YARDBIRDS - LIVE IN STOCKHOLM APRIL 4, 1967
The Yardbirds' performance at Stockholms Concert Hall in Sweden, on 4 April 1967 took place after many months of touring, during which the Yardbirds had been to the United States twice and as far away as Australia and New Zealand. March of 1967 found them briefly back home again (just long enough to record their new single "Little Games" for their upcoming album), however, in Sweden the band (now a foursome featuring Jimmy Page on guitar) did little in the way of promoting it, preferring to stick mainly to crowd pleasers like "Heart Full Of Soul", "Shapes Of Things" and "Over Under Sideways Down". This is a high quality soundboard recording that originally aired on Swedish radio. Tracklist - SIDE A: 1. Shapes of Things 2. Heart Full Of Soul 3. Mr. You're A Better Man Than I 4. Most Likely You'll Go Your Way. SIDE B: 1. Over Under Sideways Down 2. Little Games 3. My Baby 4. I'm A Man.

FRESH & ONLYS - LONG SLOW DANCE
A mature, anthemic and -in subtle ways- pretty weird album.

 

HOLOGRAMS - HOLOGRAMS
Holograms emit a seemingly impossible energy. Their sound synthesizes the drudgery of dismal existence with a lust for something better; echoing both the violent abandonment of punk as well as some of the electronic gloss of early '80s new wave. Their sound has proven far too large for Stockholm's charred pavement and empty streets; leading us to think it's about time for all of us to get a little drunker together.

 

KNICKERBOCKERS - JERK AND TWINE TIME
Although the Knickerbockers hailed from Bergenfield, New Jersey, anyone listening to the radio in early 1966 would have sworn that they were from Liverpool. Thats when the bands overpoweringly infectious signature tune "Lies" stormed the AM airwaves, convincing many stateside listeners that they were hearing a fab new Beatles single. Jerk and Twine Time emphasizes the raw immediacy of the Knickerbockers origins as a live band. Beyond the dance-craze anthem "Jerk Town" and the venerable R&B instrumental "Twine Time," the set offers a memorable mix of the British Invasion, R&B and Motown covers that dominated the bands live repertoire at the time, with memorable renditions of the Zombies "Shes Not There" and the Kinks anthems "You Really Got Me" and "All Day and All of the Night." They also tear into the Kingsmens garage novelty "The Jolly Green Giant," the Motown standard "Money (Thats What I Want)" and the R&B classics "Land of 1000 Dances" and "The In Crowd." Out of print in its original LP format for nearly half a century, this vintage 60s gem has been sourced from the original mono tapes and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with complete original cover art. TRACK LIST: 1. You Really Got Me 2. All Day and All of the Night 3. Money 4. The Jolly Green Giant 5. Twine Time 6. Land of 1000 Dances 7. The "In" Crowd 8. The Jerk 9. Jerk Town 10. She's Not There.

 

KNICKERBOCKERS - LIES
The Lies LP, recorded in Hollywood with songwriting contributions from the likes of Glen Campbell, Jim Seals and Jerry Fuller, surrounds its iconic title hit with an eclectic assortment of tunes, including the catchy melodic gems "I Can Do It Better" and "Just One Girl, the widescreen pop experiment "I Believe in Her" and distinctive renditions of the durable standards "Youll Never Walk Alone" and "Harlem Nocturne." Although they ironically rode the faux-English sound of "Lies" to chart success, the Knickerbockers were actually seasoned live performers who were adept at whipping Garden State crowds into a frenzy long before the British Invasion hit U.S. shores. The quartets prowess as a high-energy live act is apparent on these two vintage LPs, originally released on Gene Autrys fabled Challenge label. Both albums brilliantly reflect the bands distinctive blend of Beatlesque jangle, garage grit and frat-rock adrenaline. Out of print in its original LP format for nearly half a century, this vintage 60s gem has been sourced from the original mono tapes and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with complete original cover art. TRACK LIST: 1. Lies 2. I Can Do It Better 3. Can't You See I'm Tryin' 4. Please Don't Fight It 5. Just One Girl 6. I Believe in Her 7. Wishful Thinking 8. You'll Never Walk Alone 9. Your Kind of Lovin' 10. Harlem Nocturne.

 

SHADOWS - MEETING WITH THE SHADOWS
At long last, and much to the delight of Shadows fans all over the world, we are proud to present the extremely rare Italian edition of Meeting With The Shadows, originally released ONLY for the Italian market in 1962. Meeting With The Shadows was the first Shadows LP to find its way over the Alps, but unlike in every other country, in Italy the LP itself was actually adapted for the local market, where it was released with new sleeve art and a different track list, considered at the time to be better suited to Italian taste. The resulting album was a compilation of seven singles (including two number one hits, six tracks from their first LP, The Shadows, and three B sides), all from the first two years of their career. Only ever released in Italy, and never re-released on CD, this album-now reissued in a deluxe MONO edition on 180 gram virgin vinyl with an embossed cover and attached bonus "picture" CD in STEREO-is highly sought after by collectors. In addition, the mono version of the original record has not seen the light for over fifty years! Regarding the cover art, this was one of the first times that guitarists in Italy were able to actually get a glimpse of the infamous red Fender used by Hank Marvin, and predictably it caused a peak in Fender guitar sales! Limited edition of 500 numbered copies. Track list - SIDE A: 1. Apache 2. Blue Star 3. Tema da "Man Of Mystery" 4. All My Sorrows 5. Midnight 6. The Savage 7. The Stranger 8. Shadoogie SIDE B: 1. Guitar Tango 2. Sleepwalk 3. Gonzales 4. f. b. i. 5. Peace Pipe 6. Big Boy 7. The Frightened City 8. Wonderful Land.

 

SPENCER, JON -BLUES EXPLOSION- - MEAT & BONE
LP version. Their first new studio album in 8 years, a blistering return to form.

 

TURBO FRUITS - BUTTER
A remarkable mixture of heavy Sabbath-soaked fuzz and tight surf rock riffs.

 

UNNATURAL HELPERS - LAND GRAB 
This Seattle based band started out as a unit of Sub Pop employees. Nowadays drummer-vocalist Dean Whitmore is the only original member left. This is an appealing set of garage rock inspired recordings.
