CHRONICLE OF THE BLACK SWORD
The success of Hawkwind during the seventies allowed them the privilege of meeting many of the artists and writers who had influenced them. Most prominent of these was Sci-Fi writer Michael Moorcock, whose sword and sorcery 'Elric' series had been the primary source for the bands' Chronicle of the Black Sword' album. Filmed in December 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon, `Chronicle' does more than justice to what was a truly epic performance from the undisputed `kings of acid-rock overkill'. The narration is provided by Michael Moorcock. Packed with suitably obscure psychedelic mages and bizarre OTT stage antics, also included is the four number encore where Moorcock performs on stage with the band.

NIGHT OF THE HAWKS
Recorded live at the Gaumont Theatre, Ipswich in spring 1984 this superb film of the 'Hawks' features their most eccentric of front men Nik Turner in fine form. Resembling a creation from one of Dr.Who's least convincing episodes, Turner wanders around the stage like a maniac, motor -mouthing his way through what is a truly impressive set of some of Hawkwind's best material. The additional laser graphics and wild editing could not have been more suitable. Prepare yourself for an audio/visual Brainstorm.

LOVE IN SPACE
Love in Space was shot during Hawkwind's Alien 4 tour in 1995 and is comprised of the highlights taken from four venues - Liverpool Royal Court, Manchester Academy, Bristol Colston Hall and Brixton Academy London. It shows the band at their most creative and over the top, with then front man Ron Tree, wearing a vast array of bizarre costumes designed specially for the tour, alongside various performance artists. The band are paired down to a four piece but have lost none of the raw power one associates with archetypal Hawkwind, as they rip through numbers both old and new, including some true classics. With the advantage of digitally re-mastered sound you not only get to see Hawkwind at their most outrageous you also get to hear them exactly as they should be heard - loud and proud.

Exploring the genres of rock, psychedelia and African beats, the sessions also saw Burdon record the song Mirage, written by Jimi Hendrix on the night he died.

This CD release on Esoteric Recordings makes for the album s CD debut in the UK.

One of the band's fans was David Bowie, who stated during an interview with Billboard in 1999 stated "One of the most important female bands in American rock has been buried without a trace. And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest...rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary... they're as important as anybody else who's ever been, ever, it just wasn't their time". Wise words as the interest level in the band increases through fan sites and forums around the world on the net.

And with names such as Ivor Raymonde, Les Reed, Barry Mason, Len Beadle, Barbara Moore, Mike Leander and Johnny Arthey involved, this really is a positive feast of first class 60s Pop, Beat and Soul. With the aural evidence on offer here, it really is astounding that Jackie only ever struck gold with White Horses and Rupert The Bear, especially now that Jackie’s recordings are collected by fans of '60s Girl Pop, Beat and Northern Soul.

Now for those elusive Decca and Philips tracks!

Something of a jazz poster boy, Farlow first captured the public’s attention as one-third of vibraphonist Red Norvo’s Trio (the other member was Charles Mingus). In 1953, Farlow went solo producing recordings of outstanding quality. A long overdue re-press for this two-CD set that comprises Farlow in Los Angeles fronting some of that city’s finest. By way of a bonus, we’ve included six wondrous tracks featuring the Red Norvo Trio at its creative peak.

Whether underscoring mobster movies such as Martin Scorsese’s ‘Mean Streets’ and ‘Goodfellas’ or emphasising the rites of passage story lines of such timeless teen classics as ‘American Graffiti’ and ‘Diner’, the 28 tracks included here are an indication of just how widespread is this genre’s appeal. In the same way as many of today’s Gangsta Rappers project a violent image, it was assumed that some of the tough looking Doo Wop groups were hoodlums with gang connections. True or false, the one thing they all had in common was they were smartly dressed in matching stage clothes and indulged in varying degrees of choreography.

Sunforest was released in 1973 and was credited to "Tom Rapp / Pearls Before Swine". Like its immediate predecessor, Stardancer, the album was recorded with members of the touring group Pearls Before Swine (Art Ellis and Bill Rollins), supplemented by a selection of prominent Nashville session musicians. The sleeve design showed a cover painting of Rapp, and two small reproductions of paintings by Henri Rousseau were included on the back cover.

Powell began his professional music career in 1965 with the Sorcerers, eventually winding up working with Jeff Beck after Beck left the Yardbirds. In 1971, Powell formed Bedlam, but eventually abandoned this project to produce singles such as "Dance with the Devil." He later formed Cozy Powell's Hammer, which broke up in 1975. After a brief sabbatical, he joined Rainbow, helping to give the band a thundering rhythm section before quitting after four years and four albums in 1980. Always in demand for the drum seat, he alternated between session work and working in a variety of bands, including the Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake and Black Sabbath, never staying in any one band for very long.

In 1996, he worked with former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green on his long-awaited comeback tour. At the time of his death on April 5, 1998, he was recuperating from a foot injury that had sidelined him from touring work with guitarist Yngvie Malmsteen. He was driving on the M4 Motorway towards Bristol when he apparently lost control of his car (due to bad weather), slamming into the center divider of the motorway. He died a few hours later in the hospital.

Of the lesser known items, Threeteens forgotten ode to the G.I Elvis Presley ‘Dear 533-10761’, The Deltairs ‘A Schoolgirl in Love’ and The Baby Dolls ‘Go Away Baby’ are all examples of clever, passionate, original songwriting that still speaks to us today; genuinely independent music that blew the cobwebs off the fifties and in it¹s energy and ambition parallels the punk rock explosion of twenty years later.

Taken from the original master tapes, this 2009 retooling adds both sides of the group’s equally essential pre-album single, ‘Portcullis Gate’ b/w ‘Halo In My Hair’.

With new band quotes, rare photos and, for the first time, the full lowdown on Bulldog Breed’s convoluted story – including how vice queen Janie Jones came to make a cameo appearance on standout track ‘Austin Osmanspare’ – this is the definitive reissue of a much-loved, highly collectable psychedelic pop album.

Who'd have thought it when in, 1981, drummer Lars Ulrich made guitar player/singer James Hetfield an offer he couldn't refuse: "I’ve got a track saved for my band on Brian Slagel's new Metal Blade label." The rest is history…..virtual world domination would ensue. Metallica are the most influential and important metal band in the world….ever , and thus deserving of what quite simply is the Best Metallica Tribute in the World ….Ever!

1969’s Year One would follow a different path. Aided with some of New York and Philadelphia’s finest studio musicians—and the background vocals of none other than members of The Tradewinds (“New York’s A Lonely Town”)—The Golden Gate bridged lushly orchestrated soft pop, Bacharach-influenced Brill pop, Beach Boys/Four Seasons-influenced harmonies, with slight bubblegum affectations.

The Golden Gate was not long for this world and ceased operation shortly after the release of this, their lone LP. Coveted by Japanese soft pop collectors for years, it’s not uncommon for mint original copies of Year One to fetch three figures. Making its worldwide cd debut, Year One is augmented by 7 Bonus Tracks, which were culled directly from original master tapes.

High On A Melody / Monday After Sunday / Diane / I Never Thought I’d Love You / Ridin’ High / In A Colorful Way / Lucky / Make Your Own Sweet Music / Contrary To Mary / Ready, Willing And Able BONUS TRACKS Lucky (Rhythm W/Vocals – Mono) / Monday After Sunday (Alternate – Mono) / Monday After Sunday (Mono) / Diane (Mono) / I Never Thought I’d Love You (Mono) / Lucky (Mono) / In A Colorful Way (Mono)

Besides Chet Atkins, Martin was the only studio musician to play with both Hank Williams AND Elvis Presley. Grady Martin is one of the true legends of Nashville's original "A-Team". He led Red Foley's band on the ABC-TV show Ozark Jubilee. With a strong business relationship with legendary Decca A&R man Owen Bradley, Martin began to record instrumental singles and LPs for Decca.

This is a long overdue re-press for this definitive 32 track CD of Grady Martin's greatest moments! Listen and weep! First ever CD collection of the finest work of this Nashville legend, beautifully remastered by Norman Blake and Joe Foster! Deluxe packaging with detailed notes by Dave Penny and is a work of total genius; a must for everyone who likes music!

Two other tracks also made the charts, Why Not Tonight and Seven Daffodils, from a collection of seven singles and one EP recorded for Decca. The complete recordings are bookended by their very first recording and their last. The first made as The Nomads was included on the Oriole LP This Is Merseybeat in 1963 , and the last was the previously un-reissued Liberty single as Stu James & The Mojos in 1967.
