Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

'A Thousand Strands' is the debut long-player from The Dandelion Set, a new collaboration between Glyn 'Bigga' Bush (Lightning Head, Rockers Hi Fi) and PK Chown (James Beige, Mr Liquorice). The album travels back to their formative years in the mid 1970s, with sleevenotes, lyrics and vocals by cult writer Alan Moore (V For Vendetta, Watchmen) and passes through a cavalcade of musical landmarks en route to the present day.

After 'Cobraxine', 'Boogie Throb', and the Ana Ott released 'Molochville', Brecht Ameel (Razen/Ameel Brecht) gives us his new album under the Br'lâaB moniker 'Other People's Crimes'; a high-on-paranoia, pre-crime-surveillance narrative, constructed after hours in the studio from a combination of Ameel's own recordings on a widely varied set of instruments, library music, flea-market broken vinyls and old cassettes. Part blind-overdub palimpsest-collage, part straightforward composition, the 10' contains both Br'lâaB's loop constructions and tracks performed by the found audio phantom band called the Acid Boogie Quartet. Bearing more gritty layers of both sound and subtext than ever, the 'Other People's Crimes' EP stands as an artefact of wild paranoia and spy-thriller sonics, weaving vignettes of surveillance gone wrong, doublethink and confessional echolalia.

Police and thieves are in the streets, running wild with nosebleeds and ill will ids. Dial v for victim as the night horizon broods a neon luminol glow. Howling at the vortex, buried under blindfolds, vigilantes take to crime with fear and ketamines.

The French-Afropean duo is back with a new funky masterpiece album! DjeuhDjoah &
Lieutenant Nicholson are French composers and afro-soul singers. The duo are creating a
new vibe with French sounds and mixing it with Jazz, Afrobeat, Electronic and Soul.
T'es qui was their first album released in 2015 and re-released a year later under the
name Remets t'es qui It was result of an intense collaboration that has lasted many
years, on stage and in the studio. They call their music 'Afropean songs', a collection of
Jazzy-Pop melodies, Afro-Soul and Funk arrangements.
This new album has 15 songs, and features a tribute to the famous poet Aimé Césaire on
the title. The Antilles are also honored with creole lyrics, and if you listen carefully - you'll
hear them distilled within the album. La Montagne Pelée's eruption in 1902 is evoked under
the prism of 'August Cyparis', one of the three survivors. The rhythms are tight and
focused, with some Antilles, but also Detroit elements thrown in, accompanied with a strong
horns section, vibraphone and analog drums. There are lots of echoes from the era of Jazz
funk and the lyrical French Mode, mixed with some slightly warmer currents that show their
wider love of modern funk and eclectic tastes.
It is a unique sound, an original recipe, using French wordplay with a universal message.
Last summer, they presented the now critically acclaimed first single 'El Nino', an Afro
Funk gem about climate change, and 'Fontaine', an Afro hit with a great combination of
analog take and electronic dance floor ingredients. With massive support from national
radios and prestigious international DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Aimez ces airs could be
one of the Top funky albums of 2019!

Das siebte Studioalbum der sechsköpfigen, norwegischen Band The Dogs. Thematisch
ist Before Brutality die Fortsetzung des letzten Albums The Grief Manual.
The Dogs ist eine norwegische Rockband rund um Kristopher Schau, Mads
Martinsen, Roar Nilsen, Kenneth Simonsen, Henrik Odde Gustavsen und Stefan
Höglin. Das in Oslo ansässige Sextett wurde 2011 durch die Veröffentlichung einer
Reihe limitierter, handgefertigter 7-Zoll-Singles bekannt.
Ihr Debütalbum Set Yourself on Fire and Follow the Smoke erschien im Herbst 2013.
Seitdem haben The Dogs ihr Versprechen gegeben, in der ersten Januarwoche eines
jeden Jahres ein neues Album zu veröffentlichen.

B-movie junkies, gather round and prepare yourselves for what could only be described as a cinematic speedball. Take a combined hit of two of the most potent strains of toxic cinema, dress it up in ritualistic robes and make it dance to the beat of a stoned, motoric, country commune soundtrack. Like an exploito double bill where both films merge into a single feature, this directorial debut by an ex-Roger Corman protege and future Russ Meyer art director (another heady cocktail) is the product of one writing duo's fleeting time in the driving seat as the moviedrome marathon approached its dwindling finish line.

Werewolves On Wheels emerged in 1971 in a climate where the B-movie genre of the previous two decades began to make way for the early glimpses of imported slasher films and video nasties. Entirely out of popular context in 1971, the soundtrack music of Don Gere would perhaps reveal him as the most versatile actor involved in the whole production. Until this point, Don Gere had been a pop folk songwriter and a country music devotee, but while riding with the werewolves, Don Gere became a disjointed psych rock stoner making ritualistic commune country with more coincidentally in common with Germany's emerging Krautrock scene or the more localised stoner psych of Skip Spence (whose radically ahead of its time LP OAR was recognised by Columbia Records as their lowest selling record in the company's history). Imagine guitarist Sandy Bull jamming with Munich's Amon Duul 1 or some Swedish prog outfits like Trad, Gras och Stenar or a sedated Kebnekaise. In comparison to the Curb/Allan scores, for films like Wild Angels, Devil's Angels, Thunder Alley, and Born Losers (often released on Curb's own Sidewalk or Tower records), the new music made by Don Gere, only three years down the line, sounds like it's from an entirely different generation...

"Pre-certified biker psych from the hillbilly Haxan. Amazing!" - SEAN CANTY (DEMDIKE STARE)

Tradition and experimentation are two familiar
territories that C'mon Tigre, a duo who find
their identity by working with musicians from
all over the world, can balance between very
well. As they did for their debut album (2014),
they have put together a multicolored collective
for their second record 'Racines', out on
February 15, 2019 for BDC/K7.
The title is a French word that means "roots",
referring to the musical roots in which C'mon
Tigre's feet, head and heart are immersed, and
from which their contaminated tracks sprout to
create unusual and original sound environments. In their new album the sounds of the
Mediterranean - the sea of their land -
intersect, intertwine and overlap with a
kaleidoscope of other sounds and a new
approach based - they explain - "on the type of
work we had done when we rearranged the first
album for live shows, by emphasizing the
synthetic part of our tracks". This time around
they did it from the very beginning: "The
composition of the pieces immediately included
the use of machines and synthesizers as a
basis for acoustic instruments. The goal was to
reprocess the terrain of Mediterranean
influences that was undoubtedly our starting
point".
Imagine a work in progress where bass and
guitars interact with woodwind, synths, percussions, vibraphones, dipping the listener into a
sensual and hypnotic musical journey. Sailing
from the Mediterranean basin and being guided
by the fascination for Africa and the Middle
East, C'mon Tigre give rise to a personal
language, made up of mixtures with jazz,
afrojazz, the rhythmics of hip hop, funk, 70s
disco. All without ever confining their songs to
one style, but pushing the exploration as much
as possible, into a dimension that every journey
worthy of this name should encompass. "With
the musicians we work with the exchange and
experimentation continue till the end, the
songs can take different directions at any time'.
The result is a mixed, cosmopolitan record,
which escapes from any label for the affirmation of a free attitude. The attitude that led
C'mon Tigre to seek a connection with dancefloor culture, even if considered only as an
evocation to revisit in an absolutely personal
way

2018 REMASTERED AUDIOPHILE EDITION OF THE CLASSIC SUN ALBUM ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL THE FIRST 1,000 LPs ON LIMITED 'BLUE TRAIN' COLOURED VINYL

On the 15th of November 1962, due to the request of Cash's loyal fanbase, Sun collected all of Johnny's train and related songs, which he had an intuitional love for. To him, the hardship, joy, love, loneliness and adventure of 'the big black

wheel' were part of the USA's romantic heritage and nostalgic sentiments, which helped to prove his stake as one of the greatest singers of Country and Folk music. All Aboard the Blue Train features the hugely successful 'Folsom

Prison Blues' and its excellent partner 'So Doggone Lonesome', which showcased Johnny Cash's talents as a writer as well as a singer. Complete with sleeve notes by noted Sun Records authority Adam Komorowski

and president of Sun Entertainment Corporation John Singleton, this LP has been remastered from the original Sun master tapes by Nick Robbins at Soundmastering Studios and cut to lacquers at half-speed for unrivalled sound

quality by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering in London.

More stunning live material to come out of the vaults...Ian Curtis & company recorded this live at the legendary Les Bains Douches in Paris on December 18th, 1979. Containing great versions of "Love Will Tear Us Apart," "Shadowplay," "Atmosphere," "Transmission", and more, this is one of the most classic live sets of the group's storied career.

1986 can be described as the year of the first major step in Metallica's development. A strong creative peak in the band's career marked by a studio masterpiece called "Master of Puppets" and a series of cornerstone live performances around the world, among them the London Hammersmith Odeon concert on September 21st. An extra powerful performance including earlier pieces and new hits such as the ultra classic "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". This was the rise of a new form of Metal and a full body Live experience.

NYL's 1976 sole release is curiously still very much under the radar despite it being one of the most intriguing French psychedelic/prog albums from the 70's. The music is highly creative and energetic with a definite space-rock feel in the style of Hawkwind, but also a clear krautrock edge reminiscent of Amon Dull II and Agitation free. Michel Peteau's guitar is the driving force around which all other elements create a whirlwind of sonic psychedelic infusion veering between loud psychedelia and irreverent pulsating rock groove a la' Gong. Features Ariel Kalma (flute and sax), as well as Janick Top (From Magma) and Bernard Lavialle (from Ame Son). Originally released on Richard Pinhas "Urus Records", this fully licensed album is released in high quality heavy paste-on gatefold cover, limited to 500 copies in black vinyl

Originally available only in sex shops in the Netherlands, this is one of the rarest psychedelic LP's ever to be recorded in Europe. Consisting of only two long tracks, one covering side A and one covering side B, this album is probably the most mind-bending stuff we've heard from around this time. Side A starts with fast-paced free-jazz-rock with intense drumming and Anita's growing involvement (first giggling, then moaning and finally screaming in all sorts of terrifying ways) Most instruments gradually drop leaving only fierce drumming in the background, leading up to a guy repeating the words num-num-num' inter-twinned with joyful screaming, somewhat reminiscent of Can's Tago Mago. This then move's on to another psychedelic jam that culminates with more screaming and crazy cosmic stuff that sounds like out of Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain'. Side 2 is another deadly blast of Krautrock delight, similar to Brainticket's Cottonwoodhill' again with an absolute crazy vibe, addictive guitar riffs, Pink Floyd-sounding organ atmospheres and several crescendos of insane horror screaming backed by raw organ and drumming. Highly recommended to fans of Can, Agitation free, Brainticket, Magma, J.a.Caesar, Ceremony People', Vampyros lesbos, Staff carpenborg & the electric corona & Hairy Chapter.

With the demise of the group Wire in 1980, founder members Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis joined forces to create Dome. With the assistance of engineer Eric Radcliffe and his Blackwing Studio Dome took the ethic of "using the studio as a compositional tool" and recorded and released three Dome albums on their own label in the space of 12 months: DOME (July 1980), DOME 2 (October 1980) and DOME 3 (October 1981). A final fourth album, WILL YOU SPEAK THIS WORD: DOME IV was released on the Norwegian Uniton label in May 1983.

These albums represent some of the most beautifuly stark and above all timeless exercises in studio experimentation from early 1980s alternative music scene.

Previously issued in the out of print DOME 1-4+5 box set in 2011. Now available as standalone LP with download card.

Albert Puig, Andreu Ferreres, Joan Pujol, Miquel Griño and Xavier Amela, five friends from Barcelona, shared their talent to create Los Jemax in the mid-sixties. They played their own songs and covers of the bands they listened to the international radio stations. They became a very popular band in their city, especially when they were the winners of a contest hosted by Radio Barcelona. The prize was a contract with Columbia to release two singles. They recorded four songs under the direction of José María Solá, the musical boss of the label. There were published three postcards to promote the upcoming 7's. But they were never released because of intern changes in Columbia.

Los Jemax played alongside Los Canarios, Lone Star, Los Sirex, Tete Montoliu, Palito Ortega, Micky y los Tonis... and in several TV commercials. With a repertoire of almost 100 songs that they recorded in the rehearsals at the attic of Joan's family house, the tapes have been kept in a drawer for 50 years. Now, Madmua Records a releases a new single by Los Jemax with two amazing covers: 'She's got everything' by The Kinks and 'July in the sky with diamonds', by The Beatles and sung in Catalan.

Fifth album on Columbia Records from Kentucky (now UK based) indie/alt/rock six piece. A 13 track album available on vinyl and CD. Radio support for lead single "Ready To Let Go" across R1, Beats 1, 6Music, Radio X, Virgin, Absolute, ILR. Streaming support across all platforms. Ads, features, interviews and reviews across all press. Online/social media activity. UK tour dates in June. Poster campaign and database mailout.

Zu ihrer letzten Tour pilgerten insgesamt mehr als 130.000 Fans, die Tour für 2019 ist bereits
angekündigt und die Jubiläums-Show in der Berliner Wuhlheide im August 2019 mit 17.000
Besuchern, war nach nur 20 Tagen restlos ausverkauft. Ihre Musikvideos zählen über 350 Mio. Views
auf YouTube, Sie spielen unzählige Headliner-Slots auf allen großen Festivals und halten den Status,
als eine der erfolgreichsten deutschen Bands im Streaming-Bereich. Die letzten beiden Alben sind
bereits vergoldet und mehrere Singles haben Gold- und Platinstatus erreicht. In den
Mainstream-Medien bleiben Vincent und Dag dabei, zum Teil ganz bewusst, weitestgehend unter dem
Radar. In der großen Vielfalt, des am 1. März erscheinenden Albums - Die Unendlichste Geschichte'
ist das Lied - Unikat' tatsächlich ein Einzelstück. Der beinah klassische Pop-Song trägt eine Botschaft,
die für SDP eine besondere Bedeutung hat und zeigt erneut die emotionale Seite des Musikduos.
Gerade in heutigen Zeiten, in denen der Erfolgs- und Anpassungsdruck, besonders auf junge
Menschen, enorm hoch ist, sind solche Songs wichtig. Unikat rundet den famosen Genre-Wahnsinn
des Albums perfekt ab.

Der letzte Track, "For Real", ist ein bisher unveröffentlichter Song, nicht anders als die Art von intimen
Brief, den Petty oft an Freunde oder Kollegen schickt. In einer E-Mail-Welt gefiel ihm der Look von Stift
auf Papier. Es ist eine angemessene Anmerkung zum Abschluss dieser Sammlung von Songs, die
von Petty's nächster Band und Familie ausgewählt wurden: Adria Petty, Dana Petty, Mike Campbell
und Benmont Tench sowie die langjährige Studio-Mitarbeiterin Ryan Ulyate. Für die neueren Fans
sollte es eine Einladung sein, sich in der Fülle der Alben zu verlieren, die alle mit Songs für jedes
Gefühl und jeden Anlass ausgestattet sind, ruhig und laut, ehrfürchtig und dumm, immer tief und
wahr.
Jetzt erhältlich als 2CD sowie 4LP auf 180g schwarzem Vinyl mit Buch!

CHILD 2ND ALBUM FEATURING VANGELIS,
DEMIS ROUSSOS AND LUCAS SIDERAS
- LIMITED PRESSING OF 1.000 INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED COPIES ON SILVER VINYL

It's Five O'Clock is the second album by the Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child. After settling down in London the trio consisting of Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras starting recording a follow up to their debut album End of the World. The title track reached the charts in The Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy. It's one of those song classics which is pretty straightforward with some psychedelic pop melodies. 'Wake Up' is a cute little singalong track drenched in key changes. Demis Roussos' unique voice blends perfectly with the impressive keyboard and piano movements and Sideras' percussions. It's definitely a record worth discovering sparkling with multiple gems.

The Greek band Aphrodite's Child was an important name in the psychedelic and progressive movement. They recorded three albums and after they disbanded in 1972 the band members Vangelis Papathanassiou and Demis Roussos started an successful solo career.

It's Five O'Clock is available as a limited pressing of 1.000 individually numbered copies on silver vinyl.

- LEGENDARY 1983 DEBUT-ALBUM
- LIMITED EDITION OF 1.500 NUMBERED COPIES ON RED VINYL

With Sympathy is the debut album by Ministry, released in 1983. Ministry's members at the time being Alain Jourgensen and Stephen George. The album could be considered more synth pop and new wave in comparison to the harder Industrial heavy metal style the band developed later on albums like Twitch and The Land Of Rape And Honey. Jourgensen's fake English accent was an homage to the new wave bands he loved at the time. Three singles were pulled from the album: 'Work For Love', 'I Wanted to Tell Her' and 'Revenge', the latter of which got a video.

With Sympathy is available as a limited edition of 1.500 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.

Miles Copeland's WONDERFULSOUND label will release the first Monks Road Social collection, Down The Willows.

Curated by the Blow Monkeys' Dr Robert, Monks Road Social is an ever-evolving collaborative outfit. Down The Willows is their first album release and a unique and special project of inspiration, friendship and craft.

Helping Robert get there were some members of the stellar Monks Road Social: Mick Talbot (Style Council, The Who) on harmonium, piano and Hammond; Crispin Taylor (Galliano, Candi Staton, Push) on drums; Ernie McKone (Galliano, Marlene Shaw) on bass; Matt Deighton (Mother Earth, Oasis) on lead guitar; Steve Sidelnyk (Richard Ashcroft, Madonna) percussion and, of course, the exquisite strings of Ben Trigg (Dexys, Richard Ashcroft).

These talented musicians were joined by some of Monks Road Records' exceptional new talent

'Sleep my angel, my child, see how the city spreads.' Under Franz Treichler's wings, huge, breathtaking panoramas unfurl like beautiful dreamscapes on the edge of sleep. A weightless dream that is both comforting and blackened with darkness. A return to known land, whose topography has been modified by time and age. Three human beings in the matrix of Data Mirage Tangram, the new Young Gods album.

Eight years without a studio album. The gods may have eternity on their side, it was about time they followed up on Everybody Knows and addressed the period of artistic confusion - in Treichler's own words - that followed Al Comet's departure and his replacement with the original god, Cesare Pizzi. The subsequent tour which focused on the Swiss band's first two albums, could have ended in a deadlock. Instead, it brought a breath of fresh air to the trio, revitalised by this return to their roots. Rock and electro avant-gardists are not known for their backward-looking attitude. Still, thirty years of uninterrupted activity, celebrated with the publication of an 800page book in 2017, could only strengthen the gods' will to write a new chapter to their already impressive history.

Data Mirage Tangram was born in a basement amidst people. Franz Treichler (lyrics, guitar, electronics), Cesare Pizzi (sampling, electronics) and Bernard Trontin (drums, percussion) accepted Cully Jazz's invitation to set up on the stage of the THBBC wine cellar

Following on from our two 'Lonesome & Blue' compilation albums which showcased the music that inspired Mick and Keith, Get The Led Out picks up on the music that inspired Led Zeppelin. Led Zep were heavily influenced by their love of Afro-American jazz and blues culture. They were Inspired by Muddy Waters' Mississippi blues, Robert Johnson's Delta blues and the upcoming Rock 'n Roll from the likes as Little Richard and Eddie Cochran. When the American Jazz and Blues scene gave birth to Rock 'n Roll in America, its influence fuelled a burgeoning scene in Europe. Especially so in England. where the vibrant 'Mod' explosion gave birth to the bands that formed the British Invasion of the American charts. The Stones, The Who, Cream and of course the mighty Led Zeppelin invented and introduced the British take on White Blues back to it's American birthplace.

Das in North Carolina beheimatete Bluegrass-Ensemble Chatham County Line veröffentlicht in
diesem Frühjahr ihr neues Studioalbum. Sharing The Covers ist der 8. Longplayer der Band.
Das Album ist im Kern eine Hommage an Chatham County Lines musikalische Vorbilder aus
den Genres Bluegrass und Jazz, die ihnen sehr am Herzen liegen. Gleichzeitig bietet es eine Chance
für die Gruppe, moderne und traditionelle Klassiker in dem für sie typischen Bluegrass-Stil
aufzuführen, für den sie bekannt und beliebt sind.
Mit den insgesamt 13 Tracks bleibt die Band ihrem musikalischen Konzept treu, verleiht ihren
Werken jedoch durch das Einbeziehen neuer Einflüsse und Anregungen eine ebenso spannende
wie fesselnde Originalität. Diverse Coverversionen von Songs von Tom Petty, Alton Delmore,
John Lennon, den Louvin Brothers, Beck, James Hunter und anderen zeigen diesen Ansatz
eindrucksvoll.
Ihr vorletztes Album Tightrope (2014) belegte Platz 3 der US-Billboard-Grass-Charts; dem
Nachfolger Autumn (2016) gelang die Erstplatzierung.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1968 self-titled debut album introduced the world to guitar-playing brothers John and Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug Clifford, and bassist Stu Cook, four young men out of El Cerrito in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though they emerged in a place and time where trippy psychedelic visions were the order of the day, CCR bucked the trends and instead tapped into a rich, traditional seam of American music that connected to blues, country, rockabilly, gospel, folk and R&B.

During their short time together as a band (1968 - 1972), Creedence enjoyed an unparalleled period of creativity - releasing seven studio albums (two of which went to Number One), playing over 150 tour dates around the world, including a headlining spot at Woodstock, and scoring 14 Top Ten singles.

CCR's music endures today, 50 years later- in the last two years alone, their music has appeared in some of the most popular films (The Post, War Dogs, Suicide Squad), TV shows (The Voice, The Strain, Good Girls Revolt) and video games (Mafia III, Watch Dogs II, Crackdown 2), allowing a new generation of fans to discover songs like "Fortunate Son," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" Creedence songs have received over 9.4 million tags on Shazam to-date. Having sold over 30 million albums in the U.S. alone, Creedence received a rare Diamond certification from the RIAA in 2016, marking 10 million units in sales for their 1976 compilation album, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits.
Following on from the full 7LP box set released in 2018, these are the first two LP breakouts from the Half-Speed Mastered box set to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the release of BAYOU COUNTRY

A 50th anniversary edition of Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1968 debut studio album, featuring the band's classic hits "Porterville" and "Suzie Q." plus their iconic cover of "I Put A Spell On You." The album has been mastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios, benefiting from an exacting process that allows for an exceptional level of sonic clarity and punch, bringing these classic recordings a new vibrancy. This 180-gram LP comes housed in a handsome tip-on jacket replicating the packaging of the original pressing.

Jackyl's self-titled debut album offers a good amount of '90s hair metal and southern rock. The rude and crude lyrics and fine guitar riffs and hooks are a perfect formula for their rocking outlets. Their eponymous first album 'Parental Advisory' logo in the background says it all 'Meaty bones beware of Jackyl'. It's as heavy as it sounds like and with songs like 'She Loves My Cock' they're not taking a step back from what they're traying to say. Comparisons with AC/DC are easy to make, but still it's pure fun in every way. The album has sold more than a million copies in the United States only.

On HELLO PIG, the Levellers had had enough of being told to write three minute pop singles and delivered an album that new label Warner Music neither understood or liked. Their marketing strategy was....to not have one. Subsequently, band and label fell out, parted company, and the album peaked at #28 in September 2000.

Featuring the sublime hit single, Happy Birthday Revolution, the epic tragedy of 61Minutes of Pleading and the beautiful Edge of The World, this reissue will prompt the long overdue reappraisal that this album deserves.

Available on vinyl for the first time ever, the album has been remastered Jon Sevink from the original 1/2' analogue tapes and has never sounded so...experimental!

Hello Pig comes as a pig pink 2LP vinyl set packaged with a previously unreleased live album from the 2000 tour.

To celebrate their 30th Anniversary, the Levellers are releasing a series of limited-edition coloured vinyl albums.

Having recorded every show on the 50 date 'Zeitgeist' tour of 1995, hundreds of hours of live performances were pored over to produce the definitive Levellers Live album of its time.

True to form, the band chose the lyrics of 'The Road' for the album title but the label, China Records, wanted the words 'Best' and 'Live' in the title to imply exactly what was in the tin. A standoff ensued until a compromise was found....to include everything....and the album was released in August 1996, reaching #13 in the album charts.

Previously unavailable on vinyl, Jon Sevink has delighted in mastering the original 1/2' analogue tapes of 'Headlights' for its debut release as a double LP.

To celebrate their 30th Anniversary, the Levellers are releasing a series of limited edition coloured vinyl albums.
In 1997, with more gold, silver and platinum albums than any other British band in the 1990s (True!), Levellers were rubbing shoulders with Britpop's elite. What could go wrong

Featuring the hit singles What A Beautiful Day, Celebrate, Dog Train and Too Real, MOUTH TO MOUTH was a Top 5 album in September 1997. Prevented from reaching Number One by Radiohead, Oasis and The Prodigy....pretty good company!

But with titles like Beautiful Day and Celebrate deemed inappropriate after the untimely death of Princess Diana, they were dropped from radio playlists, never to return!

Unavailable on vinyl for over 20 years, the album has been remastered by Jon Sevink from the original 1/2' analogue tapes and has never sounded so good!

Lonesome Shack überzeugen mit einem rauen, expressiven und sonderbaren Sound und bewegen sich
genremäßig irgendwo zwischen Hill Country Blues und Urban Folk Rock, was zu gleichen Teilen
beeinflusst wurde durch Alan Wilson's Canned Heat und Junior Kimbrough.
In einer einsamen Ecke von New Mexico begann vor vielen Jahren Songwriter Ben Todd, Musik unter
dem Namen Lonesome Shack zu veröffentlichen. Ben ließ sich in Seattle nieder, wo er sich mit
Schlagzeuger Kristian Garrard zusammentat. Das Duo bereiste das Land und spielte regelmäßig
Gigs; bald stieß Bassist Luke Bergman zu der Band. Mittlerweile sind Lonesome Shack in den USA,
Großbritannien und Europa populär und tourten dort erfolgreich. Gegründet in Seattle und aktuell
in London lebend, wird das Trio von dem - finger-picking' Gitarristen Ben Todd angeführt, der
einige Zeit in einer Hütte in der Wüste von New Mexico gelebt hat. Allein in der Wildnis der Gilawüste,
lernte Ben klassischen Blues sowie Banjo zu spielen - über Vintage- bis hin zu traditionellen Stilen.
Desert Dreams ist ein einzigartiges und poetisches Album moderner amerikanischer Musik, das am
Ende eines langen, herausfordernden Winters in London geschrieben wurde. Das Ergebnis klingt nach
Rock City trifft Backwoods Boogie und Desert Blues trifft Jungle Grooves.
