Rock and Soul Music: Real Gone Announces Reissues of Country Joe, Mamas and Papas, Klaus Nomi, Tony Joe White Titles

November 1, 2019 by Sam Stone | 4 Comments

On December 6, Real Gone Music will release a quartet of reissues from a diverse lineup of country-rock, jam band, pop, and avant-garde luminaries. First up is a limited-edition, 2-LP issue of Country Joe and the Fish’s Live! Fillmore West 1969 which not only featured the legendary Berkeley band (with replacement bassist Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane), but also their famous friends.

Review: Klaus Nomi, “Klaus Nomi” (Real Gone Vinyl Reissue)

It’s one that is full of strangeness, starkness, and subtlety. Klaus Nomi stuns with a diverse repertoire, an over-the-top theatricality, but, more importantly, a dedication to craft that sometimes gets lost in the narrative. Yes, the NYC performance artist collaborated with David Bowie (as seen on SNL circa 1979); he wore outrageous costumes and vaudevillian makeup; and his vocal…

Metamorphosis Exploration: Real Gone To Reissue Cult Classics From The Deviants and Klaus Nomi

May 10, 2019 by Sam Stone | 1 Comment

Real Gone Music has made waves with their recent LP releases that bring long out-of-print titles back into print. For their next pair of welcome reissues – due June 14 – the label presents color vinyl editions of two classic examples of counterculture music: The Deviants’ #3 from 1969 and Klaus Nomi’s self-titled album from 1981. Klaus Nomi made a name for himself in the late ’70s as part of the performance art scene in New York’s East Village. His larger-than-life persona and out-of-this-world imagery was matched only by his impressive vocal…
