Do the Dance Now: Cherry Red, Esoteric Reissue Cult Favorites from Colin Scot, "English" Gypsy
Today, we're looking at two recent sets from the vaults of United Artists Records courtesy of Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint. Singer-songwriter Colin Scot (1941-1999) only recorded three albums in his too-short lifetime. While none of them dented the charts, all three revealed a talented singer-songwriter in the folk-rock vein. Esoteric has reissued Scot's first LP, from 1971, in an expanded edition that's actually a repress of the 2006 release on the Eclectic Discs label. In

Sweets for My Sweet: Cherry Red, SoulMusic Collect The Sweet Inspirations' Atlantic Recordings on "Let It Be Me"
In its 1960s heyday, Atlantic Records was the destination for deeply-felt soul. Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Solomon Burke, and Wilson Pickett were just a handful of the artists there who defined the sound of soul music. Lesser-known but no less significant were The Sweet Inspirations. Today, the vocal quartet might be best-remembered as Elvis Presley's preferred onstage backup group, but The King was just one of a staggering number of artists they supported - including the

Waiting for the Man: Soundtrack for Todd Haynes' Velvet Underground Film Due in October
Director Todd Haynes has long emphasized music in his filmography. One of his first works to garner significant attention was 1987's controversial and unauthorized Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story; four years later, his evocation of the glam rock era in Velvet Goldmine made more commercial waves. More recently, he's been attached to direct Michelle Williams in the forthcoming Peggy Lee biopic Fever. But before Haynes tackles Peggy, he's returning to a different Velvet: The Velvet

Grapefruit Records Spotlight: Complete Collections Arrive from The Sorrows, Fire, and Tintern Abbey
Today, we're spotlighting three recent "Complete" collections from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint. "We played punk before punk was invented!"
