Alan Trajan - Firm Roots (1969)
Scottish keyboardist Alan Trajan's 1969 album is an unsettling collection of rock songs and ballads featuring prominent organ, fiery guitar, soulful vocals and acoustic picking from folk legend Davy Graham. Produced by Ray Horricks (Bread Love & Dreams, Human Beast, Davy Graham), it's well-established as one of the rarest singer-songwriter recordings of the period. Forced ExposureRate Your Music

Cosa Nostra - Same (1971)
Heavy duty rare Latin funk psych album recorded in Mexico City in 1971, their English language debut (not to be confused with their Spanish-language second album, reissued by Lazarus on LP); heavy grooves right from the start, with hard guitar, bass, drums and organ kicking it and not letting up; sounds a little like the Black Sugar albums, if you can imagine U-Roy 'singing' along with the rhythm tracks, and some strangely dissonant background singers chiming in to boot; but all vocal limitations aside, has some great cuts, such as the eponymous track 'Cosa Nostra', the funky 'Squeeze it Tight' with a real pushy groove, the rife-for-sample intro to 'Proud Mary', and the shimmering 'Change of Mind'.
