THE GEROGERIGEGEGE: Endless Humiliation; CD (1994) Japan Overseas – Rare
$150.00
Japan, Experimental, Field Recording, Japanoise, Avant Garde, Lo-fi, Juntaro, Gerogerigegege, Rare; CD (1994) - Ex Used condition
As with most Gerogerigegege releases, this one is another rare as shit Japanoise oddity. This release is one of the most eerie and haunting pieces of music juntaro ever bothered recording. It is also probably one of the gerogerigegege's most unique albums available to interested experimental Japanese music consumers. Apparently, the given description from the (Japanese) liner notes states that the entire cd is pretty much just a field recording of a drunk homeless japanese man rambling over the sounds of an incredibly distant piano. Probably the quietest work done by the group, its often thought to have been either a long winded work of social commentary, or a piece of music that Juntaro created for or about his mother, who was supposedly a rather famous japanese classical pianist. This original 1994 release CD has cover art consisting of 2 paragraphs written in japanese next to a black and white photograph taken by Juntaro of 2 little kids wearing rabbit masks in an unknown village. The back cover has a picture of a horse. This CD, although being quite stark and distant, is also rather unnerving. File under 'Uneasy Listening'.

SUN RA: with PHAROAH SANDERS & BLACK HAROLD; Cassette (Orb Tapes USA) 2021 re-issue
$15.00
Free Jazz, Space Jazz, Psychedelic Jazz, Sun Ra, Improv, Space, Psych, Cassette, Orb Tapes - New
In November 1964, a number of New York musicians (including Sun Ra) formally banded together as the Jazz Composers Guild. Under JCG sponsorship, the series “Four Days in December” ran from December 28 through 31 at Judson Hall. Sun Ra and his Arkestra appeared on the 31st, along with the New York Art Quartet.
All of the music from the Four Days in December series was recorded by the JCG for its own label; a December 1964 announcement in Down Beat indicates that a sampler LP was planned as the first release. However, the Guild broke apart early in 1965, so this never came to pass. Later there were plans (again abortive) to issue the concerts on the Fontana label. Almost a dozen years later (1976), Sun Ra issued the LP "Featuring Pharoah Sanders and Black Harold" [comprised of tracks 6–11 of this digital edition].
Ahmed Abdullah (and the first edition of The Earthly Recordings of Sun Ra) gave the location and date as Cellar Café, New York City, June 15, 1964, but this cannot be right because at that time tenor saxophonist John Gilmore was still in the Arkestra. [Gilmore left the Arkestra in summer 1964 to go on tour—as Wayne Shorter's replacement—with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers; Gilmore is not on the Judson Hall dates.] The album serial number ["JHNY 165"] was clearly meant to indicate a concert at Judson Hall, New York City, in January 1965, and a copy in Alden Kimbrough’s possession bears the title Live at Judson Hall written on the cover in longhand. On Kimbrough’s copy Pharoah Sanders’ name is written on the label for Side A and Black Harold’s is written on Side B. The January '65 date seems to be a slightly inaccurate reference to the Four Days in December concerts. (1968 is incorrectly given as the date in some discographies.)
Basic personnel derived from a list given by members of the Arkestra to Bob Rusch. However, they forgot about Robert Northern. A review of Four Days in December by Don Heckman (Down Beat, February 11, 1965) gave a slightly different personnel list that referred to Pharoah as “Farrell Saunders,” added Ronnie Boykins (bass) and Jimmy Johnson (drums), and subtracted Cummings (bass clarinet) and Northern (French horn). Most likely Heckman was relying on a printed program (always dangerous with the Arkestra—there is no audible evidence that Ronnie Boykins was there, whereas Cummings and Northern definitely were). Heckman mentioned the titles “Other People’s Worlds” and “Water Lilies on Mars.” A.B. Spellman’s review of the concert indicates that “Water Lilies on Mars” was sung—which means it was not included on the 1976 Saturn LP. The Arkestra and the New York Art Quartet split the evening; the concert began no earlier than 8pm and finished at midnight. Most likely, then, some material from the Arkestra’s set remains unissued. [N.B. The full performance is included on this digital release.]
British discographer Mike Hames also mentioned a “Space Mates” from this session, but this was included on the LP (thanks to Julian Vein for this information). In the first edition of The Earthly Recordings, the Heckman and Hames information was thought to describe a different recording and was listed as a separate session.
According to Ra biographer John Szwed, Black Harold (or, as he was known in 1964 and identified by Heckman, Sir Harold) was formerly known as Harold Murray. He also played a large drum with the Arkestra (considerably larger than Jacson’s Ancient Egyptian Infinity Drum; regrettably, it does not appear on any known recordings). Harold also recorded in 1968 (as Sir Harold) with Galt MacDermot and (as Black Harold) with Big Black. According to Donald Leigh, he later changed his name to Brother Atu, and still later appeared as Atu Murray. Obviously a believer in having many names.

SNUFF TAPE ANTHOLOGY: Blu Ray (El Gore)
$45.00
Nasty, Gore, SOV, German, Bloodthirsty, Short Films, Snuff, Underground; Blu Ray - Ex Used condition
Quote: "Me and my girlfriend have killed dozens of people over the last years, worthless pieces of filth that won't be missed by anyone. We also captured some of our murders on video for a small group of like-minded people. But killing started to get boring, and so I decided to make my last dream become reality and have my girlfriend video tape it. For ages, I have been dreaming of inflicting actions of hatred and lust on a corpse, and then getting buried next to this last victim. So I kidnapped a 21 year old whore yesterday. I will kill her, bleed her, then let her ripen for four months, in order to commence with my final masterpiece. These are the videos leading up to my last, most depraved act. There is no dialogue in any of these shorts, which tell this story of madness through the actions of the killer. They consist of the following shorts: Snuff Tape 0 - Black & Died (4 min) Snuff Tape 1 - Red (6 min) Snuff Tape 2 - Red & Yellow (10 min) Snuff Tape 3 - Dead, Red & Brown (24 min) Snuff Tape 4 - Dead Fast Food (8 min) Snuff Tape 5 - Final Extreme Suicide (11 min) Snuff Tape 6 - Organ Trade Autopsy (6 min) Snuff Tape 7 - Gore (20 min) The Lost Snuff Tape - Dead Body (7 min)"

GYPSY HOUSE: Sundays & Cybele; 2xCD (2012) Japanese Psych
$85.00Japanese, Psych, Psychedelic, Japan, Guitar, Rock, Heavy, Rare, Import; 2xCD set - Ex Used condition
While the Sundays & Cybele of today is a very contemporary creature, integrating influences from both the then, and the now, "Gypsy House" reveals a band revelling in the trappings of the late sixties to the extent that it could quite convincingly be passed off as an artifact from that time. Group leader Kazuo Tsubouchi has stated in interviews that one of the main goals that he hopes to achieve through Sundays & Cybele's music is an increased awareness of classic Japanese psychedelia, and "Gypsy House" should certainly pique the curiosity of younger listeners, who haev yet to discover the delights of Blues Creation, Speed, Glue & Shinki and the likes. And likewise, listeners who are already fans of those artists will freak out when they hear this. A six track release, trimmed down from a longer digital release, this more streamlined version of the album is a heavy psych-lovers dream, with an exremely pronounced Jimi Hendrix influence, which I've rarely heard done better, aside from the maestro himself of course. Led by Kazuo Tsubouch's inspired guitar work, these six tracks have an average running time of around seven minutes, but never show signs of floundering. It's rare to hear a record where the jamming is this focussed. Tsubouchi's guitar takes the lead here, more often than the vocals even, with "Saint Song"s electric slide playing providing one of the album's most memorable riffs - think David Gilmour's playing on "One of these Days" given a kick in the pants. Psychedelic guitar lovers will be in absolute Heaven with this album.

FELICITY: Felicity (the gorgeous Glory Annen) is a sheltered teen who surrenders her blossoming body to a world of bold sexual adventure in this homegrown erotic sin-sation from sexy Ozploitation auteur John D. Lamond. From taboo-breaking pleasures at an all-girl Catholic school to wanton delights in the exotic underground of Hong Kong, come join Felicity as she finally liberates her libido in the Far East with the help of Penthouse pet and Bond girl Joni Flynn (Octopussy).Hailed as Australia's most erotic screen odyssey and celebrated in the documentary Not Quite Hollywood, Felicity captures the sensual and sumptuous flavour of Bilitis, Emmanuelle and Story Of O in its classic tale of burgeoning sexuality and the ultimate search for forbidden ecstasy.
CENTRESPREAD: In a world at the brink of the 21st century, where strict social stratification is rigidly enforced, where spending power is related to social utility rather than to productivity, and the only manifestation of violence is in magazine pages, a photographer whose special talent is mixing violence and sex, is told to find a new girl whose freshness will rejuvenate the pages of the magazine. Gerard (Paul Trahair) not only fulfils his task but also rediscovers innocence and a world left behind by advancing technology when he uncovers Niki (Kylie Foster, Quigley Down Under). But love is not in the Editor's plans and he offers Niki a choice - stardom or the love of a redundant photographer....The directorial debut of Tony Peterson (veteran Ozploitation editor behind Mad Max, Fantasm Comes Again and The Survivor) Centrespread depicts an ominous new society where old-fashioned love battles against sexual availability in a world invaded by rules, regulations and computer control.

DAVID CRONENBERG’S EARLY WORKS: Arrow Video, Blu-ray
$50.00
Cronenberg, Surreal, Experimental, Shocking, Short Film, Cult, Sci-Fi, Horror; Arrow Video Blu-ray - New Sealed
One of the most singular auteurs of the horror and science fiction genres, David Cronenberg has wowed audiences with his depictions of body transformations and explorations of society, this collection of his early short and feature films shows a master learning his craft and exploring many of the themes that would dominate his most celebrated work. Transfer (1966), Cronenberg’s first short film, is a surreal sketch of a doctor and his patient. From the Drain (1967) finds two men in a bathtub, which may be part of a centre for veterans of a future war. Stereo (1969), Cronenberg’s first official feature film, stunningly shot in monochrome, concerns telepaths at the Institute for Erotic Enquiry where patients undergo tests by Dr. Luther Stringfellow. In Crimes of the Future (1970) Cronenberg worked in colour and with a larger budget, where we find the House of Skin clinic director (Ronald Mlodzik, returning from Stereo) searching for his mentor, Antoine Rouge, who has disappeared following a catastrophic plague. Cronenberg’s early amateur feature films, shot in and around his university campus, prefigure his later films’ concerns with strange institutions, male/female separation and ESP, echoing the likes of Videodrome, Dead Ringers and Scanners.

How do you follow up a film as iconic as Joe Dante’s seminal werewolf epic The Howling? With a star turn from horror legend Christopher Lee and a leather-clad Sybil Danning (The Red Queen Kills Seven Times), Howling II is more than up to the challenge! After a young woman dies in violent circumstances, her brother is approached by a stranger (Lee) who reveals that she was in fact a werewolf. The brother’s initial skepticism is quickly diffused when he encounters the fanged beasts first-hand. Now the pair, joined by a plucky journalist, must travel to Transylvania to destroy werewolf queen Stirba (Danning), and rid the world of lycanthropes once and for all. Helmed by director Philippe Mora (Mad Dog Morgan, The Beast Within), who would go on to direct the equally barmy follow-up Howling III: The Marsupials, Howling II is a campy horror extravaganza featuring killer dwarves, werewolf orgies and ‘80s punk rock galore!

MOTEL HELL: Arrow Video; 2 disc Blu-ray and DVD + 22 page booklet
$55.00
Gore, Horror, Splatter, Cult, Strange, Comedy; Arrow 2 disc (Blu-ray and DVD) + 22 page booklet - Ex Used condition
"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters".
What a tag line. Motel Hell is one of those movies that could only have been made in the eighties. It is an incredibly twisted and often hilarious ride into the macabre. The further along the movie goes, the more sick and crazy it gets, which in turn makes one even more engrossed in the weirdness on screen. The movie is set in a fictitious town in the deep south of America, where people come from far and wide to sample the delights of Farmer Vincent's distinctively flavored produce. One might ask the question why do so many of these visitors not stay in the nearby motel the family also runs? Affectionately named Motel Hello (the neon 'O' on the sign seems to be constantly on the blink), some visitors do choose to stay there, although after checking in, they never seem to check out again! Could it have something to do with Farmer Vincents amazing fritters? Is that why they taste so darn good?
Arrow really have pushed the boat out with this release, and the awesome double sided cover and pristine transfer of the movie are only the beginning, and believe me, the transfer really is incredible. There is so much depth in the picture, so much clarity, it really is incredible. You get an insightful commentary track from director Kevin Connor that is moderated by Callum Waddell and four incredibly interesting featurettes which feature an interview with star Paul Linke and an interview with co-star Rosanne Katon amongst others.
There is also a collectors booklet featuring brand new writing on the film by Kim Newman, illustrated with archive stills and posters, plus Motel Hell comic extracts and an exclusive interview with Chris Moreno. This is another incredible release from Arrow Video, and is the first time Motel Hell has been released anywhere in the world on Blu-Ray.
