On the heels of our reissue of the Lilys 1999 cult classic The 3 Way, we’re honored to bring you its predecessor of equal acclaim, 1996’s Better Can’t Make Your Life Better.

Aside from the hit title cut, it includes a clever twist on Shel Silverstein’s “The Cover Of Rolling Stone” and plenty of exemplary bites of the Bakersfield Sound!

“Heaven Is In Your Mind is one of Sundazed’s most attractive mono reissues, especially if you have a mono cartridge, or at least a “mono” button on your preamp. But even if you have neither, this one is highly recommended!” - Michael Fremer (Analog Planet) Traffic was one of the most original and influential British groups of the 1960s, gathering a diverse set of individual talents in vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Steve Winwood, singer/guitarist Dave Mason, drummer Jim Capaldi and reeds...

This record is only available through Rough Trade UK. It can be purchased here. The Chilton record I go to first nowadays is Like Flies on Sherbert, which I feel is his masterpiece. Yeah, it's a fucked-up record, but that turns me on. I think the record is more produced than most people think, but that the idea of primitive musical chaos is played up to incredible effect. I don't think it's easy to make a record that sounds like Like Flies on Sherbet, one that is compelling and listenable...To...

This record is available exclusively through roughtrade.com. It can be purchased here. Nico’s iconic post-Velvets return to rock! As one critic memorably put it, when Nico spoke it was like coffin-lids creaking. When she sang it was like listening to ravens taking off 13 at a time. Nico was like nothing rock music had ever seen or heard before or since. In Paris in the seven year gap between the recording of The End and the release of Drama Of Exile, Nico appeared to be doing little more than...

A vital document of one of the first bands to put serious cracks in rock's glass ceiling! Never able to fit the mold that label executives demanded, at the very end of 1969 the Quatro sisters’ Pleasure Seekers became Cradle.
