GAS in the USA offers some merchandise, tapes, tour info and
newsletters but carries less of the rare tapes and CDs and other
products compared to GAS UK. See GAS UK listing in the international
mailorder section for more details. Not really a mailorder source,
but worth mentioning here:

A mail-order distributor run by my friend Tony Coulter (who does a
great radio show on WFMU). He's an expert on obscure progressive
rock, a lot of which he has available for sale or trade. He also
carries a lot of Recommended/Re stuff. Some random items from
his current catalog: Ron Geesin, Super Sister (Dutch prog rock),
Blegvad, Re Quarterly, obscure Italian prog rock, Fat, Faust, R.
Stevie Moore, and many many things I've never heard of. Carries
LPS and CDs.

Doug has a very extensive list of all kinds of progressive from
all over the world, and his prices are fairly reasonable. A really
easy guy to deal with and not too opinionated about things. If you
call (after 4PM EST) he'll take your order right then and ship
it as soon as he gets payment. He sends everything out priority
mail, which all makes his TAT very quick. From the west coast, my
experience has been typically 7 working days from the day I phoned
in the order and sent the payment, to the day the discs arrive.
That beats everyone else hands down, even guys on the west coast
Doug's definitely the fastest turnaround in the business. He handles
a really good selection of Italian 70's prog, I'm really impressed
with his selection of other types of stuff too. He will make a
sampler tape of various discs in his list for a nominal charge,
but don't ask him to record the whole disc, just selections. He
advertises in goldmine every two weeks, which is a good way to keep
up with the new stuff he gets in stock. He's also got an extensive
list of rare and o/p LP's. Highly Recommended.
