Back in print! Incredible collection of rare King Tubby VS. Scientist tracks. These were some of the last ‘classical’ dub works created before dancehall ultimately mutated into a technologically-driven sound that largely did away with organic instruments and although these works already point in that direction, they still sound entirely fresh today because of the superb musicianship of the Roots Radics and the guiding hand of Jah Thomas in the producer’s chair, as well as Scientist and his cohor…

A true enigma in French exploitation cinema and a key exponent in Jean Rollin’s expansive family of forward thinking French creatives, Pierre Raph delivered four soundtrack commissions to the ABC film company between 1971 and 1974 commencing with Requiem Pour Un Vampire and ending with the bizarre Les Démoniaques. The lost score for the film Le Rose De Fer from 1972 presented a new challenge for both director and composer marking Rollin’s departure from his vampire movie comfort zone to this sur…

Long sought-after by collectors, this record is nearly impossible to find in …

*Please note that the book part of this edition is available in Italian language only.* "I first listened to Crass in the late summer of 1979: a friend, just back from a trip to London, had brought me a newly released record, "Stations of the Crass", as a present. I had already read about them somewhere, perhaps because of a censorship issue they were involved in, but I had never really heard of them. That was their second album, and it ended up substituting for a long time, to the indignation o…

*Bilingual English-Italian* "Put your music group together. Paint your own picture. Write your own book, your own poem." These are original English texts and Italian translations by American Mike Watt, born in 1957. You should already know the author, or at least I hope you do: he is one of those who were there in California to light the fuse under the ass of rock in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. He played bass with the Minutemen, and it was partly because of him and his band that the punk…

*Please note that this book is available in Italian language only.* "The authors are one of the founders of Franti, the other since the early 1980s a fanzinista and then a reporter for A/Rivista Anarchica from the trenches of punk and self-production.

Each of us, in his or her own way, dreamed of a revolution in the 1970s and 1980s: sure, we were young and these were things that were nice to do and needed to be done. Almost thirty years ago we col…

By far one of the most outrageous performers of the early years of rock, prone to emerging from coffins on stage, with a flaming skull named Henry as his constant companion, Screamin' Jay was an insanely theatrical figure long before it was even remotely acceptable. His 1958 debut, At Home, featuring his legendary "I Put A Spell On You," along with surreal hits like "Hong Kong," "Take Me Back To The Boot And Saddle," or his wild-ass reinventions of old standards like "I Love Paris" and "Deep Pur…

People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism.

Definitely one of Bry…
