Twinkeyz & Maypole LPs in Stock

Maypole
The Real LP
Anopheles
From the label: The LP is an ambitious, 50 minute feast of tight harmonies, powerful arrangements, fluid improvisation, and flat out great songs, and serves as a touchstone for twin guitar-driven, west coast styled psychedelia, soaring power pop, and blistering hard rock - some even call it prog - everyone wants a piece of the Great One. If you've been looking for an LP to complete an imaginary trilogy with S.F. Sorrow and Parachute, then this is your tonic.

Twinkeyz
Cartoon Land LP
Anopheles
From the label: Deluxe LP issue of the best studio recordings of 70s Sacramento garage psych legends, the Twinkeyz! The 1998 Aliens In Our Midst CD is out of print, and Donnie Jupiter decided we'd have the most fun making the music available again on a high quality limited edition LP! Stunning full color sleeve featuring original artwork by Donnie never seen in public before, card stock insert with photo and brand new liner notes by Karl Ikola! This group was the "missing link" between the Sacramento Valley '60s garage band scene (Oxford Circle, the Public Nuisance) to '80s Paisley Underground heroes originating from the tiny Davis/Sacramento cluster of groups of the late '70s/early '80s (Dream Syndicate, Game Theory, True West). The Twinkeyz included Donnie Jupiter, guitarist supreme Tom Darling and Dave Houston (ex-Public Nuisance. The group was a "charter member" of the "first wave" of mid-to-late '70s US bands to garner feverish underground notoriety via small press and fanzines such as Pere Ubu, Television, Chrome, Debris', Distorted Levels, the Dogs, the Mirrors and the Sneakers. Crude distortion ("Aliens In Our Midst"), deep fried post-Velvets crunch ("Wild Love" -- at times rivaling Alex Chilton's Like Flies On Sherbert LP!), Syd Barrett/T. Rex inspired garage-pop heaven ("E.S.P.", "Watch Out For Her Kiss") to the "A Day In The Life" meets "L.A. Blues" tumble of the LP finale, "My Plea"! This edition features two cuts never before issued on vinyl! All the original singles and LP tracks! 13 cuts of the best crude genius America had to offer a quarter century ago.

Both of these are up now in our eBay store!

New stuff in stock, Jay Reatard, In the Red Records, Radio Heartbeat Reissues

You can buy these titles in our retail store, or coming soon in our eBay store.


Jay Reatard
Blood Visions LP
(In the Red)
This is the debut solo outing from the man you all know and love from The Reatards, Lost Sounds, Final Solutions, Angry Angles and others which escape my mind at the moment. Simultaneously brutally aggressive and tunefully catchy. (From In the Red Records)


Mark Sultan
Sultanic Verses CD
(In the Red)

Mark Sultan (aka BBQ the one man band).....singer/guitarist of Mind Controls, drummer/singer of Les Sexareenos, singer of The Spaceshits, collaborator with The Deadly Snakes, Jack Oblivian and The Demon's Claws. The Sultanic Verses, his first album as 'Mark Sultan', foregoing the one man, Sultan decided to do an album recording many of the instruments himself and inviting friends to fill in the gaps. Recorded in Berlin and Montreal, the results are perfect. Proving his reputation as one of the world's finest rock'n'roll singers and songwriters, but also expanding his repertoire by throwing experimental, psychedelic and punk rock into his trademark mix of RnB, garage, soul and REAL rock'n'roll. The Sultanic Verses is 11 songs of creative genius that sets a new standard in modern music. A juke-box blowout of styles and effortless hits with NO FILLER AT ALL. Fans of The Velvet Underground, The Falcons, The Saints, Brian Eno, Eddie Cochran, The Human Expression, Phil Spector, Buddy Holly and great music in general, rejoice. But two copies for when the grooves wear out. Nobody does it like Mark Sultan. (From In the Red)

Hubble Bubble
S/T LP
(Radio Heartbeat)
1st album reissued! A kick-ass reissue from Belgium/Brussels number one 1970s punk band of all time. HUBBLE BUBBLE were ALAIN "ALAN VON BUR" BUREAU, ROGER "JUNIOR" JOURET, and DANIEL "DEE" MASSART. The band released two singles and two albums in '78 and '79 on Sinus Records. And Jouret went on to fame as new wave pop legend PLASTIC BERTRAND. The band’s debut LP is considered one of the best European Punk records of the era. (From Revolver)

Speedies
Speedy Delivery LP
(Radio Heartbeat)

Newly mastered vintage recordings by the kings of late ‘70s NYC teenage power pop, THE SPEEDIES. Includes the underground hit "Let Me Take Your Photo."
