1000MODS - CHEAT DEATH (2LP)
Fifth full-length album from Greek heavy rock pioneers 1000mods. 'Cheat Death' is a sonic juggernaut, featuring ten explosive tracks that seamlessly blend pulverizing metal riffs, raw punk energy, and a dose of bold alt-rock experimentation. From the colossal opener 'Overthrown' to the album's emotionally charged closing anthem, 1000mods deliver a
masterclass in heavy rock with precision and grit, while pushing the boundaries of their sound into uncharted territory. The result is an album brimming with intensity, power, and a renewed sense of purpose - one destined to be a milestone in their already legendary career.

ASSUMPCAO, RUBINHO E MAURO - PERFEITAMENTE, JUSTAMENTE QUANDO CHEGUEI
Rubinho e Mauro Assumpçao's 'Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei' has to be up there as one of the finest Brazilian-psych-folk-MPB records. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find in the wild; even on digging trips to Brazil, an original copy rarely shows up, and when it does, it comes with a hefty price tag. This highly sought-after rarity was released on the Brazilian label Tapecar Records in 1972 and is the one and only album by the sensational pairing of Rubinho and Mauro Assumpçao. Effortlessly blending folk, MPB, funky-psych, rock, and relaxed, swaggering samba, this record ought to be heralded as a true Brazilian classic. However, maybe due to its scarcity and the previous reissue predominantly being only available to the Brazilian market, it has not had a chance to fully shine and find the wider audience it deserves. Through Mr Bongo's reissue they hope to put things right. Fans of records by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges are sure to enjoy the same magic and allure in 'Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei.' In addition to being the album's songwriters, Mauro Assumpçao took on the role of producer and Rubinho was co-producer as well as playing piano, organ, acoustic guitar and performing vocals. The record features the drummer Gegê who worked with Milton Nascimento, Edu Lobo, Nana Caymmi, Dom Um Romao and more. It also features guitarist Rick Ferreira, who played with Erasmo Carlos, Gal Costa and other greats. Rounding off the players on the album are Darcy Da Cruz and Formiga who have graced many a fine recording on horns. 'Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei' is a truly stunning work that washes over you with beauty. Delve in and savour. Licensed via Tapecar Records.

EPIQ - PAS BRAVO LA VIANDE
Unconventional world/punk-rock three-piece EPIQ combine bass, drums, balafon and traditional African singing. A daring and successful move that highlights unfailing inspiration and undeniable rhythmic skills. If the punk-rock energy is ear-splitting, it is without counting on the originality of the
project which allies world music's primitive effervescence and metal music's raw opacity. As a result, a deep, eclectic and tumultuous groove, carried by exhilarating vocal featurings. 'Pas Bravo La Viande' is a consistent synthesis of the trio's
sonic openness and strength. FFO: Goat, Soulfly, Shellac, Fela Kuti.

FULL TONE GENERATOR - VALLEY OF THE UNIVERSE
Available again. The debut album by Full Tone Generator (Andy Fernando: guitar, bass, vocals, Brad Young: guitar, bass, backing vox, Brant Bjork: drums, backing vox) plays out like a love letter to the desert/stoner rock genre where Brant Bjork has become legendary for. Inspired by bands such as Kyuss, Fu Manchu and some of Brant's solo work. The album which was produced by Brant Bjork and Bubba Dupree has a darker tone that you wouldn't expect from the desert/stoner rock genre. The music is a mixture of psych, fuzz, stoner, punk, desert rock and hard rock which allows 'Valley Of The Universe' to be completely different especially on the later stages of the album..

ISHIKAWA, AKIRA -& COUNT BUFFALOES- - UGANDA (DAWN OF ROCK)
The respected Japanese jazz drummer Akira Ishikawa was not messing around when he recorded the 'Uganda (Dawn Of Rock)' album with his band the Count Buffaloes. For this offering, originally released in 1972 on Toshiba Records, Akira Ishikawa takes us on a deep tripped-out journey. 'Uganda (Dawn Of Rock)' is a fusion of progressive and psych rock with African percussion workouts, dergy-wah wah blues-funk, and jazzy sensibilities; with different genres morphing and uniting as they progress. A long way from his funk and Afrobeat album 'Back To Rhythm,' reissued on Mr Bongo in 2019, this record has a darker, deeper, abstract and experimental stoned tone with the listener being pulled into its vortex for the ride. This record doesn't pull any punches. For this album, Akira is joined by Hideaki Chihara on bass, guitarist Kimio Mizutani, sounding at times like an early '70s Peter Green, percussionist Larry Sunaga and composer Takeru Muraoka. The album has become highly sought-after amongst psych, prog and acid rock collectors and due to the rare nature of original copies they come at a hefty price tag. Mr Bongo is delighted to present an officially licensed reissue of this underground Japanese rock rarity. Comes in tip-on sleeve with obi.

JOZSA, ERIKA -& KAROLY HORVATH- - KETTOSPONT
The legendary folk duo of Erika and Károly were the voice of a generation, pioneers of a musical movement born in Transylvania in the early 1970s. They became the best known and most loved folk singers, touring extensively throughout Romania and Hungary. Erika and Károly formed their duo in 1970. 'Kettospont' was their first LP, released in 1978. Later they formed a band, performing and recording under the name of Taltos. Despite of the high demand, only a few thousand copies were ever pressed, due to Communist political restrictions, making the LP an instant rarity. Under Europe's most oppressive communist regime, the creation of this record was quite adventurous. The end result, though, is an album that stands the test of time. It represents not only the highest quality folk music of the once-flourishing ethnic Hungarian pop scene in Romania, but without any doubt, also a valuable part of Hungarian folk music in general. Limited to 330 copies!

LAY LLAMAS - SUNBURNED DREAMLIKE SAFARI
A floating drift toward a mysterious reality, between Nature and Cosmos, poised between sleep and wakefulness, temporal co-presences and impossible spatial ubiquities. In this phantasmagorical saga, inspired by TV science-fiction as well as '60s and '70s horror movies, Nicola Giunta/Lay Llamas creates a miraculous balance between original inserts and retrievals of freely chosen fragments from old audio documentaries on vinyl, perfecting the art of sound collage in an absolutely psychedelic way. Nonlinear dream textures become labyrinths of sudden openings, empty rooms, interstellar platforms, narrating voices from other worlds or ghostly churches from beyond the grave. A piercing electronica of cosmic synths, dense with the mists and dusts of distant times, past and future at the same time, where lysergic percussions merge with echoes of flutes vibrating in endless tropical forests and natures. Until the final awakening, in the reality of the first light of dawn.

PEREZ, LUIS - IPAN IN XIKTLI METZTLI (2LP)
'MEXICO MAGICO COSMICO, EL OMBLIGO DE LA LUNA' - Following a decade playing in Mexico City's psychedelic rock scene, Luis Perez's early solo work was a mixture of sounds derived from his vast array of pre-Hispanic and ethnographic wind and percussion instruments which he managed to blend with electronic devices including tape delay units, electric guitars and synthesisers. During this time, he was given the name Ixoneztli (or "one who makes music") by the legendary curandera Pachita and her son Enrique, to whom, like Alejandro Jodorowsky before him, Luis served as assistant. In 1981, the Mexican government became very interested Perez's work and sponsored the production of what became the first recording of the fusion of native Mexican instruments with electronics - entitled 'Ipan In Xiktli Metztli', in the Nahuatl language, or 'En El Ombligo De La Luna' in Spanish ('In The Navel Of The Moon'). The impact of this recording and subsequent performances among media, ethnomusicologists and audiences alike established Luis Perez Ixoneztli as a precursor to a new musical genre followed by a generation of young Mexican musicians playing ethno-rock, ethno-jazz, ethno-experimental and the like.

PERSONA - SOM/O JOGO DAS MUTACOES (BOX)
What is the object with the most sensational magical and alchemical properties, if not glass? A permeable membrane that filters the real through the unconscious, an access portal with divinatory and therapeutic qualities, the glass has always been seen as the guardian of daring allegories and symbols. Aware of this, the artist Roberto Campadello conceived 'The Game Of Persona', in the context of an installation for the XII Biennale of Sao Paolo in 1973. Discovering the visual properties of gilded glass, he investigated the effects of the overlay of images, a mysterious moment of transparency in which two single people melt into the reflection of the image, creating a single fantastic person. Thus, his "Casa Dourada", also became the space for "Intro-nautical Journeys": meditations and cosmic dances. The history of this LP (originally published in a 10" box set in 1975) starts right to support those collective initiation sessions. Each track is inspired by an I Ching element (Mountain, Heaven, Earth, Water, Lake, Wind) which represented a primary source of inspiration for Campadello. The dreamlike and occult sound not only suggest the atmosphere of that experience but still reveal the echoes of the best season of the Brazilian rock and Tropicalismo. The music has been composed and played by Roberto Campadello and the Brazilian super-star guitarist Luis Carlini, the leader of Rita Lee's band Tutti Frutti. Fuzz guitars, dirty percussion, Echoplex delays, are the perfect elements for the final trip into your own consciousness. The boxset editin includes the 'Som' LP with 2 bonus tracks not released on the original 10" issue, a 24 page booklet, a poster with game instructions (70x50cm), a Persona mirror (31x26cm), 2 mirror supports, 2 candles, 2 candle handguards and the mulher-gato box. Co-produced with Nada Nada Discos.

Polyfeen spread their wings in the psychedelic fuzz and space echo universe and is musically anchored in the progressive psychedelic rock genre. Greatly inspired by Pink Floyd and Deep Purple Polyfeen add a new modern touch to the genre adding synthesizer and intense dance drumbeats in the mix. The song writing on the album is centered around the frontman, lead singer and bass player Michael Stanley and the charismatic Hammond organist and virtuosi Per Hugo Rotboll, constantly challenging the psychedelic genre, moving from ear hangers lead by the excellently played acoustic and electric guitars by guitarist Torsten Lefmann accompanied by Stanley's intense lead vocals to an instrumental synthesizer high paced dance song with a psychedelic twist that will make any listener indulged to the tough beat by drummer Karsten "Mons" Mansa. The quartet even features the grand piano in a melodic song which especially with Stanley piano playing and lead vocal leads you in direction of the Lennon solo period from the early '70s. The album features backwards guitars, coral sitar, heavy bass fuzz and a number of '70s analogue synthesizers. You will be taken back to the early '70s with a modern twist in a psychedelic universe with extensive guitar and Hammond organ solos. Throughout the album the lyrics are focused round the unrealized potential in all humans regardless of origin.

Musically she moves in the borderland of David Lynch - and David Bowie - influences, folk music and theatre.

VARIOUS - NIPPON ACID FOLK 1970-1980
The birth of Japan's nascent acid folk scene was rooted in the messy and invigorating political climate of the late 1960s. It is a story of Dadaists, communists, pharmacists, and cult leaders, led by a young generation of upstart students, artists, and dreamers hellbent on turning their world upside down. At the forefront of this movement was Yellow Magic Orchestra's Haroumi Hosono, a polymath innovator whose band Happy End released the first Japanese language rock album, and whose influence would go on to be felt across Japanese music for decades. Alongside, and informed by the Kansai scene's Takashi Nishioka and Happy End collaborator Ken Narita, they experimented with cadences and accents of the Japanese language to open the door for others to experiment with their own forms of psychedelic folk too. Charting the decade from 1970 to 1980, 'Nippon Acid Folk' surveys a little explored corner of Japanese music history, but one which ultimately laid the foundations for an independent music industry, launching the careers of Hosono and others in the process. 'Nippon Acid Folk 1970-1980' is pressed on vinyl and represents the start of a deep dive into Japan's rich history of folk and psychedelic soul music.

VARIOUS - ST. ALBERT'S DREAM, VOL. 3
The third release in the highly acclaimed 'St. Albert's Dream' series once again brings you some of the rarest and most obscure underground psychedelic cuts from 1968-1972. This time round, the Alchemist has mixed a "phormula" to take you on a deep underground trip of fuzzed-out psychedelic intensity, by creating elixirs of chemical-based sounds to remedy your psychedelic needs. You'll hear a morbid swirling organ and guitar-driven tale of love lost from Mississippi's Flower Power, heavy powerful drumming and guitar intensity from Missouri's Sound Company - and an insane twelve minute+ fuzz and effect-laden acid freak out by The Olivers from Indiana. The remaining six cuts are just as heavy, with as much fuzz, effects, psychedelic sounds and 'acidity' as you can handle. The nine cuts here have been remastered from micro-pressed 45's, original unreleased master tapes, and one never-produced acetate. Created from the depths of the '60s and '70s underground by and for lovers of the mega-heavy and ultra-obscure sounds of that magical era. Includes a 12-page booklet with details, histories and rare pictures of the bands and the original 45's. Limited vinyl pressing of 600 copies.

01. KNIGHTSBRIDGE - MAKE ME SOME LOVE

WINKELMAYER BRASS - WINKELMAYER BRASS
This is the so far untold story of the first Hungarian jazz-rock band that played originals and arrangements at an exceptional level. Jozsef Winkelmayer, their multi-instrumentalist leader formed the six piece band to fulfill his musical dreams. They performed in Hungary for two years then abroad for another three with great success. Unfortunately they hardly ever appeared in the media and never made a record. Their debut album is out now, 42 years after their formation, featuring on one side the band's jazz work and on the other side its jazz-rock work, featuring Beatles and Chicago covers and more. Limited to 330 copies.

BACKGROUNDS/THE NAIVES - DAY BREAKS AT DAWN/NO ONE BUT YOU
The Backgrounds' 'Day Breaks At Dawn' originally came out in February 1967 on the funk/soul label Cenco. No one has ever been able to find any information about the band or any photos. Original copies would cost you 1200 euro if you could find one! The master tapes do not exist and this recording has been taken from a mint copy and then sent to a studio to be mastered. It sounds great, no background hiss etc. On the flip there's a song called 'No One But You' by a contemporary band called The Naives, who actually are not a real band, but are one of many fictional bands made up by a young French teenager (19) called Achille Brunet. He has made lots of lo-fi garage/psych/rockabilly songs all by himself and is also a filmmaker. The sleeve comes in 5 different colours and includes inserts/postcards. Limited to 500 copies.

CRYSTAL FLAKE - MR. MINE/I'M GONNA BE WARM THIS WINTER
Soundflat Records presents an absolutely stunning single in a wintry Christmas outfit: The enchanting Crystal Flake captivates with two catchy songs, 'Mr. Mine' and 'I'm Gonna
Be Warm This Winter'! But who exactly is Crystal Flake? In 2021, Tommy Greed, drummer of Ray Collins' Hot Club, released a solo project digitally under the name Tommy Greed's Guest List, where he managed to involve several renowned colleagues from the broad R'n'R scene. As part of this project, Greed wrote 'Mr. Mine,' a "first great love"-teenage-romance with strong
musical ties to The Shangri-Las. He enlisted Belgian singer Crystal Dawn (aka Crystal FlakeE), a well-established figure in the R'n'R scene (Crystal & Runnin' Wild, Tuesday Violence), to perform the track. Alongside the Connie Francis classic 'I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter' as the B-side, a perfect Christmas 7" vinyl single was born: two beautiful '60s rock'n'roll songs in a pop-inspired sound, somewhere between The Shangri-Las,
The Pandoras, and The Bangles. What label could be better suited for this than Soundflat Records!? Let yourself be transported into a musical winter wonderland and celebrate this heartfelt project from these two musical talents! 'Mr. Mine' is a fantastic '60s-pop-beat'n'roll-single that shouldn't be missing under any rock'n'roll Christmas tree this year!

DOGS/THORNS - DON'T TRY TO HELP ME/I WANT YOU
You want obscure? Here we go! The Dogs issued just one 45 on the Philadelphia-based Treasure label in 1967, and that's about all we know!! No photographs or confirmed band members have come to light, so all we have is the music, written by label owner John Bowie, but WHAT a side! With its insistent guitar refrain and squawking sax, the track was first brought to wider attention way back in 1983 when it was comped on 'The Return Of The Young Pennsylvanians,' alongside other killers from Flowerz, The Shaynes and Loose Enz. As you could probably guess, the original 45 is now VERY rare... good condition copies have fetched $3,500 on the collectors market!! Thankfully, Hyperloop have once again come to the rescue by reissuing that vital 45, potentially introducing the band to a whole new audience! The Thorns we know a little more about. Again based in Philadelphia, they started out as an instrumental combo, The Delairs, in 1963. That all changed in 1964 with the onslaught of the British Invasion, and the band were quick to update their sound and image, marking it with a change of name to The Thorns. Around late '65/early '66 they entered Sound Plus Studios to cut 'I Want You' and 'This Is The End,' with 5 acetates being produced, one for each band member.
The Thorns eventually fell apart, but members Steve Sykes and David Ciccitelli hooked up with brothers Nick and Tony Jameson to form The Finestuff, who re-recorded 'I Want You' alongside Nick's 'Big Brother,' both of which were released on the Ra-Sel label in 1967. Offered here is an alternate version of that original Thorns recording, taken from the original master tape!
Comes with printed inner sleeve, 7" insert + bookmark and jukebox title strip. Limited to 600 copies.

JULISSA Y LOS SPITFIRES - LOCO AMOR/VEN CERCA
Julissa, the woman who was censored in Mexican rock! Rock and roll in Mexico had an impact practically all over the world, yet it was never free from censorship. Several songs made it to the radio, and among them was the track 'Ven Cerca,' performed by Los Spitfires and their singer Julissa. Julissa entered the entertainment industry at a very young age, as she was only 13 years old when she started singing with The Spitfires, a rock and roll group formed by her brother Luis on bass, Juan Ramón Sordo on drums, José Luis de la Huerta, and Manuel González Galindo, better known as Johnny Dynamo, on guitars. Los Spitfires, a band originating from Mexico City and formed in 1960, were one of five winning groups in a contest organized by CBS Columbia and the Radio Éxitos station, held in November of that same year. Los Escupefuego were the runners-up, as first place went to Los Hooligans, who, in addition to recording an album, would also appear in a movie. The other groups that won the opportunity to record an album with CBS were: Los Loud Jets, Los Blue Caps, and Los Sparks. Los Spitfires only recorded two tracks: 'Loco Amor' and 'Ven Cerca,' Spanish versions of Paul Anka's 'Crazy Love' and Johnny Restivo's 'Come Closer.' Although these songs are not widely known, except among true fans, they serve as a reference to the early rock being made in Mexico during that time. At the time, all rock musicians were copying foreign hits, including the musical arrangements, and simply translating the lyrics into Spanish. For Julissa, this task wasn't difficult, as she was fluent in English. 'Ven Cerca' ('Come Closer') with its highly suggestive lyrics, was the first song she recorded with her group. She translated the lyrics exactly as Johnny Restivo sang them in English. It began like this: "Come closer, just a little bit closer, because I want to hug and kiss you, come closer." Julissa sang it with whispers and sighs, and with the microphone so open, all her breaths and gasps sounded like genuine moans. Very soon, the record was pulled from the market. Interestingly, she had no idea what those suggestive expressions implied, as she was almost still a child. That record 45s it is very difficult to find and is a rare piece sought after by collectors from around the world! Limited to 300 copies.

MAGIC MUSHROOMS - I'M ALL EARS/PAIN
Formed at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and allegedly named by the legendary beat/poet Allen Ginsberg, the Magic Mushrooms' minimal yet essential output has been held in high regard ever since their debut 45 - the astounding proto-psych 'It's-A-Happening' issued on A & M in September '66 - was comped on the original grandaddy of all comps, Nuggets, way back in '72. Sadly, their tenure at A & M was to be short-lived once label boss Herb Alpert cottoned on to the slightly-delic connotations of the band's name, and they were dropped like a hot roach clip! 2 more 45s followed: September '67 saw the release of the killer soul-inflected 'Look In My Face' for Philips (backed by the excellent 'Never Let Go'), then in '68 they released the good-time-y 'Municipal Water Maintenance Man' on local label East Coast (who had earlier issue the MONSTER 'Polka Dotted Eyes' by The Snaps!). Flip 'Let The Rain Be Me' had a nice sunshine pop vibe, but the writing was on the wall by this point, and the group folded not long after... Meanwhile, between that 1st and 2nd 45, the group went into A & R Recording in New York on 2nd December '66 to cut the two tracks on offer here. Why they were never issued til now is a mystery - both sides are as strong as anything they'd put out...an acetate first surfaced about 10 years ago, but these versions are taken straight from the original master tape (thanks to Dave Brown at Distortions) for maximum sound quality! Comes with 2 double-sided postcards and snazzy jukebox title strip!

THEE KAVALIERS - CONGREGATION FOR ANTI-FLIRTS INC/PRIDE
Based in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, Thee Kavaliers issued 4 singles on the now-legendary Pharaoh label (home to the Headstones, Playboys Of Edinburg, Christopher & The Souls and more) between October '65 and January '67, and were part of a thriving local scene. Sadly, no Pharaoh 45 was commercially successful, and having vanished into the ether alongside thousands of other US garage 45s from the same period, their work was eventually rediscovered in the late '70s/early '80s, with Headstones and Playboys sides first reappearing on the first volume of the equally legendary 'Flashback' LP series in 1980. Subsequently, these Pharaoh 45s are HIGHLY sought after these days, with good condition copies changing hands on the collector's market for up to $2000 in some cases!! Thankfully, Hyperloop have once again come to the rescue by combining the A-sides of the first and last Kavaliers 45s, possibly creating their strongest 2-sider to date! 'Congregation' features some super-gnarly fuzz, gritty organ and a near-hysterical vocal that rattles along at quite a pace, while 'Pride' is a more laid back, introspective jangler with lush vocal harmonies. As usual, the packaging is top-notch with a dazzling array of goodies inside: a 7" square double-sided repro of original labels, double-sided postcard, jukebox title strip, 3 x 4" square cards advertising future releases and 2 x 4" square cards advertising related releases on other labels.

DIDDLEY, BO - IS A... LOVER
Unlike a lot of other rock'n'roll stars who had gotten their start in the 1950s, Bo Diddley kept going strong into the 1960s and even the early 1970s for that matter. Bo's sixth album from 1961 clearly prefigures most of his '60s output, while still keeping that classic rock'n'roll feel he had been one of the pioneers of, and probably its most original interpreter. From the flamenco-inspired instrumental 'Aztec,' to the two briskly-paced rockers, 'Hong Kong, Mississippi' and 'You're Looking Good,' or the goofy spoken word 'Bo's Vacation,' 'Is... A Lover' demonstrates what a huge influence the man was not only on British rock bands from the mid-1960s but what is commonly described as the "San Francisco Sound" as well. Another indispensable title from the man with the funny-shaped guitars!

FLEUR - FILLE SAUVAGE
With great pride Fleur presents her third album 'Fille Sauvage'! The Dutch '60s yéyé chanteuse has been charming us all with her lovely French '60's pop beat sound and her
sweet voice, that bears resemblance to Françoise Hardy's or Sylvie Vartan's. Her first two albums and additional singles alongside her captivating live performances have won everyone
all over instantly. This album shows a new facet of the singer and puts the Fleur-sound firmly in the garage while keeping her charming French '60s yéyé girl vibe. "I wanted to cut loose and show everyone I can get wild," says the unstoppable madame
Fleur. "This might just be my favorite album yet - it's still me, but with a rawer, spicier edge! Plus, I even play a little piano on a few tracks." All songs on this album were penned by Dutch cult legend Mark ten Hoor, the driving force behind garage rock trio The Kryng. These guys also laid down all the backing tracks, so expect scratchy guitars, pounding bass, and thundering drums, alongside African rhythms, vibraphones, growling electric pianos, and searing guitar solos. As always, Fleur's warm, breathy voice floats effortlessly above it all.
If you're into The Troggs, The Kinks, The Monks, The Remains, and Miss Ludella Black, blended with the vibes of Françoise Hardy, Nancy Sinatra and Jacqueline Taïeb, you're in for a treat with 'Fille Sauvage' by Fleur!

FLEUR - FLEUR
The Fleur project came when Arjan Spies and Dave Von Raven (The Kik) were recording some tracks for their instro-rock combo Les Robots and they realized they had some music that deserved female vocals, then they contacted Dutch singer and musician Floor Elman and magic was created. Here comes a second pressing of the debut album, an exciting and mesmerizing mix of French ye-yé, sixties beat shakers and easy-listening delights.

JUDEX - CULT OF JUDEX
The Judex are from Pennsylvania and New York. They are no longer a band. The LP is a compilation of tracks taken from the band's early output and were only available as CD tracks, small runs of lathe cut 45 and downloads. The tracks were mixed by Mark Plati (David Bowie/The Cure). Pressed on heavyweight vinyl and comes with a lyric insert. Their sound is a mix of classic rock'n'roll and can be best summed up by a review by Dave Franklin: "But it is uncanny. Imagine if you took the MC5, The Ramones, Elvis, The Gun Club, The Cramps, Chuck Berry, Jack Daniels and a few wraps of speed and put them through a blender to create the ultimate rock and roll not-so-smoothie? Well, the resulting cocktail would sound a lot like 'Cult Of Judex'."

ANN-MARGRET - ON THE WAY UP
Ann-Margret's RCA Victor debut album, 'And Here She Is...,' didn't get much attention in 1961, but she did better with her bluesy single 'I Just Don't Understand,' which peaked in the Top 20 in September. That set up this, her second solo LP, which featured 'I Just Don't Understand,' and like it was recorded partially in Nashville under the aegis of Chet Atkins and Dick Pierce. The two naturally brought a slight country feel to some of the tracks, notably the remakes of Don Gibson's 1958 hit 'Oh, Lonesome Me' and the 1960-1961 hit 'My Last Date (With You)' (aka 'Last Date'). But the closest approximation of the sound was the kind of country-inflected pop/rock being pursued by Elvis Presley around the same time, which made a rendition of Presley's first major hit, 'Heartbreak Hotel,' an appropriate choice. At 20, Ann-Margret was an effective singer, if something of a chameleon, seeming to adopt a different persona for each number. She was at her most seductive singing Otis Blackwell's 'Slowly,' and she came on like a Latin fireball on 'Fever,' but was demure on the singles-chart entry 'What Am I Supposed To Do' and ingenuously winning on 'Moon River.'

DEVENYI, ADAM - ELMULIK-JELEN
A retrospective compilation of a songwriter who remained somewhat obscure in his local scene. Adám's lyrical approach takes him into a narrow circle of the greatest poets in contemporary Hungary. Adding his own refined, sometimes ironical, but always emotional music, the complexity of the production is shining. 18 tracks from the 1990s and 2000s are now compiled on Adám's first own vinyl LP, titled 'Elmúlik - jelen' (Passes - Present). Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies with liner notes insert.

Canadian proto-punk pioneers!

XIU XIU - WOMEN AS LOVERS
2022 edition of Xiu Xiu's cult classic 'Women As Lovers.' Originally released on budget vinyl in 2008, this is its first high quality edition on vinyl ever pressed. Named after Elfriede Jelinek's seminal novel, this album contains 14 slabs of tortured, avant pop at its best. It includes a lauded cover of the Queen/David Bowie single 'Under Pressure' featuring Swans leader Michael Gira. The album was recorded by a legendary line up consisting of Caralee McElroy, Ches Smith and Jamie Stewart and features Angela Seo's first Xiu Xiu credit for lyrics and sound effects. It was mixed and co-produced by the band's long time friend and collaborator Greg Saunier of Deerhoof. This edition is released on 180g vinyl, limited to 1000 copies and features new revisited artwork and liner notes by Jamie Stewart. "'Women As Lovers' is a joyful affair in many ways, yet Stewart's demons constantly linger in the background."~Mia Clarke, The Wire, Feb 2008. "This album is frantic and wild, with swatches of noise and Jamie Stewart's voice often quivering on the edge of a panic attack." ~Brian Howe, Pitchfork, Jan 2008.

MIKAMI, KAN/JOHN EDWARDS/ALEX NEILSON - LIVE AT CAFE OTO
Since the late '60s Kan Mikami has forcefully carved out a space for himself in the culture as a modernist poet, a raging folk singer, an author, an actor, an engaging TV personality, and one of Japan's most uniquely powerful performers. For most of Mikami's career as a singer, he has performed solo. Just him and his electric guitar against the world, creating jagged A-minor vamps to drive along the surreal wisdom of his lyrics. But he's equally at home in more demanding improvisational contexts such as those provided here by John Edwards on bass and Alex Neilson on drums. Their dense propulsive textures seem to spur on Mikami, his voice arcing powerfully into fragmented spaces, his guitar darting, colliding, shedding jagged and angular splinters of sound. Limited to 500 copies.

PARK JIHA & ROY CLAIRE POTTER - TO CALL OUT INTO THE NIGHT
Full recording of one of the most engaging and beguiling Late Junction live sessions we've ever heard - the one off first meeting between Korean multi-instrumentalist Park Jiha and writer and performer Roy Claire Potter. Park Jiha plays the saenghwang, a Korean mouth organ which she blows in long multiphonics to set pace for Potter's words. Together they unfurl a scene slowly in front of you, rich and focused, shifting your field of vision and drawing you in, elsewhere. It's impossible not to follow, not to look for where they point. When the piri sounds for a flooded town on the B side, the water flows between your own feet; Potter's words a sometimes frightening hörspiel in scouse. Though the details are fine, the space each artist gives one another and their instruments, their language, is given to the listener in turn. A careful melody picks out a route for words with no fixed meaning, a body with no fixed direction, and we are invited to listen and see a kind of music made visible in its inference. A truly very special record we are very proud to share.

STEIGER, BILLY - LOUD OBJECT
'Loud Object' is the second solo release from artist Billy Steiger, following his self released 'Recordings, Drawings And Photographs From In And Around Frîdd Newydd' in 2016. Both a visual artist and a musician, Steiger's 'Loud Object' plays as a two sided experiment in markmarking and sound, as a kind of writing by ear - metallic, brushed, wooden - lines imprinted and pressed circular. 'Loud Object' began as six sides of violin improvisations, four of them abandoned and the last of them added to or processed usings samplers in moments Steiger calls 'wells' - gaps or dips in the recording which could be filled or poured into. The process of filling up and taking away, of repeating and multiplying, of building tension between the finite and the lost - all wrestle with actualisation. Which line will be drawn? In the liner notes for the LP, Evie Scarlett Ward writes, "The record holds loss." Though the lines are fixed, its contents are fluid - forty minutes filled in and manipulated, before time moves on.

BRIDGEWATER, DEE DEE - AFRO BLUE
If you collect vintage '70s soul-jazz vinyl, there is a good chance that you already own a record that features the amazing vocal talents of Dee Dee Bridgewater. Whether it be Roy Ayers, Norman Connors, Billy Parker or Carlos Garnett - Dee Dee is the glue that fuses these artists together. Although best known for her jazz work, Dee Dee has had a wonderfully rich and varied career encompassing soul, musicals, gospel, and underground disco from the '70s to the present day. She is still active
as a vocalist, composer, and producer. Her debut album 'Afro Blue' was recorded in Tokyo in 1974. The album was released exclusively in Japan via two different Japanese labels (Trio
Records in 1974 and All Art in 1985 respectively). 'Afro Blue' features an exquisite collaboration of American and Japanese musicians, such as Cecil & Ron Bridgewater, Motohiko Hino and
producer Takao Ishizuka. The result is a sublime deep soul-jazz
masterpiece with timeless versions of 'People Make The World Go Round', 'Love From The Sun', and 'Afro Blue'. It is arguably one of the finest albums in its genre. This record has long been a sought-after item for DJs and collectors alike.

With executive production from Swindle (Ezra Collective, Mahalia), mastering from Joker (Stormzy, Kojey Radical) and with co-productions that include the likes of legendary pop producer Guy Chambers, Raf Rundell (The 2 Bears), Shawn Lee (Saint Etienne, Kelis), and Tom Misch, 'Sgt Culpepper' is a demonstration of the power of community, mingling self-reflection with wider social commentary. The record is split into four chapters: 'The Battle', which includes previous singles 'W.A.R' and 'Return', 'The Surrender', embodied by recent single 'Poetic Justice'; 'The Love' and 'The Lesson'.

MARIA RITA - BRASILEIRA
Maria Rita Stumpf is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá),' Mr Bongo thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out in 1988 and was taken from Maria's 'Brasileira' album, released on the Brazilian, independent Acorde imprint. The song would go on to gain cult status with its inclusion on John Gomez's superb 'Outro Tempo' compilation, released on the Music From Memory label in 2017. The album fuses new-age electronics with indigenous vocals and Amazonian rhythms. It is beautiful and unique and takes you on a journey through different moods, textures and ethereal planes. Through the sounds Maria created, you join her on a timeless voyage gazing into the future whilst embracing her powerful roots.

SNOOCH DODD & THE PRO-TEENS - I FLIP MY LIFE EVERY TIME I FLY
Within Melbourne's burgeoning cinematic-soul scene, which includes breakout acts Surprise Chef and Karate Boogaloo, mysteriously sit The Pro-Teens. Helmed by prolific drummer and percussionist Hudson Whitlock, who also plays in both aforementioned bands, this breakaway studio project involves an interchangeable collective of incognito, Melbourne-based, esteemed instrumentalists playing under outlandish pseudonyms such as "'Dead Honest' Dean Amazing" and "Libby Clique-Baite." Symbolically led by keyboardist "Snooch Dodd", the album 'I Flip My Life Every Time I Fly' is the latest musical concoction from Whitlock's eccentric brain, marrying the soul/funk roots of sample culture with the principles of boom-bap hip hop.
Incorporating the colourful comic book stylings of MF Doom and Kool Keith, or the dark and exotic flavours of Gravediggaz and The Wu-Tang Clan, The Pro-Teens also take cues from their composing heroes Galt MacDermot, Richard Evans and Marc Moulin. The Pro-Teens bop, zip, whip and fling on this phantasmagorical journey - an unorthodox patchwork of cinematic soul, hip hop-guided funk breaks, vivid instrumental textures and film score-esque moods. The Pro-Teens work on the same analogue recording model adopted by the tight-knit College Of Knowledge label, self-recorded and produced with the rag-tag crew of musicians putting tracks down live to tape in crammed attic studios and sharehouse recording spaces.

TEASPOON & THE WAVES - TEASPOON & THE WAVES
Official replica reissue of a South African jazz-funk rarity from Teaspoon & The Waves. Released in 1977 on Soul Jazz Pop, a subsidiary label of Mavuthela Music Company/Gallo, Teaspoon & The Waves' self-titled album is an absolute masterpiece. Best known for the song 'Oh Yeh Soweto', which is an astonishing adaptation of Lamont Dozier's anthem 'Going Back To My Roots', this track has become a contemporary underground club classic in recent times and has been featured in sets from a cross-section of DJs. With such a massive calling card song, it could be easy to write off the album as a typical one-tracker (like so many records often are), but that is a long way from the truth. 'Saturday Express' is a jazz-funk/disco stomper which will soon be lighting up dancefloors again. 'Wind And Fire' is true Afro-jazz-funk excellence, with great spacey synths and reggae-inspired guitar grooves riding throughout. The opener, 'Friday Night', also has a slightly reggae-tinged tropical groove, whilst 'Got Me Tight' finishes off the session with a feel-good jazz-funk workout that features cool, quirky, Patrick Adams-esque synths.

BLUE NOTES - BLUE NOTES FOR JOHNNY
OtoRoku is proud to present the first vinyl reissue of 'Blue Notes For Johnny' - a defining statement by one of the greatest ensembles in the history of jazz. Recorded in mid-1987 by Blue Notes - then reduced to the trio of Dudu Pukwana on alto sax, Louis Moholo-Moholo on drums and Chris McGregor on piano - it encounters the band 25 years after their founding embarking on an inward meditation through collective music making dedicated to Johnny Dyani, their former bandmate and friend.

BLUE NOTES - BLUE NOTES FOR MONGEZI (2LP)
OtoRoku is proud to present the first vinyl reissue of 'Blue Notes For Mongezi,' one of the most passionate celebrations of a life in music ever laid to tape. Recorded in late 1975 by Blue Notes, then reduced to a quartet - Dudu Pukwana on alto sax, whistle, percussion, and vocals, Johnny Dyani on bass, bells, and vocals, Louis Moholo-Moholo on drums, percussion, and vocals and Chris McGregor on piano, and percussion - and issued the following year by Ogun, the album is a kairos; the first commercial release by one of free jazz's seminal ensembles, captured them 13 years after their founding - at the height of their powers - delivering an explosive dirge dedicated to Mongezi Feza, their former bandmate and friend.

COLEMAN, ORNETTE -DOUBLE QUARTET- - FREE JAZZ
"The most important thing was for us to play together, all at the same time, without getting in each other's way, and also to have enough room for each player to ad lib alone - and to follow this idea for the duration of the album," explained Ornette Coleman of 'Free Jazz.' The 1961 Atlantic collection features a "double quartet" of saxophonist Coleman, trumpeter Don Cherry, bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Billy Higgins playing on one stereo channel, and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Ed Blackwell on the other. Much like the work of the painter who provided the cover art, Jackson Pollock, the set's approach was initially polarizing but is now hailed as a major leap forward.

JIYU - TOTEM OF QUIET MYSTIC
Jazz scenes are constantly evolving, and Copenhagen's Jiyu is fearlessly pushing the boundaries across various genres, from jazz-funk, bossa and Afro-Cuban to broken beats and experimental, ambient jazz. Jiyu's second full length album presents a rich tapestry of phat analog synths, lush brass arrangements, psychedelic vibes, highlights of soloistic instrumental performances and a dense, organic jazz approach with drum grooves and percussion at its core.

KUHN, STEVE -TRIO- - THREE WAVES
"Predictable is not an adjective associated with the recordings of pianist Steve Kuhn. He is joined by bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Pete La Roca for this exciting studio session from the mid-1960s, both of whom he had worked with under Art Farmer, as well as on La Roca's smashing debut as a leader, Basra. With the exception of 'Ida Lupino' and 'Never Let Me Go,' the music will likely be unfamiliar to most jazz fans, but adventurous souls are in for a treat. Kuhn's originals include the furious modal work 'Bits And Pieces,' which sounds as if it represents the center of a storm, as well as 'Today I Am A Man,' which suggests a well-known composition from the heyday of the bop era. 'Why Did I Choose You' is played with a soft bossa nova accent, while Sergio Mihanovich's 'Three Waves' is intense, with overlapping changes of rhythm. 'Never Let Me Go,' a favorite of singers, is understated and subtle, only hinting briefly at the melody. Originally issued in 1966 on LP by the long-defunct Contact label. ~Ken Dryden/Allmusic. Comes on smoky red vinyl.

MOHOLO, LOUIS -OCTET- - SPIRITS REJOICE!
First vinyl reissue of one of the most legendary free jazz records ever produced. Originally released in 1978 on Ogun Recordings, Louis Moholo Octet's 'Spirits Rejoice!' is a high achievement in the movement of the era as it soars beyond oppression with a raucous and spiritually uplifting surge of movement and melody. Featuring Harry Miller, Johnny Dyani, Keith Tippett, Evan Parker, Nick Evans, Radu Malfatti and Kenny Wheeler, this is former Blue Note artist Louis Moholo's first album under his own name and is a classic example of the cross-pollination between South African and British players. Mongezi Feza's 'You Ain't Gonna Know Me Cos You Think You Know Me' alone is enough to make your life a better place.

O'DAY, ANITA -& CAL TJADER- - TIME FOR 2
Reissue of 1962 album. In another experiment, producer Creed Taylor teams O'Day with the alternately Latin and bop-grounded quartet of vibraphonist Cal Tjader and he gets some amazing performances from this team. O'Day sounds as if she is delighted with Tjader's polished Afro-Cuban grooves, gliding easily over the rhythms, toying with the tunes, transforming even a tune so locked into its trite time as 'Mr. Sandman' into a stimulating excursion. Indeed, O'Day's freewheeling phrasing becomes downright sexy on 'That's Your Red Wagon' and Dave Frishberg's delicious parody of a spoiled honeybunch, 'Peel Me A Grape.' Also, thanks to Taylor's obsession with good engineering and tasteful applications of reverb, O'Day's voice sounds much fuller and more attractive in his productions than on her Norman Granz-produced albums.

THOMAS, LEON - BLUES AND THE SOULFUL TRUTH
Leon Thomas' fifth album, 1972's 'Blues And The Soulful Truth' is often considered to be his classic album. Aimed at a crossover market, producer Bob Thiele allied the singer with James Brown's bandleader Pee Wee Ellis and the original funky drummer Bernard Purdie. The result was an exciting mix of soul, blues and spiritually aware jazz. Highlights include the beautifully evocative 'China Doll,' the Donny Hathaway-sounding 'Love Each Other' and the apocalyptic 'Shape Your Mind To Die.' The core creative team on the album was helped along by the contributions from Airto Moreira, Stanley Clarke and Larry Coryell. 2021 reissue on pink and grey marbled vinyl.

TURNER, ROGER -& YUKIHIRO ISSO- - TAKANEHISHIGU
Born in 1964, Yukihiro Isso is a Japanese Noh flutist (hayashi-kata fue-kata) from a family that has been playing this instrument since the 16th century. Isso is also an accomplished improviser and has performed with the likes of Cecil Taylor, Peter Brötzmann and John Zorn. Born 1946, Roger Turner grew up amongst the Canterbury musical life of the 1960s with a strong jazz foundation. Since 1974 work has been concentrated on exploring a more personal percussion language through the processes of improvisation. 'Takanehishigu' is the audio documentation of the first time these artists played together. The results are a breathtaking new music which remains respectful to the individual traditions whilst simultaneously subverting them. 'Takanehishigu' was recorded live at Cafe Oto on 23rd September 2015 by Shaun Crook. Limited to 500 copies.

Saxophone player Seymour Wright and percussionist Paul Abbott step forward with an album that re-animates free improvisation with a Chicago house palette. 'Deorlaf X' is made up of frenetic slabs of mutated multiphonics and triggered percussion, suspended in bouts of possessed reflexive quiet. Where the duo' s 2019 release 'Palina'tufa' focused primarily on a response to the real (and imagined) landscapes of Hong Kong, 'Deorlaf X' is located in Dalston and specifically at OTO..

ASIQ NARGILE - YURT YERI
Born in Tbilisi, Nargile Mehtiyeva aka Asiq Nargile has been playing saz (long-neck lute) and singing since the age of 15. Fluent in Azerbaijani, Georgian, and Russian, Nargile represents the cosmopolitan heritage of old Tbilisi, a city once known as a meeting point for multilingual asiq bards who would travel through the region serving as conduits for news, ideas, music and culture. Nargile is currently the only female asiq living and performing in the ethnic Azeri region of Georgia, and has been teaching the art to new generations.
This is a recording of her first concert in the UK, recorded live at Cafe Oto on the 18th October 2014 by James Dunn. The pieces performed are named after the traditional saz asiq havasi (melodies) they are based on. Lyrics are taken from destan epics, regional poetry and Nargile's own lyrics to match the rhyming patterns of these melodies.

BOLA DE NIEVE - BOLA DE NIEVE
Born Ignacio Jacinto Villa Fernández, Cuban pianist Bola de Nieve (literally "Snowball") is one of the big names in Cuban music. He worked as a chauffeur and played piano for silent films until his friend Rita Montaner took him on as an accompanist in the early 1930s. After Montaner returned to Cuba, Bola de Nieve remained in Mexico and developed an original performance style as a pianist and singer. He was an elite rather than a popular figure, a sophisticated cabaret stylist known for ironic patter, subtle musical interpretation, with a repertoire that included songs in French, English, Catalan, Portuguese and Italian. He toured widely in Europe and the Americas, and his friends included Andrés Segovia and Pablo Neruda. He identified as black and gay, and was self-confident in his personality, and accepted for what he was: a memorable talent. This LP compiles some of his most memorable performances, including his visions of hits from the era, traditional tunes and also some self-penned numbers.

GRUPO IRAKERE - GRUPO IRAKERE
For the second instalment in Mr Bongo's 'Cuban Classics' series, here's a sought-after slice of sublime Afro-Cuban jazz from 1976. It comes courtesy of one of Cuba's most influential acts, Grupo Irakere. Founded in 1973 by Chucho Valdés (son of the Cuban pianist and bandleader Bebo Valdés) the group was home to many of Cuba's finest musicians over the years. With an electrifying style and sound, they mixed traditional Cuban music with jazz, funk, and rock. This self-titled album includes the much-loved, dancefloor heavy-hitter 'Chequeré-Son,' a Latin-jazz funk masterpiece with Cubanized bebop-flavoured horn lines, lush keys, and '70s hip swagger. Though 'Chequeré-Son' is the keystone of the record, the album is laced with brilliance at every turn, from the Carlos Santana-esque channelling 'Iya' with its percussive Latin power, to the sultry, slick and passionate '38 1/2.' Elsewhere, the absorbing, ever-building energy of 'Juana 1600' and steamy vocal dancer `Xiomara' are also highlights of this incredible album. Pressed on Cuba's state led Areito Records, the album was well received internationally, garnering distribution in Finland on Love Records, in Italy on Phase 6 Super Stereo, and also in the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Venezuela. A cherished Afro-Cuban triumph, this album has been crying out for a reissue and Mr Bongo is delighted to make that happen.
Featuring replica artwork, the vinyl release is presented with an obi strip.

LOS DIABLOS ROJOS - RITMO SATANICO
Today, Los Diablos Rojos are known around the world for a unique tropical sound that has transcended passing fashions and managed to hold its own in an era marked by transience and oblivion. Over the years, they have become the forerunners of a trend that has been developing for half a century and is gaining more and more praise and recognition. They have become a musical reference for other contemporary tropical music bands that have found in Los Diablos Rojos, above all, an example of creativity and resilience. The Peruvian cumbia band Los Diablos Rojos was born within the quincha and adobe walls of Cañete Chico with a proposal very different from what all the musicians of the time were working on: an instrumental tropical music style of their own. Even Enrique Delgado (Los Destellos), Beto Cuesta (Los Ecos) and Berardo Hernandez (Manzanita Y Su Conjunto), who all found a source of income in música criolla, did not limit themselves to working for hire. They were all crossing the same bridge, the bridge of tropical music. Above all, the sense of renewal was the incentive for this bet. If they wanted to change the paradigm, they would not do it by copying styles they had already heard many times before.

RIGHI, ZITO -E SEU CONJUNTO- - ALUCINOLANDIA
Some things take time to happen, some things perhaps take a bit longer than they should but, finally, Mr Bongo is delighted to present an issue of the iconic, and sought-after, Brazilian album 'Alucinolândia' by Zito Righi E Seu Conjunto from 1969.
The trippy, surrealist '60s cover design with hands holding eyeballs is somewhat confusing. Rather than the stoner acid rock record that the art may suggest, 'Alucinolândia' is actually a quintessential '60s gem, mixing samba, MPB, bossa nova, quirky organ-led mod-jazz groovers and easy-listening crooners with a relaxed cool swagger.

"This LP with Sexteto Caracas will be, from now on, the favorite of all parties with a happy atmosphere, because through its interpretations it has that rhythm and party flavor that we all want to hear and dance to" reads the back cover of the original edition of the great album that the El Palmas Music label has the enormous pleasure of reissuing on vinyl, respecting every detail of its original art. 'Ritmo Y Sabor De Fiesta Con El... Sexteto Caracas,' was launched in 1969 by a small Venezuelan label (Discos Diana), it appeared when salsa was already a consolidated popular phenomenon in the country. The era of the rage of the tasty crossover of genres with guaguancó and boogalú and even soul, of the "superdiscotecas with cinematic sound and psycho-delirious dance floor," as was announced in the promotion of a show at El Palacio del Baile when Caracas was experiencing an impressive cultural explosion.
In this context, the only album by Sexteto Caracas was released, a group of young but seasoned musicians through dozens and dozens of shows, with a luxury musical director (Abiezer M. D'Aubeterre, better known as "Ajoporro," also in charge of the piano and guitar) and the voice of Alfredo Antonio, who had previously ventured into pop music as the singer of the group Chicles. Sexteto Caracas was born in the mid-'60s as the initiative of the timbalero Jesús "Chui" Osuna, who conditioned his own house for the group's rehearsals, and it established itself as it added concerts in that Caracas of great musical revelry until it reached its unique album, a collector's item that El Palmas Music proudly recovers, faithful to its objective of cultural archeology and revaluation of artists who deserve a privileged place in history.
