Channel 3 first Poshboy 12" originally from 1981 soon out on Radiation Reissues!
New label! HIMALAYA titles finally in stock!
Just landed from our beloved pressing plant the first three HIMALAYA titles and they look beautiful!
Tongue were a blues-based, organ-fueled, country and rural folk-influenced hard rock band that emerged from the copious student population of countercultural Wisconsin. Though Tongue remains a criminally underrated outfit, and never made it big on a national level, their touring reached legendary status, particularly in the mid-west. They were on the road for 10 years and played 250 gigs a year without flying to a single one of them. Originally issued in 1969, their debut LP was recorded near the beginning of their career, thereby capturing the band during the early peak of their powers. Featuring a great version of Tim Hardin's "Morning Dew", "Keep On Trucking" is a forgotten classic of late 60's American Psychedelia.
Licensed from the legendary Gear Fab label, this is a selection of three obscure 60's psych gems remastered for your listening pleasure: BOKAJ RETSIEM s/t LP, TONGUE 'Keep On Rockin' with...' LP, and the infamous BOA 'Wrong Road' LP.
Credited as one of the best late 60's German
psych-rock albums, Bokaj Retsiem's ("meister Jakob" with reversed letters!)
"Psychedelic Underground" is an eccentric, soulful, acid and fuzzy rockin' essay
that clearly prefigures a part of the Krautrock movement. Featuring Rainer
Deigner, former guitar for the sixties beat German group Former Bonds, as the
only credited musician and composer on this album (although other musicians
assisted him on bass, keyboards, and that B3 Hammond and Leslie sound), this is
basically Rainer's freaked-out tribute to his favorite children's song, "Meister
Jakob", consisting in trippy instrumental sections, furiously savage e-guitar
crescendos, amazing psych-rock improvisation, with just a hint of 60's US
psych-garage. A real enthusiastic Psych-Kraut trip for fans of Vanilla Fudge,
Hendrix, and Iron Butterfly.

Hailing from the Detroit suburb of Auburn Heights,
BOA recorded this little gem in 1971, completely live and on a Sony TC-200 in a
Tupperware warehouse, giving their psych/garage a little punk twist. They did
everything themselves: recording, pressing, packaging, and the marketing (which
at the time was simply not done). A mere 200 copies of the original edition were
pressed on their own label, Snakefield. This is the pure definition of the
'garage' sound: BOA seems to have a lot of fun jamming together in their
warehouse and the result is a collection of strongly psych/prog-flavored hard
rock songs, that sound like a cross between the Doors, the Who and The
Sonics.

BLITZ - Timebomb: Early Singles & Demos Collection LP
Catalogue: RRS16 Barcode:
889397101343
A pure shot of abrasive punk/rock 'n' roll with a hint
of working class Oi!, Blitz were among the most influential punk bands ever. It
was Gary Bushell (who wrote for "Sounds" and was later dubbed the God Father of
Oi!) who brought the band to the attention of his friend Chris Berry, who had
just set up No Future records with a bank loan and high hopes. No Future 001
catalog (and Blitz's debut release) was a 4 track EP titled "All Out Attack", a
20,000 copy bestseller that made the label's fortune, later to become the most
representative of the whole UK82 movement. Its follow-up, "Never Surrender",
reached number 2 in the Indie charts, while their 3rd EP, "Warriors", showed
their slight move towards the singalong-style of classic OI!. Before shifting to
a more new wave-influenced vein right by the end of 1983, they managed to reach
number 2 in the charts with a fourth and last 'punk' single, "New Age". This
1980-1983 complete retrospective features all four aforementioned singles along
with their very first recording session from 1980, the legendary 'Timebomb'
demos, and 4 cuts from the "Voice Of A Generation" demos!
Track list - Escape (1980 Demo), 4Q
(1980 Demo),Youth (1980 Demo), Bleed (1980 Demo), Criminal Damage (1980 Demo),
Someone's Gonna Die (All Out Attack EP), Attack (All Out Attack EP), Fight To
Live (All Out Attack EP), 45 Revolutions (All Out Attack EP), Time Bomb (Time
Bomb Demos), Criminal Damage (Time Bomb Demos), 4Q (Time Bomb Demos), Razors In
The Night (Single), Never Surrender (Single), Warriors (Single), Youth
(Single), I Don't Need You (LP Demo), Propaganda (LP Demo), Closedown (LP Demo),
Your Revolution (LP Demo), New Age (Single), Fatigue (Single), Bleed (Re-Mix)
(Single).
MAJOR ACCIDENT - Massacred Melodies LP
Catalogue: RRS17 Barcode:
889397101350
Started in late 1977 in Darlington, UK, after Con
Larkin and his little brother Paul tried their hands at bass and singing
respectively, legendary punkers Major Accident were initially influenced by the
Pistols and the Clash. They toured the UK extensively before going to the studio, adding
more originals to their set as time went on. However, a very sad fate befell
their early studio activities: both their first recording session in 1980, which
was supposed to be their debut single ("Terrorist Gang"/"War Boots") and the
following one, which produced a completely mucked-up, unusable first edition of
this LP, remained unreleased for years. It took until late 1982 for their first
proper release to see the light of day: produced by Donkeys guitarist Neil
Ferguson, their debut album "Massacred Melodies" finally came out on Step
Forward, supported by a full UK tour with label-mates CHELSEA. The distinctive
'Clockwork Orange' image (they were the first punk band to adopt the look from
Kubrick's famous movie, which was banned in the UK at the time and impossible-to-see
anywhere) and their songwriting, by far more peculiar than the
average UK82 punk band, allowed them to grow a
sizeable following, and their classic sleeve artwork by Paul Dillon started
appearing on the back of more than a few black leather jackets.
Track list - Schizophrenic, (Standing
On The) Sidelines, Last Night, Psycho, People, Terrorist Gang, Warboots, Mr
Nobody, Self Appointed Hero, That's You, Brides Of The Beast, Classified
Information, Middle Class Entertainment, Clockwork Toys.
KLASSE KRIMINALE - Faccia A Faccia LP
Catalogue: RRS17 Barcode:
889397101367
One of the longest running Punk Bands in Italy, KLASSE
KRIMINALE were founded in 1985 by their leader Marco Balestrino, a
singer, fanzine-editor and label-manager whose role
in the skinhead scene over the past 25 years has been somewhat crucial.
Influenced by early Reggae and '82-era UK Oi! and Punk, but following in the
tracks of Italian skinhead pioneers NABAT and Rough (90% of their songs are
typically sung in Italian), Klasse Kriminale's career has been long and
scattered with success.
Originally released on the New Rose sublabel "Division
Nada" (run by Berurier Noir's singer Francois), and long out of print, it was
about time that their classic "Faccia A Faccia" from 1991 was available on vinyl
again, with its original and extremely distinctive Alteau artwork.
Track list - Mangia I Ricchi, Quanti
Altri Come Te, Si Beve E Si Ride, Oi! Siamo Tu Ed Io Vincenti, Runnin' Riot,
Politicanti, So Che Sono Lo Stesso, Lungo Il Fiume, Ragazzi Come Tu E Me, Uniti
Sempre Divisi Mai, Leggi, Faccia A Faccia, Cow-Punk Simphony, Johnny Too Bad.
