Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

Limited edition of 500 copies with thick cover and a digital download code.

Mario Molino, one of the few composers-guitarists in the fascinating world of library music, created this original soundtrack for a documentary movie produced by RAI, the Italian national TV, of sci-fi environments by blending fuzz, distorted and psychedelic sounds with Hammond organ, clavinet and electronic effects played by himself to merge into symphonic epochal moments. Of the 8 tracks that make up the album, many have Cosmic Krautrock moments.

INSIDE was recorded in 1975 in the then renowned studios Fonit Cetra of Rome. 'Tema spazio' introduces us to the ethereal galaxy before we get into the mysterious stars of 'Le pleiadi' where Molino's prog rock begins to take shape with fuzz guitar, drum breaks, deep bass and an orchestra to strengthen the melody with an approach similar to Luis Bacalov for New Trolls ("Concerto Grosso") and Rovescio della Medaglia ( 'Contamination"), but with spatial inspiration. 'Finale titoli' lends symphonic rock to blues moments; the eight minutes of "Tempesta" are definitely one of the most cosmic tunes where Molino, as well as the guitar, experiences a crescendo of electro-analog effects. 'Tecnologia moderna IIa parte' is an obsessive psychedelic guitar and drums loop that recalls the teutonic CAN.

Limited edition of 500 copies with Cinedelic glossy cover with title on cover in relief. Includes digital download code.

Originally released in 1973 on RCA, this obscure library music title was produced by Maestro Gianfranco Reverberi using the pseudonym of Ninety as previously done before for other records like Psycheground Group Library on Lupus and the 2 Underground Set releases. The style is different from the aforementioned LPs and is closest to the style of murky erotic cult soundtracks created for Renato Polselli (Delirio Caldo, Riti Magie e segrete orge nel Trecento, etc.) as 'Fire Shadows in the sunset" features congas, groovy piano, spacey synthesizers and vocals. It contains many other amazing tracks like "I've Got An Idea" which includes insane fat drums, hypnotic bass, trippy piano and beautiful phased flutes, or the jazz groove "Closed In a Drugstore', the uptempo funk "You're So Vain' (Carly Simon), the hip hop drum on the cover versions of 'Daniel' (Elton John, Bernie Taupin), 'Sylvia's Mother' (Shel Silverstein) and 'Vincent' (Don McLean), and the slow psychedelic cinematic lounge of 'Quel che non saprei dirti mai a parole'.

For those of us who long for the days when Dr. John smeared himself with face paint, wore impossibly large headdresses, and sang about gris-gris, gumbo ya-ya, and croker courtbullion, Anutha Zone is indeed a heartening development.

In the late 60s Dr. John was a visionary musical alchemist, working with psychedelic imagery and funky rhythms to nab the rock crowd, then plying them with spooky swampland mythology and raw Southern R&B.

On Anutha Zone, Dr. John digs deep into that murky musical well once again, with stunning results. John Gris,' Party Hellfire,' and Soulful Warrior' brilliantly fuse slow-burn grooves, sly musicianship, and Dr. John's elegantly gruff vocals, conjuring images of dark revelry down French Quarter back alleyways. This was the comeback of 1998, hands down.

The Music On Vinyl re-issue also contains the insert with a beautiful picture of the mystic man and credits information.

Music On Vinyl and Sony Classical celebrate THE TRULY UNFORGETTABLE VOICE OF FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS on the occasion of the release of Stephen Frears new biopic starring Meryl Steep as the worst opera singer of all time.

For some time there has been wide demand for a reissue of this Florence Foster Jenkins album. Few artists ever gave such unalloyed pleasure as Florence Foster Jenkins. For years her annual recital at the Ritz-Carlton was a private ceremonial for the select few - her stubbornly loyal circle of clubwomen and the adventurous cognoscenti. Finally, on the evening of October 25, 1944, Madame Jenkins took the big step: forsaking the brocade atmosphere of a fashionable hotel ballroom, she braved Carnegie Hall.

The venue was sold out weeks in advance. Two of the numbers she performed that night are contained in this album, taped at private recording sessions of famous soprano arias some years earlier in New York's Melotone Studios. Thanks to these recordings, we can still enjoy the glory of a voice that, in a very peculiar way, has enriched the lives of many generations of music-lovers.

* Limited edition of 1000 first pressings

* First time ever as a standalone vinyl release

* Complete track listing and additional art


Originally released alongside the movie in 2002, the original motion picture soundtrack to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' 13-track score from legendary composer John Williams has been remastered to maximize the recording's dynamic range.

Continuing with I Am Shark's innovative variant character color coordination, which saw the vinyl release of the Episode I soundtrack come in 5 different variations, the upcoming vinyl release of the Episode II soundtrack premieres fan favorite Jango Fett's own colored vinyl pressing (Silver / Transparent Royal Blue Mix).

Aside from beautifully colored vinyl and the eye catching imagery featured on the gatefold packaging, there are hints of a hidden surprise included in this album.

* Limited edition of 1000 first pressings in kelly green/opaque cyan 4-way split vinyl

* First time ever as a standalone vinyl release

I Am Shark is excited to celebrate Star Wars Day with the announcement of the upcoming limited edition vinyl release of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith original motion picture soundtrack.

Available for the first time ever as a standalone vinyl record, the limited edition 1000 copy pressing keeps with I Am Shark's variant color theme found on their previous Star Wars vinyl releases, and is available in the General Grievous variant, an alternating mix of transparent kelly green and intense opaque cyan that emulate the fearsome quadruple lightsaber wielding cyborg.

Opening up the 2xLP gatefold jacket reveals an ominous photo of the newly anointed Darth Vader and The Emperor looking out at the face at the growing Empire at the conclusion of Episode III. This beautiful edition is simply a must have for Star Wars fans, vinyl hounds, and collectors alike.

Originally released on CD alongside the movie in 2005, the Episode III: Revenge of the Sith soundtrack features a score by five-time Oscar winner John Williams, who is also the composer and conductor of the score for each film in the 9 - chapter Star Wars saga. The score found on the Episode III soundtrack is decidedly darker than previous Star Wars prequel soundtracks, as the musical themes match the growing darkness woven into the story and the galaxy as the Empire consolidates its power at the conclusion of the prequel trilogy. Many of the heroic, anthemic themes woven throughout Episode Three: Revenge of the Sith will nonetheless be very familiar to any fan of the series, from the "Imperial March" to the main theme.

* 180 gram audiophile vinyl
* Including 4 tracks previously unreleased on vinyl

West Side Story is the soundtrack to the 1961 film by the same name. All music is composed by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim. When released, the soundtrack spent 54 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's album charts, giving it the longest run at No. 1 of any album in history. Perhaps Michael Jackson's Thriller comes close, on the grounds that West Side Story was listed on a chart for stereo albums only at a time when many albums were recorded in mono.

In 1962, it won a Grammy award for "Best Sound Track Album - Original Cast" and Johnny Richards orchestrations of the movie score (on Kenton's West Side Story) also winning a Grammy in 1962 for "Best Large Ensemble Jazz Album" further bolstering the popularity of the movie and soundtrack. In the United States, it was the best-selling album of the 1960s, certifying three times Platinum in over two decades.

This At The Movies edition contains 4 previously unreleased tracks. The 2LP package is presented in a gatefold sleeve, housed in a sturdy PVC collector's bag.

This release marks the very first time the score to the 1981 slasher-horror classic has been released in any format.

The foreboding score by Paul Zaza is a mix of both minimal synth and orchestral compositions intertwined with bluegrass and country soundtrack cues.

Dying to Say This to You is the second studio album by Swedish new wave group The Sounds. Originally released in 2006, the album blends Swedish-influenced new wave music with a sassy and spunky delivery by vocalist Maja Ivarsson.

The album was recorded at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, and produced by Jeff Saltzman (producer of The Killers' Hot Fuss). Music from the album was featured in the television show CSI: Miami, the MTV reality show The Hills and the TV spot for Geico in the United States. In support of the album The Sounds played over 200 shows in 2006, over half of which were in the United States. Upon its release, Dying to Say This to You was well received by music critics.

The cover depicts The Misshapes' DJ Leigh Lezark on the left and her friend Alexis Page on the right.

Union is the thirteenth album made by progressive Rock band Yes. This was their last release featuring all members of the new line-up (Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Trevor Rabin, Alan White and Tony Kaye) and the ex-Yes members group (Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Steve Howe), hence the name Union. Incredibly enough during the process of recording the album, all eight members did not play together at once.

The album reached #7 in the UK Album charts and #15 in the US Album charts spawning three singles Lift Me Up', Saving My Heart' and I Would Have Waited Forever'.

In 1992 the eight man band supported the release with a world tour after which Bruford, Wakeman and Howe left the band for good.

Conceived and produced by two-fifths of Italian Cinematic combo Calibro 35, guitarist Massimo Martellotta and 2016 Grammy Award winner producer Tommaso Colliva, Record Kicks proudly presents "Il Complesso Di Tadà".

Welcome to a new adventure in the world of the Italian coolest 60s sound. If Calibro 35 explores the weirdest side of Italian soundtracks, Massimo Martellota's new creature "Il Complesso di Tadà" focuses on the grooviest and hip-shaking side of Italian mid 60s Italian TV Shows music. Recorded in Milan and mixed by Tommaso Colliva at his Toomi Labs Studio in London, "Il Complesso di Tadà" is much more than a side project of Calibro 35. Mr. Martellotta has brought together a super tight orchestra made with some of the best musicians of the Italian indie scene (Selton, Jaselli) together with, on vocals, true national icons such as Elio from Elio e Le Storie Tese, Nina Zilli and Filippo Timi. From the opening single, Piero Umiliani's masterpiece, "Mah Na Mah Na" to the beat explosion of "Il Surf Delle Mattonelle" and "Che Colpa Abbiamo Noi" and to classic Italian treasures such as "Sapore Di Sale" and "Guarda Che Luna", the album leads you into a pure and super cool mid 60s experience. Thanks to Massimo's meticulous care of all the details, the sound is super tight and punchy from start to finish, full of percussive rhythms, wild organs and groovy percussions. Alongside the list of the unforgettable Italian pearls, there's also place for a bunch of irresistible groovy instrumental tracks such as "Veloce, Non Troppo", "Allegro" and "Movimentato" all composed by Massimo Martellotta, which mostly reflect his admiration for one of the Italian greatest soundtrack composer of all time Piero Umiliani, as it is also remarked on the album's liner notes that have been written by Piero Umiliani's family.

Get ready for a journey into the coolest sound of Swinging Italy, make yourself a cocktail, turn up the volume and let's party!

"Questo sporco mondo meraviglioso" is one of the numerous collaborations between the director Luigi Scattini and Piero Umiliani, and one of the most interesting and varied soundtracks within the composer's repertoire. A work full of influences and musical quotes, with guests and valuable collaborators such as Edda Dell'Orso and I Cantori Moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni. Some of the songs presented in this album are among his best works.








[H] B1 | Mondo, Dove Vai (complesso beat con effetti elettronici)

The first chapter of Piero Scattini's acclaimed movie trilogy, whose soundtracks were all entrusted into Piero Umiliani's expert hands.
The sumptuous orchestrations, the guests and the prestigious friends who took part in the recordings: Alessandro Alessandroni, Edda Dell'Orso, Franco D'Andrea, Gianni Basso, Oscar Valdambrini and Angelo Baroncini, thus explaining the excellence of the final result, lingering between orchestral and pop music. 'Easy listening', as they used to say, but of extraordinary quality.

As a bonus for turntablists/djs each side of the 7" also contains a 'skip-proof' loop at the end for scratching

Filed neatly and undisturbed within the micro-genre of 1970's Italian artsploitation, amongst films soundtracks such as Girl With The Crystal Plumage, A Quiet Place In The Country and House With The Laughing Windows, this obscure library LP is one of the few fully formed concept albums from the recently reappraised discography of Rome's most versatile and adventurous female production-music composer Daniela Casa. Once destined for a shelf life within the storage rooms of defunct TV studios and educational facilities Daniela's previously strictly commercially unavailable music has in recent years been given new focus at the hands of open-minded disc detectives and sonic salvage hunters earning Casa's distinctive feminine take on experimental instrumental mood and movie compositions a place next to her widely respected masculine counterparts such as Alessandro Alessandroni, AR Luciani, Pierro Umiliani, Morricone and Nicolai.
Sharing tight studio space and strict syndication schedules with all of the aforementioned artists (under commission from Romano Di Bari's fervently independent Flipper music factory) Daniela Casa embraced a liberating wind change in affordable music technology which opened doors for uninhabited solo compositions in home studios taking advantage of communal recording consoles and domestic synthesisers which nurtured a lesser-documented creative family tree (or rather secret society) and paved the way for individualistic projects from the likes of Magnetic System's Fabio Frizzi and Goblin's Claudio Simonetti.Here, on this repress of the impossibly rare, one-time subscription-only album, Arte Moderna, we find Daniela at her versatile best creating a wide thematic suite (based on paintings and sculptures in an abstract art gallery) for which she would deploy mostly organic and acoustic instruments to construct a set of unorthodox compositions straddling avant garde, free jazz and Giallo tension (with some brief moments of brooding electronics and italian pop). Veering from her stylistic pop interests (which clearly included a fondness for the music of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin) Daniela Casa's Arte Moderna saw her adopt a less era specific approach combining neo-classical elements and piano improvisations akin to the likes of France's Francois Tusques or Burton Greene, or America's Mal Waldron without compromising her strong narrative personality for this unique abstracted picture music.
Unintentionally but profoundly political in her prolific existence Daniela Casa's contribution to a predominantly male industry earned her a small clutch of inspired idiosyncratic Italian female bedfellows such as Nora Orlandi, Giullia De Muittis (aka Kema), Fiorella Fratini, Emma De Angelis and Maria Teresa Luciani, who, with faceless anti-celebrity as its essence, never benefitted the wider critical focus that much of this music now duly commands on the collectors circuit. Finders Keepers Records in continued collaboration with the Di Barri company, with the Casa/Ducros family blessing, are now proud to shine new light on this sonic sculptures and provide a fresh context where educated music listeners are ready to fill the gaps between Delia Derbyshire, Ennio Morricone, Suzanne Ciani and Harry Partch and patronise a very welcome considered alternative to the recent rise in popularity of Italian Giallo soundtracks from a seldom savoured feminine creative vantage point. Daniela's musical paintings can now be unveiled to the public for the first time, with Modern Art sounding as contemporary as it did when it was recorded forty years ago. The gallery is now open for limited sittings, discerning ears and open minds.

Legendary soundtrack to legendary film, amazing music, this unique package includes the Pete And Dud radio spots CD.

One of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Originally written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for this cult British movie, first pressings have always been very hard to find. A sublime musical mixture of pop, jazz, psyche and stupidity, this rare score sadly became the victim of terrible bootlegs in the late 1990s, when classic 1960s scores became very much in demand to the easy / jet set / soundtrack in-crowd.

This is the first ever legal repress, and comes with alternate versions of the classic 'Love Me' and 'Bedazzled' cues, as well as the first ever repress of Pete And Dud Cordially Invite You To Hell, an LP of Pete And Dud improvising about the film, that was given out at the premier.

OVERVIEW:
A breathtaking follow-up to the successful Britxotica! LP takes us on a magic carpet ride to a place where the Sphinx, sheiks, sand dances and caravans of camels are the magical, musical norm. But this is music made by post war jazz musicians and show girls from London - blimey! Yes, this is perfect Persian pop and killer Casbah jazz made by Eastenders! It's also British music as rare and as beautiful as Tutankhamun's treasure. You may never come across a more exotic British LP ever again...you'll be cursed if you miss it.

HISTORY:
Britxotica! (pronounced Britzotica') neatly describes an odd and yet undocumented pre-Beatles British musical scene where famed UK composers as well as unknown singers and bandleaders threw convention on holiday and went wild wild wild!

Here we offer up a superb lost recording of Caravan, an insane Eastern Kazoo number, several fierce instrumental dance numbers (one penned by Basil Kirchin!) that will get you sand dancing all over the shop, PLUS charismatic vocal cues about pyramids, late night Desert tristes and outrageous Sutlans.

Ghost Box co-founder Jim Jupp and his loose ensemble of session musicians create a unique kind of upbeat spookiness. They meld krautrock, glam, faux folk and ancient TV soundtracks across eleven joyous, slightly camp and oddly unsettling instrumentals.

Moving away somewhat from the haunted electronics and occult signifiers of the earlier albums, Belbury Poly employ a more diverse instrumental palette to continue the exploration and illustration of a fictional landscape.

On one hand these are light, escapist mood pieces, but as ever with Ghost Box records there's an eerie sense that these sounds are bleeding through from a strangely familiar other world, moving in a very different time stream.

- Soundtrack to the 'Some Greater Class' collaborative performance between Darkstar, Gwilym Gold and director-choreographer Holly Blakey.
- The performance was commissioned by Hales Gallery and supported by Arts Council in 2015 and explores the complexities and contradictions of contemporary performance and its context to a mesmerising electronic soundtrack.
- London-based musician and composer Gwilym Gold has developed a strong relationship with The Vinyl Factory in the past year - previous releases include recordings from the 2015 edition of Doug Aitken's 'Station To Station' on the 'Greener World' EP and two 12's featuring tracks 'Flex', plus a rework from Zomby and 'Muscle', on Eddie Peake's imprint Hymn.
- August 2015 saw the release of 'A Paradise', his critically-lauded debut solo album featuring co- production contributions from James Young of Darkstar, True Panther artist Hyetal and Bullion, whilst four songs feature composer Nico Muhly's verdant, dizzying string arrangements.
- James Young and Aiden Whalley began making music together in London in 2007, releasing their first compositions 'Dead 2 Me' and 'Break' under the name Darkstar on their own 2010 Records label. After albums with Kode9's esteemed label, Hyperdub, they more recently released their third album, 'Foam Island', via Warp Records

In 1965 the previous year's film "A Fistful of Dollars" by Sergio Leone, thanks to its success, had already helped to massively increase the popularity of the 'spaghetti western' genre, together with the leading actors Clint Eastwood and Gian Maria Volonte.

The format is a 10" 45rpm LP, with gatefold cover and a 26x26cm mini poster in purple vinyl. This has been issued as a limited edition of 1000 copies


"For a Few Dollars More" is the natural progression from that movie, with the addition of a third protagonist - Lee Van Cleef - who joins the two actors: a triad that made history for another masterpiece Sergio Leone's masterpiece. Ennio Morricone's music is equally important. The Maestro here chooses a 'poor' registry, consisting of folk instruments such as ocarina, Jew's harp and chimes, respectively used to accompany the entry stage of the three main actors. But there are, as usual, the contributions of Alessandro Alessandroni and his Cantori Moderni choir, for an incredibly exciting final result. This edition sees the eight tracks of the original score in a brand new layout.

Newly re-recorded by Carpenter and his Lost Themes bandmates, these new masters have never been previously released.

Maestro Cipriani is one of the most known and appreciated composers of Italian soundtracks, whose unmistakable style makes it one of the most appreciated and collected. "Rhythmical Movement" came out only as a promo-library LP for CAM records in 1980 and is therefore a very rare album pressed in limited quantity. But what impresses most is the high level content and, as explicitly expressed in the title, no rhythm decreases. After a jazz intro depart sequentially tunes full of funk, soul, samba and disco, with references also to the classic tradition of Italian poliziotteschi for which Cipriani is the absolute Master. Alternating on a drum and congas base are wahwah guitar, but also often distorted as in fierce riffs of "Storm in a teacup" and "Do not tamper with my things", piano-electric and horns. Two tracks, "What can I do" and "Living and Loving" were composed with Michael Fraser, the famous UK musician and producer very active in Italy since the early 70s. Also of note are the curious "Percussion Gun" and "Chicago U.S.A." built on the popular bassline of "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. An unmissable record to listen and dance to, with a wonderful minimal mirror-cover with title in relief.

Widely recognised as one of the greatest and most influential game soundtracks of all time, STREETS OF RAGE 2 remains a towering achievement of the 16bit era. Data Discs is extremely proud to be releasing this masterpiece of FM synthesis, composed by Yuzo Koshiro in 1992 and sounding more relevant today than ever.

The audio has been carefully remastered using multiple sources, including the original NEC PC-88 files supplied by Koshiro himself, and packaged in original artwork sourced from the SEGA archives in Japan.

- 2 x 180g transparent vinyl
- Includes four bonus tracks of demos, alternate versions and unused compositions
- 2 x lithographic prints featuring archival artwork
- Packaged in a gatefold sleeve with traditional OBI strip
- Fully remastered in collaboration with and approved by composer Yuzo Koshiro

Lotte Lenya and Wilhelm Bruckner-Rüggeberg's 1958 recording of Die Dreigroschenoper (The Three Penny Opera) was the last in a series of albums Lenya made or supervised of her late husband Kurt Weill's music for Philips starting in 1955.

By the time of the January 1958 sessions for Die Dreigroschenoper, Lenya found herself widowed once again; second husband George Davis collapsed and died of a heart attack three months before the session, just like her first husband.

That Lenya was able to pull up herself up by her bootstraps and participate in this recording was nothing short of a miracle, though in terms of performing in the role of Jenny, Lenya was the ultimate pro; she knew it in three languages and, in the end, sang it more than 2,000 times.

The 1958 Die Dreigroschenoper was the first complete recording of this work, and likewise the first to represent Weill's score and instrumentation exactly as it is on the page; seeing to it that this occurred without compromise was one of Lenya's duties in the session.

Death Waltz Recording Company are proud to present one of the coolest electronic scores of the 80s on vinyl for the first time ever, with Alan Howarth's music for the 1983 Jim Wynorski classic THE LOST EMPIRE. A thrilling adventure that spans multiple countries that pits a trio of ass-kicking ladies against a mysterious villain and his plan to create an army of female terrorists from his remote island, the film stars cult actress Raven De La Croix (Russ Meyer's UP!) and the late, great Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM).

Howarth's score is what you'd expect from his revered work with John Carpenter on movies like BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and PRINCE OF DARKNESS: full of expansive colours and incessantly memorable synth hooks, with the main theme juxtaposing ghostly effects against a thumping beat that leads into an amazing high keyboard melody that features throughout the score. Howarth mixes different elements; the effortlessly cool tune for LAPD hero Angel Wolfe, the mysterious and dangerous theme for awesome Native American Whitestar, and the Eastern flavours representing the evil of Dr Sin Do and his island of terror. There's no 'in association with' here - THE LOST EMPIRE is pure Alan Howarth, and it's badass to the 9th degree.

The score to the second chapter of Fargo features music by Emmy nominated composer Jeff Russo, and the song soundtrack contains music from the pivotal moments of the limited series featuring artists like Tweedy, Bobby Womack, Fleetwood Mac, The Chieftains feat. Bon Iver a.o.

Jeff Russo has become a prominent composer, songwriter and arranger in the film and television industry. About his work on the series, the composer said: 'Writing for Fargo has allowed me to push the creatively. It's a composer's dream job to be tasked envelope with creating themes, motifs and melodies for such interesting and deep characters with such incredible stories.'

The Various Artists soundtrack (compiled by Maggie Phillips) features music from pivotal moments of the series and iconic artists such as Billy Thorpe and Bobby Womack. The soundtrack also includes striking covers such as 'I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow' by the Coen Brothers (performed by Blitzen Trapper) or Emmylou Harris' 'Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby', performed by score composer Jeff Russo and director Noah Hawley.

The Red Violin is the original soundtrack album of the 1999 film The Red Violin (original title: Le Violon Rouge), starring Carlo Cecchi, Sandra Oh and Samuel L. Jackson.

John Corigliano's score mirrors the intricate, mercurial quality of the film itself, as it traces the travels of a haunted violin from 17th century Italy to 20th century Montreal. The score is divided into five suites, one for each stage of the violin's creation and movement. From Italy to Vienna, Oxford to Shanghai and finally to Montreal, the violin makes an eerie musical journey.

Performed by solo violinist Joshua Bell and the Philharmonia Orchestra and conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Corigliano's The Red Violin is a fitting, haunting counterpart to the picture.

The album won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and was nominated for a Grammy Award: Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
