Yin & Yang - Jah Wobble & Keith Levene

*New Album*
Historic reunion of the original guitarists from Public Image Limited: post-punk dub bass legend Jah Wobble and that master of angular six-string fretwork Keith Levene.

Wobble and Levene were the driving forces behind PiL’s landmark 1980 album Metal Box, which they revisited this year with several highly-acclaimed live shows.

Yin & Yang is their first collaboration since Metal Box, retaining that album’s dense, abstract layers in places while also venturing into new, uncharted territory.

Highlights include the confrontational title track, the epic ‘Jags And Staffs’ (Ian Dury meets Hawkwind?), ‘Mississippi’ (reminiscent of Cornershop or Alamaba 3?) and ‘Within You Without You’, a novel twist on a lesser-known Beatles tune.

Press: "Like its creators, Yin & Yang is a pedantic, occasionally paranoid-sounding and complex collection. But in this case that's meant as nothing less than a compliment" - Ben Myers, Classic Rock Magazine, December 2012

Blue Skies & Freerides - Best Of The Creation Years
		Forged in 1986 from the ashes of Creation Records trailblazers The Loft, The Weather Prophets straddled the divide between post-Postcard guitar jangle and a more robust strain rock and roll classicism. With this album, Blue Skies & Freerides… The Best Of 1986-89 (CDMRED 251), we present a long overdue 20 track compilation of the Weather Prophet’s years on Creation Records. With a tracklisting chosen by lead singer Pete Astor and including the Top Ten indie chart hits ”I Almost Prayed”, "Naked As The Day You Were Born”, "Hollow Heart” and "Always The Light”, "Blue Skies…” presents an excellent opportunity for some long overdue historical revisionism.

The Fugitive Kind

This is a reissue of the influential "The Fugitive Kind” by Swans Way that was released on 03/11/1984. The band were tagged as leading lights of the "new jazz" movement of the early 1980's.

The album includes various versions of all their five singles ‘Theme From The Balcony’, ‘Soul Train’, ‘The Anchor’, ‘Illuminations’ and ‘When The Wild Calls’ dating from 1982-84.

This 16 track CD features the nine of the ten tracks from the original album plus seven bonus tracks, 12" versions of ‘Theme From The Balcony’, ‘Soul Train’, ‘When The Wild Calls’, full length versions of ‘The Anchor’ and ‘Hangover’, ‘Illuminations - extended pleasure’ and their cover of the Gershwin classic ‘Summertime’ (live).

‘Soul Train’ was a UK hit single in February 1984 and was considered a classic of its day.

Five bonus tracks are appearing on CD for the 1st time (tracks 11, 13, 14, 15 & 16).

This is the most complete collection of the band's material available.

The CD booklet features sleeve notes written by vocalist Maggie De Monde, a full UK discography with many images of the original sleeves and promotional material.

Swans Way were formed in Birmingham in 1982 with Maggie De Monde (vocals, percussion), Rick P. Jones (double bass)and vocalist Robert Shaw. The band were seen as part of the "new jazz" scene with the likes of Sade, Carmel and Blue Rondo a La Turk. They released a single on indie label Exit International and then signed to Phonogram. Swans Way's 2nd single ‘Soul Train’ was a top 20 hit with three further singles following on. The album 'The Fugitive Kind' was released and charted but it was more a critical rather than a commercial success with the band's experimental approach and sound being their lasting legacy to the sound of their day.

The House Of Love 3CD Deluxe Edition

THE HOUSE OF LOVE were one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands to grace Creation Records back in the late 1980s.

Their eponymous debut album was cited as one of the best albums of 1988 by music magazines and Indie fans alike. It has been out-of-print on CD for some time now.

This deluxe edition of THE HOUSE OF LOVE offers the band’s complete Creation recordings from 1987-1988, together with a raft of previously unissued bonus material.

The package boasts all their Creation Records singles, from the original version of ‘Shine On’, ‘Real Animal’ and the US favourite ‘Christine’ (which reached #8 in the Modern Rock chart there) to their final single for the label, ‘Destroy The Heart’.

Disc 3 is devoted to nineteen hitherto unheard HOUSE OF LOVE demos, including two exclusive Guy Chadwick songs ‘Hold On Me’ and ‘Modern World’, which were never released!

Also making their debut on CD is the rare 7” album freebie (two demos) and the ‘Flexidisc’ version of ‘Shine On’, together with Guy’s original demo of this song which eventually gave them a sizeable hit.

This 3-CD package is housed in a stylish Digipak with fresh sleeve-notes and rare images from the band’s photographer Suzie Gibbons.

Press: "Here was a band who knew just how good they were... If you don't already own The House Of Love, buy it." - Michael Hann, The Guardian, 24/11/2012

"Two super serving discs of extras include single tracks...plus fan-pleasing alternate takes and intriguing demos..." - MOJO, December 2012

"Considered by many to be the fledgling band's finest work, it has been hansomely expanded into a three-CD deluxe edition..." - Alan Jones, Music Week, November 2012

"...still sound like a band engaging into top gear and riding the crest of a wave." - Andy Peart, Vive Le Rock, Jan/Feb 2013
