a new topic for new releases 2019

 

Nothing political here, then

the Brainstory 45 got a release today, limited run of first press with a second press already planned, b side is good too

Good shout Mike..so many releases this year so far and long may it continue.

Funk Night Records continue to churn out some decent new/old sounding 45s too:

we've been listening to the LP a lot, the first 45 off the album released yesterday

funky one

Mine arrived this morning, very chuffed as I had forgotten I had preordered it months ago

Available to buy in Europe? Shipping from the States is waaaay to expensive.

Dusty Groove records (US) have economy shipping as an option I think, not expensive at all, but I don't know if they are stocking it, maybe contact them?

Thanks, I'll check them out. A European source would, of course, be more cost effective.

Fabulous voice. I wondered why she had been quite, she gave birth last year! These two tracks recorded prior to the event.  Hope there is another Lp forthcoming as the last was great. 

This one has just been re-issued

Yep just gone for this too. Top drawer artist.

Make that three

my copy of The Pendletons new release arrived today

Is it the same Howard Johnson of Keepin' Love New/So Fine fame?

The new Kelly Finnigan LP through the post today from Colemine. Stunning!

Also looking forward to the imminent Black Pumas LP on ATO Records / Colemine, now available for pre- order today.

I Junoed it earlier today 

Life To Me is so nice

interesting release just out on Outta Sight records, first time on 45 and never heard of the Valerie Simpson demo before

"...our OVO… “Are You Trying To Get Rid Of Me Baby”. This storming unreleased dancer first came to our attention courtesy of Kent Records and their 1986 Magic Touch album. The song was originally known by the Crystals on U.A. which has grown in popularity and value in recent times.

VALERIE SIMPSON is better known as one half of music bis. royalty Ashford & Simpson who need little introduction. She co-wrote our topside and “Mr Creator” which she demos here to great effect."

Japan release for RSD, very nice high revs & uptempo modern soul number, not cheap for a new release but well worth it imo, sound clips and record for sale on Juno

On 11/04/2019 at 17:06, seano said:

Arrived today. Both sides sound great. Sam's voiceover towards the end of 'What's it gonna be' comes in rather loudly and then the whole track fades out to end, but it doesn't detract from a superb tune (well, two of course) from a masterful lyricist and singer.

Just out Mr Croasdell does it again, sublime.

as Mike has announced on News, the new O'Jays LP for me today, amazing how they still make something so good

would love to see the Start Stoppin' track on a 45

Hope so , fingers x’d 

Came across this on you tube- Nice !! 

Actually not a new release- just reissued - oops !! 

Lovely voice, in some bits it reminds me Sandra Wright,

it went straight in my 'to buy' list

Yes, now you come to mention it is very reminiscent of the 'Wounded Woman' LP, especially the arrangement /piano. First time I heard it, I thought it was Aretha, tho..!

Exactly

This. Out on 7' for the first ever time, I believe. They also issued the LP for Record Store Day. Neither to much interest so far as far as I can tell. But what an utterly fantastic sound (and I believe the 7 is the one that may eventually become sought after). Can you get a better newly released single for a tenner?

 

These are numbered, how many is the run??

Great track btw

I don't know. I got the 7 which is just a general release. Then the LP came out for record shop day, I suppose that would be the numbered one. Can't imagine they did a huge run of either.  Bit odd releasing it both ways as I am not sure if it's all that well known but great to have for the first time on a 7 rather than a repress of the LP! I think I heard / read Shirley herself is involved somehow in the release.

Really like this off the album as well

Here's a fine new release which seems to have generally gone unnoticed:

The new Bobby Oroza LP is out this week and has some great tracks.

Mr. Oroza is very talented, great artist

This one has been about for a few years but now out on (limited) vinyl for the first time, I think? Massive.

new 45 record

this is one for lovers of the more modern, jazz funky disco stuff - only 200 pressed so will be rare

"Only 200 copies Hand Numbered, and Cover Art Hand made by parisian artist Didier Clain ! !"

which is reason enough to get it

sadly no video or sound file available to post here, get on over to Bandcamp to listen to it

This is really good, whatever era it came from. Copies drying up...

 

One of the best recent releases imo . Ltd press ‘White’ originals (released March 2019?) shooting up in price , plenty of ‘yellow’ represses at sub £10 tho .

What I don't get about this is, why has it suddenly become good just because it's been released on a 45 several years after the original CD was released?

Cause the northern lot can play it whilst still disappearing up their backsides

Just landed here - Betty Everett ‘Killer Diller’ 7’’ Ep (33rpm) with pic sleeve . Side A  has 50s alternative takes - ‘Killer Diller’ ,  ‘Ain’t gonna cry’ & ‘My love’. Side B has early 60s sides ‘Why did you have to go’ , ‘I’ll be there’ & ‘I’ve got a claim on you’ 

Released on El Toro .

Re-read my original message. And don't be so patronising. I'm guessing that some people who are into northern / rare soul like vinyl 7s....

I don’t he is being patronising and he does have a point, most on these topics are simply not interested in these records until they have had a vinyl release, not everyone btw but the majority.  Hardly anyone was interested in Ernest Ernie when it was just a download, the same for Kindred The Family Soul, hardly anyone on the northern scene is interested in a cd or download.

Yes indeed but we all know about downloads, etc already. If I hear a new track I like, first thing I do is look if it's out on vinyl. I know it's backwards but like most on here, I suspect, I'm a record collector / child of the 60s / 70s and while I might like something that's only available that way, I am never ever gonna get excited about downloading a download.  Buying a 7 on the other hand....

  All the best.

More on a disco /boogie tip but like this a lot. One for the purist download collectors...

Very very nice 

this one available now on Cannonball, great vocal performance and sax breaks

No I wasn't and it wasn't a personal dig at Joe Soap. There's lots of people who have only picked up on thiis track, released in 2014, recently because it came out on a 45. It's as if you could pick any one of 100 great tracks relessed this decade and they would become popular despite being ignored, cheap and readily available since their release. If you like this stuff, wouldn't it better to strech beyond vinyl and just seek out the music?

maybe people do, I listen to music on Spotify, Mixcloud shows, Bandcamp etc plus still buy CD's (lots of tracks CD only) - but it's nice to get the vinyl if it gets released as a 45

vinyl just sounds better to me than a digital file

this one is a limited 45 release, can see this selling out before its June shipping date (there is a longer sound clip on Juno than on Bandcamp)

https://martarengroovelvets.bandcamp.com/album/worth-it

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/marta-ren-worth-it/732048-01/

great new LP from Tony Momrelle, the LP has an exclusive vinyl only track - Bandcamp also has an offer going where you can get the new LP bundled with 2 previous 7" & 10" releases for £25

Looking at Bandcamp , this one could sell out pre release ....

I remember Grace Love being a 100 copy only record and some ignored it, then it blew up...

Here is another 100 copy only record, this time a very limited release LP in yellow vinyl. Great R&B sound.

Yellow pressing run available to buy now.

VINYL LP TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON IN LIMITED EDITION YELLOW VINYL AND REGULAR EDITION LACK VINYL 

4 hours ago, Chalky said:

reading the blurb closely they have made a limited run of 100 yellow vinyl LP's for sale on Bandcamp and at their concerts, effectively a promo LP

can't see where we can buy the regular black vinyl right now, that comes later I think (May 24th)

Juno has the regular one as 'forthcoming'

The 12" has been a Marmite record for the last 12 years or so but still fills the dancefloors.
Now it has finally got a legitimate 7" edit & release.
Be quick though as it has sold out twice in the last 24 hours on Juno.

There is no link yet for the black vinyl but they say it will be coming.

I don’t quite get the hype or fascination behind some of these European so called soul acts.  This as with others appears to be another release for me that seems to be more about the rarity and the colour than the quality.  Yeah its not a bad Lp, well the two tracks I’ve heard but you only have to look who is behind the production and wonder who it is aimed at.

I’d sooner spend that kinda money on a decent 60s or 70s Lp, there is at the end of the day no comparison.

I’ve got an autographed copy on the way 

One they brought out back end of last year that’s on the album 

cracking track been enjoying the LP today

Absolutely love this, tune of the year so far, for me.  Great old school feel 

if you can get through this without feeling any emotion then you know you have a problem

a new release album with absolutely amazing soul vocals (obviously the video adds elements not on the audio playback)

this hit me like Angie Stone did back in the day
