Tons of new stuff this weekend!

First off we have TWO new GOSPELBEACH shirts for you, one grey marble and one orange. These are the deluxe light fabric variety, you will love them!

PLUS we’re offering two new HATS, one for ALIVE RECORDS and one for LEFT LANE CRUISER. Both with FREE shipping!

I’ve also dug around the storage room a little more for you guys, you love that, and found all kinds of exciting stuff, like 30 copies of BLACK KEYS Big Come Up on the long-gone CHERRY VINYL color, plus some GREG SHAW ARCHIVAL CASSETTES! See below for details on that one.

We pressed a few more of the AMAZING BRIAN OLIVE record, Two of Everything, on BUBBLEGUM PINK VINYL formerly out of print and a very limited run. Don’t make me come over there, GET IT! He should be a star, help him get there!

For you punk rockers out there, I found a box of the out of print GERMS 7” on red vinyl, I got a shipment with some slightly bent corners and stashed them away, but I might as well let you guys have them for a good price. AND I organized the GRAND THEFT AUDIO section, that label is defunct and I have the last few copies of their stock, some haven’t been listed in a long time and are going for big bucks on E Bay!

Also got another handful of original 70’s pressings from the early days of BOMP mailorder!

That should keep you guys busy. HAPPY WEEKEND and love to all of you from Suzy and Ryan, your BOMP mailorder team. (And Josh, my tech, probably loves you too but he works from Oregon and doesn't know you as well) Thanks for the biz.

Don’t forget to go to the ALIVE site for tour dates, instagram photos, and samples from our upcoming releases. The NEW DM3 West of Anywhere is blowing us away!

OLIVE, BRIAN - Two Of Everything(Prod by Dan of the Black Keys) BUBBLEGUM PINK MARBLE VINYL LTD ed of 50!~ Label:ALIVE Ex-Greenhornes guitarist & Soledad Brothers) Following his 2009 self-titled debut , which was praised for skillfully blending soulful R&B with raunchy garage and psychedelia, Brian Olive takes us further on his latest full length “Two Of Everything”. Listeners will recognize a number of musical touchstones here (Night Tripper era Dr. John, Exuma, early Funkadelic, Canned Heat, West Coast psych, etc…) but the end result is completely Olive’s own, an insanely dynamic, soulful , psychedelically-rich summer album perfect for intergalactic flight, night visions, or voodoo rituals.
“Two Of Everything” was recorded and produced by both Olive and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys at The Diamonds in Cincinnati, and Easy Eye Sound in Nashville and features a revolving cast of talent including long time right hand man Mike Weinel, Detroit psychedelic caveman David Shettler (SSM, the Sights), Daniel Allaire (Darker My Love), Jared McKinney (Greenhornes), and with Courtney Jaye, Leisa Han, Kari Kragness, and Sarah Benn on backing vocals. The hauntingly beautiful artwork is by Laura Dolan. LP $14 SKU:16918

FIRST CHIPS- VA ( 60s fuzz psych w liners and photos ) -Label:STONED CIRCLE (UK) At a time when musical shifts were almost a daily routine in the immediate aftermath of the 1960s, multi-instrumentalist Vyto Beleska decided to trawl through the archives of his own Clay Pigeon studios, based in Chicago's South Side. Assembled here are past recording projects that utilized some of Chicago's finest underground musicians, whose collaborations with Beleska reveal another chapter in the annals of psychedelia and garage. To mark the early work of Beleska and Clay Pigeon Studios, a privately pressed album was issued in 1972 in a quantity of 500 copies. Circulated locally, the Clay Pigeon recordings were sadly never acknowledged on a national or worldwide level. The time has come to give wider recognition to the inspiring and awesome sounds that came from these musicians. This is the first legitimate reissue of this retrospective look at one of Chicago's finest unsung musical innovators whose early recorded legacy boasts more fuzz, feedback, and psychedelic mayhem than any true '60s rock fan could desire. Digitally remastered from the original recording; includes detailed background liners and rare archival photographs. COMP CD $17 SKU:16651

FOOD- Forever Is A Dream repro ( 60's psych ) - Label:CAPITOL This mysterious Chicago band's only album, which originally appeared in 1969, has been hailed in recent years as a lost classic. A beautifully-arranged set that alternates between fragile ballads, orchestrated pop and rousing hippie rock, it's highly sought-after by collectors and has an ever-growing reputation among fans of intricate psychedelia.

KATCH 22 - IT'S SOFT ROCK AND ALL SORTS( 60s )SAALE - Label: WAH WAH Unearthing another hidden gem from the Saga catalogue. Katch 22 were a bunch of young boys that produced the UK answer to the US Soft-Rock scene. It is ironic that a UK band can be so influenced by those US bands that were most highly under the influence of British popsike! Think of Harper's Bizarre, The Association, The Millenium or Eternity's Children even higher on tea! A surprisingly good production for a Saga pop/psych LP, the album is built up of excellent cover versions of some greats of the genre, paying tribute to the likes of The Left Banke ('Walk Away Rene'), Simon & Garfunkel / Harper's Bizarre ('Feelin' Groovy') or even Buffalo Springfield ('Go And Say Goodbye') and also of some good originals in the same vein. It is certainly an underated period piece that deserves a wider recognition, a great sounding album of orchestrated (and non orchestrated) pop sounds. The album was originally issued on Saga / Eros subsidiary in 1968, and the Wah Wah reissue respects the colourful sleeve and reprints the original insert, with sound remastered from the original tapes by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. Offered in a limited 500 copies only edition! LP $22 SKU:11931

MONKS- Black Time 180 gram-Label:International 2015 repress. 180 gram LP reissue of the classic Black Monk Time LP with a slight title adjustment and alternate artwork. Primitive demented '60s punk at its best."The Monks' only album is packed with angst anthems on the order of 'Shut Up,' 'I Hate You,' 'Complication,' and 'Drunken Maria.' One of the strangest recordings of all time." --Richie Unterberger LP $19 SKU:16797

TRUBROT - ST ( 60s Iceland Blossom Toes style ) SAALE- Label:SHADOKS MUSIC GERMANY) 500 numbered / heavy gatefold sleeve / 180 gram pressing /2 page insert. The music should hit the same listener as UK bands such as Blossom Toes, Billy Nichols, underground with a touch of pop LP $35 SKU:11260
