Seven is the seventh studio album by Soft Machine, released in 1973. Roy Babbington, who had previously contributed to Fourth (MOVLP1601) and Fifth (MOVLP1599) on double bass as a session musician, replaced Hugh Hopper on bass guitar, who left to begin a solo career.

Their unique take on jazz rock was groundbreaking. Seven is a highly diverse album combining minimal, spacey elements and some great instrumental jamming. It was also the last of their studio releases to carry a numbered title.

A limited run of 1.000 copies will be available on transparent vinyl.

Son of Dave, the one and only harmonica and beatbox blues maverick is back for another season. 'Music For Cop Shows' is classic S.o.D,, loaded with instrumental hooks, original blues favoured songs, irresistble grooves and sly madness. His music has appeared in Breaking Bad, Bloodline, Preacher and other television crime dramas, which seems to have encouraged him to put the cart before the horse and create a loose cannon of dites harking back to 1970's cop shows. Or not. It's typical Son of Dave messing with you, using ingredients only he can cook with. Fans know it well. It's his eighth album, and he's not made a weak one yet.
Recorded in London at Space Eko East Studios with long-tme co-producer Alex McGowan the songs build upon S.o.D.'s usual beatbox and bass grooves layering up harmonica rifs just like in the live show. Some tunes go a bit further and S.o.D.
plays keys, guitars, and all sorts of percussion. It's all played and sung by the man himself, with Blues Organ' and Hey Aye' the only exceptons, being recorded with super-producer Jimmy Hogarth, with whom he made the album 'Blues At The Grand' a few years back.
Son of Dave is ffy years old, and has lived for twenty one years in the UK, hailing originally from Winnipeg Canada where he was steeped at a young age in the bluesbar traditon. His resumé is long, having had many other successes along the way.
He plans to perform untl his 80's at least, pointng out that there is no pension plan for Bluesmen, and the whole live-fast-die-young game is for kids who can't handle their booze, or their managers simply afer publicity..

The Coral are an English rock band, formed in 1996 by Ian Skelly, Paul Duffy, James Skelly, Lee Southall and Bill Ryder-Jones. The band first emerged during the early 2000s and found success with their debut album The Coral (MOVLP338). Their self-titled debut album was nominated for the 2002 Mercury Music Prize and later voted the fourth best album of the year by NME Magazine.

Magic and Medicine is the second album by The Coral, released in 2003 in the United Kingdom, where it debuted at number 1 in the charts. The singles Don't Think You're the First' and Pass It On' entered the top ten in the UK.

The album title originates from a lyric in Time Travel, the hidden track on the band's debut album: Well there's a
war going on, ain't the obvious one. It's between magic
and medicine'.

This is The Coral's last album with Bill Ryder-Jones, who departed in 2008 to start a very successful solo-career.

The first limited run is pressed on 180 gram 'Flaming' yellow & orange vinyl. Only 1.500 copies are available. This package includes a printed innersleeve and a 4 page booklet with lyrics and photos.

The Invaders (also known as Intruders) was a 3 piece band from Houston (TX) that lasted a single year. Regardless of their short lived period, they managed to record what we thought needed to be heard and shared under Fortune Teller Records.

Once again, it was thanks to C L Milburn, that in 1966 that these songs were recorded but yet again, never got pressed.

Houston was a host to many early teenage garage groups, however they would have a better chance on the scene with original songs rather than covers, hence coming to CL for material.

Rehearsals after school and ready to go, eventually the would get gigs in adult clubs during he week, teen clubs, holiday inns as well as various other venues but never making it to the rankings on the radio nor television. That was reserved to other bands, but that's not the well-known story that we would like to capture.

7a Records co-founder Iain Lee has delivered the scoop to The Monkees Live Almanac regarding their first ever Michael Nesmith-related release!

Michael Nesmith at the BBC Paris Theatre will be issued as a limited edition 12" vinyl picture disc and as a CD digipak. The compact disc version will be accompanied by a 12-page booklet that includes a rare 1975 interview with Michael, an essay by Iain, and an interview with Dave Pegg from the Fairport Convention, who played with Nez in the past.

Recorded in London on November 27, 1975, the concert had been tucked away in the archives of the BBC until 7a licensed the master tapes, which have been digitally remastered. Nesmith has approved its release, too. The album features Nez performing alone with his guitar, singing First National Band-era songs along with cuts from his then upcoming LP, The Prison.

'Petit Fantôme' (Small Ghost) is the evasive and mysterious pseudonym of Pierre Loustaunau, an adventurous multi-instrumentist with quite the collective experience (Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains, Crane Angels, Le Pingouin, Iceberg). He started his solo adventure in 2006 and after a few moving years, he settled in southern France city Bayonne to write the maxi Yallah (2011) and the mixtape Stave (2013), two highly praised records. Three years after Torse Bombé (2014), a 'melodic-grindcore-punk-rock-pop' project broadcast as a free download on his birthday, Petit Fantôme is back with Un Mouvement Pour Le Vent (A Movement For Wind), natural title for this ingrained skateboarder and casual hiker. Pierre himself willingly sees it as his first album. The perpetually dissatisfied but prolific composer delivers 11 smart, inspired and emancipated tracks. Right from the start, there's a clear taste for the 90s with 'Quelque Chose a eu Lieu". With this way, always so peculiar and moving, to crack the armor: voluntarily short texts, like 'haïkus that can mean a lot' according to Pierre. The immediate hit 'Easy Come Easy Go' with a chorus inspired by Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) by The Beach Boys and the immediate charisma of 'Libérations Terribles' will undoubtedly rhythm the start of the school year. Produced by Edge Of Town and licenced to Because Music, Un Mouvement Pour Le Vent weaves between romantic and cloudy noisy pop music, going from one to the other with a disconcerting agility.

Satyn's Children was born out of four teenagers (around 14-15 years old) from Houston (TX) that met whilst studying at their local catholic school.
In order to get one of their first gigs in school they had to rename their band from Satan's Children to Satyn's Children.

It was 1966 when C L Milburn, a 23 year old music enthusiastic working as a songwriter, producer and booking agent for local groups, recorded these songs with no more than a simple 2 track Sony recorder down in their parents garage, where they used to practice.
Unreleased material until now, Fortune Teller Records brings these recordings back to light from a dusty reel in 7" vinyl format.
