MISS CHAIN & THE BROKEN HEELS - RAINBOW
For some odd reason MISS CHAIN & THE BROKEN HEELS called us up one afternoon asking if we would be interested in listening to their new songs. Of course we said NO! We know this band from the get-go, distributed their records, booked shows for them et cetera, but why would they ask us to release a record? They toured Europe and USA, played hundreds of shows, are a well know name in the powerpop / garage rock circus, isn't BACHELOR a bit too small for them? NOPE! After a successful Euro Tour as backing band of NIKKI CORVETTE, Franz and Bruno Barcella teamed up with Astrid Dante aka Miss Chain, and Disaster Silva, another Broken Heel, to record this classic two song 45 at the T.U.P Studio in Brescia, analog on tape, produced by Pierluigi Ballarin. These two songs are teasers for the upcoming full length which is planned for early 2013, along with a long tour through Europe, USA and Japan. Busy times for the Italian foursome, but they are used to it. STATS: 250 copies, black wax, comes with a free set of CRAYONS.

BEATLES - THE DECCA TAPES
"Guitar groups are on their way out", was what the biggest fool in rock & roll history wrote to Brian Epstein when he REJECTED the Beatles after listening to this audition tape, recorded at Decca Studios on New Years Day, 1962. Although the boys (with Pete Best on drums) were admittedly still finding their footing here, and the three Lennon-McCartney originals may be no match for 'Love Me Do' (recorded just 10 months later), these 15 songs still have all the makings of a band whose stardom would soon obscure the sun. SIDE A: 1. Like Dreamers Do 2. Money 3. Till There Was You 4. Sheik Of Araby 5. To Know Her Is To Love Her 6. Take Good Care Of My Baby 7. Memphis 8. Sure To Fall - SIDE B: 1. Hello Little Girl 2. Three Cool Cats 3. Crying, Waiting, Hoping 4. Love Of The Loved 5. September In The Rain 6. Besame Mucho 7. Searchin'
FALCO, TAV -& THE PANTHER BURNS- - SUGAR DITCH REVISITED/SHAKE RAG (2LP)
The Tav Falco Panther Burns reissue/remaster-series, part II! This one contains the Sugar Ditch Revisited EP (1985) and The Shake Rag EP (1986). Plus a previously unreleased 11-song/45 minute live show from the Messepalast Vienna from 1989. Pristine recording by the ORF. Limited edition 2x180 gram heavyweight vinyl. Foldout-cover featuring the original 12"-sleeves. Full colour printed innersleeves featuring extensive liner notes by Tav Falco himself. Stickered mentioning its contents. The master of a raw and shambolic fusion of rockabilly, blues, and fractured noise, Falco was, along with the Cramps, one of the earliest purveyors of what would come to be known as psychobilly (though his version of the sound lacked the campy horror movie ambience others brought to it), and he anticipated the fractured but hard-hitting blues wailing of the Gories and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion by close to a decade.

INDIAN WARS - SONGS FROM THE NORTH
On their first album cover they had a horse, this one is sporting a wooden duck. You may ask if there is some kind of plan behind all of this. Well, of course not. Or maybe that's the plan. One thing is for sure, the plan certainly includes sticking together to write, play and record outstanding songs and release records on small labels like BACHELOR. This here is the third slab of vinyl on that label. The music is quite diverse, you can take a journey through roots country, rock'n'roll and garage punk-tinged songs, but it still sounds very homogenous in its entirety. Yeah, its only blah blah, but how can someone write about this great full length without starting to stutter?! SO JUST LISTEN FOR YOURSELF!
JAY JAYS - JAY-JAYS
At the end of 1965, four members of The Hagues popular Jumping Jewels dumped their manager and struck out on their own as the Jay-Jays. With the name change came a new musical direction, a pent-up beat music sound inspired by the Beatles, the Who and, especially, the Kinks. Their first single, Bald Headed Woman, was a Top 10 smash. The Jay-Jays most impressive recordings were all released within the span of one tumultuous, action-packed year: 1966. Their self-titled album included such Dutch beat gems as Come Back If You Dare, I Keep Tryin, Today Im Gay and the fuzz-packed instrumental Cruncher. Every one of those jumping 66 jewels can be heard on this twelve-inch platter, remastered in dynamic mono sound, each sounding louder, more vibrant, and more crunch-filled than ever before. The album is supplemented by three non-LP single sides, and a previously unreleased instrumental demo version of Are You A Woman. The package includes full liner notes by Mike Stax of Ugly Things magazine. Music Style: Beat, Mod. Exclusively restored dynamic 24 bit remastering from the original master tapes. LP high quality 180 gram audiophile pressing on WHITE vinyl with original restored artwork, housed in deluxe 350 gram carton gatefold sleeve. Rare archival photos included. Liner Notes by Mike Stax / Ugly Things Tracklisting: CHAPTER A 1. Come Back If You Dare 2:24 2. Dont Sell The Sun 2:28 3. So Mystifying 2:52 4. Cruncher 3:18 5. A Distance Place 1:56 6.

MISS CHAIN & THE BROKEN HEELS - THE DAWN
A complex record that deploys a vast array of sounds, so deep that sometimes you find yourself drifting away with your eyes closed, totally immersed in a mixture of country, rhythm'n'blues, pop and Beatlesesque melodies, surrounded by dreamy landscapes, sometimes even bordering on psychedelia.
Q65 - (WHITE) THE LIFE I LIVE/THE DECCA 45'S
LIMITED EDITION 200 COPIES. LP on white 180 grams vinyl in 350 grams carton gatefold sleeve. Liner notes Mike Stax / Ugly Things Magazine. To their fans - then and now - Q65 were more than a musical group, they were a way of life. Formed in The Hague in 1965, Q65s wild, unconventional music and rebellious image quickly inspired a large and fiercely fanatical following. From early 1966 until late 1967 they laid siege to the Dutch charts with a string of outstanding singles: from the roughshod rhythm & blues of Youre The Victor to the explosive psychedelic rock of So High Ive Been, So Down I Must Fall. This deluxe vinyl set gathers together all of Q65s 1966-67 singles for the first time, all mastered from the original tapes in glorious mono, as heard on those original 45rpm releases. The stellar lineup of tracks includes their defining hit The Life I Live, Cry In The Night, the vitriolic I Despise You, the exclusive 45 mix of From Above, World Of Birds and It Came To Me. All four tracks from the sought-after Kjoe Blues EP are also featured, including a blistering, fuzz guitar-spattered version of Jimmy Reeds Aint That Loving You Babe, and their utterly stoned-out, zoned-out take on Robert Johnson's Ramblin' On My Mind. Beautifully packaged with all the original single sleeve artwork and full liner notes, THE LIFE I LIVE presents Q65 in their prime, making music of a deeply inspired brilliance few bands could ever hope to match.

RO-D-YS - TAKE HER HOME/THE PHILIPS 45S (2LP)
One of Hollands greatest, unheralded bands, the Ro-d-ys hailed from the small village of Oude Pekela, in the northeast province of Groningen. From this remote rural outpost, carved out of the regions peat bogs, the Ro-d-ys burst forth onto the Dutch music scene in 1967 with a uniquely original sound that was always several steps removed from the rest of the beat music pack. Between 1967 and 1969 they released two albums, along with a string of unerringly inventive and melodic singles, including the Top 10 hits Take Her Home and Just Fancy. Take Here Home: The Philips 45s is a magnificent double-album collection, presenting all of the Ro-d-ys A- and B-sides of their 45rpm releases in their original mono mixes, along with an array of bonus tracks, including choice selections from their Just Fancy and Earnest Vocation LPs, hard-to-find obscurities like Tomorrow and a previously unreleased version of Flowers Everywhere. All tracks are dynamically remastered from the original tapes. The deluxe gatefold sleeve includes rare photos, single covers and liner notes by Mike Stax - Ugly Things magazine.

SATELLITERS - WHAT'S UP WITH TIMOTHY DEE?
Vinyl reissue of a legendary garage-punk album from 1999 (on Screaming Apple). This was the Satelliters' most pounding, roaring and authentic trip into American mid-sixties garage-punk up to date, mixing harp-driven punk-tunes, raving instrumentals and well-assorted cover-versions (of songs by The Remains, Evils and Bob Seger System). Original copies of this platter sold out fast after rave reviews in Rolling Stone, Visions, Spex and Ox.
SEGALL, TY - TWINS
'Twins' just might be the blast that ends it all... Or is it the explosion that launches a brave new evolution? A fury of rock ensues: songs rigged to explode on a dime, fired from a cannon into the stratosphere. They fuse together into one multivarious projectile, a bullet from a gun marked yin & yang. Vinyl version.
THEE OH SEES - FLOATING COFFIN
Thee Oh Sees, this time influenced by a planetful of warfare, deliver a remarkably darker and much heavier album than one might expect.
