Ace Records Releases July 2023

Release list for July 2023 from Ace Records

Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night
Eclectic
Various Artists (Saint Etienne)
CD £11.70

In 1975, writer Nik Cohn investigated the burgeoning discotheque scene in Brooklyn and Queens for New York magazine; two years later, his feature would be filmed as Saturday Night Fever. These are the records Cohn heard in those dark dance dens - irresistible R&B and soul, disco before it was disco.

The Blue Flames
Vocal Jazz
Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames
7" £10.00

The original sound of Georgie Fame's Blue Flames, on a single EP for the very first time. 

The Best Of The Damned
Punk Rock
The Damned
LP £22.14

The original hits package containing the first 2 Stiffs, the Captain’s mega-rare first solo single and all the best from Chiswick.The Best Of
70s Rock
Motorhead
12" £12.00

This all-time classic of heavy metal was originally released by Chiswick back in June 1977. Although the 7” version in a picture sleeve was later reissued on Big Beat the original Chiswick 12” has not been reissued – until now.

David Vanian And The Phantom Chords
Punk Rock
The Phantom Chords
LP £26.00

When the Damned (first) split up in 1989, lead singer David Vanian formed the Phantom Chords. A full album was released in 1995 but with vinyl sales in terminal decline the album was a CD-only release. Now, nearly three decades later, the album is finally issued on vinyl as a 2-LP set.
 

Full Circle
Vocal Jazz
Leon Thomas
LP £22.14

The final studio album from Thomas’ classic period – a glorious combination of soul, funk and jazz.
 

Look At The Lights Go Up / Hold On To Your Mind
Eclectic
Various Artists (Measured Mile)
7" £10.00

The latest 45 on Bob Stanley's Measured Mile label is another double-sided gem, this time picking up on a pair of terrific turn-of-the-70s acts whose original 7" singles are now both hard to find and horribly expensive.
