Perpignan Burning: the Southern French capital of garage rock in search of the riff. Or as Lou Reed would put it: "You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums." Content: 27 previously unreleased tracks on double LP. All tracks on this compilation were recorded in or around Perpignan, France, and go to the musical extremes of an extreme city. Whether garage punks or freakbeat mods, country punks or city rockers, whether pioneers or new to the scene: the only thing that counts is the riff. Pascal Comelade, infamous riff explorer since the 1970s, is the unlikely godfather of this bunch of punks and rockers. He opens the trip with his emblematic cover design and closes it with his own Riffifi orchestra to the ultimate riff of The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog." Featuring Le GORI, Johnny Tramuntana, Ghost Twist, The Hands, Henry, Yegg, Radiola, Jeune Senior Weekend, Monsieur Paul Et Les Solutions, No Cunt Act, Santa Maria Death Trip, The Madcap Dreams, The In-Fuzzed, Sea Urchin, L'Avant Garde, Dino Karper & The Shale, Lonely Nana, Lost Station, Minerves, Hugo Riché, Fuckboy, The Nothing, Lords of Wags, L'Impasse Humaniste, Les Crotales, and Mammoüth.

Formed in Perpignan in the south of France in 2019, Minerves emerge with the furious longing to reshape the sound landscapes of a certain adolescence that received the bursts of Velvet Underground, the mysterious revelations of the early Pixies, and the tormented verses of Sonic Youth. Nurtured by pop psych garage and '90s post punk, the four Minerves wake up at dusk and attempt a naive, nocturnal and hungry topology of rock and roll. Produced by Briane Santo B., the tireless preacher of Perpignan garage, Minerves' first eponymous album is released by Staubgold and its French subsidiary Cougouyou Music.

On occasion of its 25th anniversary, Staubgold presents Velvet Serenade. Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and French maverick Pascal Comelade relive The Velvet Underground -- a non-nostalgic reinvention of a musical legacy that takes an influential past into the future. For the world premiere of his latest book Linger On: The Velvet Underground -- published by Eva and Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Library -- Catalan music journalist Ignacio Julià wanted to relive the New York band's original dynamics, that creative friction between an American noise-guitar player and poet, Lou Reed, and a radical, lyrical European pianist and songwriter, John Cale. Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and French maverick Pascal Comelade accepted the challenge and the concert took place in Banyoles, Catalonia, on April 28, 2022, as a non-nostalgic reinvention of a musical legacy that takes an influential past into the future. Comelade and Ranaldo met for the first time the same day the piece was created from scratch, at Banyoles' Auditori del Ateneu, and after a few try-outs, magic happened right away. Local drummer Ramon Prats joined in easily and the three constructed what Ignacio Julià had asked for, not a tribute concert made of more or less faithful covers, but a new thing. Pascal came with a clear idea of the songs and laid them down with his minimalist, personal style at the grand piano and small keyboard, Lee painted -- with guitars, acoustic and electric, used as cellos sometimes, and weird percussion -- the wide palette of emotions these classic songs carry. After months of imagining it, here it was, a fully realized Velvet Serenade. Spontaneous, vibrant and true to the band's spirit.
"See, I believe in giving back. I might be the only writer that has interviewed all The Velvet Underground's members through the years, from 1978 to 2022, and all those conversations, articles and experiences are now collected in Linger On: The Velvet Underground, a book that I hope will be shared by next generations. This Banyoles, Girona, concert was another way of giving back what the band and its members had given me since the mid-seventies, not just great art in the form of rock'n'roll at its most deep and challenging, but an outlook on life and everything else, an invitation to seek the beauty in truth and try to understand human behavior." --Ignacio Julià (Banyoles, December 2022)

Reissue, originally released in 1985. The Lo Yo Yo's only album from 1985 for the first time reissued on vinyl. Featuring Mick Hobbs (The Work, Half Japanese) and Alig Fodder (Family Fodder), produced by Charles Bullen (This Heat). The Lo Yo Yo was founded in 1984 by Family Fodder's John Pearce, aka Alig Fodder. They were active for two years and released one cassette, one split cassette with French band Look De Bouk and one full-length LP. The Lo Yo Yo's line-up went through changes over its whole lifetime, but with some constants --most notably singer Joey Stack and drummer Carrie Brooks. Charles Bullen of This Heat occasionally played drums with Family Fodder and produced The Lo Yo Yo's LP Extra Weapons in 1985. Alig says "It was impossible not to get together. In this era it was quasi compulsory to get a band together with your mates. It was normal to be left-wing, inclusive, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic and in opposition. And to form a band, with or without experience. It started as a rhythm section: Carrie on drums and myself on bass. She brought a mate along (Joey Stack) and so did I (Mick Hobbs)." Pearce's punchy bass playing and Carrie Brooks's hard-hitting drumming form the backbone of The Lo Yo Yo sound, with Jo's singing and keyboard sitting firmly on top. It was made complete with Mick Hobbs on guitar and percussion, and the addition of cellist Annie Hunt. Edition of 500.

Founded in 2010, on the ashes of Los Santos, an ultra-local band well recognized by the veterans of the Perpignan scene, The Hands is a quartet with its roots as much in the modern garage scene of the mid-2000s (like Jack Of Heart, Movie Star Junkies, or The Intelligence) as in more classic groups such as the Gun Club, Joy Division or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. After two self-produced albums, On The Words (2014) and We Are Other Men (2016) and a few European tours, their third album, Reflections, finally arrives in 2022 after six years of absence. Recorded by their friend Renaud Picard (Crank, Hair & The Iotas), mixed by Briane Blanc (the band's singer) and mastered by Luis Mazzoni at Vintage Sound Studio, this third album is perhaps their mostly anticipated and surely their best so far. Alternating between heady tracks like "Thanks" or "In The Middle" and softer songs like "We Are So Lame" and "Seven Years", the group reveals their real identity throughout the ten songs of this album. As always self-produced for their own label Broken Arm Records, Reflections will be released in collaboration with Staubgold and Cougouyou Music.

A hidden gem from the notorious Nurse With Wound list! This double-LP features Heratius' studio album Les Boniments (1979) -- never before released on vinyl -- and the first ever vinyl reissue of Gwendolyne (1978). Heratius could be described as like a mix of Etron Fou Leloublan and Faust (in acoustic mode that is), with hints of Albert Marcoeur, Red Noise, in a music that is full of invention with typically French eccentric touches. The Heratius album Gwendolyne was also much touted by Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow fame) at the time as the "French Faust". Edition of 500.

Back for the second volume of Back from the Canigó! In the same spirit as Back from the Grave, Staubgold's goal is to look back at what happened in the South of France near Perpignan at the beginning of the 21st century. As you can hear it in the first volume (STAUB 152LP, 2020), the city of Perpignan (and its region, Northern Catalonia) has been a strong place for underground rock n' roll for many years. In the '90s, there were a lot of garage bands and an important mods community. These guys created a spirit in the city that's still present today. This volume showcases the new bands created by Perpignan's city rockers and the country punks from the nearby villages. Bands like Les Gardiens du Canigou, The Ugly Things, The Likyds, The Toxic Farmers, The Vox Men, The Feedback, heard on the first compilation, spawned plenty of new formations. This time the scene has its own labels -- Nasty Products and Profet Record are two of them. It has never been easier to record music and put it on vinyl. There are live venues all over the city. The beginning of the internet also made life easier, even when you're in a town in the South of France near the Spanish border and the Mediterranean. The Sonic Chicken 4 were signed by In the Red and Trouble in Mind. Parisian labels were also interested in the work of bands from Perpignan. The Hushpuppies, ex-Likyds, go to the capital and are signed by Diamondtraxx. They're certainly the best-known band of that era with their hit "You're Gonna Say Yeah", featured on Guitar Hero and in several commercial ads. Boosted by international touring, Catalan bands make their way into the world. The Fatals go on tour in Italy and Canada. The Sonic Chicken 4 are booked for a US tour while Jack Of Heart, signed on Born Bad, play all over Europe. The whole world listens. This is the story told by our compilation. Just put the needle on the record and let the music do the talking... Cover artwork by Pascal Comelade.
Features Jack Of Heart, Les Bellas, Sonic Chicken 4, El Vicio, Pablo Escobar's Sons, Destination Lonely, Migas Valdes, The Mighty Go-Go Players, Hair And The Iotas, T. Time Fantasy, Ultralove, Hushpuppies, White Ni***rs, Men In The Moon, Crank, The Fatals, Zoo Trash, Kung Fu Escalator, Circles, and Los Santos.

The debut album by Perpignan's finest, featuring Pascal Comelade on piano. The Llamps' members met each other in the surroundings of Perpignan a few years ago. Moved by The Velvet Underground, Ennio Morricone, Noir Desir, and L'Agram, the four of them created an alliance between heritage and modernity, pop and hip-hop, country and psychedelics, all of it in Catalan, French and English. Their mysterious universe acquires its full dimension live, where salvage poetry and the band's energy mingle and brew. After their first two 7"s, The Llamps present their self-titled debut. Throughout its 12 tracks, the eponymous album is unrepentant in combining the different musical cultures of this atypical group. It is a resolutely modern version of '60s garage rock: simultaneously psychedelic and acidic, it introduces the listener to a sombre and poetic universe of fuzz guitars, tortured keyboards, bursting trumpets and tattered pianos, while a beguiling female voice sings in English, French or Catalan. The Llamps, a fruit of the communal imagination of the four members of the group and their environment of musician and artist friends -- of which Pascal Comelade is the common thread -- resounds as a testimony of our times: equally fragile and full of splendor.

First ever reissue of Alternative TV's Action Time Vision, compiled in 1980 and featuring the group's 7-inches from 1977 to 1979. Including bonus track "You Bastard" and new liner notes by ATV singer Mark Perry, the founding editor of punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue. What Mark Perry says: "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Punk turned my world upside down! In July 1976, after hearing and seeing the Ramones, I went from just another music fan, avid reader of the NME and Melody Maker, to become editor of punk's premier fanzine, Sniffin' Glue. It was almost an instant success and by December 1976, through our no-nonsense approach, our position as the 'punk Bible' was assured. But it was never enough for me. As I saw the initial punk explosion subside into a succession of third-rate copycats, I wanted to have a go myself. My first attempt at forming a band was in late '76. We called ourselves the 'New Beatles' and it ended after a couple of rehearsals. It wasn't until I met guitarist Alex Fergusson, a mate of Sounds writer Sandy Robertson, in early 1977, that I started putting together some more interesting ideas for a band. I worked on a bunch of lyrics and, pretty quickly, Alex had put tunes to them. Eventually calling ourselves Alternative TV, we had our first rehearsals at Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Studios in March '77. That initial line-up was just me singing and Alex on guitar, with Genesis P-Orridge helping out on some bass and drums. We did ask Gen to join fulltime, but he decided against it and stuck with Throbbing Gristle. After more rehearsals, we played our first gig at the Nottingham Punk Festival in May 1977, joined by Mick Smith on bass and John Towe (ex-Generation X) on drums. I started thinking about doing a record almost from the start because, by this time, I was running the Step Forward record label with Miles Copeland, who was also to become the band's manager. It seemed like a natural move to put out my own record, but it instead ended up on Deptford Fun City, another of Miles' labels. Before that actually happened, we made a slight detour by recording a demo for EMI. They didn't want to sign us, but we did end up with the tapes..." White vinyl; edition of 500.

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.

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.

First-ever reissue of Vivien Goldman's legendary Launderette 7", produced with Adrian Sherwood and Public Image Limited's John Lydon and Keith Levene in 1981. The contrast between Vivien's high, lilting tones and the deep rumble of the bass is a hallmark of all Goldman's work, giving a haunting frisson of sex and alienation to songs like "Launderette", which was produced with PiL's John Lydon and Keith Levene. Vivien knew John as a fellow reggae fanatic, and he let her use PiL's studio down time to cut "Launderette", a song she had improvised over a bass line by Aswad's George "Levi" Oban. Bass is also the foundation of the angry anthem "Private Armies", a favorite of Rock Against Racism, here available in its long album version. "Girls love bass," Goldman says. "It's the yang to our yin. Women really respond to the depth and grounding of bass." Limited one-off pressing of 500.

2021 restock. The Limiñanas have been international stars since 2010. A few years earlier, The Hushpuppies were in the spotlight. Two groups from North Catalunya who have written some of the most beautiful pages of French rock thanks to their garage and neo-sixties style. Two groups born from the flourishing sixties style punk and mod scene of the 1990s in Perpignan. Back from the Canigó explores that decade, which saw the emergence of more than twenty groups from different scenes that were to fuse together in the end. Through more than thirty tracks, many of which are released here for the first time, this album brings to light the pioneering work of Les Gardiens du Canigou and of The Ugly Things, as well as eleven other groups who make worthy heirs to the former: The Beach Bitches, Uguet 68, The Feedback, Les Buissons, The Likyds, The Lazy Sundays, The Vox Men, The Lightning Circus Band And The Boom Boom Beat, Human Potatoes, The Rippers, Psiquàtric Xaïs. From savage garage revival to sixties punk, from mid-sixties freakbeat to more psychedelic sounds, Back from the Canigó amplifies the echoes of a town turned into the French capital of these underground genres. These are the beginnings of a still active garage scene that, a few years later, would see the emergence of groups such as Les Bellas, The Sonic Chicken 4, Gaz Gaz, Les Fatals, Les Go-Go Players, Jack Of Heart, Hair And The Iotas... But that's another story, perhaps to be told on Volume 2. In the meantime, this is the '90s at the foothills of Mount Canigó.

Following a discussion between Jeff The Fish and Markus at the Staubgold record label in Germany, Staubgold created a new sub-label MJDC to do this, and here they are, with the first collection of some of these tracks that have gone down well in sets across Europe from various Fish events in France including the legendary "Fish Party" in Perpignan, to Genis Worksong's "Cool Fingers" in Barcelona, and Melody Nelson's "Home and Abroad" sessions in Hamburg and Hanover in Germany and more in between. If you are a DJ, hopefully you will find some of these tracks indispensable in your set, and if you are a collector, hopefully you will find this a great listen and addition to your collection. There are tracks from all over the world carefully selected to make a great set and selection. Features Bill Laurance, Hajime Yoshizawa, Khari Cabral & Jiva, Cro Magnon Jin, Maurice Brown, Yusuke Shima, Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo, Lovely Day, Johnaye Kendrick, Novox, Volunteered Slaves, Michele Villari, The Art Eixample of Canigo, The Ricky-Tick Big Band and Julkinen Sana, and TRI4TH.

The "Elder Statesmen of Neo-Krautrock": Electro-duo Klangwart was thought-provokingly labeled as such by an inventive music journalist when presenting their previous album Transit, which was named, among others, Record of the Year in the "Avant-Rock" section of The Wire's 2016 Critics Poll (STAUB 133CD/LP, 2016). The tag responds to an understandable attempt at finding a category for one of the most singular phenomena of the electronic music scene. It might be more passing to call them the "Under-Statesmen", as minimalism and understatement are key elements of the Klangwart project, founded more than 20 years ago by musician and author Timo Reuber and DJ and Staubgold label manager, Markus Detmer. Every few years, seemingly coming out of nowhere, the duo releases a consistently critically-acclaimed Klangwart album, give a couple of concerts, and disappear once again. This might sound of harakiri, as it contradicts all common rules of the music market. But behind it lies a profound longing for veracious expression on the border between avant-garde and entertainment. In 2014, Klangwart traveled to the Colombian capital in order to record the material for Bogotá with protagonists of the local music scene: Damián Ponce (drums), César Quevedo (bass) and Eblis Álvarez (violoncello), members of The Meridian Brothers, and singers Juanita and Valentina Áñez Rothmann, aka Las Áñez. The result is Klangwart's trademark sound permeated by a Latin American pulse and pitch. Collectively improvised and recorded in a matter of days, the raw material was later edited and mixed by Reuber at the Inkiek-Studio in Cologne. Joseph Suchy added guitar overdubs and mastered the album. At all times unpredictable, exciting, and surprising, Bogotá is the latest milestone in Klangwart's ongoing musical journey. Includes CD.

Staubgold present a reissue of Atarpop 73 & Le Collectif Le Temps Des Cerises's Attention L'Armee, originally released in 1975. 10 December 1974. 200 conscripts exited the casern of Draguignan in order to demonstrate in the streets of the city. They made part of those clandestine soldier committees multiplying themselves all over France with a view to unite the young activists of the extreme left with the anti-militarists. This dispute was a backwash of the student manifestations in spring 1973 against the Debré law reforming the military service. The Collectif du Temps des Cerises founded by François Tusques, one of the pioneers of the French free jazz, supported the insubordinates. Denis Levaillant, 22 years old at the time, became the driving force of this discographical project. It's with another big name in jazz, Jef Gilson in his studio Palm, that the group recorded the compositions of Levaillant, appearing under the pseudonym Serge Igor, as well as cover versions of traditional Spanish music, among others the mythic "El Paso Del Ebro". The young French jazz avant garde scene of the early '70s participates in that session which brought together musicians like Jean-Jacques Avenel, Pierre Rigaud, Jean Méreu, Antoine Cuvelier, Gérard Tamestit, Guy Oulchen, Christian Ville, Robert Lucien, Carlos Andréou, and Kirjuhel. The graphic designer collective Atarpop 73 created the sleeve of the album which was released in an edition of 3000 copies and sold during the student manifestations. This radical report of a rebellious youth raising from the still glowing ashes of May 1968 offers a jazz as spiritual as revolutionary. Comes in high-quality full-color gatefold sleeve with insert; Edition of 500.

Rafael Toral presents Space Solo 2 on Staubgold: "Space Solo 2 is the final release in the Space Program series, which started with Space (STAUB 069CD/TAIGA 001LP, 2006). Ten releases were originally projected, but the ideas I wanted to explore in a sustained and systematic way have already been fulfilled in these six records. For that, and a number of other reasons, I decided that I will be able to move with more room and freedom outside this structure that is now completed. The Solo series is meant to be reference documentation to my solo performance at the time of their release, on various instruments. Space Solo 2 showcases a different set of instruments from Space Solo 1 (QUECK 011CD/TAIGA 002LP, 2007), namely the glove-controlled sinewaves from the first years, a rarely performed modular synthesizer solo, the Theremin-controlled modulated feedback, and a contemporary approach to the electrode oscillator (featured on Space Solo 1 on a simpler configuration). All tracks are edited recordings of real-time solo performance. As a rule in the Space Program, there is no processing or transformation of sounds, all sounds are heard as originally played (except for mastering sound calibration). There is no 'programming' (as in sequencers or digital devices), no samples or software involved (except editing and mastering software and except tracks 9, 10, 11)."
