Two killers from the Ebb stable back to back!

Billie Holiday is undeniably one of the most influential singers of the twentieth century. As the first vocalist to cite instruments - and especially the horns of Louis Armstrong and Lester Young - as her main inspiration, she was one of the most relentlessly individual singers of the jazz age, transforming silly Tin Pan Alley songs into jazz standards. But her biography also reads as one of the saddest tales of the modern age. Her talents came at a cost; the price seemed to be a predilection for bad men and an addiction to drugs.

Lady In Satin is the last major recording of Billie Holiday that was released during her lifetime, and it is also the most controversial. Ray Ellis' seem like a harsh contrast to Holiday's broken and fragile voice. Ellis himself was, at first, disappointed by the quality of the recording. It was only after listening more closely that he realized the beauty of these sessions and understood why Billie ranked this album as her favorite. More than any of her other recordings, Lady In Satin calls for an emotional rather than a musical listening. Music On Vinyl is exceptionally proud to be allowed add the swan's song of one of history's most important artists to its catalogue.

Thundering piano driven mid-paced blues rocker with killer Blues flip.

Early jump blues screaming two-sider, previously only on 78rpm issue.

Limited reissue of this highly sought-after Krautrock masterpiece from German musical genius Richard Schneider Jr. Also featuring the mighty Wolfgang Maus on bass, this LP takes you on an amazing journey through luscious pulsating psychedelic soundscapes providing a great showcase for Mr Schneider's exceptional skills on a huge range of instruments including Glockenspiel, Acoustic 12 String guitar, Synthesiser, Tubular Bells, Tambourine and Cowbells. Includes the crazily ethereal 'High'; the wonderful 'Hello Beach Girls' which sounds like the best beach trip ever - meaningless giggling lyrics on a lazy day in a paradise; the gorgeous acid-tinged 'Visions'; the more up-tempo groover 'Samba Session' plus the achingly beautiful synth symphony 'Crazy World'. One of the super-rare Cosmic/Balearic holy grails, this whole album is a pure aural treat - lie back and enjoy the ride!

Includes the 1980 hip hop classic 'That's The Joint', which was famously sampled by The Beastie Boys on 'Shake Your Rump', plus Tom Tom Club's 1981 hit Genius Of Love
