Every artist has a piece of work that niggles them—something that they wish they could redo, given the chance. It's why Paul McCartney once reproduced Let It Be and why Kate Bush re-recorded Wuthering Heights for her best-of album. For the prolific Michael Chapman, that album is Window, the missing link in the series of Chapman's early albums being reissued by Light In The Attic Records. Window sits just after the previously released Fully Qualified Survivor and Rainmaker, right before Wrecked Again.

In 1970, signed to the hip Harvest label (home to Kevin Ayers and Syd Barrett, among others), Chapman was still an artist waiting for that first big success, perpetually skint and permanently touring to make ends meet. With that in mind, he aimed to make Window in as little time as possible because being in the studio meant not being on the road. Producer Gus Dudgeon-who'd been working with Elton John-had other ideas and booked Chapman and his band into one of the UK's most expensive studios, Trident.

The singer-songwriter and prodigious guitarist was in transition from his folkier origins to his heavier future and heading for a whole mess of trouble with the same year's Wrecked Again. Given the touring bust-ups and tortured recording sessions to come, Michael's wife Andru Chapman remembers the recording of Window was noted for a 'lack of hiccups. No one threw their toys out of the pram, unlike Wrecked Again.' Recorded with U.S. guitar player Phil Greenberg, violin player Johnny Van Derek, and pianist Alex Atterson, the album has a blend of electric and acoustic instruments, both traditional and experimental at once, synthetic sounds melding with finger-picked guitars.

The trouble came later. Immediately after recording finished, Michael took the band back out on the road with the understanding that as soon as he got back, he'd put the final acoustic guitar tracks down to replace what he's always said were only guide tracks. Unfortunately, Harvest's parent label decided the album was finished and pressed it up anyway. And Chapman, as a result, hates it. Indeed, 34 years later he even set out to right the wrong, re-recording parts of the LP and noting it was a strange experience listening to 'dead people on the between-track studio chatter' (Dudgeon, engineer Robin Cable, and drummer Richie Dharma have all since passed).

As part of Light In The Attic's revival of Chapman's early career, however, the album is presented as was originally released, with Michael's blessing and albeit with two CD-only bonus tracks. Andru notes, "Warts and all, it is an important part of the Michael Chapman: The Early Years story.' Michael has been less diplomatic in talking about the album. "It is a piece of my history for those interested in that, even though I think it sounds like a piece of crap,' he says.









[I] 9. She Came In Like The '6.15' And Made A Hole In The Wall

Double-LP package Includes full lyric sheet, liner notes, and download card
As with all matters related to Ariel Pink and R. Stevie Moore the exact details are vague -- but the origins of this compilation can be traced to Ariel Pink's "My Molly" e.p. from 2006. Included with the e.p. was a postcard insert that featured a hand drawn road-map to what Ariel considered to be RSM's best songs from each era. This illustrated his deep appreciation for, and understanding of, R. Stevie's vast catalog. Nearly all of the selections on this release come from that list and all were recorded between 1973 and 1984.

The final sequence for "Ariel Pink's Picks, Volume One" was sent by Ariel to R. Stevie around 2006 -- but the release didn't materialize until 2011 when Nick Noto (Big Muff Radio) discovered it while assisting with the digital reincarnation of the RSM Cassette Club. Later in 2011, Laughable Recordings released a limited run of 100 cassettes that quickly sold out and have been highly sought-after by fans ever since.

It is worth noting that the majority of these songs do not appear on R. Stevie Moore's many other compilations; and this is the first time that eleven of the seventeen tracks have ever appeared on vinyl. This essential collection was carefully remastered for vinyl release by Carl Saff in early 2014.

Mi Tierra (English: My Homeland) is the third studio album by Cuban-American recording artist Gloria Estefan, released in 1993. Produced by husband Emilio Estefan, it is her first Spanish-language album and pays homage to her Cuban roots. The album features Cuban musical genres, including Boleros, Danzan and Son music. Recorded at Crescent Moon Studios in Miami, Florida and produced by Estefan's husband, Emilio Estefan, Mi Tierra features notable Latin musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, Tito Puente, Cachao Lopez, Chamin Correa and Paquito D'Rivera. Also Sheila E and Miami Sound Machine members Clay Ostwald and Jorge Casas play on the album.

The album was an international success, selling eight million copies worldwide as of 2006, the majority of listeners non-Hispanics. The album received favorable reviews from critics, who praised the album's production, songs and Estefan's vocals. Its success won the singer a Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album. Mi Tierra spawned no less than seven singles: "Mi Tierra", "Con Los Anos Que Me Quedan", "Tradicion", "Montuno", "iSf Senor!...", "Mi Buen Amor" and "Ayer".

Am 21.11.2014 ist es soweit: dann erscheint mit den legendären Basement Tapes die Folge 11 von Bob Dylans Bootleg Series. Für das aufwendige Set wurden ausschließlich sorgfältig restaurierte Originalbänder überspielt, darunter einige, die erst kürzlich entdeckt wurden. Das Ergebnis ist die definitive Chronik von Bob Dylans legendären 1967er-Sessions mit Mitgliedern seiner Tourband, die später als The Band selbst Ruhm erlangte. Die Basement Tapes erscheinen in einer 2CD-Ausgabe mit den Highlights dieser Sessions (38 Songs) sowie in einer Deluxe-Ausgabe mit insgesamt 6 CDs (138 Songs) und einem zusätzlichen Hardcover-Buch im großformatigen Schuber. Beide Ausgaben sowie die Vinylausgabe (38 Songs) sind ebenfalls mit ausführlichen Liner Notes als separates Booklet ausgestattet. Die legendären 1967er Aufnahmen gehören zu den künstlerischen Meilensteinen in Dylans Schaffen und faszinieren bis heute nachfolgende Generationen von Musikern, Fans und Kulturkritikern gleichermaßen.Viele von ihnen wurden über die Jahre in Fremdbearbeitungen zu Hits. Beide Ausgaben (Standard und Deluxe) enthalten aber auch eine Fülle bislang selbst in den klandestinen Dylanalogen-Zirkeln nicht gekannter Aufnahmen.

Angefangen als Gastsängerin bei SBTRKT und Joker hat sich Jessie Ware mittlerweile zu einer begehrten Solo-Künstlerin mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme entwickelt: Nach ihrem erfolgreichen UK Top 5 Debüt Devotion, welches Lob von sämtlichen Kritikern sowie ihren Fans einheimste und darüber hinaus für den Mercury Preis nominiert wurde, präsentiert Jessie Ware nun mit Tough Love ihr zweites Album. Der Lonplayer wurde von dem Duo BenZell, das u.A. schon mit Megastars wie Katy Perry und Ke$ha arbeitete, produziert.

Die sowohl persönlichen als auch professionellen Weiterentwickelungen spiegeln sich auch in den Songs wieder. Die einzigartige Stimme der im Jahr 2013 für zwei Brit-Awards nominierten Jessie rückt in den Vordergrund, es kommt einem immer wieder so vor, als flüstere sie einem direkt ins Ohr. Begleitet wird die Britin nicht nur von selbstbewussten Refrains und eleganten Synthesizern und Bässen, sondern auch von dem berühmten Popstar Ed Sheeran, der auf dem Song 'Say You Love Me' zu hören ist.

Thematisch ist sich Jessie Ware weitgehend treu geblieben: In der Aufarbeitung einer schmerzhaften, unerwiderten Liebe steht das zweite Album seinem Vorgänger aus dem Jahr 2012 lyrisch in nichts nach. Doch auch die spielerische Art mit Liebe umzugehen findet auf Tough Love seinen verdienten Platz.

Anläßlich des 30th Anniversary des grandiosen Films und Soundtracks veröffentlicht Sony Music eine einmalige und limitierte Collector's Auflage der 12'' Maxi Vinyl als "Stay Puft" Edition: weiches weißes Klappcover, nach Marshmallow duftend. Weisses Vinyl im transparenten Sleeve mit Acetat Bildern aus dem Film gelegt, die zusammen mit dem weissen Vinyl eine komplette Szene zeigen.

Dylan Thomas was always present in my life - we shared the same view of the crescent shaped Swansea bay, and my uncle Colin Edwards amassed the largest amount of interviews on him, starting in the years following Dylan's tragic death in New York City.

Colin would talk to us about him for hours, and it wasn't long before I too fell for his magical, maverick voice. 'The world is never the same place once a good poem has been added to it'. Said
Dylan, who never prefaced his readings with explanations, but rather with a simple 'I am going to read aloud now'.

Reading his work aloud, feeling those syllables roll around your mouth with the rhythms finding their own ebb and flow is one of life's greatest pleasures. In Welsh (and similarly in Somali) there is only one word to cover both music and poetry - the powerful, transformative qualities of each have always lead me to treat them both with a similar approach. I often hear music when I read great writing, especially Dylan's, which is so infused with melody and rhythm, and so the idea for this project was born.

Jeff Towns, Chairman of the Dylan Thomas Society, and owner of the one and only Dylan Thomas Mobile Book Bus' has written the notes on the poems, excerpts and short story released in this double album and also generously shares with us some of his wonderful collection of Dylan Thomas photographs and illustrations.

Choosing the works presented here seemed to come naturally, some are familiar, some more obscure. As for 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' Well, I've always loved the matrimony of music and narration in Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and dreamed, many years ago, that A Child's Christmas' should also dance' with music.

Together with composer and arranger Mason Neely from Chattanooga, I began working toward this
goal. With the help of some of the countries leading players and soloists - Catrin Finch on harp, Alice Neary on cello, and David Adams on violin, we made this a reality. Tiger eggs indeed.

Great new 12' compilation featuring a superb selection of tracks showcasing the Balearic sound of the mighty Richie Havens. First up is his awesome take on the Lamont Dozier classic 'Going Back To My Roots'. Originally released back in 1980, Richie's version was rediscovered later by the early Balearic DJs and became an anthem on that scene. Also included are Richie's incredible versions of classics like Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams', The Doobie Brothers' 'Long Train Running' and his beautifully lush take on The Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' as well as the gorgeous sun-kissed vibe of 'Gay Cavalier', a captivating duet with Pino Daniele taken from Havens' 1983 LP 'Common Ground'. Another great collection from the Sunkissed camp.

Sing Me a Song of Songmy (subtitled 'A Fantasy For Electromagnetic Tape') is a moving anti-war statement by Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and Turkish musician Ilhan Mimaroglu, released in 1971.

It was Hubbard's third album released on the Atlantic label and features performances by Hubbard, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Art Booth and drummer Louis Hayes. The album also features a chorus, strings, recitations of poems by Fazil Husnu Daglarca and other texts, organists and tape-based musique concrète. It is one of Hubbard's most experimental albums, boasting a variety of processed sounds emanating from tapes.

Ilhan Mimaroglu was a musician and electronic music composer. He was born in Istanbul, Turkey, and moved to the United States working as a producer for Atlantic Records, where he created his own record label, Finnadar Records, in 1971. He also was the producer for Charles Mingus' Changes One [MOVLP701j and Changes Two [MOVLP856j, as well as Federico Fellini's Satyricon.

Riot City Blues is the eighth studio album by Primal Scream, released in 2006. On this album, Primal Scream leaves its electronic element behind and returns to more traditional Rock & Roll. The album features Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen) on 'When The Bomb Drops' and 'Little Death', Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Dirty Three) on 'Hell's Coming Down' and Alison Mosshart (The Kills) adding vocals to 'Dolls (Sweet Rock and Roll)' and 'Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar'.

One can hear traces of not only the Small Faces but everything from early Alice Cooper (à la Killer) to Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, the Kinks, the New York Dolls, and a whole lot of other Rock & Roll bands. The debut single, 'Country Girl', became the band's highest charting in their career, while the album charted at #5 in the UK. 'Dolls (Sweet Rock and Roll)' and 'Sometimes I Feel So Lonely' were also released as singles in 2006.

Volunteered Slavery is a classic Jazz album by multi- instrumentalist Roland Kirk, featuring his 1968 Newport Jazz Festival appearance and studio performances recorded in July
1969. It features performances by Kirk with Ron Burton, Vernon Martin, Jimmy Hopps and Joe Habao Texidor, Charles McGhee, Dick Griffith, Sonny Brown, Charles Crosby and the Roland Kirk Spirit Choir.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk could play more than one wind instrument at once. Apart from clarinets and flutes, his main instruments were tenor saxophone and two obscure saxophones: the stritch and the manzello. He modified these instruments himself to accommodate his simultaneous playing technique. He is also noted for his circular breathing technique and was reportedly able to sustain a note for over an hour.

At the time of recording Volunteered Slavery, Kirk was exploring ways in which to make Soul and R&B rub up against Jazz and come out sounding like party music. From the Bluesy title track, through the creative choir jam on "Spirits Up Above" to covers of "My Cherie Amour", "I Say A Little Prayer" and the Coltrane medley of "Afro Blue", "Lush Life" and "Bessie's Blues", Kirk sets it all in context. He proves that he is indeed the master of any music he plays because of his sense of harmony, rhythm, and melody.

REPRESS: Blackest Ever Black presents the first vinyl edition of Dickon Hinchliffe's original score for 1980 - the second part of Channel 4 and Revolution Films' Red Riding trilogy, adapted by Tony Grisoni from David Peace's quartet of novels and first screened in 2009. Each film in the Red Riding trilogy, a landmark achievement in British television history, was helmed by a different director and had its own distinctive look, sound and feel. While Julian Jarrold's 1977 and Anand Tucker's 1983 were both marvellous, well-rounded pictures, James Marsh's1980 - photographed by Igor Martinovic on 35mm - somehow seemed to penetrate deeper, hit harder, and linger longer and more vividly in the memory. Described by Tony Grisoni as "an elegant steely trap", 1980's tragic arc is all the more devastating for the glimpses of lightness and redemption with which it taunts its hero - policeman Peter Hunter, played with astonishing grace and nuance by Paddy Considine. Warren Clarke, Maxine Peake, Peter Mullan, Tony Pitts, Jim Carter, David Morrissey, Sean Harris, Shaun Dooley and Lesley Sharp also figure in what surely ranks as one of the finest British ensemble casts ever assembled. So yes, the acting, writing and direction are all first-rate, but crucial to the mesmeric, elegiac and ultimately pincering, punishing effect of 1980 is its music, composed by Dickon Hinchliffe and performed by a small string ensemble augmented with bass, piano, guitar and percussion. A founder member of Tindersticks, Hinchliffe has played a major role in the band's scores for the films of Claire Denis (including Vendredi Soir,Trouble Every Day and Nénette Et Boni), and since flying the roost has established himself as an arthouse and Hollywood composer of considerable renown, with credits including Forty Shades Of Blue, Project Nim, Winter's Bone and Rampart. Even more eloquently than Paddy Considine's note-perfect performance, Hinchliffe's music for 1980 articulates Hunter's journey from righteousness to ruin, his optimism gradually consumed by dread and paranoia. Even at its most tender, its most hopeful, its most soaringly romantic, the stench of death is all over it.

Die wichtigsten Facts:
- Die erfolgreiche Re-Issue- Series: erstmals auf Vinyl erhältlich!
- Restauriertes Audiomaterial
- Das legendäre Konzert aus Paris 1975!

Das legendäre Konzert aus Paris 1975 aus der erfolgreichen Re-Issue-Series mit restauriertem Audiomaterial und exklusivem Originial-Inter-view erscheint erstmals auf Vinyl! Was gibt es noch zu erzählen über Deep Purple Zusammen mit Led Zeppelin, The Who und Black Sabbath gilt die Band als Begründer des Genres Heavy Rock. Deep Purple prägte so manch eine Jugend der 70er. Über 100 Millionen verkaufte Alben weltweit und Hits, die ins kol- lektive Gedächtnis übergegangen sind, sprechen da eine deutliche Sprache.Im Rahmen der Stormbringer-Tour trat Deep Purple 1975 auch in Paris auf. Aber diese Show ist mehr als nur ein gewöhnliches Konzert, sie ist ein historischer Musikaugenblick: Gitarrist Ritchie Blackmore stieg noch im selben Jahr aus der Band aus und gründete die erfolgreiche Rockband Rainbow. Am 7. April 1975 trat das legendäre MK-III-Line-up also zum letzten Mal gemeinsam auf. Aber an dem besagten Abend in Paris merkte man der Band nichts davon an. David Coverdale (Gesang), Glenn Hughes am Bass, Ritchie Blackmore an der Gitarre, Jon Lord an der Orgel und Ian Paice an den Drums performen so enthusiastisch, so fiebrig energetisch wie selten. Auf dieser Aufnahme hört man der Band die Spielfreude egelrecht an. Ausgedehnte Schlagzeug- und Gitarrensoli, die gekonnt überraschenden Improvisationen, all das findet sich auf diesen Live-Aufnahmen wieder. Selbst die Intros und Ansagen kommen in der hier vorliegenden ungeschnittenen Fassung nicht zu kurz. Voller Power performt die Band

Wenn man einen der coolsten Soundtracks einer ganzen Generation sucht, dann fragt man nur WHO YA GONNA CALL Das Original Soundtrack Album war lange nicht mehr als Vinyl erhältlich und kehrt 30 Jahre nach VÖ auf ebendiesem Format zurück. Mit dem Oscar und Grammy nominierten weltweiten Nummer 1 Hit 'Ghostbusters' von Ray Parker jr, sowie den anderen allseits bekannten Songs aus dem FIlm von Air Supply, den Thompson Twins, Laura Branigan und vielen mehr.
Der Film: als Wissenschaftler sind sie kläglich gescheitert, aber als selbständige Geisterjäger stehen sie am Beginn einer großen Karriere - die Doktoren Venkman, Stantz und Spengler, kurz, die Firma 'Ghostbusters'. Telekinese, PSI, modernste Apparaturen und 24-Stunden-Service sind ihre Waffen gegen eine uralte sumerische Gottheit, die sich mitten in der City zur Wiedergeburt anschickt. Es droht eine Katastrophe biblischen Ausmaßes - und die bringt den Ghostbusters ihren ersten Riesenauftrag, und uns den SOUNDTRACK noch mal frisch auf VINYL !

New release on Sunkissed Records featuring Balearic highlights from Scottish 1980s powerhouse band Simple Minds. Recorded early in their career, these four sublime tracks illustrate just how mind-blowingly good and experimental Simple Minds were before they hooked up with U2's producer and headed down the stadium rock route. The first cut 'This Fear of Gods', plucked from the Leckie-produced 1980 LP 'Empires and Dance', is a hard-edged slice of electronica which sounds way ahead of its time rolling through an eerie soundscape of angry chants, hypnotic synths and thunderous pounding drums. Next up is the equally impressive 'Theme For Great Cities'. Produced by Steve Hillage, this lush instrumental epic had major rotation and became a big anthem in Ibiza. Flip over for another Balearic classic - the extended 12' version of the superbly futuristic Moroder-esque 'I Travel' and last but not least, the in-demand 12' instrumental version of 'This Earth That You Walk Upon' - another Hillage-produced tripped-out masterpiece.

Ende 2013 tauchte im Netz ein Song mit dem Namen 'Drive (Part 1)' auf, ein elektrisierendes Amalgam aus zurückgenommenen Vocals, einem bedrohlich pulsierenden Bass, elektronischen Rhythmen und geschundenem Blues. Zwei Wimpernschläge später war der Track zu Tastemakern auf der ganzen Welt vorgedrungen, was Ben Khan unmittelbar zum ‚Most Blogged Artist' auf Hypemachine machte.

Es folgten die Stücke Eden und Savage, die nun auch von Pitchfork und ersten britischen Radio-moderatoren gefeiert wurden und schließlich als Tracks die Hype Machine Charts anführte.

Nur wenige Monate nachdem Ben Khan sein allererstes Lebenszeichen entsendete, verzeichnen seine Stücke allein bei Soundcloud bereits weit über 1,5 Millionen Plays. Und auch jenseits von Szenekreisen hat man sich mittlerweile von der auf angenehme Weise aufwühlenden Musik des Londoners infizieren lassen. Noisey machte ihn zum 'Artist of the month', das Clash Magazine sieht in ihm einen der Künstler, die das Jahr 2014 prägen werden und längst werden seine Stücke auch auf Englands einflussreichstem Sender für neue Popmusik, BBC's Radio 1 rauf und runter gespielt.

Nun endlich erscheint mit 1992 die erste EP von Ben Khan auf dem Dirty Hit Label Imprint Blessed Vice. 1992 enthält nicht nur die bereits genannten Tracks, sondern auch die neue Single Youth, eine berauschende Einladung in Ben Khans strahlende, eskapistische Welt, in der R'n'B, Funk, lädierter, nachtaktiver Soul und quirliger Hip Hop auf sehr persönliche Lyrics treffen und in der Summe einen Sound ergeben, dem jederzeit anzuhören ist, dass er etwas Neues und Aufregendes schaffen will. Seine Musik spiegelt dabei die vielfältigen Einflüsse wieder, die Ben Khan umgeben - das Leben in London, die Ideen und Ästhetik fernöstlicher Kunst und Philosophie, die Liebe zum Film und sein kultureller Hintergrund (Khans Vater ist ein in Kashmir geborener Raw-Design- und Textilkünstler).

Dem 21jährigen ist mit 1992 ein Statement gelungen, das nicht nur unerschütterliches Selbstvertrauen und eine außergewöhnliche musikalische Reife zur Schau stellt, sondern zugleich beweist, dass Ben Khan eine der aufregendsten neuen Stimmen des Vereinten Königreiches ist.

Harfenklänge, Gitarreneuphorie und klassische Disco-Sounds: Harvest of Gold heißt das Debütalbum von Gossling, dem Soloprojekt von Singer/Songwriterin Helen Croome aus Melbourne. Darauf definiert sie mit insgesamt 10 Tracks den Begriff Pop immer wieder neu. In ihrer Heimat Australien ist Gossling schon längst ein gefeierter Star. Die Tracks der jungen Dame wurden dort bereits mehrfach für Fernseh-Formate eingesetzt und bescherten ihr massenhaft Fans. Häufig dominiert der Sound von Farfisa-Orgel und JUNO-Synthesizern ihre Tracks. Im Zentrum ihres Albums steht dabei jedoch immer wieder ihre charmant-süße Stimme, die nicht nur auf dem Titeltrack und gleichzeitig der ersten Single Harvest of Gold richtig zur Geltung kommt.

The album unfolds his skein around the concept of the journey : Eun physical motion made by walking, running , trains, planes , returns home at dawn , but is primarily a movement of the soul made of moments when you dig inside her and become ruthless budgets . Eleven songs to tell us : Take what you deserve . As an exhortation , a warning . The sweet and cosmopolitan spirit that characterizes the temperament from the beginning and the music of Claudio - Gnut also permeates the disc from the phase composition : Gnut writes in Italy while cruising far and wide , between the houses and recording studios of musician friends , so as to get the perfect mix of different souls that inhabit this work. Featuring featuring important as Matt Woods and John Gulino of Marta Sui Tubi , the Eighth Richter on horns , Andrew "Fish" Fish, Robert " Bob" Angelini and Daniel "Mr. Coffee ' Rossi. Gnut has been so successful to bring together in his " lazy river " urgency creative individual , contaminated with musical point of view of each artist involved , bringing out spontaneously capable of evoking multi-faceted soul , along with the melancholic atmospheres of the past, a renewed and liberating lightness.

Nice & Sexy Pict Disc with 10 Unforgettable Songs:

Neueinspielung des nicht mehr erhältlichen Klassikers!

Im Jahr 1987/88 wurde das zweite Album der Band, "No Place for Disgrace", aufgenommen, von vielen Metallern als besonders starkes Metal-Album betrachtet. Es erschien im Mai 1988 und war seinerzeit der Einstieg beim Major Label Elektra Records! Das Album enthält noch Songs mit der Handschrift von JASON NEWSTED, der auf dem ersten Album noch zur besetzung zählte und kurz vor Veröffentlichung des Zweitwerks zu METALLICA wechselte. "No Place For Disgrace" wurde seinerzeit gemixt und gemastert von der legende MICHAEL WAGENER und beinhaltet u. a. eine Cover-Version von ELTON JOHN'S Hit "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting". Die Band tourte damals als Vorgruppe von King Diamond in Amerika und mit Megadeth und Testament auf der "So far..., So good..., So what" Festival-Tour in Europa.

Die Band war allerdings stets unzufrieden mit dem Sound dieser Produktion, fügte sich aber seinerzeit den Vorstellungen ihres Major Labels. Nachdem auch immer mehr Fans nach einer Neuauflage in neuem Soundgewand gefragt haben, hat die Band sich schließlich dazu entschlossen, das Album 2013 komplett neu aufzunehmen! Dabei handelt es sich keineswegs um eine 1:1 Kopie, es beinhaltet neue Arrangements und teilweise geänderte Lyrics.

Bis heute zählt dieses längst nicht mehr erhältliche Album zum "Must Have" im Schrank eines jeden Metalfans!

History Of NDW erzählt die Geschichte der neuen
Deutschen Welle. Diese begann bereits Mitte der 70er
Jahre als Untergrundbewegung und wurde Anfang der 80er
Jahre zum kommerziellen Erfolg.
Diese Compilation beinhaltet zum Großteil Bands, die sich
am britischen Punk und New Wave orientierten und damit
den Weg ebneten, für die großen Erfolge der NDW in den
80ern.
Hier werden Erinnerungen wach an Kulthits von: Joachim
Witt, Ideal, Nichts, Malaria, Die Radierer,
Der Plan, Malaria u.v.m.
Die Neue Deutsche Welle war der Startschuß für
deutschsprachige Rock- und Popmusik, die zuvor
Keinen großen Stellenwert hatte.
Auch heute dürfen auf keiner Party die Hits der NDW
fehlen!

Into The Light go deeper into the archives of a ats (Vangelis Katsoulis) after featuring him on their highly acclaimed compilation late last year... great selection (as you'd expect) of ambient / new age gems from this king of Greek electronics. Shining TIP!

great lp with new and old mixes of the classics !!!!!

Italo Deviance Blog celebrates its first birthday with three killer edits on 12'. On the A side you'll find an extended & very powerful 'I wanted to tell her' by Ministry edited by Marcello Giordani. The B side contains an obscure track made in Canada but very Italo Disco flavoured 'Ladies Choice - American man' edited by Ajello and a crazy edit by special guest Beppe Loda of the release 'Captain Future - Freinde Greife an' (the German soundtrack of a cartoon from the early '80s). Ready to dance different~

The latest compilation, RM5 boasts twenty swinging rarities, including soul
legend Sharon Tandy singing under an alias, a demo version of a freak-beat
favourite, a track rumoured to be 'the king of soul', plus two tracks from
two bands, containing two members who would eventually form one of the
greatest seventies Glam bands ever - The Sweet.

The Montanas - Hey Diddle Diddle (Demo)
The Montanas formed in 1962 in Dudley and quickly established themselves as
a top local beat group. In 1965 they secured a deal with Pye records and
over the next four years issued a run of brilliant 45s including
Roundabout, Top Hat and their magnum opus That's When Happiness Begins,
which will no doubt be familiar to all. Their contract with Pye had expired
so they began recording new material in the hope of securing a new deal,
which lead to MCA issuing the brilliant Hey Diddle Diddle as a 45, but
featured here for the first time is the glorious demo version.

Debrah Aire - Don't Be Proud
The mysterious Miss Debrah Aire was in fact the legendary Sharon Tandy
recording under a pseudonym. Polydor records issued a version of Exodus -
This Land is Mine by her under this name in 1966 but the follow up, that we
feature here, was shelved and only recently rediscovered on white label
test pressing.

The Troop - You'll Call My Name
The Troop were from Harefield, Middlesex, and notable for the fact that
their lead singer was future frontman with The Sweet, Brian Connolly. This
was taken from what is thought to be the only surviving acetate.

The Dynamite Orchestra - Sh'Mon Part 2
Legend has it that Mr Dynamite is none other than the fabulous Mr. James
Brown. It was in fact an American group called The British Walkers from
Washington D.C.. It was issued in the UK, on Guy Steven's Sue Record label,
and it has gone on to achieve legendary status on the mod scene.

The Army - Sugar
The Army are best known as the group that spawned future Sweet bass
player/singer Steve Priest. In 1967 they cut two tracks that were never
released including this cover of the Joe Tex hit Sugar.

Begonnen hat Herbert Grönemeyer die Aufnahmen für sein neuntes Album zur Zeit des Mauerfalls, im November 1989. Die Euphorie, in der sich die Republik damals befand, mochte er aber nicht teilen: "Luxus" ist eine bittere, eine unzufriedene Platte. Schon im ersten Stück, "Hartgeld", weist Grönemeyer auf einen drohenden Ausverkauf des Ostens als Folge der Wiedervereinigung hin. Auch "Deine Liebe klebt", "Video" und "Freunde" sind kritische, zum Teil sogar boshafte Lieder, im letzten Stück der CD, "Sie", thematisiert er die Folgen eines Kindesmißbrauchs. Alles schwierig Herbert Grönemeyer wollte sich mit "Luxus" seinen Ruf als ernsthafter Musiker erhalten, nachdem der Vorgänger "Ö" doch sehr poppig geraten war. Das ist ihm, auch Dank seines Mutes zu schwierigen Themen, gelungen.

Two essentials from Ray Charles paired on one natty little 45. 'Mess Around' was one of Ray's first big hits, an irresistible piece of R&B that had floors messing around all over the US back when it was first released in 1953. 60 years on you will find that it has much the same effect - and the same can be said of the flip side 'I Got A Woman', another absolute classic, revived a few years back via Kanye West's usage of the song on his pop hit 'Gold Digger'. Nothing beats the original though!

Two more essential, groovy popcorn spins paired in one handy package. 'Nobody But Me' is a beautiful, blues-inflected early soul mover from Sam Chatmon, featuring a stunning vocal turn from sultry siren Gwinny Witherspoon. On the flipside is Donna Dee's 'Nobody's Gonna Hurt You', a great piece of late night, jazzy blues embellished by Dee's down south country accent. Whether intentional or otherwise, the two songs are lyrically and melodically similar, making this double sider another neat little offering from the popcorn label.

As the title, Robert Zimmerman Plays Bob Dylan, implies, these recordings show the young man we all now know as Dylan finding his way in NYC after bumming a ride from Madison in the early months of 1961. Featuring songs that were left off of his first two Columbia LPs, Bob Dylan and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, as well as other assorted demos and unreleased recordings, this essential LP of early recordings perfectly captures his growth from traditional folk music interpreter into what he would become: America's greatest living songwriter.
