A small label that has releases by Fred Frith, Henry Cow, Happy
The Man, National Health, The Residents, and more. Last time I
wrote they mailed me a catalog that was months out of date, but the
prices were pretty decent and cheaper than other mailorder vendors
that carry their releases. Associated with Ryko's mailorder too.

Eurock started as a magazine in 1973, specializing in European
progressive, space rock and electronic music. The owner of this
enterprise is Archie Patterson, whose preferences lie primarily
in electronic driven space music and melodic progressive rock, and
his lists tend to reflect this. His lists come out every 60 days,
and each item is accompanied by a brief description and synopsis
which I've found to be very accurate for the most part. He has his
own in-house label (also called Eurock) which features artists like
Gandalf, Green Isac, Erik Wollo, Dweller At the Threshold and Tim
Story. One thing to note is that Eurock generally does not restock
items after they are sold out unless the demand is overwhelming,
and he gets things in fairly modest quantities, so the best policy
is to give him a call as soon as the catalog comes out to reserve
the items you want - if you wait more than a few weeks some things
will no longer be in stock. Generally he's happy to discuss the
items he has in stock over the phone if you need more information,
and in fact I'd recommend this, as he can get your feedback from
previous orders and learn what your tastes are and make specific
recommendations for you. I've been dealing with Eurock for about 7
or 8 years, and I have never had any problems, nor do I know anyone
who has... He generally delivers within 2-3 weeks after receipt
of payment. Does accept credit cards. The newest development with
Eurock is the Web page where he posts each catalog as it comes
out and includes audio and visual supplements as well as special
features on specific artists. In the future it will become even
more of an information source eventually evolving into a site that
attempts to keep people updated on the latest news and music in
the Eurock genre.
