NEWS FROM BABEL	Letters Home	LP	RER VINYL	RER NFB2
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/19/2021 ReR Vinyl present the first vinyl reissue of News From Babel's Letters Home, originally released in in 1986. Recorded at the legendary Cold Storage studio in London and first released in 1986 this is one of the greatest chapters in the '80s post-Henry Cow/Art Bears era. News From Babel was the song project inaugurated by two ex-Henry Cow, Lindsay Cooper (bassoon, sopranino and alto saxophone, keyboards) and Chris Cutler (drums, electrics) plus Zeena Parkins (harp, electric harps, accordion). A band that created a totally new sound as result of the combination of unusual instruments and arrangements. A highly integrated mixture of avant-rock, chamber music, and Brecht-Eisler cabaret-oriented songs, not much like anything else recorded before or since. Letters Home is the band's second album and it features contributions by Bill Gilonis (The Work) on bass and guitar and vocals appearances from four master singers such as Robert Wyatt, Dagmar Krause, Phil Minton, and Sally Potter. This is the art of extended song form at its peak and it's of course highly recommended to anyone looking for adventurous new sounds. Remastered by Bob Drake, this is the first-ever vinyl reissue with full texts and illustrations enclosed.

SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND	No Sleep Till Ypsilanti	LP	BANG! RECORDS	BANG 144LP
$26.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/29/2021 Recently discovered ultra-rare tape of a set by the legendary Detroit super group recorded in 1976 and with excellent quality. Pre the iconic 7" single release of City Slang. This record is a historic reference since this is the origins of Sonic's Rendezvous Band where the band develops a strong cross between blues rock and high energy, including ultra-rare covers of artists such as Bob Dylan and Ray Charles, among others. Sonic's Rendezvous Band came from the ashes of four Michigan rock bands: Fred "Sonic" Smith formerly of the MC5, Scott Morgan formerly of the Rationals, a soul-influenced Detroit band of the 1960s, Gary Rasmussen formerly of The Up, and Scott Asheton formerly of The Stooges. They remained virtually unknown, but their one and only single retained high interest among fans of Detroit rock. The band had had only enough money to mix one song, "City Slang", so it was pressed on both sides of the single. One side was labeled mono and one side stereo although both sides were identical. A badly recorded bootleg LP called Strikes Like Lightning was traded in the 1980s. Renewed interest in Scott Morgan, who was critically acclaimed in the 1980s with bands like Scots Pirates and the Scott Morgan Band who were largely successful only in the Midwest. SRB disciples, Sweden's Hellacopters recorded five Scott Morgan/SRB compositions which further popularized the group. Scott Morgan went on to record with the Hellacopter's Nicke Royale, releasing two Hydromatics albums as well as two soul albums by The Solution. The band has enjoyed renewed interest, along with mainstream critical acclaim in the music press, with the September 2006, release of a six-disc box set, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, by UK label Easy Action. The record was reviewed by Rolling Stone, October 19, 2006, by David Fricke, as one of "Fricke's Picks." saying of the band's 1978 single (included in the set) "City Slang," "5:15 of assault guitars, railroad drumming and Smith's determined-rebel call -- has all you need to know why SRB were masters of their domain." That domain, as Fricke put it was "the Detroit Church of High Energy Rock."

MONKEYWRENCH, THE	Electric Children	LP	BANG! RECORDS	BANG 140LP
$26.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/29/2021 Recorded in Seattle in 1999, this monster record is now being reissued on vinyl remastered by Jack Endino. As soon as the opening track of Electric Children begins, you realize that The Monkeywrench have gotten much tighter in their second album, since their debut eight years before. The production also seems more raw, possibly due to the fact that the band moved from Conrad Uno to veteran Seattle producer Jack Endino, who also engineered the first releases from bassist Steve Turner and vocalist Mark Arm's other band, Mudhoney. Also contributing to the rawness of the record is the absence of Arm's trademark piano and organ. This enhances the energy, causing you to notice a more frantic, electrified side of the band. As on the debut album, Clean as a Broke-Dick Dog (1992), several genres of music are given equal time, including the country of "Thirteen Nights" and "The Empty Place", the rockabilly of "The Weasel's In The Barn", the Eastern modal quality of "Around Again", and the noise rock of the closing number, "In the days of the Five". The Monkeywrench have grown in their ability to craft a song, and the result is a masterpiece. Check this band: Mark Arm (Mudhoney, Bloodloss), Steve Turner (Mudhoney), Tim Kerr (Big Boys), Tom Price (Gas Huffer, U-Men), Martin Bland (Bloodloss, Lubricated Goat). Licensed by Estrus Records.

COMELADE/RICHARD PINHAS, PASCAL	Le Plan De Paris	LP	STAUBGOLD	STAUB 159LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/22/2021 Pascal Comelade and Richard Pinhas met in Paris in 1974, when Pinhas was beginning to go on stage with his group Heldon. With Heldon and, afterwards, solo, Pinhas became the pioneer and accelerator of electronic music in France, and a fundamental reference throughout the world. Comelade's electronic period was much shorter, from 1974 to 1981. From 1983 on, he developed his policy of instrumental, strictly acoustic music. In 1975, Pinhas recorded the introduction to Comelade's Fluence album. In 1996, Comelade recorded "Back To Schizo" with Pinhas. In 1999, Comelade and Pinhas recorded their first duo album, a CD for the Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'acier label: Oblique Sessions II. In 2012, they released a second CD album for the G3G label in Barcelona, Flip Side (of Sophism). In 2018, Comelade again invited Pinhas on his album Le Cut-Up Populaire. During the last few years, they have had several concerts as a duo in Paris (Cité de la musique, La Maroquinerie) and Barcelona (Sónar Festival). They met again in 2020 for this LP album, Le Plan De Paris. It contains six titles that were either previously unreleased or completely revisited, developed, remixed. Edition of 500.

GELB & A BAND OF GYPSIES, HOWE	Alegrias	LP	EUREKA	E 144LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/22/2021 Ten years have passed since the release of this album and it has not lost its validity. Alegrías by Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies doesn't sound like anything you've heard before. While maintaining the Arizona desert flavor that Howe was working with over the years, his sound takes on new nuances as it merges with flamenco beats. On this album, Howe explores unknown territories halfway between American roots, southern and border rock, and the purest flamenco. As Howe said in many times while he was living in the desert, the only three tapes he listened to in his car were: Tom Waits, Miles Davis, and Tomatito. Many years later, an unexpected combination of chance and destiny transported him to the south of Spain, specifically to Córdoba. There, in the newly opened Eureka studios, he found the perfect atmosphere to launch his new project with a friend, Fernando Vacas. The echoes of Tomatito and the passion that Córdoba inspired in Howe Gelb are forces behind the album. Covered by musicians from Córdoba, among Raimundo Amador's regular collaborators such as Lin Cortés (flamenco guitar), Juan Panki (flamenco guitar), or Añil Fernández (cajon) and his classic double bass of Torgue Lund, the album began to take shape in the endless rehearsals. Gelb's voice instantly seduced the Andalusian musicians and after several meetings, the one from Tucson began to write the first lyrics of the album, inspired by the intensity of the sessions. As a culmination, the appearance of Raimundo Amador, who decided to join the project by contributing his virtuous and inimitable touch from which musicians such as Björk and BB King have already benefited. Proof of this is the ravishing intro to "Cowboy Boots On Cobble Stones", full of groan and feeling where he demonstrates his talent for improvisation. After the album was finished, the leader of Giant Sand suggested the collaboration of his friend John Parish, an English musician and producer, known for his work with PJ Harvey. Fernando Vacas accepted the challenge and traveled to Bristol to mix the songs with Parish. The chemistry continued to flow and the result is an album that preserves the flavor of the two traditions that it fuses, both southern roots from both sides of the Atlantic, while discovering a new and unique way of interpreting them. Gatefold sleeve. Includes download with bonus tracks.

PAX	Pax	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 399LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/22/2021 In 1968, Los Shain's magnificent saga of beat, garage and psychedelia came to an end with the dissolution of the band. Pico Ego-Aguirre, the band leader and lead guitarist, embarked on a journey through the hard rock music that made its way to South America courtesy of Vanilla Fudge, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple, releasing a record with several tracks in this style with his brand-new line-up Los Nuevos Shain's. In those days, Peru was governed by a two-sided military dictatorship. On one side, it implemented progressive measures to defend popular sectors that had been ignored for decades by the State. But, on the other, it deported detractors of the regime, censored the media and, in the name of combating alienation, expressed strong views against the hippy movement, hitchhiking, and psychedelic parties, often cancelling gigs. Amidst the comings and goings of the so-called Peruvian revolution, rock bands latched on tight to sounds that were as harsh as the era they were living through. The elegant beat of Los Jaguar's, Same People, Los Sideral's, Los Benton's, and Los Zany's soon made way for the energetic rhythms of Cooking Morning, Elemental Music Group, Catarsis, or Los Comandos. Pico Ego-Aguirre travelled in a similar direction. An ardent fan of The Beatles, in 1971 he looked for musicians committed to following in the footsteps of his favorite British hard rock bands. By the end of 1971, Pico, his brother and guitarist Fernando and the vocalist Manolo Montenegro (all former Nuevos Shain's), together with the drummer Ricardo Macedo (ex-Mads) and bass guitarist Carlos "Oso" Torres (former Dr Wheat) were already rehearsing under the name of Pax, but nobody remembers who christened the band. In February 1972m Sono Radio presented them to the press. They started recording the first tracks straight away until disagreements surfaced about song credits. When "Oso" Torres quit, this exit signaled the end of the group. Pico closed the chapter on this initial line-up and went in search of what would become the classic Pax line-up. Three young Peruvians and a North American, all under the age of 23, put together an album with lyrics in English, vigorous guitar solos, double bass drum set and a record sleeve suffused with symbology, which the future Peruvian heavy metal movement would consider foundational. Original gatefold sleeve and artwork; includes an insert with extensive liner notes.

IN-FUZZED, THE	The In-Fuzzed	LP	STAUBGOLD	STAUB 158LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/22/2021 It was the beginning of 2019 at the WattHaus studios in Perpignan when The In-Fuzzed rose from the incandescent ashes of Hair & The Iotas. They still played garage rock, but with even more fuzz and energy. The arrival of an ex-member of El Vicio and Destination Lonely certainly shook things up a bit. After several concerts in the South of France and two singles, The In-Fuzzed now release their first, eponymous album in collaboration with Staubgold. 13 original titles, linked together seamlessly, have the listener in a state of constant alert, on the lookout for any blast and under the impression that anything may burst from the depths of this devilish rock n' roll among roaring fuzz-pedals and explosive drums. Two guitars (sometimes three: Nico Delseny, ex-member of the Beach Bitches and Sonic Chicken 4, lends a strong hand on some tracks) and an infernal rhythmic section (Michel Morales and Franck Menguin, both veterans of Hair & The Iotas) are recorded live at the rehearsal room by the musicians themselves on an eight-track ½" recorder, a testament to the thrive for authenticity that characterizes them. The vocals and some percussion are overdubbed by Nicolas Faus (El Vicio/Destination Lonely) and Guillaume Picard (Beach Bitches/Les Bellas/Hair & The Iotas). All compositions are original, including "Motor City Baby" and "Xmas Night", early versions of which appeared as singles in 2019. "Lost Time Rock'n'Roll" appeared in 2020 on Renaud Picard's (The Liminanas) new label. "Blind Man", on the other hand, was exhumed from Nicolas Faus's time with Destination Lonely. The track is so good that Destination Lonely have also re-recorded it with different lyrics and released it on their latest album. In terms of influences, The In-Fuzzed are placed at a crossroads of all forms of rock n' roll, from the purest garage-punk, passing through blues, country, and rhythm n' blues all the way to the Beach Boys ("Xmas Night") or Creedence Clearwater Revival ("You Ain't No Friend of Mine"). It has been a long time since there has been such freshness in a genre that has frequently been rejected, disparaged, and disregarded in the last decades. With The In-Fuzzed, garage rock raises its head again.

MICKEY FINN, THE	The Mickey Finn 1964/1967	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 411LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/22/2021 The Mickey Finn may not have notched up hit records, but their sixties adventures took them from the East End of London to trendy clubs in the South of France and the Bahamas. This collection of their work is an impressive tribute to their maverick, hedonistic spirit, comprising all their released recordings plus some "unissued at the time" 1966 tracks that have never been available on vinyl before. Guitarist Mickey Waller and drummer Richard Brand formed the earliest incarnation of the group in London's Bethnal Green in 1962. By late 1963 they'd added bass player John Burkett and lead singer Alan Mark and changed their name to the Central Sound. In 1964 the Blue Beat label had just released a single recorded by members of the Checkmates but credited to an as-yet fictional group, Mickey Finn & the Blue Men. After adding a new member, John "Fluff" Cooke on keyboards, the group began its real recording career in March 1964 when Oriole released a single featuring hip bluebeat arrangements of two R&B numbers, Bo Diddley's "Pills" and Jimmy Reed's "Hush Your Mouth". For the recording session at Regent Sound, they were joined by their friend Jimmy Page on harmonica. Page also played a handful of gigs with them and also blew harp on their next single, a version of Chuck Berry's "Reelin' and Rockin'" backed with an excellent punk R&B original, "I Still Want You". Shel Talmy took over production duties for their next single, released on Columbia in March 1965. On "Night Comes Down" Mark's brooding vocal is underpinned by a tense descending bass line by new member Mick Stannard, atmospheric keyboards from Fluff, and some wild, dissonant guitar work from Mickey Waller and Jimmy Page. Another Talmy-produced track, "It Ain't Necessarily So", also dates from this period. Although the group was kept busy with live work, they went out on a package tour with the Kinks, the Yardbirds, and Goldie & the Gingerbreads, the next Mickey Finn single didn't appear until July 1966. The Polydor release found singer Alan Mark backed by session players for a cover of Billy Stewart's "Because I Love You" and a number by American songwriters Pam Sawyer and Lori Burton, "If I Had You Baby". It's the real band playing, though, on two solid soul numbers, Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee" and Bobby Bland's "Poverty", cut at Regent Sound in 1966 but unissued at the time. By 1967 Bernard Jory had replaced Mick Stannard in time for the explosive "Garden of My Mind", backed with the raucous Equals-style mover "Time to Start Loving You".

FLOODLIGHTS	From A View	LP	WOO ME	WOOME 011B-LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/8/2021 LP version. 180 gram vinyl; edition of 400. Edgy Antipodean indie-rock/jangle for fans of The Clean/Flying Nun/Rolling Blackouts/The Vaselines/Goon Sax/Go-Betweens. From A View is the debut album from Melbourne's Floodlights. From A View explores themes of identity, personal cross-roads and the misuse of power. The band's first exploration into proper studio recording with a well-regarded sound engineer. It was recorded over two days onto a 24-track tape machine at Head Gap studios in Preston in November. Floodlights are made up of members Louis Parsons, Ashlee Kehoe, Joe Draffen, and Archie Shannon. They present a distinctly Australian perspective, with a shambolic, catchy sound that melds '80s indie-rock rock with '90s New Zealand jangle-pop. Following a tour of Australia's East Coast in October 2019 the band began working on From A View. The songs were arranged and performed as a band, but often began from Louis or Ash presenting ideas to the group and building on them from there. The songs themselves were written over various points in the bands short career, yet come together very fittingly to show their distinct sound. Lead single "Thanks For Understanding" is about two lives going in different directions. It describes the complicated process of growing apart from someone, even though you still care for them. Nao Anzai (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever) engineered the album and then mixed it over the infamous Australian summer. Mikey Young (Total Control/Eddie Current) recently added the final touch with mastering.

TOTEM	Descarga	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 043LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/18/2020 Little Butterfly Records present a reissue of the second album by Totem, Descarga, originally released in 1972 and one of the most important bands in Uruguay's musical history. The Spanish word "descarga" in a literal sense can refer to several things: lighten charge (material or emotional), make a violent blow, fire a firearm, receive an electric shock, among others. But from 1972 Totem gives to "descarga" a soundful meaning, where it is possible to hear the protest of a country on the brink of collapse, the guitar riffs reminiscing to bands like El Kinto and the psychedelia with the smell of the sea invoked by the "lonjas". This album was the meeting of six pairs of hands tanned by jamming for long hours at night, which together temper and give personality to a style for export. For almost half a century these songs have rested placidly in the grooves of Descarga. Little Butterfly Records awakens them in a deluxe reissue, to put back in rotation an essential record of Uruguayan history and "descargar" once again the ancient sounds of the true Candombe beat. 140 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve with insert.

HECHT, DANIEL	Guitar	LP	MORNING TRIP	MORNING 007LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/18/2020 "There are few instruments more uniquely suited to capturing the beauty and ennui of the rural American midwest than the acoustic steel-string guitar. In the hands of a master, the range of evocable emotion and experience is truly limitless. Daniel Hecht is one such master. His 1973 self-released debut album, simply titled Guitar, is an indispensable piece of the endless puzzle that is instrumental Guitar Soli music. Guitar was written and recorded while Hecht was living and working on a commune in Madison, Wisconsin. In between harvesting his own food and studying the music of Andrés Segovia and Mississippi John Hurt, Hecht found himself playing host to legendary itinerant street performer, Moondog. On Moondog's insistent urging, Daniel decided to record some of his recent guitar compositions. Released on his own Dragon's Egg imprint, Guitar fused Hecht's complex classical preoccupations with his country folk influences. The album eventually found a fan with guitar godhead, John Fahey, who eventually helped land Hecht on the eminent new age/instrumental label, Windham Hill. As Hecht's playing and composition grew in complexity, he found peership with labelmates like Michael Hedges, William Ackerman, and Alex DeGrassi. But it is his debut album that remains the greatest document of Hecht's talent and ambition in first bloom. A rolling, blissful trip through rural America, guided by the ambitious hand of a guitar master. Morning Trip is elated to release this gorgeous and seminal document of acoustic exploration on vinyl for the first time since its initial 1973 offering."

75 DOLLAR BILL LITTLE BIG BAND	Live At Tubby's	2LP	GRAPEFRUIT	GY10 003LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/11/2020 "NYC's 75 Dollar Bill began its prolific career in 2012, after percussionist Rick Brown -- a veteran of the indie underground (Fish & Roses, Run On, V-Effect) -- and noise scene guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Che Chen -- connected via MySpace. Since that initial jam session, when Brown began experimenting with his signature plywood crate drum rhythms, they have released three LPs and a clutch of self-released cassette and digital releases. Last year's double album I Was Real received serious critical acclaim -- The Wire calling it 2019's Album of the Year. On their first live album, Live At Tubby's, 75 Dollar Bill assembled a unique 'little big band' [Sue Garner on bass, Cheryl Kingan on sax, Steve Maing on guitar, Jim Pugliese on percussion and Karen Waltuch on viola] for the small Kingston, NY club show. Recorded on the last day of their spring tour, the record puts a new perspective on themes from their body of work: a little more intimacy, a little more freedom, a little more controlled chaos. Brown's idiosyncratic rhythms are all the more hypnotizing in Tubby's cozy setting, and Chen's furious guitar work cuts and hums with sounds seemingly only attainable on stage. It's an album both challenging and immediate. The expanded 75 Dollar Bill's affinity for improvisation and the avant-garde even leads to a rousing take on the Ornette Coleman classic, 'Friends And Neighbors' that feels right at home in their own repertoire. The listener can't help but feel present and part of the communal joy and catharsis being shared here in this room. This performance at Tubby's turned out not only to be the last show of their tour, but the last show possible as the pandemic hit. Originally offered as a digital only release on 75 Dollar Bill's Bandcamp, Live At Tubby's now documents a highlight and closure of sorts; this kind of musical improvisation and community interaction being on hold for the foreseeable future. This double album on Grapefruit will have to tide everyone over until it can all happen again."
