Lost Treasures From The Vaults, 1959-69, Volume Three.

A spectacular patchwork of thirty-eight choice cuts of Japanese noir and porno soundtracks.

Stalag… and The Carpenters’ Top Of The World.

Signature Shackleton — paranoia flaring into dancefloor fire, gripping and rolling. With a chilled and crackling King Midas Sound, Hitomi forlorn. And finally The Bug himself, digital only, getting in your face.

A double-header of booting, irresistible JA rhythm and blues.

The fledgling Wailing Souls, rocking steady but broken-hearted in 1966; backed with the perfect ska antidote, a previously-unreleased Hopeton Lewis pick-me-up.

Rock Fort Rock and China Town excursions.

Three deep funk instrumentals — HBE on the opener. Sound-wise, doubly lethal, as alive as vinyl gets. Silvered, silk-screened sleeve.

‘The Voice of the People’.

‘The Voice of the People’.

The second of two records issuing from 1962 sessions with Big Joe Williams, Memphis Slim, Roosevelt Sykes, and Lonnie Johnson (and Bob Dylan on harmonica). Originally released on VS’s own Spivey imprint.
