SAVAGES - Black Scorpio, INDIA 1973 (SHADOKS 105) LP 450 numbered / glossy heavy gatefold GIMMIC sleeve / 180 gram pressing The Savages recorded, Black Scorpio, the rarest album from India, in Bombay 1973. Beside another live album this is the only album they did. An original of this beauty has been recently sold on ebay for over $ 3000. This heavy garage band with great musical potential, is as good as the best tracks from the wellknown albums of the Simla Beat compilations. Heavy fuzz-guitar, organ, tough vocals, driving beats, wailing guitars - doorsey feeling all over. Some original songs and lots of good cover versions in India style underground. The original album came out with a die-cut gimmic sleeve, so this reissue has the same gimmic sleeve. click here to listen to the mp3 sound samples |

STRANGE - Souvenir Album, USA 1974/76 (SHADOKS 106) LP 450 numbered / glossy heavy sleeve / 180 gram pressing / Insert The Strange are from Olympia, WA close to the Canadian border. The Strange are Tom Hackett, Robert Rensel, David Chamberlain, Rick Rackleff plus Mike Pitcher, Don Morris & Carl Dexter. This art-rock-underground band recorded the Souvenir Album over a period of several years released in a tiny pressing in 1976 on the Yantis Record label. With a touch of westcoast music and lots of Mothers of Invention influences, this album is really something special. As special as The Spoils Of War and as complex as Time and Think Dog, with Frank Zappa style wah-wah guitar, great vocals, piano, effects, some horns, and a well-balanced mixture of heavy psych guitar tracks and twisted underground folk tunes. If you think the first Spoils Of War album on Shadoks is a great album and the early Mothers albums are the ones you always kept you will be very very happy with this album. If you want to hear what the band sound like now you should check out THE GRUFS-Coming Back For More album click here to listen to the mp3 sound samples |

LP LIVERPOOL - Por Favor, Sucesso + EP LIVERPOOL - Marcelo Zona Sul Brazil 1969 / 1970 (SHADOKS 107) LP + EP 450 numbered / glossy heavy sleeve / 180 gram pressing / plus EP with sleeve Liverpool is one of our favored bands from Brazil. The LP Por Favor, Sucesso (Please, Success) comes together with the ultra-rare 7 inch EP Marcelo Zona Sul, a Brazilian movie from 1970. (you can watch a film-clip on youtube.com) This Flower Power Art Rock album stands out among the other Brazilian Psych album. It is as good as Modolu 1000 but with better composed songs, influenced by the British Underground, with great guitars, hammond, effects, complex compositions, uplifting vocals with lots of soul, Allman Brothers style wailing guitars, wah-wah, sometimes sweat and mellow, sometimes extra heavy psychedelic---all with a great touch of Brazilian music. Perhaps one of the best albums from South America. All original tracks, 19 in total (including the 6 EP tracks). Enjoy this one click here to listen to the mp3 sound samples |

FREEDOMS CHILDREN - ASTRA - BATTLE HYMN OF THE BROKEN HEARTED HORDE - GALACTIC VIBES South Africa 1969/70/71 (SHADOKS 104) 3 CD Box limited 400 only, 3 CD in jewelcases, heavy box, insert The 3 CD Box Version of the 3 LP Box. Since the LP box is nearly sold out here is the CD Box version. Only 400 boxes, when they are gone each CD will be available as separate CD only without the Box! All 3 albums are possibly the most wanted albums ever from S.A. Some call them the PINK FLOYD of S.A. and if the political situation in S.A. would have been easier they would have had the same status in the international music market as Pink Floyd does. Beautiful composer songs, amazing instrument work, well-crafted guitar work and great singers. The extra heavy prog. sound beats most albums in the same direction coming from UK or USA. 3 master-pieces! |
