"Elephant Ball" by Crystal Syphon. Top notch forgotten album from 1969. The first three studio tracks are so-so but the next six from a 1969 Fillmore East live concert are outstanding.
Top 1970 album from one of Australia's top progressive/psychedelic bands and what a great album name! Rated by The Guardian as one of the 101 strangest records on Spotify!
I think their earliest listed album is from 1980, and sorry if they were already posted. Budka Suflera are definitely of the old school of progressive rock: https://www.emusic.com/label/389644/Budka-Suflera-Production A couple more of theirs are on MTJ, and the two albums I sampled play the whole songs rather than cutting off at a minute like usual.
The Italians on Wiz Music Srl are probably more of interest for (proto-)punk and pop rock of the 1970s than prog, but I'm not sure what else to do with the disco-rock of Le Streghe than to leave it here... https://www.emusic.com/album/6713639/Le-Streghe/LIniziazione

Someone tried to kill "Loggy Log, Horse, Clock, Leg and Arm" by The Henry Road with faint praise, and although it's really from 2009 if we trust the date on the page, it's on 1974 Records, whose artists seem to approach the sound of the 70s from different angles. https://www.emusic.com/album/5187629/The-Henry-Road/Loggy-Log-Horse-Clock-Leg-and-Arm
Latte Miele were one of the top Italian prog rock groups in the 1970s. They issued 3 outstanding albums, the best of which was "Passio Secundum Matthew" released in 1972.
"Live Tasting" is, not surprisingly, a live album recorded by the original band members in 2008 in Toronto. It is an excellent album with some of the best tracks from those 1970s albums.
Kaleidoscope (also known as Fairfield Parlour) albums "White Faced Lady", "From Home to Home" and "Please Listen to the Recordings - The BBC Sessions Recordings" all recorded from around 1970.
SBB was, as ProgArchives says, "one of the most important Polish bands of the seventies". In my view, one of the best Prog bands of any country in the 1970s.

Excellent, ultra obscure 1972 Krautrock album. The tracks to try are "Ich bin nicht mehr allein" and "It's love (Es ist die Liebe)"

An okay album from 1969. The best track is the 16 minute "Fruk Juice".

Remarkably, a number of their best albums are still on eMusic.

A good example is the live album "Hofors 1975" priced at $1.99 for 41 minutes of music.

Bizarre that in what is largely a fairly ordinary Country/Folk Rock vocal album, there is an outstanding Prog/Hard Rock instrumental track.
It is Track 4 "Success Brand Oil" and well worth a listen.

"Presents Chocolate Moose" by "The Zoo".
The best tracks are "Chocolate Moose", "I've Been Waiting Too Long", "From a Camel's Hump".
