Reissues
My Latin Soul
When it comes to Latin soul, Bobby Matos And The Combo Conquistadores 'Tema De Alma Latina', has to be up there as one of the heaviest tracks ever recorded. This much-loved Latin workout has been rocking dancefloors for years with its infectious, driving energy and pulsating rhythms. Released in 1968, the 'My Latin Soul' album on Philips Records now receives a welcome reissue on Mr Bongo. It’s a sheer delight throughout and a premier example of the Nu Yorican sound that was thriving in New York …
Sweet Sister Funk
Next up in Mr Bongo's Groove Merchant Records reissue series, we present the only solo album saxophonist Ramon Morris recorded as a bandleader. Having cut his teeth playing with the iconic band Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and working with other jazz greats, including Reuben Wilson, Shirley Scott, Rashied Ali Quintet, and Woody Shaw, 1973 saw Ramon take the step into solo territory. The resulting album Sweet Sister Funk became a certified classic and a landmark showcase of the cherished ‘70s…
Expreso Ritmico
Next up in our Cuban Classics series, one of the jewels of record label Areito’s extensive and sought-after catalogue. Ricardo Eddy Martinez’s Expreso Ritmico from 1978 is a prized album fusing funk, disco, and orchestrated influences with Afro-Cuban percussion, Latin breaks, and lush vocal harmonies. Whilst maintaining its distinctive Cuban identity, Expreso Ritmico is one of the more American / Western-influenced Cuban titles of the time drawing inspiration from jazz funk, disco, and library m…
Touching Your Feelings (LP)
We are thrilled to announce the reissue of the most precious hidden gems of Soul Jazz / Spoken Word albums from a key era. Originally released in 1974 as a private pressing of fewer that 100 copies, Touching Your Feelings by Jim Marks is a crucial missing piece of the proto-rap era lying firmly between Gil Scott Heron and Amiri Baraka, with whom he made a strong friendship. Jym Marks' mix of deep, expressive poetry and solid jazz sits on the edge of works by The Last Poets and fellow west coast …
Black Tape II
Black Tape II is only the second widely available release by Ohkami No Jikan (The Time of the Wolf), one of the more esoteric groups of the 1990’s Tokyo underground. Recorded in 1992, it illuminates a largely undocumented facet of Nanjo Asahito’s psychedelic cosmology, distinct form his better known work with High Rise, Musica Transonic and Toho Sara. Aside from a handful of limited, handmade cassettes and CD-Rs on his La Musica label, there’s only been one Ohkami No Jikan album, Mort Nuit, that…
Notti Senza Fine
** 200 Copies. Includes printed inner sleeve with lyrics and credits. ** Cut it up. Stick it back together wrong. This is Magazzini Criminali at their most deliriously inventive - a Florence-based theater collective that understood William Burroughs's cut-up method as an operational principle for sound itself. Released in 1983, Notti Senza Fine is their second LP, a document where theater becomes indistinguishable from electronic collage, where the stage disappears into tape loops and reassemble…
Kinotto!
*Special discounted pricing. 2026 stock* The third album by this combo from Bologna is the apotheosis of their histrionic verve. Directed in studio by Italian progressive rock luminary, Paolo Tofani, Kinotto was released in 1979, and as Freak Antoni himself declared, the album was closer to new wave than previous efforts and its best-known track, "Mi Piaccion Le Sbarbine", was soon on heavy rotation. With Kinotto came also the artistic consecration of Skiantos, who went from being a cult band to…
Inascoltable
*Special discounted pricing. 2026 stock* In our opinion, what hinders, deceives, and puts traditional musicians off track is that they know how to play, they have a whole set of notions that always push them in the direction of composing in a traditional manner. We'd like to see what happens when you're illiterate, but with a passion for music and the desire to engage with the rock legends we'd internalized, devoured over all those years." (from "Inascoltable, the book," edited by Oderso Rubini …
Mono Tono
*Special discounted pricing. 2026 stock* Skiantos had a void in their minds, and that was all they needed to revolutionize Italian music. They imported demented rock to Italy, drawing on an all-American, nonsensical movement (from Frank Zappa to Devo), fueled by the explosion of English punk. Before Skiantos, the only demented aspects of Italian songwriting had been the perverse (and perverted) obscenities of Squallor, who, while hilarious (sometimes even from a purely compositional standpoint),…
Allegato Sonoro - Amen This Is Religgion N° 2
This 1984 release marks the beginning of the intense split-tape activity that characterized and distinguished the Amen fanzine. From Alessandria, Viridanse debut here with 4 tracks that already prefigure the sound of a band destined to leave their mark on the Italian New Wave scene. On the B side, the debut of The Art of Waiting from Bari, 6 tracks of pure Gothic Rock from one of the cult bands of this music scene.
The Missing Boys - Selection Of Sardinian Wave 1980-1989
*2026 stock* “The Missing Boys” is a film born from the need to tell the story of the emergence and affirmation of a forgotten music scene, like much of the youth movement that spread in metropolitan areas as well as in the provinces more than forty years ago, dealing with the same critical issues of everywhere. It’s a story of mostly unknown bands, who from Sardinia, especially from Cagliari and Sassari, interrupt the blissful isolation of an island, only apparently distant from that revolution…
Live In Gorizia 8/12/1978
*2026 stock* Originally attached to the new version of the book "Skiantos una storia come questa non c'era stata mai prima e non ci sarà mai più" by Gianluca Morozzi & Lorenzo "Lerry" Arabia, now available wiithout the book.
In The Kingdom of Dub
*2026 repress* Hopeton Brown, better known as Scientist, has been a pioneering figure in the world of dub for 40 years. His early love of electronics proved fruitful when (still a teenager) he was hired at King Tubby's studio in Kingston. Brown quickly ascended the ranks and became heir to Tubby's throne, producing imaginative and technically impressive mixes that solidified his forward-looking nickname. Originally released in 1981, In The Kingdom Of Dub remains one of the best early LPs in Scie…
Torino 1994
*2026 repress* Late Lunch Records proudly announces the release of Pink Floyd – Torino 1994, a stunning, limited-edition 3×LP collector’s set capturing the iconic band live at Stadio delle Alpi, Torino, Italy, on September 13, 1994. This high-definition soundboard recording immortalizes one of the most powerful concerts of the The Division Bell tour in a crystal-clear, immersive format.
Recorded directly from the front-of-house soundboard, Torino 1994 transports listeners right into the heart of…
The Boy And The Tree
The Boy and the Tree was composed after a visit to Yakushima Island, an outstandingly beautiful world heritage site off the southern tip of Japan, scored by a deep, lush and ancient ravine, home of the ancient 7000-year old ‘Jōmon Sugi’. Tree. Also the inspiration for Miyazaki's epic anime Princess Mononoke, a conflict between the rampant greed and destructive force of humanity, and the stoic, mysterious fragility of nature.
This fleeting immersion in nature lent the album a profound introspecti…
Automation Studies Volume 1
This triple disc release documents Stefan Goldmann's earliest electroacoustic works. These clear-cut algorithmic compositions, mostly created between 1999 and 2001, were built entirely with the TC Fireworx processor's internal synthesizer and effects. Generated and recorded anew for this release with the original programs, a central component of Stefan Goldmann's sound aesthetic is revisited and becomes available in pure form for the first time. His proprietary Fireworx algorithms feature pr…
Dalbergia Retusa
Extraordinary double LP of solo guitar music by Hans Reichel (1949-2011), curated by Oren Ambarchi. Twenty-three pieces from 1973-1988 documenting Reichel's radical instrumental rethinking: custom-built guitars with additional strings, moveable pickups, special capos. Sounds simultaneously strange and beautiful, from romantic lyricism to alien sonorities. Essential.
Clear Light
Singular 1967 Elektra Records gem by Clear Light, LA psychedelic band featuring future Doors bassist Doug Lubahn and CSNY drummer Dallas Taylor. Double-drum setup creates uncanny soundscape, it blends folk, rock, psych, classical. Undiscovered at release, now cult classic.
No Way Out
Essential 1967 garage-psych debut by Chocolate Watch Band, raw prototype of protopunk energy with volcanic guitar work and inflammatory vocals by Dave Aguilar channelling Jagger like nobody else. Distorted riffs, cosmic psychedelic legerdemain, killer covers of Stones material.
Follie del Divino Spirito Santo
Huge Tip! Originally issued in 1978 by Cetra, Follie Del Divino Spirito Santo emerges from a singular moment in Antonio Infantino's artistic practice - a moment when his early immersion in international Beat circles and avant-garde gestural music had crystallized into something entirely his own: a ritualistic and shamanic engagement with the musical traditions of Southern Italy.
From 1964 onward, Infantino had moved through collaborative circles with Vittorio Gelmetti, Sylvano Bussotti, Pietro G…
