LP version. The shuffle rhythm that was born from the American rhythm and blues tunes that hit Jamaica in the 1950s would soon fuse under its Jamaican influence and find an emphasis on the second and fourth bars of the beat. This off-beat would create the ska sound and no fine exponent of this in the sounds early days was Theo Beckford. Theophilus "Easy Snapping" Beckford (born 1935, Kingston, Jamaica) began his musical career in the mid '50s and had after only two years mastered his instrument of choice the piano. His first hit for Coxonne Dodd's Worldisc label was the classic "Easy Snapping." He had created his own laid-back style that simply rolled off his piano and his musical arrangements became the backbone of so many early ska tunes. His services were soon in demand with not only Coxonne Dodd but all the other top flight producers of the time, Duke Reed, Beverley's, Prince Buster, and Clancy Eccles. His session work alongside his playing as part of the big group of the time Clue J and His Blues Blasters, that would eventually morph into the legendary Skatalites, meant that his fingers were truly on the musical pulse of the time. Kingston Sounds have compiled some great early ska cuts for this release that have been touched with the T. Beckford magic. Some of his own classic hits "Flip,Flop and Fly" (aka "Walking Down King Street"), "Mr Downpressor" the fantastic "Don't Have a Ticket Don't Worry." His poignant duo of "Grudgeful People" and "Ungrateful People" and two other timeless tracks "What A Woe" and "Boilerman." Alongside some of his productions for some of the other long-forgotten heroes of the early ska sound. Basil Gabiddon's "Streets of Glory," Frank Cosmo's "On Your Knees," Shenley and Annette's "Now Your Gone" and Daniel Johnson's uplifting "Come On My People." A mighty fine set of early ska tunes fighting their way out of Kingston Town and into your hearts.

RELEASE DATE: 4/4/2025
Yearly compilation series Radar Keroxen return with its fifth volume of themed based albums showcasing the talents and misfortunes of carefully selected musical projects based or connected with the Canary Islands. With its first volume released in 2020 aiming to introduce and divulge adventurous Island based music, the Keroxen imprint now presents Vol. 5 with a collection of tracks born out of an in-situ collective performance at the Keroxen Festival iconic venue -- a massive disused gasoline tank near the harbor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The Radar Drone Ensemble, as it was named for that night only, took advantage of the tank's natural reverb to perform an improvised piece exploring the cavernous resonance corners inherent to the locale. The four artists then took a few months to compose a nine-track LP inspired by the site's peculiar sound. Gonçalo F. Cardoso opens up the proceedings with two broody new tracks, in a style not heard since his 2015 album A Study of 21st Century Drone Acoustics. Doomed and menacing atmospherics brush shoulders with creepy and ethereal chants creating the perfect opening for this drone themed edition of Radar Keroxen. Eduardo Briganty (also from MINIATURa) follows with two equally deranged feedback-based compositions letting his guitar riffs and distortions roam free. Afgan aka Mladen Kurajica (from GAF, Lagoss and Tupperwear) takes things further to an Angus MacLise-inspired drone collage of mystic percussions, field recordings and electronic modular storms. Resonance aka Javier Perez wraps up the journey with his now trademark soothing synth compositions full of warm tones and blissful melodies. The album comes, as always, wrapped into a dizzying post-tropical collage artwork by Pura Marquez.

Way back in 1962, all roads led to Dartford in Kent when a coming together of influences would result in the formation of the world's greatest rock and roll band, The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger, the singer, and Keith Richards, lead guitarist, were both fans of early rockers Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, whilst rhythm guitarist and harmonica player Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart would be immersed in the blues that were coming from Chicago, the same influences would bring the original bassist Dick Taylor and drummer Tony Chapman to the party. Featuring Muddy Waters, Gene Allison, Walter Brown, Boogaloo And The Gallant Crew, Tampa Red, Big Bill Broonzy, Jimmy Reed, Will Bradley, The King Cole Trio, and Robert Johnson.

Limited to 500 copies! 15 bonus tracks! 12-page booklet! In mid-2019 Stag-O-Lee started a collaboration with Fedor, a collector and hunter from Amsterdam who dedicates his spare time to obscure and forgotten vinyl treasures from the '50s and early '60s. The original 45s come from Fedor's impressive collection, who has spent the last 25 years rummaging through thousands of crates of second-hand vinyl at flea markets in the Dutch metropolis. So far, six 10"s have been released, all organized thematically. Vol. 1: Wild Safari, for example, offered 12 exotic rarities on vinyl. These 12 tracks can now be found on this CD, but with the addition of 15 (yes, fifteen) bonus tracks. So 27 tracks in total. Fedor has also conjured up a great 12-page booklet and written an explanatory text for each song. Featuring Perez And Brana, Champ Butler And Charley Raye Sextet, Carlos Campos Y Su Orquesta, Alfredito And His Orchestra, The Fabulous Pearls, The La Bombas, The Royals, Ilo Kay And His Trio, Harry Laurelle, Joe Conwright And His Mighty Men, The Don Schraier Rocktet, Jean Wright Y Los Cinco Amigos, Los Chavales De España, Everett Mills, Harmaniacs, The Fortunes, Xavier Cugat, Henry Segers, Humberto Morales, Alfredito And His Orchestra, Hrach Yacoubian, Versa-Tones, The Four Sharps, The Royals, Islanders, Enchanters, Pepper Pots, and Glenrays.

RELEASE DATE: 3/28/2025
Originally released in 2022. Over many backbreaking and expensive months in 2020, the beating heart of ATA records was stripped, monolithic bits of kit were pulled from dusty corners and into the light to learn their fate: resettlement in the new ATA or sold off, to pay for the studio's rejuvenation. Tough decisions were made but the end product was worth the sacrifice. ATA now has natural light, some very swish carpeting, new soundproofing and even a sofa, surprisingly tasteful, in the, now, spacious, control room. No more sitting on rickety stools and balancing a coffee on your knee. Once the studio began to take shape again and Neil Innes was finally able to take a breath he began rooting through the label's archives, pulling out reels that had been propping up tables, holding open doors and generally lurking in nooks and crannies for years. It didn't take long for Neil to realize how special some of these snippets of the past were, especially some of the vocal outings with his former Love of the Brave band mate Fuzzy Jones. As he wandered down memory lane he started to pair some of these rediscovered treasures with tracks by more recent artists, such as The Magnificent Tape Band and The Sorcerers, and the compilation began to take shape. Studio favorites The Mandatory Eight make another appearance, as do Ivan Von Engleberger's Asteroid. There is finally an opportunity to own "Bang Bang Boogaloo" by The Joe Tatton Trio on vinyl, a stone cold mover that only came out on 7". Also included is a track by long-time ATA collaborator Chris Dawkins, an artist Neil is effusive about. In this particular case Chris is recording under the name Earl Dawkins, a conscious move to separate his jazz output from his other work. As ATA studio moved into its next phase it seemed only fitting to celebrate the music birthed from the early days of its first incarnation. Old music to celebrate a new dawn. Also featuring The Harmony Society and The Disarrays.

Rock and rock roots, deep down under? You'd better believe it! The roots of Australian rockers AC/DC lie in the whirlwind of original fifties rock and roll. In the early days the group would cut their teeth on the club circuit with a live set that would include a handful of band originals, a few Rolling Stones numbers plus many crowd-pleasing rock and roll classics. The Sydney club and bar scene was rough so you had to get the punters on your side. With their original singer Dave Evans at the helm the group who play residencies at the likes of the New Hampton Court Hotel in Sydney entertaining with their own brand of loud guitar takes of "Carol" and "Bye Bye Johnny" by Chuck Berry, "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard, as well as rocking standards like "Shake, rattle and roll" and "Blue Suede Shoes." Cranking out cover versions didn't die even when the group composed more original material, a version of "School Days" by Chuck Berry would appear on their second album TNT, whilst "Baby Please Don't Go" would be pulled from their original 1975 debut album High Voltage and issued as a single in America. These roots are the reason that AC/DC have become one of the best loved bands on the planet who never fail to deliver the goods every time. Featuring Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Arthur Crudup, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Muddy Waters, and Big Joe Turner.

The Doors, Californian kings of psychedelic-blues rock, not only stood heads and shoulders above the peace and love hippy explosion of the sixties, but they were also proud to wear their influences on their sleeves by forwarding to the future by reconstructing the past. The early live shows of the band performed in 1967 at the likes of the legendary Matrix Club in San Francisco would feature the group playing two sets, both featuring a mix of band originals and blues covers done The Doors way. Material such as "I'm a King Bee" by Slim Harpo, "Who do you Love" by Bo Diddley, "Money (Thats what I want)" by Barrett Strong (a song that would stay in the live set for the duration of the bands life) and at The Winterland Ballroom over the Christmas festivities, "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters were rolled out to an adoring local fanbase. The classic "Backdoor Man" by Howlin Wolf would also find a place on the group's debut album. With all of the members of The Doors being long time blues fans more material was being worked up during rehearsals and added to the live shows along with new songs from The Doors forthcoming albums. The Doors walked it like they talked it and sadly listeners will never see the likes of them again. A wonderful mixture of blues and psychedelic rock, they proved that in order to meet the future you must never forget the past. Also featuring Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, and Richard Berry.

Stag-O-Lee presents part seven of the extremely successful Trashcan Records series, which is dedicated to obscure and forgotten vinyl treasures from the '50s and early '60s. The original 45s come from the impressive collection of Fedor, a collector and hunter from Amsterdam, who has rummaged through thousands of boxes of used vinyl at flea markets in the Dutch metropolis over the last 25 years. As usual, this release is structured thematically. Side 1 is entitled "Wacky Weirdos" and is a hodgepodge of obscure weirdness that, on the one hand, puts a smile on your face and, on the other hand, raises the question of what was allowed to be pressed onto small vinyl in these days. Side 2 is exactly what "Moody Instros" says. Instrumentals between mod jazz and rhythm and blues, from lo-fi spooky to gentle crawlers. Of course everything is mega and can't be found on any of the numerous other compilations to date. Featuring The Sound Offs, The Commanders, Angeline & Hawaii's Teen Towners, Dave S. Trio, John Bean, Mr Glob, Tony Martell, Neil Darrow, The Escapades, Mike Murray, Pearl Reaves & Paul Farano Trio, and The Desert Rats.

This is the second volume in the new Voodoo Mambosis And Other Tropical Diseases series on Stag-O-Lee. Four volumes are planned. The original records come from the record box of esteemed friend Duke Jens-O-Matic, who has been a graphic designer, internationally acclaimed DJ, collector and hunter for decades. What does a friend of the obscure 7"es do when he already has everything in the field of Rhythm and Blues etc.? He is looking for other fields of activity. Different countries, different music, different influences. So does Jens-O-Matic. He made a little trip around the world here, let his new love of cumbia flow in, mixed in a pinch of voodoo, reactivated some old blues heroes, plus some exotica -- it never hurts. The great art is to combine these on paper disparate elements in such a way that something unique and consistently exciting is created. Voodoo Mambosis And Other Tropical Diseases is the best example of this! Featuring Pedro Laya, Buddy Ace, Elena Madera, Muddy Waters, Tamps Red, Noro Morales, Sylvestre Mendes, Katherine Durham, The Sultans, Machito, King Eric, Lina De Lima, Billy Mure, and Joe Swift.

Available for the first time outside USSR, Soviet composers perform their works on the legendary ANS synthesizer. Recorded in 1969, Электронная Музыка АНС (ANS Electronic Music) features six tracks of experiments on the unique machine by: Eduard Artemiev, Stanislav Kreitchi, Sándor Kallós, and Alexander Nemtin. A "musical" machine unlike any other with a long-fascinated cutting edge, modern electronic composers, notably Coil and The Anti Group Communications (TAGC)/Clock DVA, that have both released recordings utilizing the ANS. Try to imagine a score sounding by itself without a conductor; an orchestra without musical instruments. This magic is possible by using the musical ANS synthesizer. Created by Soviet scientist Evgeny Murzin over the course of 20 years, ANS is an instrument with which a composer can not only create but also draw their music without notes. You can see the twinkling of different lamps, the rotation of grooved glass discs, etc. The drawings on the glass are "sounding notes." To listen to the drawn picture, press the button and a wonderful transformation will begin. Inside the ANS are five rotating glass discs with 144 tones printed (by hand) on each one. Light is projected through the discs and onto photovoltaic cellbank which converts the light into electricity and sends signals to the ANS's amplifiers and bandpass filters. The ANS can generate 720 tones this way and, unlike a human musician, play them all at the same time. Murzin dedicated his photoelectronic apparatus to Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin, hence the name ANS. Scriabin, the creator of the "Poem of Ecstasy," and a famous explorer of synesthesia, used in his works a highly chromatic, new type of harmonic style designed to express his beliefs, views and wishes. Soviet music lovers will already know recordings made on ANS from Tarkovsky's films Solaris, The Mirror, and Stalker, Konchalovsky's film Siberiade, and others. Presented in a digipak with the new artwork by Abby Helasdottir, complimenting the ANS process perfectly. Officially licensed from Russian state label Melodiya.

Wewantsounds presents the release of Sweet Rebels: The Golden Era of Algerian Pop-Raï, selected in Paris by Cheb Gero. The set features the raw energy of the Algerian Raï scene from the '80s and early '90s and its young stars Cheb Zahouani, Chaba Zohra, and Abderrahmane Djalti. Newly remastered and including liner notes from Raï authority Rabah Mezouane, the compilation brings together eight cassette tracks from the electrifying period when Raï music was evolving from a more traditional sound to the mesmerizing electro funk sound of the '80s. Raï music was born in the seedy parts of Oran, the port city north-west of Algeria, during the 20th century. Mixing elements of Arabic music and western influences, the music was raw and urban emanating from the cabarets and nightclubs of the city. Mainly performed by female singers such as Cheikha Rimitti and Cheikha Djenia, Raï songs would talk about love and social hardship in direct and often crude ways. The style evolved after the war and it was revolutionized in the 1980s by a new wave of singers who infused their sound with synthesizers and drum machines to instill tough messages of youth rebellion, political criticism, and heartbreak. Mainly released on cassette by street vendors in Algeria during the '80s, Rai rapidly spread among the youth. It became a phenomenon which soon spread beyond North Africa, led by the crossover success of Cheb Khaled. Sweet Rebels gives an insight into the genre's ecstatic electro sound, showcasing a unique cultural moment, where creativity and resistance connected to form a vibrant trend. Compiled by DJ Cheb Gero, Sweet Rebels includes cult, sought-after tracks released on cassette by the label Oriental Music Production and features the best exponents of the genre, such as Cheikha Djenia El K'bira, Cheb Zahouani, Cheb Abdelhak, Chaba Amina, and Chaba Zohra. Most of the tracks here make their vinyl debut and Wewantsounds -- following its releases from Lebanon and Egypt, is delighted to continues its exploration of Arabic music by digging into the fascinating Algerian Raï heritage.
