2LP Cat No:MOVLP128 Barcode: 8713748980146
Release : 28 / 06 / 2010

Saviors of Hammond Jazz Sven Hammond Soul are releasing their critically acclaimed The Marmalade
Sessions on 180 grams audiophile vinyl! Funky fresh, this music was made for the dance floor. Sven
Figees’s hammond moans, sweats, sobs and wails over Joost Kroon’s (New Cool Collective) mean
drumming, while Glenn Gaddum’s unwavering bass confidently pins it all to a steady Jazz groove.
Contributions by vocalists Sherry Dyanne and Corrina Grayson add that special Soul flavor, while
Benjamin Herman on sax adds his own distinctive tone to Benny’s Blues. This is an album that makes
you want to get up, clear your living room floor in one fell swoop and get down and boogie!

This vinyl edition includes 4 specially recorded previously unreleased tracks, amongst which Caro
Emerald’s A Night Like This takes cheekiness to a new level without becoming cheesy. Other newly
recorded songs are Sventastic, Mister Cool and Doin’ The WahWah, three irrefutable examples of
Sven Hammond Soul’s musical brilliance.

CHARLIE POOLE “I‟m The Man Who Rode The Mule „Round The World”



Format: LP
Cat. No.: MKLP326 / B.J02561
Barcode: 8013252453267

Born in North Carolina in 1892, influential singer and banjo player Charlie
Poole is often considered to be one of the fathers of bluegrass and one of
country music’s first stars. Although Poole died at just 39 years old, he still
had plenty of time to influence greats like Bill Monroe and Hank Williams, to
name just a few. Although Poole did not write his own material—relying
mainly on minstrel, vaudeville and burlesque songs of the day—his genius lay
in his unique ability to rework a song to make it his own, like this version of
the drinking song “If The River Was Whiskey”. Poole, along with his string
band, the North Carolina Ramblers, recorded over 60 sides Columbia Records during the 1920s, many of which
have become standard repertoire. The material found on this LP, taken from recordings made from 1925-1930,
sheds welcome light on some of his lesser-known songs, like the hilarious “It’s Movin’ Day”.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Sweet Sixteen 2. Write A Letter To My Mother 3. If The River Was Whiskey 4. Mother’s Last
Farewell Kiss 5. Milwaukee Blues 6. Where The Whippoorwill Is Whispering Good-Night Side B: 1. The Girl I Left In
Sunny Tennessee 2. It’s Movin’ Day 3. I’m The Man That Rode The Mule ‘Round The World 4. Monkey On A String
5. Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister 6. Sunset March

MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT “Blessed Be The Name – The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings”

Format: LP
Cat. No.: MK327LP / B. J02563
Barcode: 8013252453274



The songs on this album are especially significant because they represent the
only existing recordings of John Hurt prior to the early 1960s when he was
“rediscovered” by blues revivalists. In 1928, an unknown Mississippi
sharecropper named John Hurt, played regular barn dances behind a white
fiddle player who soon recommended Hurt to Okeh Records for recording. Okeh
took the fiddle player’s advice and recorded two sessions with Hurt, one in
Memphis and one in NYC, of which only a single (Nobody’s Dirty Business /
Frankie) was ever recorded and promptly forgotten. Hurt spent the next 35 years
sharecropping, and working for the railroad (where he learned songs like “Spike
Driver Blues”, a variation on “John Henry”). “Avalon Blues”, an ode to his home town, was a song Hurt wrote during
his recording session in NYC in 1928 and also the song that led to his rediscovery. Mississippi John Hurt today is
one of the most appreciated of the Delta blues musicians, perhaps because his unique style makes him particularly
accessible to modern audiences. Hurt, who died in 1966, lived just long enough to see his music finally appreciated
by a wider audience.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Frankie 2. Nobody’s Dirty Business 3. Ain’t No Tellin’ 4. Louis Collins 5. Avalon Blues 6. Big
Leg Blues 7. Stack O’ Lee Side B: 1. Candy Man Blues 2. Got The Blues (Can’t Be Satisfied) 3. Blessed Be The
Name 4. Praying On The Old Camp Ground 5. Blue Harvest Blues 6. Spike Driver Blues

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD
WELCOME TO THE PLEASUREDOME



2LP Cat No:MOVLP116 Barcode: 8713748980139
Release : 28 / 06 / 2010

Frankie Say Relax… Those three words in black letters on white oversized T-shirts persist as a main part
of the imagery of the eighties. But even if you take away all the Malcolm McLaren-styled-marketing,
“Welcome To The Pleasuredome” still stands out as one of the seminal records of the decade. Produced
by Trevor Horn (Art of Noise, The Buggles and briefly YES), it should. The sometimes over-the-top songs
are interspersed with snippets of a Ronald Reagan impersonator and bombastic orchestral compositions.
Put their most famous song ‘Relax’ in the middle of this and the song that created so much controversy
when it was first released becomes a model of restraint. The irresistibly pounding yet simple bass line
makes it as much a floor-filler today as it was in 1984. The Orwellian ‘Two Tribes’, released at the height
of the Cold War, still seems strangely poignant. ‘The Power Of Love’, the hyper-ballad that topped the
British charts for a number of weeks, is still deliciously cheeky.

The re-mastering of this album will make your head spin and is the first that does the Trevor Horn
production justice. As this is the first re-issue of the album on vinyl in 25 years, it’s a damn good thing
Music On Vinyl is releasing it on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

Jag läser den med.
Älskar skiv konvolut och att få inspiration på ny musik.
Tyvärr har jag slutat med vinyl och bara spelar på de gamla jag redan har.
Roligt att se en del skivor man redan har

Ride on!

Tack för inläggen! Då vet jag att nån läser tråden.

Skivorna som jag lägger upp här är "nyheter" som släpps på vinyl. Jag brukar försöka skriva in vilket datum de släpps. Jag varken säljer eller köper dem själv (utom i nödfall) Jag ser tråden mer som inspiration till ny musik och det faktum att det släpps så mycket kul på vinyl.

ORNETTE COLEMAN “Tomorrow Is The Question”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: DOXLP836 / B. J05542



Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1930, Ornette Coleman began playing alto sax in 1944 and tenor
soon after, and is almost entirely self-taught. From the beginning Coleman chose the path less
traveled, concerning himself with pitch and melody and trying to extract qualities of the human
voice with his horn. The result was a sound in jazz that no one had ever heard before, sparking the
“free jazz” revolution, which soon became one of its major currents. Despite an early lack of
comprehension over what Coleman was doing, the titles of his early albums suggest that Coleman
himself knew exactly how his music would influence the jazz world (Tomorrow Is the Question, Something Else), it was just a
question of time. This, Coleman’s second album, recorded in 1959 in Los Angeles was produced by one of Coleman’s early
supporters, Lester Koenig of the great Contemporary Records, and features Don Cherry on trumpet, Percy Heath / Red Mitchell on
bass and Shelly Manne on drums. It was during this time that Coleman’s career began to take off, thanks in part to John Lewis of
the Modern Jazz Quartet who got Coleman and Cherry spots at the School of Jazz in Lenox, Massachusetts. This same year
Coleman recorded his watershed album “The Shape of Jazz to Come”.
Tracks - Side A: 1. Tomorrow Is The Question! 2. Tears Inside 3. Mind And Time 4. Compassion 5. Giggin’ 6.
Rejoicing Side B: 1. Lorraine 2. Turnaround 3. Endless

ORNETTE COLEMAN “Something Else”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: DOXLP837 .B. J05543



The aptly titled “Something Else!” really was something else when it first hit the shops in 1958.
Ornette Coleman’s debut album sounded unlike anything the jazz world had ever heard before
and like any true revolutionary he was simultaneously both heckled as a fraud and lauded as a
genius of the future of jazz. Half a century later, and given Coleman’s extraordinary influence in
both the jazz and rock world, it is difficult to imagine that Coleman could have had a hard time
getting work as a sideman, but his style was so unusual that even fellow jazz musicians thought he was “out of tune”. Only a small
group of people understood what he was trying to do at first, and this album, featuring Coleman playing his famous plastic alto sax,
Don Cherry on trumpet, Billy Higgins on drums, Walter Norris on piano and Don Payne on bass, a landmark album in jazz, was so
far ahead of its time that it still sounds fresh 50 years later!

Tracks - Side A: 1. Invisible 2. The Blessing 3. Jayne 4. Chippie Side B: 1. The Disguise 2. Angel Voice 3. Alpha 4.
When Will The Blues Leave? 5. The Sphinx

JOAO GILBERTO “Chega De Saudade”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: DOYLP642 / B. J05546



It would probably not be an overstatement to call this the most influential Brazilian album of all
time. Originally released in 1959, Chega de Saudade is the album cited as creating bossa nova
so to say that it lit a fire in the music world would be putting it mildly. It would be perhaps more
accurate to say that it influenced so many musicians both at home (Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben,
etc.) and abroad (Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, Charlie Byrd) that it effectively single-handedly
changed the way people both made and listened to music, and put Brazilian artists on the map.
Almost every song on this album has gone on to become a standard, and Gilberto, called “O
Mito”, is today, at age 79, truly a living legend. Here Gilberto collaborates with both Antonio
Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, both legends in their own right. Moraes and Jobim would soon go on to write the song that
won them a Grammy in 1965, “The Girl From Ipanema”.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Chega De Saudade (No More Blues) 2. Lôbo Bôbo (Foolish Wolf) 3. Brigas, Nunca Mais (Fights,
Never More) 4. Hó-Bá-Lá-Lá 5. Saudade Fêz Um Samba (Saudade Made a Samba) 6. Maria Ninguém (Maria
Nobody) Side B: 1. Desafinado (Off-Key) 2. Rosa Morena (Brunette Rose) 3. Morena Boca De Ouro (Brunette with a
Mouth of Gold) 4. Bim Bom 5. Aos Pés da Cruz (At the Foot of the Cross) 6. É Luxo Só (It’s Just a Luxury) 7. A
Felicidade (Happiness) (Cantando As Músicas do Film Orfeo do Carnaval) 8. Manhã de Carnaval (Morning of the
Carnaval) (Cantando As Músicas do Film Orfeo do Carnaval) 9. O Nosso Amor (Our Love) (Cantando As Músicas do
Film Orfeo do Carnaval)

FAUST “The Faust Tapes”

EXP. RELEASE END OF JULY

HENRY COW “Leg End”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: RERVHC1 / B. J05664



The first, 1973, release by Britain’s most enigmatic and unclassifiable band.
Formed in 1968 by two Cambridge students, Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson, Henry
Cow’s original influences included the likes of Soft Machine and Frank Zappa.
However, in their undying quest to push the boundaries of conventional music,
members soon took out their machetes and began hacking a new trail into an
unmapped wilderness of sound. The band was thereby also staunchly anticommercial,
never compromising their sound to please anyone but themselves, and it is precisely because of this that
they have gone on to influence so many musicians on the outer fringes of rock & roll on both sides of the Atlantic,
particularly the NY experimental music scene. Now returned to its original audio mix.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Nirvana for Mice 2. Amygdala 3. Teenbeat Introduction 4. Teenbeat Side B: 1. Extract from "With
the Yellow Half-Moon and Blue Star" 2. Teenbeat Reprise 3. The Tenth Chaffinch 4. Nine Funerals of the Citizen King

Limited audiophile edition of 2000
copies on 180 gram virgin vinyl.

ART BEARS “Hope And Fears”

Format: 180 gram LP + printed inner sleeve
Cat. No.: RERVAB1 / B. J05665



The first Art Bears LP, mostly made by the band formerly known as Henry Cow and
completed by Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause who went on, as 'Art
Bears', to investigate this short song format further over the next two years, once
Henry Cow had ceased to exist. Experimenting with the song form and the
productive possibilities of the recording studio, this was hailed in its time (1978) as a
landmark recording, and has been constantly in demand ever since. Therefore this
new version, re-mastered by Bob Drake, sounds for the first time like the original
tapes. Repackaged with lyrics printed on inner sleeve. Limited audiophile edition of 2000 copies on 180 gram virgin
vinyl.

Tracks - Side A: 1. On Suicide 2.The Dividing Line 3.Joan 4. Maze 5. In Two Minds Side B: 1. Terrain 2.The
Tube 3.The Dance 4. Pirate Song 5. Labyrinth 6. Riddle 7. Moeris Dancing 8. Piers

FAUST “The Faust Tapes”

Format: 180 gram LP + printed inner sleeve
Cat. No.: RERVF2 / B. J05667



From the band that led the krautrock genre to glory, Faust’s 1973 Virgin LP is an
absolute classic and considered by many to be the band’s best work. Originally
released as one 43-min long sound collage, with no track division, it has now been
re-mastered and repackaged, with a properly divided and annotated (!) track listing.
Limited audiophile edition of 2000 copies on 180 gm virgin vinyl.

JOHN LEE HOOKER “The Great John Lee Hooker”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: DOYLP640 / B. J05544



After a few years spent climbing the ranks of the Detroit blues
scene, in rolls 1948 and Hooker‟s “Boogie Chillen‟”—a variation
on an „old lick‟ he says he heard the guys playing way back
when in Mississippi—goes to the top of the charts. In the years
that follow John Lee Hooker has one hit after another, backed
often only by a single sideman, the great Eddie Kirkland
(because he was one of the only guys who could keep up with
him)! Not in the sense that Hooker played fast or fancy, in fact,
Hooker himself once said, “I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I
don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean,
mean licks”. These ten tracks have „mean licks‟ a-plenty, and
take listeners back to that early period, beginning with his earliest single, 1948‟s “Sally Mae” and its Bside,
“Boogie Chillen”, through to 1954‟s, “I Need Love So Bad”, the year before Hooker signed to Vee-
Jay.

Tracks - Side A: 1. I Need Love So Bad 2. Sally Mae 3. Key To The Highway 4. How Can You Do It 5. It Hurts
Me So Side B: 1. She Left Me 2. I Got Eyes For You 3. Let’s Talk It Over 4. I’m A Howling Wolf 5. Tease Your
Daddy

JOHN LEE HOOKER “Driftin' Thru The Blues”

Format: 180 gram LP
Cat. No.: DOYLP641 / B. J05548



There was an almost religious quality to the way John Lee
Hooker saw himself as a musician: the way a preacher is a
vessel for the Word of God, John Lee Hooker was a vessel for
the blues. After running away from a life of back breaking labor
in the cotton fields of Mississippi at the age of 14, Hooker
drifted from town to town until he ended up in the booming city
of Detroit, in the early 1940s. Although Detroit‟s blues scene
was small compared to that of Chicago, it wasn‟t long until
young John Lee from Mississippi was a big man on campus.
The five tracks on side A were recorded in Detroit between
1949 and 1950 and feature stereo recordings of mainly solo performances by John Lee Hooker. The
five tracks on Side B, also recorded in Detroit, are mono recordings primarily from 1954 and feature
Hooker in a band format backed by tenor sax, piano and drums.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Driftin’ From Door To Door 2. She Left Me On My Bended Knee 3. Let Your Daddy Ride 4.
Turn Over A New Leaf 5. Don’t You Remember Me Side B: 1. Hug And Squeeze You 2. I Love You Baby 3. The
Syndicate 4. Boogie Woogie All Night Long 5. Good Rockin’ Mama

EXP. RELEASE DATE: 26.07.2010
Format: 180 gram LP
CAT. NO.: 900748 / B. F92452



The self-proclaimed “king of garage rock” Billy Childish acted as frontman to this band from
1989 to 2000. The most prolific of Childish’s musical endeavors, the band recorded 14
albums during its lifetime. Here is what Childish himself had to say about the album:
“unsophisticated balderdash from the English gentlemen of rock n' roll Thee Headcoats and
their cohorts, the majorettes from hell, Thee Headcoatees. 15 raucous tracks of unabashed
ineptitude from a secret London pub gig in April 1995. This gig was wasted on the audience
as most probably will this record be wasted on your good self”.

Track listing - Side A: 1. Just Like A Dog 2. All My Feelings Denied 3. Sex And Flies 4. Paedophile 5.
She's Just Fifteen 6. Squaresville 7. Lie Detector 8. She's Fine She's Mine Side B: 1. Strychnine 2. I
Was Led To Believe 3. I Gotta Move 4. Big Boss Man 5. Baby Please 6. It's Bad 7. When You Stop
Loving Me

SON HOUSE “And The Other Great Delta Blues Singers”

Expected mid-July
Format: 2LP
Cat. No.: MKDLP328 / B.J04845



This 24-track collection of historic Delta blues recordings kick off with
Son House’s earliest recorded material. These 7 tracks were recorded
by House for Paramount in Grafton, WI in 1930 and are keystone
recordings in the history of American music. They include the original
rare versions of “Walkin’ Blues” (later made famous by Robert
Johnson) and “Death Letter Blues” (here called “My Black Mama Part
II), covered by Jack White of the White Stripes. The remaining 17
tracks on this album are a chance for listeners to hear some lesser
known Delta bluesmen, all contemporaries of Son House. While
these men are perhaps not quite the genius that House was—with
perhaps the exception of Willie Brown who often played with House (just check out “Future Blues” if you need
convincing)—these lesser known artists are still all top drawer Delta bluesmen that add welcome context to the
genre.

Tracks - Side A: 1. My Black Mama - Part 1 (Son House) 2. My Black Mama - Part 2 (Son House) 3. Preachin’ The Blues - Part
1 (Son House) 4. Preachin’ The Blues - Part 2 (Son House) 5. Dry Spell Blues - Part 1 (Son House) 6. Dry Spell Blues - Part 2

JELLY ROLL MORTON “The Chant”

Format: LP
Cat. No.: MKLP329 / B.J04848



The father of jazz piano, Jelly Roll Morton got his start playing piano
in the bordellos of New Orleans in the nineteen-teens, but soon
began traveling around the South. He spent five years on the West
Coast where he became very popular, but soon moved to Chicago to
take advantage of its burgeoning jazz scene. After gaining his first hit
in 1923 with “Wolverine Blues”, he soon recorded several classic
sides for Victor with a New Orleans-style band made up of some of
the top sidemen of his day, called the Red Hot Peppers. These
recordings, made in Chicago in 1926-27 are from that classic period
and are some of the finest examples of the “Hot” style.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Black Bottom Stomp 2. Smoke-House Blues (Beale Street Blues) 3. The Chant 4. Sidewalk Blues 5. Dead
Man Blues 6. Steamboat Stomp 7. Someday Sweetheart 8. Grandpa’s Spells Side B: 1. Original Jelly-Roll Blues 2. Doctor Jazz
3. Cannon Ball Blues 4. Hyena Stomp 5. Billy Goat Stomp 6. Wild Man Blues 7. Jungle Blues

BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean”

Format: LP
Cat. No.: MKLP330 / B.J04849



The father of Texas blues, Blind Lemon Jefferson began a successful
recording career for Paramount Records in 1926 in Chicago, recording
over 100 sides until his death at age 35 in 1929. Wildly popular in his
day, he was one of the first male blues guitar players to achieve
national acclaim, touring all over the country. His versatile guitar style
and two-octave vocal range, which allowed him to sing in an impossibly
high register, makes his style unique among country blues singers.
Influencing the likes of Leadbelly (with whom he played frequently
while still in Texas) and Lightnin’ Hopkins, his songs have also been
covered by many rock artists including, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the
Grateful Dead. His most popular tunes include, “Black Snake Moan”, “Matchbox Blues” and his songs can often
be considered veiled protest songs decrying the condition of the rural and urban poor.

Tracks - Side A: 1. Black Snake Moan 2. Match Box Blues 3. Easy Rider Blues 4. Rising High Water Blues 5. Weary Dogs Blues
6. Right Of Way Blues 7. Teddy Bear Blues 8. Black Snake Dream Blues 9. Hot Dogs 10. He Arose From The Dead Side B: 1.
