"A trip through the productions of pioneering genius Joe Meek. Here we have a mix of hits that have appeared on comps before and real out-there obscurities. Designed to be highly listenable. Never a dull moment amongst these songs that cover subjects close to Joes' heart such as vampires, love (and the lack of it), death, outer space, the human soul, Buddy Holly, and more. Artists featured are The Blue Rondos, The Blue Men, Jason Eddie and the Centremen, The Sound Offs, The Moontrekkers, Johnny Leyton, The Cryin' Shames, Mike Berry, The Outlaws, Chick Lewis, Glenda Collins and even Joe himself warbling out a tune. One time very small pressing so please don't sleep."

"At last! A new LP by Portland's own Ural Thomas and the Pain! Ural has been working hard since the late 1950's making soul music. This LP is a showcase for his new band, the Pain, as well as an overview of his storied career. Record A features Ural and the Pain ripping through some of their best material. A full tight soul band, in the tradition, backing up a truly great soul singer with his powers still intact. Record B features a career overview of Ural's work - from the early 1960's through to 1970. Rocking R & B, soulful ballads, and an 'experimental' track. Also included is a booklet with archival photos and a long interview with Ural wherein he touches on his times opening for Otis Redding and James Brown, working in the Portland community, building a house out of things he dragged out of the Willamette River and much more. Very limited edition of this LP. 950 available worldwide. Gatefold old school 'tip on' cover with a booklet. One of Portland's most beloved live bands LP premiere."

"Steeped deep in the roots of garage rock, Peter's third solo record rolls out strong. Some dark and personal lyrics and some heavy vibes preside....but overall - it's rock and roll. Features musicians from all kinds of beloved bands and lineages. (Scott McCaughey, Bill Rieflin, Kurt Bloch, Chris Slusarenko, Kris Novoselic, Jeff Tweedy, Annalisa Tornfelt, Chloe Johnson, Kristin Tornfelt.....yep). Record comes in two different cover editions - both designed by none other than Mingering Mike - maybe the greatest album cover designer of all time! (the majority of his artwork was recently bought in whole by the Smithsonian). Comes with liner note insert."

"Lum Guffin has been called 'The Walking Victrola' -- a human depository of many musical styles and songs. This LP features great performances recorded in the early 1970's of Lum playing guitar and singing. His style is distinctive and beautiful. A true great of the blues genre who has been seldom heard. We are proud to present this beautiful limited edition of his material with a silk screened cover (4 different color variations have been made -- you will get a random selection when ordering). A co-release with the king of blues reissues label, Sutro Park."

"A truly unique Gospel stylist, Isaiah Owens plays guitar and sings in his own very distinctive and otherworldly way. Isaiah plays loud and with quite a bit of dissonance, his voice floating above beautifully. This LP features some of his finest performances, captured from his radio broadcasts in Montgomery Alabama and from studio recordings. We are very proud to present this material. Liner notes by Kevin Knutt (of the greatest radio show of all time, Sinners Crossroads, as well as the Case Quarter label)."

"Contemporary art rock band. A strange mix of minimalism, catchy pop music and damage. Sun Foot are a true underground band worthy of recognition. The drums suggest a drone and simplicity somewhere between Bo Diddley and Tibetan music. The angular guitar and bass are somehow easy to listen to and... dare I say... fun. This LP is a distillation of Sun Foot's song catalog -- a 'greatest hits' of sorts and nice introduction to their progressive world. Recorded and produced by none other than Joe Goldring (of The Enablers and producer of many San Francisco bands) at Coast Studios. Album cover designed with heavy art contribution by David King, designer of the iconic CRASS symbol. Ron Burns (formally of Smog, Hot Spit Dancers), Chris Johanson (visual artist, formerly of San Francisco's Deep Throats) and Brian Mumford (Dragging an Ox through Water, Jackie-O Motherfucker) make up Sun Foot. Co release with Awsome Vistas."

"Twelve great songs recorded by two of Cajun music's finest and most unusual artists: Blind Uncle Gaspard and Delma Lachney. All songs originally released on 78 in the late 1920s. Fragile and dignified performances with French vocals accompanied by guitar or fiddle, or sometimes both. Impeccable ballads and breakdowns. Old school 'tip on' cover."

"Dragging an Ox Through Water is Portland musician Brian Mumford - a beloved and legendary local talent. Brian plays a brand of music uniquely his own: a weird mix of rock-solid song writing with guitar accompaniment and music concrete. His voice is deep and heavy. Panic Sentry is a pretty melancholy record, but never with a dull moment. We at Mississippi Records are very proud of this LP and consider it a contemporary classic. Includes a liner note insert. A co-release with our friends Eggy Records."

Repressed! "By popular demand, a repress of Peter's debut solo LP. This version is the same as before but the track 'L.V.M.F' has been removed. First solo LP by none other than former REM guitarist Peter Buck. Believe it or not, released on vinyl only by Mississippi Records (no CD or download available anywhere), and it gets weirder. This LP was cut pure analogue -- straight from tape to disc. A real old fashioned freak out record filled with Stooges like crunchy guitar riffs, strange atmospheric sounds, far out dark lyrics, and some catchy pop hooks here and there. Peter and various friends you've probably heard of, gathered at Type Foundry Studio here in Portland and laid out this record fast and furious. A real madcap journey of a record put together with nothing but love and a sense of immediacy."
