Auf „Bywater Call“ findet man Elemente traditionellem Blues, Soul und Rock 'n' Roll, mit einem Hauch von New Orleans, Alabama und der Kleinstadt Ontario, mit Einflüssen von The Band über Duane
Allman und Aretha Franklin bis Otis Redding und Elmore James. Der raue und emotionale Gesang verbindet alles und bringt es letztlich auf den Punkt. Bywater Call's selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum wurde produziert von Renan Yildizdogan und Darcy Yates.

For The Alternate Blues, producer Norman Granz set aside his rule against issuing what are variously called in the recording business outtakes, breakdowns, or alternate takes.
The reason was that despite missed cues and procedural problems in the rhythm section, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, and Clark Terry played the blues at a level of passion and expressiveness the equal of the versions originally released on The Trumpet Summit Meets the Oscar Peterson Big 4. In addition, there are four standards not heard in the original album. With Joe Pass, Bobby Durham and Ray Brown.

‘Hardcore Jollies’ was Funkadelic’s ninth studio album and their debut on Warner Bros Records. Released in October 1976 and dedicated to “the guitar players of the world”, it showed Funkadelic was the heaviest black rock band since Jimi Hendrix’s Band Of Gypsies (even featuring Buddy Miles on one track). With lead guitarists Michael Hampton and Eddie Hazel dazzling, the personification of funk Bootsy Collins on bass, Bernie Worrell’s keyboard wizardry and many more, the album was helmed by the genius of George Clinton. Reaching no.12 on the US R&B chart, the album spawned singles ‘Comin’ Round The Mountain’ (US R&B No.54) and ‘Smokey’ (US R&B No.96) and a live remake of 1973’s ‘Cosmic Slop’ from the album of the same name. Recorded during rehearsals for 1976’s P-Funk Earth Tour, this version features a vocal introduction dropped from the 1973 studio cut. Over 45 years since its original release, ‘Hardcore Jollies’ is among Funkadelic and George Clinton’s best-ever albums and remains a masterful example of their creative genius. FUNKADELIC Masterminded by the larger-than-life figure of George Clinton, Funkadelic was a key component of his influential P-Funk empire. Funkadelic’s unique combination of Rock, Psychedelia, R&B & Soul led to the band crossing over to the pop mainstream & gaining a vast international following, becoming one of the most important & influential groups in music. On 6 May 1997, Parliament / Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame by Prince. To commemorate six decades of thrilling & delighting fans, George Clinton returned to the stage in 2022 for a series of concerts. To celebrate, Charly have reissued Funkadelic’s classic four albums ‘Hardcore Jollies’; ‘One Nation Under A Groove’; ‘Uncle Jam Wants You’; & ‘The Electric Spanking Of War Babies’ (originally released by Warner Bros during a golden period for the band between 1976-1981). Each album will be available as deluxe gatefold Digi-Sleeve CDs in PVC wallets + obi-strip & facsimile-edition gatefold LPs on 180-gram black vinyl & limited edition 180-gram coloured vinyl + 1970s-style obi-strip in a protective PVC sleeve. “They played a HUGE role in creating the future of music.” PRINCE

Happy 20th birthday to Family Album, the third recording of Faun Fables and the first one released on Drag City. These songs belong to sons and daughters, entwined and orphaned, domesticated and feral; to all the family vines unraveling from a ball of yarn. In this family album, runaways graze the wild together, a mother finds her courage playing the piano, dogs become thieves and wolves, and a son is taken too soon. Fourteen-year-old nymphs sit dangerously at the crossroads, a younger brother tries to find his place, packs of girls defeat fear with a march, and the nightly adventures of the household mouse are spied upon. Dawn McCarthy"s creative background was forged in oral tradition amidst a large musical family in Spokane, Washington; studying piano, music theater, rock bands, guitar, folklore and ethnomusicology. Dawn cut her teeth as a singer and performer with various bands and cabarets in Madison, Wisconsin and New York City, most notably as yodeler with the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, whom inspired her to want a gypsy life with a kindred spirit someday. Her focus took a pivotal turn in that direction in 1997 with a solo quest through the UK and Ireland and their bardic traditions; singing songs in clubs and homes, all the while undergoing a pastoral, psychological experience with the land. Upon her return to the States, a fateful meeting with Oakland, CA born-and-raised Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) moved McCarthy back to the West to begin a new creative collaboration in the thriving hills and art community of the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1999, Faun Fables have released six albums and performed their animist, otherworldly folk music across North America and Europe, with shows in Australia, New Zealand and Israel, as well. Dawn"s writing and voice (described by The New Yorker as "one of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music") opens hearts and minds with a whisper to a rallying battle cry, further animated by Frykdahl"s adventurous musicality and vocals. Dawn has written musical theater performed by the Idyllwild Arts Academy, among others, and has lent her vocals to Bonnie "Prince" Billy on The Letting Go and What the Brothers Sang. In 2022, Faun Fables debuted their family band, joined onstage by their daughters with vocals, percussion, keyboard and dance.

Mother Twilight is the second Faun Fables album. It has since been noted by Scottish author R.J. Stewart as a work containing true artifacts of the oral underworld tradition. Dawn and Nils made a hand-assembled first pressing and peddled it to nearly every bar and rural hall across North America from 2001-2003. Drag City reissued the CD in 2004. Things are glowing outside, enough to bring any sun worshiper in for the night. But you must remain outside and begin walking. It"ll prepare you for the night, which otherwise comes as a chilling surprise. If you pay attention this time, maybe you"ll understand why you"re becoming invisible. When your memory began, it wasn"t startling, wasn"t a mistake. It came out of an old, dark and familiar thing, like a storyteller, like Twilight... so save us from fear, mother, and tell your story.

Das 25. Album von Giant Sand, das sie im 25.Jahr in ihrer Karriere aufgenommen haben, ist eine großartige und viel gefeierte Sammlung von perfekt ausgearbeiteten, persönlichen Songs von Howe Gelb. Mit Ausnahme von ein oder zwei wunderbar abrupten und perfekt platzierten Ausbrüchen ist es eine sanfte Achterbahnfahrt durch das innere Nachdenken über das Warum und Wozu von was auch immer, eine Meditation über Zeit und den Alterungsprozess.Howe Gelb erklärt zu dieser Platte: "Auf dieser LP zeige ich eine erworbene Wertschätzung für einfache Lyrik. Manchmal ist es eine Art Haiku, wie Flamenco-Verse oder der Blues. Ich kann mich mehr konzentrieren, da es offensichtlich ist, dass nur noch so viel Zeit übrig ist - das hat einen ganz eigenen Produktionswert."Diese Wiederveröffentlichung unterstreicht die eklektische und esoterische Karriere der Band und feiert ihre großartige, lange und kurvenreiche Laufbahn. Diese Deluxe-Wiederveröffentlichung enthält ein restauriertes Artwork und neu verfasste Liner Notes von Dave Henderson von MOJO.Giant Sand sind das wichtigste Ventil für die stilistischen Biegungen und die sonnengeschädigte Songkunst des Sängers und Songwriters Howe Gelb gewesen. In mehr als vier Jahrzehnten ist es ihm gelungen, Rock, Country, Blues, Punk, Garage, Lo-Fi, Jazz, Gospel, Avantgarde-Noise und Flamenco-Gypsy-Musik mit seinen impressionistischen Bildern und weitreichenden Beobachtungen der Welt neu zu erfinden. "An album full of heart, soul, and wit, this music confirms that no one does quite what Howe Gelb can do with such remarkably innate grace and feel" AllMusic Klassisch schwarzes Vinyl, original Coverart, Linernotes & DLC!

Giant Sand sind das wichtigste Ventil für die stilistischen Biegungen und die sonnengeschädigte Songkunst des Singer-Songwriters Howe Gelb. In mehr als vier Jahrzehnten ist es ihm gelungen, Rock, Country, Blues, Punk, Garage, Lo-Fi, Jazz, Gospel, Avantgarde-Noise und Flamenco-Gypsy-Musik mit seinen impressionistischen Bildern und weitreichenden Beobachtungen der Welt neu zu erfinden. Genau 25 Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung von Giant Sands legendärem "Chore Of Enchantment", dem panoramischen Meisterwerk, das den Wendepunkt für die klassische Besetzung mit dem erfahrenen Songwriter Howe Gelb und den späteren Calexico-Mitgliedern Joey Burns und John Convertino aus dem Jahr 1999 darstellte, kehrt das Album nun zurück. The Chore Of Enchantment" ist ein Songbook mit Howe Gelbs besten Liedern, gefüllt mit verblüffenden Einzeilern, der üblichen schrägen Instrumentierung, Echofeldern und nebligen Horizonten. Die hochkarätige Produktion des legendären Jim Dickinson, des PJ Harvey-Vertrautem John Parish und des gefeierten Singer/Songwriters/Produzenten Kevin Salem ist eine Tour-de-Force von Gelb's einzigartigem Oeuvre. Diese Wiederveröffentlichung zeigt die eklektische und esoterische Karriere der Band und feiert ihre großartige, lange und kurvenreiche Karriere. Die 2xLP Deluxe-Wiederveröffentlichung enthält ein restauriertes Artwork und neu verfasste Liner Notes von Dave Henderson von MOJO. "A beautiful, emotionally complex album." The Quietus.

Two Spanish slow disco tracks from 1977, originally released in 7" format, brought back in 12" format with an additional extended edit, very respectful to the original. "Zorongo" is a re-interpretation of a Andalucian popular folk song with Arabic influence, a gypsy love song from ancient times which was collected and presented by Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca before his death/disappearing during the Spanish Civil War. Jobam's new arrangement gives it a heavy downtempo disco facelift, taking the original gypsy warrior intensities of dealing with love and contrasting them with a beautiful orchestral string driven addition to the theme. Heavy Balearic, emotionally loaded gypsy business, something one could very easily imagine hearing at a 10 hour Harvey set in Pikes, Ibiza.

Donovan’s Original
A Gift From a Flower to a Garden made for a few firsts: the first double LP of Donovan’s
career, one of the first box sets in pop and, most importantly for Donovan himself; the first
pop album for the children of tomorrow.

He resolved to make A Gift From a Flower to a Garden an album of two halves. The first,
Wear Your Love Like Heaven, was intended for his own generation as they started to think
about the kind of world they wanted to leave behind. The second, For Little Ones, was for
the children they had or would have in the years to come. The result was a kaleidoscopic
folk-jazz suite on the power of love, imbued with all the romance and mystery of an Arthur
Rackham illustration for an ancient English fairy tale. The songs, remarkably adventurous
given Donovan was a globally famous singer at his commercial height, combined the
influences he had amassed so far.

There is something about A Gift From a Flower to a Garden that could never be repeated,
though. It is such an innocent evocation of the childlike imagination, so redolent of its time,
yet set apart from it too. All these years later, the peaceful qualities of this pioneering,
enchanting, deeply unusual album feel more valuable than ever.

The state51 Box Set
With authenticity core to the project, The state51 Conspiracy engaged one of the UK’s
leading experts in box set design, Daniel Mason at Something Else, to painstakingly recreate
the box, records and accompanying ephemera. The first challenge was to find the deep blue
leatherette paper the original box set was covered in; a problem since it was no longer in
production. “I knew people who had stacks of it, gathering dust on top shelves, so I bought it
up wherever I could find it,” says Mason. Then came the reproduction of 12 loose leaf lyric
sheets on fine art watercolour paper, each of them featuring a watermark and a fairytale-like
illustration by Donovan’s artist friends Sheena McCall and Mick Taylor. Where, though, to
find the same paper stock? “I found out that it was made at a paper mill in North Wales
called Abbey Mills. Unfortunately the mill dissolved in the early 70s and very little of the
paper remained. However enough paper remained to allow us to produce the numbered
certificate also signed by Donovan that sits within the box.”

Then to the iconic cover image. Donovan and Jimi Hendrix’s personal photographer Karl
Ferris, used infra-red film to achieve the psychedelic effect on the cover, but the original
negatives couldn’t be found. Mason then used digital technology to ramp up the colour levels
on a reproduction from an original copy of the album while allowing it to remain a little bit
faded, as it would be after half a century. The same labour of love and care has gone into
producing all elements of the box; from the rebuilding of the famous front cover font to the
hand-numbered and signed certificate; letterpress printed on the original paper stock of the
1968 UK release lyric sheets.

To cap it all off the original mono master tapes were waiting safely in the EMI Donovan
Archive and transferred from tape to digital by Abbey Road Studios where new lacquers
were cut, ensuring Donovan's favoured mono version of the album would be presented both
physically (and digitally for the very first time) in striking audiophile quality. The final touch to

Repress! Official reissue of the Austrian prog-psych masterpiece. An indescribable trip influenced by Pink Floyd, Soft Machine and Procol Harum, but greater than the sum of its parts. All vocals in English. “6 stars” – Hans Pokora Paternoster, that UFO of a rock album released unceremoniously on a custom-pressed CBS Austria long player in 1972, is the stuff of legend. It’s been known to the rock collecting elite since the 1980s, when it was first rediscovered, and it quickly became one of those rock records, the records you hear about only if you know someone who knows someone with a copy, much like Damon’s Song of a Gypsy. Paternoster is a terrifying album, a collection of songs that traverses the sublime, and thus necessitates a bowel-loosening acceptance of beauty too complicated to merely admire, bowing under the weight of a tremendous atmosphere, accentuated by Gothic organs and scorching fuzz guitar, punctuated by wailing vocals detailing visceral, Bosch-like images, and carried by enveloping bass and syncopated, mixed-well-too-loud-and-thankfully-so drums.

On 'Unknown Affairs' The Vices close their eyes and no longer see frames or lines. This leads to an album
where wild rock tracks, small ballads, psychedelic guitar solos and gypsy-like jams flow seamlessly into each
other. 'Unknown Affairs' offers an honest, unique and, above all, very personal view of the world.
