    mainstream also issued a number of cool psych records in the late 60's (nucleus, etc) but i think you are referring to shad's 70's red lion imprint. if you don't like jazz funk or modal jazz generally then this label probably doesn't have much to offer you.

    that said, if you like loud minority, etc. i would recommend these titles:

    hal galper- wild bird
    curtis fuller- smokin'
    mike longo- awakening
    david young- ST
    jay berliner - bananas are not created equal
    dave hubbard- ST
    roy haynes- senyah and hip ensemble
    sonny red- ST
    john white-ST
    pete yellin-dance of allegra
    blue mitchell- ST (aka soul village)
    charles kynard- ST and Woga
    johnny coles-katumbo
    harold land- a new shade of blue (w/bobby hutcherson)
    alice clarke-ST (one of the harder titles to come by)
    jack wilkins- windows (also a hard pull)

    Also Growing Concern, Josefus, and Tiffany Shade.

    They also did the MEV/AMM split "Live Electronic Music Improvised" which is a landmark.

    much more difficult to find records on the latter. i havent even seen any of those joints you posted tom.
