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.

This release combines You Got The Best of Me', extremely rare on original 7' single, with I Can't Forget About You', never previously released on 7' vinyl. Both songs are Ronn Matlock's best on the 1979 album Love City' from Cotillion Records. The vocal style has been described as Teddy Pendergrass meets Barry White while the music is modern soul from a golden period of strings and horns championed by Earth Wind & Fire and equally legendary producer of these two sides, Michael Stokes. Both are dancefloor gems, I Can't Forget About You' first acknowledged by Expansion in 1994 on the compilation Soul Chasers Vol.2'.

Big Bill Broonzy, the dean of Country-Blues singers, puts it this
way “It’s real. Muddy’s real. See the way he plays guitar?
Mississippi style, not the city way. He don’t play chords, he don’t
follow what’s written down in the book. He plays notes, all blue
notes. Making what he’s thinking.” This album contains a dozen of
Muddy’s most successful recordings, notably Hoochie Coochie
Man, I Just Wanna Make Love To You, Louisiana Blues, Rollin’
Stone and I Can’t Be Satisfied.

Sublime Christian folk jazz from 1970s Norway. In the '60s and '70s churches throughout Europe had serious competition for the attention of its younger members. The ecclesiastical establishment was shocked to hear teenagers expressing 'Sympathy for the Devil' rather than sympathy for Christ and his teachings. In Norway at this time the same situation was prevalent as was happening across Europe; teenagers were turning their back on the church and embracing the temptations and pleasures of the flourishing new pop culture. Priest Olaf Hillestad was all to aware of what was going on, and instead of relying on the floundering traditional methods of rounding up his flock, he embraced the musical aspirations of his younger followers. In so doing he founded the Forum Experimentale in Oslo, an organisation that promised in its statutes to "boldly work for a renewal in service life, church music and church art". It was here in the late '60s where That's Why founder members Jan Simonsen and Per Arne Løvold became responsible for the jazz masses at Forum Experimentale's chapel. Together with some top-notch musicians from other Christian music centres around the Oslo district, they recorded two albums in 1970 and 1971 under the moniker That's Why. That's Why blended deep acoustic and electric jazz with elements of Norwegian folklore and Christianity. They also included interpretations of young and old transcendental Norwegian poets such as Sidsel Mørck Krogdahl, Alfred Hauge and Aslaug Vaa, as well as introducing English and Swedish songwriters such as Åke Rosenstrøm and Charles Wesley and even William Blake's "Children of the Future Age" into the mix. This highly original fusion of secular rhythmic music, jazz improvisation and a distinguished selection of transcendental lyrics is one of the standout qualities of That's Why, separating them from more programme-orientated Christian music. The unique mix leads the listener to think they are hearing among the record grooves the tightness of grey, sober Protestantism along with the ecstasy of a lay preacher. This listener, for one, has never heard anything quite like it.

Als Antwort auf das große Interesse an Vinyls und als Fortsetzung des großen Erfolgs der Vinyl-Komponisten bei Warner Classics (Beethoven, Pärt, Debussy, Piazzolla und zuletzt Chopin, Mozart und Bach) konzentriert sich das neue Album auf DEN Komponisten der deutschen Romantik: Franz Schubert. Eine LP mit dem gleichen frischen Artwork wie die Vorgängerversion Mozart & Bach, mit den Höhepunkten der größten Meisterwerke, interpretiert von erstklassigen Musikern wie Elisabeth Leonskaja, Barbara Bonney, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Alexandre Tharaud, dem Alban Berg Quartett, Gautier Capuçon, Renaud Capuçon, Ian Bostridge und Antonio Pappano.

This is one of the last Chet Baker albums recorded in the States prior to the artists relocating to Europe in the early ‘60s. Likewise, the eight-tune collection was the final effort issued during his brief association with the Riverside Records imprint. The project was undoubtedly spurred on by the overwhelming success of the Shelly Manne-led combo that interpreted titles taken from the score to My Fair Lady (1956). In addition to becoming an instant classic, Manne’s LP was also among of the best-selling jazz platters of all time. While Baker and crew may have gained their inspiration from Manne, these readings are comparatively understated. That said, the timelessness of the melodies, coupled with the assembled backing aggregate, make ‘Chet Baker Plays the best of Lerner and Loewe’ a memorable concept album.

Slave featuring Steve Arrington is being reissued on vinyl for the first time since it’s 1978 release. After the successful reception to Rhino's Zapp and Roger - All The Greatest Hits release for Black Music Month, Rhino has got another excellent and unexpected addition for any funk collector!

Arguably the hottest of the '70s Ohio funk bands, Slave had an incredible run in the late '70s and early '80s. Their best tracks were lyrically simple, but the arrangements and rhythms were intense and hypnotic. Some of their top hits include "Just a Touch of Love" in 1979, "Watching You" in 1980, and "Snap Shot" in 1981 – which you can expect to hear on this new reissue.

Legendary international DJ, Keb Darge, fell under the spell of this music when his Japanese girlfriend forced him to go down to a ‘Rockabilly’ night back in 1989. As soon as the DJ dropped the needle on Johnny Burnette’s ‘Rockabilly Boogie’ Keb was mesmerized. He was soon hunting down the hideously rare top tunes and slipping thousands of pounds into specialist collectors like Boz Boorer’s back pocket, when the legendary guitarist was not recording or touring with Morrissey. Of course, Keb was then taking these records and introducing them to new audiences in his DJ sets worldwide.

Although it has taken an age to persuade him, Keb has now applied his perfectionist compiling skills to pick 14 killers to grace this fantastic collection. Ranging from the bopping Glen Glenn’s ‘Blue Jeans and A Boy’s Shirt’ to the almost hillbilly Jimmy Johnson’s ‘All Dressed Up’. This is a must-have compilation not only for those who have been oiling their quiffs for decades, but also those wondering what this “rockabilly” is all about. Keb drops you in at the deep end with no easy-going fillers, and you’ll be glad he did.

Keb has written the sleeve notes and with cover art by the legendary Robin Banks – this album looks as good as it sounds.

Das 35-jährige Jubiläum der Popsensation Milli Vanilli wird mit einer besonderen Veröffentlichung gefeiert, die eine Hommage an die zeitlosen Hits der Kultgruppe darstellt: "The Best of Milli Vanilli (35th Anniversary)". Diese Zusammenstellung verspricht den Fans eine Reise durch Songs, die eine Ära prägten, darunter Chartstürmer wie "Girl You Know It's True", "Blame It On the Rain", "I'm Gonna Miss You" und "Baby Don't Forget My Number". Diese Songs begeistern noch heute ein weltweites Publikum und zeigen den anhaltenden Einfluss von Milli Vanilli auf die Musiklandschaft. Milli Vanilli war eine der populärsten Musikgruppen in den späten 80er und frühen 90er Jahren, von ihrem ersten Album "All Or Nothing" wurden weltweit über 8 Millionen Exemplare verkauft. Mit ihrem Debüt-Hit "Girl, You Know It's True" wurde ein einzigartiger Hype ausgelöst, der die beiden ehemaligen Clubtänzer Rob Pilatus und Fab Morvan zu Pop-Superstars machte. Sie wurden bejubelt, verehrt und gefeiert. 1990 wurde die Gruppe mit einem Grammy als "Best New Artist" ausgezeichnet, der ihr später wieder aberkannt wurde, nachdem bekannt geworden war, dass Rob Pilatus und Fab Morvan - das Gesicht des Projekts - nie wirklich gesungen hatten. Die Songs wurden von Frank Farian produziert - der auch hinter anderen Gruppen wie Boney M., La Bouche und No Mercy steckt - und verwendete die Stimmen der Sänger Brad Howell, John Davis, Jodie Rocco, Linda Rocco und Charles Shaw. Der Skandal machte weltweit Schlagzeilen und das Duo ging getrennte Wege
