It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream – music that wasn’t getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores…
…includes six previously unreleased songs from ‘The Well of Memory’ sessions and a handful of live versions of songs from the album.
Chicago IX, originally released in time for the Christmas shopping season in 1975, was the band’s first greatest hits album. Originally released on the Columbia label in both stereo and quadraphonic formats, the collection brought together 11 songs spanning 1969’s Chicago Transit Authority through 1974’s Chicago VII. Rhino revisit Chicago IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits in a gold-hued edition to mark its 50th anniversary. It’s been expanded from 11 to 21 songs, and its purview has been expanded, too: it now goes all the way through 1980’s Chicago XIV, and even stretches back to fill in some missed tracks from the period covered by the original compilation.
This is the end — the final recording from arguably the greatest of genre-busting bands. A celebration, not only of 
The album was originally recorded in 1979 with sessions taking place for an intended follow up album by Bill’s recently formed group Red Noise. However, EMI Records, Bill’s then record label, declined to release the recordings and the material remained unreleased. Four recordings appeared as the ‘Do You Dream in Colour’ EP on his Cocteau label in 1980. The following year Bill licensed the original stereo mixes of the album to Mercury Records who issued the album in the Spring of 1981. A ground-breaking record, Quit Dreaming and Get On the Beam reached a peak of number seven on the UK charts and is to date Bill’s most commercially successful album.
You Got Me Hooked! is the latest instalment in Ace Records’ ongoing survey of British girl singers of the 1960s. Recent volumes in the series focused on the catalogues of Decca (Don’t Blow Your Cool!), Pye (She Wants You!) and Philips/ Fontana/ Mercury (Live It Up!). This new edition comprises a cherry-picked collection of cool she-pop from the EMI family of labels: Parlophone, Columbia and HMV. Most of the tracks were recorded at Abbey Road, a short tube ride from EMI HQ in Marylebone, hence the “Marylebone Beat Girls” subtitle.
Music collectors have the chance to rediscover a lost gem from the golden age of psychedelic rock. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, this Half-Speed Mastered Edition offers the ultimate listening experience of the Texan band’s legendary 1967 debut—and only—album.
This is FB’s second album after Old Codes, New Chaos and for me, it is one of the most beautifully crafted albums I have ever experienced. From the very start the sounds cocoon you in their warmth and take you on a journey. Jazzy cords reverberate and repeat creating a slow trance-like effect as soothing “dubby” basslines perfectly complemented by ingenius percussion drive the tunes along. The late great Bill Hicks’s tirade against the advertising world is used to great effect in the middle of the album just before Fila Brazilia kick in with a folk-trance barnstormer. Starsky and Hutch era pure funk pumps up in later tunes, bubbling beneath the surface of exotica. Don’t expect anything fast, hard or intricate-just look forward to the fact that their brilliance lies in an uncomplicated…
