What's the Hot New Place to Get The Best Music From the Heavy Underground?  Ripple Music Unveils HeavyRipples Distribution - Psych, Stoner, Doom and More.

North America's Exclusive Distributor for Vincerebus Eruptum - the voice of the underground.

Five years in the making, Ripple Music is proud to announce the creation of Heavy Ripples Distro (heavyripples.bigcartel.com), the best new source to find LP's, CD's, 7"'s, Tee's, Magazines, and more from some of the most esteemed bands in the heavy underground.

Noting that the burgeoning underworld of bands pumping out stoner, doom, heavy psych and metal mania were horribly under-served by today's current distribution system, Racer and Pope--the head honchos of the hard-rocking Label, Ripple Music-- decided that something had to be done.  Knowing that there were tons of excellent heavy bands that couldn't get widespread distribution because they weren't "hot enough" for some of the current heavy distributors, or not signed to a big enough label, Racer and Pope decided to put together a Distro that could benefit from the years of experience and channels they'd gained with Ripple Music.

And Heavy Ripples Distro was born.

Featuring heavy bands from North America, Europe, Australia, South America and beyond, HeavyRipples doesn't discriminate against bands who may not move 100 copies or are self-produced and totally D.I.Y.  The only criteria for HeavyRipples is that the bands rock- pure, unadulterated riff-mad heaviness.  Utilizing a "bare minimum" fee strategy, Heavy Ripples Distrooffers bands the opportunity to have their music distributed world-wide with the lowest possible fees, allowing the bands to recoup the greatest return on their music while getting maximum exposure and the opportunity to offer thei music to heavy rock fans at the best prices on the web. It's an entirely new model for heavy music distribution and one HeavyRipples Distro hopes can maximize the viral spread of the heavy rock.

Recognizing the dedication Heavy Ripples Distro has to the underground scene, some of the leading Labels in heavy rock jumped at the chance to join in, with Labels like Cosmic Artifactz, Buried by Time and Dust, PsychDoomelic, and Ozium Records all offering the best of their heaviness.

And there's more.  HeavyRipples Distro is now the exclusive North American Distributor of Vincerebus Eruptum (www.vincebuseruptum.it), the world's leading magazine devoted to the stoner, doom, and heavy psych rock scene.  Produced in Italy, Vincerebus Eruptum brings interviews, features, news, and reviews of such heavy legends as Colour Haze, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats Orchid, Kadavar, Witchraft, and more.  All in a slick, full-color format and for only $7 per issue.

Check out Heavy Ripples Distro, the web's leading site for the sounds of the true heavy rock underground - www.heavyripples.bigcartel.com.

Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

 

our friends at Sundazed.com are having a special sale, here's just a few of the vinyl specials:

Hundreds of Sundazed Music LPs, CDs, 45s and More at Ridiculously Low Prices

While they last... Seriously... take a look at this!

Blues Magoos - Electric Comic Book LP

Garage/punk/psychedelia pioneers!

The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with the LP Psychedelic Lollipop. The equally impressive Electric Comic Book refines the band's mix of rock ’n’ roll and day-glo psychedelia. That punchy yet playful approach animates such distinctive numbers as “Pipe Dream,” “Rush Hour,” “There’s a Chance We Can Make It” and “Albert Common Is Dead.”

Sundazed’s new vinyl edition also features a replica of the original comic book that was packaged with the album’s original pressings.

This ’60s garage-psych nugget is now available from Sundazed on High Definition Vinyl, sourced from the original Mercury-label stereo masters, with the colorful original cover art meticulously reproduced.

In their '60s heyday, the Blues Magoos were one of the first garage-punk bands to achieve mainstream success, and one of the first to embrace psychedelia. Early in their existence, the Bronx-bred quintet's high-energy live sets made them a popular attraction on the Greenwich Village club scene. Once they began making records, they quickly emerged as one of one of the earliest and most inventive exponents of the psychedelic sound. The band's 1966 debut album Psychedelic Lollipop and its 1967 followup Electric Comic Book, are two of that period's most beloved and enduring albums.

Dick Dale and His Del-Tones - Checkered Flag LP 

Though he was renowned as “The King of the Surf Guitar,” Dick Dale detoured onto the drag strip in 1963 and created Checkered Flag, a landmark album of the hot-rod genre. Backed by studio pros like Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer, Plas Johnson and Steve Douglas, Dick laid down tough, reverb-soaked instrumentals like “Night Rider” and “The Wedge,” highlighting his unique technique and deeply varied sonic textures. The album also features vocal numbers, like lead track “The Scavenger,” penned by some of the top pop tunesmiths of the day, including Gary Usher, Gary Paxton and Carol Connors. Whether vocal or instrumental, each and every one of these songs invokes the sound, speed and spirit of the racetrack, with motors roaring and crowds cheering. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

Sourced from the original Capitol Records stereo masters, this Sundazed Music edition of Checkered Flag is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and includes complete original artwork. What are you waiting for? Hop in your ho-dad machine now and go grab a copy!

Only $8.99!  Buy at Sundazed

Fever Tree - Live 1969 LP

Previously unissued live recording showcasing the final stage appearance by this legendary garage combo’s original lineup!

The never-released 1969 live effort from Fever Tree! Gulf Coast punk phenoms the Bostwick Vines see Cream and Hendrix and bring their tough interpretation of that combination to Hollywood, California. With three unique studio albums to their name, Fever Tree splinters after this live gig in Texas, but not before laying down one final testament to their evermore worth as swooning psychedelic rockers.

Sharpening their chops on the Gulf Coast circuit, followed by a high-profile opening night gig at Hollywood’s legendary Kaleidoscope, Fever Tree developed a keen sense of musical drama and dynamics. This versatility is in sharp display on the concert’s rendition of their underground radio hit “San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native).” For the rest, Live 1969 focuses on groovers, a perfect set-up for the gliding fuzztones of lead guitarist Michael Knust, the sonic organ of Rob Landes, the thick rhythms provided by E.E. “Bud” Wolfe III on bass and John Tuttle on drumsand the dynamic, driving lead vocals of Dennis Keller.

“Don’t Come Crying to Me Girl,” a song originally found on the band’s second album, levitates the band beyond any earthly confines. Elsewhere, the set moves between a soaring cover of Donovan’s “Hey Gyp,” their own power pop “Grand Candy Young Sweet” and a whirlng psych take on Wilson Pickett’s “Ninety-Nine and One Half (Won’t Do).” Playing as if their lives depended on it, Live 1969 captures a band at the height of its powers, forever preserved on this final audio testament.

The Five Americans  - I See the Light -LIMITED EDITION MONO- LP 

The versatile Five Americans were so tapped into the heroic pop scene of 1965–66, they were able to pen brilliant original material that could, at times, sound something like the raw garage howl of the Rolling Stones, the jangle of the Byrds, the psychedelic mystery of Jefferson Airplane or the PhD folk-rock of Simon & Garfunkel. Best of all, lead guitarist Mike Rabon, keyboardist John Durrill, rhythm guitarist Norman Ezell, bassist Jim Grant and drummer Jimmy Wright, put their own distinct stamp on a string of smashes that began with the mighty “I See the Light” in early 1966.

Hailing from Oklahoma, this hungry quintet hit the jackpot when they moved en masse to Dallas and hooked up with the red-hot Abnak label, run by John Abnor, Sr. Their debut longplayer, I See the Light, was a perfect snapshot of what made 1966 a watershed year for rock. The song of the same name opens with what may be the most famous held organ note in rock history, then turns to a stomping bass line that would have been the envy of Slade’s Doc Marten army six years later. “Goodbye” is a perfect extension of the Slick–Balin vocal tandem about to catch fire in San Francisco. “I Know They Lie” has that Byrds/Brummels Rickenbacker jangle down pat. “Don’t Blame Me” and “It’s a Crying Shame,” a pair of snarling garage-rock nuggets, go directly for the jugular with results every bit as lethal as anything ever cut in the Lone Star state.

This 180 gram vinyl-only release is impeccably sourced from the original mono master tapes, the first time the album has been re-released in ultra-honest, bone-crunching mono.

Hot Tuna - Hot Tuna LP  

1970 debut of rootsy side project by Jefferson Airplane members!

Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady formed Hot Tuna in 1969 during a hiatus while Grace Slick recovered from throat node surgery. What began as a rootsy side project quickly became a full-fledged band, one that ultimately far out-lived the original group. Based from the start on Kaukonen’s and Casady’s expert musicianship, Hot Tuna sought to explore traditional blues and folk styles apart from the heavy rock sound of the Airplane. Longtime students of folk-blues pioneers like Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake and Jelly Roll Morton, the duo mixed traditional songs with their own compositions in a stripped-down, primarily acoustic style. At a time when Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and their peers were adding stack after Marshall stack to their stage gear, this was indeed a radical move.

Recorded live during a week of shows at Berkeley’s New Orleans House, the band’s self-titled 1970 debut is an acoustic affair highlighting the country blues approach of their heroes. It features several of their signature songs, including “Hesitation Blues,” “Uncle Sam Blues” and “Know You Rider.” Listen closely during “Uncle Sam Blues” for the sound of breaking beer glasses. This bit of audio vérité resulted in it being nicknamed “the breaking glass album” by the group’s loyal fanbase.

This landmark recording has been sourced from the original analog RCA masters and includes the complete original artwork. A riveting performance from beginning to end, it was the start of one of the most successful and influential branches in rock music’s ever-evolving family tree.

new releases from our friends at MusicOnVinyl

Randy Newman - Faust

Randy Newman's Faust is a 1993 musical based the work on the classic story of Faust. Newman borrowed elements from the version by Goethe, as well as Milton's Paradise Lost, but updated the story to the modern day and infused it with humorous cynicism. In this retelling, God and the Devil fight for the soul of Henry Faust, a student at the University of Notre Dame.

Vocal duties are co handled by James Taylor, Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and Don Henley. Available on vinyl for the first time! 180 gram audiophile vinyl

Miles Davis - Doo-Bop

Miles Davis was on the forefront of many new subgenres of music; he even invented the mix of Jazz and Hip Hop with Doo Bop (1992), a collaboration with producer Easy Mo Bee. Bee was involved in production work for Big Daddy Kane and Notorious B.I.G., which earned him grand stature in Hip Hop circles. Miles chose him for laying down groundworks for entertaining trumpet soloing as only Miles Davis can do. Several tracks on Doo Bop were finished right after the death of Miles Davis. A worthy goodbye to the master of the Jazz trumpet.  180 gram audiophile vinyl

Bonnie Raitt - The Glow

Bonnie Raitt's The Glow (1979) captured her in an important period of her career, taking on popular cover material such as "I Thank You" by Sam & Dave, "Your Good Thing (Is About To End)" by  Lou Rawls and Jackson Browne's "You're Gonna Get What's Coming."

Her tough image is complemented by a polished production by Paul Rothchild, who's famous for putting The Doors, Janis Joplin, Tim Buckley, Love and The Paul Butterfield Band on tape. The Glow is a wonderful Raitt exercise, belonging in the ranks of best Raitt albums.  180 gram audiophile vinyl and Insert!

really enlightening article about the sale of vinyl, yes, vinyl is back, but it is not the all-consuming industry it once was, but the fact that a younger audience is buying vinyl (with Daft Punk selling the best so far this year) and more and more bands are releasing music via the format means that we will have a collector's market for many years to come!

Debut LP "Subconscious Lobotomy" From Centinex To See Reissue

 

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

DEAR JERRY: I am searching for a wonderful tenor saxophone version of "Under a Blanket of Blue."

I heard it on a jazz station and recognized the music, but they never named the artist or the CD. It is all instrumental, with no vocal.

With so little to go on, can you even suggest who it might have been playing?
—Rose Atwater, Terre Haute, Ind.

 

DEAR ROSE: I can't guarantee it's the track you heard, but any saxoholic would probably love Ben Webster's tenor sax rendition.

You'll find three different takes of "Under a Blanket of Blue" on his double-CD, 38-track, "Music for Loving," but on Amazon.com you can use their 30-second samples to help you choose. Then, for just 99-cents each, you can download any of the individual selections.




DEAR JERRY: Here is an unsolved mystery from my teen years, when we lived in Adelaide, South Australia.

Not long after Del Shannon's iconic hit, "Runaway," another song that I thought was by Shannon became very popular.

This recording sounded like Del, and it even had the same style falsetto ("why, why, why, why," etc.) heard on "Runaway." Only this time, instead of the "whys." it is "bye, bye, bye, bye," etc.

None of my American mates have a clue about this record. Might you?
—Wayne Kimbrook, Panama City, Fla.

DEAR WAYNE: It seems you have not only forgotten the song and the artist, but the amusing fact that his last name is the same as your first.

The Del Shannon-esque singer you describe is Paul Wayne, and there is no doubt you are thinking of his 1962 hit, "Bye Bye Baby, Bye Bye" (Leedon LK-240).

Paul was a big favorite of teens Down Under in the 1960s, and he appeared regularly on their American Bandstand-type shows.

That his success in Australia and New Zealand was never duplicated in our hemisphere was not for lack of talent or good material, rather that none of his records were issued in America.

Could there be a better way to kill sales?

This is not to say we don't have domestic records from the '60s by Paul Wayne. We do. It's just that they are by a different person, an American country singer who used that same name during the same period.

The U.S. Paul Wayne (née, Paul Borst) is best known for the 1966 single, "Everything But Love" (Starday 781).

In this case, Col is short for Colin, and not Col. the abbreviation for Colonel, as he is sometimes shown.

The Australian original (Festival FK-3075), that peaked at No. 3 in the homeland, is simply titled "Bye Bye Baby." In 1992, a Festival reissue (K-11245) came out with a title nearly identical to the U.S. Decca disc, "Bye, Bye Baby Goodbye." The more noticeable difference is that the '92 release credits only Col Joye, with no mention of the Joye Boys.

That makes for three recordings of the same song with each credited differently.

If you're wondering how the original Australian Festival sheet music reads, its title matches perfectly with the U.S. Decca single, and neither of Festival's issues, yet, unlike both 1959 records, its cover credits only Col Joye.


Another Aussie single, one with a similar title to Leedon's "Bye Bye Baby, Bye Bye," did come out in the States, but did not chart here. It is "Bye Bye Baby Goodbye," (Decca 9-30933), a 1959 release by Col Joye and the Joye Boys.


IZ ZAT SO? Earlier this year, we cited some examples of familiar 1950s and '60s hits that were banned by ultraconservative radio stations here and there in the U.S. In the big picture, those isolated tactics rarely affected anything of consequence.

However, almost immediately after it hit the streets, Paul Wayne's "Don't Do That" (Leedon LK-477) was denounced, not by just one or two radio stations, but by a higher power — Australia's Federation of Commercial Broadcasting Stations.

Also known as FARB (Federation of Australian Radio Broadcasters), this agency could be likened to our FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
