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!

RSD SPOTLIGHT 🔦

DESIGN formed in 1983 and quickly rose to prominence as Ottawa’s greatest New Wave band as openers for the likes of Gang of Four, Romeo Void & Nina Hagen.

They released their first EP in 1984 and recorded a full album in 1985 that sadly, was never released.

Long overdue, this full lenght gem comes to life on the 40th anniversary of it’s recording.

Limited edition, 500 copies on black vinyl

Available for April 12th at your local record store.

RSD: EN VEDETTE 🔦

DESIGN s’est formé en 1983 et s’est rapidement imposé comme le plus grand
groupe de “new wave” d’Ottawa en faisant la première partie de formations comme Gang of Four, Romeo Void et Nina Hagen.

Ils ont sorti leur premier EP en 1984 et ont enregistré un album complet en 1985 qui, malheureusement, n’était jamais sorti avant aujourd’hui.

Attendu depuis trop longtemps, ce trésor caché prend vie à l’occasion du 40e anniversaire de son enregistrement.

Édition limitée, 500 copies sur vinyle noir

Disponible pour la journée des disquaires le 12 avril dans votre magasin de disques local.

RSD SPOTLIGHT 🔦

In September 1976, Offenbach recorded their first album in English, Never too Tender, at the legendary Phase One studio in Toronto. That same month, the band traveled across Canada to Vancouver, where they delivered an intense concert, captured in multitrack. This performance embodies the raw energy and electrifying synergy of the quartet on stage.
For the very first time, these two exceptional recordings are brought together, showcasing Offenbach at a pivotal moment, ready to take on the international stage.

Limited edition double LP, 500 copies on black vinyl

Available for Record Store Day April 12th at your local record store.

RSD: EN VEDETTE 🔦

En septembre 1976, Offenbach enrigistre son premier album anglophone, Never Too Tender, au légendaire studio Phase One de Toronto. Ce même mois, le groupe traverse le Canada jusqu’à Vancouver, où il offre un concert intense, capté en multipiste. Ce spectacle incarne toute l’énergie brute et la synergie éclatante du quatuor sur scène.
Pour la toute première fois, ces deux enregistrements exceptionnels sont réunies, capturant Offenbach à un moment charnière, prêt à conquérir la scène internationale.

Double LP d’édition limitée, 500 copies sur vinyle noir

Disponible pour la journée des disquaires le 12 avril dans votre magasin de disques local.
