• Track Listing

Patrice began her evolution from renowned jazz pianist to highly successful R&B/pop singer in the mid-to-late-’70s. This 1980 Elektra LP features her groovy R&B hits "Look Up" and "Never Gonna Give You Up" plus "Don’t Blame Me," "I Need Your Love" and more gems written or co-written by Patrice. A prime-period triumph returns, remastered from the original tapes and available on CD or vinyl (CD includes a bonus extended version of "Look Up," LP includes a 12" booklet)! Strut.5013929107908 Merging ’70s punk/new-wave energy with throwback ’60s sounds and B-movie kitsch, the Rezillos won a rabid cult following at home in Scotland and beyond. They split up in ’78, but their singers Fay Fife and Eugene Reynolds formed a new band, simply changing one letter in the group’s name and putting out a series of LPs and singles before going their separate ways in ’85. This comp collects those LPs and singles plus a wealth of bonus cuts including 1980–81 BBC Radio 1 sessions: "Rock-A-Boom," "Scuba-Scuba," "Voodoo," "Caveman Raveman," "Man Attack!," "Do the Mutilation," "Bongo Brain" and more. You also get a bunch of A- and B-sides, 7" versions, 12" versions and more, along with the LPs "Rev Up" and "Attack!" (1982 version AND 20020 version). So much wonderful campy fun here: "Rev Up!," "Yeah Yeah," "Motorbike Beat," "Juke Box Sound," "Cool Jerk," "Snatzomobile," "Sputnick Kiss," "Graveyard Groove," "Tell Him," "Midnight" and more. Bringing this baby on home are the "Live and on Fire in Japan" collection, their "Totally Alive!" live-in-London recording (’96) and some lo-fi live treasures at the Colchester Institute and at the Ritz in NYC, both circa ’81. Suitably colorful packaging and extensive notes round out this definitive Revillos retrospective! Cherry Red.5013929109308 Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle set the punk world buzzing when they re-formed in ’89, and further excited fans when they embarked on a prolific series of albums and tours. Diggle and especially Shelley again proved that they had tremendous songwriting talent to go with the punk-rock power on these recordings, and that was something missing from so many in the old guard as well as the ’90s punk revival. We’ve lost Shelley, but Diggle provided new insights in the liner notes that join these 160 tracks, many never before on CD and 29 of which are previously unreleased. The 1991 demo album joins the albums "Trade Test Transmissions," "All Set," "Modern," "Buzzcocks," "Flat-Pack Philosophy," "A Different Compilation" and "The Way." Along with "Do It," "Innocent," "Isolation," "Dreamin’," "Serious Crime," "Without You," "Give It to Me," "Soul on a Rock," "Rendezvous," "Jerk," "Keep On," "I Don’t Exist," "Credit," "The Way" and the other gems on the albums, you’ll hear demos of "In the Back," "Can You Dig Me?," "Love Battery," "Sixteen," "Paradise," "Never Believe It," "Your Love," "Kiss and Tell," "All over You," "Energy," the "Different Compilation" hi-fi re-records of "Boredom," "Ever Fallen in Love," "Orgasm Addict," "Why Can’t I Touch It?," "Autonomy," "What Do I Get" and more! Cherry Red.5013929180734 After much UK success on Elton John’s Rocket label, this British pop singer moved to Chrysalis. She began her new phase with a #19 UK LP: her 1982 "Shoot the Moon" album featuring "Heaven Can Wait," "Love on the Border," "Late Again" and more. Later that same year, her live LP "Road Noise: The Official Bootleg" went Top 40: "Chinatown," "I’m Not a Loser," "Sportscar," "For You" and more. In ’83, Judie’s fans swooned over her passionate performances on the studio album "Ritmo," which cracked the UK Top 30: "Shoot from the Heart." "Face to Face," "Another Country," "How Do I Feel" and more. In addition to a 20-page booklet, this 3-CD set brings you all of the above plus six bonus tracks including demos, extended versions and B-sides! Cherry Red.5013929186705 Merging the songcraft and harmonies of the Beatles with the chiming guitars of the Byrds, the Shape of the Rain earned glowing reviews in the British weeklies with this 1971 LP. The album sold poorly, but was rediscovered generations later by record collectors who became infatuated with its unusual hybrid of UK psychedelia and West Coast folk-rock. This criminally neglected gem returns now with bonus demos of the album’s tracks "Broken Man," "I’ll Be There," "Yes," "Dusty Road," "Willowing Trees," the single "My Friend John," live 1968–73 performances of "Ceiling," "Spring," "Woman," "Imagination" and more. You get four hours of music (two and a half of which are unreleased), and a 24-page booklet boasts rare photos and a new history of the band! Grapefruit.5013929187320 England lost one of its most cherished musical comedians in December 2019. Innes flowered as both a pop songwriter and a satirist in the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, then became a crucial collaborator of Monty Python’s. Before rising to yet greater fame with "The Rutles," Innes began his solo career with this 1974 LP, which has plenty of laughs but also straight-ahead pop gems that illustrate his melodic mastery. Neil was working on this expanded reissue when he passed away; you’ll hear "Dream," "Song for Yvonne," "Topless-A-Go-Go," single mixes of the Bonzos’ "Slush" and "Music from Rawlinson’s End," the bonus songs "Bandwagon," "The Age of Desperation" and more by the beloved British icon. Grapefruit.5013929275232 By the late ’70s, Lee "Scratch" Perry was at the peak of his creative powers—and some of his best (though most underrated) work of the period was with female vocal trio the Full Experience. Some of these cuts came out on 1977 12" singles, others were featured on a 1988 French mini-LP, but most of these, somehow, were never released: "Disco Fits," "Disco Devil" (12" mix), "At Midnite," "Ice Cream," "Jah Knows," "Breakfast in Bed," "Sky at Night" and more of the finest female recordings of the roots-reggae era! Doctor Bird.5013929275430 You’ll hear eminent artists, virtual unknowns, Jamaican hits and ultra-rarities among these 26 tracks, 17 of which have been unavailable in any format for decades.

Doctor Bird.5013929471481 After years of being drafted into service by the likes of Thin Lizzy and Pink Floyd, this outstanding British guitarist made his solo debut with the 1983 LP "White Flames." After two more solo albums ("Snowy White" and "That Certain Thing"), White formed Snowy White’s Blues Agency and recorded the albums "Change My Life" and "Open for Business." In ’94, he returned as a solo artist with "Highway to the Sun," flanked by special guests including Gary Moore, David Gilmour and Chris Rea. Everything you just read about is here in this comprehensive tribute to this highly esteemed UK musician, as are 18 bonus tracks including singles and rare sessions. An illustrated booklet with a new essay and an exclusive interview with Snowy join his UK smash "Bird of Paradise" plus "Lucky Star," "It’s No Secret," "The Answer," "Broken Promises," "Land of Freedom," "Peace on Earth," "I Can’t Let Go," "For You," "Lonely Heart," "Snow Blues," "I Can’t Help Myself," "At the Crossroads," "Fortune," "Addicted Man," "Twister," "Burning Love," his takes on the blues classics "The Thrill Is Gone," "Parchman Farm" and more! Esoteric.5013929471788 Founding Spirit members Randy California and Ed Cassidy were joined by bassist Mike Nile on this 1990 LP, released on the band’s own Dolphin label. Fans raved about this recording by the West Coast psych-rock legends, hailing it as Spirit’s best in many years. This remastered expansion features a heap of unreleased bonus tracks: the session outtake "California Band," an acoustic demo of "All I Need Is Time," a rehearsal recording of "Zandu," live 1990 recordings of the album’s tracks "Borderline," "Love from Here," "Deep in This Land," "Burning Love," "Tent of Miracles," live-in-Amsterdam performances of "Animal Zoo," "Mr. Skin," "Fresh Garbage," "Downer" and more.

First official release on CD; both editions include a replica "Roadhawks" poster (originally included with the first pressing of the album)! Atomhenge.5013929848221 The UK’s best-selling female recording artist of the ’60s enjoyed a magical musical relationship with George Martin, who produced every track on these 1966 and 1973 LPs. "Rainbow" hit UK #4, and "Day by Day" (’73) was her last album with Sir George. A 32-page booklet and a bevy of bonus tracks join the original releases; you’ll hear multiple mixes of "Without You," "Day by Day," I Don’t Know How to Love Him," the original plus mono mixes of "A Lover’s Concerto," "One Two Three," "Sing a Rainbow," "Baby I’m Yours"…46 tracks, many new to CD or previously unreleased!

In 2019, Ride rode again with their acclaimed release "This Is Not a Safe Place," which gets a stunning new treatment here.
