Ace / Kent Single Of The Month

THE ACE SINGLE OF THE MONTH CLUB — a new wrinkle from an old favourite

The Ace/Kent website has a new look.

You may not have noticed unless you’re a frequent visitor (www.acerecords.com — go and have a look now) but we’ve just given our cyberspace a massive makeover. It’s still a work in progress but in the coming months and years we aim to keep adding all sorts of good stuff to it, ranging from specially written articles and expanded versions of sleeve notes (featuring all the bits that the limited space in a CD booklet won’t let us fit in) to exclusive online merchandise, which won’t be available through any other source.

We’ve already got things rolling with the inauguration of the ‘Ace Single Of the Month Club’, a series of vinyl 7’s that will be pressed in highly limited quantities and that will only be available directly from our site. These fine looking and fine sounding forty fives are manufactured to look like The Real Thing — that’s to say, we’re using the original label designs that these singles would have had, if they had originally been released as singles…

…and there’s the deal clincher, folks — all of the singles in this series will contain material that was either 100% unreleased originally, or not originally released in the version featured on the SOTM release!

So far we’ve issued two corkers:

GEORGE JACKSON — Victim Of A Foolish Heart (NW 501)

THE SEEDS — Pushin’ Too Hard (Longer, Unedited version) (NW 502)

These are about to be joined by our latest hot biscuit:

DAN PENN — Keep On Talking (the original version - same backing track as James Barnett!)/Up Tight Good Woman (NW 503)

…all of which should be of interest to most members of this forum.

Once they are sold out there will be no re-presses, and none of the singles will be reissued as “regular” Ace, Kent or Big Beat 45s at a future date. When they’re gone, they’re gone, as they say — so call or e-mail us at Ace to get your copies today!)
