Just got the new SHINDIG in for you little darlings this weekend, plus the new Ugly Things if you didn’t get that one yet. ALSO just in, a repressing of the original IGGY – SICK OF YOU 45 on Bomp! Our pressing plant found the original stampers and a box of the sleeves, so we had the last-ever run of those pressed up.

Plus I’ve been digging around in the last few the last boxes of vintage books and mags and added a few more items, listed below.

Also just added, a “LAST FIVE ON ALIVE” bundle for all of you new fans of the label that want to complete your collection. Be sure to subscribe to the ALIVE Youtube channel for the latest videos of your favorite bands, and hear samples and get tour dates and news on the main ALIVE site.

Next up on ALIVE, the incredible SULFUR CITY, our first female fronted band on the label! From the bio… “fronted by singer/electric washboard player Lori Paradis, Canadian band Sulfur City comes roaring out of your speakers with echoes of Grace Slick, Patti Smith and Janis Joplin. This is no wimpy chick rock! Sulfur City is the first female-fronted band on Alive, and their balls-to-thewall, high-energy gritty blues style fits right in with label mates like the Black Keys and Left Lane Cruiser.” Out in early May and already reviewed in Popmatters and with upcoming features in The Blues and Glide magazine. Get ready!

Thanks to all of you for supporting our label. Now, buy something, ok??

ALLAN, DAVIE AND THE ARROWS - Retrophonic ( 60s surf instro ) - Label:ARROW DYNAMIC Throughout the '60s, Davie Allan established himself as the King of the Fuzz Guitar via his classic guitar instrumentals for some two dozen exploitation films. His manic, buzz-saw guitar tone became the sonic trademark of a whole subgenre, the biker movie. One of his instrumental hits "Blues’ Theme" from The Wild Angels, remains an evocative instrumental classic.
Davie continues to record not only his own compositions, but also classic tunes known to all audiences. His latest CD “Retrophonic” features brand new tracks with Dusty Watson on drums and Sam Bolle on bass along with many previously unreleased tracks featuring four original Arrows. CD $12 SKU:10946


CATHERINE’S HORSE- Garage Blues from Connecticut SAALE - Label:BREAK- A-WAY RECORDS (Germany) Due to a long time growing interest into local 60s rock, most band stories, even of those who did put out rare and local records, have since been written. Not so with Connecticut band Catherine´s Horse. Their sole album dates from 1969 and was released only in an inner sleeve and no cover. Due to its rarity it is still a largely unknown release among today's record collectors and honoured with five stars in Hans Pokora’s “1001 Record Collectors Dream Book”. But those who happen to be familiar with it, appreciate it for the fresh sound of the music and the clear production. That and the fact, that it’s an amazing white blues rock album with a strong garage attitude provided by five high school students who never played professionally. The tracks are nearly all cover versions of classic, often moody blues tracks reminiscent of early Paul Butterfield Blues Band or Blues Project. The LP incl. long time standards such as “Good Morning Little School Girl”, “Think Twice”, “One More Mile” or “Can’t Keep From Cryin” mixed with covers of Jimmy Brenstons’ “Rocket 88” or Jagger / Richards “Good Times, Bad Times”. The only group original ''Sun Going Down'' hints at the talent and potential the band had and rounds off the groups effortless white electric bluesrock expertise. As the vinyl release from 15 month ago, this CD release comes with the originally intended coloured cover-art. The detailed booklet has the band’s history as related by original members Roger Goodspeed, Jay Geary and Putnam Smith, alongside rare photos and memorabilia. A 100% legit release and a must for late 60s rock collectors.

REAL KIDS- Grown Up Wrong ( proto-punk/power pop rockers ) - Label:NORTON Boston's proto-punk/power pop rockers the Real Kids have been lionized as legendary through the years that have passed since their short, original run. The few studio recordings they released officially during their lifespan contain great, hook-ridden songs but don't hint at the true ferocity that fans who caught them "back in the day" swear to. Luckily, Norton Records has blessed the world with Grown Up Wrong, and this incredible live document confirms that every bit of ancient hyperbole about the Kids was true. The tracks are culled from a live radio broadcast, unreleased soundboard tapes, and the band's two tracks from the seminal Live at the Rat compilation; the Real Kids prove to be just as sweaty and explosive as rumored, far more visceral than their studio recordings ever suggested. LP $12 SKU:2498

In 1979 they released an amazing 7” ("TEDDY CRASHES BLOND DIES / SOME OTHER BOYS") now totally impossible to find. Their sound was directly inspired from bands such NY Dolls and Heartbreakers. Pure NYC punk’n’ roll sensations!!!

UNITED TRAVEL SERVICE - Wind and Stone ( long overdue legacy of 60s Northwest psych band ) - Label:BREAKAWAY VINYL ONLY RELEASE! Dateline 1966 - the Pacific Northwest of the USA - a hotbed for numerous local and regional bands following the tradition of the renowned North West Fratrock of the Kingsmen or the uncompromising Rock & Roll of The Sonics and Wailers. Not so the United Travel Service. They were sadly overlooked at the time but are now revered for their two brilliant, killer folkadelic 45 releases "Wind And Stone b/w Drummer Of Your Mind" and "Gypsy Eyes b/w Echo Of You". The UTS were mainly influenced by the San Francisco scene, Garage Rock and the Byrds. Their high quality repertoire, written by guitarist Ben Hoff and produced by New Tweedy Brothers producer Rick Keefer, would have made a classic local psychedelic album if released back then. But it was not to be. Break-A-Way presents for the first time, a collection of the bands rare 45s, along with five more, until now unreleased studio recordings, plus three home demos. There is also included a detailed history of the band stuffed with rare photos and labels from the members scrapbook. All that is on a 4-page LP sized insert printed on fully glossy paper. LP comes in a full coloured cover and is mastered at Klangstudio Leyh. At last, here is the long overdue legacy of one of the Northwests finest psychedelic bands. LP $21 SKU:10299
