DISPONIBLE EN PRÉ-COMMANDE: OFFENBACH - LIVE AU JARDIN DES ÉTOILES 1975 🐦‍⬛

Mars 1975. Offenbach rentre au Québec après plus d’un an passé en Europe à préparer et à travailler sur le film et l’album «Tabarnac». Durant l’été, Kébec-Spec organise une série de spectacles mettant en vedette cinq groupes québécois, tous présentés au Jardin des Étoiles, l’amphithéâtre de la Ronde à Montréal. Offenbach s’y produit les 18 et 19 juillet, et c’est le concert du 19 qui est capté par l’excellente équipe de Guy Latraverse, avec Serge Doyon et Laurent Larouche à la réalisation.

Sur cet enregistrement, on retrouve plusieurs pièces phares du groupe, ainsi que des titres inédits qui verront le jour sur leurs deux albums suivants: «Never Too Tender» (1976) et «Offenbach», surnommé «Caricatures» (1977).
Témoinage d’un époque charnière, ce document d’archives saisit l’énergie brute et l’élan créatif d’un Offenbach en pleine ascension — le quatuor classique au sommet de son intensité scénique.

Disponible le 19 septembre. Tracklist et autres détails sur notre boutique en ligne.

25e Régiment - Ecology

MAINTENANT DISPONIBLE!

Avant de devenir Boule Noire, Georges Thurston rejoint le 25ᵉ Régiment, déjà remarqué avec un premier album francophone. Ensemble, ils signent Ecology; un deuxième opus audacieux paru en 1970, où soul, funk et rock psychédélique se fondent dans un anglais pleinement assumé. Longtemps oublié, activement recherché — ce rare joyau québécois renaît enfin, fidèle à sa fougue d’origine.

🔆🔆🔆

NOW AVAILABLE!

Before becoming Boule Noire, Georges Thurston joined 25ᵉ Régiment, already known for their first French album. Together, they created Ecology — a daring second album released in 1970, fusing soul, funk, and psychedelic rock in unapologetic English. Long forgotten, long sought-after — this rare Quebec gem is finally back, as fiery as ever.

NOW AVAILABLE! Three MORE new RTA International titles, in partnership with . All limited to 300 hand-numbered copies—

•The Human Zoo – The Human Zoo
Exact re-issue of the Human Zoo album (1969), taken from the original master tapes, with album artwork faithfully replicated! The band were label mates with The Human Expression, and were managed by Jim Foster of that legendary psych band. The one and only (mega-rare) Human Zoo album is a quirky blend of psychedelic, garage, and funky music.

•The Lemon Fog - Summer With The Lemon Fog
The spacey psychedelic sound of The Lemon Fog never sounded better than with this release, which gathers all of their singles, unreleased outtakes, and complete versions of ‘Summer’, ‘Lemon Fog’, and ‘Day By Day,’ — everything from the original master tapes.

•Watermelon - Volume 1: From The Lemon Drops to Vibrations of Sequence in Order
When legendary psych outfit The Lemon Drops split up, they landed in San Francisco — and in 1969 formed Watermelon with famed American musician and composer of ambient music, Raphael. The Watermelon sound is grooving and tight; mostly fiery and hard and heavy. Yet Watermelon were also capable of eerie, haunting and hypnotic moments, combining (as one writer proposed) “an ethereal sound of yesterday with an infinite hope for tomorrow.”

MAINTENANT DISPONIBLE — NOTRE PREMIER TITRE DE JAZZ EN PRÈS DE QUATRE ANS

RTA-160: «Walter Boudreau + 3 = 4» LP

Enregistré en 1967, Walter Boudreau + 3 = 4 est un ovni jazz d’avant-garde, intense et libre, signé par un jeune Boudreau just avant L’Infonie. Longtemps introuvable, ce disque mythique revient enfin en vinyle : une rareté absolue qui capture un moment clé du jazz expérimental québécois.
_______________________
NOW AVAILABLE — OUR FIRST JAZZ TITLE IN NEARLY FOUR YEARS

RTA-160: “Walter Boudreau + 3 = 4" LP

Recorded in 1967, Walter Boudreau + 3 = 4 is a fierce, free-form jazz outlier by a young Boudreau, just before founding L’Infonie. Long out of print, this rare gem is finally back on vinyl — a crucial snapshot of Quebec’s experimental jazz awakening.

NOW AVAILABLE! Three new RTA International titles, in partnership with . All limited to 300 hand-numbered copies—

•The Masque – Who Are You?
Psychedelic Hard rock from 1970, once thought to be unreleased material by Jim Morrison and The Doors. This release is the only complete representation of this fierce mythical band featuring distinctly heavy metal chord changes and fiery organ blazing away. The Masque’s rare single released on Master Record Co. was until now the only proof that they truly existed. We are glad to remedy that with a full album’s worth of music, showcasing their hard-rocking chops.

•Lightnin’ Hopkins – Vol. 1: Clarity Music Sessions — April 1969
A Straight dose of the legendary country blues musician from Texas, sounding like you are there in the studio with him, sipping from the same bottle. Lightnin’ Hopkins recorded more than a dozen songs for the Clarity Music Company at the ACA Recording Studio in Houston in April of 1969. These songs ranged from new originals to earlier classic hits such as the monumental ‘Mojo Hand’. They are presented here in their original four-track masters, transferred and mixed without any tampering for the first time ever.

•Sunset Love – Run To The Sun
Quasi-mystical flower-power band from New Mexico who blended influences of The Mamas and the Papas, Spanky And Our Gang and the Beatles to create a unique pop-psych sound. For the first time ever on LP, the full story of Sunset Love can now be revealed via their original 1968 mono mixes. A must-have pop/psych release!
