Artist: DOG FACED HERMANS
Title: Mental Blocks For All Ages
Label: MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format: LP
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: MR 015LP
Repressed. "Dog Faced Hermans was a five-piece band whose style could be described as anarcho-artpunk incorporating folk and noise influences as well as unorthodox instrumentation. Hailing from Scotland, DFH came out of the herky-jerky Glasgow scene with bands like Stretchheads, Dawson and Archbishop Kebab. Mental Blocks was their 2nd full length LP, released in 1991 on the band's own Demon Radge label. They had 3 LPs, 1 12" EP and a collection of EPs, comp tracks and splits before signing on with Alternative Tentacles for their last two LPs. Guitarist Andy Moor has been a part of The Ex for about 12 years now, and bassist Colin McLean is now playing as part of The Ex's live set. DFH has influenced bands such as Erase Errata, Veronica Lipgloss, God Is My Co-Pilot, and many more. Mental Blocks is considered one of their (if not the) best and hardest to find albums. Remastered by members of the band for improved clarity over the original release."


Artist: ANIMALS + MEN
Title: Never Bought Never Sold: Singles + Demos 1979-83
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."


Artist: VA
Title: Fight On, Your Time Ain't Long
Label: MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format: LP
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: MR 025LP
2009 repress. "Compilation of sanctified blues recorded between 1927-1934. This is our sequel to the popular Life Is A Problem LP. Twelve songs of pure guitar-driven gospel. This slab is as melodic as it is rockin'. Features songs by Bukka White, Willie Mae Morris, Bo Weevil Jackson, Kid Prince Moore and more."


Artist: TILLIS, PERRY
Title: In Times Like These
Label: MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format: LP
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: MR 034LP
"Perry Tillis was born July 29, 1919, in Elba, Alabama , and began playing his brand of rambling blues at a very early age. He continued playing the blues and singing gospel, despite going blind, up until his death on November 3, 2004. In the '40s Tillis played the Chicago blues circuit. However, when a revelation convinced him it was the devil's music, he moved back home and began preaching the gospel. This LP is culled from 72 hours of cassette tapes recorded during the last 10 years of Tillis' life. Extremely lo-fi gospel with Tillis playing guitar and singing into boombox. Not for the faint of heart. This is a first time release of this material. Liner notes included with archival photos. Tip-on jackets."


Artist: DOG FACED HERMANS
Title: 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."


Artist: RATS, THE
Title: Intermittent Signals
Label: MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
Format: LP
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: MR 039LP
"The second release by Portland's own Rats, Fred and Toody's pre-Dead Moon outfit. This record hails from 1981 and holds a place in Portland punk history. Considerably better sound quality compared to the first record. Poster included and tip-on jacket."


Artist: 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."
