CURATED BY JOHN RICHARDS

  • A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

    LOW END THEORY

    $33.00

    A Tribe Called Quest’s second album, the bass-thumping, heavily jazz-sampled the Low End Theory. According to the opening “Excursions,” rapper Q-Tip’s old man says the disc’s jazz-rap “reminded him of bebop,” and Q calls himself “prominent like Shakespeare.” But if Charlie Parker had ever written poetic couplets and backed them with funky-drummer and Ron Carter-on-bass grooves this irresistible, he might have been as big as the Bard and Brother James combined. – David Cantwell.

  • A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

    MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS

    $22.00

    Considered one of the greatest albums of the “second golden age” of hip hop in the mid-1990’s.  Tribe were at their peak production wise as they returned to the eclectic sampling of mainly 1970s jazz, funk, soul and R&B.

  • A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

    PEOPLE’S INSTINCTIVE TRAVELS

    $29.00

    People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is one of the finest albums in hip-hop. It’s easy to argue that a Tribe Called Quest reached their zenith on this, their debut album: though they went on to produce other world-class discs. Q-Tip and Phife’s delivery is deceptively simple, flowing like wine and tasting like candy, and Jairobi adds some contrast. The music, so self-assured that it never raises it’s voice to make a spectacle, follows suit. Four albums later, on their last tour, songs from Paths of Rhythm still were at the top of the set list. – Randy Silver.

  • ARLO PARKS

    Collapsed In Sunbeams (Deep Red Vinyl)

    $22.00

    Limited deep red colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes poster. 2021 release, the debut album from the British singer/songwriter. London-based musician and poet Arlo Parks, has been very steadily climbing the ranks as an artist to watch since the release of her confessional debut single “Cola” in 2018. Arlo has received praise from artists such as Billie Eilish, Wyclef Jean, Clairo, Florence Welsh and Phoebe Bridgers during the past year while growing her fan base exponentially.  Parks struggled with her identity growing up; a self- confessed tom-boy who was super sensitive and “uncool,” she says it was like “I’m a black kid who can’t dance for shit, listens to emo music and currently has a crush on some girl in my Spanish class.” By the time she reached 17, she shaved her head, figured out she was bisexual and produced/wrote an album’s worth of material.

  • Idles

    Brutalism

    $24.00

    Vinyl LP pressing. In a time of polarized politics and murky waters; Idles and bands like them are needed to remind people that it’s ok to dance and laugh and sing in the face of adversity. Bristol’s finest post-punk polemics Idles have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their 2017 debut album Brutalism they absolutely fulfilled that promise, and a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, Idles are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, Brutalism perfectly encapsulates the intensity of their live sound.

    Joy As An Act of Resistance

    $24.00

    Idles with “Joy as an Act of Resistance.” is an attempt to be vulnerable to their audience, to encourage vulnerability; a mere brave naked smile in this messed up new world. They have stripped back the songs and the lyrics to their bare flesh to allow each other to breathe and to celebrate our differences and act as an ode to communities and the individuals that forge them because without our community, we’d be nothing.

    ULTRA MONO

    $24.00

    Vinyl LP pressing. If ‘Joy As An Act of Resistance.’ was meant to detail the band’s manifesto, then their highly anticipated third album ‘ ‘Ultra Mono’ – is the sound of Idles heading into battle, battering ram in hand, for those tenets. Sonically constructed to capture the feeling of a hip-hop record (Kenny Beats even helped with programming on several tracks), the songs double down on the vitriolic sneer and blunt social commentary of their past work. Not far beneath the surface of their self-admitted sloganeering lies a deeply complex and brutally relevant album that chews up cliches and spits them out as high art for the masses. Active presence and self-acceptance also stand at the core of ‘Ultra Mono,’ with much of the songwriting done on-the-spot in the recording booth, and the phrase ‘I am I’ serving as a lyrical and spiritual mantra throughout. Ultimately ‘Ultra Mono’ is a celebration of community.

    Sign O’ The Times (Limited Edition, Remastered)

    $34.00

    Prince’s iconic album, Sign O’ The Times, has been remastered for the very first time by Prince’s original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. Primarily recorded between the end of 1985 and beginning of 1987, the era saw the dissolution of his band The Revolution, the end of his engagement to Susannah Melvoin, and the creation (and ultimate abandonment) of the albums Dream Factory, Camille, and Crystal Ball. By the end of that period of transformation, Prince emerged with one of his most urgent and wide-ranging releases to date – an epochal double album that would be hailed as a creative, critical, and commercial triumph. Double 180-gram LP

    KID A

    $29.98

    Double vinyl LP pressing. With the near impossible task of following up their critically acclaimed masterpiece OK Computer, Radiohead took another bold leap at the turn of the millennium with Kid A, an experimental album built largely around the union of electronica and mood. Musically, Kid A is as accomplished as anything Radiohead has ever produced and it’s overflowing with eye-opening musical mosaics which are absolutely stunning in their insight and beauty.  Tracks like the soaring “Optimistic” kept fans loyal and saw Radiohead crowned as masters of composition. A left-field hit, Kid A was eventually nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year and won for Best Alternative Album.

  • THE ROLLING STONES

    EXILE ON MAIN STREET

    $32.00

    Double vinyl LP pressing. 2010 reissue of the classic Stones album Regarded as one of the greatest albums in Rock ‘n’ Roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’ catalogue. Upon it’s release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richard’s mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal Main Street influenced the album title. These atypical circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album’s outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the sociopolitical turbulence that marked the late ’60s and early ’70s.

  • TALKING HEADS

    FEAR OF MUSIC

    $26.00

    I read somewhere that his was the band’s transitional, apocalyptic 1979 album.  This was a band on the verge of leaving the New York scene and blowing up and this was their brilliant response…adding players, instruments and Byrne and Brian Eno collaborating like never before.  They created an album that brought all of 1979 together, the punk, the disco, the aggression….with our current end times, this might be the right record for now.

    SPEAKING IN TONGUES

    $26.00

    Speaking in Tongues, Talking Heads’ first studio release in three years, is the album that finally obliterates the thin line separating arty white pop music and deep black funk. Picking up where their 1980 Afro-punk fusion Remain in Light left off, this LP consummates the Heads’ marriage of art-school intellect and dance-floor soul. Imbued with an adventurous spirit that’s as close to Television’s Marquee Moon as it is to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Grand Master Flash’s “The Message” and Nigerian high-life music, Speaking in Tongues gives new meaning to the word crossover. -Rolling Stone from their 1983 Review

    The debut album from The Talking Heads recorded and released in…you guessed it, 1977.  Fun fact, when Lou Reed saw them he invited them over and gave them advice including telling David Byrne to wear long sleeves to hide his hairy arms.  We all need more Lou Reed advice in our life.  One of the most not punk, punk records in one of the greatest years and scenes we will ever know in music history.

    ACHTUNG BABY

    $31.00

    Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991. Thematically, Achtung Baby is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group’s 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.  You can have your Joshua Tree but Achtung Baby is the best.

It has aged VERY well.  Six songs were recorded live in concert, nine new studio tracks, Rattle and Hum was U2’s exploration of America throughout The Joshua Tree tour. At one point the working name for the movie was “U2 in the Americas”. The live material captures here was filmed and recorded during The Joshua Tree tour.  This was a band at the peak of their powers.

Thus, for a great band with great fans, a greatest hits compilation for The White Stripes is not only appropriate, but absolutely necessary.
