Ron Dante was without question one of the hottest singers on the 1969 pop hit parade, sailing in the same commercial stratosphere as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and 5th Dimension. As the lead singer of the Archies, he had the year’s biggest selling song with the #1 Hit “Sugar Sugar.” Ron’s golden voice was coveted by every producer in Manhattan and he was the “go to” guy at Don Kirschner’s legendary Brill Building. Even Madison Avenue called as Dante made national TV jingles for American Airlines, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Tang, and Gillette. As a Broadway producer he had hits with “Ain’t Misbehavin” and “Children Of A Lessor God.” In a career high, Ron sold over 60 million records as the producer and background singer of the first nine Barry Manilow albums.

This is a very limited repress of the classic third release on Hectic Records. It comes in glorious transparent yellow vinyl!

* This EP was absolutely huge when originally released, and the same is expected for this wonderful remaster and repress. Much sought after, and deservedly so, a big EP from back in the day is finally on its way….

Sunset Rubdown are set to release their fourth studio album_the first in fifteen years!_Always Happy To Explode.Twenty years ago Spencer Krug began using the name Sunset Rubdown for his solo bedroom recordings, experiments too low-fi and odd for what was then a blossoming Wolf Parade, but by 2005 Sunset Rubdown had evolved into a full band, with Michael Doerksen, Jordan Robson-Cramer, and Camilla Wynne joining Krug on stage and in the studio. The band recorded their third critically-acclaimed album, Dragon Slayer, in Chicago in 2008, then went on to play their last show in Tokyo in 2009, with the implicit knowledge it was their last. They broke up quietly, their certitude that they'd never reunite growing as the years rolled on. Then one night more than a dozen years after their final show Krug had a dream (he really did) that the band reunited, and the first thing he did upon awakening was email the band to see if the dream might be made real. The answer was a resounding yes, and soon enough Sunset Rubdown was onstage again. The first show in fourteen years was in Montreal, where they had formed so long ago. The tour was a success, most crucially in terms of having fun, the main condition of their continued pursuits. This fun was thanks in no small part to their blithesome new member, bassist Nicholas Merz. And thus they decided to make a new album together. The record is composed of nine songs cherry-picked from demos that Krug has been posting to his Patreon page over recent years, with the songs in many cases being pared down from their previous incarnations, yet no less lush. Being a band is no easy feat, perhaps especially as members age and spread across the continent, but it certainly is a privilege. With Always Happy to Explode, Sunset Rubdown have made something that captures their gratitude and the energy of their joyous (and sometimes difficult) reunion.

The Early Seminal Songs of Willie Nelson.

“I’ll never be Willie Nelson. He’s the master.” Neil Young “Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is” Willie Nelson The breadth and scope of Willie Nelson’s career is staggering. He first established himself as part of a new generation of progressive country songwriters in the early ‘60s.
Here are the obscure and rarely heard demo recordings he made prior to signing to Liberty and before RCA.
All of these recordings are both musically and historically significant."

Lightnin’ Hopkins is widely considered one of the great popular architects of the blues style that came be known as “country blues” and which proved to be huge influence on the future development of Rock ‘n’ Roll. “Mojo Hand” was one of Hopkins‘ signature tunes. Mixing his own style with Louisiana Creole and voodoo culture, the song ripples with an occult energy.This album, recorded for Fire Records, is especially interesting because it casts Hopkins in a more R&B-flavored environment. This obvious effort to get a hit takes for some excellent blues; moody and powerful performances play throughout. The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings wrote that "Lightnin' is focused and businesslike and delivers a strong and varied sequence of songs; the bassist and drummer unobtrusive but very much there”.

Part 1(LENGLP008) due in May, here is basic info for Part 2 (Due Early June)

"Multiplatinum hitmakers Fastball are remembering it's okay to have hits. Reflecting on their meteoric rise with chart-topping debut “The Way,” guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga wryly remarks, “I like to say that ‘The Way’ gave us the freedom to continue doing what we do.”

And what Fastball does is write hits. Their latest, Sonic Ranch, produced by David Garza (Fiona Apple) and John Fields (Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus), is ten sing-along gems, combining pop smarts & the wisdom of 30 years together."

Die erste Singleauskopplung aus Jimi Tenors neuem Timmion-Album "Is There Love In Outer Space?" wirkt wie eine Wüstenbrise aus dem kosmischen Liederbuch des nigerianischen Keyboarders Mamman Sani aus den 1980er Jahren. Vielleicht ist es genau dieses Panorama, das Tenor und Cold Diamond & Mink uns vor Augen führen wollen, während wir die beiden Seiten dieser Vinyl-Single durchqueren. Spätestens das psychedelische Wüstenblues-Gitarrensolo versetzt uns auf eine kalte Sahara-Sanddüne, wo wir einen magischen Sonnenaufgang auf Mutter Erde beobachten, den nur wenige Menschen erleben dürfen. Dies ist die Art von Jam, bei der man die Augen schließen und sich von den Farblandschaften des Geistes erfüllen lassen kann. Die minimalen Gesangsparts wirken wie ein Willkommensgruß an die Sonne, die langsam am Horizont emporsteigt und bereit ist, ihre brennenden Arme um alle Dinge zu legen - lebende und tote gleichermaßen. Mit ihrem neuen gemeinsamen Projekt hauchen Jimi Tenor und Cold Diamond & Mink den bewährten Stilen des jeweils anderen eine neue Art von Leben ein und liefern eine natürliche Verschmelzung von kosmischer und rauer Soulmusik.
