Only because of a variety of misplacement's, fortunate accidents and persistent collectors do these discs survive, and those that have done so can differ greatly as to quality and condition.

Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into. A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential.

War of the Worlds is the debut studio album by Jeff Wayne, retelling the story of The War of the Worlds by HG Wells, released September 6, 1978. The passages on this LP are from the actual radio broadcast, Not something taken from a tape, they are archived from the original 4 large 16in acetates that were cut directly from the radio transmission.

A concept album, its main format is progressive rock and string orchestra, using narration and leitmotifs to carry the story via rhyming melodic lyrics that express the feelings of the various characters. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment. The runouts of variants 1, 2, 3, 5 (side A) and 6 are stamped except any numbers after T1, T2, or T4 are etched. Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung.

Includes the original double gatefold with 16 page booklet containing lyrics, full script, original paintings and credits. His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. It represents a moment in time when the "average joe" had their ears glued to their radio tube sets in utter hysteria.Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings].

Note that this whole concept was done live in a studio with actors, sound effects records, gadgets and many other noise makers. The actual broadcast by The Mercury Theatre On The Air as heard over the Columbia Broadcasting System, October, 30 1938.
