1st Official Reissue of Kontinuerlig Drift - Kontinuerlig Drift

R e l ease da t e : May 1 2026 Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r . , 350 GSM covers, 4 vinyl colors, each numbered to 100 copies, bonus CD, 2-page insert) C a t. no : P Q R 050/51   File under: Flasket Brinner, Archimedes Badkar, Mecki Mark Men, International Harvester, Gandalf, Handgjort, Stenblomma,   Available on May 1 st   Pursuant to PQR’s reissue of San Michael’s and Gandalf’s albums (both sold out in a flash), and more recently of Midsommar’s debut, we continue digging into the gold reserves of the Swedish 70s underground to unearth the highly collectable album by KONTINUERLIG DRIFT (meaning ‘continuous operation’ in Swedish). Just like GANDALF, this is a versatile album, equally split into ethnoprog, psychedelic and bluesy moments, all of which were indispensable facets of the band’s prolonged live appearances ever since the early 70s.  This is an indispensable album for Scandinavian psych/prog collectors, showcasing a unique blend betwee...

1st Official Reissue of Coma - Financial Tycoon

R e l ease   da t e : May 1 2026 Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r . , 350 GSM covers, 4 vinyl colors, each numbered to 100 copies, bonus DVD, 2-page insert) C a t. no : P Q R 056/57 File under: Secret Oyster, Dr. Dopo Jam, Kandahar, Supersister, Banzai, Brainstorm, Plastic People of the Universe, Pazop, Frank Zappa. Available on May 1st Long recognized as a one-off gem among Europrog collectors, COMA’s debut Financial Tycoon reflects the proclivity of Danish peers such as Secret Oyster and Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe for producing outstanding jazz-fusion, albeit uniquely blended with prog textures, and a sardonic sensitivity that was engraved across Europe in the releases of the likes of Kandahar, Supersister, Banzai, Brainstorm, Plastic People of the Universe, Pazop, more or less inspired by Zappa’s surrealistically ironic posture. Although ultimately released in 1977, the sonic amalgamations that crystallized in Financial Tycoon had been fermenting ever since the early 70s d...

1st Official Reissue of Orion’s Beethoven - Tercer Milenio

R e l ease da t e : May 1 2026 Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r . , 350 GSM covers, 3 vinyl colors, each numbered to 100 copies, 2-page insert) C a t. no : P Q R 020   File under: Uriah Heep, High Tide, Blue Cheer, Icecross, Black Widow, Pentagram. Available on May 1st We are repentlessly thrilled to bring you the first reissue of Tercer Milenio, probably the best hard rock/heavy prog album released in the prolific Argentine 70’s scene. This is a more mature and tighter effort compared to Orion’s Beethoven’s debut Superangel that places them in the spotlight of heavy prog/proto metal. The album’s opening blaster Amistades Desparejas establishes very clear expectations about what is to follow: a tapestry of scorching riffs and acid-drenched solos, melodic intermezzos that succumb to fiendish vocals and stodgy b-lines of pure hard prog pedigree, verging on epically sinister proto metal. Just picture a jam session between High Tide and Black Widow or Uriah Heep with Pentagram. E...

Bubu’s Anabelas beguiles the most demanding listener with its implosive amalgamation of symphonic prog with neo-classical, avant-gardisms with free jazz, brewed in a highly idiosyncratic and non-repl...
