Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983

It can be difficult to capture the live power of band on a studio recording. Thankfully, Lone Justice (Maria McKee, Ryan Hedgecock, Marvin Etzioni, and Don Heffington) went into Suite 16 Studios in December of 1983 and laid down much of the set list they were packing Los Angeles area clubs with.

Recorded direct to 2-track tape by engineer David Vaught and with no overdubs, those twelve tracks can finally be heard in their entirety as This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983. As Billboard’s Chris Morris writes in his liner notes, the release “offers the best representation of the band in its infancy—hot, full of piss and vinegar, and ready to take on the world.”

Nine of these twelve tracks are previously unissued, and include originals (including “Soap, Soup And Salvation”, which would appear on their Geffen debut two years later) to the covers they made their own in concert (Johnny Cash and June Carter (Cash)’s “Jackson” and “Nothing Can Stop My Loving You,” written by George Jones and Roger Miller.)

Available on CD and LP (with the first pressing on translucent red vinyl), in addition to Morris’ liners, the package contains an essay from the band’s Ryan Hedgecock, as well as a remembrance of David Vaught from Marvin Etzioni and an loving endorsement from Dolly Parton. With unseen photos and memorabilia, this collection is what Lone Justice fans have been waiting for. This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983 takes us back to a time when music had an energy that was hard to contain. Thanks to that studio in Van Nuys, CA, and this release, Justice has been served!

The Blues Brothers 'Briefcase Full of Blues' Being Reissued On Vinyl

'Briefcase Full Of Blues,' the debut album from The Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Akroyd) is going to be reissued on vinyl and is now up for pre-order. The album is being pressed on 180-gram vinyl (for the first time) while being mastered from the original tapes.

Recorded in 1978 at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, the late great John Belushi and Dan Akroyd opened a set before comedian and good friend Steve Martin. To the crowd’s amazement, the duo blasted them a blistering rock ‘n’ blues performance which was captured on tape for their first album Briefcase Full Of Blues. They later appeared on SNL and the rest as they say is history, as this stunt became reality in no time and thus began a short lived but amazing piece of rock and blues history.

Released during the holiday season, the album became a number one smash and netted two smash singles with the classic nod to the Stax sound with Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man” as well as the ‘50s doo wop classic, “Rubber Biscuit.”  Pre-Orders are now being accepted at Amazon.

The reissue will be released on February 25th.

Warpaint's New Album On Red Vinyl

We're extremely excited to share Warpaint's mesmerising second album 'Warpaint' with you, a week before release (20th Jan UK / 21st Jan US)!

WARPAINT is a Los Angeles based quartet comprised of Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), Theresa Wayman (guitar/vocals), and Stella Mozgawa (drums). To say that this follow-up is "highly anticipated" is an understatement considering the reception that their debut received when it was released at the end of 2010.

Warpaint was recorded and mixed by Flood, aside from two songs that were mixed by Nigel Godrich. The album was conceived after some truly inspirational writing and recording sessions that took place in The Joshua Tree late last year. The band was joined there by visionary director Chris Cunningham, who has partnered with them for many of the album visuals including the cover. He spent two years filming and photographing the band as they made new music.

Warpaint is a well-oiled machine. They weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals and driving post punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between psychedelia and intimacy. Both live and on record, Warpaint sound like they're channeling something truly otherworldly, and mystical. They are also a band that truly enjoys playing together. Emily and Theresa have been friends since they were kids, and the bond that the four of them have is truly special.

All LPs come on red colored vinyl and include and MP3 download.

Pre-orders include an instant-grat download of Love Is To Die MP3
