"Time of the Last Persecution is Bill Fay's second and final album for the Deram label, originally released in 1971. An absolute classic of melancholy (borderline morbid) folk-rock that falls somewhere between Pearls Before Swine, Leonard Cohen, and a suicide prevention hotline. Time of the Last Persecution is almost single-mindedly obsessed with end times so it's fitting that this brilliant album would be his last release for over 30 years. Now that Fay is back with a new and highly lauded album, it's high time that his classic, definitive statement, is available again on 180 gram vinyl."

Repressed. "London singer-songwriter Bill Fay released two albums on the Deram label in the early '70s and promptly disappeared into relative obscurity for 30+ years. In the last 10 years or so those albums have finally begun to get the recognition they deserve, and 4 Men with Beards is proud to be able to bring them back into circulation on 180 gram LP. First up is the self-titled debut from 1970, an absolute classic of British folk-rock."

"Just As I Am is the 1971 debut of soul legend, Bill Withers. Produced by Booker T. Jones, and featuring backing from L.A. stalwarts Jim Keltner, Chris Ethridge, and Stephen Stills, Just As I Am features the outright, stone cold, classic 'Ain't No Sunshine' along with other, lesser known, but equally powerful tracks such as 'Grandma's Hands' and 'Better Off Dead.' A very, very, heavy and powerful debut from one of soul music's greatest songwriters. Reissued here on 180 gram vinyl in a deluxe tip-on jacket."

"Still Bill is the second studio album from Bill Wither, originally released in 1972 and featuring the mega-hit 'Lean On Me' (the first track ever to reach number one on the soul chart and the Billboard Hot 100). Featuring members of the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band, Still Bill also features the funky classic, 'Use Me,' amongst a handful of other powerful songwriting and performance efforts. Possibly Withers' finest album from start to finish. Reissued here on 180 gram vinyl with a reproduction of the original bi-fold sleeve."

"Originally released in 1971, the follow-up to the massive success of Shaft, the double LP Black Moses was one of Hayes's personal favorites. Black Moses was heavily sampled in the hip-hop community and features some of his best cover versions (Jackson 5, Carpenters, Dionne Warwick). As usual, he makes those hits all his own. It's reissued here on 180 gram vinyl and, for the first time, with an exact reproduction of the original custom fold out cover. A classic."

"The Voice of the Turtle is one of the most beguiling albums from one of America's most legendarily beguiling musicians. Originally released in 1968 on his own Takoma label, Fahey credits some of the compositions and performances to the fictional guitarist Blind Joe Death, and some of the songs are actually rumored to not be Fahey at all but in fact obscure blues 78s. Whatever the case may be, it's one of Fahey's most adventurous and beautiful LPs. Reissued here on 180 gram vinyl in a deluxe tip-on jacket with an exact replica of the original 12 page booklet."

On 180 gram vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. "Joy of a Toy is the debut solo album from the bassist and principal songwriter of the Soft Machine, originally released in 1969 by Harvest. With Ayers playing an impressive list of instruments and band mate Robert Wyatt on drums for most of the songs, many of the tracks recall early Soft Machine, and feature Ayers prog-pop songwriting sensibilities in full force."

180 gram vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. "Originally released on Fantasy in 1973, documenting their Mardi Gras tour, this double LP showcases Creedence as power trio, after the resignation of Tom Fogerty. Unfairly maligned in the past, Live in Europe documents John Fogerty and company at their unhinged best, ripping through a catalog of their greatest hits."
