Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

+++ UNRELEASED GARAGE ROCK FROM 1969 +++

It does not happen very often anymore that unreleased music from 50 years ago surfaces. And it's even more unlikely that the songs put on tape are such treasures. But that is exactly what we have here. The Morning Reign was a crowd pleasing band that played throughout the Pacific Northwest during the years between 1966 and 1972. Their journey was peppered with lots of travel, whether they were playing gigs in Crescent City or Aspen, and they also made a gaggle of trips to LA to record, or once, to film a TV appearance. Surprisingly, the band has released only four 45rpm singles during their existence although they had recorded enough material for an entire album. However, the songs remained in the can.

This is the story of The Morning Reign, a band of young fellas which could have become famous and mentioned in the same breath as The Doors, Eric Burdon & WAR, and all the other music legends of the Garage-Rock era - if their songs had been released back in the day. Dive in and enjoy the sound of Morning Reign, it is truly special. We here at Perfect Toy Records are thrilled to be the label to finally release their work, and we sincerely hope that they will finally receive the worldwide appreciation they so richly deserve.

This strictly limited 7INCH single (250 copies) gives you a foretaste of the full length album entitled "Can't Get Enough Of It" which will be released on 26th October 2018. The album will contain the full length versions of both tunes.

'Yesterday Was Forever' is Kate Nash's fourth album and the first since her self-released 2013 LP 'Girl Talk', which she put out in a blaze of glory after being dumped by her record label via text.

Nash's history involves a helluva lot of highs and lows, as the youngest, loudest, sharpest new British ingenue back in 2007, she was launched as a major label product. A BRIT school graduate, she started writing pop aged 14. Those songs

went on to inform her #1 record and Brit-Award gleaning debut 'Made Of Bricks'. She sold-out huge gigs. It was a whirlwind; not one that always felt comfortable. At 20, she rebelled, changing tack on album two. Channeling

Kathleen Hanna and riot grrrl punk, she made the far less commercial album 'My Best Friend Is You' (2010), while also having her high-profile relationship be subjected to intense media scrutiny, it was ultimately a career shifting time.

Now aged 30, Nash finds herself in a great place, she's rediscovered her love for pop, launched a stellar acting career, (currently starring in the female wrestling series 'GLOW' - Series 2 has been nominated for 10 Emmys) and

found communities of intersectional activists and progressive new voices to get involved in.

On their very first shot, Count Five, one of America's most exciting mid-60s garage rock groups, hit the bulls-eye. And, fittingly, on Double Shot Records, a hot new label that was also making its debut. For both, it was a giant hit, "Psychotic Reaction," a driving, pulsating sound that zoomed to the top of the charts. To the five youngsters from San Jose, CA, "over-night" success came after 18 months of rehearsals, experimentations and unique innovations. Thanks to a tip from popular disk jockey Brian Lord, Double-Shot Records signed Count Five to a long-term contract in the summer of '66. The instant success of "Psychotic Reaction" prompted the release of this album of the same name, their one and only full-length studio record, which also includes covers of The Who's "My Generation" and "Out In The Street." 180g vinyl reissue with Stoughton jacket packaging.

In The Red is proud to announce this brand new 7-inch EP from Cleveland, Ohio's Archie & the Bunkers. The band consists of teenage brothers Emmett (drums/vocals) and Cullen O'Conner (organ/vocals) who have been pounding out their stripped-down brand of crazed rock 'n' roll since 2014. Their live shows have to be seen to be believed. Anyone who has seen them live or is familiar with their previous releases on Smog Veil, Dirty Water and Norton knows these guys are the real deal and they aren't messing around.
In The Red HQ are of the firm belief that The Damned are one of the greatest rock n'roll bands of all time. It turns out Archie & the Bunkers share this feeling and have been known to cover the Damned frequently and have performed entire sets of their music. They even jammed with the band on their last US tour, having a better memory of how some of their early material went than the men who wrote it! Therefore ITR is happy that the band have agreed to cover some of their favorite Damned selections, doing
them in their own frantic, bare bones style. Recorded by Jim Diamond in Detroit, the results here are glorious!

In 1998, things were going south for friends Jay Reatard, Eric Oblivian, and King Louie Bankston. In between broken relationships, shattered homes, dissolving bands, and feeling low down, a collaboration was proposed. Jay and Eric trekked down from Memphis with some songs and ideas for songs, listening to Funkadelic and bad Killed By Death-styled punk songs for the six hours to see Louie in New Orleans. One day was spent learning songs, one day recording songs. Eventually they played one show in Normal, IL, opening up for Guitar Wolf. The result of this recording was a blast of punk, garage punk, and psychedelic mayhem. Indeed, the hours listening to Funkadelic did pay off. Jay stole some lyrics and some heavy fuzz solo style from George Clinton and the gang. Eric stole a couple songs from Japanese punk legends Friction and Texaco Leather Man, and tried to mention his favorite sumo wrestler Konishiki whenever possible. Fittingly, when Jay and Eric returned to Memphis, Jay found all his belongings—clothes, guitars, amplifiers—out on his front lawn, as his mom had returned to their house and kicked him out while he was away. Bad Times, indeed! A release on Sympathy For The Record Industry combined tracks from this session and from their one live show, and has become a cherished collector's item going for top dollar on the secondhand market. This edition restores the original tracks from the recording session—Eric's Wrong Way To Love' and Jay's Lick On My Leather,' eliminating two live tracks. A new track order provides a punchy new way to experience the music as well, and the music has been carelessly remastered from a dub of the original cassette. Behold the final product—this is how the Bad Times was meant to be heard!

Holly Golightly (real name) started her musical career as a founder member of all girl garage band Thee Headcoatees, a Billy Childish /Thee Headcoats splinter group in 1991. She spent four years as a Headcoatee before breaking away to release her debut record, The Good Things, in 1995. Where the Headcoatees sound was a blend of girl group sounds and three-chord garage-rock with all the original songs coming from the pen of Billy Childish, Holly's solo sound is more a blend of pre-rock electric blues, folk rock, and less frantic rock 'n' roll. Apart from the wide range of covers of such artists as Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers, Golightly also writes most of her own material. Holly Golightly is definitely the most interesting and diverse artist to come out of the Billy Childish school and is certainly one of the better singer/songwriters of the post-grunge era who gets better with every album. Since her debut in 1995, Golightly has been very prolific, releasing a string of classic long play records and loads of singles for a wide variety of labels as well as touring extensively in America, Australia & Europe. This double vinyl LP, (or single CD newly packaged in a digipack) compiles Holly's first twelve 7' singles, A & B-sides. It includes the bluesy 'No Big Thing' with its bar-room piano and harmonica backing, the dirty guitar-driven 'Til I Get, the shuffling brushed drums and double bass of 'Come The Day, the haunting vocal and bottleneck guitar of 'Stain' and finishes with a brilliant up-tempo cover of Pavement's 'Box Elder'.

Prior To Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Courtney Love And Other Era-defining Women In Rock, There Were The Girls In The Garage. Like Their Male Counterparts Discovered, Being In A Band Was Not Only Cool And Alluring, It Was Sexual And Ultimately Political Without Making A 'political' Statement. The Garage Band Was A Medium That Enabled A Voice To Be Heard, An Adolescent Fury Of Angst And Frustration Or Plain Old Hormones. Girls In The Garage Captures The Raw Essence Of Those Juvenile Dreams Played Out Through Guitars, Drums, Mics And Amplifiers. Prevailing Gender Roles Would Be Tested, As Rock 'n' Roll Became Someone Else's Domain The Girls!!

The Arrival Of Rock 'n' Roll And The Teenager Not Only Belonged To The Boy Next Door, It Aroused The Aspirations And Emotions Of The Girl. Although It's Been Said That It Was Rare For A Girl Group To Play On Their Own Records In The Mid-1960s, They Were Not Alone. On Both Sides Of The Atlantic, Cynical And Shrewd Producers Largely Employed Session Musicians, Afraid Of Any Conceivable Faults At The Hands Of Such Young And Innocent Hands, Male And Female. The Ones Who Didn't Were Bold Visionaries That Believed Not Only In A New Generation's Ambitions, But Capabilities Too. As The Rise Of A Female Presence In Rock 'n' Roll Rose Through The Appearance Of Figures Such As The Vejtables' Jan Errico, The Honeycombs' Honey Lantree, And The Fabulous Maureen Tucker (whose Deliberately Primal Technique Is Such An Undervalued Part Of The Velvet Underground's Sound), So Too Did The Rise Of All-female Bands. Liverpool's Liverbirds And Hull's Mandy And The Girlfriends Gave Weight To The Idea That It Was 'normal' And Paved The Way For Likeminded Girls To Drop The Dream Boy And Pick Up The Guitar!

Although, The Prevailing Attitude Amongst Both Major And Independent Record Labels Was Never Going To Be Inspiring Or Welcoming, Like The Wailing Blues Mamas Such As Memphis Minnie Or Jessie Mae Hemphill, Times Were-a-changin' And Girls Didn't Just Want To Have 'fun'. Emerging Groups Such As The Pleasure Seekers, White Boots, Ace Of Cups, Bittersweets, And The Luv'd Ones Were Playing Rock 'n' Roll On Their Own Terms Whilst Breaking New Ground - Whether They Were Trying To Or Not. Prepare Yourself, As Hell Hath No Fury Like....

The Olivers from Fort Wayne, Indiana evolved out of the Serfmen, a very popular band in the region, that had already released two nowadays rare 45's on their own Nemfres label. When the Serfmen signed with Dino Enterprises, an Indianabased agency in 1966, original member Greg Church left the band and was replaced by Billy Franze from another local group, The Unexpected. The Band then moved in a more British invasion direction for their music and outfit and changed name to "The Olivers". The line-up at the time consisted of Jay Penndorf (guitar, vocals), Chuck Hamrick (drums), Carl Aldrich (keyboards, vocals) and Billy Franze (bass, vocals). The group's sole 7" release, "I Saw What You Did" b/w "Beeker Street" was recorded at Cap Studios in Portage, MI and was released with a Picture Sleeve later that year on the local Phalanx Label. The single got picked up by RCA Records for nationwide release and is rated today as one of the best and most exciting double sided major label garage 45s of the 1960s. Break-A-Way has re-issued the 45 with its original front sleeve and a newly designed backcover feat a short band history and unseen pictures.

Kjoe Bloes is a four track single with "Nederbeat" style songs all recorded in MONO by Q65 in 1967. "Ain't That Loving You Baby" is a cover written by American blues musician Jimmy Reed, "Rambling On My Mind" is a traditional, "No Place To Go" is written by American blues musician Chester Arthur Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf and 80% O is an original written by Q65, all songs are produced by Hans van Hemert.

Q65 was formed in The Hague in 1965 and is often considered one of the more prominent bands associated with the Nederbeat sound that took place in the 60s. To promote one of their singles the band travelled to London. Unfortunately they were denied a work permit and returned (according to their bio but highly-doubted) to The Netherlands in a rubber lifeboat, taking 12 hours to cross the Channel. Upon landing at the Scheveningen Pier, Q65 was greeted by cheering fans who were rewarded with an open-air concert. Between 1966 and 1971, the band recorded four albums, split-up and rejoined (although in a different line-up) for their final and last album in 1997.

This collectable four track 7" is newly remastered for MONO playback and is available for Record Store Day in a limited run of 750 copies on yellow vinyl.

"Jukebox all'Idroscalo" is the first solo album of a versatile artist (singer, poet, screenwriter, documentary maker, composer of soundtracks) that elaborates a 60s Beat sound with a four instruments band: the inseparable Farfisa organ, guitar, bass and drums. The language goes beyond the "quotationism" of the singer-songwriters to become "deconstructive" pop lyric and musical, like an old crazy jukebox. A modern Serge Gainsbourg from Rome.

The Ringers were more than just another typical '60s L.A. garage band among the myriad in that city to be infected with Beatlemania. The fact that they have remained unknown to even some of the most ardent devotees of mid-'60s rock is an injustice that is at last being corrected all these decades down the track. The Ringers' originally released output consisted of just three 45s that were issued between the years of 1964 and 1966, and a Peru-only LP in 1970. The Vinyl LP presents the band´s most significant beat 'n' garage recordings. including four single sides from the mid-'60s and six previously unreleased recordings from the same period.

Vinyl RI of one of the coolest and most sought after 60s garage-trash songs. Originally released in 1967 on the local Zordan Label, the single got famous on Back From The Grave #7, remained the bands only trax-on-wax and fetches prices up to US $ 400 in auctions nowadays. Bill Gradisher (bass, vocals) along with Ed Golisch (lead guitar), Wayne Adams Jr. (drums) and Mike Chevell (guitar) formed the Travel Agency' in 1966. The hits of the day were their regular biz, but Bill had the ambition to write a song that was like 'Louie Louie'- but with cleaner verses. Jailbait' was written in just a few hours and together with Ed Golisch, Bill wrote the B-side, the equally exciting trashrocker Hard Times'. Upon graduation the band split in 1968 and all band-members went their own ways. But even today Jailbait' is one of the coolest and most sought after 60s garage-trash songs dealing with underage sex-lyrics.

Happiness is... goin' about a hundred-and-ten... blowing your mind, and coming, coming back down again..."Who'da thunk it! A tough-as-nails 60's garage ultra-rarity - from the Beav! This is the first ever reissue of a blistering garage cut with lead vocals by the Beaver himself! Jerry Mathers circa 1966! It's got the grit of Eddie Haskell, but it's the voice of the Beave! Gold vinyl packaged in a space age envelope style sleeve with liner notes penned by Jerry himself.

The first ever domestic reissue of one of the first ever MC5 singles! Packaged in new space age envelope style sleeves, with rare unseen band photos! The Motor City 5 pressed on black vinyl at Third Man Pressing in the Motor City!!! Includes brand spankin' new liners by David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who says, "This session, at the city's famed United Sound, was soaked in local R&B aura, John Lee Hooker cut his studio debut, 'Boogie Chillen,' there in 1948. 'I Can Only Give You Everything' was in that spirit and faster: a rolling-thunder feature of the MC5's live sets pulled from Van Morrison's 1966 album with Them, Them Again. 'I Just Don't Know' was the band's own bravado, a Bo Diddley-style gallop with a boxer's barrage of power chords."

One of the earliest MC5 singles! Packaged in new envelope style sleeves, with rare unseen band photos! The Motor City 5 pressed on black vinyl at Third Man Pressing in the Motor City! Includes brand spankin' new liners by David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who says, "In a 1966 live recording, the MC5 played 'Looking at You' like Motown raga. At United Sound, the band hit the zigzag riff at light speed and stayed there, framed by searing lead guitar and explosive drumming. 'Borderline' was a frantic jigsaw of power-chord jolts and sheet-like harmonies detonated again, at the Grande, for the live recording of the MC5's first LP, Kick Out the Jams."

The Inner Mystique, the hypnotic second album by the Chocolate Watch Band, takes up exactly where its sacred predecessor left you: looking for your perfect match at the local Love-In. When Watch Band lead singer par excellence Dave Aguilar grabs you by the lapels and tells you "I'm Not Everybody Else," you have no choice but to believe him. He's not. And when he cools down enough to extol the virtues of "Medication," who could doubt his sincerity Especially when he stokes the fires to the boiling-point where medication may not really make much difference. But the real stunner here is the Watch Band's exhilarating cover of Bobby D's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." In typical CWB interpretive bliss, nobody has ever done this hallowed song any better. Not Bob Dylan, not Van Morrison. Nobody.

A San Jose, Calif. band whose reputation has grown exponentially over the decades, the Chocolate Watch Band are now revered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World of garage rock. Spotlighting the classic lineupthe inflammatory vocals of Dave Aguilar and the roof-rattling guitars of Mark Loomis and Sean Tolby, fronting the rock-solid bass of Bill Flores and the letter-perfect drums of Gary Andrijasevichthe Watch Band's first two albums have it all. Stones swagger snake-hips its way through cosmic significance with just a dusting of eye-opening psychedelic legerdemain to make your neck snap backwards in pure joy.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock made musical history with its first single, the infectiously psychedelic "Incense and Peppermints," which topped the singles charts in December 1967. It remains one of the Aquarian Age's most enduring anthems. And as the California combo's debut LP demonstrates, there was a lot more to the Strawberry Alarm Clock than their iconic trademark hit.

Incense and Peppermints combines gorgeously melodic flights with a Sunset Strip sensibility--the album is filled with trippy soundscapes, fuzzy guitars, sophisticated harmonies and the evocative lyrics of tracks such as "The World's on Fire," "Birds in My Tree," "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" and "Paxton's Back Street Carnival." The result is a surprise-filled collection that All Music Guide calls "a strangely compelling mix of psychedelia, sunshine pop, garage rock, and California harmony."

Mastered from the original stereo UNI reels, our vinyl edition features the album's unique original cover art.

These LA scene regulars mined the final year of hippydom to produce this debut LP led by the spiralling, organ-drenched title track--a US Number 1 in 1967.RB"
