The Everly Brothers
Songs Our Daddy Taught Us
The blending of Don and Phil Everly’s voices is truly one of the great sounds of post-war American popular music. Recorded for the Cadence label in Nashville in 1958, their second album “Songs Our Daddy Taught Us” could be termed an early concept album. The twelve songs (none of which were hits) were Old School country – as the title says, songs known to Don and Phil’s father – which celebrated the timeless quality of the music in an era when such celebrations might have been regarded as a retrograde step. It also anticipates the US Folk Revival that was soon to come.
Don Everly explained why they chose to record the album: "I knew we would be leaving Cadence, and I wanted the last album to be something musically that I loved, but I didn't want them to have any possible singles which they would have kept releasing (to) interfere with our career. I suggested ‘Songs Our Daddy Taught Us’, and everyone went for it. It touched what folk music ought to be – country folk music, songs people would sing sitting on the porch. It's got class and it ages really well." In 2013, Green Day front man Billy Joe Armstrong teamed up with Norah Jones to re- record ‘Songs Our Daddy Taught Us’, released under the title Foreverly, highlighting the generation- spanning appeal of these songs.
Issued in a faithful reproduction of the original LP sleeve, the inner sleeve features annotation by Alan Robinson. The record is pressed on 180 gram red vinyl.

Marc Bolan / T.Rex
Shadowhead
Marc Bolan’s passions included the blues, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, hard rock and disco-soul, and his intent to explore these genres are all visited on this collection of classic album tracks and singles. His influences – Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton/Cream and Bob Dylan are all apparent amongst the material on Shadowhead, but the music here is unique. Bolan’s creative fire produced a phenomenal catalogue of work: the material on this album was recorded over five years (1972 – 1976), in seven studios, in five countries. This record provides insights into Bolan’s creative process whilst keeping the essence of the music in its classic form. Shadowhead showcases the development of tracks such as Precious Star and Groove A Little, and a track that made its public debut on the CD release, Blues Jam (Dreamy Lady Session). Other tracks reveal many of the instruments and sounds from the master tapes to enable the working processes to be more clearly understood.
