Shark Move - Ghede Chokra's originally released on Shark Move Records, 1971 - this CD by Shadoks Music, 2006 This is the first and only album by this proggy psych band from Indonesia. The original LP is rumored to have had only 100 copies printed, and those fetch four digit prices these days. There's some excellent music to be heard here that makes it worth the effort to traby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Grateful Dead - Live To Air: The Ultimate New Year's Party The Store For Music, 2011 This 2-CD set is lifted from the Dead's 1987 New Year's Eve show at the Oakland Coliseum. I attended this show, and it was a great night. Be forewarned of a couple things if you're thinking about buying this set. First, it's a European gray market product, not officially licenby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Treat Her Right - Tied To The Tracks RCA, 1989 This was the second album from Treat Her Right, a Boston-based band that got together in 1984. Mark Sandman and Billy Conway would split in 1991 to form Morphine, where they found considerably more critical and commercial success. This album is an unsung classic of the late-80s college rock scene, full of odd, downtuned electric blues, wiby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Quoterchecka I'm sure you've heard by now, it's all over the news. I loved that guy, planned on enjoying his new music for years to come. Saddened and shocked doesn't even begin to describe my feelings right now. RIP to one of the all time great rock vocalists. I can't even begin to describe how totally stunned I am by this. I feel like I've lost something terriby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Borbetomagus Agaric Records, 1980 This was the first album released by these legends of the New York noise scene. This is some truly bizarre experimental music here. These early recordings by the group had Brian Doherty on electronics, adding to the already freakish noise that Jim Sauter, Don Dietrich, and Donald Miller were creating with two saxophones and a disturbingly loud, feedback dby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Grateful Dead - Fillmore East 2-11-69 Rhino Records, 1997 This 2-CD set documents the two sets the Dead played at Bill Graham's east coast venue opening for Janis Joplin during her New York solo debut. There were two separate shows that night, and the band had roughly an hour for each to get across with the audience. Despite the fact that they were never know for their brevity, theyby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Mickey Hart - Planet Drum original release by Rykodisc, 1991 - this pressing by UMe, 2017 Mickey Hart's eighth album of material primarily recorded using only percussion instruments was originally released only on CD and cassette.

The Clan Of The Cave Bear Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Alan Silvestri Varèse Sarabande, 1986 Alan Silvestri wrote, produced, and performed this great music for a kind of mediocre film, and ended up making one of the great soundtracks from the mid-80s in my opinion. It actually comes off similar to the music Vangelis was making around the same time. If you dig that kind of well thoby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Ned Lagin - Seastones Round Records, 1975 Ned Lagin first came into the Grateful Dead's orbit after he saw them perform in Boston in 1969 while he was a student at MIT. Afterwards he wrote to the band and left such an impression with his letter that Jerry Garcia, Pigpen, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart visited him at his dorm when the Dead returned to Massachusetts in 1970 where he endedby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Xasthur - Telepathic With The Deceased Moribund Records, 2004 One of the best albums to come out of the USBM scene that was thriving in the late 1990s - early 2000s. So dense and weirdly hypnotic that it almost comes across as a sort of perverse, claustrophobic ambient music.by Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Quoterchecka Allan Alper - Black Gestapo LP (Bryanston Pictures) This came with a giant quad fold Black Gestapo poster which I stored. It's not the kind of thing I'd hang in my office that's for sure. See, that's exactly the kind of thing I want in my office! I'd get to have more of those nice long conversations with HR that I enjoy so much!by Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

QuoteLionsMouth The Armoury Show - Waiting for the Floods LP I never realized that was the guitarist from Magazine & Siouxsie on this. I thought he had just dropped out of music for a while after his breakdown and stayed away until he joined up with PiL later in the 80s. I need to give this a listen. That dude was one of the most underrated guitarists of his time.by Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
This is great stuff! I've never heard that King Slaughter jam from James Brown that you posted there. Definitely gonna have to check that out one day. I have a copy of the Black Caesar soundtrack on CD. It's one of my favorite albums by him. Every single track is fantastic.by Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Grateful Dead - Sunshine Daydream: Veneta, Oregon August 27, 1972 Rhino Records, 2013 A legendary show the Dead put on as a benefit for Ken Kesey's dairy farm in nearby Springfield. Billed as "The Final Acid Test", there was definitely some chemical mischief going on this day.

Hair Police - Mercurial Rites Gods Of Tundra, 2016 Industrial-tinged noise from this outfit based out of Lexington, Kentucky. These guys have been at it since 2001, and present a throwback to the late 70s-early 80s noise scene instead of the "harsh noise wall" sound prevalent today. Fans of early Throbbing Gristle or Whitehouse will probably dig this.by Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Bob Weir - Blue Mountain Columbia Legacy, 2016 Bob Weir's 2016 album was his first solo effort in over ten years, and his first of entirely original material in more than three decades. It was worth the wait. Made up of twelve of those great "cowboy songs" that he perfected early on in the Dead's career, this album is just amazingly good from one end to the other.

July 8, 1978 - Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO The final show of this short tour, and one that's widely considered to be a definitive gig from this era. There's good reason for this show to be so highly regarded. The first set opens with Bertha, and you can tell the band is relaxed, enjoying the surroundings, and just glad to be playing together in such a setting.

Terrapin Station Arista Records, 1977 - pressing pictured below by Analogue Productions, 2012 My own opinion on this LP is far different than that of the band. I think this is an absolute masterpiece, while they didn't care as much for this album as some others.

QuoteLionsMouth The Blue Nile - Hats A word of warning: the old, un-remastered version of this album on CD (either U.S. or U.K. pressing) was mastered with pre-emphasis. Many newer CD players and CD ripping programs won't decode it properly. You'll know something is wrong if the album sounds oddly thin and bright when you play it. In this case, you'll need to manually decode tby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
July 7, 1978 - Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO This was the Dead's first show at Red Rocks. The following night is largely considered to be one of the essential shows of the era for the band, and that's kind of a shame, as the hype surrounding 7/8/78 overshadows this gig, which is just phenomenal in its own right.

Mort Aux Gueux - Beuverie, Musique du Diable et Misère Crasse Corde Raide Productins, 2017 Some pretty decent lo-fi black metal from Quebec.

July 5, 1978 - Omaha Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE One of the things the Dead wanted to do on this short summer tour through the middle of the country was play to fresh audiences in places that the Dead Head culture had not fully permeated. Omaha, Nebraska certainly fell into that category. Most accounts of the gig cite the fact that there were less than 1,000 people in attendance. Thatby Gordon Rekcikssa - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
