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.

180g Vinyl Reissue of Lonnie Donegan's 1956 debut album Showcase. In that year he was not only England's premier bluesman, but was also one of the first rock'n'roll stars in the mode of Elvis Presley. He had invented a new style of music called skiffle and every teenager in Britain was racing out to the record shops to snap up anything Lonnie recorded.

He was the first person we had heard of from Britain to get to the coveted No. 1 in the charts, and we studied his records avidly. We all bought guitars to be in a skiffle group. He was the man. Paul McCartney

Buddy collects two great pieces of rock history: his 1958 debut album originally released as Buddy Holly as well as Nashville studio recordings Holly made in 1956 just before he became a superstar. Buddy Holly was the last album to be released in the music legend's lifetime and it features many of the songs for which he is best remembered including Peggy Sue, I'm Gonna Love You Too, Everyday and Rave On. The earlier 1956 material found here is notably slower and much more country oriented highlighted by great versions of That'll Be The Day and the long lost rock & roll classic, Rock Around With Ollie Vee.

Mark Olson was the founder of The Jayhawks, the most important band to emerge out of the 90s alt-country scene. Olson left after their most successful album, Tomorrow The Green Grass, to pursue a simpler life in the California desert. A decade later, everything fell apart: Marks marriage to singer/songwriter Victoria Williams ended, his group The Creekdippers disbanded, and he lost the home he had built by hand. These songs were written in the wake of that profound loss, during the two years he spent homeless, staying with friends in places as farflung as Norway, Poland and Wales. Produced by Ben Vaughn, The Salvation Blues is Olsons first true solo album, made with some of LAs best session musicians. The album also features Marks long-awaited reunion with Jayhawk Gary Louris, who provides harmonies on three songs.

The fourth release from the hard rock machine from Des Moines, IA, is more of a statement than a record. Corey Taylor comments, Every album we have made is a statement about that space in time. I think this era is the most mature, most beautiful and the most powerful. We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men. I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. The album blends elements of 2004's Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and 2001's Iowa, while adding a perspective, freshness and depth that only three years apart can bring. All Hope Is Gone was recorded this in Slipknot's home state and is co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman.

Spektor emigrated from Moscow to America at age nine. The classically trained pianist played hundreds of shows in the Lower East Side anti-folk scene after graduating from college in New York.

The album was then re-released by Sire.

Green Day's third release and major label debut, Dookie turned the San Francisco Bay area trio into overnight stars in 1994 and they've never looked back. Their infectious brand of modern punk revitalized the genre with its flippant humor and ironic self-loathing. The album produced the five hit singles Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She and When I Come Around and remains the band's biggest selling record. Dookie won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. Green Day was also nominated for Best New Artist, Basket Case was nominated for Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal and Longview was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance. Reissued here on 180g Vinyl with bonus CD.

This is where the garage punk-pop revival began. Before Nirvana and Nevermind, there was Green Day and the 1991 indie-released 39/Smooth. MTV, multiplatinum albums and massive critical acclaim were still in the distance at this point. 39/Smooth was a three chord explosion of unfettered, even goofy, energy and passion. Previously out of print, this elusive album, now reissued for the first time on a major label, marks the genesis of modern rock. The earliest offering from what has become one of the biggest acts in the world today.

Sloan, Joe and Chris have been writing music together since junior high school in Denver. As they grew older, they moved away and apart. But it wasnt long before summer-recording sessions, trips from coast to coast and long-distance phone rehearsals between Sloan and Joe led to the acoustic EP As You Were (2003). The three then reunited in Southern California to self-produce their next two full-band EPs, Heartbreak And Masturbation (2004) and My Best Defense (2005), before returning to Denver. Constant touring, including with The Fray, and regular airplay for the poppunk sing-along Zombies Ate My Neighbors on Denvers KTCL led to the bands 2007 Reprise debut with the No More Sadface EP, which scored on the Heatseekers chart.

Ten, the debut album that sold 12 million copies and introduced the world to Pearl Jam in 1991, is now being reissued in four new and expanded editions. The reissue of Ten serves as the launch of a planned two-year catalog re-release campaign leading up to the bands 20th anniversary in 2011.

This edition of Ten is packaged on two vinyl LPs and includes two versions of the album: the remastered version of the original album plus an accompanying remixed version done by the bands long-time producer, Brendan OBrien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Audioslave).

The band loved the original mix of Ten, but were also interested in what it would sound like if I were to deconstruct and remix it, says producer Brendan OBrien. The original Ten sound is what millions of people bought, dug and loved, so I was initially hesitant to mess around with that. After years of persistent nudging from the band, I was able to wrap my head around the idea of offering it as a companion piece to the original, giving a fresh take on it, a more direct sound.

Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, who served as the art director for the original Ten packaging, reprised his role for the reissues collaborating with designer, Andy Fischer, of Cameron Crowes Vinyl Films (Into the Wild soundtrack LP, Vanilla Sky soundtrack LP, Harold and Maude anniversary edition soundtrack LP). The goal was to assemble the ultimate fan-piece, explains Fischer. Something Pearl Jam lovers could pore over as they experience an indelible record all over again, in an entirely new way.

Pearl Jam originally released Ten on August 27, 1991. The album reached #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, sold over 12 million copies and became one of the cultural touchstones of the '90s. Songs such as Alive, Black, Even Flow and Jeremy became staples of rock radio, and still make frequent appearances on the bands ever-changing concert setlists. The album was produced by Rick Parasher. Pearl Jams 1991 lineup was Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitar), Dave Krusen (drums), Mike McCready (guitar) and Eddie Vedder (vocals).

I would say that this album is the result of pure anger (note: I destroyed 3 microphones during the production). Following our experiences with I'm A Rebel, we made it our goal not to be influenced musically by anyone outside of the band this time. One example are the lyrics of Son of a Bitch that are absolutely anti record company. With this album you can say that the Accept sound was born and brought us attention across Europe and a tour with Judas Priest. Furthermore, this album was a starting point for many musicians to begin playing their own music. - Udo Dirkschneider

Formed in Solingen, Germany in the early '70s by wild and crazy frontman, Udo Dirkschneider, Accept forged their way to the top of the '80s metal ranks with their brutal and heavy riffs and Udo's trademark screeching banshee vocals. Distinctly original and instantly recognizable, Accept conquered seemingly the entire planet outside of the U.S. with such classic albums as Restless And Wild, Breaker, I'm A Rebel and Accept.

This is surely the most important Accept album. Fast As A Shark is considered by many to be the very first speed metal song written, not to mention the unusual intro (which was sung by a 12 year old Dieter Dierks together with an girl who remains unknown to us). You could say that Princess of the Dawn and Fast as a Shark are considered classics today. With this album, America came calling for the first time and the rest is history. - Udo Dirkschneider

Formed in Austin, TX, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears is an eight-piece, garage-soul ensemble featuring groove-laden guitars, penetrating brass and a fiery frontman who exudes power and attitude. Their Lost Highway debut album, Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! was produced by Jim Eno (Spoon) and recorded, mostly live in the studio, in Austin, TX. Their gut-shot style, felt here in such songs as Gunpowder, Master Sold My Baby and I'm Broke, draws directly from their classic soul, R&B and blues influences. Inspiration from artists such as Otis Redding and The Bar-Kays, James Brown and Lightnin' Hopkins are clearly present in their songs and live shows, but Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears inject a full-tilt, unabashedly brash element to this old-school style sound that is truly remarkable.

ôWeÆre not into innovation as a band,ö says Froberg, whoÆs already done his fair share of innovating with Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. ôI think innovation is overrated and an overestimated quality. Anything thatÆs going to be original is going to happen without your control. Things that make your band sound like you, are things you wouldnÆt be able to change anyway. We just go ahead and play the stuff we like, and we donÆt worry about originality per se, because that takes care of itself.

The White Stripes' 2000 cult classic De Stijl is the stripped down duo's second release and it finds them truly coming into their own with more complex arrangements and a wider dynamic range. From the pop bounce of You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl), to the blues howler, Hello Operator, to the dirge-like Death Letter, De Stijl is the album in which Jack White's artistic ideals caught up to his ambition, resulting in another step forward for the band and one step away from their 20001 breakthrough, White Blood Cells.

The eponymous 1999 debut from the Detroit guitar and drums duo, The White Stripes takes the less is more approach to new uncompromising heights. Jack White's voice is a strange brew of punk, metal and blues here while his guitar work is as grand as Meg's drumming is spare and methodical. The album hints at the raw and powerful sound that The White Stripes would pioneer into superstardom along with an old meets new musical pedigree displayed with covers of One More Cup of Coffee by Bob Dylan, the old Louie Armstrong standard by J. Primrose St. James Infirmary Blues and Stop Breaking Down by Robert Johnson. Jack describes the record as really angry, the most raw, the most powerful, and the most Detroit-sounding record we've made.

Brothers Eric and Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren have spent the better part of 10 years in daily contact, touring the world over, and sculpting their saw-toothed sound balloons under circumstances most reasonable people would wretch at. Their communal consciousness is as packed with garbage as much as it is concerned with making catchy tunes, and often the songs pouring out of it contain equal parts bombastic infectious rhythm and chaotic detritus.

Repo is the sound of a disciplined group of cosmic jokers setting out to reclaim the landscape popular culture would have us believe we cannot afford. The record irreverently mulches the sounds and images of radio, TV and internet into a fertile compost pile squirming with new, raw life. This Double Vinyl edition of Repo also features a 20 page booklet with exclusive art by the band.

As the title suggests, their new album shares with the listener an affectionate wit and a melancholy tendency towards life's daily routines and relationships. Yet it also boasts and expands on the affected pop elements explored on their breakout album, Let's Get Out Of This Country. It's no wonder Camera Obscura are often mentioned in the same sentences as fellow Scots Belle & Sebastian, indie rock faves The Lucksmiths, and music legends The Smiths.

With their 1999 release Summerteeth, Wilco transcended the alt-country confines of their acclaimed earlier albums and created what Jeff Tweedy called a kind of a twisted pop record, a dark pop record. While staying true to its back-porch groove and plain-spoken poetry, one of the most admired alternative bands anywhere took yet another step forward here by taking on the art of classic pop music. The lush string arrangements and gorgeous harmonies of tracks like She's a Jar and Pieholden Suite suggest nothing less than a landlocked Brian Wilson, while more straightforward rockers like the opener I Can't Stand It bear the influence of everything from R&B to psychedelia. Still, for all of the warmth and beauty of the record's arrangements, Tweedy's songs here are perhaps his darkest and most haunting to date, where even the sunniest melodies mask moments of devastating power.

A one-of-a-kind collision of psychedelia, prog and heavy rock, Sea Shanties embodies the darker edge of psychedelic rock, while presaging the wave of heavier combos that would soon emerge in Britain. Although it's been out of print in the U.S. for decades, Sea Shanties has attracted a fervent cult following in recent years, making this release a particularly timely one. Originally released in the heady musical atmosphere of 1969, Sea Shanties was the first album by High Tide, a quartet fronted by guitarist/singer/songwriter Tony Hill, formerly of the legendary garage combo The Misunderstood. High Tide embodied the eclectic attitude of its era, combining psychedelic infuences with a harder, darker edge that's reflected in Hill's ominous lyrics and the band's raw, punchy sound. The group's most distinctive sonic trademark was the unique interplay between Hill's slashing, effects-laden guitar and the aggressive, distortion-heavy playing of violinist Simon House (who subsequently joined Hawkwind and recorded with David Bowie).

For this LP reissue, Sea Shanties has been meticulously mastered from the original stereo analog masters to faithfully preserve the sound of the original release. In keeping with the high standards for which Sundazed has become known, the album is pressed on high quality, high-definition vinyl, with complete original cover art that reproduces artist Peter Whitehead's elaborate gatefold design.

Drucker and Markus Acher trade words that evoke the blind earnestness of youth, and then chronicle its gradual leaching out by the loss of luck and the sink of realization-- all shooting stars, Superman stride, climbing bills and death-by-routine. This is a monumental record, the next step in the evolution of something bigger than anything we're used to. The Notwist players bring an ear for gorgeous rock pop arrangement and taste for dubby glitch, while themselves grin toothy darkness and breathe electro-rap experimentalism. Such seemingly disparate sounds combine into something truly cohesive, wholly unique, and deeply visceral.

The album pushes the sonic envelope far out into deepest realms of cosmic disco exploration. Elitechnique fresh from their remix for Alden Tyrell and 12 on the mighty Clone label, turn in an absolutely storming euro monster and what's this the vocals are now in French? Suitably bizarre!

The mighty Prins Thomas stretches the original out into an elastic tripped out space monster.

Brooklyn's finest, the illustrious In Flagranti, turn in a chunky, deep and bumping mix that makes you want to wiggle and grin.

Quiet Village have been having it away all over the place recently, with incredible mixes for Allez Allez, The Gorillas and Cosmo Vitelli plus their always sold out, impossible to find releases on Whatever We Want. They produce a taut psychological thriller worthy of John Carpenter. This really has to be heard on a big system to be believed.

Black Mustang takes you on a twisted Goblin like journey into the darkest recesses of the acid disco brain. Look out for their forthcoming 12 with Kerrier District and Sleeparchive.

And to cap it all Unit 4 aka Jupiter Black/Isolators turn in perhaps their deepest hit yet. A beautiful, brooding slice of 21st century electronics.

The exact significance of the number eight is yet to be revealed, but perhaps one should ask the Chinese: In Chengdu, China, the telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for $270,723, and this year's Beijing Olympics will open on 08/08/08 at 08:08:08 p.m.

In the Jewish Cabbala, eight is the number representing abundance, authority, leadership, cosmic awareness, prosperity, and infinity.

Seven is heaven, eight is a gate.

Like its predecessors Eight Oh Eight features six tracks, all with the trademark Black Devil sound-- but now even more haunting and bizarre. If the last album was like Giorgio Moroder meets Joy Division, then this one is like Salvador Dali meets Cerrone; surrealistic disco for space cadets. Totally unique, yet disturbingly familiar-- a sinister, psychedelic, analogue throb that moves you like no other.

Performing live alongside contemporaries such as Wolf Eyes, Sonic Youth, The Rapture, Boredoms, Lightning Bolt, Animal Collective, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Black Dice are still something of an anomaly. With plenty of critical support-- Cone Toaster was New York Times' Single of the Year; Beaches and Canyons made Rolling Stone editors' Top 5-- Black Dice remain provocative and uncompromising, follow their own rules, constantly reinvent themselves, and challenge listener preconceptions.

“Where are all the voices gone?” A good question in today’s bizarre musical world of video clips and techno where one searches in vain for a tender, sweet-perfumed flower.

But it’s really not so important – as long as we can still find music’s bedrock, so to speak, or are even lucky enough to have it in our audiophile treasure chest. Now that numerous pop groups have finished crossing the dark valley of electronic sensationalism, and “unplugged” sound is accepted as the true ideal in the ‘90s, it is precisely the music from years gone by that has suddenly become “in” once again. Here we find all the ingredients of good, basic song tradition: a great deal of natural singing, refined guitar sound, a little steel guitar, and a pinch of Wurlitzer organ.

This recording from 1976 was Joan Armatrading’s first step on the ladder to a sensational career which has not yet come to an end – perhaps because she has remained to her own original style. The album is just right for teenies and twens wanting to discover the soft, rock-like ballads from the days when their dads had long hair and wore “John-Lennon” glasses. For the older generation it is like re-visiting old times – times when music was really “handmade”.

Musicians:

• Joan Amatrading (guitar, vocals)
• Jimmy Jewell (saxophone)
• Peter Wood (organ, piano, keyboards)
• Bryn Haworth (guitar, mandolin)
• Graham Lyle, Jerry Donahue (guitar)
• Dave Markee (bass)
• Tony Carr (drums)

Recording : 1976 at Olympic Studios, London by Glyn Jones Production: Glyn Jones

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.

While BLOODHAG's minute-long songs have the common theme of esteemed authors such as George Orwell and Philip K. Dick--and their live shows include between-song mini-lectures as well as pelting of the audience with books--the music counters with the blunt force of bands like BRUJERIA, PANTERA, SEPULTURA, etc.

It's open to debate whether Edu-core can actually pummel literary history into the hungry minds of head-banging youth, but we certainly can't blame BLOODHAG for trying to bridge the gap between death metal tombs and Pulizerwilling tomes or the beer-soaked venues and pristine libraries (yes, they really tour public libraries).

With their neckties and pocket protectors cocked and loaded, BLOODHAG is ready to stave off the dumbing down of America. So, invest in the leaders of tomorrow! Buy Hell Bent for Letters today!

Glorifyingly hooked on demonics, they make some of the heaviest, snuggie underwear-soiling sounds this side of SPAZZ and BRUJERIA, while mixing in some Reading Rainbow, -Thrasher Magazine

This is where it all began for these acid casualty reality trippers. Brown Reason To Live is their very first release; it came out in 1983. Here it is on vintage thick wax. 12" vinyl, 7-song ep- their first classic slab o' wax, and still as crazed and lysergic as ever! P.S.- And the answer to the timeless question, "what speed is this meant to be played on?" It's meant to be played at 69 rpm, of course! (But if your turntable doesn't have a "69" setting, try it on 45 instead.) "'I am the ultimate god!' followed by the sounds of a man nearly breaking down in tears- it's one of the most emotional and honest moments in rock history. Oddly enough it's at the end of a song called 'The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave' off of the superb Butthole Surfers debut EP 'Brown Reason To Live.' It's that accidental shift from extreme bravado to mournful regret that most bands only dream of pulling off, and it's all courtesy of some of America's most drug-addled pranksters. The following 6 tracks put experimental punk on the map. No one was quite sure what to make of it. Was it psychedelia, was it punk rock, or was it just crap? But everyone was certain that it was nothing like anything else. Insane, but not cheesy, lyrics that sounded passionate while the music sometimes grooved, rocked, irritated, or just became noise... this sounds brilliant. Drums that pound and words have the clarity required to catch such oddball lines as 'I got a stiff upper lip because I'm half dead' and 'they shot the pope's ass... and I feel good!" Kids, everyone, this is required listening. This is their peak..." - Punk Planet "Gibby Haines' [sic] insane crew started life on AT with this appropriately scatologically-themed mini-album ["Brown Reason To Live"]. Song titles include "The Revenge of Anus Presley"- enough said."

Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan's recent re-emergence as an artist after an exile of over 30 years, comes the release of Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind, a comprehensive compilation of early recordings dating from the period prior to Vashti's classic Just another Diamond Day album which was originally released in 1970.

Titled after Vashti's (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the compilation, this double-album represents an attempt to both open out and draw a line under the past, and also to try to set the record straight about the disparity between how Vashti viewed (and still views) herself against the way she has been popularly perceived. Widely construed as a folk singer - a tag she fundamentally disagrees with - these recordings instead reveal Vashti as a pop singer, however fragile and unique.

As Vashti explains in her liner notes to the album, I have heard it said that Andrew Oldham took this fragile little folk-singer and tried to make her into a pop-singer against her will. No he didn't. Too fragile for his world I might have been, but that was no fault of his... I wanted to bring simple acoustic music into mainstream pop.

Before she dropped out and set off on that epic horse and cart journey up the length of the country, and before any of the ...Diamond Day songs that saw her tarred under the folk title, these recordings reveal a young London girl writing a series of beautiful love songs that resonate profoundly via an almost brutal efficiency and honesty. All very brief (many of them clocking in at under 2 minutes ), the songs here are ultra-economic distillations on a limited number of themes (of independence and freedom to move and to grow, that love is changeable, that you cannot pin anything or anyone down in this world - and if you try it mostly won't work.). The melodies seem timelessly sweet and addictive. The vision at once delicate but somehow tough as granite. There's nothing extraneous, no drawn-out lingering over a lyrical theme or a melody. The songs are snappy and instead of ever outstaying their welcome, regularly leave you yearning for more and reaching for the replay. Isn't that the hallmark of good pop?

A complete collection of Vashti's existing early recordings, the album is divided across two discs and features 25 tracks - mostly rescued from a number of old acetates and quarter-inch tapes Vashti's brother John had found in his attic a few years ago.

The first disc gathers together the early singles (two of which were unreleased) and a set of taped demos recorded between 1965 - 67. Discovered via an industry friend by Rolling Stones manager/guru Andrew Loog Oldham, who gave her a Jagger/Richards song, ('Some Things...') Vashti was put in the studio to record the song accompanied by a full orchestra. The B side was her own 'I Want To Be Alone' and released as her debut single on the Decca label in May 1965. Despite a whirlwind of promotion, the single flopped and Vashti left to pursue more pared-down ambitions, recording 'Train Song'/'Love Song' for Columbia, with just voice, guitar and cello. Again foundering with no publicity upon its release in June 1966, Vashti left again, this time returning to Andrew Oldham and the Immediate label he had just started. She recorded three more singles ('Winter Is Blue' / 'Coldest Night Of The Year' / 'I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind') between 1966 - 1967, yet each again remained frustratingly unreleased, leading to Vashti's disenchantment with the industry and disappearance, bound for the Isle of Skye and a colourful if obscure existence in which she would not pick up a guitar again for over 30 years.

Deliberately separated off from this first disc (and separated by a one minute gap of silence on the promo), the second disc comprises the entire, unaltered contents of a long-forgotten tape discovered at the last minute before mastering, whilst Vashti was searching for one of the master reels for disc one. Featuring just Vashti's voice and guitar, unadorned and with no overdubs, the twelve songs here were rattled out one after another with spoken introduction in one hour of time she'd borrowed the money for and booked at a studio in central London in 1964. Four of these songs were then run out to a 7 acetate (since lost/destroyed) which would serve as her demo. These were the first recordings Vashti had ever made of the songs she had written aged eighteen and nineteen. Considering they sat gathering dust in a shed and then in an attic for nearly forty years, the tapes are amazingly well preserved, and after baking reveal a stunning set of raw, pure, intimate recordings. At times it almost feels like you're in the room with her; that these are songs sung for your ears alone.

After the demise of The Hidden Hand, Wino did not rest. With new found energy he completed the writing of many songs and decided to enlist the help of some friends to realize his new musical vision. The idea was not to start yet another power trio. This time it was about finding players who would help realize his songs his way. This more 'Wino' focused direction was fleshed out with the help of two amazing musicians: Jean Paul Gaster (Clutch, The Bakerton Group) on drums and Jon Blank (Rezin) on bass. Punctuated Equilibrium was recorded by J. Robbins who had worked extensively with both The Hidden Hand and Clutch.

The album comes with amazing original artwork by David D'Andrea and contains extensive liner notes from Wino himself that explicitly describe the origin and concept of each track. Along with all that, this deluxe gatefold 180g vinyl version contains a bonus 10 featuring four brand new bonus tracks limited soley to this release.

American audiences were introduced to the married pair, who met at a Malian school for the blind, with its Nonesuch debut Dimanche à Bamako, produced by the Paris-based world-music provocateur Manu Chao. With Chao behind the wheel, the album was like an exhilaratingly bumpy taxi ride straight into the heart of the Malian capital; cacophonous sounds of the streets mixed in with the spare, propulsive rhythms of the songs, making it all sound thrillingly immediate. Amadou & Mariam, already into the second decade of their overseas career, attracted an impressively wide-ranging state side audience, from world music stalwarts to clubgoers to indie rockers.

Welcome to Mali, recorded in Bamako, Dakar, Paris and London and produced with longtime manager Marc-Antoine Moreau, is less high-concept travelogue than straightforward set, yet it proves to be even more adventurous and exuberantly rocking. Damon Albarn briefly joins the pair, co-producing and co-writing the opening track Sabali, as ingeniously arranged as the best of his work with the Gorillaz and featuring Mariams almost otherworldly vocals over swirls of disco-style keyboards. Amadou has long spoken of his affection for classic rock and it shows in his playing; Londons Independent calls Welcome to Mali a rock album with an African Heart. Theres a bit of Yardbirds-era swinging London, keyboard arrangements that wouldnt be out of place in a Parisian disco, hip hop breaks from Toronto-based Somalian rapper Knaan and the occasional garage-rock riff, as well as traditional touches courtesy of fellow Malian Toumani Diabaté and his magical kora playing. A deep undercurrent of the blues, an arguably indigenous Malian sound that migrated to the Mississippi delta, runs through the disc. Says Uncut, Amadous slithering, grinding guitar riffs sound dark and spiky, the missing link between Ali Farka Touré and Steve Cropper.

This self titled album was originally meant to be released by Capitol Records in October of 1970, but Ford fell out with the company's executives before the project was manufactured.

Humpty Dumpty LSD sounds like a lost Buttholes album from somewhere between Locust Abortion Technician and Hairway to Steven. For those who weren't there when the Buttholes, their pit bull, and a bank of strobe lights then, toured the country playing their own brand of acid punk for those who grew up listening to hardcore but wanted something more, Humpty Dumpty LSD is the next best thing.

Although the band name itself may not ring any bells for too many people, largely because it never relased any records during its lifetime (1964-1967), The Wilde Flowers were a pillar of the legendary Canterbury scene of the mid-to-late '60s. Band members included: Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Hugh Hopper (all soon to form the seminal Soft Machine) as well as members from another influential Canterbury band, Caravan (David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings, Richard Coughlan, Brian Hopper). In fact, much of the material found here could have easily been found on an early Soft Machine album. This 19-track compilation is now finally available on vinyl for the first time.

Spektor's ability to explore rich soundscapes and combine them with her evocative and intricately structured melodies and lyrics has grown tremendously on Far. From the gripping lyrics of the first single, Laughing With to the intoxicating beat of The Calculation, from the multi-layered vocal work on Blue Lips to the rocking Eet, Far is the work of a talented, daring and important artist.

Captivating audiences with songs that are distinctively her own, Begin to Hope allowed Spektor to go from hypnotizing small crowds to selling out 3,000 capacity venues worldwide with what Rolling Stone praised as one of the most intensely joyful rock shows we've seen. Begin to Hope also spent five weeks in a row at #1 on the Billboard new artists chart before moving to #20 on the Billboard Top 100 and one million copies worldwide (gold or platinum in seven countries).

One of the best live bands of all time, QMS were ready to record much before their eponymous debut in 1968. The acid psych combo formed by John Cipollina, Gary Duncan, Jim Murray, David Freiberg and Gary Elmore had been active in West Coast venues and live festivals since 1965, mainly as a jam session band with long lasting performances in the typical pre hippy Bay Area style. This April, 1968 concert at the Carousel Ballroom, performed a month before their vinyl debut, unveils the mesmerizing and hypnotic power that the band was developing at this early stage. Amazing audio quality for a double album that will disappoint neither core fans nor newcomers.

ItÆs dense subject matter for any artist, but delivered beautifully on this record by Springfield, MO native sons Ha Ha Tonka. Named after an Ozarks state park, the band has earned comparisons to Kings of Leon, Old 97s and Fleet Foxes. Following their last record, 2007Æs critically lauded Buckle in the Bible Belt, the band gathered up their four-part harmonies and tore across the nation, opening for Ben Kweller, Backyard Tire Fire, and Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin before their well-received show at Lollapalooza 2008. This record, driven but contemplative, mysterious but clean, delicate but much more guitar-heavy than the previous effort, is the next logical step in their musical journey.

From the junebug-like humming guitars that open the record on Pendergast Machine, to the tent-revival spiritual a capellas complementing several tracks, this record is a product of whence it came. From religion on the eponymously named Walking on the Devil's Backbone,) to retribution on What Shepherds of These Hills, Ha Ha Tonka tackle bleak material with a sense of lightness and perseverance, and a lyrical sensibility that's sharp as a tack.

The band that was louder than the Who, John's Children became one of the earliest examples of psychedelic flower power. Jagged Time Lapse finds the one and only Marc Bolan (T.Rex) at his loudest and the album features everything you could ask for from one of Britains most rambunctious bands. In fact, the band's stage show, which included band members fighting each other and Bolan whipping the stage with a chain, was a huge influence on punk rock. Includes band favorites such as: Desdemona (which was banned by the BBC due to its controversial lyrics), Midsummer Nights Scene and Go-Go Girl. Also features a bonus track cover of The Beatles Help.

Voltaic, then, is a remarkable, multi-media document of what happened after the record was completed, a journey of a different sort as the ever-evolving singer assembled her live band, made a collection of typically amazing videos and one-step-ahead remixes, and toured the world for two years, making headline appearances at diverse venues and large festivals, including Glastonbury, Coachella and even Harlems Apollo Theatre. She recorded the Voltaic live album in one take at Olympic Studio in London with her new band, prior to her 2007 Glastonbury appearance, presenting the set she would play on tour, songs from Volta and new arrangements of such older material as Pagan Poetry, All Is Full Of Love and a thunderous version of Army Of Me. Its a stunning performance, featuring cutting-edge computer technology, an old-school horn section and a female, ag-toting Icelandic choir.

Volta, said the NME, was another amazing statement of intent full of hope, eccentricity and wonderfulness. Voltaic presents a fascinating abundance of evidence that, as the NME put it, theres still no one like her.

If Beyond was Dinosaur Jr.'s return to form, Farm is proof that this band continues to deliver that which makes rock worth cranking to 11. At times a wholly 70Æs guitar-epic, at times perfect for sitting by a babbling brook with Joni and Neil, Farm encompasses Dinosaur Jr.'s signature palette; soaring and distorted guitar, unshakable hooks, honey-rich melodies, songs that get into your head and stay there. The ear-catching ôPlansö is nearly 7 minutes of classic whipped-topping rock dessert, while ôI Don't Wanna Go Thereö is a meat-and-potatoes main dish, mixing unapologetic lead guitar with straight-ahead delivery a la James Gang or Humble Pie. These two tunes round out twelve tracks propelled by the unique energy of one of AmericaÆs greatest living rock bands hitting their stride.

Farm was recorded and produced by J Mascis in his Bisquiteen studio in Amherst, Massachusetts. This 2 x vinyl LP version comes in a beautiful litho-wrapped gatefold jacket and includes a digital download coupon for free MP3s of the album.

Upon the inevitable demise of Canada's most beloved garage rock underdogs, The Deadly Snakes (In the Red Records), of which Andrew and Chad were core members, Quest For Fire began to prepare for their great unveiling before Toronto's wary rock scene. On a hot August night in 2007 the band made their first appearance at The Boat, one of Toronto's most cherished dive bars. They quickly became the city's most sought-after new band. Show offers came flooding in to open for acts such as Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Mudhoney, Earthless, Howlin Rain and Witch. As their old bands burned out, QFF took off. The Deadly Snakes faded within time and MikeÆs tenure with Canadian metal/hardcore heads Cursed came to an abrupt end. One year after the release of their debut album, QFF is stoked to announce that they have been picked up by New York's Tee Pee Records.

Formed in 2005, Gallows earned a reputation as the fiercest band around first in community centers and punk dives, and later at established venues and festivals. 2006's debut Orchestra Of Wolves was reissued by Warner Bros. in the U.K. and Epitaph in the U.S. and in 2007 its Staring At The Rude Bois went U.K. Top 40 and hit #1 U.K. Rock. Gallows also won the 2007 Kerrang! Award for Best British Newcomer.

From the bright curtain-raising opener ôCannibal Resourceö to the stunning off-kilter ôTemecula Sunriseö and ôUseful Chamber'sö ornate harmonies, Bitte Orca contains the ProjectorsÆ best individual songs to date. ItÆs a big rock album by design and the results are both universal and singular. ôStillness Is The Moveö and ôTwo Dovesö were written specifically for the voices and temperaments of Coffman and Derardoorian, who take solo turns respectively. While CoffmanÆs ôStillness Is The Moveö is an R&B anthem, DeradoorianÆs ôTwo Dovesö is stringed and elegantly spare.

Bitte OrcaÆs idiosyncratic and sincere take on popular music is reminiscent of David Byrne with whom the Dirty Projectors collaborated on ôKnotty Pineö for the 2009 compilation Dark Was The Night. In many ways, Longstreth could be seen as this generationÆs answer to Byrne, a distinctive torchbearer of labyrinthine song arrangements that go down easy.

Brian Olive's name first came into the public eye as a founding guitarist/singer of the Greenhornes, and later as a member of the Soledad Brothers, for whom he provided saxophone and sundries under the pseudonym of Oliver Henry. However, unlike those prior genre-specific endeavors, this album, his self-titled debut, is a breakout multicolored affair that takes musical and lyrical cues from the British psychedelic '60s, as well as the soul-pop hit factories of Memphis, and wanders through the erstwhile streets of the Ninth Ward.

The sessions took place in Cincinnati, in what was once the basement vault of a pawn shop, and were produced, recorded and mixed on analog tape by Brian himself. Beside playing guitar, woodwind and piano, Olive is accompanied on the album by friends Jared McKinney and Craig Fox of the Greenhornes, Mike Weinel, formerly of the Heartless Bastards, and Dan Allaire who did time with the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Olive also sings lead and is backed by the Kadish Sisters with Donna Jay, a vocal trio brought together in the studio for the occasion.

The Smiths' eclectic 1985 release finds the band branching out into rockabilly, post-punk and flashes of funk, all while refining the guitar pop of their debut. Produced by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, Meat Is Murder is the band's sole studio album to reach #1 on the U.K. charts. The Headmaster Ritual and I Want the One I Can't Have are fine elaborations on the formula the band introduced on their debut, while Rusholme Ruffians is an infectious take on rockabilly. There was no other British group making music quite like this in 1985.

Track Listing:
1. The Headmaster Ritual

3. I Want the One I Can't Have
4. What She Said
5. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
6. Nowhere Fast
7. Well I Wonder
8. Barbarism Begins at Home
9. Meat Is Murder

Arguably the Smiths' masterpiece, The Queen Is Dead features the elegance, craftsmanship and humor which has led the band to musical eminence. Marr's dense web of guitars create a rich musical foundation here for some of Morrissey's most affecting set of lyrics. The wistful The Boy With the Thorn in His Side and the epic There Is a Light That Never Goes Out are two of the crowning achievements in the band's oeuvre and they provide the ideal cornerstone for what is a remarkable overall album.

Track Listing:
1. The Queen Is Dead (Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty)

9. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
10. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

With their eponymous 1984 debut, The Smiths began their tenure as the definitive British indie rock band as well as the torchbearers of a new musical era. Johnny Marr's inventive songwriting and Morrissey's unconventional croon made for an evocative sound that was both original and innovative. Songs about homosexuality (Hand in Glove) and child molestation and murder (Suffer Little Children) enshrouded the band in controversy and cultlike devotion, both of which would only grow from here.

1. Reel Around the Fountain

For the Assjack album, Hank III performed, wrote and produced everything you hear. Playing all the instruments and being involved with it that way helps keep me on my toes, he says from his Nashville home. One day it would be nice to have the band here in town where we can just jam, but most of my guys arent around, so I have to work harder.

Never one afraid to go against what people expect of him, Hank III says hes gotten strong and sometimes violent responses to his music. Its pretty surprising how the power of music can piss some people off. Growing up the way I had to, and some of the redneck bars I had to play in, they just think its complete disrespect to their establishment and to them, you know I cant make everyone happy and it is what it is. It doesnt matter if its the red neck that gets upset and thinks Im pissing Hank Williams off, or the young kid that thinks Im selling out by playing hard rock, which is totallyif I was selling out, I would be doing what a producer tells me and dressing up all pretty and only be doing country music, thats how to make money. I just stuck with the hard road, thats what makes us different and unique and gives the wide audience range from 14 to 80 out therecowboys, punks, metalheads, jocks, grandmas and the average everyday person. We bring them all together under the same roof. Thats what makes us proud. Thats what makes it worth it at the end of the day.

R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of their trademark sound for their full-length debut album, Murmur by de-emphasizing the backbeat and accentuating the ambience of the guitars. Even though it's firmly rooted in the tradition of American folk-rock, post-punk, and garage rock, Murmur sounds eerily timeless, as if it appeared out of nowhere. Part of the distinctiveness lies in the atmospheric production, which exudes a detached sense of mystery, but it also comes from the remarkably accomplished songwriting. R.E.M. went on to produce a few albums that may have been on par with Murmur, but they never made anything that sounded quite like it. Reissued here on audiophile quality 180g vinyl with original packaging.

Oneida has been releasing genre-defying music since 1997. They have nine full-length albums (one as double album, and now one as triple album) and various EPs and singles to their name. The list of great musicians and artists that Oneida have performed or collaborated with is far too extensive to briefly summarize here. They are critical darlings, they have become ambassadors for Jagjaguwar, and they are paying it forward with a label of their own called Brah Records (distributed by Jagjaguwar). For the reductivist in you, consider Oneida the bastard offspring of a Can/Suicide marriage, a band who is not afraid to pluck, tap, bend, synth or crash their way to the various extremes of rock, pop, folk and the avant-garde, and who brilliantly do so without alienating the respective fans of any of these so-called genres.

The journey from then until now has not only given her more years, but more confidence, more experience of life, the courage to let the music express when words seem too restrictive. The name Blue Roses is encompassing; it is more than just one person and their sole aspirations, it is what happened in making the album, this process gave the need for another, more representative name. Blue Roses is the story, with Laura Groves as the protagonist. Included is a cast of family members to play instruments and a choir of firm friends, acquaintances and perfect strangers gathered together in a caf? to help. A small amount of money and a little faith was stretched with the benevolence and enthusiasm of those who stood at each door. From recording in living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms in various houses, to recording a Steinway in a local piano shop (a millionaire, who despite having paid a five-figure sum for the concert grand piano, was enchanted enough by the story and the music to allow Laura to record with it before it was moved to entertain guests his Lake District hotel). The equipment graciously bought and generously lent, (most of which was older than Laura herself, some of which was of pensionable age) put her on a sonic par with her idols and instilled in her a romance which translated through the Neumann, the Gibson and Wurlitzer, the Neve. The valves, the plates, the springs, the tape, transformers and circuitry are as musical as the instruments and voices passing through them, and are part of the story, the color between the lines.

I was absent from my audience for so long, Yusuf says, people thought another album would never come. The 2006 album, An Other Cup, was a surprise. With this new album, the distance is much less. I'm back to doing what I do best, painting pictures with music and storytelling on a very human, personal, intuitive level through lyrics and song, so I can help people feel good again. I guess in some ways the new album picks up where the Cat Stevens the public knows left off.

The album, Roadsinger (To Warm You Through The Night), was produced by the now singularly named Yusuf with help from Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Martha Wainwright), and recorded around the world. Guests include Morrison, Michelle Branch and Holly Williams (granddaughter of Hank Williams, Sr.).

The new album is a response to the way An Other Cup was received, Yusuf explains. Fans said they wanted to hear more of me with a guitar. So, this album is much more folk-tale oriented. Also, apart from one track, all of it was recorded live. I listened to a lot of' '70s L.A. music, such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Carole King, and it inspired me to go back into that intimate style of recording. The songs are somewhat autobiographical but abstract enough so everyone can relate to them and connect them to their own lives.

The title track, Roadsinger, unfolds the tale of an outcast who revisits his old hometown; along the empty street a child peeks from behind a store window and gives an innocent smile out of the shadows of prejudice. The theme of a journey has always been big with me, says Yusuf. A journey that was unexpectedly cut short in 2004 was when Yusuf was flying from his London home to Washington, D.C., en route to a meeting with Dolly Parton, who had recorded Peace Train several years earlier and wanted Yusuf to play guitar on her cover of his Where Do the Children Play. The incident that made headlines was resolved in 2006 and Yusuf's new song Boots and Sand resulted.

There are plenty people who sing, but not enough who have walked far from their block, he says. I embraced an unexpected spiritual path that was confusing for many (converting to Islam in 1977). Sadly, I'm still often misunderstood. Some people want to put me into their own one-sided view, but I don't fit those limitations. My world is still borderless and wide. The removal of conflict and establishment of peace has always been my global objective. It's a shame that lot of people, including some Muslims, overlook the name Islam, which actually comes from the word 'Peace' in Arabic.

The forthcoming album also showcases some songs from his upcoming musical Moonshadow. The story takes place on a planet of perpetual night where only the moon's shine lights the darkness; it is about a boy's meeting with his Moonshadow and the adventures they share in search for the a world of the sunlight and happiness. As well as having many new songs, the surrealistic musical, Moonshadow also weaves classic songs from his past, including Morning Has Broken, Wild World and The First Cut Is The Deepest.

Yusuf's return to his guitar came about when his teenage artist-musician son, Muhammad (aka Yoriyos), brought one home again. One morning, Yusuf was alone in the lounge when he looked over and felt a draw of curiosity overtake him. He slowly picked it up. I put my fingers on the fretboard to make a 'C' chord, he remembers, and surprised myself, It's still there! It felt right. So I started playing again. On the forthcoming album, Yusuf even plays electric guitar on a couple of tracks, along with keyboards. This part of my career feels similar in one sense to when I began, Yusuf reflects. I had to get past the songs on Mona Bone Jakon before I could move on to Tea For The Tillerman, etc. This time around it was the same story: I laid the groundwork with my debut album, An Other Cup, which inspired a great new collection of songs and scribblings. I had quite a few in my back pocket and again it was my son who sparked the next step. He said, 'Isn't it time to start recording a new album?' And it was.

Ciam represents an old-school ideology of what music is really about, and it's one to which we seriously need to return: art and ideas born out of collaboration, spontaneity, intuition, and improvisation. It's about free expression through sound and its revision into something tangible, like choruses, hooks, bridges and balls-out-rock. - Flaunt
