The first time I heard this recording it was like listening to the voice of God and 30 years on nothing has changed. Insanely rare issue previously only on 78. All the reproductions from the master tape on CD have a fault. This is the only way to hear the original as recorded unless you own one of the handful of 78's known to exist.

Limited run - miss this at your peril ! CHICAGO BLUES MASTERPIECE.

Sams two finest sides previously only on 78 issues now available on one salacious seven inch black wax platter for your delectation.

Hypnotic rhythm and beggin' vocals helped along by tasteful guitar work courtesy of Frankie Lee Sims.

One of the wildest, obscure Rockabilly tracks of all time

3xclear 7" includes a limited 7" slipmat !!!

Fela Kuti, Art Of Noise ("Moments In Love"), Outkast, and a Madlib and MF Doom cut, as scored for the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble by Mos Def himself. Nice!

JOE HUGHES - MAKE ME DANCE LITTLE ANT / I CAN'T GO ON THIS WAY
Thriving Black `Rockabilly' effort from Joe Hughes, ultra rare on original issue.

Belting twin spinner from RPM, one side is a New Orleans driven infectious masterpiece and the other side has killer guitar, nicey!

JESSE ALLEN - LET'S PARTY / GOREE CARTER - I'M YOUR BOOGIE MAN
The two best R'n'B sides on Coral~ - I think so!

JUNE BATEMAN - POSSUM BELLY OVERALLS / GO WAY MR. BLUES
The `other' version, with blasting sax and more lilting rhythm, it's a whole new take from the Possum Belly's

RON HOLDEN - MY BABE / LOVE YOU SO
Absolute classic now re-issued on the original first label, This 45 has been over looked for too long on the scene.

THE SUNDOWNERS - LIVE IT UP / OUR LAST DATE
Nice piece of Texas Rock'n'Roll/ Rockabilly with killer guitar and infectious vocal

Finally on a 45, this is the most raucous piece of early jump blues you are ever likely to hear - Walter lets rip!

Monster `Pittsburgh' two sider.

[V] D2 | Sweet Things - I'm In A World Of Trouble (Single Version) (2:35)

3 tracks of emotive shredding from P-Funk guitar player including the epic title track that made him so admired. Power ballads of the most desperate, and immortal kind.

Dodgers - YOU MAKE ME HAPPY/LET'S MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE
Two tough R'n'B vocal group rockers with killer sax breaks from the mid fifties. Neither side did much business in the States at the time, but both tore up the 1950s Jamaican dance halls and have since become revival sound system clash classics. Who's got a copy of their only other release, 'Cat Hop', to sell me~

Seminal 1951, much covered but never equalled, storming rocker from Jackie Brenston and Ike Turner's Delta Cats, with squealing sax, knocked out outta tune piano, and super-raw guitar riffs. Recorded by Sam Phillips before he founded Sun Records, this is where rock and roll begins. Turn the volume up and wait for the neighbours to complain.

Infectious beat and crazy vocal drive this Los Angeles classic blast - a `must have'

Eddie Clearwaters on fine form on this ultra rare Rockin' Blues twin-spin

Unissued blaster from the ultimate New Orleans master with great flip too!

Great `unknown' female R'n'B blaster from ultra rare label!

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL THEM/ FRANKIE TUCKER - HEY HESTER
Little Richard copies don't come any better than this smokin' female black R'n'R masterclass backed with another fine R'n'B mid-pacer

* 180 gram audiophile vinyl
* Gatefold sleeve

This is a re-release of the famous 'red sleeve' Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits album. This record was a stalwart of every decent album collection in the early 1970s as it represented the first greatest hits package from Fleetwood Mac, covering the period from the band's beginning in 1968 through to 1971.

Fleetwood Mac in their original incarnation were led by guitarist Peter Green and were leaders of the second British Blues boom of the late 1960s. Fleetwood Mac enjoyed several hit singles in the United Kingdom at that time and these are collated here for this album, originally issued on CBS Records only in the U.K.

"Albatross" was a huge chart hit in the UK whilst the single "Black Magic Woman" helped to break Fleetwood Mac in the U.S. via a cover version by Santana, that landed in the Top Five of the Billboard Top 40.

The album gatefold shows a full-size photo of the post-Green line up of the band with Christine McVie (nee Perfect), even though she just plays piano on a couple of tracks and wasn't a full-fledged member until after "Kiln House" was released.

Ray Charles is a music legend beyond compare. A ten-time Grammy®-winning superstar who almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for soul music, Charles proved his mastery with countless jazz, country, R&B, and pop masterpieces as well, during a career that spanned seven decades. His remarkable life was celebrated in the 2004 biopic Ray - featuring Jamie Foxx's Oscar-winning performance as the artist. His time at the Atlantic label (1952-1959) is seminal for music fans the world over.

Recorded in 1957, and featuring a stellar band including bassist Oscar Pettiford, saxophonist David 'Fathead' Newman, as well as arrangements by Quincy Jones, this all-instrumental set is Ray Charles' first jazz album.

Amos delivers as best he can on this obscure but rockin' Starday issue.

BUDDY LOWE - GOODBYE BABY/ RUN FAST, DON'T WALK
