The Chicago blues scene was rocked to its core when Koko Taylor hit the Windy City in the early '60s. The former Cora Walton's gutsy, hard-belting style quickly earned her the title "Queen of the Blues" - and she's kept her crown ever since. Deluxe Edition: Koko Taylor brings together her best performances from her first seven Alligator Records albums.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers is the fifth rock music album by The Byrds , released in 1968 on Columbia Records.

Brosel maschine combines the highly talented acoustic guitar playing of Peter Bursch (a master of the instrument who has published many instructional books on the subject), romantic vocals, and a mild Eastern influence highlighted by the use of sitar and flute. (1971).
(1969)
This is British duo Jan Hendin and Lorraine Lefevre, and their superb collection of acid-tinged folk and pop has been acclaimed as one of the best female psychedelic albums of the late 1960s, with contents varying from fragile ballads to rousing rock and roll, set to complex arr/ments and gorgeous vocal harmonies.

Very rare album(1970) by the Electric Prunes arranger who did "Release of an Oath" and "Mass in F Minor". The album has some vocals but is still filled with David's trademark arrangements (guitars / drums /bass /harpsichord /strings etc) and some beautiful psychedelic arrangements throughout.

U.S. folk-rock singer & songwriter Jake Holmes' second album, originally released in 1968 on the Tower label.

This enigmatic US quartet made only one album,which originally appeared in 1969 and has barely been heard since.It's classy combination of laid-back acoustic rock, power pop and gorgeous vocal harmonies, dappled with some tasty fuzz guitar.
(1966)
"Dirty Water" is their Tower debut. The title song is a Punk classic reproduced on numerous "Nuggets" type comps, and along with the five and-a-half minute b-side, "Rari" was recorded in Hollywood by Richard Podolor. Most of the remaining tracks - originals, covers, and songs written by Cobb.
