SHADY & THE VAMP - AS WE TOLD YOU EARLIER (10")
With REATARDS-rippers, BLACK LIPS-shingalings and FATALS-distortion SHADY & THE VAMP puts the deranged teenage youth into wild ecstasy and introduces them to new dances with no names. Slowing down the rhythm while singing in HUNX- and SHANGRI-LAS-tradition to the broken hearted, the fast pogo-chaos changes into kissing lovebirds, lying on dirty beer-floors: Hands get lost, couples become sextets and sometimes a moustache meets a moustache. In 2009 Rickey Rocket & Doc Julius recorded three songs and let them get anonymously into their local garage promoter and played their first concert as "closing-band" for the legendary Englishmen-band THE MASONICS and impressed garage-punk fathers Bruce HEADCOATS Brand and Mickey MILKSHAKES Hampshire: "I don't think they can keep that high energy very long". Since then their killer-song repertoire is still growing ad infinitum. They brought NOBUNNY to cut his feet by shards of beer glasses, they let forget the audience on a dirty saturday night that the main act THE MAGNETIX was missing, KING AUTOMATIC dreams since the two shows he shared with them of a whole band, they gave THE MONSTERS the shivers at their record release party and they also showed JACK OF HEART how to dress properly. In late 2010 SHADY & THE VAMP released their super limited 9-song cassette (so limited, not even numbered) on HIGH TIME records, which was followed in mid 2011 by their 7" Baby, I'm gonna make you mine on HIGH TIME/MONAVALE. It's garage-punk in the way it should sound in this decade. Garage-punk loved by boys and adored by girls. In 2012 they went to Toulouse. During a weekend at LOSPIDERs studio they recorded a couple of songs. The result is a psyched silk-screen printed 10" on Moi J'Connais Records!

DEAD MOON - STRANDED IN THE MYSTERY ZONE
Maybe the hardest to find Dead Moon LP. All kinds of killer songs. Another stone cold classic by the world's greatest rock band. Some call them the thinking man's AC/DC & some call them the working man's Roky Erickson but really there is nothing that compares to Dead Moon.

DEAD MOON - STRANGE PRAY TELL

Rockers of the highest caliber such as 'Destination X', 'Fire In The Western World' & 'Don't Look Back' as well as perfect ballads such as 'You Can't Do That' & 'Out In The Blues'. An utter masterpiece of psychedelic rock straight from the heart. The most requested Dead Moon LP by Mississippi Records store customers!
VARIOUS - BABY, SHAKE MIT MIR!!!
'One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure'. So why should you buy just another damn '60s-compilation, huh? "Because, well well, just because", sez Elvis anyway. Actually, the real reason is that while listening to this album you will get the same kind of feeling that you have when you've just eaten the right amount of vanilla ice cream on a hot summer day! The 16 tracks on this varied compilation are great fun for one and all, whether you are into freakbeat, mod, soul, country-folk or some totally demented German über-beat stuff. Just to let you really stay sick and turn blue there's a hilarious novelty song at the end of each side of the record. This comp is not based on the output of a certain label or on a certain style or region (though there is a slight emphasis on Germany since half of the stuff has its origin there). Nope, these are all just truly classy songs, that deserve to get a wider audience! 11 of the 16 tracks have never been reissued before and there are extensive liner-notes on the back-cover. Now grab one of the 500 copies issued and then shake, shout and shimmy along to these tunes! Tracklist: Side A: 1. Don Adams: Dirty Angels (Germany, 1967) 2. The Modern Sounds: Baby Shake Mit Mir (Germany, 1964) 3. Salena Jones: I've Got The Blues (USA, 1967) 4. Sanford Clark: Hard Feelings (USA, 1965) 5. Uwe Spier: Sloop Sloop Loobey (Germany, 1965) 6. The Sound Alliance: The Eremite (Germany, 1967) 7. Johnny Thunder: I'm Alive (USA, 1969) 8. Miss Venus: Der Apoll Vom Bikini Atoll (Germany, 1963). Side B: 1. Vera Palm: Weil Mein Daddy Dich Gut Leiden Kann (Germany, 1968) 2. Sandy Sarjeant: Can't Stop The Want (Germany, 1967) 3. The Wild Voices Of The Marty Cooper Clan: Raunchy (USA, 1963) 4.

Die 3 Spitzbuben: Rauschgift-Time (Austria, 1968).
LA LUZ - CALL ME IN THE DAY/EASY BABY
La Luz came together in the Summer of 2012. The band began with Shana Cleveland (guitar) and Marian Li Pino (drums) (both formerly of the K Records psych rockers the Curious Mystery) and now features Abbey Blackwell on bass and Katie Jacobson on keyboards. The group brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to their take on the sweet, thick harmonies of 60s girl-group and doo-wop bands. La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, tembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock'n'roll. The band recorded their first few songs with their friend (and ex- Curious Mystery bandmate) Johnny Goss in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a Bothell, WA trailer park, and called the EP "Damp Face". "Call Me in the Day" and "Easy Baby" are two heartache hits from the "Damp Face" session.
BLACKOUT BEACH - BLUES TRIP
The music of 'Blues Trip' is primal and emotional, with Carey Mercer's howl and tone-perfect guitar at the fore, leading these unconventional songs through their charred path. Dan Bejar (DESTROYER) sings on a few songs.
CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND - ONE STEP BEYOND (180GR)
US import. Reissue on 180-gram vinyl, with reproduced artwork and Tower Records labels. The third album by the legendary '60s garage-psych band from California.
DENTISTS - SOME PEOPLE ARE ON THE PITCH THEY THINK IT'S
...ALL OVER IT IS NOW' - The Dentists emerged from the infamous "Medway" scene that had already spawned The Prisoners, Billy Childish, and The Milkshakes.

First 500 copies on blue 150-gram vinyl, the last 150 LP's are black. Comes with download.
HOT LUNCH - HOT LUNCH

IL CATTIVO - HOW TON ASSESS YOUR DAMAGES

MELCHIOR, DAN - CCDE MUSIC
In the hazy afterburn of the lyrically candid Backward Path (Northern Spy, 2012), words are half-smothered in the molted earth on C.C.D.E. Music. It's a backyard wedding of 'Assemblage Blues' (Siltbreeze, 2011) and 'Excerpts & Halfspeeds' (Kye, 2012), with LARD FREE and YUZO IWATA on the bride's flank. The voyage into the sunset of these two involves a roaring mutant chassis and plenty of muddy vistas off the backroads of songform.
RIOTS - TIME FOR TRUTH!
The Russian Modernists are back! Think of early/middle period of THE CLASH, catchy power-pop anthems in the vein of THE BOYS (UK) with hooks and "Oh Oh Oh" choirs as well as opulent arranged mod stompers. In short, a quite perfect symbiosis of the '77 sound and power-pop/mod, mixed up with some swirrling hammond grooves or a Two Tone style track. And after the last track, a driving and hypnotizing 6.40 minutes song, there's nothing left to be said.

VARIOUS - BEAT FROM BADSVILLE 2 (BLACK/2X10")
Music is a voyage of strange opportunity. Out there, if you look hard enough, youll find crazed visionaries, half deaf creatives, lunatics let loose with whistles, juvenile delinquents with a notepad and pen and people who, quite frankly, have no time for the theory of pop. Thank God! This collection brings together two dozen songs by such people, tunes that dont fall into any easy categories and give short shrift to the context of "classic" or traditional songwriting. This is the stuff of legend, the Beat from Badsville. Tracklist: Side A. Spooky Doo Wop And Insane Harmonies 1. The Kuf-Linx - Service With A Smile 2. The Quotations - Imagination 3.
