Alan Vega
Jukebox Babe b/w Speedway [RSD22]

Click notify me above to be kept up to date. The visual artist, musician, and poet Alan Vega was born in Brooklyn in 1938. He co-founded the massively influential avant-garde band Suicide with Martin Rev in 1970, with whom he performed off and on throughout his life. Suicide’s debut album was included among Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and it was a formative work in the invention of synth-punk, post-punk, art rock, industrial music, and more. Vega would go on to have a prolific career as a solo artist. His hit song “Jukebox Babe” led to a contract with Elektra Records, who released two albums including the cult classic Saturn Strip, produced by Ric Ocasek. He began working with Liz Lamere, whom he later married and became the most crucial collaborator of his solo career. Lamere, along with fellow Vega collaborator Jared Artaud (The Vacant Lots) teamed up with creative director Michael Handis and Brooklyn label Sacred Bones to start opening up the Vega Vault of unreleased material and also to start bringing iconic releases such as Jukebox Babe back into print. Jukebox Babe b/w Speedway (First Mix) is the first re-issue of Vega’s greatest hit since it’s initial pressing in 1981. Lamere recalls “‘Jukebox Babe’ was one of Alan’s most beloved songs. He had been thinking about experimenting with developing a blues-infused rockabilly sound outside of Suicide. The song went on to become a hit in France and sparked the flame that eventually resulted in launching Vega’s solo career.” This new 7” is backed with the very first version Vega recorded of his fan favorite track “Speedway” off his Self Titled album. This version has never been released and is another crucial discovery from the vault. Artaud remarks “Liz & I discov_x0002_ered this version of ‘Speedway’ while doing some digging in the Vega Vault. We thought it would be a killer combo to have it juxtaposed with ‘Jukebox.’ Gasoline and cocaine

Lou Reed / Kris Kristofferson
The Bottom Line Archive Series: In Their Own Words: With Vin Scelsa [RSD22]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2022. Available from Saturday 23rd April over the counter, with online sales beginning at 8:00pm on Friday 29th April. Click notify me above to be kept up to date.
Limited quantity 3LP set of Lou Reed and Kris Kristofferson's set from 1994 at the famed Bottom Line in NYC.
We bring you another historic, once-in-a-lifetime meeting taking place during the winter of ’94 on that venerable Bottom Line stage. Culled from an evening that also included Suzanne Vega and Victoria Williams, there was perhaps no other pairing more perfectly suited to the In Their Own Words platform than this singular meeting of Lou Reed and Kris Kristofferson. As much a course in music history and songwriting as a performance, and years before VH1’s Storytellers series, Allan Pepper and Vin Sclesa’s ITOW series afforded the audience a window into the minds of their favorite songsmiths, in a run that lasted from May of 1990 until March of 2003.
The two songsmiths in question were born and raised in two very different worlds - Lou Reed in the jungles of New York City and Kris Kristofferson in the heart of the Southland. Still, both men demanded total artistic freedom and created raw, brutally honest art that addressed strikingly similar issues of struggles – with loneliness and alienation, addiction and recovery, love and loss, good and evil, vulnerability and hopelessness - painfully aware of contradictions and critical of hypocrisy, painting pictures of characters known or imagined, yet always finding the humanity in our faults and weaknesses during our darkest hours. Through the lens of their music, Lou and Kris view the human condition with a sense of humility and no small amount of humor, which was always close at hand.

Trees Of The Ages: Laura Nyro Live In Japan [RSD22]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2022. Available from Saturday 23rd April over the counter, with online sales beginning at 8:00pm on Friday 29th April. Click notify me above to be kept up to date. "A member of both the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame, Laura Nyro not only wrote songs that became hits for acts including The 5th Dimension, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, Barbra Streisand, and many more, but has been cited as a major influence by Kate Bush, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Todd Rundgren, Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz ('Godspell, Wicked'), and countless others. She recorded 10 studio albums (one released posthumously), but a live performance from Nyro was always an event. Originally issued only in Japan as 'Live In Japan' in 2003, these 16 tracks recorded at Kintetsu Hall, plus 5 recorded at On Air West return as 'Trees Of The Ages: Laura Nyro Live In Japan'. From Nyro-penned hits including “And When I Die,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” and “Save The Country,” to covers of Bacharach/David, Smokey Robinson, and Phil Spector classics, 'Trees Of The Ages'is an essential document of Laura’s February 1994 historic visit to Japan. With Laura on piano and vocals, with harmonies by Diane Wilson, Dian Sorrell, Diane Garisto, the performances are sublime. Newly remastered by Grammy®-winner Michael Graves, and produced for release by Grammy®-winner Cheryl Pawelski and George Gilbert with the approval of The Laura Nyro Trust, the packaging contains updated artwork and new liner notes from author and musician John Kruth. Looking and sounding incredible, this essential addition to Nyro’s discography is available worldwide for the first time. 'Trees Of The Ages: Laura Nyro Live In Japan' cements the legend of the incomparable Laura Nyro."
