**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, we’re proud to present a new vinyl reissue of such legendary album.



*Sourced from the original master tapes



*8-page insert with detailed liner notes by Mike Stax with input by original member Robb Huxley and rare photos



“…a lost classic of the era…” – Mike Stax (Ugly Things)

Among the many forgotten bands of the late ’60s, few shine as brightly (and unjustly overlooked) as Singapore’s own the 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.



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 & 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, we present a new, updated edition.

“…hyper melodic music, hooks on top of hooks, mutated by weird synth sounds and sometimes nonsensical lyrics. It’s amazing to me that this album isn’t more well-known…”

Debut album by Korean psychedelic fuzz masters and the perfect introduction to Sanullim’s unique world.

Formed in the early 70s by the three Kim brothers while they were still in University, Sanullim managed to release their first album in 1977 despite censorship, misunderstanding from their record company and rudimentary recording techniques problems. Fuelled by piercing psychedelic fuzz guitars, Farfisa styled garage organ, keyboards and sweet melodies, the created a very unique sound, unheard in Korea at the time. Including some of their most iconic songs like “Already Now” and “"Likely Late Summer" (famous for its inclusion on the “Love, Peace & Poetry” series.

“Their debut album featured a blistering fuzz guitar sound that bleeds in and out of the mix as well as what sounds like a tinny Farfisa set behind the sweetest of pop vocal melodies, and the nine tracks stretch out into strangely hypnotic diversions. It’s easy to grasp how psych and garage heads coming to these tracks cold would find much to dig here, and also simple to see how the recordings could be mistaken for something cut many years earlier” – Hugh Dellar (Shindig!)

Fuzzed out psychedelia of the highest order by Korean legends SANULLIM.

This is their second album, originally released in 1978. It opens with the incredible title track, featuring an extended noisy fuzz guitar intro and which would become one of their most famous songs, especially live. The Kim brothers also dwell into abrasive garage-psych (“Let’s Sing”) melancholic fuzz ballads (“A Flower Blooming In The Haze”) and more!

“…the fuzz pedals were set to an even more intense level of stun than they were on Volume 1…”

“This time, whilst the fuzz guitar and strangely basic bass and drum patterns are more familiar, it’s the frequently gruff, howling vocals that are the most noticeably different element of the sound”
