"Folk-Funk? Electric Folk? Hippy-Rock? Acid Folk? Sunshine-Pop? Folk-Fusion? Folksploitation? Once again music lovers struggle to bridge the deep and wide gully where another hybrid genre wanders lonely amongst the vinyl ghosts of yesteryears' ethereal love songs. Let us introduce a flock of unsung songbirds who flutter between rocks and hardened pastures too commercial to be traditional -- not successful enough to be credible -- from the wrong side of town -- on the other side of the globe. Here are some of the would-be folk legends that you didn't read about, they never played the festivals and you never heard their records... until today. Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word is the debut release from Delay 68 Records, a brand-new label from Cherry Red Records, set to bring you the best in folk, funk, psych, prog, ye-ye, & beat from across the world. Compiled by, and featuring original artwork and sleevenotes from Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve), fans of Andy's groundbreaking Music To Watch Girls Cry mix CD (an insanely eclectic mix of 75 tracks in 76 minutes!), and Finders Keepers' compilation on Fat City Records will have some indication of what to expect from this enthralling compilation." Artists include: Carol Batton, Kathy Smith, Sarofeen & Smoke, Brigitte Fontaine, Linda Perhacs, Breakout, Musica Dispersa, The Poppy Family, Wendy & Bonnie, Bonnie Koloc, Heaven & Earth, Erica Pomerance, Audience, The Roundtable, and Sidan.

Title:	Howlin' At The Moon
Label:	DELAY 68 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DELAY 002CD

"Continuing the folk theme of Delay 68's debut release, the Folk Is Not a Four Letter Word compilation, we present one of the original and long lost folk-rock-funksters, Don Cooper. Laden with sunshine-soaked melodies, round-the-campfire guitars, troubadour vocals and hip-hop beats, despite being recently sampled by the likes of hip-hop giants MC Search and Dilated People, Don Cooper has previously been resigned to obscurity, but no longer -- Howlin' At The Moon is the first-ever 'Best Of' from this enigmatic singer/songwriter, drawing on his Roulette Records output from 1970-1972."

Title:	Prog Is Not a Four Letter Word
Label:	DELAY 68 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DELAY 003CD

"Whoever came up with the over-pretentious, collective term 'Progressive Rock' couldn't have been less forward thinking. Prog rock in its truest form was not a 'restrictive' genre -- it was a movement that unified ALL genres. Forget such flamboyant cover stars such as Genesis, Yes and ELP, what of the truly progressive international rock musicians who started their own hybrid-hurricanes outside the rectangular iris of Prog's media storm? What about the unintentionally progressive musicians from the far reaches of the globe who were forced to create their own brand of psychedelic rock in a country shielded from the influence of the western world? And why don't we spare a thought (and some needle time), for the culturally progressive crusaders carrying the rock-music flag in the face of political adversity risking social ostracizing or even death? Even though most of the 15 tracks on this compilation were recorded over 30 years ago they still, individually embody a wide range of challenging progressive musical ideas which are as relevant today as they were when the vinyl first came off the press in each of their scattered countries of origin. Prog Is Not A Four Letter Word is the follow-up to Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve)'s critically-acclaimed Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word (CDDELAY01)." Artists: Picchio dal Pozzo, Visitors, Baris Manco, Phillipe Besombes Drugi Nacin, Bran, Breakout, Martin Kratochvil, San Ul Lim, Egg, 3 Hurel, Illes, Jean Claude Vannier, Embryo, Czerwone Gitary, Jazz Q.

Title:	Wool
Label:	DELAY 68 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DELAY 004CD

"The first ever reissue of the criminally underexposed self-titled 1969 LP from juggernaut-rockfunk outfit Wool. Formerly known as The Pineapple Heard, Wool was comprised of brother and sister Ed and Claudia Wool, Pete Lulis (drums), Tom Haskell (guitar) and Eddie Barrella (bass). Plucked from obscurity by producer legend David Rosner and Margo Guryan. Primarily a covers band, Wool inject their own brand of infectious juggernaut-rock-funk into the likes of Neil Diamond's 'The Boy With The Green Eyes' (reputably with a little help from the man himself), Big Brother And The Holding Company's 'Combination Of The Two' and Dyke & The Blazers' 'Funky Walk,' as well as stamping their own authority with self-penned peons 'If They Left Us Alone Now.'"
