Another Country continues a prolific new chapter in Stewart’s storied career that began with 2013’s, Time, his landmark last album which reintroduced him as one of rock’s most gifted storytellers. “I’ve found that the only way to write songs is to be as personal and honest as possible,” Rod explains. “And when my last album was so well‐received it gave me the confidence to keep on writing, and to examine and write about different things. It also gave me the freedom to experiment with different sounds like reggae, ska and Celtic melodies.” Beginning today, fans who pre‐order the 12‐song standard or 17‐song deluxe album from digital retailers will instantly receive a download of Stewart's first single "Love is". Fans who pre‐order the 17‐song deluxe edition will also receive an instant download of "In A Broken Dream", the infamous 1968 Python Lee Jackson song featuring the vocals of a yet unknown Rod Stewart. Stewart's vocals played catalyst for the song becoming a hit four years later, following his rise to stardom. Today, those infamous vocals can be heard on rapper A$AP Rocky's (Mark Ronson produced) hit "Everyday" which was just added to the UK's coveted Radio 1 playlist and was called a "Rod Stewart‐sampling soul fantasia" by Rolling Stone. Collaborating closely with Kevin Savigar, who co‐produced the album, Stewart embraced modern technology to record the album, "It seems like I've spent years of my life in a recording studio so being able to record this album at home, where most of the songs were written, felt so much more intimate and inspiring," waxed Stewart.

The follow up to Newman’s gold selling debut album “Tribute”, “Revolve” looks set to confirm the Yorkshireman as one of the UK’s most singular talents and consistently successful artists. Revolve feels classic, timeless, but never retro. Opening with an intro featuring Idris Elba, the album was produced by John and recorded in Los Angeles, London and Miami, alongside a crack team of musicians and producers including Greg Kurstin, (Sia, Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, Katy Perry & Lana Del Ray), the legendary Charlie Wilson from The Gap Band on future smash “Tiring Game”, Jack Splash and Jerry Hey’s brass section (Michael Jackson’s‘ Thriller, Quincy Jones). Revolve was also recorded single by single ‐ an approach John learnt from his friend Calvin Harris. “I remember going out for a cigarette, just after we’d finished recording” remarks Newman, “and I thought to myself, ‘This is very surreal, and I’m in LA and making my second record. I’m actually doing it…’”. At this point it’s worth remembering John Newman is 25 years old and in a very short time he’s gone from being a sensitive kid from a small town in North Yorkshire, to a guy who hops back and forward to Los Angeles and records at Michael Jackson’s old studio.

Its ten songs, built on ethereal melodies and lush orchestration, seem to climb out of the shadows, each resonating with a sense of haunting positivity. “It’s a calm record,” Carlton says. “I didn’t want any angst in there. I thought, ‘What would I want to hear back? What would make me feel better in my darker times?’ Even a phrase like ‘take it easy,’ which is in a million songs, brings happiness. This album leans toward seeing the good in humans and in the world.” Platinum selling, multi GRAMMY-nominated artist Vanessa Carlton returns with her fifth album, Liberman, due for release on October 23 via Dine Alone Records. Produced by Steve Osborne (KT Tunstall, Peter Gabriel, The Fratellis), along with Adam Landry (Deer Tick, k.d. lang) who worked on three tracks. Along with longtime friend Stevie Nicks’ influential direction, Carlton’s husband, Deer Tick frontman John McCauley, played on several songs throughout the process, including “Take it Easy,” "Ascension" and “Matter of Time.” First single “Willows” premiered on USA Today, along with mass amounts of album press from the likes of CBS News, People Magazine, Elle Magazine, ABC News, SPIN, NYLON, Clash Music, American Songwriter (“Writer of the week”), Paste Magazine, Esquire, and plenty more. Deluxe CD version will feature a second disc that includes seven "Live Living Room Session" versions of Liberman songs (two of which are on the Blue Pool EP) and one demo version. Upcoming North American tour for the Fall to be announced shortly, including most major markets. “She’s doing more with less, and her lyrics have progressed from urgent observations about growing up to more contemplative reflections about growing older.” – Esqure “Carlton has swapped rosy-cheeked pop ballads for a more adult sound.” – SPIN Magazine “Liberman is folky, brooding and yet breathtakingly free-spirited.” – American Songwriter (Writer of the Week 8/17) INTERNAL USE Label Name: Dine Alone Territory: Domestic Release Type: CD, Deluxe CD, LP For additional artist information please contact Ryan Spalding at 416‐585‐7885 or ryan@dinealonerecords.com UNIVERSAL MUSIC 2450 Victoria Park Avenue, Suite 1, Toronto, ON M2J 5H3 Phone: (416) 718‐4000 Fax: (416) 718‐4218 UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA N E W R E L E A S E Artist/Title: Cat. #: Chris Tomlin // Adore: Christmas Songs Of Worship (CD) B002289202 Price Code: G Order Due: Sept. 24, 2015 Release Date: Oct. 23, 2015 File: Christian / Gospel Genre Code: 45 Box Lot: 25 5 099908 333025 The new Christmas album from Chris Tomlin releases October 23.

He is the lead singer for the R&B‐pop group “The Philosopher Kings,” which had reached its peak popularity in the late 1990s. During the group’s 7‐year hiatus, he began a solo career, releasing the album “Shake it Off” in 2002 under the stage name, Jarvis Church. From there Church would go on to release two more solo albums, and begin his collaboration with The Soul Station. Jarvis Church and The Soul Station release a series of recordings that pay homage to the soul singers that influenced Church. This second installment features the music of Curtis Mayfield including hits like "Move On Up", "Superfly" and "So In Love" plus three new original tracks from Church. The first album in the series featured the songs of Sam Cooke, and moving into the 1970s to focus on the music of Mayfield was a natural progression. Church was drawn to Mayfield's soulful sound, but also the social commentary in his lyrics. “Through all the different genres I’ve worked in, the center is soul. I consider myself a soul singer. I feel blessed that I can both produce and perform, but I love performing so much. I’ve always loved being on stage.” ‐ Church Label Name: Jarvis Church / Fontana North lINTERNAL USE Territory: Domestic Release Type: For additional artist information please contact Ashley Sperling at 416.718.6546 or ashley.sperling@maplemusicrecordings.com D UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA N E W R E L E A S E Artist/Title: Cat. #: Oberhofer/ Chronovision CD: GLS016902 LP: GLS016901 Price Code: Order Due: September 10, 2015 File: Alternative CD: G LP: M Release Date: October 9, 2015 Genre Code: 2 Box Lot: 25/10 CD: Key Tracks: Memory Remains 8 10599 02070 5 9 LP: one way sale RE‐SOLICITATION 8 10599 02069 On October 9th, Brooklyn’s own Brad Oberhofer will return with a new album under hisOberhofer moniker.

Their story (and it’s an extraordinary one) dates back to 1978 and the post‐punk scene of West London, where classically‐trained musician and vocalist Jaz Coleman, drummer Big Paul Ferguson, bassist Youth and guitarist Geordie set about establishing a new and idiosyncratic manifesto for reinventing the rock ‘n’ roll wheel. Since 2009, when this original line‐up re‐entered the studio, Spinefarm Records has been the home for the band, releasing the ‘Absolute Dissent’ album in 2010, the ‘MMXII’ album in 2012 and the ‘Singles Collection’ in 2013; and now, in 2015, with the world descending ever further into chaos, comes 16th and latest studio outing, ‘Pylon’. As with all KJ releases, ‘Pylon’ isn’t designed to accompany a quiet night at home; these 10 tracks (produced by the band and Tom Dalgety, whose recent credits include the hugely successful Royal Blood album) are very much music as ritual – raw, uncompromising and precisely‐targeted lyrically. While other bands of a certain vintage may struggle to maintain their edge, Killing Joke are delivering the best and most relevant material of their career, with Geordie’s eclectic guitar tones – delivered at arresting volume through a hollow‐bodied Gibson ES‐295 – continuing to define the black beating heart of the group.Famously described as “the sound of the earth vomiting”, Killing Joke continue to be a punishing antidote to mainstream music and corporate life, with international tour dates being lined up from October onwards.

Gone Like The Cotton is a stunning work, of which Rolling Stone’s Stephen Betts writes, “Like the Cox Family's previous efforts, Gone Like the Cotton is built on a solid country‐music foundation with sensational harmony singing and inspired song selection … the Coxes haven't missed a beat, a tasty instrumental lick, or a sterling vocal performance in spite of the nearly two decades between the album's late 20th‐century start and glorious 2015 finish.” Producer Alison Krauss reflects, “I can't remember when I've been lucky enough to be witness to a story where such generosity and talent come together so perfectly. I've had the time of my life getting to work on the record again.

Mullins’ discography includes 1998’s Soul’s Core, the album that shot him to fame on the strength of its GRAMMY‐nominated No. 1 hit, “Lullaby,” and 2006’s 9th Ward Pickin’ Parlor, which contained his AAA/Americana No. 1, “Beautiful Wreck.” He also co‐wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune, “Toes.” But in the years since his last release, 2010’s Light You Up, Mullins has experienced more ups and downs on his romantic roller‐coaster — a ride he’s decided to step off for a while. On My Stupid Heart, the GRAMMY nominated, platinum selling artist, deftly balances songs of suffering — from the title tune and “Go and Fall,” to the powerful, yet subtle social commentary of “Ferguson” — with songs such as “Roll on By,” which strikes an upbeat note of hope. The Levon Helm‐ influenced “Never Gonna Let Her Go” reveals the thrills of riding that afore‐mentioned roller‐coaster, and even the sigh of resignation that is “The Great Unknown” contains lines so striking, you can’t help but smile at their brilliance and depth.

Here, in this extended interview with award-winning musician-filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon, the legendary pianist recalls his career milestones beginning with the 1960 Warsaw Chopin Competition triumph. Containing archival footage, performance excerpts and intimate glimpses of the artist at work, this revealing profile explores Pollini’s musical convictions, his adventurous repertoire and strong artistic associations (Abbado, Nono, Boulez etc.), and his deep political commitment.There are many excellent reasons for making a film portrait of Maurizio Pollini: the greatness of the pianist, his affable nature and intelligence, the rich complexity of the topics addressed, not to mention the desire he himself expressed to submit to the exercise for the very first time —with over 70—, he felt that it is time to allow himself to be filmed This filmed portrait of Maurizio Pollini focuses on the important milestones in his career: in addition to providing some biographical background, the film covers his musical experience, the people he has been in touch with (Luigi Nono, Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, etc), his repertoire (from Bach to Verdi, Chopin, Schoenberg, Nono, Boulez, Stockhausen), and his political commitment Mainly based on an extended interview, the film includes archive footage and work sessions filmed with the artist and also with Artur Rubinstein and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (repertoire see below) The French musician-filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon (Profile on IMDb) is well known for his documentaries about the pianists Glenn Gould (Glenn Gould – Hereafter) und Svjatoslav Richter (Richter – The Enigma) who were infamous for their reclusiveness.

Bevan describes her debut album as “pop in disguise”, and the dozen, dynamic songs have hooks, harmonies and melodies that linger from first listen, but are defiantly timeless and purposely hard to pin down. Bevan, who has already tasted success as a chart‐topping songwriter for One Direction, wrote all 12 songs on Talk To Strangers, which was recorded in producer Shawn Lee’s Bloomsbury studio on entirely analogue equipment. Fiona Bevan has already established a stellar career as an in‐demand songwriter. As well as commissions for film, classical compositions, and a Tate exhibition, she co‐wrote Little Things with Ed Sheeran, a 2012 No.1 single for One Direction. Last year, Bevan wrote, recorded and toured with jazz vocalist Gwyneth Herbert. Reviewing the show in London, The Guardian wrote “Bevan took us on startling odysseys that suggested Erykah Badu, Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush spine‐tinglingly joined”. Most recently, Bevan was in Los Angeles co‐writing with Grammy Award‐winning producer John Shanks.

Born in a dive bar on Toronto’s Bloor Street in 2010, four friends gathered to make improvisational music based on their love of drones, noise and—less obviously—strongly melodic pop music. Since their first show in 2011, Andy Lloyd (bass, keys), Brad Davis (guitars, keys), Jon Maki (drums), and Tim Condon (keys, etc) have released a split 7” single with METZ, a full‐length album, “I” (Reel Cod Records), and a cover of ‘Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle’, featuring vocals by Julie Fader on the Nirvana tribute album, Milkin’ It (Hand Drawn Dracula). They have performed at NXNE, Wavelength, Long Winter, Electric Eclectics, Arboretum, Festival, along with venues throughout Ontario and in Montreal putting on their live show that’s featured them in red hoods, wooden masks, and playing inside a pod full of projectors. Primarily an instrumental band with a core line‐up augmented by guest horn and string players (including Trent Severn’s Laura C. Bates), Fresh Snow is not easy to pigeonhole. Their upcoming EP, scheduled for release in Canada on Hand Drawn Dracula in July 2015, will explore different sides of the band’s aesthetic, and features vocal appearances by Diana’s Carmen Elle, and Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham. Just as they are prone to wearing masks onstage, so they are intent on keeping listeners guessing what they’ll do next. In an age where everything is instant and people have nothing to hide, Fresh Snow believes that a little mystery makes everything more enjoyable. nd ‐ Upcoming tour dates being confirmed: Aug. 22 – Strangewaves Music and Art Festival – Hamilton, ON ‐ Limited White Vinyl ‐ features vocal appearances by Diana’s Carmen Elle, and Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham rd ‐ The “Proper Burial” feat.

Presented in a catchier and more melodic way than previous efforts, Innuendo sounds like a deliberately fresh new start with some of the strongest vocal performances in the band’s history. With production work from Mikko Karmilla (Amorphis, Apocalyptica) and Tuomas Seppälä‘s apparent influences of the likes of Jean Michel Jarre to Vangels, Innuendo showcases the epic trademarks of an album that could easily place the band into the forefront of the Symphonic Metal genre! „Innuendo“ is a term most famed by Queen and their album titled the same, but as time goes on, some might also come to think of Amberian Dawn alongside those British rock heroes.

Formed in 2004, the band scarcely imagined that one day they’d be headlining major UK and international festivals and selling out tours of major concert halls, or that they’d sell in excess of 250,000 albums, including the highest selling independently released traditional album of all time (Hedonism) and the highest charting independently-released UK folk album of all time too (Broadside). Bellowhead are the proud recipients of two silver discs and have won a total of eight BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The band’s last studio album ‘Revival’ (2014) was released by Island Records, entered the UK Album Charts at no.12 and led to three BBC Radio 2 play-listed singles, as well as appearances on mainstream TV. Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 25 This duo produces no small acoustic sound. Connor whose background is firmly in rock and blues (citing Rory Gallagher as a big influence) is equally proficient on piano and electric guitar. He also plays stomp, which creates a driving groove and with the use of loops creates a big brash sound. The pair have a natural spark and this has built into a fantastic musical friendship over the last two years on the road. The show is full of joy and verve and a DVD of this uplifting show was inevitable. The collection filmed at O'Connor Famous Pub in Salthill, Galway which has been Shannon's hometown for many years sees her working through some of her standard hits from her back catalogue including material from her first album which has not been in her set list for many years. The accordionist from Ireland has achieved legendary status throughout the world and has made the much-maligned accordion 'cool' in her home country. She is renowned for her collaborations, not just in Irish traditional music, but through all musical genres, Hip-Hop, Cajun, Country, Classical and Rap. She’s recorded and toured with a who's who of the Irish and Global Music Industry, including Bono, Adam Clayton, Sinead O'Connor, Jackson Browne, John Prine ,Steve Earle, The RTE Concert Orchestra, The Chieftains, The Waterboys, Willie Nelson, Nigel Kennedy, Alison Krauss and Shane MacGowan - a list that is testament to Sharon's versatility as well as talent.

His landmark hit "Blue Suede Shoes" became one of the most covered and performed songs of the era, a staple of the repertoire of every rock 'n' roll band around the world. As one of the core of artists who recorded at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios in Memphis alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, he was central to the development of the sound which changed the face of popular music. Paul McCartney once observed that "if there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles". Perkins came to personify the rockabilly style, since he stayed true to it over the years, and he rightfully became known as "The King Of Rockabilly". This collection comprises the A and B sides of all his singles and all the album tracks released on Sun and then Columbia from his debut in 1955 through to 1962 in a great value 53-track 2-CD set, and it's a fine showcase for his distinctive style and unique talent.

This release gives the full account of what went on in those exciting times, from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan and beyond, and many places in between.

His musical philosophy was that he played to entertain and communicate with his audience, and with his imposing 6' 6" stature and jocular stage presence, allied to his big sound, he was a highly distinctive performer. He was a major force in the development of modern saxophone style, building on the influences of Lester Young to become himself an influence on the likes of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. This collection focuses on the first decade or so of his recording career, from his 1941 recording debut with The Lionel Hampton Orchestra and sessions with The Billy Eckstine Orchestra and Dizzy Gillespie, then incarnations of his own small groups, most notably his legendary tenor sax 'duels' with Wardell Gray in the late '40s and early '50s through to 1952, when his career was interrupted for a few years by brushes with the law over his drug use. It includes several of the marvellously exciting extended 'live' performances with Gray, which along with the studio recordings provide an entertaining insight into his artistry. 8 Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 30 It's no exaggeration to say that without Lonnie Johnson, blues guitar would not have developed as it did. He was one of the true pioneers and originators of the genre, and his influence resonates through the playing of later blues guitar legends, including Robert Johnson and T-Bone Walker, and B.B. King cites him as a primary source of inspiration. His owed his versatility on guitar, violin and piano to his upbringing in the musical hotbed of New Orleans, and in his early recordings he spanned the worlds of jazz and blues with ease, working with the likes of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, Duke Ellington's Orchestra and guitarist Eddie Lang, as well as some of the top blues singers of the day. This great-value 48-track 2-CD set traces the first quartercentury or so of a recording career that was interrupted by a decline in fortunes during the Depression but which saw him climb back to popularity during the 1940s with R&B hits on the King label. It provides an excellent showcase for his genuinely unique talent and highly adaptable technique, and admirably demonstrates why his recordings had such an impact on emerging stars of the time.

But there remains a very large gap in their catalog: their original albums have NEVER been available on CD in their original mono mixes !Which really makes no sense; not only were most consumers buying and listening to mono albums during the early and mid ‘60s, when the bulk of The 4 Seasons’ album catalog was released, but also the mono mixes were what the group and its producer Bob Crewe concentrated on and approved. Now, Real Gone Music is embarking on a monorail, er, monaural ride through the 4 Seasons album catalog, releasing the original mono album mixes on CD in chronological order,all taken from tape,and housed inside mini LP sleeves with old-style,“tip on” printing that replicates the original album art all the way down to the original Vee Jay logos.And wrangling the album session tapes for us?The one and only Bill Inglot, who has been working with the 4 Seasons catalog for years (and the master was approved by Bob Gaudio himself)! Next up is their legendary Christmas album, which hit the charts three times, once in 1963 when it came out as The 4 Seasons Greetings and again in 1966 and 1967 when it was reissued as The 4 Seasons’ Christmas Album. This one’s the original through and through, from the art to the track list. Limited edition of 2000! Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 30 English-born conductor/arranger George Melachrino was the RCA label’s answer to the Decca label’s Mantovani. Along with his famed Music for Moods series, which provided sumptuous soundtracks for every occasion, from dining to daydreaming to studying to sleeping, his most beloved recordings were his two Christmas albums. The first, 1954’s mono release Christmas in High Fidelity, became a perennial best seller and has been reissued in the compact disc era. However, the second, 1959’s Christmas Joy, which took full advantage of the stereo recording techniques pioneered by RCA’s “Living Stereo” series, makes its worldwide CD debut here. It’s hard to conceive of a musical genre more suited for the freedom stereo afforded in the studio than the orchestral easy listening that was Melachrino’s métier, and here the maestro offers widescreen interpretations of 12 songs from the original Christmas in High Fidelity album and adds four more tunes from the lighthearted side of the holiday songbook, including “Christmas Alphabet,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” “Jingle Bells” and “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.” This symphonic seasonal classic receives a pristine remastering from Maria Triana at Battery Studios in New York, with liner notes by Joe Marchese and added photos. Another musical Christmas present from Real Gone Music!

George Jones was one of the biggest and most successful country artists of the post-war, racking up over 100 country hits during a career that lasted six decades, including nine No. 1s. So much did he epitomise the popular mainstream of the genre that Waylon Jennings, in the lyrics of his song "It's Alright", sang "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones". This great value 81-track 3-CD collection comprises the A and B sides of all his singles from his debut on Starday in 1954, through his career with Columbia up to 1962, and then his first releases on United Artists during 1962. It naturally includes the 28 country chart hits which he enjoyed during that time, among which are his landmark No. 1s with "White Lightning", "Tender Years" and "She Thinks I Still Care". It provides a comprehensive overview of the crucial initial years of his career, and is a fine showcase for the distinctive style which transcended the changing tastes within country music over the years to ensure that he became one of the genre's iconic figures.

Just how good were the three sets that comprised each show? Well, when LSD chemist and band benefactor Owsley Stanley produced the official release History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear’s Choice), he lifted portions of each night’s first set and acoustic second set in assembling that record, yet there was enough (very) strong material left over to make Dick’s Picks Vol. 4 one of the greatest live albums in the Grateful Dead catalog. The biggest gem— some might say the crown jewel—of the entire set is the now legendary rendition of “Dark Star,” a version so potent, so telepathic that it formed the backbone of the recombinant “Dark Star” on the Grayfolded album, but there really isn’t a weak song on the album, and a rare live rendition of “Mason’s Children” even gives this one a collector kick. When Bob Weir says when he steps up to the mike at the beginning of disc one, “This ain’t a show, it’s a party,” he ain’t kidding—if you’re not on the bus yet, this one will save a seat for you. Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 30 That this 4-CD set kicks off with five tracks featuring blues legend Bo Diddley (taken from a 3/25/72 benefit for the Hell’s Angels) ought to be enough to get those Dead collector synapses firing. That the last three discs present a complete show from March 28, 1972 that’s very Europe ’72 in its set list (with lots of early appearances of songs that ended up on that album) but with that extra edge that playing in New York always seemed to inspire in the band, all recorded by Dead sound whiz Betty Cantor-Jackson, explains why this Dick’s Picks volume met with almost universal acclaim upon its original release.

Vocalist and songwriter, Courtney Love - influenced by an unholy trinity of Big Black, Sonic Youth and Fleetwood Mac - had formed the band five years earlier, in Los Angeles in 1989 with Eric Erlandson. Hole's first album, 'Pretty on the Inside' was an extremely abrasive piece of work and was clearly influenced both by local hard-core punk bands and by the East Coast 'No Wave' scene. Not released until April of '94, Hole's sophomore album, 'Live Through This' was a different matter entirely. Released just four days after Cobain committed suicide, the record was a massive commercial success. Hailed by 'Rolling Stone' magazine as possibly "the most potent blast of female insurgency ever committed to tape", it eventually went multiplatinum. 8 This remarkably charged live performance by Blondie comes from an FM Radio broadcast and illustrates just what a dynamic yet professional act they were a, full year before the world knew their name. At the time seen as contemporaries it remains fascinating to consider what was to come for this little known combo as they played their very souls out on this late summer evening almost 40 years ago.

He certainly was one of the most gifted; his tonal and breath control were pretty much unmatched by his peers, and he had an amazing 3 ½ octave range, often ascending from a meaty baritone to a high, sweet tenor within a single song. There remains one record, however, that has never really faded from the public eye, and that is his 1964 Christmas album, which went to #3 the year it came out and hit the Christmas charts for four straight years after that. Finally, we at Real Gone Music are bringing this holiday classic with its original album artwork to compact disc, and we’re doing it with assistance from a very special Christmas elf: John’s widow Lee Gary, who has contributed liner notes and photos from the family archive for this release! Arranged and conducted by the great Peter Matz of Barbra Streisand fame, and remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios. Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 30 The instrumental trio The Three Suns had been around for about two decades, capturing fans as far-ranging as First Lady Mamie Eisenhower and the Platters (who took their “Twilight Time” to the top of the charts), when they cut this record for RCA’s famed Living Stereo series in 1959. And, no doubt inspired by the new-fangled recording technology in RCA’s Studio A, they turned in one of the most wacky and entertaining Christmas albums of the era, adding rock and roll guitar and instrumentation as varied as chimes, bells, oboes and two (!) tubas to create a Space Age stereophonic spectacular suitable for the Jetsons’ next holiday party. This record’s long been cherished by Christmas music devotees, and our Real Gone worldwide CD debut reissue features a sparkling remastering job by Maria Triana at Sony’s Battery Studios and liner notes by Joe Marchese. Every bit as fizzy as the champagne you’re going to open to toast the season!

Russell's ideas were a crucial influence on the modal music of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, notably on Davis' classic recording, Kind of Blue, and served as a beacon for other modernists such as Eric Dolphy and Art Farmer. While working on the theory, Russell was also applying its principles to composition. His first famous writing credit was for the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra on the two-part "Cubano Be, Cubano Bop" (1947), and part of that band's pioneering experiments infusing bebop and Cuban jazz elements. This 5 CD compilation includes all George Russell's albums as leader, made between 1956, the year of his debut, and the point in 1963 when he and his sextet relocated to Scandinavia and spent considerable time touring Europe. The set also contains a true rarity in the form of the complete recording of George Russell's Sextet briefly reuniting to the US to play at the 1964 Newport Jazz Festival.

Brainchild of producer/arranger/bassist/songwriter (and genius) Richard Evans, the group was a far cry from the interchangeable outfits that flourished during the “beautiful music” era; instead, The Soulful Strings were actually composed of members of the Chess/Cadet label house band, including flautist Lennie Druss, guitarist Phil Upchurch, bassist/cellist Cleveland Eaton and harpist Dorothy Ashby, who laid down a tasty electric groove into which Evans stirred lush strings and unusual instrumentation like the kalimba and sitar. With production by Barry White, and seven of its nine songs written or cowritten by the Walrus of Love, you’d think that this one-off release from Jay Dee was in reality all but a solo album from White. And you know what? You’d be right…almost. For while Come On In Love sports the trademark lush orchestration (with arrangements by Gene Page) and funky rhythms that made Barry White a superstar during the ‘70s, the artist Jay Dee was, if not an equal partner, a worthy front man. Born Earl Nelson, he first surfaced in 1963 as half of Bob & Earl on the hit “Harlem Shuffle” (which was arranged by—you guessed it—a young Barry White)! The result was a sound that resided at the crossroads of easy listening, jazz, R&B and exotica—and, as one might expect from that description, every Soulful Strings release (they made seven albums) is treasured by cratediggers worldwide. This 1968 release was their highest-charting record at #35 on the charts, and appears on CD for the first time anywhere in the world, with liner notes by Gene Sculatti. The soundtrack to many a swingin’ ‘60s Christmas party. Then, as Jackie Lee he scored a huge novelty hit two years later with “The Duck,” which again had Barry in the background (the two co-composed the single’s flip, “Ooh Honey Baby”). So, this 1977 album was actually a collaboration between two seasoned pros, and it showed it with a number of slow-burning jams spearheaded by excellent soulful vocals from Jay/Earl/Jackie. Our Expanded Edition includes two bonus tracks, both sides of the “Strange Funky Games and Things” single featuring the single edit and a long instrumental version under the name “Games and Funky Things,” with liner notes by Gene Sculatti that explore the background behind this lost classic of ‘70s soul.

Brown made a career out of melding classical motifs with rock, but here— on what would turn out to be the last project to which he made a significant contribution—the focus is definitely more on the latter. The Beckies fits right on the shelf with your Badfinger and Raspberries records, full of catchy tunes that in another era would have had a chance at significant radio play, but 1976 was the height of the disco craze, and therefore it sunk without a commercial trace. A quick search online, however—there are about four solid pages of blog posts about the album— quickly confirms cult classic status for The Beckies, here reissued with notes by Jeremy Cargill and lyrics. Long overdue reissue and worth the wait! Conveyor Canada Territory: Domesti c Box Lot: 30 An homage to the drive-in movies of the 50's and 60's, CHILLERAMA is a comedy-horror anthology comprised of four vignettes from some of contemporary horror's biggest filmmakers, among them I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR, from writer/director Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood). A funny, subversive spoof of the Eisenhower/Kennedy-era beach movies, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR follows a day in the life of closeted new kid Ricky O'Reilly (played by Sean Paul Lockhart, aka adult film superstar Brent Corrigan) who falls for Malibu High's mysterious bad boy Talon (Anton Troy). When aroused, the two transform into bestial leather daddies, the titular werebears. The film features five rock 'n roll musical numbers, along with five other songs written specifically for the soundtrack that spin the frothy boy/girl/beach format into a humorously bloody, albeit well-intentioned, call for acceptance and tolerance. In addition to the songs performed in the film by Lockhart, Troy and company, Sullivan tapped a variety of artists, including pop diva Briana Nadeau, whose "I'm Gonna Make Him Mine" and "Undercover Lover" are a perfect blend of Duffy meets Dusty Springfield. Two other songs featured in the film are courtesy of the Vintons, Bobby and son Rob. "Truth be told," continued Sullivan, "before I became obsessed with KISS at age 13, I was quite infatuated with Bobby Vinton, our family being Polish and my grandma playing his albums over and over. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that Mr. Lonely himself would be crooning a tune in one of my films." Robert Vinton appears both on the soundtrack and in the film, performing "Sexy Ways". Rounding out the soundtrack are Patrick Copeland's score in suite form and a nice little bonus from shockabilly rockers Psycho Charger, who conjured up the hard rocking title track, "Chillerama".

Although largely self-taught, he studied music theory, harmony, and arranging at the Juilliard School of Music. However, he soon moved into jazz, claimed his first residency as house pianist at Milton's Playhouse, Manhattan, during the early to mid-1940s. Much of Monk's style was developed during his time at Minton's, when he participated in after-hours "cutting competitions" which featured many leading jazz soloists of the time. The Minton's scene was crucial in the formulation of bebop and it brought Monk into close contact with other leading exponents of the emerging idiom. In 1944 Monk made his first studio recordings with the Coleman Hawkins Quartet. Hawkins was one of the earliest established jazz musicians to promote Monk, and Monk later returned the favour by inviting Hawkins to join him on the 1957 session with John Coltrane. As the 1950s drew to a close, Monk's relationship with Riverside was beginning to sour over disagreements concerning royalty payments. He would not record another studio album for Riverside after 5 by Monk by 5, and a significant number of live albums followed, which showcased a variety of legendary performances across the USA, France and Italy. In 1962, Monk signed to Columbia Records. Working with producer Teo Macero on his debut for the label, the sessions in the first week of November had a stable line-up that had been with him for two years, Monk's Dream, was released in 1963. Columbia's resources allowed Monk to be promoted more heavily than earlier in his career. The album would become the best-selling LP of his lifetime, and on February 28, 1964, he appeared on the cover of Time magazine, being featured in the article "The Loneliest Monk". Monk spent most of the early and mid-1950s composing, recording, and performing at theatres and out-of-town gigs. After his cycle of intermittent recording sessions for Blue Note during 1947-1952, he was under contract to Prestige Records for the following two years. With Prestige he cut several highly significant, but at the time under-recognized, albums, including collaborations with saxophonist Sonny Rollins and drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach. He continued to record studio albums, including Criss Cross, also from 1963, and Underground, from 1968. Monk had disappeared from the scene by the mid-1970s, and made only a small number of appearances during the final decade of his life. His last studio recordings as a leader were made in November 1971 for the English Black Lion label, near the end of a worldwide tour with the Giants of Jazz, a group which included Dizzy Gillespie, Kai Winding, Sonny Stitt, Al McKibbon and Art Blakey.
