Music Record Shop Weekly

Welcome to the new weekly feature (look for it every Friday) called MusicRecordShop Weekly.  Here we take a look at new releases and some hard to find vinyl that will easily satisfy even the most serious record collectors.  Here's five that we think you will enjoy:

1. Jamiroquai - Emergency On Planet Earth

Supercar lover and showman Jay Kay started Jamiroquai in Manchester during the early nineties, seeing their debut Emergency On Planet Earth receive massive amounts of critical and public acclaim.

Backed by an incredibly tight band, Jamiroquai delivered a Stevie Wonder-esque brand of highly infectious and addictive Funk with a capital F. So infectious in fact, it became a Pop staple almost overnight.

Having amassed a huge fanbase in the UK, the popularity of this horde of planet savers spread worldwide over their subsequent two albums.

2. Jamiroquai - Return Of The Space Cowboy

Best selling sophomore albums are one of the music industry's rarest gems. One example of such a gem is Jamiroquai's second album Return Of The Space Cowboy. Improving on their infectious blend of funky R&B and Acid Jazz, Jamiroquai delivered Return Of The Space Cowboy in 1994, hitting the charts with a vengeance and amassing global recognition as THE leading Pop Funk band. Incredibly groovy and tight, Jamiroquai expanded their compositions into the realms of Jazz and this was accompanied by a positive but critical message regarding human rights and environmental issues. The hits "Space Cowboy" and "Light Years" propelled Return Of The Space Cowboy into all-time favourite status among alternative Pop lovers all over the world. Now with enhanced, remastered audio.

3. Jamiroquai - Traveling Without Moving

Travelling Without Moving [1996] intentionally offers more of what Jamiroquai does best: highly addictive funky grooves with a social consciousness that is matched by front man Jay Kay's charisma. The third effort of Jamiroquai was carried by an inventive video for "Virtual Insanity"; the album's flagship song. Pressed on two heavy weight champions packed in a gatefold sleeve, Travelling Without Moving is finally available on vinyl again, this time with remastered audio for maximum aural pleasure!

4. Raveonettes - Pretty In Black

The second full-length album of Danish Fifties/Psych Pop duo The Raveonettes was released in 2005. On Pretty In Black, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo abandoned the strict recording rules the band laid upon themselves on their preceding efforts (including limiting the amount of different chords in one song, keeping an entire album in one tuning - which was in fact B Flat Major for The Chain Gang Of Love and keeping song running times under three minutes. Instead, the group further expand on their signature sound of Fifties inspired Rockabilly Noise Pop with the eerie feel of a thriller movie soundtrack.

Special appearances on this album are made by Maureen Tucker of Velvet Underground on drums, Martin Rev on drum machine and Ronnie Spector, also known as Veronica Bennett of the fabulous
Ronettes on backup vocals.

5. Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II

If you love quality rock music, then you will certainly have heard Steve Hackett's work on some of the greatest songs of the past four decades. Whether with Genesis, GTR or on his solo output, the man has been a giant of the prog genre. The success he enjoyed with Genesis on six acclaimed studio albums allowed Hackett to subsequently become a consummate and powerful artist in his own right. All you have to do is check out the breadth and depth of the music on his solo records to appreciate that the man has grasped the opportunity to be in control of his own destiny. To create impassioned music that has never become rooted in clichés or stuck in a rut. His latest album basks in the title of 'Genesis Revisited II'. A follow-up to 1996's 'Genesis Revisited', as the title suggests, it sees the guitarist reinterpreting the golden era of the great band - one in which he was crucially involved - while also remaining true to the original spirit which produced such a remarkable string of timeless songs. "This time around, I've tried to satisfy what everyone wants, including myself. Initially, I was thinking of just going for the best songs not featured on the first album. But then people thought I should do those tracks where the guitar was emphasized. So, I've done both. I've also included four songs, which have Genesis connections, where the song was written originally for the band, or rehearsed by them. For instance, there's 'Please Don't Touch', which I wrote for Genesis, but eventually ended up recording myself."

Musicology 101

We also want to have a little fun, so here are some rock and roll nuggets so you can win at music trivia games and become a top musicologist!


The husband and wife song-writing team of Felice and Boudleaux Byant have said that they wrote the Everly Brothers' 1958 number one hit "All I Have To Do Is Dream" in about 15 minutes.

According to legend, to add the authentic sound of a motorcycle engine to The Shangri-Las' "Leader Of The Pack", one was driven through the lobby of the hotel and up to the floor of the recording studio.

However, in an interview four decades later, Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss scoffed at this story and said that the motorcycle sound was simply taken from an effects record.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett, who topped the Billboard Pop chart in 1962 with "The Monster Mash", once had his tour bus break down outside of a town called Frankenstein, Missouri. No, really!

When asked about their controversial hit song "One Toke Over The Line" during an interview with Brewer and Shipley, they said that "toke" had nothing to do with marijuana, but meant token or ticket. Hence the line about "sittin' downtown in a railway station."

The recording of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" that appears on the album was meant to be a soundcheck while the band waited for the arrival of their producer. When the rehearsal was completed, it was agreed that another take was not needed.

While The Byrds were debating possible titles for their ninth album, producer Terry Melcher filled out the record company's official label sheet, writing the placeholder (Untitled) in a box specifying the album's name. Without anyone associated with the band realizing, Columbia Records went ahead and pressed the LP, calling it "Untitled."

It was during his time with The Yardbirds, 1963-65, that Eric Clapton acquired his nickname, Slowhand. Whenever Clapton broke a guitar string, he would immediately stop playing and start restringing his guitar. The crowds would often start a slow handclap until he had his guitar restrung and could resume playing.

When The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia heard the finished tape of The Jefferson Airplane's newest album, he remarked "Sounds like a surrealistic pillow," and the album's name was born.   The LP contained the hit single "White Rabbit," which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.  "Somebody to Love" was also a track on the influential album and Rolling Stone magazine ranked  Airplane's version #274 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Sugar Hill Records Readies Exclusive Record Store Day Releases

Sugar Hill Records is pleased to announce that it will unveil three new, exclusive releases for Record Store Day (April 20). The varied offerings include a live-performance EP CD from Sarah Jarosz, a vinyl re-issue of the debut album from husband-wife duo Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, and a a never before available vinyl edition of the  “Crazy” demo recordings from the legendary Willie Nelson.

SARAH JAROSZ - LIVE AT THE TROUBADOUR

Recorded in August of 2012, Live at the Troubadour finds the Grammy-nominated acoustic wunderkind in pristine form and marks Jarosz’s debut live recording. The 5-song EP was recorded last August at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA. Accompanying herself on mandolin, guitar, and banjo with Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cello, Jarosz’s live performances feature a mix of new old-timey ballads and innovative covers.

KASEY CHAMBERS & SHANE NICHOLSON - RATTLIN' BONES

A staple of the Americana genre, Rattlin’ Bones marked the first collaboration for these Australian husband-wife superstars. Having met more than a decade ago, Rattlin’ Bonesmarks the talented couple’s first full-length collaboration originally released in 2008. (Chambers and Nicholson released Wreck & Ruin, their second album of duets, through Sugar Hill Records last fall.) A critical and world-wide success, this marks the very first vinyl pressing of Rattlin’ Bones.

WILLIE NELSON - CRAZY: THE DEMO SESSIONS

As one of popular music’s most celebrated icons, Willie Nelson has enjoyed an illustrious career that has spanned more than 50 years. When Nelson first arrived in Nashville, he spent time as a demo singer and recorded tracks for Ray Price and Hal Smith's publishing company, Pamper Music. Though these cuts were used to pitch songs to artists (including 'Crazy' for Patsy Cline) and producers, many weren't released. These 1960-1966 tracks are raw, real and exceptional, clearly the work of an artist and songwriter headed for stardom.

All three releases are limited-editions.

More information about Sugar Hill Records, including these Record Store Day releases, is available at www.sugarhillrecords.com.

New Releases

SEA LEVEL: Cats on the Coast/On the Edge


Sea Level started as an Allman Brothers offshoot, boasting three members (keyboardist Chuck Leavell, percussionist Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson and bassist Lamar Williams) from the mid-‘70s edition of the band, but became a major act in its own right with its tasty blend of jazz, blues and Southern rock (in other words, they would have fit nicely into today’s jam band scene).  These two albums both came out in 1978 but chart major changes in the group; Cats on the Coast saw the addition of guitarist David Causey, percussionist George Weaver and multi-instrumentalist Randall Bramblett to the line-up, while Jaimoe and Weaver left and drummer Joe English joined for On the Edge. Despite the changing line-ups, these two records are remarkably consistent affairs featuring such signature Sea Level songs as “That’s Your Secret” and “A Lotta Colada;” they have, however, both been out of print for about a decade and command big bucks online. Our Real Gone reissue offers both records on a single, 70 minutes-plus CD, with notes by Scott Schinder…rediscover one of the most underrated outfits of the ‘70s!

JOHNNY LYTLE: Soulful Rebel/People & Love

Two lost smokers from the man Lionel Hampton called “The greatest vibes player in the world,” Johnny Lytle—both very different from anything else he ever recorded!  1971’s The Soulful Rebel has a great blend of Hammond and Fender Rhodes along with the vibes—soaring out in a massively funky sextet with bass from Ron Carter and congas from Ray Barretto—both of whom take Johnny's earlier groove into a 70s jazz funk mode. 1972’s People & Love is even more impressive—and has Lytle's vibes working with impressionistic larger arrangements—in a style that's like Bobby Hutcherson on mid-‘70s Blue Note, or Milt Jackson on CTI. Notes by Scott Yanow explore the recordings and career of this unsung jazz giant.


LARRY WILLIAMS: That Larry Williams

A lost treasure from R&B pioneer Larry Williams—the only album he ever issued in the 70s, recorded a few years before his untimely and mysterious death!  The 1978 Fantasy set's got a heavy funk feel on most numbers—a great reworking of Williams' earlier groove, set to backings that feature Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker on horny horns, plus Rudy Copeland on keyboards!  The approach is similar to the 70s grooves used by Larry's west coast contemporary Johnny Guitar Watson—although sadly, this album never brought Williams the same sort of comeback fame. Gene Sculatti contributes liner notes that delve into Williams’ curious career.


ALLSPICE: Allspice

Sublime grooves from Allspice—a group who only gave the world this one and only 1977 album (released on the At-Home label), but who sparkle strongly throughout—thanks to help from ‘70s maestro Wayne Henderson!  Henderson produces the group in a tight blend of soul, funk, and jazz—similar to his more famous productions for Side Effect and Pleasure—but with an even deeper sound overall.  The vocals are sublime, a great mix of male and female leads laced with warm harmonies, backed by the impeccable instrumentation that is characteristic of a Henderson production. Liner notes by Bill Dahl examine the career and work of this one-off.


BLUE OYSTER CULT: Imaginos

The tangled history of Imaginos, Blue Oyster Cult’s last (1988) album for Columbia, has passed into legend for BOC fans. The name and concept comes from late-‘60s sci-fi/fantasy writings by band manager/producer Sandy Pearlman that inspired the original band name; they then became the basis for a planned trilogy of solo albums by BOC drummer/songwriter Albert Bouchard, who had been working on the material since the early ‘70s with Pearlman. After Bouchard was fired from the band in 1981, he recorded a 90-minute album with such sidemen as Aldo Nova and the Doors’ Robbie Krieger, but this version of the album was rejected by Columbia execs in 1984. After the release and commercial disappointment of BOC’s Club Ninja, Pearlman then resurrected the idea and began production in 1986, adding vocals by BOC’s Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom and guitar parts by Joe Satriani among many others. The result was—no surprise—BOC’s most controversial album (and ironically, the first in years to feature the original line-up), probably their heaviest and most proggy outing, and an appropriately complex swan song for a complex band. Our Real Gone reissue features a new 2012 remix and new notes by BOC expert Scott Schinder, along with the original album and inner sleeve art.

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 18, 2013

DEAR JERRY: A very popular record in northeastern Minnesota in the early 1960s is "My Mind's Made Up," by the Renowns. I think it might have even been No. 1 in the Duluth-Hibbing market.

In the years since, I have never heard this or anything else by the Renowns. Any idea how it was received or how successful it was elsewhere?
—Ken Troyer, Meadowlands, Minn.


DEAR KEN: When released in January 1961, the first, and as best we can tell the last, record by the Renowns met with great enthusiasm in your area because the band hailed from Hibbing.

"My Mind's Made Up," backed with "Wild One" (not the 1960 Bobby Rydell hit), is a split of sorts. The A-side features a Wanda Jacksonesque Marjorie Lake, while Andrew Nash handles the vocal on "Wild One" (Everest 19396).

In their January 30th issue, Billboard gave Lake's "My Mind's Made Up" a Special Merit Spotlight and a four-star (i.e., "Strong Sales Potential") review: "[Marjorie] sells this swinging rocker with a lot of spirit, with a wild [guitar] backing."

Inexplicably, one of the best records of its day never appeared on any of the national charts. No wonder this has become a $75 to $100 single.

Oh yeah, in January 1961, Robert Allen Zimmerman — born in Duluth and raised in Hibbing — left Minnesota for New York City to embark on an amazing career as Bob Dylan.


DEAR JERRY: Here is a faded '60s memory that I hope you can restore.

Every Friday afternoon, one of the St. Louis stations, possibly KWK, unveiled the Top 10 tunes for the new week.

I recall once when nine of the Top 10 were either all or in part by females, and they made a big deal out of it.

I think the only male that week was Roy Orbison, if that helps.
—Maria Fernando, Florissant, Mo.

DEAR MARIA: Those few years leading up to the 1964 British Invasion were the summit of the girl group era. Soon, even the two top ladies of the decade, Connie Francis and Brenda Lee, could no longer count on virtually every one of their singles becoming a hit.

Whether or not your dial was on KWK 1380 ("The Talk of the Town"), I can't say. But based on the nationwide surveys in mid-April 1963, I am quite certain about the songs, and will make this educated guess as to how they lined up:


1. "He's So Fine" (Chiffons)
3. "South Street" (Orlons)
4. "The End of the World" (Skeeter Davis)
5. "Our Day Will Come" (Ruby and the Romantics)
6. "I Will Follow Him" (Little Peggy March)
7. "Puff the Magic Dragon" (Peter, Paul & Mary)
8. "Young Lovers" (Paul and Paula)
9. "Do the Bird" (Dee Dee Sharp)
10. "Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby)" (Cookies)

It may surprise you to rediscover that the man in that week's Top 10 was Andy Williams, with "Can't Get Used to Losing You."

For four consecutive weeks that spring, Andy held the No. 2 position, topped first by the Chiffons (two weeks), then Little Peggy March (two weeks).

In late March and early April, Roy Orbison was in the Top 10 with "In Dreams," but he and the other men (Bobby Darin, Cascades, and Bill Pursell) dropped out when the women moved up in the rankings.

On the national level, Jackie Wilson's "Baby Workout" was in the Top 10 in March and April, but you recall there being just one male in the local countdown, so that would point more to Andy than Jackie.


IZ ZAT SO? For most of the 520 weeks that make up the 1960s, there is at least one female in the nation's Top 10. Included in this category are all-girl groups, plus any configuration with a woman in their name, from duos and trios (April Stevens & Nino Tempo; Peter, Paul and Mary, etc.) to larger flocks (Kathy Young and the Innocents; Gladys Knight and the Pips, etc.)

Mixed-gender groups such as the 5th Dimension and Edwin Hawkins Singers do not include a woman's name, and are not counted in this search.

By far, the worst year for the gals in the Top 10 is 1969. It was dreadful.

For nearly all of the first quarter we had the usual mix of artists in the Top 10, with only one week (March 1) when it was all males.

Then, from March 29 through August 8 (19 weeks), no qualifying female acts made it. The shutout ended briefly from August 9 through September 19, while Jackie DeShannon's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" shuffled around between No. 9 and No. 4.

When DeShannon departed, the feminine famine resumed for another 10 weeks, September 20 through November 28, when Peter, Paul and Mary's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" ended the drought.

The astonishing summation of 1969 is that no women's names appear in 30 of the 52 Top 10 lists.

Release Dates:
April 30, 2013 - N.America  April 26, 2013  - Germany/Benelux  April 29, 2013 - UK/World

FORMAT: CD/LP/Digital

Howl returns to the scene with ‘Bloodlines’ the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut full length ‘Full Of Hell’.  Several years of relentless touring with the likes of Saint Vitus, Kylesa, Pentagram and many many more has paid off in spades, as ‘Bloodlines’ finds Howl having grown into a fully developed metal beast.   With producer Zeus (Hatebreed, Crowbar, Terror, etc) at the helm, Howl have settled into their groove as masters of the riff.  This is a pummeling, aggressive, muscle-y record that will leave you humming its hooks after it kicks out your teeth.   


COUGH / WINDHAND - Reflection of the Negative

Release Dates:
April 16, 2013 -  N.America  April 12, 2013  - Germany/Benelux  April 15, 2013 -  UK/World

Richmond, Virginia’s twin titans of doom team up for the split album of the year with ‘Reflection Of The Negative’.  Cough deliver a typically electrifying one song down-tuned epic side, while Windhand serve up two brand new songs for their half of the dirge.  This is premier doom at its absolute gloomiest.   

Exclusive Relapse super limited edition mailorder only black/white combo vinyl available.

this from Drew at THE PLANETARY GROUP i love this video!

Kurt Von Stetten's new record Androlafi is out now and here is the just released video!

Kurt's new video for "Anthropos Elafi," much like his music, was done entirely by himself. He hand-painted the backgrounds, and scanned the animation to create the beautiful, dreamlike landscape that perfectly encapsulates the song.

SHARKMUFFIN

Infectious New Single,“Femebot”

“Frontwoman Tarra Thiessen, who’s vocal performance on the track is A+, reminds a bit (in a very good way) of Chrissie Hynde.” -Blah Blah Blah Science



Fresh off the heals of SXSW, SHARKMUFFIN, are back and have a brand new song waiting for your ears. Off of the highly anticipated EP, She Gods of Champagne Valley, due out next month, the band has just unleashed the debut single, “Femebot,” on Newtown Radio. Filled with hard hitting hooks and boisterous, infectious vocals, singer/guitarist Tarra Thiessen, creates a frenzy with her knack for Riot Grrrl-esque attitude. Alongside bassist Natalie Kirch with Drew Adler on drums the trio create a deadly combination, best described as “Dirty Garage Pop.” Thiessen's gutsy vocals will send shivers down your very spine which jump between gentle moans and rough, forceful screams. Her vocals are sweetly complimented by Kirch's lighter, dreamier melodies which create an astounding performance. Their admiration for 90s alternative Grrrl group-esque hooks are paired perfectly with heavy 1970s inspired guitar riffs that create a raw sound like nothing you've ever heard. Jump into the water, and hear why Sharkmuffin has everyone talking...
