Sandy Denny
Gold Dust - Live At The Royalty (RSD22)

Sous le soleil de Montpellier, les 4 Mudweiser, dont 2 ex-Eyeless et Reuno de Lofofora, ne se sont posé aucune question avant de prendre leurs instruments, l'ambition était claire, jouer fort du rock n'roll gras, sale et décadent qui sent le sud, la bière et le whiskey.Leur son boueux va directement des oreilles aux tripes sans passer par le cerveau pour vous traîner dans leur monde où les losers sont rois. Avec un premier album « Holy Shit » en 2009 et un 4 titres en vinyl-33t « Drug Queens » en 2011 , Mudweiser s'est imposé comme une des valeurs sûres du stoner rock "made in France". Aujourd'hui Mudweiser sort son nouvel album Angel Lust toujours chez Head Records.

The first compilation from South African vinyl re-issue specialists Matsuli Music – a journey through jazz, funk, fusion and disco, detailing the incredible story and sounds behind the Soweto nightclub during the height of apartheidA night-time haunt in the backstreets of Soweto run by a well-known bootlegger should have been a prime zone for nefarious underworld activities. Instead, it nurtured an underground of a different kind. Soon after its opening in 1973, Club Pelican became a spot where musicians steeped in the tradition of South African jazz began to cook up experimental sounds inspired by communion, competition and the movements in funk and soul blowing in from the West. Located in an industrial park on the western edge of Orlando East, Soweto, Club Pelican was off the beaten track, among a matrix of railway and industrial infrastructure. In a different time and place, this would have been a prototypical nightclub location, except there was no local precedent to follow. This was Soweto’s first night club.In the intervening years, this location has served to heighten the now-defunct spot’s legendary status as a singular venue, one that ruled the night in the Seventies. Initially called Lucky’s and established in 1973, the Pelican’s impact on the Soweto cultural landscape was immediate. Lorded over by a charismatic figure known as Lucky Michaels, the club became the jewel in a nondescript collection of family businesses. It boasted a diverse pool of talent in its succession of house bands and an A-list of ghetto-fabulous singers asits cabaret stars. Its VIP section was a veritable who’s who of Soweto society and its stage, hosting a mix of the day’s pop culture infused with the creativity and individual histories of the musicians, the Pelican filled a live music vacuum.One Night in Pelican captures the halcyon seventies period with a single nightclub embodying an indomitable spirit of its troubadour players. While schooled and rooted in “standards” and local forms, the music could take any direction, at a moment’s notice. This compilation features all the key groups and players of the time: Abacothozi, Almon Memela’s Soweto, The Black Pages, Dick Khoza and the Afro Pedlars, The Drive, Ensemble of Rhythm and Art , The Headquarters, Makhona Zonke Band, the Shyannes and Spirits Rejoice.’

LP first time release (OG 2010) for RSD 2021 !

First ever repress of their breakthrough album, in the 21st anniversary year - remastered!Absolutely Freak Out! is the set that first got AMT noticed (relatively) big-time in the UK, and for good reason. There's not a lot of point trying to describe it; just imagine every moment in rock history when psychedelia got out of control, and edit them all together. Or imagine Hawkwind with Hendrix on guitar, playing Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa covers in a large aircraft hangar, with the doors open and a strong wind blowing.Other Acid Mothers Temple recordings offer more folk or more metal or more drone, but this is the band in full-spectrum-retro-cosmic-rock mode and just offers … more. Of everything you could possibly imagine. If you have yet to commence your journey then this is the one to start with.
