8 x Vinyl 7" Box Set £149.99 Add to basket

After years in the making, last year we released our The Low End Theory 7" Box Set for the 30th Anniversary. It was a labor of love and a work of art.

The Electric Prunes - The Electric Prunes (Jackpot)

Reissue Blue Vinyl LP £37.99 Add to basket

Formed in 1966, The Electric Prunes had a novel approach to being a band: deciding to be a recording unit rather than a live performance band. They discovered their signature sound—reverb-drenched, beautifully chaotic garage pop—and released one of the most fantastic, fuzzed-out singles of all time, "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night". Guitar effects drip and splatter throughout (the band had landed an endorsement deal with Vox, who were the leaders in wild effects pedals at that time), and they laid into the material with brute force (and the occasional gentle touch).

Track Listing:

Side A - 1. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) 2. Bangles 3. Onie 4. Are You Lovin' Me More (But Enjoying It Less) 5. Train For Tomorrow 6. Sold To The Highest Bidder
Side B - 1. Get Me To The World On Time 2. About A Quarter To Nine 3. The King Is In The Counting House 4. Luvin' 5. Try Me On For Size 6. Tunerville Trolley

The Electric Prunes - Underground (Jackpot)

Reissue Light Blue Vinyl LP £37.99 Add to basket

Due to their successful debut, the band’s producer was in demand, leaving little time to devote to the Prunes. The band took full advantage of the adults not being in the room and created an incredible follow-up of original material on 1968’s “Underground". Here is where the band really leaned heavily into their knack for challenging pop. This album came to define what later gravediggers of the garage genre came to devour: Iggy Pop, The Ramones, and Patti Smith all took a riff here; an attitude there.

Track Listing:

Side A - 1. The Great Banana Hoax 2. Children Of Rain 3. Wind-Up Toys 4. Antique Doll 5. It's Not Fair 6. I Happen To Love You
Side B - 1. Dr. Do-Good 2. I 3. Hideaway 4. Big City 5. Capt. Glory 6. Long Day's Flight

The Electric Prunes - Mass In F Minor (Jackpot)

Reissue Highlighter Yellow Vinyl LP £37.99 Add to basket

In 1968, The Electric Prunes collaborated with classically-trained musician David Axelrod to create "Mass in F Minor", a religious-based rock opera. Even though the album is a head-scratcher side by side (BY SIDE!) with their previous records, this has become one of the era’s most bizarre and hypnotic releases. Sung in Latin with the band hanging onto Axelrod’s ambitious arrangements; you’ve never heard anything like it. It created enough of a cultural mark that the lead track ‘Kyrie Eleison’ was even used in the movie that defined the late 60’s generation, Easy Rider. 1968 Psychedelic Concept Record Arranged By David Axelrod. Cut from the Original Analog Master tapes by Kevin Gray. ‘Kyrie Eleison’ featured in the movie and soundtrack for Easy Rider.

Track Listing:

Side A - 1. Kyrie Eleison 2. Gloria 3. Credo
Side B - 1. Sanctus 2. Benedictus 3. Agnus Dei

Okonski - Magnolia (Colemine)

Reissue Dark Grey Marble Vinyl LP £26.99 Add to basket

The studio at 122 West Loveland Avenue was not an unfamiliar space for Steve Okonski, the leader of his eponymous trio Okonski. Ever since the Colemine label set up shop in Loveland, Ohio it has been a host to a number of groups passing through town, including Durand Jones and the Indications who all of this trio’s members have connections to. After setting aside some time in winter of 2020, Okonski, trained initially as a classical pianist, invited Michael Isvara “Ish” Montgomery and Aaron Frazer to work on an album that was initially planned to be beat driven and fully composed trio instrumentals.

Grant Green - I Want To Hold Your Hand (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Reissue Vinyl LP £37.99 Add to basket

The trio of guitarist Grant Green, organist Larry Young, and drummer Elvin Jones had a unique alchemy from the first time they got together on Green’s 1964 album Talkin’ About. A couple months later the trio reconvened as a quartet with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson to record Street of Dreams. For 1965’s I Want To Hold Your Hand they subtly changed their palette again by adding tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley into the mix. The result was another simmering set imbued with sophisticated soul. The quartet elevates a collection of well-known songs with their easy-going elegance from a surprisingly successful bossa reinvention of the title track by The Beatles to the bona fide bossa nova classic “Corcovado” by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The set also includes unforgettable renditions of standards including Kurt Weill’s “Speak Low,” Victor Young’s “Stella By Starlight,” and Cole Porter’s “At Long Last Love.” I Want To Hold Your Hand capped off an extraordinarily prolific 5-year run for Green that saw him record more than 20 hard bop and soul jazz sessions for Blue Note. When the guitarist returned to the label in 1969 his style had evolved into the jazz-funk that would characterize his late career.

Track Listing:

A1: I Want To Hold Your Hand A2: Speak Low A3: Stella By Starlight
B1: Corcovado B2: This Could be The Start Of Something B3: At Long Last Love

Gary Davis - Live In Concert 1976 (Chocolate Star)

Reissue Vinyl LP £30.99 Add to basket

Gary Davis is the polymath behind Chocolate Star Records, the label he started in Camden, New Jersey. He is one of the first people to record rap music, with NYC maverick Peter Brown and on his own. Before that, he made disco. But he's also steeped in the jazz tradition. Gary made 200 copies of this record for Chocolate Star. It is a funky jazz set he recorded live on October 31, 1976 at New Jersey's Glassboro State College (today's Rowan University). Gary's an inspiration, for still believing in music that comes from and finds its way back to the fringes.

Eddie Lebron - Ghetto Records Presents...(Now-Again)

Reissue Vinyl LP £25.99 Add to basket

Now-Again Records presents catalog-wide reissues of Latin music propellant Joe Bataan’s legendary Ghetto Records. First up in the series - Heavy Salsa and Latin Soul from Puerto Rico-born pianist Eddie Lebron and Orquesta Suave, the album that kickstarted Ghetto Records.

Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s way to get over on “The Man” and out of the ‘hood, a bold move by an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. As Bataan puts it today, “Ghetto Records was part of my journey, a stepping stone to everything else that I’ve done. I learned enough that it enabled me to get out of the box with my thinking, it showed me how to deal with adversity.”

Like many dreams and schemes born of the street, this one was audacious, perhaps even reckless to a fault. Hatched from desperation yet full of hope Ghetto Records came crashing down shortly after its inception. The seven albums in its discography languished out of print - until now. These are the definitive reissues of these albums, licensed from Joe Bataan, with his oversight and input into a 16 page oversize book by Pablo Yglesias that details Bataan’s larger-than-imagination life and his little Latin label that could.

Track Listing:

A1. Fui Sincero A2. Yo Te Lo Dedico A3. For Sentimental Reasons A4. Si Quieres
B1. Eddie's Guaguanco B2. Pena B3. Rico Son

Reissue Vinyl LP £25.99 Add to basket

Ugetsu, a 1963 live set from the original Birdland, finds Art Blakey & His Jazz Messengers at the peak of their powers with one of their strongest lineups. The group primarily recorded sessions for Alfred Lion's Blue Note label, but this Riverside date is as strong as any of their previous outings. Having acquired the services of trombonist Curtis Fuller in 1961, the Messengers' front line was its most robust ever, with Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard consistently turning in some of their best performances. Reissued on vinyl by Craft Recordings, released as part of the Craft Jazz Essentials series.

A Side - 1. A Rose For Cindy 2. Stoned Soul Picnic 3. Wave
B Side - 1. For Once In My Life 2. Lil’s Paradise 3. What the People Say

Ayer’s 1968 Masterwork now issued on classic black vinyl. In the late 1960s, vibraphonist Roy Ayers was among the top young talents in jazz, thriving during a remarkable era for the genre. While Ayers would later become a jazz-funk pioneer and delve heavily into R&B fusions, his third album Stoned Soul Picnic is a masterful showcase of soul-jazz grooves. Produced by Herbie Mann, Stoned Soul Picnic features a memorable Laura Nyro-penned title track, along with an exceptional lineup of musicians, including Gary Bartz, Hubert Laws, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, and Grady Tate.

Track Listing:

Side A - 1. One By One 2. Ugetsu 3. Time Off

GET ON DOWN EXCLUSIVE

PRESSED ON RED WHITE BLACK COLOURED VINYL WITH OBI LIMITED TO 1500 COPIES

Run DMC were on a bit of a downward curve in the early '90s following the success of 'Walk This Way' in the '80s. That all changed with 'Down With The King' and thanks to a video loaded with cameos of hip-hop royalty and production by the likes of The Bomb Squad from Public Enemy, Q-Tip and Pete Rock the boys were most certainly back in town.

A: Down With The King | B: Come On Everybody

Run-DMC's vital Down With The King album is now a hard to believe three decades old and so Get On Down mark the occasion with this special red & clear vinyl 7" real of its title tune for its 30th Anniversary. The album - their sixth at the time - marked a superb comeback for the band having already hit massive sights with the previous platinum album Tougher Than Leather. Gangsta rap had rather pushed the group to the sidelines but this one brought them back to the fore with its catchy melodies and crunchy beats as well as superb bars. On the flip here is the low slung and classic boom-bap sound of 'Come On Everybody.'

Wesley Bright With The Means Of Production / The Means Of Production ?– Six Minute Mile ( Palmetto St. Recording Co.)

Vinyl 7" £8.99 Add to basket

A: Six Minute Mile | B: Six Minute Mile II

Six Minute Mile has rightly got plenty of attention for its first few outings and their early good work connotes with this eight 7". It's from Ohio's Wesley Bright who has joined forces with The Means of Production and New York's Ben Pirani, and is a lovely mid-tempo roller that reminds of balmy summer nights. The tune comes in two parts and opens with lovely Rhodes chords that are a great foundation for the tenor vocals of Wesley. Then come plenty of irresistible hooks and the rousing vocals sing of love and devotion like all good soul sounds should.

The Beatles - Now And Then (Apple)

Vinyl 7" £13.99 Add to basket

A: Now And Then | B: Love Me Do

Initially put forward as a potential Beatles single during the mid 1990s 'Anthology' period but shelved due to objections from George Harrison, 'Now and Then' has been trailed as the iconic band's 'final single'. It's re-emergence now in finished form (it was completed partially using AI, but also some studio trickery by Giles Martin) ties in with the reissue of the band's two 1973 'best of' compilations (the so-called 'Red' and 'Blue' collections). Like their two singles of the 90s, it features Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison finishing off an early 70s John Lennon demo, with a little help from producer Jeff Lynne. It comes backed with a freshly remixed, 'proper' stereo version of their debut single, 'Love Me Do', thus completing the band's musical journey once and for all.

DJ Yoda - Breakfast of Champions, Remastered (Lewis Recordings)

CD £9.99 Add to basket

This new pressing features alternative artwork that was never used at the time of the album’s original release.

Unlike all DJ Yoda’s artist albums, ‘Breakfast Of Champions’ features the same collaborators on every track effectively putting together a band. The genesis of the project was in Manchester, where the legendary Band On The Wall venue asked him to host an artistic residency. He put a call out for local musicians, did auditions, and selected three rappers. Two were local to Manchester - Truthos Mufasa and Sparkz. They were local legends making up parts of The Mouse Outfit and LVLZ. And the third was Rex Domino from down south, who was a British MC who Yoda thought would gel well with the other guys. They wrote, rehearsed and recorded intensively in Manchester - performed a memorable series of live shows (including an epic Glastonbury show), and Yoda put the finishing touches to the album back in London after the fact. “It was such an enjoyable experience” says Yoda. “Lifelong friendships were made, and most excitingly two of the band members got together (James Breen, drummer, and Claire Northey, violinist) and had two kids! So there are Breakfast of Champions humans out there too!”

Gold Vinyl LP + Bonus Vinyl 7" £24.99 Add to basket

RSD Black Friday 2023 Release

Tuff City is pleased to present the best possible reissue program of Hip-Hop's first decade. These reissues were made as a tribute to Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary. Each volume represents an important facet of performers on Tuff City: The Solo MC’s, The MC Crews, The DJ’s and The Female MC’s. Each volume features an inner sleeve with liner notes and bonus 7” insert.

The series was also conceptualized as a multiset release to stand side by side with the classic Old School Rarities series (The Funky Drum Jams, The Electro Jams, The Linn Drum Jams & The Disco Jams) issued by our Ol’ Skool Flava imprint.

The MC Crews starts with the innovative scratch legend from the Bronx, Grand Wizard Theodore with the Fantastic Romantic 5. The classic “Can I Get A Soul Clap?” features a live rhythm section. Spoonie Gee with the Treacherous Three (including Kool Moe Dee) is a relentless tour-de-force that popularized the freestyle concept. A much sought-after 1986 remix of the 1980 “High Power Rap” from The Crash Crew closes out the first side. New Jersey is well represented with “Flavor Unit Assassination Squad.” The Flavor Unit produced by 45 King features Lakim Shabazz, Lord Alibaski, Apache, Double J and Queen Latifah at the turn of the 90’s. The Undefeated Three represent the Grand Concourse section of the Bronx with “U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D.” The bonus single features PHD from Queensbridge with an appearance from Havoc from Mobb Deep. The flip side is a freestyle from Bed-Sty's Freddy B & The Mighty Mic Masters.

GET ON DOWN EXCLUSIVE

PRESSED ON PURPLE SWIRL AND SMOKE COLOURED VINYL, PACKAGED IN A GATEFOLD JACKET WITH NUMBERED OBI LIMITED TO 2000 COPIES

The Lost Tapes originally released on September 23, 2002, is a compilation of Nas tracks he recorded from 1998 to 2001 during the recording sessions of I AM.. and Stillmatic. Several of the cuts were leaked and circulated on mixtapes, but were never properly mastered or commercially released until compiled for The Lost Tapes. The album features production by The Alchemist, L.E.S., Poke and Tone, Rockwilder, D-Dot and Precision.

When The Lost Tapes was finally released, it instantly made waves. Even with its collection of already-recorded and unused material, it managed to be cohesive and profound, propelling it to reach the status of a classic album. The Lost Tapes marked a crucial time in Nas’ discography, serving as a precursor to his 2003 album God’s Son. His development as an artist was certainly prominent during the making of The Lost Tapes, which allowed him to flourish and become one of the most successful and highly regarded hip-hop artists of all time.

Get On Down is proud to present this limited edition 20 year anniversary pressing of The Lost Tapes for the first time on vinyl since its original release in 2002.

GET ON DOWN EXCLUSIVE

PRESSED ON DOUBLE COLOURED VINYL IN A GATEFOLD JACKET WITH 25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE OBI LIMITED TO 2000 COPIES

Big Pun remains on the best rappers ever list to this day. Reasons for this weigh largely on his debut Capital Punishment which was released 25 years ago on April 28, 1998. His commanding voice and rapid fire delivery make it clear there will never be another Big Pun. Pun was New York. His confidence on the mic made him stand out among his contemporaries. Similarly, the production -- by a cast of many – remains ever so New York loyal. The close cousins "Im Not a Player" and "Still Not a Player", may have been the hits off this album but it is packed with so many more that show Pun's true abilities.

To commemorate the 25th Anniversary Get On Down is proud to present this limited edition that contains a new colored 2xLP presing in a brand new gatefold package with a double sided OBI that folds out into a mini poster.

Heard and Unheard was created using a semi-modular synthesizer, several effects processors and a pair of analogue drum machines. The album is made up of ten reflective and hypnotic tracks with emphasis on texture and atmosphere – both music to lose yourself to, and music to get lost in.

He has since made a name for himself in the underground electronic and dance music scenes, releasing music on Eglo and All City, among others.

Entry #4: Dan Ubick (Connie Price & The Keystones, The Lions) explores the realms of Dramatic Soul.

Dan Ubick is best known as Connie Price, generally found playing with his band The Keystones. But here he's been invited to indulge in a different kind of pursuit by none other than Madly and Stones Throw driving force Egon. They started the Madlib Invazion Library Series to invite certain talented friends to indulge a particular sound in the particular mindset of library music and for Ubick that meant exploring the depth and breadth of something he calls canyon funk. The name is quite explanatory and here you get some heavy funk grooves laced through with Ubick's twanging guitar for a sound which splits the difference between country and funk and comes off sounding like the consummate library album in the process.

*Preorder Vinyl LP £25.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 15th December 2023

Now-Again Records presents catalogue-wide reissues of Latin music propellant Joe Bataan’s legendary Ghetto Records.

Next up in the series - one of the label’s most lauded recordings containing epic examples of Big Band Salsa, Horace Silver-flavored Modal Jazz and Soulful Grooves - masterminded by a young Bobby RodrÌguez with vocals by Papo Felix.

Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s way to get over on “The Man” and out of the ‘hood, a bold move by an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. As Bataan puts it today, “Ghetto Records was part of my journey, a stepping stone to everything else that I’ve done. I learned enough that it enabled me to get out of the box with my thinking, it showed me how to deal with adversity.” Like many dreams and schemes born of the street, this one was audacious, perhaps even reckless to a fault. Hatched from desperation yet full of hope Ghetto Records came crashing down shortly after its inception.

The seven albums in its discography languished out of print - until now. These are the definitive reissues of these albums, licensed from Joe Bataan, with his oversight and input into a 16 page oversize book by Pablo Yglesias that details Bataan’s larger-than-imagination life and his little Latin label that could.

In 1973, with the release of ‘Second Time Round’, Cymande solidified their place in music history. As children of the Windrush Generation, they were part of the first wave of innovators and originators of the fledgling Black British music scene. Taking influences from their Guyanese and Jamaican roots, the band fused reggae basslines, Afro- tinged Nyabinghi percussion, psychedelic rock touches, and American style funk instrumentation into a unique sound they dubbed as ‘Nyah-rock’.

Recorded while the band was fresh off a US tour with Al Green, ‘Second Time Around’ was the follow up to their self-titled debut and firmly planted the band in the ears of an adoring US audience. Their debut was the first UK soul album to land on the Billboard charts, and ‘Second Time Round’ placed them back on the US charts again. They were also the first British band to ever play the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.

‘Second Time Around’ is reissued via Partisan Records on Transparent Emerald Green vinyl with gatefold jacket. ? EU dates in April 2024, with dates in Australia and Japan to follow.

Track Listing:

Side A - Seamoon Rising | Instafuzz | Triple Denim | Green Means Go | Right Left | 96 Tiers

The story of Ultrasonic Grand Prix is one of two vintage 60s guitars and their owners. I love my 1967 Vox Grand Prix guitar,” declares multi-instrumentalist/producer Shawn Lee - creator, among other feats, of the soundtrack for Rockstar video game classic Bully, and one half of Ultrasonic Grand Prix. “It is a serious beast and an important part of my arsenal. Every tone you need…’

For guitar maestro Barrie Cadogan - of Nottingham Freakbeaters Little Barrie, best known for the main title theme of ‘Better Call Saul’, The The, Liam Gallagher and playing on the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’ - it was the Vox Ultrasonic, also from the same period, that caught his eye. “I first became interested in Vox guitars because of people who used them like Spacemen 3 and the James Brown band of the late 60’s”, he explains, “but it was when I was part of a recording session at Anton Newcombe’s studio in Berlin that I had chance to get to know the Vox gear better. I was borrowing an Ultrasonic from a friend for a while and Shawn already had his Grand Prix. I thought it would be a good name for our project whenever we got it going.’

It was with this shared passion for these weapons of vintage, psychedelic gold that the suave, velvety, and off-kilter cool of INSTAFUZZ was born. While a project born of recent times, the flames of INSTAFUZZ were first ignited all the way back in 2010, where the two met during mixing sessions for Little Barrie’s 2011 LP King of the Waves.

PRESALE - Your Old Droog - The Yodfather/The Shining (Nature Sounds)

Preorder Vinyl LP SOLD OUT

Estimated Shipping Date: 1st December 2023

Here comes Brooklyn's finest, Your Old Droog, with a double feature of EPs previously confined to Bandcamp. Natures Sounds have gathered together 2022's The Yodfather and The Shining and pressed them up on a platter and there's no doubt both releases are more than worthy of the extra shine. While you might expect such cinema-referencing projects to be loaded with bait samples, Droog works in more subtle ways, laying down his killer flows over those blunted, off-kilter beats that mark him out as one of the strongest voices in US hip-hop right now.

Track Listing:

1. WW3 Freestyle 2. Tony Touch Freestyle 3. David Bowie Freestyle 4. Francis Ford Coppola 5. Droogie-La 6. Zubin Mehta / Munchos Freestyle 7. 90 From The Line Pt III 8. North Face With The ACGs 9. Fresh Direct 10. Brinks Truck 11. We On The Tarmac 12. Room 237 (feat. Che Noir) 13. Red Rum (feat. Rockness Monsta and Tha God Fahim) 14. Here's Johnny 15. The Hedge Maze

PRESALE - Atmosphere - Talk Talk (Rhymesayers)

Preorder Pink Vinyl LP £20.99 Add to basket

Estimated Shipping Date: 1st December 2023

Vinyl packaging includes a 12” matte gatefold jacket featuring artwork by Matthew Custar, housing an opaque pink color vinyl.

For a second I was hoping that Atmosphere were going to cover Mark Hollis's lot on this EP but the title is just coincidental and what we have instead is the duo of Slug and Ant going back to their electro-rap roots. It celebrates rap's connection to disco in the 1970s and in particular its nods to the electronic likes of Kraftwerk and Egyptian Lover.

Track Listing:

Wetter | Attachings | Rotary Telephone | Don’t Mind Me | Where I’m/You’re At | Hear Hear feat. Bat Flower | Hello Pete feat. Buck 65 & Kool Keith | Make Party Politics | Traveling Forever
