The new SHINDIG has arrived, along with a bunch of other goodies for you.
Regarding the launch of our beautiful new shopping cart yesterday, we had the usual first day issues, including a faulty promo code, problems with connecting to our security certificate, temporarily causing some customers to get a message saying we were an “untrusted site“ (yikes!) and some crazy overseas postage issues, so if you had any problems yesterday, try again.I have my brilliant tech, Josh, here working with me, I flew him down from Portland for the launch, and it’s all working very nicely now. We are offering a 10% discount thru tomorrow, promo code NEWSTORE15, if you want to do some shopping.
Thanks for the biz guys, and for the kind words on our new store.
Best,
Suzy Shaw

CRIME -7X7 BOX SET w booklet plus CD- Label:MUNSTERDespite having independently released the first punk rock single on the US west coast, Crime's legend has never spread beyond a comparatively small but extremely adamant cult. The fact that they only released three singles during their existence is certainly a factor in the lack of recognition afforded them. Probably more significant is the fact that Crime's music and image set them apart from what soon became discernable as the typical punk rock scene. The amphetamine blues lead guitar bursts that responded to the vocal lines in nearly every song, as well as the frequently dispassionate vocals, set them apart from the bandwagon-jumping art-schoolers (who were all too often devoid of rock and roll attitude), as did their carefully cultivated look and their anti-social attitude. Crime compiles the complete recorded legacy of the band fans have come to refer to as San Francisco's first and only rock and roll band. It includes three facsimile reproductions of Crime's original singles and four more 7"s featuring ten tracks recorded from 1977 through '79 and unreleased at the time, among them a "Be Bop a Lula/Peggy Sue" medley unavailable elsewhere until now. The records are accompanied by a 20-page booklet with an extensive band interview by Michael Lucas, photos and memorabilia, plus a special text written by film director and Crime fan Jeff Feuerzeig (The Devil and Daniel Johnston). Includes a CD with all 16 tracks. 45 RPM $72 SKU:16492
YOUNG SINCLAIRS - Change Your Mind(powerpop ) -Label:13 O CLOCK BW Once or Twice.Hot on the heels of their new album on Ample Play comes a new single from The Young Sinclairs!This top-notch two-sider finds the Roanoke, Virginia-based group in peak form as they display their signature sound: a mixture of jangly folk rock diffused through a prism of paisley pop, and accentuated at times by garage, powerpop, and mod moves. The key equation to their sound is thoroughly demonstrated on the A side of this single, a jangly Byrdsian folk rock song with spot-on vocal harmonies, steeped heavily in the pot of Rain Parade-style paisley underground pop. On the flipside, the group adds thick dollops of powerpop to this mixture, rounding out what rest assured is a single to stay in constant rotation on turntables everywhere!“Beautiful 60's-inspired folk-pop” - Carrie Quartly, Louder Than War “A band with an impressive ability to evoke the music of the masters without coming across as derivative” - Nathan Ford, The Active Listener“If the 70's perfect power-pop bands actually existed in the 60's they might hope to sound like these new mad mod modulators” - Waymon Timbsdayle, Rocktober 45 RPM $7 SKU:16311

The Arizona music scene during the sixties can easily be likened to its desert surroundings: The monotony of average and sometimes even good bands writing less than good and even average songs. Then one day you hear a band that knocks you out. Those are the kinds of bands that I had the opportunity to discover and produce that suddenly emerged out of garages and other little holes in walls ? wherever they could find a place to converge and create their music. I now have the honor and the privilege to present to you the bands that I think are Arizona's best garage bands from 1967 to 1970.' -- Hadley Murrell. "At an age when most of us were just listening to music, Hadley Murrell got involved. At 14 he started playing drums with The Carnations, and went on to work in radio, as well promoting shows and other live events. Much of what he made went towards studio time to produce the music heard in this collection. Often garage rock is under produced to its detriment. That's not the case here, Murrell recorded at Phoenix's Audio Records, other clients included Dwayne Eddy, Dyke & The Blazers and Waylon Jennings (among many others). And unlike many garage rock sides ? Hadley took his performers into the studio prepared and ready to lay down tracks as hot as the Arizona desert.

JADE- Faces of(Ltd ed reissue of 1971 power pop sought after collectors item ) -Label:SHAKE ITReissue of Jades' (Cincinnati, OH) tough-to-find nugget from 1971 - one of the most highly sought-after "Beatles-Impact" records among psych, power-pop and Beatlescollectors. Pressed on green wax. Limited to 500. Jade's Faces of Jade album is a tough-to-find Cincinnati-area nugget from 1971. Since being "barely" released on the original Cincinnati-based GAR Label, it has become one of the most highly sought-after "Beatles-Impact" records among psych, power-pop and, of course, Beatles collectors. After a bit of sleuthing, Shake It tracked down the members and are proud to give it a proper and awesome-sounding vinyl reissue of their sole pop-psych / Revolver/Revoler-esque classic.Highly touted on/in Acid Archives, Tyme Machine & more.“This came to me with an 'underrated' tag attached, and I'm inclined to agree. It's late '60s Brit-psych/pop of the McCartney/Roy Wood variety, transplanted to 1970s Cincinnati, serving up plenty of innovation, fun and a fair amount of label money on hand. Opens with a dreamy psych mini-epic that recalls the second Fallen Angels album, the rest holds a middle ground between London '68 and the clever pop that Ohio would become famous for, leaving the listener to decide if this is a late '60s lyte-psych LP or in fact an Anglo-retro '70s trip. Lots of piano, 'Penny Lane' fanfares, high-pitched teen harmonies and unexpected studio tricks. One of the best in the style.” -- Acid Archives LP$18 SKU:16422
SONICS- Boom ( 60’s garage ) GATEFOLD- Label:NORTONThe Sonics' second album is every bit as explosive and influential as their debut outing, loaded with gritty Northwest rock & roll. Sandwiched in between the abrasive classics of "Cinderella" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (with the Wailers on backing vocals), the funk sass of "The Hustler" and "Shot Down," the demonic "He's Waitin'," and the sledgehammer, inside-out version of "Louie, Louie" (only three chords to play and they don't even play 'em) are the band's straight-ahead takes on old R&B chestnuts like "Skinny Minnie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Don't You Just Know It," "Since I Fell for You," "Hitch Hike," and a nice barn-burning version of "Jenny Jenny." Where the Wailers cut down the trees and paved the highway, the Sonics were the first group from their neck of the woods to take that music somewhere wilder than their original inspirations. The second chapter of Northwest rock & roll after you absorb the Wailers' Golden Crest sides. -allmusic.com LP$15 SKU:152

CHILDREN OF THE MUSHROOM- ST( Rare garage 60s psychFold-out colour insert with liner notes, interview with the band members, and rare photos. ) -Label:OUT-SIDER (SPAIN) Though they only released one 45 during their existence, Children of the Mushroom epitomized the psychedelic garage sound coming out of California in the late '60s. Formed in Thousand Oaks by Jerry McMillen and Dennis Swansen, they evolved from a mid-'60s teen-beat band called The Captives. In 1967, they became Children of the Mushroom, a name which reflected their new psychedelic sound and image. The following year, they caught the attention of a couple of young producers, who signed the band for a 45 release. Recorded in 1968 for Soho Records, August Mademoiselle/You Can't Erase a Mirror is one of the masterpieces from the first psychedelic era: feedback, fuzz, organ, and mysterious vocals. Soon after, the band incorporated a new guitar player, shortened their name to The Mushroom and started playing in a more heavy psych vein, in a similar style to Iron Butterfly. This retrospective album includes both tracks from their monster 45, with sound taken from the master recordings, plus previously unreleased tracks by The Mushroom, recorded in 1968. These are raw, lo-fi home recordings with lots of fuzz guitar and organ. It's the sound of a psychedelic band in 1968 playing free and wild, without any producer or record label executive telling them what to do. An incredible document. Remastered sound. Fold-out colour insert with liner notes, interview with the band members, and rare photos. CD$18 SKU:16348

ARCESIA-Reachin' ( rare 70’s private press acid-rock/ pop, gatefold, w insert and lyrics -Label:GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN) A classic since year zero of rare record collecting, Reachin' Arcesia has always been the focus of many rumors and bizarre stories. Guerssen sets the record straight with this, the first ever legitimate reissue of this legendary album.

The album was released in a private edition of 300 copies and most of them were given away to family and friends. In the late '80s, one of those copies was unearthed by record dealer Paul Major, who was one of the first people to appreciate the singularity of Reachin' Arcesia. Since then, the album, which mixes over-the-top crooner vocals with late '60s acid-rock and pop arrangements, has developed a reputation as a lounge-psych/real people masterpiece. Remastered and presented in a gatefold sleeve with the original artwork on the back and a new cover design on the front. Includes insert with lyrics.
