OPPRESSED "Dead & Buried" LP
Legendary Welsh anti-fascist oi! band formed in Cardiff in 1981, the Oppressed is the UK punk band who most openly expressed opposition to the racist and right-wing influenced ideals spreading in the skinhead scene in the early 80s. Personally promoting the SHARP ('Skinheads Against racial prejudices') ideals to British Skinheads through lyrics and interviews, both on-stage and in real life, their singer and leader Roddy Moreno lived his life as a mission, happening to write some of the finest working class punk rock anthems ever along the way. "Dead And Buried" collects the first two, self-financed singles by the Oppressed, "Victims" and "Never Say Die", both originally released in 1983, along with their 1983 "Oi! The Tape" complete session. This is OI! music at its best.OPPRESSED "Fatal Blow" LP
Originally out on the Skinhead Record label in 1985, "Fatal Blow" collected Welsh OI! band the OPPRESSED's first demos from 1981/82 along with 3 classic OI! cover versions recorded right before their first split in '84. A document of outstanding importance in the history of UK OI! music back on vinyl, in a strictly LIMITED TO 300 copies edition.
IMPACT "Solo Odio" LP
Official and licensed reissue for one of the few all-time classic lps of the first wave of Italian hardcore. Hailing from Ferrara, early 80’s era, IMPACT , along with WRETCHED, NEGAZIONE, INDIGESTI and DECLINO, set the stylistic and esthetic standards for a musical genre, later to become world famous, that mixed the political vehemence of british tradition (such as that of CRASS and CONFLICT) with the violence of early american hardcore (CIRCLE JERKS above all). Ten songs, a little more than 15 minutes of musical and ideological assault, through which IMPACT became a legend and changed the lives of three generations of Italian punks. Reissued on 140gr black vinyl with printed inner.

MARV JOHNSON - Marvelous Marv Johnson LP
Detroit gifted singer, songwriter and pianist Marv Johnson was a seminal figure in the early history of Motown Records. Responsible for more than a handful of hits between 1959 and 1960, he enjoyed no less than nine records in the top 100 as well as two songs on the top ten chart, after being chosen by the record producer Berry Gordy as the first artist to be released on his fledging record label TAMLA, in which Marv kept recording and working on sales and promotion until the late 70s. Often overlooked compared to the other great R&B stars of those years, Johnson’s rich legacy includes dozens of brilliant soulful songs, like the immortal chart-smasher “You Got What It Takes” and the classic “Come To Me”.
SHIRELLES - Tonight's The Night 140gr vinyl LP Formed in Passaic, NJ in 1958, the Shirelles were four high school friends who went from their school’s talent show to hitting national charts in just a few months. Defining the so-called “girl group” sound with their blend of Doo
Wop, R&B and smooth uptown soul music, the Shirelles were the first major all-female group of the whole rock era, and their success was unprecedented and paved the way to legions of imitators. Tonight’s The Night, the Shirelles first album, originally released on Scepter in 1961, features an incredible succession of hits such as the title track, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”, “Boys” (later made into a standard via a cover by the BEATLES), or “Dedicated To The One I Love”.
SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS - Rare, Unreleased Or Just Plain Weird LP
Perhaps the most wildly extroverted performer in rock history regardless of race, colour or creed, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins has been the inspiration for countless performers over the last fifty years. This compilation collects rare cuts, unissued takes and hard to find recordings not included in his unmissable debut LP. Such classics as "Alligator Wine", "Pauline", "I put a spell on You", "10,000 Lincoln Continental", and "Frenzy" included.
CLYDE MCPHATTER & THE DRIFTERS - S/T LP
Originally issued in 1958 on Atlantic, the Drifters’ debut album, as was customary at the time, was mostly an aggregate of all-killer chart-toppers, some by McPhatter as a solo act, some by the group he led, that had been released over several previous years. A prime exponent of gospel-to-pop crossover, McPhatter brought the church onto the rock and roll bandstand, making his Drifters one of the preeminent male vocal groups of the whole doo-wop era. Includes "Such A Night", "White Christmas", "Worm Your Heart", "Money Honey", "Honey Love" and MORE!
