Publication: Hamburg, Repertoire Records, 1995

Formatting: 4to.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The catalogue presents remarkably well for a mid-1990s softcover, with the binding remaining exceptionally tight and the spine completely uncreased, suggesting it has seen very little handling. The vibrant glossy wrappers preserve the rich, saturated colours of Roger Dean's wrap-around artwork beautifully, free from any notable scuffing, fading, or clouding. There is some light, expected rubbing and minor bumping to the extreme corners and spine ends. Internally, the pages remain clean, crisp, and bright, free from foxing or heavy reading wear, making this a highly attractive, collectible survivor of promotional music ephemera.

Catalogue Note: This catalogue features a stunning wrap-around cover illustration by the legendary artist Roger Dean, renowned for his iconic album covers for bands such as Yes and Asia. The publication serves as a comprehensive guide to the label's extensive roster of classic rock, progressive rock, and psychedelic reissues, alongside inner layout computerwork designed by Martyn Dean.

Catalogues of this nature, particularly those featuring exclusive cover art by significant music industry artists, are scarce on the open market.

As they were primarily intended as promotional ephemera for distributors and dedicated collectors, most copies were ultimately discarded, making surviving examples a highly uncommon find for both record label completists and Roger Dean enthusiasts.

A visually striking promotional catalogue, Out of the Mists of Time offers a fascinating snapshot of a major mid-1990s reissue campaign. Encased in an exclusive, otherworldly landscape by acclaimed artist Roger Dean, this publication details a wealth of classic, progressive, and psychedelic rock releases, serving as both a comprehensive label guide and a highly desirable piece of music industry ephemera.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
