Making their debut on Wick Records, New York's own Steady Sun deliver two sublime sides of ethereal psych. We're not talking about your run-of-the-mill fuzz fodder here, folks - Steady Sun delivers some of the most refreshingly satisfying psychedelia in decades! Truth is the Needle floats out of the speakers like lysergic vapor, engulfing the listener in layers of delicate guitar, spaced-out vocals, and pulsating bass that swirl around the heavy, grounded groove - generating an intoxicating juxtaposition. On the flip is Lash Around, whose insistent beat and hook-heavy melody will send you through a sonic wormhole that marries the experimentation of Barrett era Floyd with the hypnotic bounce of 1990s Manchester.

Another great R’n’B dancer from the Dolemite!

CD comes in a soft case, instead of the original crystal case.

Despite a scant recorded legacy, the Royal Chessmen were one of the more popular 60s bands of the Mid-Ohio area.

Originally named for their hometown, 25 miles south of Canton, the Dover Chessmen, or simply the Chessmen, were assembled in 1965 by 15 year-old guitarist David Bird along with Dover High classmates Ken Weigand on bass, Keith Whiddon on guitar and Jeff Gintz on drums.

By 1967 Rich Bellanco of rival band the Pendletones had replaced Gintz, and Dave’s older brother Rodney Bird, a junior at Ohio State, was recruited on organ.

As they began to pick up local gigs they added equipment manager Edward Hardesty. They also MOD-ified their moniker to the more regal Royal Chessmen.

Two previously unreleased tracks have been rescued from the vaults by B-W label owner Matt Baker and are presented in this handsome gatefold sleeve.

Ben Vaughn's unstylized singing and guitar is filtered through his quirky sense of humor, resulting a collection of clever lyrics and catchy tunes scented with vintage aroma.It sounds just as fresh today as it did back then and sees now its first reissue in 35 years!The Ben Vaughn Combo blazed the trail for American music that was way off kilter compared to the competition. Their tri-state type Tex-Mex sound really shook things up. Their reputation as a live act grew exponentially with every show they played. Theirs was a twist on the roots rock scare with a reach something like The Fleshtones, outside of the standard 80s ranch stash. The sort of thing that has a tendency to get written out of history despite being timeless, it doesn't easily fit into any premeditated narrative.When "The Many Moods Of Ben Vaughn Combo" appeared in 1986, the Combo literally had the world at its feet. Many of the hits you hear when you see him (and the Quintet) today are on this platter. Long out of print and somewhat sought after, this was the first time that Ben's Rambler car was heard on a record. And not the last.The Andy (then Adny) Shernoff inspired 'I Dig Your Wig' is like The Cramps with a Doug Sahm infusion. The accordion is the secret weapon here. Little used in rock 'n roll and often scoffed at, it allows these songs a setting that your conventional instrumentation would just flatten. Reading the sleeve info you'll see the legend "DEDICATED TO THE GEATOR", a nod to the legendary Philly DJ that inspired Ben to come up with his sound. It sounds just as fresh now as it did back then.Perhaps you're too young to have been around when this record album was first available? Maybe you wore your three copies out? Whatever your story is, these "Many moods_" will lift yours in these perilous times. Don't end up sorry (like Brenda Lee).The man himself (and the aforementioned players) will be revving up their engines for an appearance at Surforama 2022 in Valencia and appearing at other locations a...

The Black Chillies are the spiciest cocktail of rock'n'roll, latin surf and R&B. From Salamanca (Spain) they return with the wildest saxophonic fantasies to make you lose control with this sip of hi-energy instrumental. ''Suavesito!'' Enter soft and hit hard. The Black Chillies present their first single in advance of their forthcoming album.

This release is handmade and numbered silk screen cover. Reprint of Radio Martiko’s 2nd single from 2015.

"Louie Louie" by Belgian schlager legend Joske Harry's (aka Joe Harris) blows The Kingsmen's original version away. Absolute dancefloor-filler.
There must be about 11,283 versions of "Tabou." This ultra-rare gem by Burt Blanca just might be the ultimate version... or maybe not. Anyway, this is a must-have for your collection.

Los Saicos Created A Raw, Wild And Visceral Sound, The Southern Hemisphere Equivalent Of The Garage Rock That Was Coming Out Of The Us And Their Anthem 'Demolición' Is One Of The Most Insane '60s Punk Songs Of All Time. Unavailable On A 45 For Over A Decade, Here It Is Again! The Archaeology Of Rock'n'roll Is Much Like Any Other Form Of Digging. Significant Finds Demand The Re-Addressing Of Previously Considered Certainty. You Can Hear Direct Links To Both The Stooges And The Cramps Here And Several More Equally Enthralling Combos. The Latter Spawned Several Generations Of Individuals Who Would Dig Deep To Previously (Mostly) Unheard Seams Of Music And Other Forms Of Culture That Have Since Become Part Of The Mainstream Fabric. When Los Saicos' Front Man Erwin Flores Was Asked How Aware He And His Friends Were Of What Was Happening In Britain And The Us At The Time, Here's What He Had To Say: "We Knew The Beatles, They Were Our Idols. We Heard The Rolling Stones After Recording 'Demolición' And Also Bob Dylan And Others. The Primitive Nature Of Our Songs Is Something That Came Spontaneously Out Of My Head. The Band Had No Problem With Assimilating And Arranging It. We Thought Of Ourselves As Bad Boys And That Must Have Been A Driving Force." "Primitive To The Point Of Primordial, Los Saicos Are An Important Benchmark. Not Were. Who Ever Thought There Could Be A Combo Out There In Peru That Would Make The Sonics Sound Like Simon And Bloody Garfunkel? There Is Quite Possibly Some Other Music Out There, Someplace, That Could Well Make Us Re-Address This Consideration, But Until Then, Cherish This Short Course Of Saicotherapy."

Peanut Rubble was a power trio from Buckinhamshire, a rural area a few miles northwest of London. This Radio Luxembourg Studios recordings were made back in 1968, being an early sample of british heavy music one year before Led Zeppelin released their first album. They used to play in college/university circuit, airbases and youth clubs with 100w Marshall stacks, being too loud for some of those clubs. They supported bands such as Status Quo, The Pretty Things, Arthur Brown or Pink Floyd. The single contains three remastered songs of pure loud heavy blues, with a smooth drum playing and a thick fuzzy sound, being now released for the first time. It includes an insert with the story of the band.

Granit Marbled vinyl. Cover with small beginning of seam split on top spine.

A frenchman, a brazilian and two catalans meet at a bar, little later get drunk and that’s how the new made in Barcelona sensation of “french yé-yé punk” is born: a frontwoman and three nutters behind, all in love with the loudest sounds of rock’n’roll, freakbeat and garage. European scene veterans, they’ve already performed in Les Mortettes, Els Trons, Thee Grandaddies, Flashback V, The 54321s, Missing Souls and The Cavemen Five… amongst other bands. Les Rencards have been produced by Mike Mariconda -that’s nothing- and feel eager to go wild on stage at Ye-Yé ’22 ¡Vive la fête!

A rock'n'roll band consisting of ROY (Vo,B), Taxman (G,Vo), JIM (G), and Marcy (Dr), who have been classmates since their college days. Their songs are sublimated from their beloved Rhythm & Blues/Rock 'n' Roll roots. The band's style of all-English lyrics has earned them a strong following not only in Japan but also overseas. Special 7" from the album "Section #11", in celebration of the Record DAY 2020.

Saigon Supersound Continues… to present more interesting tunes of a musical era that has long been obscured. With the well-received Volume 1, we are very delighted to dig deeper and share with you the beautiful music of a short but significant period in Vietnam‘s history.
Much like the country itself, the music of Vietnam has endured many twists. As the result of the Geneva Accords in 1954, Vietnam was divided into two. From the North, the Nationalist forces fought to reunite Vietnam as a Communist State, while the American troops backed the government of the South. This caused a mass migration of Northerners to the South, which includes many Tân Nhạc (Modern Music) singers and songwriters. Often characterized by its emotive, poetic and prolific personality, Tân Nhạc continued to freely develop in the South and progressively vacating from the influences of its main inspiration, French music. In the North, the Resistance music, or the so-called Nhạc Đỏ (Red Music), which promoted socialism, patriotism and anti-capitalism was the only genre allowed on national radio. Tân Nhạc was something new to the South Vietnamese repertoire. Between 1954–1960, the theme of hometown (quê hương) was a main inspiration for many songwriters such as Hoàng Thi Thơ, Lam Phương and Nguyễn Hữu Thiết. The 9th title of the compilation, “Thôn Trăng Mở Hội Trăng Tròn” showcases a variety of images that were often described in this genre: the harvest moon, playful children, old mother…
Every recording made in this era is then an organic combination of human experiences, communications and uniqueness. In 1965, the first American troop landed in Vietnam, bringing with them the musical influences of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley… The Vietnamese people quickly integrated it into the repertoire with hope to further diversify the music of Vietnam. Constantly changing and learning from different cultures, the modern music of Vietnam cuts a window into the soul of a Vietnamese person and the country’s history as a whole. With that, we hope that Saigon Supersound Volume 2 would take you on a trip back to the unique atmosphere of Saigon through the many different palettes of music that this beautiful place offers.

Include three bonus tracks.
