Dodgers - YOU MAKE ME HAPPY/LET'S MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE
Two tough R'n'B vocal group rockers with killer sax breaks from the mid fifties. Neither side did much business in the States at the time, but both tore up the 1950s Jamaican dance halls and have since become revival sound system clash classics. Who's got a copy of their only other release, 'Cat Hop', to sell me~

Seminal 1951, much covered but never equalled, storming rocker from Jackie Brenston and Ike Turner's Delta Cats, with squealing sax, knocked out outta tune piano, and super-raw guitar riffs. Recorded by Sam Phillips before he founded Sun Records, this is where rock and roll begins. Turn the volume up and wait for the neighbours to complain.

The best two R'n'B sides on the label coupled here for your delectation

Little Ike pays homage to Little Richard on this Black Rock `n' Roll screamer

Wild and raucous `unknown' black rock `n' roll thriller!

Wild Black Rock `n Roll classic

When David Walker did a spot of moonlighting under the pseudonym 'Bunker Hill' with Link Wray and his band, the alter-ego was necessary not only to avoid a conflict with his other commitments but also to allow Walker to break out from his gospel shackles and raise some hell - which he most certainly did on the unique and astounding set of recordings he made under this new moniker. Redefining the term 'Blues Shouter', Bunker Hill's vocals are screamed, barked and growled with a truly wild abandon, like a deranged synthesis of Little Richard and Howlin' Wolf. The accompaniment from Link Wray and his Raymen, meanwhile, is a masterclass of stark, primitive blues noise.

'You Can't Make Me Doubt My Baby' is a bass heavy stomper, a rolling rhythm with cool piano hits and of course Walker's gruff vocal. On the other side, 'Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf' showcases Bunker Hill's (even) wilder side as he yells and riffs a call and response sermon based on the nursery rhyme of the same name over an insistent, sparse, clattering drum-led back drop.

It's worth mentioning that all of the original singles were released on terrible styrene, which as most collectors know deteriorates progressively on repeated playing. So not only is it a pleasure to offer up Bunker Hill's unique madness to a wider audience, but also to preserve these two tracks on good quality vinyl for the first time.

Killer version that really moves with great vocal and harp, nice flip too!

Bodacious bopping double whammy on a single seven inch platter

Crazy vocals with jungle noises drive this solid mid-paced piece of mayhem

Screaming & hollering vocal delivery on this gospel classic and a cool popcorn flip too - lawdy have mussy!

Herman Brood may be the only real Dutch equivalent of the Sex, Drugs en Rock & Roll lifestyle. He had his share of club-gigs and Rock & Roll before he started his own band. As a young Herman he played with Dutch Blues-masters Cuby & The Blizzards (late 60's), the bands Stud, Flash & Dance Band (with Jan Akkerman) and Vitesse. After a short reunion of Cuby & The Blizzards (mid 70's) he started his own band "Herman Brood & His Wild Romance".

Raw, unadulterated Rock & Roll from the Lowlands, with international appeal! '77 was the year their debut LP Street saw the light (after which Shpritsz (MOVLP090) followed, which contained the international hit "Saturday Night"). Street is a classic Dutch album! The reissue is pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl with gatefold sleeve and remastered audio!

Check this for the ultimate r'n'b blasting version of the Louis Jordan classic

- DELUXE 10" WHITE VINYL LIMITED EDITION OF 1000

- DIGITALLY REMASTERED FOR VINYL

Die Legendary Edition ist eine Neuauflage des Debütalbums von Aerosmith. Diese neu abgemischte und
remasterte Ausgabe enthält zeitlose Klassiker wie „Mama Kin“, „Movin’ Out“, „Make It“ sowie die unvergessliche Hymne „Dream On“.

Zeit ihres Bestehens brachte die 1967 in West-Berlin gegründete Krautrock-Formation Agitation Free ganze zwei Langspielplatten heraus: "Malesh" (1972) und "2nd" (1973). Sie erschienen beide bei Vertigo. Die remasterte Neuauflage der Debüt-LP erfolgt auf 180-Gramm-Vinyl mit Original-Artwort beim Label MIG. "Malesh" basierte auf Erfahrungen, die Lutz "Lüül" Ulbrich, Michael Günther, Jörg Schwenke, Michael Hoenig und Burghard Rausch während einer ausgedehnten Tour durch Griechenland, Zypern und den Nahen Osten im April 1972 gemacht hatten. Der Trip war aufgrund einer Einladung des Goethe-Instituts möglich geworden. Zuhause angekommen, spielte die Band sieben sehr dichte und abwechslungsreiche Titel ein, die durch psychedelische Rockimprovisationen, jazzige Passagen, elektronische Klangspielereien und exotische Ethno-Einflüsse geprägt sind. Natürlich erinnert "Malesh", das auf Ägyptisch in etwa "Macht nix!" bedeutet, mit Freak-out-Gitarren, polyrhythmischem Getrommel und majestätischen Keyboards an die frühen Pink Floyd, doch ebenso wie "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" hat auch "Malesh" bis heute nichts von seiner Faszination verloren und gilt zurecht als Klassiker.

Classicks is a compilation album by Alice Cooper, combining studio material from his Glam period with live recordings of his classics. One of the highlights is the great duet with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell “Stolen Prayer”. Other songs from the late-’80s and early-’90s studio recordings are “Poison,” “Hey Stoopid,” and “House of Fire”. The live recordings includes his real classics, like “Under My Wheels,” “I’m Eighteen,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” and “School’s Out.” The last track is “Fire”, a cover of the Jimi Hendrix song.

Classicks is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on transparent red vinyl.

This album was professionally recorded in the 80s at the legendary Klub Foot venue in London.

First time on vinyl.

The Melbourne show on June 17th was The Beatles's sixth and final date of their second Australian visit. Another incredible event that showed Beatlemania at one of its highest points- John, Paul, George and Ringo played their "usual" breathtaking set list in front of a wild and screaming crowd and after more than 50 years the whole thing still feels like pure Rock 'n' Roll.

The first of The Beatles's five historical concerts at the Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo in 1966. The Beatles were the first Rock 'n' Roll act allowed in the Nippon Budokan, an iconic and celebrated venue originally built to house martial arts exclusively. The Fab Four performed in front of a huge and excited audience producing a major event in the whole history of Rock Music.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and ZZ Top frontman, Billy F Gibbons wants to take you on a desert trip. Hardware is Billy's third release as a solo artist. He compiled a group of a-listers including Matt Sorum (dr), Austin Hanks (gtr) and headed into the California desert to record in Pioneertown. Hardware features the guitar prowess and vocals that have made Billy a legend but it also shows Billy stretching his music landscape past the place where the road ends.

Everyone associates Liverpool with the Beat Boom – and that particular wave was led by groups, not solo artists. But Billy Fury is the shining exception. Born Ronald Wycherley on Merseyside in 1941, he was very much in tune with the American Rock’n’Roll that had turned the music world upside-down and, in the late Fifties, was a very credible response to ‘authentic’ American stars like Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson and Elvis. This LP illustrates the two sides of Fury – the dedicated rock’n’roller whose music stood up to comparison with the American pioneers, and the Pop-chart act his record label wanted him to be.

Billy Preston was an American musician, who encompassed R&B, rock, soul, funk and gospel. He worked as a top session musician during the Sixties, backing artists such as Little Richard, Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones and the Beatles amongst others. He is even the only non-Beatle musician to be given a credit on a Beatles recording at the band’s request. His solo career took off during the first half of the Sixties, but it was his early Seventies soul work that put him on the permanent musical map.

You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down was one of Preston’s final studio albums and originally came out in 1986. “What About The Love” was released as a single. The album is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on pink & purple marbled vinyl.

On his sophomore EP 'Nightlife Stories', (produced by Chris Robinson), Billy Tibbals offers a beacon of hope for a new generation of rock fans-- an audience he believes is enjoying a resurgence

Tibbals' music brings glam rock to 2024 within a once-again-burgeoning LA rock scene. He explains, "I wanted to make something a little more aggressive. It's called 'Nightlife Stories,' and so it's about seedy creatures of the night." The result is six tracks that are bold, stone cold, and ready to mold the minds of the American youth. With his mop of curls and brazen, spangled outfits, Tibbals is a return to old- school glamor with eccentric hooks and dramatic swings that demand to be heard

Unique blend of rockabilly, R&B, and garage rock from deranged spirit of psychobilly madness

Bo Diddley’s driving and irresistible beats, which he likened to the sound of a freight train, inspired countless bands from the Rolling Stones to the

Doors. With classic hits such as “Diddy Wah Diddy” and “Who Do You Love?”, Bo Diddley ranks alongside Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry as one of

the truly great pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll. Compiled by renowned music journalist Nigel Williamson this Rough Guide includes his most legendary songs such as “Who Do You Love?”, “Road

Runner”, “Pretty Thing” and “Say Man”. Bo Diddley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and he was the first black artist to appear on The

Ed Sullivan Show. He was ranked by Rolling Stone Magazine as number 20 in its list of “100 Greatest Artists”.

Like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, it was success in the
pop field and crossing over to the white teenage audience.
That helped establish Bo Diddley in the rock & roll charts,
but his blues roots are clearly evident on this collection. For
however successful he got on the pop charts, Bo always
stuck close to his blues heritage. Among the songs you can
listen to here are I'm a Man, Road Runner and You Can't
Judge A Book By Its Cover. His blues roots are clearly
evident on this collection.

Great ‘pleading’ rocker with killer instro on the flip
