SHOT IN THE DARK- Collected Photography of David Arnoff - Label:SYMPATHY PRESS AMAZING book, the best of it’s kind we’ve seen. HARDCOVER In his stunning catalogue of the nascent punk scene, Arnoff has captured the essence of a period which spawned many young artists who have become icons – underground characters who have become essential to the development of legions who have followed in the footsteps of these giants. From a baby-faced Nick Cave and The Birthday Party, and fledgling legends, the Cramps, to Los Angeles’ beloved X, and the wonderfully loud and rude of many varieties, this book is a delightful romp through the devil’s playground, with in-your-face concert shots, candid moments with no less than Joan Jett and Blondie, along with brilliant album covers, like the Cramps’ Songs the Lord Taught Us.One of the best rock photographers of his generation, David Arnoff has be described by Lydia Lunch as a “A renegade misfit from the Rust Belt shooting outcasts who congregate from one ghetto to the next in search of other miscreants to make mischief with.”This strictly limited edition of 1500 hardcover (faux-leather bound and embossed hardcover) collects for the first time over 150 of Arnoff’s raw black-and-white photographs and vividly captures the dirt, sweat, altered states and “ungodly sounds” of some of rock’s most potent players. Shot in the Dark collects the cream of the crop, both classic & previously unpublished. It is 186 heavyweight pages of in-your-face concert shots & intimate portraits all in one big volume. Volume – as in LOUD.This deluxe package is supplemented by personal insights and eye-witness accounts from many of the prime suspects including Motorhead, Nick Cave, X, Jayne/Wayne County, Walter Lure, & the Dead Boys, plus a new conversation between Arnoff and Lydia Lunch BOOKS & MAGS $40 SKU:18285

BLUE ASH - ABRACADABRA -70s POWER POP-Label:YOU ARE THE COSMOS BW (HAVE YOU SEEN HER?) / HIPPY HIPPY SHAKE`` In 1972, Blue Ash signed a production deal with Peppermint Records of Youngstown, Ohio. This was the classic Blue Ash line-up of Frank Secich, Jim Kendzor, Bill “Cupid” Bartolin, and David Evans. We made our first demos in June of 1972, which included “Abracadabra (Have You Seen Her?),” and Peppermint sent them out to all the major labels, resulting in Mercury signing us in late 1972. Our deal with Peppermint gave us two free days of recording every month for five years. So every month we would lay down demos of our new songs for copyright purposes, demo references, and to hear what they sounded like on tape. Over the five year period of 1972-76, we had recorded some 219 songs in various degrees of quality. Some were “live” in the studio and others multi-tracked. 45 RPM $8 SKU:18174

I DON'T CARE - VOL. 2: DUTCH PUNK 1977-1983 -PINK VINYL DOUBLE LP Label:PSEUDONYM The image the term "Dutch punk" conjures up for many is that of the pitched battles during the squat clearances and the coronation of Queen Beatrix, in 1980. This is a shame as the equally tough, committed music that the Dutch punks made tends to get overlooked. Prey to many socio and economic forces, and often having to rely on its own ingenuity, Dutch punk was one of the most resilient and flexible of musical movements, spawning bands as brilliant as Ivy Green, Rondos, and as durable as Mecano Ltd. and The Ex. Luckily Pseudonym Records have released 'I Don't Care', a comprehensive collection brimful of brilliant, spiky and often innovative music. Exclusively restored, courtesy of dynamic 24 bit remastering from the original master tapes, and benefitting from an audiophile pressing on high quality 180-gram vinyl, this double LP compilation is a real "must-have" for collectors. The 37 tracks both highlight key players, and give a comprehensive overview of Dutch punk's finest and most interesting moments. This double LP also boasts 4 previously unreleased tracks and versions, an entertaining overview of the musical history of Dutch punk, and a wealth of obscure photos and related memorabilia. Compiled more or less in release order, and spanning the years 1977 to 1983, it also serves as a brilliant starting point for the curious, or those punk historians who may have overlooked the music that these turbulent years in the Netherlands unleashed. This compilation is housed in a deluxe 38- gram carton gatefold sleeve, and the cover is drawn by legendary "punk" illustrator Joost Swarte, who designed a number of classic punk covers.

BLACK MERDA- Psych Funk Of (70’s psych 11-track rarities collection) -Label:FUNKY DELICACIES Too late for the Hendrix generation and too early for the Parliament/Funkadelic gen., Black Merda created a heady brew of '70s Psych-Folk-Rock-Funk. This 11-track rarities collection proves that even their lesser-known hits still pack a psychedelic punch. LP $16 SKU:16392

COLLINS, PAUL- The Beat - One Night (1987 Nerves related POWERPOP)-Label:FRODIS Recorded in the twilight of 1987 and released only in Europe, One Night was the fourth full-length release by power-pop legends the Paul Collins’ Beat. Recorded in San Francisco by long-time Van Morrison band member David Hayes, the album saw Collins and co. enhancing their trademark melodies with acoustic arrangements. One Night would prove to be a temporary swan song for the Beat, and the last album to feature original bassist/co-songwriter Steven Huff; by the early ‘90s, Collins had struck out on his own, casting off his band’s moniker until 2006’s Flying High.

DALE,DICK - Greatest Hits (1975 SURF GUITAR GOD)Label:GNP Nobody has ever played surf guitar like Dick Dale and nobody ever will. Includes 11 monster waves of classic surf rock! LP $16 SKU:18211

IVY GREEN -180-GRAM - GREEN VINYL GATEFOLD (70s Dutch punk)Label:PSEUDONYM Like the Ramones in America and the Sex Pistols in England, Ivy Green were The Netherlands' first and foremost punk band, and arguably the best. Hailing from the small village of Hazerswoude, far away from the big city buzz, the four guys that started the band in 1975 could develop their musical style and skills in almost total seclusion. And yet their simple but charismatic rock & roll was raw and fast enough to propel them right into the vanguard of the fledgling punk rock movement. Their eponymous debut album stands as a bona fide punk classic. Released in 1978 on WEA's short-lived Pogo label, it has long since been unavailable and became an extremely hard to find collector's item. Now this stellar longplayer has been dynamically remastered from the original master tapes, including 2 bonus tracks pressed onto thick 180 gram vinyl and packaged in a beautiful gatefold sleeve featuring the original artwork and extensive liner notes by music journalist Swie Tio. LP $24 SKU:18093

MAGGIES MARSHALLOWS-ST CREAM ltd to 300 (Back from the grave style 60s garage style)Label:GET HIP Influenced by the fuzzed-out, underground sounds on the Back From The Grave compilations and shaped by surf tunes, ‘60s punk, and Mexican soap opera soundtracks, this female-fronted Czech three-piece packs a wallop! Garage, sure. Sixties sound? Definitely. But let’s make it dark and dirty!Recorded in 2015 at Studio de la Trappe on the sunny seaside of South France, The Maggie’s Marshmallows features 12 tracks written throughout the band’s career. Featuring production by the legendary Jim Diamond (The White Stripes, Fleshtones, Dirtbombs, The Cynics), the album is a testament to the group’s evolving moods, tempered by an undercurrent of contemporary musical tastes; an LP filled to the brim with thick layers of reverb, primitive riffs, primordial rhythms—and guest organs by Jim Diamond himself! Dark and dirty, indeed. LP $15 SKU:17915
