"Raven presents for the first time on one CD two of his finest ever albums: Southbound (1975) and Fearless (1976).

Daniel Wylie - 'Car Guitar Star'
subba-cultcha.com: "Wylie’s third solo album gives the listener uplifting sunshine pop that isn’t a million miles away from the type Cosmic Rough Riders produced. Car Guitar Star sounds much more Californian than Scottish, drawing in many different American influences throughout the course of the album. There are the Eagles-esque melodies of You Go There, or the way Wylie’s voice sounds a little like country legend Gram Parsons on the title track, or the psychedelic 60s pop of You’re Not The Only One, with its arpeggiated keys and double-tracked, almost drone-like, vocals..."

Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians - Boxes & CDs
"The second in a series of Robyn Hitchcock retrospective box sets from Yep Roc, the five-disc 'Luminous Groove' box set shines a light on Robyn's rock & roll renaissance with the Egyptians. 'Fegmania!' is a return to band format, showcasing the new outfit through sonic tapestries around Hitchcock's signature skittered melodies and private lyrics. On 'Element of Light', The Egyptians glide between regal pop and driving psychedelia, resulting in one of the most deliberate and nuanced college rock records of the decade. 'Gotta Let This Hen Out!' captures a blazing live set by the Egyptians from London's Marquee club in early 1985. All three albums contain new bonus tracks exclusive to Luminous Groove. In addition to these three seminal albums, the set also includes two exclusive bonus discs entitled 'Bad Case of History' which features previously unreleased studio recordings, including the final 1994 sessions, and a CD of unheard live material" Click on the following links to check the tracks and to 'pre-order': 1) 'Luminous Grove' 5 CD Box for £36.99 2) 'Luminous Grove' 8 x Vinyl LP Box Set for £69.99) Vinyl due next week(Eight 180 gram vinyl LPs in individual jackets packaged in a heavy board box.

Harmonia - Deluxe (Immer Weider)/Monza (Rauf Und Runter) 7" vinyl This is the only 'HARMONIA' 7" single ever released (1975).

Stereolab - 'Chemical Chords'
'Chemical Chords' is the ninth LP from multinational indie-pop stalwarts Stereolab. After a long and varied career that has seen myriad sound evolutions, the band has uncluttered their sound somewhat with this release, with shorter songs and a more direct approach in the studio. The songwriting product of very tight time constraints, 'Chemical Chords' is leaner and poppier than recent albums. The remaining constants are still Laetita Sadier's cool vocals, warm washes of Moog synthesizers 'Chemical and, notably, auxiliary instrumental arrangements by former Stereolab/current High Llamas member Sean O'Hagan. Click to buy from the following formats 1) Standard CD for £11.99. 2) Ltd Edition CD for £12.99 (comes in gatefold sleeve with 2 bonus tracks). 3) Vinyl for £14.99. Released August 18th.

The extra heavy prog. sound beats most albums in the same direction coming from 'Battle Hymn Of The Broken Hearted Horde' dates from 1971. This album has all the wonderful excesses of early progressive rock; the deep "meaningful" poetry, spoken words, majestic organ-playing, sound effects, choirs, long guitar solos, etc.’. 3) 'Galactic Vibes' dates from 1972 and is the third and last Freedom's Children album.

'The Unreleased First Polydor Album' This CD Edition limited to 5000 copies. "Even when longtime friend Charlie Daniels turned up, holding the key to the studio in one hand, and the promise of a Polydor recording contract in the other, Buchanan was not impressed. The sessions which commenced in October 1969 at Nashville’s Woodland Studios, would not be completed until February 1971, simply because Buchanan was unwilling to stay away from home for long. The label apparently rejected the first album Roy delivered; who knows why. Not long thereafter, Buchanan returned to the studio with a new producer, and cut the four tracks that close this album. Everything fell into place. The four tracks still shiver with the electric excitement that crackled through the Polydor offices once the tapes were delivered" £16.99.

The Late - 'Songs From The Family Tree'

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - 'Kate & Anna McGarrigle'
"Kate & Anna McGarrigle's 1975 debut, which is as lovely and superbly realized as folk-rock gets. While producers Joe Boyd and Greg Prestopino assembled an all-star crew to back up the McGarrigle sisters (including Lowell George, Tony Levin, Steve Gadd, and Bobby Keys), nothing steals the spotlight away from Kate and Anna, both of whom sing with a pure clarity that's never so pretty it fails to reflect the real world, harmonize with an uncanny grace, and write songs that are clever, witty, wise, and often deeply moving" £5.99
John Sebastian - 'Tarzana Kid'

Rodriguez - 'Cold Fact' (CD/LP)
Lots of great press about this one...."He recorded Cold Fact – his debut album – in 1969, and released it in March 1970. It’s crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late ‘60s inner-city America. “Gun sales are soaring/Housewives find life boring/Divorce the only answer/Smoking causes cancer,” says the Dylan-esque Establishment Blues. But the album sank without trace, thanks, in part, to some of Rodriguez’s more idiosyncratic behavior, like performing at an industry showcase with his back to the audience throughout....Some rumors said he’d died of a heroin overdose or burned to death on stage, but the tide began to turn in 1996, when journalist Craig Bartholemew got to the bottom of the mystery. After many dead ends, he found Rodriguez alive, well, free and perfectly sane in Detroit, ending years of speculation. Now, Light In The Attic is set to commit Cold Fact to CD for audiences in the UK and America, who can finally find out why – halfway across the world – Rodriguez is spoken of in the same reverent tones as The Doors, Love and Jimi Hendrix" Click to 'pre-order': 1) CD for £10.99 and 2) Vinyl LP for £17.99 Released September 8th.

Big Brother & the Holding Company - 'Big Brother..
'Big Brother & the Holding Company' (High-Definition Vinyl LP) Mono Edition From Sundazed "...the high-definition vinyl reissue of the ultra-rare mono edition of Big Brother & the Holding Company’s 1967 debut. Besides being the album that introduced the world to Janis Joplin, Big Brother & the Holding Company’s first release stands as one of the classic recordings of ’60s rock. Joplin had added her fiery wail to the archetypal Haight-Ashbury acid-rock quintet only months before it entered the studio to make the album, and for the sessions she shares vocal duties with bassist Peter Albin and guitarist Sam Andrew. But, thanks to the LP’s raging single, “Down on Me,” it was immediately clear to radio audiences of the time that the Texas-born singer was a new force to be reckoned with" Cut from the original mono masters, this Sundazed edition adds two scarce single-only sides. Released October 20th. for £14.99
