 Clairaudience Fellowship
Twig Harper And Daniel Higgs
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Limited Edition Clairaudience Fellowship is the new album from Twig Harper and Daniel Higgs, two legendary forces in the realms of experimental/noise/rock/out music.
Twig Harper is a performer and electronic sound artist who began playing guerrilla-and punk-style shows with Scheme, Mini-Systems and Nautical Almanac in the milleu of Wolf Eyes, Andrew W.K. and others involved in the Bulb/Hanson 90s noise/total music movement in Ann Arbor, MI. Moving first to Chicago and then to Baltimore, he has toured widely in the US (five multi-month tours) and Europe (twice) with Carly Ptak and others. With Ptak, he has released many recordings and co-founded the influential Tarantula Hill venue-compound. His music and performances have been characterized generally by an incredible sense of trickery and playfulness, even foolishness, but in earnest and with careful consideration.
Daniel Higgs is a musician and artist from Baltimore, Maryland on whose behalf superlatives are destined to fail. It's not that his artistic output spanning three decades, numerous albums, books of poetry and collections of drawings simply eludes classification, it defies it. Higgs is known for his work as the sole lyricist and frontman of the band Lungfish, a four-piece enshrined as one of America's last true folk bands, and Higgs anointed as a patron saint to artistic purity. That the band has undertaken this pursuit in the guise of a humble rock outfit, in the absence of any public relations fanfare, metanarrative, or manifesto has been enough to endear them to tens of thousands. In recent years, Higgs has released a number of solo outings that can only be described as the ultimate in isolation, worlds away from the hypnotic, communal rock of his band. His latest solo recording Say God was released earlier this year on Thrill Jockey.

Limited Edition White Noise Sound is the eponymous debut from the Swansea/Cardiff, Wales-based sextet. Completed with the help of Pete Kember (Spacemen 3, Spectrum and E.A.R) and magician Cian Ciaran (Super Furry Animals), the album is the realization of a band conjuring their own particular wall-of-sound, at once relentlessly pulsating and blissed-out. The band had honed their craft across the UK and through Germany where they supported the likes of The Warlocks, Spectrum, Mark Gardener (Ride) and the Super Furry Animals, and shared the stage with members of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized. White Noise Sound is a psychedelic dream-piece.

 Music For Egon Schiele
Rachel's
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Originally released on Quarterstick Records in 1996, Music for Egon Schiele is the soundtrack to a piece of dance and theater that debuted at the Itinerant Theater Guild in 1995 in Chicago. Based on the life of the romantic and controversial Viennese painter, Egon Schiele was written and directed by Stephen Mazurek, who headed the group of performing artists. Rachel Grimes composed the music and performed it with two string musicians during the run of the performance.
As Rachels second album, Music for Egon Schiele contains a more stripped down and immediate musical focus than their first album, Handwriting. The playing is primarily piano and cello throughout the recording. Although the footsteps laid on the first record are here, this is definitely more of the road less traveled. An interpretation of emotions and colors played out on the stage and embodied by the Rachels to capture expression of colors and tones in musical notation. These songs are not sparse, theyre beautiful. They build, they crash, and they make you wish you knew more about the mysteries it holds.
Track Listing:
1. Family Portrait

 Underslept
Systems Officer
$19.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Limited Edition Systems Officer is the solo guise of Armistead Burwell Smith IV, the prolific multi-instrumentalist songwriter and founding member of Pinback and Three Mile Pilot. Written and recorded between breaks in the rigorous Pinback recording and touring schedule, Underslept is five years in the making, a concise collection of thoughtful, complex pop songs.
Written, produced and performed by Smith in his home studio, Underslept features the same kind of intricate arrangements and layered vocal harmonies that have become a trademark of Pinback, with nods to the dramatic tone that marks the best Three Mile Pilot songs.
Underslept gives Smith, already one of rocks most innovative and influential bass players, the opportunity to place his often understated gifts as a singer and songwriter front and center, drawing influence from The Police, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and The Beach Boys to craft thoughtful, progressive pop with spiky hooks and impressively high replay value.

 Future Weather
War On Drugs, The
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
The War On Drugs is once again at the blurred edges of American music: overexposing studio limitations, piling tape upon tape to maximum density, and then, with each song, they pull off the scaffolding to reveal what sticks, keeping only whats absolutely necessary to dig into further. As on their debut Wagonwheel Blues, they take small moments occurring over multiple tapes and multiple song versions, and put every last drop of trust in their own instinct of momentum.
Future Weather is a provocative sometimes playful, sometimes weighty glimpse into The War On Drugs song-sculpting process, a process that remains a big mystery even to those on the inside. While some bands are content to merely pace the abyss, The War On Drugs coast through it. And along the way, Future Weather sidesteps most every connotation associated with the EP format. Theres a true coalescence and symmetry here, one of wash and drone, of momentum and tone, but also of theme.
Track Listing:
1. Come to the City #14
2. Baby Missiles
3. Comin' Through
4. A Pile of Tires

Three did a few short tours, and recorded at Geoff's home studio as well as Inner Ear.

 Look What The Cat Dragged In
Poison
$24.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
1987 marks the debut of this multi-platinum smash from Harrisburg, Pennsylvanias hard rock sons Poison. Fronted by the driving lead vocals of Bret Michaels, the multi-talented Bobby Dahl on bass, the power drums of Rikki Rockett and the guitar chops of C.C. DeVille, Look What The Cat Dragged In proved to be worth its weight in gold and platinum sales.
Featuring three mega hits with "I Want Action," "Talk Dirty To Me" and the power ballad "I Wont Forget You," this album is known as one of the first hard rock/metal albums to bridge the old school with the new and is still considered one of the strongest hard rock debuts ever.
Friday Music is very proud to announce the Poison 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl series beginning with their stellar smash debut Look What The Cat Dragged In. The album was mastered impeccably from the original Enigma Records/Capitol Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios in Huntington Beach, CA and at Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA.

 Pure Cult Singles Compilation
The Cult
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Released domestically for the first time, remastered and with reworked art. Pure Cult is a definitive compilation, bringing together all of The Cult's singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary," "Fire Woman" and more.
The Cult, unlike its predecessor bands the Southern Death Cult and the Death Cult, was unapologetic about its mainstream rock & roll aspirations, which makes Pure Cult the best possible starting place for the group. The Cult was a singles band, and a pretty great one, too, as evidenced by the Stones-like "Love Removal Machine" and the blazing "Fire Woman."
The ensemble's mixture of '60s influences and hard-rock power helped define a whole subset of the late-'80s alternative-rock scene, and it's fair to say that groups like Stone Temple Pilots owed at least some of their success to the Cult's early flirtations with the rock mainstream. Pure Cult gives a good sense of the band's surprisingly organic shift in sound, ranging from the gothy neo-psychedelia of "She Sells Sanctuary" to the sneering rock of "Star."
Track Listing:
1. She Sells Sanctuary
2. Fire Woman
3. Lil Devil
4. Spiritwalker
5. The Witch

 Messenger
Joe Pugg
$16.99
Vinyl LP
|
After playing over 200 shows, including runs with Steve Earle, M. Ward and Josh Ritter, Pug took to the studio to record his sophomore release. While the Nation of Heat EP may have earned him the title of talent to watch, with Messenger, Pug explores new territory, sneaking pedal steel guitar into The Sharpest Crown and backing The Door is Always Open with a powerhouse rhythm section. He does not, however, let his solo charm escape the album. Songs like Bury Me Far (From My Uniform) and Unsophisticated Heart make it obvious that Pug is still master of the guy-and-the-guitar song.
Track Listing:
1.Messenger
2. How Good You Are

 Cerulean
Baths
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Cerulean is the auspicious debut from Los Angeles's Baths. Evolving out of Will Wiesenfeld's varied Post-Foetus project and inspired by the energy of the city's burgeoning beat scene, the record departs from both; an often warm, acoustic-fueled electronic music hews closer to the work of contemporaries like Toro Y Moi. Combining songwriting with self-sampling, raw musicianship with synthesized textures, and field recordings with propulsive beats, Baths packs a seething sound-cloud with bright moments and unexpected turns.
For evidence, look no further than album opener "Apologetic Shoulderblades," where a swooning choir of vocals catches a wave of skittering percussion and rides forth in epic fashion. The effect is more baroque pop than bass thump, a digitally infused dust storm that sounds like vintage Broken Social Scene gone glitch. The equally eclectic "Lovely Bloodflow" spins rich gloom out of organic, Books-like cut-and-paste and Baths' strange, soulful crooning.
A general romanticism persists on Cerulean, both in its lushness of sound and in Baths' lyrics as they capture the whimsy and wistfulness of relationships. On the taut, piano-driven "♥," Wiesenfeld sings of two lovers escaping under the cover of night, voice swaying and quavering a la Daniel Rossen in Department of Eagles. For "Aminals," the album's most unabashedly joyous track, Baths lets others do the talking, weaving children's voices into a field of instruments first played live, then chopped into interlocking bits.
Baths excels at crafting thick, living compositions that, while dense, never sound needlessly busy. To this end he employs guitars, bass, various keys, snapping scissors, clicking pens, rustling blankets and more. On record, these sounds lose their origins, congealing into roiling melodic tracks like "Hall" and "Plea," or delivering something stormy and ebullient, like late-album standout "You're My Excuse to Travel." In either case, Cerulean handily portrays Baths as a vital new talent unbound by genre and spurred on by song.
Track Listing:
1. Apologetic Shoulder Blades
2. Lovely Bloodflow
3. Maximalist
4. Heart
5. Aminals
6. Rafting Sharlit Everglades
7. Hail
8. You're My Excuse To Travel

 Black Tambourine
Black Tambourine
$12.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
They released only a handful of songs in their two-year lifetime, but Black Tambourine has been hugely influential in the world of indie music. The band's dark, dreamy sound was consonant with the shoegaze sounds of the day, but the classic '60s-influenced songwriting gives their tunes a timeless appeal. Formed in 1989 as a side project by members of Whorl and Velocity Girl, they soon recruited Pam Berry as vocalist. Two singles quickly followed, along with a few compilation contributions. Alas, other obligations became more pressing and the band called it a day in 1991.
As the band's 20th anniversary arrives, Black Tambourine gathers all their released songs, and handily trumps 1999's Complete Recordings reissue by including six unreleased tunes. Songs like "Black Car," "We Can't Be Friends" and "Throw Aggi Off the Bridge" are foundation documents of indie-pop and sound as fresh today as when they were recorded 20 years ago. And while classics like "Pack You Up" and "Drown" can stand on their own just fine, the band has taken the rather unexpected step of reuniting to record four new songs exclusively for this compilation. Consisting of two originals and two covers (of Buddy Holly and Suicide), these recordings include all of the original members and are quite true to the Black Tambourine spirit. The songs were part of the band's repertoire back in the day and never got recorded, so these added tracks truly round out the Black Tambourine picture and make this a very special release indeed.
Track Listing:
1. For Ex-Lovers Only
2. Black Car
3. Pack You Up
4. Can't Explain
5. I Was Wrong

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
2 LP plus Bonus CD of the Album
Back in the days when full-length LPs were still considered a luxury item, record labels devised a way to get people to buy them: hire an unknown singer to do a full-length albums worth of cover versions of all the latest hits. People bought these albums because it was an affordable way to amass a collection of the latest hits, and cheaper than buying the original singles. In the late sixties Elton John was one of these unknown singers and although the cover albums did not afford him with much creative room (given that by contract he was not allowed to reinterpret any of the covers), they did pay the rent.
An interesting glimpse at Elton before he became a pop starwho knows if his mastery of the pop song is not in some small way owed to this early apprenticeship inside the belly of the beast.

 Dad Loves His Work
James Taylor
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Recorded amidst a failing marriage, ongoing heroin addiction, alcohol dependency, and a sense of fading commercial prowess, James Taylors Dad Loves His Work is an emotional juggernaut and musical marvel. Long considered a classic of the singer-songwriter domain, the 1981 effort stands as Taylors last real great album and an involving aural artwork that simmers with honesty, conviction, and feeling.
Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelitys numbered limited-edition 180g LP marks the first time this classic has been properly remastered. Far exceeding the sonics of Sonys CD reissue, this audiophile version lifts up the cover on a world of sound, with Taylors mellow finger-picked guitar melodies, gently reassuring vocals, and bittersweet deliveries brought to the fore. Listeners will also be able to relax amidst the soft clouds of comforting background singing by ace guests Jennifer Warnes, J.D. Souther, and Peter Asher.
With the title reflecting the singers answer to his then-wife, Carly Simon, Dad Loves His Work remains a statement of certainty and priority that Taylor invests with devastating poignancy, physiological soulfulness, and universal pathos. Balancing the biting edginess and forlorn despair with equal parts self-deprecating humor and rapier wit, Taylors songwriting on such nuggets as Hard Times, Hour That the Morning Comes, and charged Stand and Fight is among the best of his career.
No surprise, then, that Taylor wasnt only looking at and reflecting upon his own life, but that of his relationship with his own father and ancestors. The emotional repercussions involved with such looming themes trickle through the harmony-laden music, spurred by the vocalists trademark acoustic guitar, shivering harmonicas, Rhodes pianos, myriad percussive devices, and tasteful synthesizer passages.
Taylors definitive duet with Souther on Her Town Too bridged both the pop and adult-contemporary charts, catapulting Dad Loves His Work in the Top Ten and past sales of one million copies. Similarly, Taylor expands his horizons on the politically motivated Sugar Trade, co-written by Jimmy Buffett.
Mobile Fidelitys collectible audiophile 180g LP brings you into Taylors private world with unparalleled intensity and extreme closeness. Taylor feels every word he sings on this record, and now, thanks to meticulous remastering efforts, his expressiveness and sensitivity coming through via unencumbered transparency and dynamic acoustics. This edition of Dad Loves His Work is not to be missed!

 Verdugo Hills
Caroline
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Five years ago, Caroline Lufkin made ripples across the Japanese pop music scene when she famously walked away from a lucrative major label contract that virtually guaranteed the same kind of bright-light super-stardom that made her sister Olivia a household name in Tokyo. Instead, Caroline took the long way; a slow, creatively fulfilling path where she writes, performs and records her own songs and owns her every success or failure, while taking pride in both.
Verdugo Hills builds upon the same minimalist, angelic pop that made her debut album, Murmurs, so striking. Having spent the past several years as a full-time member of the small musical army that is Mice Parade, Caroline has mastered the art of mingling a dozen or more distinct sounds to form miniature symphonies for the soul that can turn from an icy chill to a warm glow in the span of a few breaths. Her lyrical delivery and subject matter have matured enormously, exposing new depths to her emotional range to accompany the deceptively subdued mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.
Ultimately Verdugo Hills succeeds emphatically in giving electronic music a comforting heartbeat and a contemplative soul, feats Caroline were unlikely to accomplish had she taken the straight road to overnight fame and fortune. She has become an intriguing and understated figure in the world of electronic pop music, accelerating the genre with startling, unexpected beauty while leaving lasting impressions on all of us who are along for the ride.

 Special Beat Service

Numbered Limited Edition
1982 Smash Propelled Two-Tone Ska Revivalists to Commercial Fame: Police, Jam, Specials Fans Need This LP
Record Contains Irresistible Original Version of "Save It For Later," Longtime Pearl Jam Concert Staple
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI (Best Plant in America): Spaciousness Amidst Instruments, Midrange Dynamics Vastly Improved
In the early 1980s, many bands began borrowing styles initially made popular in other regions of the world, spicing their own sound up with exotic textures and foreign rhythms. Few groups perfected the mix-and-match hybrid with more everlasting appeal and contagious melodicism than The English Beat, a multi-cultural ensemble whose Special Beat Service dominated the charts, scored with the critics, and captivated listeners.
Blending jazzy saxophones, pop hooks, calypso accents, firm beats, jangly guitars, and scores of other creative devices, the 1982 set has always been ripe for sonic restoration. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI (the best record plant in North America), Silver Label numbered limited edition LP brings the music's colorful flair and cross-continental vibes to the fore, eliminating the haze and artificial ceilings that flaw previous pressings. The Caribbean flavors, dub pulses, and irresistible refrains now jump with palpable energy and feet-tapping verve. You'll be addicted as soon as the needle drops into the first grooves of the record.
A feel-good set from start to finish, Special Beat Service bows down to the power of great pop. But within this framework, The English Beat weaves in brilliant threads of music plucked from Jamaica (reggae and dub), its native England (new wave and Merseybeat), and the United States (post-punk and Motown). While many recognize them as Two-Tone ska revivalists, the group's arrangements reach far beyond any label, a breadth immediately recognized on multifaceted tracks such as "Sugar & Stress," "Ackee 123," and "Sole Salvation."
In particular, the band's "Save It For Later" became an anthem that is still heard today. A precursor to the influential Britpop sound that followed nearly a decade later, the hit rides on a flexible bass line, sly sexual lyrics, and rolling guitar-driven lines that even the Beatles would envy. Years ago, Pearl Jam resurrected the classic by tacking it onto the end of its "Betterman" in concert, and to this day, it remains a live favorite. You need to experience the original in the highest-possible fidelity.
No mere revivalists or retro-minded purveyors, The English Beat created a true 80s pop masterpiece with Special Beat Service. Mobile Fidelity Silver Series' LP presents the songs as they were meant to be heard, and will have you dancing in no time. If you're a fan of the Police, Madness, The Specials, The Clash, The Jam, or the Wailers, you need this LP.

 Photos Of Ghosts

Vinyl LP - Sealed

Import
The Italian progressive rock band, Premiata Forneria Marconi, was the first (and one of the only) Italian rock bands to have success abroad, touring extensively in both the U.K. and U.S. and receiving considerable airplay on American and British rock radio stations. They were also innovators in that they were one of the first Italian bands to use the synthesizer and bring classical/Italian folk music into the rock music arena. In the early '70s PFM came to the attention of Peter Sinfield (King Crimson, Roxy Music), who helped them get a record deal with ELP's Manticore. Manticore soon released their third album, the 1973 prog rock classic, Photos Of Ghosts, which was actually a reworking of their earlier Italian release Per Un Amico. Sinfield was so enthusiastic about the group that, in addition to helping to produce and mix the album at Advision Studios in London, he also helped pen the album's english lyrics. Gatefold edition and innersleeve with lyrics.

 The World Is Yours
Motorhead
$22.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Motorhead have never just been the best rock 'n' roll band in the world. They've never just been the loudest. Or the hardest. Or the toughest. Or the meanest. No, Motorhead is also a lifestyle. Motorhead is a mindset, a belief, a way to live your life, a way to both survive and beat a society that sometimes seems intent on trying to grind you down.
Which is why Motorhead have chosen now, in what might be some of the most tense times in recent global history, to release a hell-raising, rebel-rousing rock 'n' roll statement known as The World Is Yours. Written and performed by Lemmy Kilmister, Philip Campbell and Mikkey Dee in both Los Angeles, CA and Wales, with production once again by Cameron Webb, The World Is Yours serves to remind everyone that you should never stop questioning or critiquing a society that would surely chew you up and spit you if given half a chance.
And with 10 soul-scorching testaments to the unbridled power this world-famous trio continually maintain, The World Is Yours delivers some of the finest, most important Motormusic yet. With the defi-anthem, uproarious "Rock 'n' Roll Music," Kilmister and company remind everyone that "rock 'n' roll music is the true religion" and "rock 'n' roll even gonna set you free, make the lame walk and the blind see." With The World Is Yours, the band have triumphed over adversity to produce an absolute stormer in this, their 35th year as the greatest, loudest and just plain goddam coolest band around.

It seems that Jim Morrison of The Doors called the group the single most powerful band he had ever seen.
'What Doesn't Kill You...' is their tenth and final studio album, originally released in 2007.
In October 2009 singer/bassplayer Dickie Peterson died of a severe illness.
After Peterson's death, longtime Blue Cheer guitarist Andrew MacDonald wrote on the group's website that Blue Cheer will never become a viable touring band again.

 H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player
Howard Roberts
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP- Sealed
|
In the pantheon of under-the-radar American guitar heroes, Howard Roberts looms large. A remarkably versatile musician who was one of Los Angeles' most in-demand session players from the early 1950s through the 1970s, Roberts' career encompassed an incredible array of studio assignments. He recorded with a dizzying assortment of acts, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, Dean Martin, Sonny and Cher, the Jackson 5, Peggy Lee, Eddie Cochran, Chet Atkins and the Electric Prunes. He also played on countless film and television soundtracks; his guitar work is featured prominently in the iconic theme music of The Twilight Zone, The Munsters and I Dream of Jeannie.
Roberts was also an accomplished musical educator, co-founding Hollywood's Guitar Institute of Technology, writing a regular instructional column on jazz improvisation for Guitar Player magazine, and penning several highly-regarded guitar instruction books. As a guitar teacher, one of his students was a teenaged Phil Spector, for whom Roberts would later work as a session man.
Impressive as his session resume is, for many guitar aficionados, the real highlights of Howard Roberts' body of work are the instrumental albums he released under his own name throughout his career. One of his best-loved solo releases is the memorably titled H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player, originally released by Capitol Records in 1963. Recorded at the legendary Studio A in the Capitol Tower, with a band that includes fellow studio legends Chuck Berghofer and Earl Palmer on bass and drums, H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player is a potent showcase for Roberts' fluid, swinging guitar work. The material offers ample opportunity for the artist to demonstrate his versatility, encompassing pop standards 9Lerner, Loewe "If Ever I Would Leave You"), bossa nova (Antonio Carlos Jobim's "One Note Samba") and jazz (tunes by Herbie Hancock, Count Basie and Duke Ellington), along with such Roberts originals as "Smolderin'," "Turista," "Deep Fry" and "Dirty Old Bossa Nova."
Long unavailable in its original form, this vintage instrumental gem has been restored to its original vinyl glory by Sundazed Music. The album has been sourced from the original stereo masters and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with complete original cover art.

1.Watermelon Man

Following the success of the recently released Psych
Funk 101, Brasilian Guitar, Fuzz Bananas should serve
as a master class for those entranced by the funky,
heavy psychedelic wonders of the Tropicalia

Mutantes or their maestro Rogerio Duprat on this

contained here have never been reissued. Even though
you will recognize some of the labels contained here
believe me when I write this: some of the rarest, and
best, examples of fuzzy, funky Brazilian psychedelia
came out as promo-only 7 records on these labels.
Each song contained on this album has never been
reissued, and has been restored from the best source
possible and remastered for near-perfect sound quality.

Buffalo is the latest album from kaleidoscopic pop group The Phoenix Foundation, whose last one, Happy Endingoriginally released on the legendary Flying Nun labelhad critics hailing them as New Zealands best kept secret. Now signed to Memphis Industries, home to friends and fellow countrymen The Ruby Suns, the band is set to remain a secret no longer.
From intelligent and infectiously catchy gems to epic, psychedelic prog explorations, The Phoenix Foundations glorious pop polyglot combines sun-bleached harmonies, chiming guitars, progressive synthscapes and subliminal rhythms to glorious effect. Slung between romance and absurdity, their music can move one to laughter or tears, or whisk one off into another world, without ever losing its poise. And, already a hit Down Under, where it has spent five consecutive weeks in the top ten, Buffalo is the bands warmest, most lovable recording yet.
Since releasing Happy Ending, The Phoenix Foundations world has become a lot bigger, their music traveling around the globe and the band following in its wake, hitting the UK, the US and various parts of mainland Europe. They have also lent their skills to score Oscar-nominated Kiwi director Taiki Waititis films Eagle Versus Shark and 2010s Berlin-Film-Festival-winning Boy.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

By now, the musical exploits of Scott Wino Weinrich are the stuff of legend. The Obsessed. Saint Vitus. Spirit Caravan. The Hidden Hand. Shrinebuilder. After releasing his solo debut in 2009, Wino went acoustic in early 2011 with Adrift, a gut-wrenchingly personal album written by a man who has survived a lifetime of gut-wrenching scenarios and lived to tell the tales.
WinoĘĽs latest project sees him plugged back in, both to his amplifier and the full-band format. Enter Premonition 13, a musical entity that finds its genesis in jam sessions dating back two decades, when Wino first met fellow guitarist Jim Sparky Karow. To round things out they enlisted the talents of Ostinato drummer Matthew Clark and former Meatjack bassist Brian Daniloski.
Recorded at RTX guitarist Brian McKinleyĘĽs unnamed studio in Costa Mesa, California, Premonition 13ĘĽs debut, 13 sees Wino venturing into territories both new and familiar. Musically, Wino cites Black Sabbath, King Crimson and his previous conspiracy-minded band The Hidden Hand as reference points for Premonition 13. He and Karow also make generous use of the E-Bow, a handheld guitar effect that sustains notes in a battery-powered electromagnetic field.

 Death Of A Ladies Man
Leonard Cohen
$24.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

Leonard Cohen's fifth album (released by Warner Bros. in 1977) was produced and co-written by Phil Spector. The duo managed to write 15 songs in just three weeks together but only 8 made the final cut of the album. The combination of Spector's famous 'Wall Of Sound', a general sense of loose fun in the studio and the unbridled sexuality and voyeurism of the lyrics certainly represents a big step forward. At the same time, Death Of A Ladies' Man both lyrically and stylistically is one of Cohen's career peaks, maybe even a masterpiece. Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg even sing backup vocals here on the chorus of the classic "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On." 180 gram vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

 Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Alice Cooper
$34.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

Alice Cooper's widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare is essentially Part 2 of the 1975 album Welcome To My Nightmare. The release was recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who also produced the original multi-platinum release.
"This is Alice's nightmare 35 years later," explains Alice, "Bob and I created this character and we know how to write for him. I play the part but we're not writing for me, we're writing for Alice. We kept the first Nightmare album very personal to us, on this one we found more humor and we were more open. This was our world and we want to present it to the fans. The original album was my first solo album after all those huge hit records with the original band and now that nightmare is exposed, this one can be a little bit more open. The music crosses all sorts of boundaries; we went where the lyrics took us."
Welcome 2 My Nightmare features an array of collaborators including Alice Cooper members Denis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith who reunite on 3 tracks; global pop superstar Ke$ha, who affectionately calls Alice dad; and legendary Alice and Lou Reed guitarist Steve Hunter, who is part of Alice's current touring band and who was featured prominently on the first Nightmare album.
Musically, the album ranges far and wide, from trashing disco to garage punk, pop balladry to a rocking number, very much in the spirit of the Rolling Stones. And then there's the ballad "Something To Remember Me By," described by Alice as "the prettiest song we have ever released." Glimpes of themes from the original album are also intertwined throughout, each track representing a different aspect of Alice's nightmare.

 Portamento
The Drums
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Emerging from Brooklyn via Florida in 2009, The Drums initially caught the ear of the indie world with their Summertime! EP. It was an escapist collection of beach pop fantasies; tracks suffused with a wistful, longing nostalgia that never pandered to cheap sentimentality. Their rise, particularly in the UK, was meteoric. Early buzz led to a prestigious spot on the BBC Sound of 2010 shortlist, followed in short succession by a slot on the Shockwaves NME Tour in 2009, and the publications Phillip Hall Radar Award in early 2010, well before the albums release that summer.
Their terrific self-titled debut LP, released in June, was bifurcated into a first half dedicated to more upbeat pop songs, and a second half revealing a darker, more introspective side of the band. For the often difficult sophomore LP, the band sidestepped the pitfalls of a slump by recording it quickly, again self producing, often laying down tracks spontaneously in singer Jonny Pierces kitchen. Following the departure of guitarist Adam Kessler, drummer Connor Hanwick switched to guitar, and guitarist Jacob Graham picked up his more natural instrument of synthesizers. Portamento, the new album, released just 14 months after their debut, reveals a band tugging lightly at the boundaries of their sound while still retaining their recognizable sonic signatures, sweet rushes of melody, winsome lyrics, and brittle synthesizer sheens colliding with wiry Spector-esque guitar and bass lines.
Pierce explains The first EP there was this air of innocence. We were obsessed with vintage Americana sort of things. There were personal moments on the first album and EP, but it was very idea driven and conceptual. We wanted it to be cinematic. A scene from a movie, if you will. Now thats gone. The new album, its like every song is a scene from real life. I think from beginning to end its sort of autobiographical for me. I was able to be alone for a lot of this, and really write about myself. This new album touches on everything from my extreme religious roots to transgenderism to violence, and of course theres plenty of heartbreak stuff, which I couldnt get away from even if I tried.
The records titled Portamento, which is a 17th century Italian term that denotes a vocal slide between two pitches. For Pierce, it takes on an additional, personal meaning. Well its got some significance, he says. Jacob and I meeting as young boys with a shared love for Kraftwerk and Anything Box and Wendy Carlos, and these were all synth pioneers, and a common feature on old analogue systems was Portamento. It dictates the travel time from one note to another, and we have always thought it was a beautiful word. It seems to come in to play with how we have transitioned in the last year, losing a guitarist, reforming the band, our personal lives, and the actual sound of the album travelling from one thing to the next. In a sense Pierce is describing loss, nostalgia, redemption, vulnerability, and love, which could well be a checklist of all the things that make The Drums matter.

 Meetle Mice
Dan Deacon
$16.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
The music contained on these albums I wrote while in college (and a few while in high school) when I was just discovering computer music. I wrote them for fun, never planning on doing anything with them at the time or expecting them to be heard outside of my circle of friends. When I was asked to play a show on campus I thought it might be a good idea to burn some CD-Rs and try to sell them at the show.
Going through my files, I found the pieces that I liked the most, grouped them into two different collections and gave them the most appropriate/absurd titles I could think of. Many of the song titles are absurd or toy with the idea of what is offensive and what is not, many of them created as a commentary on the super politically correct atmosphere that was Purchase College in the early 2000s.
The organization of the songs was somewhat thought out but mostly chaotic: make sure the granular synth pieces are far from each other; keep the songs with beats spread out; sound collages placed amongst sine wave drone pieces. They were more like compilations of my experiments than albums of compositions.
I made only 8 CD-R copies of each in photocopied sleeves with contact paper on the discs. I sold all but 1 of each for $7 or two for $10. Explosions were going off in my head, dollar signs appearing in my eyes. Making $70 from selling CD-Rs was blowing my mind. I started selling them at every show, even though the music contained on them didnt represent what I ever performed live, since the music on Meetle Mice and Silly Hat was never meant to be performed live (except for the acoustic ensemble pieces).
The CD-Rs and artwork are riddled with mistakes. Theres digital clipping on many of the tracks; "Silly Hat vs. Egale Hat" was meant to be "Silly Hat vs. Eagle Hat"; "copy write" should have been "copyright," etc., but I thought the typos were funny and kept it with each batch of the CD-Rs. Since I was only selling them on campus or a few shows in NYC it didnt really matter. I hated stuff that took itself too seriously so keeping my spelling mistakes glaring was important to me. And considering the music was made in a vacuum with no intention of it ever seeing the light of day, it made sense to keep all the errors in their original state (true of this reissue as well (the artwork was scanned from the original run of 8)).
I was a very different musician back then trying to figure out how to interact with sound, what could be done with it, where it could go, learning music software for the first time, and discovering many more genres of experimental music than what I was exposed to in my youth on Long Island. It was an exciting time! Since then my aesthetic has shifted, my absurdist mindset subdued and Ive been exposed to a global audience. At times I feel like these albums are skeletons in my musical closet, knowing how easily parts of them could be taken out of context by a media that loves to take things out of context. But these records were made without knowledge of that media world. Theres an innocent ignorance to them that none of my other records will ever be able to have, an ignorance lost to experience.
These albums are like seeds. They sound, look and feel very different from the fruit that theyve grown but they are still of the same tree. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them. - Dan Deacon

A Creature I Dont Know is British singer/songwriter and guitarist Laura Marlings third album and first for Ribbon Music. Since her emergence onto the London music scene in 2007 Laura Marling has steadily secured her position as one of the most exciting musical talents of her generation. By the age of 21 she has already won a BRIT award and been nominated for the UK Mercury Music prize twice.
Recorded with producer Ethan Johns (who also helmed her acclaimed sophomore album I Speak Because I Can), A Creature I Dont Know is a boldly accomplished and endlessly impressive album. 10 original compositions of intricate and captivating story-telling, buoyed by Marlings rich voice, evocative lyrics and the precise, confident instrumentation on every track. Marlings delivery is pitch perfect, her voice going from delicate whisper to brooding murmur and rousing wail, sometimes all in the very same sentence.
Johns production of A Creature I Dont Know is the perfect showcase for her remarkable gifts, pulling back to give a stark spotlight to her stunning voice before surging forth with a rollicking live band feel. Fans of Marlings previous recordings will recognize her mesmeric tales and soaring melodies in what is ultimately an incredibly intimate album.

 Lotus
Lotus
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Lotus' new self-titled album moves in a decidedly more electronic direction than their last two releases (2008's Hammerstrike, 2009's Oil on Glass/Feather on Wood). Analog synthesizers, manipulated sounds, dub effects and heavy bass are balanced by horns and string arrangements in addition to Lotus' standard guitar/bass/drums instrumentation.
Grooves range from slinky funk and gritty half-time on the first half of the album to the beautiful and expansive closing track "Orchids." Although bits and pieces of vocals are used throughout, the only song to feature singing is "The Surf." And while it may be the closest thing to a pop song the band has ever released, the melodic guitar hooks and ecstatic synth are pure Lotus.
Similar to their music, the recording process for the album looked in multiple directions at once. It began using traditional recording methods tracking live to analog tape, but shifted to modern techniques for editing and mixing to expand into a musical space filled with uniquely crafted sounds. The band road tested and tweaked these tracks for the better part of two years. The result is an album worthy of the self-titled status, the band's singular sound and spirit runs through every track.

1. Golden Ghost
2. Backlight Sunflare
3. Bush Pilot
4. Dowrn

With ex-members from such notable Norwegian acts as Amulet, Infidels Forever, JR Ewing and Silver, the band is no stranger to dedicated hard work. Drawing influences from artists such as Planes Mistaken For Stars, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Water Music and the Afghan Whigs, the mission is clear: Wolves Like Us are here to purvey the urgent, powerful music they love.
Wolves Like Us signed with Prosthetic Records at the beginning of 2011 and immediately began recording Late Love in Oslo with Ruben Willem (Haust/Caliban Studios). Mastering was handled by studio maestro Dave Collins (Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction) and acclaimed illustrator Justin Bartlett (Sunn O))), Kvelertak, Anti-Sweden Jeans) beautifully crafted the artwork.

 Turn! Turn! Turn!
The Byrds
$23.99
Heavy Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
To quote the original liner notes of The Byrds' second album, "Protests growled briefly and died in great, wheezing gasps. The Byrds, unfettered, looked the other way and sang love songs." In 1965, America was beginning to enter a time of vehement political and social division and if anyone was looking for a song that flawlessly described the time, the title track of this album was a Godsend...literally. Originally taken by Pete Seeger from the 3rd chapter of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, 'Turn! Turn! Turn!' was such a powerful anthem for all involved in the social unrest--both weary politicians and youths burning their draft cards--that the other songs on the album did not need to consist of other political messages. The Byrds decided one anthem was enough, and filled "Turn! Turn! Turn!" with great songs about love and searches for personal enlightenment.
The group's debut "Mr. Tambourine Man" had been largely carried by vocalist Gene Clark's creative originals, and four Bob Dylan covers among others. Clark's songs also carry "Turn! Turn! Turn!" when it comes to the creative output of the bandmembers, but Roger (Jim) McGuinn was establishing himself as the counterpart to Clark's work. The love songs he co-wrote, 'It Won't Be Wrong' and 'Wait and See' (co-authored by budding Byrd David Crosby) were not up to the standards of those set by Gene Clark, but his arranging of folk standards and 12-string Rickenbacker playing show his influence. McGuinn brilliantly turns an old folk song 'He Was A Friend Of Mine' into a beautiful lament for John F. Kennedy, the additional lyrics McGuinn added delicately describing the tragic assassination of a president. Also a nice move is the jangle of 'Oh Susannah,' which features great interplay between McGuinn's Rickenbacker and Michael Clarke's drum kit. 'Satisfied Mind' is one of the best covers the Byrds ever did, sincere and simple, and covers of 'The Times They Are-A Changing' and 'Lay Down Your Weary Tune' helped convince Dylan himself that the group was a solid talent. He told McGuinn "Up until I heard this ['Lay Down Your Weary Tune'] I thought you were just another immitator."
But Gene Clark again eclipses with his love songs; one of the most creative ballad writers of all time, Clark's songs were never cliched or tongue-in-cheek, and always down-to-Earth. 'If You're Gone' has to be one of his most moving vocal performances ever. 'Set You Free This Time' and 'The World Turns All Around Her' display the kind of songwriting the pop world needs today. His 'She Don't Care About Time' single is fortunately included as a bonus track on this remaster, along with another Clark masterpiece 'The Day Walk,' better known as 'Never Before.'
The "Turn! Turn! Turn!" album was a make it or break it for the Byrds; during this short time they rivalled the Beatles, and the massive success of the title track solidified their stance, if only for a brief time. But the other ten songs were what proved the group's talent, avoiding sophomore slumps and delivering some of the 60s greatest music. -- Bud Sturguess

 Changing Horses
Ben Kweller
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Over the course of his three studio albums, Ben Kweller has become known as a top-shelf purveyor of the powerhouse pop song. The arsenal of effortless melodies, surging refrains, and agile harmonies he employs could come only from a kid raised on a steady diet of the Beatles, the Beach Boys and the Hollies. But on Kwellers new album, a straight-up country charmer entitled Changing Horses, the 27-year-old Greenville, TX, native has gone back to his roots. Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, those guys ruled radio when I was 11. So some of the first songs I wrote as a kid, before I got into punk rock and underground bands, were country songs. Changing Horses (whose title refers not only to taking on a new musical genre, but also to relocating his family to Austin, TX) reflects that period. For Kweller, who was influenced at a young age by the records his fathers high-school buddy Nils Lofgren made with Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, releasing a country album is the realization of a long-held goal. We recorded it in 11 days, but Changing Horses is 13 years in the making. All-analog recording tracked to 2 tape, with limited overdubs. All songs written and produced by Ben Kweller.

 Temporary People
Joseph Arthur And The Lonely Astronauts
$16.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Temporary People is the second LP by Joseph Arthur And The Lonely Astronauts, a NYC-based collective. Arthur, along with guitarists Kraig Jarret Johnson (The Jayhawks) and Jennifer Turner (Fur Slide, Natalie Merchant), drummer Greg Wieczorek (Twilight Singers) and bassist Sibyl Buck, descended upon the Catskill wilderness to conjure what Arthur testifies as a fully-realized, awesome explosion of rock and roll. The best and truest things are born out of necessity, Arthur explains. I hung onto the recording of this album like a man in the middle of the ocean would to a a piece of wood floating by, you can hear it in the songs and you can hear it in the band pulling together. This album is the sound of survival. The follow up to 2007's Let's Just Be, Temporary People finds the Astronauts steeped in rattling anthems (Faith, Temporary People), unearthly rock revivals (Dead Savior, Look into the Sky) and classic country inspired hymns (Say Goodbye, Turn You On).
Jo is one of those rare writer-performers where you get the sense, whatever your belief, that something greater is being channeled through his music and voice. Like Patti Smith, Grant Lee Phillips, Thom Yorke, he trances and the voice, the meaning, becomes bigger than him, bigger than a few pop chords or words strung together. It touches something very deep and universal. - Michael Stipe, R.E.M.

+ CD Insert
Jason Isbell is a former member of the Drive-By Truckers and this is his second solo release (his first release with his band The 400 Unit). The album was co-produced by Isbell and The 400 Unit with Matt Pence. I want it to be known that its a band record, says Isbell. I want it to be known that its something we all did together. Even though I wrote the songs, it was a very inclusive project.
The album was recorded at the renowned Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL and is following in the tradition of American songwriters who have recorded in North Alabama. Much like Arthur Alexander, Eddie Hinton and Spooner Oldham, Isbell mixes a soulful vocal style with songs that are passionate and unrepentant in their sense of place and direct in their stubborn Southerness.

 Ripe
Ben Lee
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
An internationally acclaimed song (Catch My Disease) that made the playlist for both a hit television drama and computer advertisement did nothing to alter Australia's Ben Lee. He remains youthful (still, at age 28), eminently fruitful (this marks his seventh album), and capable of surrendering addictive after captivating song (see Love Me Like the World Is Ending, Just Say Yes, and a half-dozen others on this 12-song set). Not surprisingly, Ripe rides a similar vibe to 2005's Awake Is the New Sleep: quick-and-dirty pop melodies polished with chiming guitars, piano fills, and Lee's exuberant, boyish vocals. Love and affection provide a common thread, blatantly exposing themselves on the interrogatory Is This How Love's Supposed to Feel and Just Say Yes, where Lee asks, If this is right, then why resist? while purely insinuating infatuation on both Blush and Numb. The indie veteran's camaraderie pays off on Sex Without Love, where Good Charlotte's Benji Madden joins him on a chorus dangerously Def Leppardish and the Greaselike Birds and Bees, with pop diva Mandy Moore playing Olivia Newton-John to Lee's John Travolta. The latter plays hokey for one or two listens before dissolving into the record's delightful sequence.

1. Love Me Like The World Was Ending
2. American Television

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

Another alternative classic originally released in 1991, available on vinyl for the first time since its initial release. The third album from Les Claypool & Co. and first for a major label, is a twisted mix of prog rock, funk and punk, with a taste for Frank Zappa's humor and Captain Beefheart's guttural growl. One of the few bands to have the bass as the prominent instrument, Claypool alternates from funky slaps to throbbing power chords to heavy, heavy solos while the guitar provides almost dissonant texturing beneath the bass' shredding. Features the MTV hit Jerry Was A Race Car Driver. Here on 180g Vinyl!

 For LP Fans Only (Speakers Corner)
Elvis Presley
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Along with the album "A Date With Elvis" (RCA LPM-2011), "For LP Fans Only" is one of the most important special productions of the young King of Rock’n’Roll. Because Elvis had been conscripted into the US army, no new recordings could take place, and so record producers delved deep into the sound archives and dug out a few singles from his Sun Records days, mixed them with a couple of early RCA songs and a number from the "Love Me Tender" soundtrack, and, hey presto! a new Elvis LP was born. The overwhelming success of this album is not solely confined to the stylistic homogeneity of this collection of fresh, youthful songs. Far more, it’s because for many fans the record offered the only substitution for the highly coveted but rare original singles "That’s All Right", "Mystery Train" and "My Baby Left Me".
Not without reason has today’s 'bits-and-bytes' generation ignored the words on the cover and produced several re-releases. Which just goes to emphasise the widespread opinion that this is one of Elvis’s very best albums and at the same time one of the most important in the whole of rock’n’roll – especially in the present vinyl pressing.
Musicians:
- Elvis Presley (guitar, vocal)
- Various Bands
About Speakers Corner
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Speakers Corner all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existant tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasise that Speakers Corner Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We have one digital recording in our catalogue (Alan Parsons / Eye In The Sky“), but even in this particular case we used the analogue tapes for cutting.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects – excluding the exception above – and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

 Love, Hate And Then Theres You
Von Bondies
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Includes CD
With the long-anticipated release of Love, Hate and Then Theres You, The Von Bondies third studio album and their debut for Majordomo Records, fans will experience a band thats come a long way since 2004s smash album on Sire, Pawn Shoppe Heart. Now in their ninth year together, Stollsteimer and drummer Don Blum, the Von Bondies other founding member, have taken their music to new places while holding on to the core values theyve always exhibited.
Love, Hate and Then Theres You picks up from the tighter, more nuanced sound of the Von Bondies huge 2004 hit single Cmon Cmon, which subsequently took on a second life as the theme to Denis Learys highly acclaimed FX TV series Rescue Me. On riff-happy tracks like first single Pale Bride and the anthemic leadoff track This Is Our Perfect Crime, on pounders like I Dont Wanna and Chancer, and on the album-closing Modern Saints with its nearly ethereal intro, this is a Von Bondies with a renewed sense of purpose.
Track Listing:

 How To Get To Heaven From Scotland
Aidan Moffat And The Best-Ofs
$69.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Last time we heard from Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap), it was with the wonderful, darkly humorous, spoken word album and book package I Can Hear Your Heart, which received rave reviews upon its February 2008 release. Less than a year later, the 35 year-old Moffat is back in a new guise, as frontman of Aidan Moffat and the Best Ofs.
It's not really a band, says Moffat, So much as an open-door club where anyone with a talent for something I like the sound of is welcome. There's no line-up in any traditional sense and members come and go according to their availability, but for this album, the band includes Stevie Jones (Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan's band) and Alun Woodward (ex-Delgados/Lord Cut-Glass.) How To Get To Heaven From Scotland was recorded simultaneously with I Can Hear Your Heart.
I decided it was time that I attempted to write some positive love songs, which is incredibly difficult to do if you want to avoid cliche and repetition, explains Moffat. You have to try to make them both personal and universal, which also can be quite difficult; you have to try to forget other people are going to hear them while also making sure it will appeal to an audience. There's a lot more sunshine and happy endings on this record, plus a song about my grandfather's non-existent ghost and a lullaby about the terror of impending fatherhood. Hopefully I've managed to keep it at least diverting for the 37 minutes it lasts.

The Broken Social Scene Presents Series, in which the core members of the many-membered Canadian co-op release solo albums from under the safety of the band's umbrella, has, thus far, delivered a couple of releases that haven't fallen far from the BSS tree. Charles Spearin's The Happiness Project is the most unique release in the series so far and it began as a number of interviews, in which Spearin would talk to his friends and neighbors ranging in age and culture about, essentially, the subject of happiness. Working from these recordings, Spearin used the cadence, rhythm and intonation of these voices and then recruited musicians to play a singular instrument in a fashion that matches the meter and melody of these spoken conversations.

Morrissey
$11.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed

Years of Refusal is Morrissey's first studio album since 2006's U.K. #1 Ringleader of the Tormentors. The late Jerry Finn, who previously worked on 2004's critical and commercial smash You Are the Quarry, produced Years of Refusal which is the last album he worked on. Long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker play on the album, which also features a contribution from Jeff Beck on the track Black Cloud.
Morrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. The New York Times recently stated, Morrissey isn't just any singer: he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama. His influence is felt worldwide through the countless artists that cite him as their primary inspiration. Years of Refusal is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend.

Dubbed by many critics as the worlds funniest comedy team for the internet generation, the comedic collaborative of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer release, Incredibad, their first comedy album. The innovative triumvirate commonly known as The Lonely Island made online and television history with some of the webs most popular satirical sketches, including such SNL/YouTube classics as Dick In A Box, featuring Justin Timberlake and Lazy Sunday, a farcical rap about The Chronicles Of Narnia. Their latest digital short and first single from Incredibad, Jizz In My Pants, became the #1 Most Viewed Video on YouTube after one airing on SNL.
Friends and collaborators since their junior high school days in Berkeley, CA, Samberg, Taccone and Schaffer began showcasing their irreverent shorts on their website, www.thelonelyisland.com , nearly a decade ago. The group adopted the moniker in honor of their first L.A. apartment where the trio initially began making short films with the idea of posting them on the internet. Their homegrown website grew in popularity thanks to breakthrough sketches such as The BU and homemade music videos like, Ka-Blamo! and Stork Patrol among others. Mainstream entertainment offers followed and in 2005, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels hired them (Samberg is in the cast, Schaffer and Taccone are writer/directors) after being introduced to their work at the MTV Awards.
The groups innovative SNL Digital Shorts have become the must-watch segment for the past four seasons of the historic late-night comedy show, with classics such as Dick In A Box featuring Justin Timberlake, Lazy Sunday, Natalie's Rap featuring Natalie Portman, and Iran So Far featuring Adam Levine creating unprecedented online buzz. Dick In a Box garnered an incredible 28 million views before NBC moved the clip to hulu.com and nbc.com. The classic R&B spoof won a 2007 Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.

Ben Harper's fifth studio album, Diamonds on the Inside is a passionate album that adds a worldbeat to the singer/songwriter's classic groovy funk-soul.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

With the release of his seventh studio album, Both Sides of the Gun, Ben Harper offers his signature mix of rock, soul and folk music, while also venturing into new territory. I was hoping I could come back to the root of my earlier records, the sparseness and intimacy, he says, and also branch out further in a produced sound than ever before. From the blazing Curtis Mayfield/Stevie Wonder-style funk of Black Rain to the gentle sway of Morning Yearning to the full-on power ballad Waiting for You, the eighteen songs on Both Sides Of The Gun reveal a master stylist at the peak of his game. Limited Edition 180g double vinyl.

After touring Europe for nine months, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals booked a week in a studio in Paris and recorded the entirety of Harper's eighth album, Lifeline. Largely recorded live to tape with minimal overdubs, Lifeline has the live, fresh sound of 1970s rock classics as well as a pronounced R&B influence that has never been so prominent on Harper's previous albums.

The first half finds Harper and the Innocent Criminals plugged in, tearing through their patented mix of rock, folk, soul and blues while the second half features Harper in a pared down setting, solo on acoustic guitar.

 There Will Be Light
Ben Harper
$20.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
There Will Be Light began as a series of rehearsals for Ben Harper's collaboration on a Blind Boys of Alabama record. Recorded in two sessions, the two acts ended up with an album of collaborative material for joint releases. These set of tunes, with seven Ben Harper originals written specifically for the sessions, the rest traditional gospel tunes and covers, showcase Harper and the Innocent Criminals alongside the Blind Boys of Alabama. The album kicks off with Harper's Take My Hand, a funky gospel tune underscored by a call and response from the Blind Boys. Wicked Man is a Southern soul tune that has a Muscle Shoals groove and a beautiful vocal weave on the refrain. Church House Steps is pure gospel groove with a Hammond B3 and a duet between the Blind Boys' layered harmonies and Harper on the verses. Also featured is a smokin' cover of the Bob Dylan/Danny O'Keefe tune, Well, Well, Well, with Delta blues bottleneck shimmering throughout. There Will Be Light is a fine and unique musical collaboration in the truest sense of the word.

 Blood Sweat And Tears (Pure Pleasure)
Blood, Sweat And Tears
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
1970 was a really good year for Blood, Sweat & Tears. The colourful, distinguished group was awarded a Grammy® in the categories “Album of the Year”, “Best Contemporary Instrumental Performance”, and “Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)“.
The concept of merging jazz, blues and arrangements of classical themes worked well, with music journalist Leonard Feather commenting that »it brought music into rock«.
Everything seemed to be allowed – as long as it sounded good: almost spontaneously, it seems, the musicians develop a somewhat boozy, cheery "Hi-De-Ho" happening out of synthetically created chivalric fanfares, or conjure up a medieval scenario ("The Battle") with the archaic sound of a harpsichord and solo voice. That caustic big-band soul ("Lucrezia MacEvil") and seemingly familiar rock songs ("Fire And Rain") find their niche here fits in with the free spirit of this third album, which boasts no otherwise specified title. One listens to this disc, wondering what surprise is in store in the next beat, the next phrase, the next number. And there is a wonderfully liberating feeling in knowing that nothing is a ‘must’ but all is allowed.
Musicians:
- David Clayton Thomas (vocal)
- Fred Lipsius (alto saxophone, piano, vocal)
- Lew Soloff (trumpet, fluegel horn)
- Jerry Hyman (trombone)
- Steve Katz (guitar, harmonica, vocal)
- Dick Halligan (organ, piano, harpsichord, trombone, flute, vocal)
- Jim Fielder (bass)
- Bobby Colomby (drums, percussion, vocal)
Recording: 1970 by Roy Halee
Production: Bobby Colomby and Roy Halee
About Pure Pleasure
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

Talking Heads: 77 is the auspicious debut album from what was the most highly touted new wave band to ever emerge from New York's CBGB's scene and it immediately set them apart from their counterparts in both sound and scope. Both unique and infectious, David Byrne's high, yelping tenor serves as the perfect complement to the band's tightly-wound yet kinetic rhythms here, making for a tuneful collection of songs highlighted by the twisted anthem Psycho Killer and the joyous Pulled Up.

Peaking at #4 on the Billboard charts, Chicago II yielded some of the group's most enduring hits, which came from Pankow's suite Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon, emulating the form of the great classical composers from a pop perspective.

Brooklyn's Weird Owl takes its cues as much from the secrets of esoteric literature as from legendary acts such as The 13th Floor Elevators, Captain Beefheart & His Magical Band, Love and Crazy Horse.

 Who Are You (200 Gram) (NEW PRESSING)
The Who
$34.99
200 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Sadly burdened with the trivia of being the last studio recording to feature drummer Keith Moon and thus closing the chapter on the band's original line-up, this 1978 release was also a major progression, not unlike what The Beatles and The Beach Boys undertook as they matured from their simple, rudimentary but still freakin' great early years.
In the three years since the release of Who By The Numbers, The Who foursome had undertaken solo projects and other individual interests. Finally reuniting after such an unusualy long hiatus, they recorded Who Are You between late 1977 and early '78, in a variety of London-area studios. Without a doubt, everyone in the world would have welcomed recycled Who akin to their first decade of hits. But simple, catchy rock riffs were to be superceded in more complex subjects and daring arrangements. Pete Townshend's observations of moving on and saying farewell (Sister Disco), the creative process (Guitar and Pen), FM radio and its banal recycled music (Music Must Change) and battles with alcohol (Who Are You) are some of his most poignant writings. Bassist John Entwistle contributes three songs, the most in any one Who album. 905, Had Enough and Trick Of The Light reflect some of his finest, often-overlooked, work.
The album peaked at No. 2 on the Pop chart in the U.S., most likely prevented from going No. 1 by to the Grease soundtrack. The lone single released, the title song Who Are You would become a concert staple, often expanded into a jam for Townshend's guitaristics, and then be licensed out in 2000 for the opening theme to the hit television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigations. This venerable Classic was re-mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood from the original analog master tapes provided by The Who.

From the manic opening of 20 Eyes to the monster chorus of Braineaters, there is nothing less than a sublime moment on the album from start to finish and it ranks among the greatest records in punk history. Finally back in print after years of being a collector's item, Walk Among Us is a classic of any genre and a must-have for any serious punk fan.

Free MP3 Download Of The Album
Justin Townes Earle's sophomore album Midnight At The Movies displays an adeptness and musical sophistication of remarkable, organic breadth and is as lyrically sharp as a lover's tongue as she is walking out the door. If you didn't look at the songwriting credits, you'd swear the songs were part of our collective musical DNA, penned on the stoop of a one-pump filling station in dust bowl era Oklahoma, the smoke-filled song and dream factories of Tin Pan Alley, or at the back door of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville. Justin effortlessly taps the romanticism imbued in the beaten-soled travelogues and mythos of Woody Guthrie; the lounging around a campfire at a work camp and the edgy angst of a wintry Minneapolis (yeah, just try to get that mandolin line from the cover of Can't Hardly Wait out of your head.) Midnight at the Movies is held firm by Justin's astonishing vision and conviction, yet roams o'er the vast landscape of American music without so much as a stumble.

The Remains� original Epic-label platter ranks as one of the two or three best U.S. garage albums of all-time. But this Beantown bruiser doesn�t make it so much on �66 snarl or fuzztone. Instead, Barry and his boys deliver a one-two of intricate Beatleriffic vocals and super-muscular musicianship (from the aggravated assault of drummers Chip Damiani and ND Smart, to the percussive, distorto piano of William Briggs, to the all powerful, punishing frontline of guitarist-lead screamer Barry Tashian and bassist Vern Miller). Don�t be duped like the Class of �66 into thinking the green-tone Epic sleeve don�t house the holy grail, �cause it�s all in these grooves.

Scott Walker
$19.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
One of the most enigmatic figures in pop music history, Scott Walker first saw massive success in England with his band The Walker Brothers in 1965. Not really brothers, nor were they British, the trio left Hollywood seeking fame in England, and they found it there for a time with their particular brand of orchestrated pop. Following the groups demise in 1967, Walker set out to pursue solo stardom in perhaps the most peculiar way possible, with over-the-top baroque pop songs owing more to his idol Jacques Brel, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra than they did to the Beatles or the Stones. This is his first solo LP from 1967 and features 3 of his own compositions along with covers of songs by Brel, Tim Hardin and the Brill Building team of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann.

1. Mathilde
2. Montague Terrace (In Blue)

Originally released in 1968, Scott 2 made it all the way to #1 on the U.K. pop charts. Continuing with Scott Walker's orchestral obsession, Scott 2 features sublime string and horn arrangements with Scott singing dark moody takes on '60s pop tunes like Best Of Both Worlds and Black Sheep Boy, plus the usual round of Brel tunes including Jackie and The Girls & The Dogs. The album also features some of his best songwriting on the cuts The Amorous Humphrey Plugg, The Girls From The Streets and Plastic Palace People.

Originally released in 1969, Scott 3 marked a big change in Scott Walker's approach to albums as, for the first time, the record is dominated by his original compositions. In fact, the only other songwriter that makes it onto the album is Walker's idol, Belgium's legendary singer/songwriter Jacques Brel. Scott 3 again features string heavy production courtesy of Wally Scott, though it occasionally moves out of pop ballad territory into a more cinematic feel influenced by Ennio Morricone among others.

Despite being the first of his solo albums not to reach the British Top 10, Scott 4 was perhaps Scott Walker's best and most ambitious. Originally released in 1969, the album was his first to feature only self-penned originals. The album was also unique in that it backed off a bit from the heavily string laden production of his past releases, allowing other sonic influences to shine through, from country to folk to soul. The lyrical content remains intense as Walker tackles everything from war to Stalinism to heartbreak with equal aplomb.

1. The Seventh Seal
2. On Your Own Again

 Grrr...
Bishop Allen
$14.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Fronted by Justin Rice and Christian Rudder, Bishop Allen is best known for making and self-releasing an EP each month for an entire year, then reworking some of the best songs for a highly acclaimed label debut (The Broken String). The rigorous EP project, and the extensive touring that has followed it, have allowed Bishop Allen to hone their craft: writing, performing and recording music.
The resulting album, Grrr..., reveals that after five years of comparisons to other artists like Jonathan Richman, The Kinks, Bright Eyes, Spoon, etc., in rave reviews from Rolling Stone, SPIN, Entertainment Weekly and many others, Bishop Allen has developed an artistry and sound that are unmistakably their own. One thing that distinguishes Bishop AllenĆs music is the quality of the writing. RiceĆs literate lyrics, which The Los Angeles Times has praised for their ôpoetic insight,ö have a universality that has made them resonant to listeners of all ages and earned them champions ranging from the young comic actor Michael Cera to the National Public Radio host Scott Simon.
Each of the 13 tracks comprising Grrrŕ is a succinct composition, and yet the album also coheres seamlessly as a song cycle. The melody and/or rhythm of one track is often contiguous with the next. As always, Rice and Rudder are responsible not only for the writing, but the lionĆs share of the playing and the recording: the guitars, pianos, marimbas, ukeleles and vocals. And, as before, Darbie Nowatka shares in the singing. Otherwise, the album features contributions from a number of their friends: drums and percussion by Michael Tapper, horns by Jon Natchez and Kelly Pratt, and strings by Daniel Hart. Bryce Goggin (Pavement, The Apples in Stereo, Luna, Sebadoh) offered the band some invaluable production tips and, at his famed Trout Recording studio in Brooklyn, recorded the drums and mixed the album.

Where can you hear the sound of Kanye West and Santogold colliding? Or Tom Waits and Kool Keith? The story of N.A.S.A. (an acronym for North America/South America) goes back five and a half years when Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales) met in Sao Paulo, Brazil and were instantly drawn together over their mutual love for rare Brazilian funk and soul records. They decided to share their experience and create a record that similarly brought people together from different musical genres, races, religions, politics, countries and languages. In order to fully-realize their mission the two created some of the most unique musical pairings ever recorded, all within the backdrop of Brazilian funk. The result is The Spirit of Apollo, connecting people as diverse as David Byrne and Chuck D, or Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Ol' Dirty Bastard, the latter two singing together on the late hip-hop starĆs last known recorded track. Includes a digital download card for entire album.

Deluxe Vinyl Box Set On Limited Edition 2 x 180g LP + 2 x CD
A founder member of the fabled Kaleidoscope, this versatile multi-instrumentalist left the band in 1968 to join the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Chris Darrow also helped form the Corvettes, an underrated country rock group who later backed Linda Ronstadt on a tour to promote her Hand Sown ... Home Grown album. Darrow then began a solo career with Artist Proof, and also found employment as a studio musician. He contributed to releases by John Stewart, John Fahey and others, as well as appearing on several Tamla/Motown Records sessions. A second album, Chris Darrow, reaffirmed his eclectic nature and featured cameos by Dolly Collins and Alan Stivell. The equally well-crafted Under My Own Disguise followed in 1974.
Everloving is pleased to reissue two of Chris's rare solo albums from the United Artists vaults. This Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set features Darrow's 1973 self-titled release and the 1974 release Under My Own Disguise. The set includes 2xLP (180gHQ) + 2xCD + 48 page 12x12 photo book.

 Phantom Limb
Phantom Limb
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Import
The Phantom Limb's sound is an indefinable blend of classic southern soul and country blues. They blend modern songwriting and rich acoustic music with powerful gospel-inflected vocals. Already comparisons are being made to Mavis Staples, Aretha Franklin and The Band. Their honest, melancholic, Bristolian edge creates one of the most original and compelling new propositions of recent years. The group is epitomised by the fantastically bold yet intimately soulful vocals of the 23-year old Yolanda Quarty who also provided vocals on half of Massive Attacks forthcoming album, the majority of which was incidentally co-written and produced by Robot Club (Phantom Limbs guitarist Stew Jackson and bassist Dan Brown). Phantom Limb's self-titled debut album was the brainchild of the Robot Club production team, whose recent writing/production credits also include Will Young, Skin (Skunk Anansie) and Fortune Drive. The album was recorded at their very own Robot Club Studios (Bristol) as well as Rockfields Studio (Monmouth) and Caveman Studios (Bristol). The album was mastered and cut for vinyl at Optimum Studios, Bristol by Shawn Joseph and Timothy Dennen.
The six-pieces unique sound has made an instant ascension within the industry. In March of 2008 they played the famous SXSW in Austin, Texas, which led to countless festival offers including Glastonburys Jazz World Stage in June 2008 and a record deal with Naim Edge! The bands line-up represents the pick off Bristols vibrant, almost incestuous music scene, including Dan Moore on keys (Elevator Suite/Cousteau/Andy Sheppard), Matt Jones on drums (Nuge/Emily Breeze), Luke Cawthra on lead guitar (Emily Breeze/Lena Rez/Nuge), alongside Yolanda Q (Bugs In The Attic), Stew (Milk with Ian Matthews, now of Kasabian) and Dan B (Ilya/Elevator Suite).

 Spoke
Calexico
$15.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Vinyl version of Calexico's debut album from 1997. First time on vinyl in North America.
Nearly ten years has passed since we embarked on these initial home recordings on our trusty 8 track reel to reel. These were the first experiments of writing and recording with the newly bought thrift store instrumentation featuring marimba, vibraphone, accordion, cello, mandolin as well as the respective drums, guitar and bass. The songs have a certain lean to them and we appreciated the unusual character that came from this session. We started off minimal and one by one started adding instruments, both John and I as we saw fit, or adding vocals when we needed storyline. Spoke has an organic feel to it. In addition to these songs there are field recordings and outgoing tape machine messages that help to paint the picture of crooked adobe walls and empty downtown streets of Tucson. There's an element of space on this album that unfolds nicely upon the ear and it evokes the kind of late night aesthetic that holds up well to this day.ö - Joey Burns

 Face Control
Handsome Furs
$13.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
This band is completely based, aesthetically and otherwise, on traveling, on absorbing places and regurgitating them in music, says Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner. Face Control, the second album by the Montreal band, draws inspiration from Eastern Europe and re-maps Eastern Bloc surveillance state themes to contemporary life and the irony of our slow acceptance and embrace of self-monitoring, through blogs and facebooks and myspaces and credit/debit accounts and surveillance cameras and GPS devices. The album's juxtaposition of cold, metronomic, electronic beats, courtesy of Alexei Perry, with the jagged, dissonant and frail, broken or breaking, guitars of Dan Boeckner convey what it is to be a human being at the bottom of the 21st century.

 The Place And The Time
Moby Grape
$28.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
+ Vinyl Only Bonus Track
Despite a myriad of obstacles, Moby Grape managed to persevere and create a potent and enduring body of recorded work, recording four albums during its original 1967-1969 lifespan. While 1967's Moby Grape is widely acknowledged as a classic and one of rock's greatest debut albums, the subsequent Wow, Moby Grape '69 and Truly Fine Citizen are all underrated gems.
It's a measure of the musicians' abundance of talent and creativity that, despite the multiple roadblocks that they confronted, Moby Grape recorded prolifically and cut a wealth of originally unreleased material. The Place and the Time offers a scintillating assortment of rare tracks cut during the band's heady 1967-1968 heyday and it is the first time any of these tracks have appeared on vinyl! Encompassing audition recordings, album outtakes, alternative versions, live material and more, the recordings offer a powerful testament to the remarkable rapport that made the band such a unique musical force. The fact that music this stunning and originally sat on the shelf for so long is just another in the litany of injustices that haunt the Moby Grape story. Fortunately, the band's majestic recorded legacy has outlasted the bad luck. The music remains as fresh and inspiring as ever, and the vintage material featured in this collection constitutes a crucial addition to Moby Grape's already monumental body of work.
