We’re getting lots of shipments arriving for you guys, in spite of everything! This weekend we have some more of those imports you love so much, check it all out below. More in from the garage/psych label DIONYSUS too, lots of chaepo cds and even $1 items.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT OUR BANDS FROM SUZY SHAW!

The lockdown has been devastating for our bands, who rely largely on touring to make their living, but they must now rely solely on royalties, which are meager in these days of streaming. We’re giving them advances on future royalties to help them make it thru, but it’s going to be a struggle for them. So please check out the tunes on ALIVE and do what you can to help out, every record sale is money for them to feed themselves and their families. Many of our bands are also streaming live concerts and asking for donations (you can find the info on the Facebook sites of the specific bands).

In addition to all that, the already struggling record stores may never recover, and I know of several record distributors who also may never return, this was the final blow. The music business is a heap of smoldering ashes at this point, sadly.

Do what you can!
THANKS GUYS

LUTHER -N- THE B.B.B.'S- BEST OF, VOL. 1Label:LAKESIDE MUSIC "This is an oddly fascinating record, as it covers the nearly two-decade career of a band all but unheard of outside of a 25-mile radius of Rochester, NY. These 25 tracks, recorded between 1982 and 1997, include such parochial standbys as a Christmas single, a radio jingle for a local business, and a snippet of live tape recorded at a dance marathon at the University of Rochester. Holtzman's other songs are genial guitar pop along the lines of the Raspberries, Shoes, or other Beatles-fixated power poppers of the '70s." ~Stewart Mason/Allmusic.com CD $19 SKU:22672

ROCKINITIS, VOL. 3-Electric Blues From The Rock'N'Roll Era-Label:STAG O LEE The 'Rockinitis' series showcases electric guitar blues from the mid-fifties to the early sixties. Unfettered pleasure in the form of black dance music. Third time's the charm as two heavy-hitters join the fray. Wexford, Ireland's Bill Kealy has been packing dancefloors for 30 years. He was sucked deep into the rhythm & blues vortex after following the trail back from the music of his youth: The Kinks, The Animals and the like. A truly international DJ, hear his sets at The Federal Rhythm & Blues Club in Crewe, For Dancers Only in Dublin, or as a regular guest DJ at top R&B clubs almost everywhere. Steve Longworth spent his teenage years dancing to soul at Wigan Casino. He was then drawn towards the R&B and popcorn sound. Since the early 2000s he's been running nights all across England's North - Soulful Shack, Down In The Basement andThe Ad-Lib, to name a few. He's played gritty blues 45s at clubs from Barcelona to Melbourne and now regularly spins atSheffield's mighty Room At The Top. COMP LP $22 SKU:22684

CYNICS- Living is the Best Revenge (60s style garage)Label:GET HIP Living Is The Best Revenge CD completes the jumpstart upon my Ray-O-Vac heart. Alongside the two above-referenced originals and the Prunes tune are stellar covers of the Satans and the 13th Floor Els (what would a Cynics album be without the band genuflecting before the sonic teats that have nourished them since their cub scout years?) plus a slew of prime Cyns’ skree. Among my picks to click are the malevolent, iPsycho”-edged “The Tone” and the interstellar hard rock jam “Shine” which sounds like Coltrane crossed with the old Alice Cooper Group. But there ain’t a duff track in the bunch, and all I can close this appreciation with is — boy fuggin’ howdy!-Fred Mills, assoc. ed., MAGNET Magazine CD $10 SKU:10900

DEEP REDUCTION - 2 W Radio Birdman’s DENIZ TEK)Label:GET HIP Deep Reduction pays tribute to everything from delta blues to Led Zeppelin to ’70s Punk and Pop with Deniz Tek’s signature guitar mastery. Deep Reduction came to be when Radio Birdman’s Deniz Tek was asked to produce the latest Stump Wizards record, “Contains Lead.” The band and the producer hit it off well and the first Deep Reduction single, “Black Tulip” was the result. Recorded during breaks in the action, it was a spontaneous burst of energy that resulted in this follow-up full length. Sure, this record has it’s roots in Tek’s classic Radio Birdman days and the Stump Wizards mutant punk/hard rock sound, but it really is something entirely new and different and something to be reckoned with. CD $10 SKU:22325

MYSTIC EYES-OUR TIME TO LEAVE! (primal‘60s garage rock sound.)Label:GET HIP 4 bonus tracks. If ever there was a band that could do justice to a ‘60s folk-rock chestnuts like “Clam Me Down,” it’s the Mystic Eyes. And on this LP, they prove it yet again. “Clam Me Down” is not only faithful to the original in form and delivery, but also recreates the feel of the primal ‘60s garage rock sound.
