180-gram vinyl.  The debut album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience was initially issued in mono and then ‘enhanced stereo’ on later issues. The UK cover photography was by Bruce Flemming. Releases in Europe had the words “Jimi Hendrix” placed above the title. These later issues were ‘enhanced stereo’, with tracks listed on the back. The USA & Canadian issues were released after the band appeared at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, along with The Who. It’s art was directed by Ed Thrasher, using a Karl Ferris infra-red fish-eye photo. There is a key difference to the tracks on this album, with some removed and replaced by the earlier singles, plus a change to the running order.

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.

Exploring a vein mined by their heroes The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, Glasgow’s JMC were the link between pure pop and white noise in the 80s and 90s. In turn, their half dozen albums, nearly two dozen singles, and live shows were an inspiration to the next generation of subversives, from My Bloody Valentine to Dinosaur Jr. To The Chemical Brothers. This is their full-length debut, featuring the song, “Just Like Honey”. Pressed on HQ 180-gram heavy vinyl. All original packaging.

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Loving In Stereo is the soundtrack for a summer quite unlike any other. The British producer duo have created a huge disco record for the post-social distancing age, with a life-affirming, dancefloor-igniting, sun-kissed celebration of all the things that make music irresistibly joyful.

Specialty Clear w/ Blue Pink Splatter (IEX) LP. A product of generations of underground music in L.A. and beyond, The Linda Lindas’ debut, “Growing Up”, channels classic punk, post punk, power pop, new wave, and other surprises. Sisters Mila de la Garza (drummer, now 11) and Lucia de la Garza (guitar, 14), cousin Eloise Wong (bass, 13), and family friend Bela Salazar (guitar, 17) developed their chops as regulars at all-ages matinees in Chinatown, and were eventually featured in Amy Poehler’s movie Moxie. But they never expected or could have even dreamed that their performance of “Racist, Sexist Boy” for the Los Angeles Public Library in May 2021 would take them from punk shows to TV shows.
