Label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
MR 024LP
"Animals + Men -- named after a song by Adam and the Ants -- started life around the winter of 1978-1979 when Susan Wells took over vocal duties in what was a three piece called Psychotic Reaction. Based in Frome Somerset, their first release
Don't Misbehave in the New Age
(1980) was an indie hit. When the band split in '81, Susan and Ralph formed the Terraplanes. A & M/Terraplanes released three vinyl 45s. A few years ago, demos by the band surfaced on the Messthetics/Hyped 2 Death label. Recently, the band have reformed and performed the odd gig and are releasing an EP of new songs soon on Convulsive Records. Mississippi Records is proud to be the first to release an entire LP containing the three 45s and early demos, all recorded between 1979-1983. For fans of early UK DIY."

Hum Of Life
Label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
MR 035LP
"When we put out the
Mental Blocks For All Ages
, the obvious question from everyone who excitedly plopped down their nine bucks on our glass counter was, 'Are you gonna put out
Hum Of Life
?' So here it is, the follow up to
Mental Blocks
. Recorded in '93, DFH lays down 11 tracks of thumping drums, pulsating bass lines, most unusual guitar squacks and Marion Coutts belting out enchanting melodies with voice and her trusty trumpet. 8 Eyed Spy and Ornette Coleman covers (it's legit, I swear) complete this perfect album of political art-punk at its best."

"Compilation culled from Abners' self released LPs & 7"s featuring hits such as 'I'm So Depressed,' 'Cocaine', 'Vietnam,' & 'The Reason Young People Do Drugs.'

BARFIELD, CECIL
Title:
South Georgia Blues
Label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
MR 040LP
"Recorded by George Mitchell in 1978, this LP was originally released by the Southland label under the name 'William Robertson.' Due to Cecil's superstitions and legitimate fears of the taxman, he insisted that it come out under a false name. Cecil was an unusual blues musician, giving each song its own feel and rhythm. Another underrated American original. This is a co-release with Big Legal Mess Records."

Title:
Yverzucht
Label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
MR 042LP
"De Kift emerged from a Dutch squatters' movement and the punk waves of the late '70s and early '80s. Their debut vinyl LP
Yverzucht
was released in 1989. Ferry: guitar & brass (Svatsox); Wim: drums (Rondos, the Ex); Jacco (GRRR): bass; Maarten: vocals (Pistache B.V.). De Kift were a tremendous and original force at the time. Sparse, rhythmic, angular, yet energetic music. Staccato punk with fanfare elements. Maarten's lyrics were recited, spat out and crooned, bleak reflective explorations of the Dutch mental state of the times. Maarten (as well as Jacco) departed the band after debuting
Yverzucht
. Out of the ashes, emerged a new conceptual, literary De Kift that would play on for 20 years. De Kift were part of the squatter movement. Playing benefits, raising funds, eyebrows and soundtracking a lifestyle on its last legs." Includes insert with Dutch/English lyrics.

CHIN CHIN
Title:
We Don't Wanna Be Prisoners
Label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format:
7"
Price:
$5.50
Catalog #:
MR 052EP
"From Biel Switzerland comes this little known group. One of the few all-girl bands (along with Kleenex/Lilliput) to come out of the early '80s Swiss punk scene. Chin Chin definitely considered themselves a punk band. Although their catchy pop vocals and harmonies strongly align them with the burgeoning C86 scene. They shared bills with The Shop Assistants, Television Personalities, The Pogues and New Model Army, before the band drifted into obscurity. This 7" was originally released in 1984 on the band's own, Farmer Records. It contains 3 self-penned songs and marks their first and punkest release. Keep your eyes peeled for their full length LP out soon as a split between the Mississippi and Slumberland labels."
