!

Trizo 50 "s/t" LP + 7" 32,00 €

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 13:05:04 +0100

TRIZO 50 (post-Phantasia) added a new member on keyboards Bob DePugh. He´s the younger brother of drummer John DePugh. The band recorded more than 100 songs on a 4-track tape recorder during 1973-74. A cross-section was released on a demo album (25 copies). The band introduction on this demo says "Excuse the technical shortcomings. What we want you to notice are the songs, the sound, and the fact that we are exactly what the market is looking for and what the upcoming rock generation is looking for.". Listening to that album you will agree.

The musical spectrum ranges from straight 2-minute psychedelic beat, garage, bubblegum tunes with harmony vocals, pounding organ and excessive fuzz and reminds of likes as Seeds, Stooges, Yardbirds, goes over to distorted "Zappaesque" hardrock cuts into raga acid folk! Trizo 50´s music continues the outstanding, individual and very surprising songwriting of Phantasia. This release includes 22 original cuts. All songs have been carefully remastered and were taken from the original reel-to-reel tapes.

Dragonwyck "s/t" LP + 10" 45,00 €

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 15:16:08 +0200

This LP release is the first of a WIS-Dragonwyck trilogy. The group from Cleveland (OH) was one of the most promising bands in that area, opened shows for bands as Foghat, Golden Earring, Edgar Winter Group etc. The mood of the music is dark, mystic and strong influenced of the times´ spirit and the hippie age. Anything goes! Shortly after highschool in 1970, the 5 guys recorded 7 tracks, released a test pressing on Pama Records in an edition of only 85 copies. It was reissued in the 1990s by Rockadelic Records as a limited edition on LP and CD, since then this band is a milestone for all heavy/psychedelic music collectors.

Jim Morrison and The Doors brought main inspiration to Dragonwyck´s music with the small difference that songs are heavier and more progressive. The sound is not just dominated by great vocals, there are lots of freaked out heavy guitar solos and swirling Hammond B3 organ, which bring an individual note to the music. This LP is done from the mastertape which once seemed to be lost, a bio, photos and the original artwork supposed for the album that never came out (gatefold cover). Extra included are a poster and a bonus 10" EP with 5 bonus tracks (3 unreleased).

Cosmic Dealer "Child Of Tomorrow" LP + 7" 32,00 €

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 18:13:10 +0200
