  • One of the great Vertigo releases and certainly one of the great folk rock albums of the 70s. Tudor Lodge was the trio of Ann Steuart, Lyndon Green, and John Stannard. They all sing and play guitar, with Ms. Steuart also playing flute. They are augmented by a number of musicians, including the great Danny Thompson on bass, Tony Coe on flute, and many others giving them a full band sound. Its a beautiful, upbeat and dreamy album focusing on the vocal harmonies of the trio which remind a bit of Peter, Paul and Mary but the music is far more developed. This new Esoteric edition comes with the usual detailed liner notes as well as one bonus track.

  • "Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce a newly re-mastered edition of the classic debut album by Dutch Progressive Rock group KAYAK; "SEE SEE THE SUN”.KAYAK were formed in Hilversum in Holland in 1972 by keyboard player TON SCHERPENZEEL and drummer PIM KOOPMAN. The band signed to the Dutch division of EMI’s HARVEST label the same year and released their debut album in 1973. Featuring MAX WERNER on Vocals and Mellotron, CEES Van LEEUWEN on Bass and JOHAN SLAGER on Guitars, the album was a fine debut and would launch KAYAK as a major group in their homeland and further afield into Europe.This Esoteric Recordings reissue has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes, features a bonus track from the band’s first single, and a booklet that fully restores all original album artwork with a new essay."

  • New remastered edition gets the full Mark Powell/Esoteric treatment and arrives with one bonus track. Great disc with Richard Sinclair and Mel Collins in the lineup. "Echoes" is an all time classic. Essential.

  • First time on CD for this great second album from the UK prog band. Recorded in 1971, Graham Field and Dave Kaffinetti were experimenting with more than just the organ/electric piano axis. The music took on a far more advanced and progressive feel Steve Gould's passionate vocals really stand out. The key track is the 19 minute side long "Flight". Killer organ bits fly all around offering a sound extremely reminiscent of The Nice. In fact, it sounds like The Nice with a great vocalist! This gets the deluxe Mark Powell treatment with extensive liner notes and photos as well as bonus tracks and excellent mastering. Highest recommendation.

  • Man when they talk about "Mellotron drenched" albums they mean this one. The band's second album is loaded with great organ/'tron passages and Ms. Kaagman sounds more and more like Annie Haslam. The album is capped off with the side long title track. This new edition from Esoteric gets all their normal love and attention and features 6 bonus tracks.

  • First time on CD for this seminal proto-prog band, originally released on Charisma back in 1969. Rare Bird was an odd duck - they used two keyboardists - Graham Field on organ and Dave Kaffinetti on electric piano - as well as Steve Gould on vocals/bass, and Mark Ashton on drums. I guess they were trying to emulate The Nice who had at that point were guitarless as well. Not as advanced as their later stuff but still quite good. As a historical footnote this was actually the first LP release on Charisma. This arrives with the standard high quality Mark Powell treatment, featuring detailed liner notes and photos as well as superb sound taken from the original analog masters. Oh - it comes with two non-lp bonus tracks as well.

  • Universally considered to be the worst studio album from Soft Machine. In actuality Land Of Cockayne began as a Karl Jenkins solo album. There are some great names associated with this album: Allan Holdsworth, Jack Bruce, Dick Morrissey, and John Taylor but the reality is that it just isn't really a Soft Machine album. This is really more for completists as its been out of print for many years and now being given the royalty treatment from Esoteric Recordings.
