Some words on this issue: AHORA MAZDA: “S/T” (Catfish – 5C054-24184) 2nd press issue on highly collectable Catfish label. The band originated out of the hazy fumes of Amsterdam and their music was a reflection of the “spacey” music in the Netherlands, but upon listening to their sounds, they owe more to the cosmic music scene of Germany than the symphonic approach of their fellow countrymen such as Focus, Kayak and Finch. Known for their long jam sessions, Ahora Mazda recorded shorter excursions and more arranged songs for their self-titled debut (and only) album. The whole affair only took three days to be completed and be translated into one killer slide of an LP. The end result is a really fabulous psychedelic nugget from the land of the flowers and the windmills. It combines both more close-to-earth flute fronted bluesy jazz-rock not unlike German Rufus Zuphall and free freak-out improvisational soundscapes infused with some intoxicated horn blats. In all, killer slide, impregnated with vicious guitar licks, thumbing rhythm section and blasting sax lines, crossing borders between psychedelic mayhem and spiritual jazz rock moves. One of the best albums to seep out of the Low Lands.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
