Reissues

Stranded gave Roxy Music their first UK No’1 album and brought with it an undeniable presence that would eventually see Roxy Music’s American audience take note! It was becoming all too clear that Roxy Music were indeed a band ahead of their time.

Moanin’ is the sound of Art Blakey turning a band into a congregation, with Lee Morgan’s trumpet, Benny Golson’s tenor saxophone, Bobby Timmons’s piano, and Jymie Merritt’s bass all testifying over Blakey’s unmistakable cymbal crashes and press rolls. From the call‑and‑response of the title track to the burning hard‑bop vehicles that follow, the record distils church‑infused, blues‑drenched celebration into a small‑group format. Each soloist brings a distinct voice – Morgan’s bright fire, Golson…

Out to Lunch! remains one of the most strikingly original statements on Blue Note. Eric Dolphy marshals Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone, Richard Davis on bass, and Tony Williams on drums into a unit that treats his knotty compositions as springboards rather than straitjackets. Themes like “Hat and Beard” arrive full of angular intervals and odd accents, while the rhythm team tilts and lurches under them, propelled by Williams’ restless cymbal work and Davis’ flexible g…

Nico's first solo album, from 1967, after her time with the Velvet Underground, with songs by Jackson Browne, Lou Reed, John Cale, Bob Dylan and Tim Hardin.

On Maiden Voyage, Herbie Hancock turns the small jazz group into an ocean vessel, steering a dream team of Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), George Coleman (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums) through a suite of sea‑evoking pieces. Modal harmonies, open forms, and long, swelling melodies create a sense of expanse; Carter and Williams suggest tides and undertows, while Hubbard and Coleman trace arcs that feel both exploratory and inevitable. Hancock’s piano balances delicacy with fo…

Touching homebuilt compositions from celebrated American novelist, playwright and poet Ishmael Reed, channelling a long life immersed in jazz culture.  A joint in-house production from ANF and NYC-based label Reading Group. You’re never too old to learn something new.  Reed credits bebop with keeping him and his friends out of reform school because they were too busy listening to records at each other’s houses to get into trouble.  Finding fame as a distinguished writer, he found his way back to…

Hardback book style packaging, 24 page booklet + 140 minutes of music - The most ambitious work of Sarah Davachi's career to date. Spanning more than two hours of music across three LPs, The Will of Tongues arrives on the composer's own Late Music imprint as a vast, deeply considered statement - a meditation on the act of listening itself, and on the mental spaces that sound, given duration and reduction, continually opens. Over the last decade, Davachi has emerged as one of the most singular vo…

Sublime frequencies from the golden era of ambient electronica. Plumbing hidden depths beneath a deceptively tranquil surface, MLO's mid-90s masterpiece Io is an overlooked gem from a golden era for ambient electronic music. Originally released in 1994, Jon Tye and Pete Smith's collaborative album responded to the growing chill-out movement by leaning into classical and avant-garde influences from Satie, Debussy and Cage through to Soft Machine, Incredible String Band and Eno. Recorded across va…

A document of one of British folk-rock's great might-have-beens, captured just weeks before it ended. Recorded live at the Grugahalle in Essen on 23 October 1970, during the third Essen Pop & Blues Festival, Essen 1970 finds Fotheringay - the short-lived band Sandy Denny formed on leaving Fairport Convention - at the height of its powers, playing with the confidence of a group that believed it had years ahead of it. Within three months, it would be gone. Fotheringay took its name from Denny's ow…

One of the prized private press rarities of early 1970s American rock. Originally issued in 1972 on the tiny East Coast Records imprint, Keep On Truckin' is the lone album by Surprize, a Philadelphia five-piece whose single recorded statement - heavy, bluesy, psychedelic, and threaded with organ - has spent decades near the top of collectors' want lists, original copies nearly impossible to find and counterfeited more than once along the way. The band had been together only eight months when, in…

Purple Vinyl! How do you make a documentary film about a man who was also a myth? About a musician who was more than a musician? About someone who asked us to trust our intuition more than our rational minds? This double LP contains the original soundtrack to the accompanying PBS documentary! Includes liner notes from executive producer Bradford Smith about the making of Sun Ra: Do The Impossible, interviews from members of the Arkestra and a BluRay disc of the doc! Firelight assembled an incred…

Available for the first time since its original release in 1980, this is compelling, funky, exploratory jazz from Melbourne, Australia. The album opens with the floating Song For Bobby, a downtempo gem with the heartbeat aura of Herbie Hancock’s Butterfly; Orchestral Excerpts (From The Symphony Of Life), In The Basement and City Of Stone are high-grade fusion jams with one eye on Weather Report and Return to Forever, the other on the organic Australian sound of Alan Lee and John Sangster. The al…

On Fantasy, Piero Umiliani resurfaces four decades late with a perfectly preserved final statement: a 1983 library dream where analog synths, light orchestration and soft rhythms drift between science‑fiction shimmer and easy‑listening warmth, closing his universe on a quietly visionary note.

The Mexican band The Survival created a blend of blues and acid rock influenced by the U.S. West Coast movement and British blues, captured on this 1971 album- the only one they recorded. They are often described as a combination of Country Joe and the Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape and Ten Years After. One of the rarest records ever released in Mexico, it stands as a significant testament to the 'onda chicana', a historical movement when Mexican youth took up instruments to exp…

Rediscover a defining moment of Scandinavian underground rock with the vinyl reissue of Lea Riders Group's 1968 single 'The Forgotten Generation' b/w 'Dom Kallar Oss Mods' - a raw and uncompromising snapshot of youth culture at the edge. Emerging from Sweden's vibrant mid-60s scene, Lea Riders Group built their reputation on a fusion of British R&B, garage rock and proto-psychedelia.

**Gatefold black vinyl, remastered** One year on from Opal, the Munich collective threw open a window that would never quite close again. Embryo had announced themselves in 1970 with a debut steeped in dark, psychedelic murk. Embryo's Rache - their second, issued on United Artists in 1971 - is the sound of a band stepping into the light and looking east. Founded by drummer and keyboard player Christian Burchard with multi-instrumentalist Edgar Hofmann, the group here absorbed flutist Hansi Fisch…

At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping …

New CD from Agencement, the long running solo project of the Japanese violinist, improviser, and painter Hideaki Shimada, the first release on Pogus in five years, and it closes a circle more than three and a half decades in the making. As Al Margolis, the label's founder and a singular force within American experimental music since the early 1980s, has long made clear, Pogus had wanted to issue Shimada's work since the very beginning. That it finally appears now, with Margolis himself among the…

*2026 repress* Iconic Norwegian producer and composer Biosphere follows up his evocative 'Angel's Flight' release with a new album set for release early in 2022. Shortwave Memories is an album inspired by the post-punk electronic music of the late 70's and early 80's, especially the productions of figures like Martin Hannett and Daniel Miller. "The last few Biosphere albums have all been made using samples and software, but Shortwave Memories is a return to vintage analog hardware from the late …

Norwegian ambient maestro Geir Jenssen aka Biosphere maintains his fascination with natural landscapes in The Petrified Forest, in a sort of impressionistic illustration of Archie Mayo’s 1936 film of the same name. After imaginary trips taking us to Trømso, the Wolski forest on Poland, and more esoteric corners of his mind, this time his music inhabits a noirish world on the edge of the desert, populated by nervous and disillusioned characters who crop up in snatches of sampled dialogue across s…

A collection of spellbinding, melismatic vocal improvisations taken from 78s cut between the mid 1920s to mid '30s - a period defined by the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire’s partition, the Greco-Turkish War and the compulsory population exchange that followed. This same period also represented a time of intense efforts, following the establishment of the Republic, to westernise the new nation's music - coupled with a ban on traditional music education in schools, and later a complete ban on bro…

"Jefferson County is the heartland of black American a cappella gospel quartet singing. For more than [a century] black quartets have thrived in Birmingham and Bessemer, and they have provided immeasurable spiritual uplift and musical enjoyment to a large portion of the local population. The tenacious survival of black quartet traditions in Birmingham and Bessemer preserves a cultural and historical continuity that informs and enriches many lives. The older singers share a sense of brotherhood, …

Death Is Not The End issue a 14-track tape of vintage and archival Cajun ft. tracks from Segura Brothers, Amede Ardoin, Blind Uncle Gaspard, Sydney Landry & more.

A 14-track tape pulling together rural Greek demotika recordings from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s. Soaring pentatonic improvisations, odd-metered rhythms, and vocal performances oscillate between heartbreaking laments and ecstatic celebrations.

Sacro Bosco (“Sacred Grove”) is the starting point for Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly. Here in solo instrumental mode, the entire record consists of just one instrument, the organ, and represents absolute liberation of the imagination. All Thoughts Fly radiates a melancholic beauty, and is distinguished by fluid transitions of contrasting elements; calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, much like the place that inspires the music. Sacro Bosco is a garden, based in the centre of Ital…

Second edition of 500 on transparent green vinyl. The third stanza of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem ‘Dem sonnengott’ evokes a narrator who is tortured by Spleen until slumber makes his childlike gloom disappear with music. Although today’s readers might judge these nineteenth century musings of the Imagination as mere stylistic platitudes, they also still speak beyond the grave as universal truths. A mere two hundred years later, similar anxieties and hopes are still channeled through various art f…

The premiere vinyl release of Giovanni Fusco's 1968 score for Ugo Liberatore's Il Sesso degli Angeli, prepared in full stereo as it was meant to appear in 1968 but never did.

Edition of 350. Built from three episodes, Stato Interessante turns on the experiences of women facing pregnancy and abortion in an Italy on the edge of profound change, the country's debate over reproductive rights reaching its height in the months before the 1978 law. Nasca, working from a script co-written with Maurizio Costanzo, frames intimate character study against broader social observation, with a cast including Janet Agren, Monica Guerritore, Duilio Del Prete and Turi Ferro. Morricone …

Issued for Ortolani's centenary, the most complete edition yet of his 1967 western score for Tonino Valerii's film with Lee Van Cleef and Giuliano Gemma. Jazzy horns, electric guitar and that slow-stepping main theme, across the original mono and stereo albums plus the full score in stereo. 350 copies.

Cinedelig/Jamdung proudly presents the first repress of the rare UK compilation In Reggae Time (originally 1970) as a limited-edition 12" picture disc. Unearthed from original 7" single sources issued around 1967 on Ember Records and its sub-labels, this repress collects exceptionally rare UK tracks that sit at the crossroads of late‑’60s British youth culture—only marginally reggae, they instead deliver a vivid fusion of mod, R&B, ska and northern soul with the era’s restless energy preserved i…

“Novos Baianos shaped an entire generation of Brazilian music — their sound is pure freedom.” — Caetano VelosoOriginally released in 1973, Novos Baianos F.C. captures the band’s communal lifestyle and fearless experimentation. After the success of Acabou Chorare, the group expanded their sound into a vibrant mix of samba, choro, folk, psychedelia, and electric street-soul.With the unmistakable chemistry of Baby Consuelo, Pepeu Gomes, Moraes Moreira, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, and Dadi, the album r…

US Heavy rock band Los Angeles-based, active in the 1st half of the 70s. Stepson was formed in 1972 by Bruce Hauser (bass), Jeffrey Hawks (vocals), Vern Kjellberg (aka Joey Newman) (guitar) and Len Fagan (drums). Hauser, Hawks and Newman hailed from cult psych-rockers Touch (one album in 1969), whilst Fagan had been member of the country-rock group Wichita Fall (one album in 1968). The music of the band is a powerful and high-energy hard blues rock, a cross between MC5, Bloodrock , Mountain and …

Three piece U.S. hard rock outfit formed in 1969 that released two albums. At the time of their release, the albums were not successful but have grown to have cult status over the years. Guitarist and vocalist Richie Wise went on to write songs and produce records for Kama Sutra with Dust producer Kenny Kerner. The pair went on to produce the first two Kiss albums. Bassist Kenny Aaronson is a notable touring and sessions bass player having worked with Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol and ma…

Released in 1972 on Kama Sutra, Hard Attack is a heavy rock burner from New York trio Dust. Packed with searing riffs, wild energy, and the powerhouse drumming of Marc Bell (later Marky Ramone), it’s a raw, intense listen that still hits with full force. A true cult classic.

Recorded across a single sweltering Paris summer in June 1978, Adonia - the lone album credited to Ose - captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination, and emerging technology. For decades it has lingered as one of the great half-secrets of French electronic music's most fertile decade, traded between collectors who understood exactly what they were holding. At just twenty-six, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the Frenc…

Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…

** 50th anniversary Limited Edition ** The fourth full-length album by legendary German electronic music duo Cluster, originally released on Sky Records in 1976. Sowiesoso follows on from their most highly-acclaimed album, Zuckerzeit (1974). Michael Rother's influence was clearly audible on the latter, Cluster having already recorded two albums with him under the name of Harmonia. 1976 saw the duo looking for new musical forms. More than any other Cluster album, Sowiesoso represents the utopian …

*2026 repress. 200 copies limited edition* Iskra is the debut album by Polish multi-instrumentalist and composer Olga Anna Markowska. Starting at “Dawn” and ending at “Dusk”, it is a journey of melancholic depth and true beauty filled with warm memories from what was & what could be. Using zither, cello, electronics and occasional wordless voice, Olga weaves together something so affecting and under the skin beautiful that it is hard to shake, bringing to mind classics from artists like Jacaszek…

Music for Real Airports is a multimedia art project by musicians the Black Dog and interactive artists Human which is presented in art galleries. It is also a new CD of music by the Black Dog. It is a response to the reality of occupying the semi-public space of an airport, and a contemporary reply to Brian Eno’s work from the ‘70s. Airports are important and revealing. They are dystopian microcosms of a possible future society. The necessity of safety requires that they be systems of human cont…

On At the Earl of Old Town, Terry Callier steps out of legend into living presence: a 1967 Chicago club set where his folk‑soul‑jazz blend arrives fully formed, intimate, unadorned, and quietly epochal, just before the world catches up.ì
