The Bottle Rockets, The Brooklyn Side (30th Anniversary Edition) (2-LP Flame Orange Vinyl, Limited to 1,500 copies)

The Bottle Rockets' 1994 record The Brooklyn Side ranks right up there with Uncle Tupelo's Anodyne in the pantheon of alt-country albums...yet it has NEVER come out on vinyl. We've hooked up with original producer Eric "Roscoe" Ambel and mastering engineer Scott Hull to score the original tapes and create an all-analog release of this legendary record...but we didn't stop there. We've also added six bonus tracks to flesh out this 2-LP Expanded Edition, winding up with the track that started it all, Brian Henneman's "Indianapolis." Reissued with the full consent and cooperation of the band.

Bob Frank, Broke Again - The Unreleased Recordings (Marijuana Green Vinyl, Limited to 1,100 copies)

Originally released in 1972 on Vanguard Records, Bob Frank's self-titled debut album took elements of Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Ian Tyson and filtered it thru a pot-smoked haze and the infusion of Frank's long-time friend, Memphis guru Jim Dickinson. Dickinson and Frank shared a mutual admiration that ran so deep that on Dickinson's own 1972 debut album Dixie Fried (released on Atlantic Records), he recorded one of Bob Frank's songs "Wild Bill Jones."

But despite the Dickinson/Memphis connection, Bob Frank's only LP for Vanguard became a forgotten, hard to find relic - until Light in the Attic reissued it to great acclaim in 2014. Now, from Real Gone comes more 1972 Vanguard Bob Frank recordings (all previously unreleased studio songs) coupled with a live set from the Old Quarter in Houston 1973 (the first-ever vintage live Bob Frank recordings to be released). Includes an insert with extensive liner notes detailing Frank's career self-sabotage by Pat Thomas and the director of the documentary Within A Few Degrees: A Little Gest of Bob Frank, Isaac Pingree. 20 tracks, all unreleased.  Available in the U.K. on Wine Red Vinyl.

John Hartford, Morning Bugle (2-LP Forest Green Vinyl, Limited to 1,500 copies)

The two albums multi-instrumentalist/songwriter John Hartford cut for Warner Bros. in the early '70s, Aereo-Plain and Morning Bugle, shook the bluegrass genre to the core, adding a modern, irreverent sensibility and fresh repertoire to the tradition-bound style. We have already (twice) reissued Aereo-Plain on LP, but we waited on Morning Bugle because we had something special up our sleeve--namely, the original session tapes!

Which means that not only are you getting (with the full consent of the Hartford estate) a new remix and remaster of the original album--which even Hartford devotees admit never sounded that good on the production side of things--but an entire disc of unreleased tracks! Hartford scholar Skip Heller supplies liner notes to this monumental find on the enclosed insert.

The Mighty Lemon Drops, Ricochet (Tan Vinyl, Limited to 1,100 copies)

Finally! A vinyl release for the last (1992) studio album from Wolverhampton's finest, The Mighty Lemon Drops. These guys were masters of texture, justifiably compared to Echo and the Bunnymen, but this record flexes some power pop muscle on "She's So) Out of Touch" and some acid pop a la The Stone Roses on "Falling Deep," which features Susie Hug of the Katydids.

Joe Pesci, Little Joe Sure Can Sing! (Clear with Orange Swirl Vinyl, Limited to 2,000 hand-numbered copies)

Yes, Little Joe sure CAN sing...but should he? You might be surprised at the answer when you learn that "Little Joe" is actually Joe Pesci (singing under the name Joe Ritchie)! Pesci cut this astonishingly rare album for Brunswick Records in 1968, and, despite his later fame, it's never been reissued in any format.

Little Joe Sure Can Sing finds the future superstar actor (who was, by the way, at one time a member of Joey Dee and the Starliters) interpreting a variety of fare, highlighted by three Beatles covers ("Got to Get You into My Life," "Fixing a Hole," and "The Fool on the Hill"). So how does Little Joe sound? Well, the liner notes on the back cover credit Little Jimmy Scott and Billie Holiday as influences, and, you know what, we really DO hear echoes of their inimitable phrasing and tone, ably backed by arrangements from Artie Schroeck.  Available in the U.K., too.

The Roches, The Roches (45th Anniversary Edition) (Ruby Red Vinyl, Limited to 1,500 copies)

It's hard to remember an album that made a bigger critical splash than The Roches. John Rockwell of The New York Times labeled it "the best pop record of 1979," Jay Cocks in Time called their music "startling, lacerating, and amusing," Trouser Press gave it 10/10, Rolling Stone Record Guide gave it 5 stars, and so on. But all of the plaudits don't really do the album justice...because this record has more personality pressed into every groove than any other ten you could name.

It's not ostensibly a feminist record; the unabashed joy of creation coming from these three sisters transcends all questions of gender and ideology. But it is one of the boldest and most personal albums ever made. And it's got Robert Fripp on guitar and Tony Levin on bass!  Available in the U.K., as well.

Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik (Cobalt Blue Vinyl, Limited to 1,500 copies)

Seriously? Duncan Sheik's 1996 debut record has never been on vinyl? The one that went gold and had "Barely Breathing" on it? That song stayed on the charts for over a year! Anyway, here it comes, remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision Mastering and pressed on cobalt blue wax with an inner sleeve featuring lyrics. 1,500 copies.

Tad, Infrared Riding Hood (Aqua Blue Vinyl, Limited to 1,100 copies)

Tad was a band that couldn't buy a break. First sued for album cover art by Pepsi among others, dropped by a major label (Giant) for showing Bill Clinton with a joint in his hand...and then right when Infrared Riding Hood came out, their A&R rep at EastWest got canned along with all of her bands. Which explains why this 1995 record has never seen a U.S. LP release...till now! It's a sludge and grunge fest (grudge fest?), right up the alley for fans of The Melvins and those whose tastes lean more leather than flannel.
