FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SPACELAB9 DEBUTS WITH LIMITED EDITION VINYL RELEASES FOR BREAKING BAD AND THE WALKING DEAD
Coming to planet earth during November 2013, record label imprint Spacelab9 makes its debut with vinyl releases for the official score to AMC and Sony Pictures Entertainment’s hit series and Emmy® winning drama BREAKING BAD followed by the official soundtrack to multi-award winning fan-favorite drama series THE WALKING DEAD. A limited picture disc LP edition for each will be available exclusively from lifestyle retail giant HOT TOPIC, hitting store shelves on November 26th and December 3rd respectively, available while supplies last.
This marks the first time that “BREAKING BAD (Original Score From The Television Series)” will be offered on vinyl format. The 2-disc set features nearly one hour of original music composed by Dave Porter, including the now-iconic “Breaking Bad Main Title Theme.” “AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD (official soundtrack Vol.1)” also makes its vinyl debut, featuring tracks from composer Bear McCreary and artists Jamie N. Commons, Voxhaul Broadcast, Baby Bee, Fink, Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene) & Emily Kinney (Beth Greene) as well as multiplatinum Icelandic artists Of Monsters and Men.
Conceived of by music industry veteran Dave Amcher and staffed by fellow record collectors, film buffs and all-around fanboy fanatics, SPACELAB9 takes a 360 view of music and pop culture fandom with a wide variety of merchandise in the works. Amcher speaks enthusiastically about the prospects for the new imprint. “Most of us involved with SL9 have worked together running traditional record labels since the mid-1990s. Many a Monday morning has been spent taking turns showing off the spoils from the previous weekend’s plundering of record shows, comic-cons, horror conventions, indie-movie screenings and game pre-sales followed by the inevitable discussion about how we would love to spend more time creating cool merchandise outside of the boundaries of the traditional music industry, given the opportunity. The recent sale of one of our popular label imprints presented just such an opportunity so that’s exactly what we intend to do. Records, art prints, t-shirts and apparel, even action figures and model kits. If it’s fun and it’s something that we would love to own as fans, we’ll consider it. We’re leaving no possibilities off the table.”

EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER’S GROUNDBREAKING BRAIN SALAD SURGERY TO RECEIVE ULTIMATE EXPANSION INCLUDING BRAND NEW 5.1 MIX AND HIGH RESOLUTION STEREO MIXES, ALTERNATE TAKES AND PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL
180 GRAM VINYL AND EXCLUSIVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY SHIRTS AVAILABLE NOW
On the 40th anniversary of its release, Razor & Tie are proud to announce that Brain Salad Surgery, the definitive and indispensible album by Prog rock giants Emerson Lake &Palmer (ELP), will receive its greatest expansion ever. A Super Deluxe Edition of Brain Salad Surgery will be released on April 8, 2014, with 180 gram vinyl in original packaging and EXCLUSIVE 40th Anniversary shirts available now at elp.merchnow.com.
Featuring the original HR Giger artwork, brand new 5.1 mixes and previously unreleased material, Brain Salad Surgery will receive a 40th anniversary celebration worthy of its genre defining place in history. Brain Salad Surgery is an album that saw Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer displaying more creativity than most bands achieve in their whole lifetime.
“We are amazed that after 40 years, so much of the original recordings, photos and artwork are still usable. Some of it has never been releasedbefore, but it’s fascinating to hear how the recording progress. We are delighted that this new version will reveal some of these transitions,” says Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
1973’s Brain Salad Surgery, was ELP’s first album on theirown Manticore imprint. With its fold-out sleeve designed by HR Giger, it was all guns blazing, trophy taking, the karmic, the cosmic, the symphonic, all distilled into two sides of vinyl. From their rendition of the William Blake/Hubert Parry hymn ‘Jerusalem’ to Emerson’s adaptation of Alberto Ginastera’s “Toccata”, this was a world-class album. And that is before the side and a half long “Karn Evil 9.” It became their greatest statement, their calling card, the one every self-respecting music fan fell in love with, complete with their catchphrase in song, “Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends . . .”
Full details of the 40th Anniversary expansive edition of ‘Brain Salad Surgery’ will be revealed early in 2014

LIARS --RETURN WITH A NEW ALBUM MARCH 2014 WATCH & HEAR
LIARS : Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross will release a brand new album, the follow up to WIXIW, in March 2014.
Tracks from the as-yet-untitled album were performed on recent dates at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur, MoMA PS1, Primavera Sound and Sónar Music Festivals. The album has been teased by the band in a series of cryptic trailers which you can view here.
The band are currently finishing the album at their studio in Los Angeles and have said that work on the new album was “almost the exact opposite experience to producing WIXIW”. WIXIW saw Liars experimenting with unfamiliar techniques, and, according to Angus Andrew, “Instead of being doubtful, work on the new album has been immediate, fun, instinctual and confident”.
Learning from their experiences with WIXIW has found the band embracing spontaneity and, as Andrew explains,
“Creation for creation’s sake. No rules. No mistakes’.
Liars were recently invited by Hedi Slimane to rework a track to soundtrack Yves Saint Laurent’s SS14 Paris Fashion Week catwalk show. Listen to their 19 minute version of “Mr Your On Fire Mr” here: soundcloud.com/liars

NASHVILLE BASED AMERICANA SINGER-SONGWRITER JACE EVERETT RELEASES VINYL VERSION OF LATEST ALBUM TERRA ROSA AND LIMITED EDITION 12” HIT SINGLE “BAD THINGS”
The Theme Song From HBO Hit Series TRUE BLOOD
TERRA ROSA:
A hallucinatory hybrid of blues, country, boogie, gospel, and rock; CD, DIGITAL AND VINYL FORMATS AVAILABLE NOW via Haywood Group Productions, Redeye Distribution
Journeyman songwriter Jace Everett officially releases his new album, Terra Rosa on vinyl along with a limited edition 12” single version of the popular track “Bad Things” (with B-side/alternate take on Terra Rosa track “Beyond The Wall” on November 12.
He recorded Terra Rosa last year in Nashville with longtime collaborators and co-producer Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Hayes Carll, Chuck Prophet) and multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Dan Cohen.
Terra Rosa is at heart an intensely intimate album. Its invention and irreverence all reflect Everett's own struggles with faith and doubt. Terra Rosa explores tales and themes from the Old and New Testaments. He interprets the Bible through his own perspective, looking at love, death, faith and America while alluding to Sodom & Gomorrah, Jonah and the Whale, and Peter the Rock. Terra Rosa is Everett's most ambitious album to date, a raucous, revelatory song cycle.
"The truth is, all these songs are about me," Everett says, "trying to figure out what I believe and don't believe. It's me going back to my closet and pulling all the skeletons out, looking at the bones and seeing what's there. I wanted to write songs you haven’t heard before.”
Jace Everett has long earned acclaim for his remarkable artistic range and always-impressive songwriting. Born in Evansville, IN and raised in Grapevine, TX, he eventually made his way to Music City, USA and scored his first #1 hit co-writing Josh Turner's RIAA platinum-certified 2006 country smash, "Your Man.” Everett continues to grow his gritty, groovy sound with frequent international tours, raising up a fervent fan following at every turn.
