VA	Barfuss in Scherben - Deutschpunk 1979-1986	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 620CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 To mark 50 years of punk, Ventil Verlag is publishing a song comic featuring outstanding tracks from the German punk scene. Tapete Records is accompanying this release with a compilation of early German-language punk, focusing on the years between 1979 and 1986 -- the years when the world was still coming to an end. With a total of 14 tracks, the compilation showcases just how exciting and diverse early German punk sounded. By the late seventies, punk had arrived in Germany, and more and more cities saw the emergence of bands, record stores, fanzines, labels, clubs, and scenes. Self-criticism followed close behind: as early as 1981, the liner notes to the compilation Paranoia in der Straßenbahn observed "negative tendencies" caused by punk's popularity and resulting dilution, and regarding 1983 they stated: "This year must be regarded as the end of the first great phase of punk in Germany. With few exceptions, fanzines, records, and concerts are no longer bringing anything new." Whether such sweeping criticism holds up in light of bands like Angeschissen, Die Goldenen Zitronen, EA80, or Mutter is another question, but this compilation nevertheless focuses on the early years of German-language punk. Featuring Der KFc, Fehlfarben, Östro 430, Slime, Rotzkotz, Bärchen und die Milchbubis, Brausepöter, Male, Schleim-Keim, S.Y.P.H., Hans-A-Plast, Torpedo Moskau, Der Moderne Man, and The Wirtschaftswunder.

VA	Listen Up! Roots Reggae (Green Vinyl)	LP	KINGSTON SOUNDS	KSLP 035G-LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Welcome to the roots reggae sound. A period in reggae's history that followed the two year supremacy of rocksteady, that began to tail off around the end of 1968. The reggae sound many say did not come initially from the chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the keyboard/organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some roots reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica. Featuring Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Cornell Campbell, Leroy Smart, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, and Delroy Wilson.

VA	Flying High: Chopper Productions 1985-1991	LP	DIGIKILLER	DKR 198LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A long overdue return to the Chopper label, after some singles from way back in 2010. This 12 song LP corrals all our favorites from the label. The album features a mix of early '80s style live rhythms laid at Channel 1 and some great classical late '80s digital style. Lionel Barrett was the original and perhaps the core artist of the Chopper stable, and is featured heavily here. A few of his tracks as well as a couple others here are now issued on vinyl for the first time. The remaining are retrieved from long out of press albums and singles. The jacket features a survey of all of Chopper's excellent graphic design. All told this LP is a great overview of a prolific JA-NYC connected label from dancehall's best era."

VA	Sir Tommy's Stars 1985-1990	LP	DIGIKILLER	DKR 351LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "10-song compilation LP. Comes with insert detailing full musician and studio credits. Howard 'Sir Tommy' Mapp is one of the original guards of New York sound men, playing sound system since 1974. Around a decade after that, he began producing for his newly formed label of the same name. Later in the 1990's he established his own studio, which became a hub of New York's dancehall scene. In true independent fashion, Tommy covered nearly every aspect of the reggae business himself, marking him firmly as a peer in the NYC scene with others who blazed a similar path, like Wackie's, Jah Life, and Philip Smart. This is the first reissue of the early gems in Tommy's catalog and makes some more classic New York reggae accessible again. So what better to start with than a new compilation, 100% heaters, culled from long unavailable singles and albums. This LP is packed with prime cuts of just such music. Absolutely essential stuff for 1980's reggae heads."

VA	Mzansi Bass	LP	TRA TRA TRAX	TRA 032LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Tra Tra Trax presents Mzansi Bass, curated by Shannen SP. A project meant to explore the space between 3-step, Gqom, the dark sides of Amapiano, and mutations of Pritori rap deeply rooted in Black African rave music from the local scenes of Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and their global mutations from Brazil and the Netherlands. The project is anchored around the legacy act of DJ Lag and new comers of South African bass whose music has broken international barriers with pure-emotionally-rich dance music. The release works as both a celebration of the roots and the future offering it projects. As Shannen puts it, it's electronic music with a futuristic feel, both raw but minimal, trance-inducing and deeply physical, built in a very particular geographic space for the whole world to enjoy. Indulge into this special soundscapes crafted by their own inhabitants. Featuring HENNYBELIT, State OFFF, LYZZA, Boniface, Jay Music, Deep Narratives, and Audio Addicts.

$20.50 LOW STOCK LEVEL First time on yellow vinyl. Welcome to the Rocksteady Sound from Jamaica.

VA	Sowas Von Egal 3: German Synth Wave Underground 1981-1986	CD	BUREAU B	BB 507CD
$16.50 IN STOCK With Sowas von Egal Vol 3, the Hamburg-based Damaged Goods DJ team continues its compilation series on Bureau B, once again turning its attention to the underground scenes of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the early 1980s. The selected tracks originate from a period in which, alongside the commercial Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), a number of innovative and often more abrasive bands and artists operated outside the mainstream. They combined influences from new wave, synthwave, post-punk, and the avant-garde with German lyrics -- and occasionally other languages -- releasing their music in very small editions on indie labels or entirely DIY. As a result, many of these records are now rare and highly sought after. The tracks emerged in a cultural climate strongly shaped by the rupture brought about by punk. Five years after the second installment, the search for hard-to-find artists and rights holders began again. Thanks to the cohesion and supportive network within the scene, it has once more been possible to assemble a carefully curated and lovingly compiled selection. As with the first two volumes, part three follows an approach closely aligned with the DJ repertoire of the Damaged Goods nights. The focus is on captivating, danceable, and catchy tracks. Songs that often reveal their full impact on first listen in a club setting. The aim is to make forgotten or hard-to-access pieces audible and available again. The artwork is once again by Biljana Tomic, drawing on an industrial-apocalyptic sensibility and referencing the iconic facades of Horten department stores, evoking a visual aesthetic of the 1980s. The sound has once again been carefully remastered by Tom Morgenstern. Sowas von Egal Vol 3 seamlessly continues the series and presents itself as a lovingly curated snapshot of a highly productive yet often overlooked phase in German, Austrian, and Swiss pop history. Featuring Guyer's Connection, Starter, Bergtraum, Die Shadocks, Isolierband, Bizarre Leidenschaft, Ziggy & Eno, André Szigethy, Zero Zero, JaJaJa, Ti-Tho, Vorgruppe, X-Beliebig, Trick 17, Die Egozentrischen 2, and Tommi Stumpff.

VA	Fifth Pipe Dream, Vol. 1	LP	GUERSSEN RECORDS	GUESS 262LP
$31.50 IN STOCK Pioneering compilation/concept album from 1968 featuring key psychedelic bands from San Francisco. A real fest of fuzzed-out psychedelia , garage and folk-rock. Conceived by legendary (and controversial) producer Matthew Katz, Fifth Pipe Dream Volume I is a groundbreaking psychedelic album from 1968 that blurs the line between compilation and concept record. Featuring a rotating cast of Katz's San Francisco Sound artists, it encapsulates the creativity and experimental spirit of the Bay Area at its lysergic peak. Rather than a traditional various-artists compilation, Fifth Pipe Dream was designed as a unified listening experience -- multiple bands contributing to a single, flowing psychedelic journey. At a time when this format was virtually unheard of, Katz assembled a genre-defying release that still feels ahead of its time. The album brings together key underground acts from the late '60s psychedelic scene from San Francisco. The album moves seamlessly across styles while maintaining a cohesive, trippy atmosphere. Released in November 1968 under Katz's San Francisco Sound imprint, the album reflects both the creative explosion -- and the business controversies -- of the era. Katz famously controlled band names and recordings, leading to miscredited tracks and ongoing legal disputes with artists like Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane. Despite (or because of) this, Fifth Pipe Dream stands as a fascinating snapshot of a scene in flux -- where artistic ambition, experimentation, and industry tensions collided. Though no follow-up volume ever appeared, Fifth Pipe Dream remains a cult cornerstone of the original San Francisco psychedelic era. Carefully remastered sound. Original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Four-panel color insert with detailed liner notes and photos/memorabilia. Featuring It's A Beautiful Day, San Francisco Sound House Band, Tripsichord Music Box, West Coast Natural Gas, and Black Swan.
