Holy Grails

Holy Grails

Welcome to the vault of legends. HOLY GRAILS is where Canada’s rarest, most sought-after, and nearly mythical records live—private press LPs, lost 45s, unreleased demos, and impossible-to-find tapes that collectors dream about. These are the records whispered about at record fairs and hunted for across decades. Whether for their scarcity, story, or sheer sonic brilliance, these recordings have earned their place in the pantheon. Handle with care—these are Canada’s sacred slabs.

Hmmmm - Plastic Cloud seems to be missing! Anyway, my vote is for the Ducks (garage), Warpig (metal), and for acid folk, Roger Rodier's "Upon Velveatur" hands down. Don't agree with including Mutual Understanding here though - Laurie Bower, Ben McPeek??? Yuck. Cool cover, though - vk
