Ramones
Rocket To Russia (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
The 40th anniversary reissue of one of the adored third album from Ramones, a boxset containing 3CDs and an LP with hardbound LP sized book. Features some of their classic tracks like Rockaway Beach, Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and their covers of Do You Wanna Dance? and Surfin Bird. The album was also the last to be recorded by all four founding members.
The first disc of the Deluxe Edition features a remastered version of the original stereo mix for Rocket To Russia, plus the 2017 40th Anniversary Tracking Mix created by Stasium, which provides a back-to- basics version of the album, and a different track listing from the 1977 original. The 2017 40th Anniversary Tracking Mix is also featured on the LP that accompanies the Deluxe Edition.
Two dozen rare and unreleased recordings are found on the second disc, including rough mixes from sessions at Mediasound and The Power Station. There’s also an early version of “Needles And Pins” with Tommy on drums, the B-side single mix of “Babysitter,” an alternate version of “It’s A Long Way Back To Germany” with Dee Dee on vocals, an original radio promo with Joey Ramone, and more.
A highlight of this Deluxe Edition is the complete unreleased concert included on the third disc. This never- before-heard multi-track recording of the band’s December 19, 1977 show at the Apollo Centre in Glasgow, Scotland captures the Ramones just a few days before the group recorded the classic live album It’s Alive, and mixed for this 40th Anniversary edition by Ed Stasium. In Glasgow, they played songs from all three studio albums including “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Judy Is A Punk,” “Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment,” and “California Sun.”

Caspian
Live At Old South Church
Hold tight for details on the LP colour.
A vinyl reissue of the live record from the excellent instrumental-rock titans Caspian., available on vinyl for the first time in over 5 years.
On October 22, 2010, Caspian put on their own benefit concert in Boston, MA with proceeds of the performance going to Amirah, a non-profit organization focusing on whole-person care for survivors of human sexual trafficking. “Live at Old South Church” is a document of that night’s performance, recorded during the band’s touring cycle on the “Tertia” album. It is a mix of songs from “You are the Conductor” (“Last Rites”), “The Four Trees” (“The Dove,” “ASA,”), and “Tertia” (“Concrescence,” “Sycamore”).
As one might imagine, a hometown show in front of a hometown crowd benefitting survivors of such harrowing and traumatic circumstance lends to a performance that fires across all emotional cylinders. “Live at Old South Church” captures Caspian amidst such catharsis and healing, fully encapsulating the confident triumph and jubilant exhilarations found within songs such as “Last Rites” and “ASA” and the delicate, introspective beauty present in the melodies that shape “Sycamore” and “The Dove.” If transcendence is the goal of any given live performance, then mission accomplished.

Caspian
The Four Trees
Hold tight for details on the LP colour.
Vinyl reissue of the excellent full length album from the instrumental-rock titans Caspian. Originally released in 2007. Huge songs with giant crescendos, deep textures and dream-like soundscapes. Fans of This Will Destroy You, Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai, Pianos Become The Teeth and Foxing should check this out.
Following in their own tradition of a staggering 1-2-3 punch, “The Four Trees” erupts with “Moksha,” “Some are White Light,” and “Sea Lawn,” all three being live staples to this day and “Moksha” routinely cracking the top 5 out of all of the band’s output across their entire discography at Spotify. What follows is eight more songs (including audience favorites “ASA,” The Dove,” and “Our Breath in Winter”) meticulously arranged and placed perfectly within the program to create a true, dynamic journey across the sonisphere. If there’s one thing Caspian accomplishes every time out, it’s to paint pictures or a visual narrative in the mind’s eye as each album unfolds. The dynamics purposefully serve the whole. The refrains create actual shifts in narrative tone. The climaxes and bombast are all toward logical conclusions within a larger story.
“The Four Trees” established the long-standing tradition of entirely great albums from start to finish for Caspian and still stands as a beacon for music fans that want bands’ records to actually “go somewhere.”
