Title:	No New York
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 102CD

One of the records that becomes more & more definitive with each passing decade, never before reissued "legitimately" until now. Now? Well, this one is licensed from Universal Music Plc., Russia -- a company that does seems to exist -- you tell me. Probably no-noised from vinyl, but sounding acceptable. This record is simply -- IT. "One of the brightest and most famous projects of the entire punk/new wave scene, No New York was released in 1978 on Island's sub-label Antilles and became a total cult in the indie scene. Featuring some of the most incredible rule breaking bands of the underground New York art and music scene, the project -- strongly pursued by Brian Eno -- is a genuine snapshot of the massively creative NYC scene, from which innumerable trends started and became part of the modern pop music as we know it. Influential, powerful and ground breaking, this collection features four of the top icon shattering Gotham City no-wavers like James Chance (Contortions), Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori (DNA), Lydia Lunch (Teenage Jesus) and Sumner Crane (Mars). If you missed the original it's time to get your hands on this reissue. The CD digipack version includes a detailed booklet." Booklet contains lyrics to all songs, in Cyrillic and English.

Title:	Come My Way
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 104CD

"In 1965 Marianne Faithful released two debut albums simultaneously, a self-titled pop album and an album called Come My Way comprised somewhat unexpectedly of folk tunes. While the first album generally reaffirmed her persona as she-devil and soulless poster child of that hedonistic generation, the latter gave listeners a fleeting glimpse of a hidden darker side, perhaps an unintentional foretelling of those black days that would soon follow. This reissue, available briefly in the UK and Japan, features four bonus tracks: her classic 1969 single 'Sister Morphine,' released prior to the Rolling Stones' version, the 1964 B-side 'Blowin' in the Wind,' 'Et Maintenant,' from a 1965 EP and the 1966 B-side 'That's Right Baby'."

"Although probably best known for her implication in the 1976 shooting death of her boyfriend Olympic skier Spider Sabich, this sexy French chanteuse / overall swingin' chick released a string of sophisticated pop albums in the late sixties while married to long forgotten Vegas crooner / TV star Andy Williams. Claudine's albums have long been cult favorites among fans of the genre and Colours, Longet's fourth album, originally released in 1969 by A&M, is probably also her best. Featuring breathy versions of songs by Donovan, The Everly Brothers, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, and Randy Newman."

Title:	The Moonstone
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 106CD

Russian reissue of this 1969 MGM album. "Hunky Blues Project singer Tommy Flanders dropped out of the NYC band after their 1966 debut, probably to the joy of his management & Verve marketers. A few years & zero-interest singles later, his first & only solo LP shattered any commercial notions his handlers had. Flanders shed the R&B/Blues-covers hat for one that wouldn't be out of place on Robin Williamson's head. Moonstone, which appeared & disappeared in '69, doesn't quite have the din of most career-suicide records, but the trick was turned none the less. A dusted, laid-back folk affair from the start, Flanders thumbed a ride back to New England that left him a brokenhearted troubadour at the tree-line of the spirit world. Tommy vibes his way to a cross between a low-key, slightly fey take on Gene Clark/Kristofferson on-the-road coke-folk & later flowery, private-press freedom. A singer at heart, Flanders rounds out his studio group with the great guitarist Bruce 'Mr. Tambourine Man' Langhorne, who fills this album's sound up to near forgotten-classic status. Never-were heavies "Purple and Blue" & "The Moonstone" will pay for themselves on this flower for Dylan that's not quite Red Hash, but not quite James Taylor either." -- Kris Price.

Artist:	BLACK MERDA
Title:	Black Merda
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 111CD

"Hailing from late-'60s Detroit, Black Merda (pronounced "Murder") were both aesthetically and musically way ahead of their time. When most black groups (including Parliament/ Funkadelic) were still sporting suits, singing about love and using a horn section, Black Merda had already become a tight guitar-heavy freak-funk four piece. By weaving guitar rock and psychedelia into soul and R&B they were the gods of the underground 'black rock' movement which fell somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Parliament and MC5. But it wasn't just about the music, the message was just as important. As with the original release, features a 30-second 11th track not mentioned in the track listing on the outer sleeve but present on the album."

Title:	The American Dream
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 112CD

"In 1971, Billboard magazine called him 'one of the finest artists on the music scene today' and later referred to his debut as one of the 'best albums of the decade.' Although his brief flirtation with stardom quickly evaporated, his music is still considered 'essential listening' by '70s rock aficionados and pop fans, particularly his critically-acclaimed self-titled magnum opus, which climbed to the top of the charts in the U.S., and American Dream. Often called 'Paul McCartney's musical twin,' his influence can definitely be felt here, particularly on songs like 'Mother Earth' and 'Holly Park.' But Emitt was no McCartney copy cat, he was simply a musical genius of the same caliber, exploring pop music in the same direction. Unlike his self-titled debut, which features Rhodes playing and recording every instrument, this features session musicians and a few old tracks from his previous band Merry Go Round, like the fine 'You're A Lovely Woman.'"

Title:	Musik Von Harmonia
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD

Catalog #:	LR 119CD

"Once called 'the world's most important rock group' by Brian Eno, legendary minimalist avant-garde band Harmonia was formed in the early '70s by Michael Rother of Neu! and Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster. Although this supergroup produced only two studio albums -- 1974's Musik von Harmonia and 1975's De luxe -- they were very influential and perfectly embodied the Krautrock ideal. While leaning slightly towards Cluster's ambient sound, they were also entirely their own entity -- a jet engine running clean and precise but also spouting asphyxiating aural exhaust."

Title:	Bluesmith

Catalog #:	LR 120CD

"Jazz organist Jimmy Smith popularized the use of Hammond organ in jazz music and is credited with having invented the soul jazz style. Many of his albums are classics and his influence is omnipresent in the jazz world. For this stellar 1972 release on Verve, the Organ Grinder accompanied by Leroy Vinnegar, Teddy Edwards, Ray Crawford, Donald Dean and Victor Pantoja comes home to where it all began: the blues. These high spirited and relaxed sessions give each musician the chance to stretch out over a tantalizingly funky blues that features five Smith originals along with Harvey Siders' 'Mournin' Wes,' a tribute to friend and fellow musician Wes Montgomery."

Catalog #:	LR 130LP

"The undisputed leaders of the early gothic scene, and a seminal band that contributed to the rise of British post-punk, the Cure recorded their debut album Three Imaginary Boys at London's Morgan Studios and released it on May 8, 1979. After touring for almost all of 1977, the band changed their name to The Cure and rearranged their line-up with the sacking of Porl Thompson, giving birth to an unusual power trio. This line-up lasted only for their first album, making it unique in its essentially minimal sound. The year was now 1978, and the three (imaginary?) boys soon signed to Chris Parry's Fiction Label. What you hold in your hands is the faithful re-release of the original UK pressing. After this issue, the album was released in the US with a different title (Boys Don't Cry -- from one of the band's best selling singles) and a slightly different track listing."

"Originally released in 1968, Caetano Veloso's debut album did for Brazilian music what the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's did for rock & roll, giving birth to the soon-to-be tropicalia movement, which fused Brazilian music with pop, psychedelia and social awareness (and Veloso's leftist politics actually earned him a stint in jail in 1968 for 'anti-government activity'). Veloso, nonetheless went on to become one of the most popular and influential Brazilian musicians of all time. Includes the genre-defining classics 'Clarice' and 'Soy Loco Por T�, Am�rica,' 'Superbacana,' 'Tropicalia' and 'Alegria, Alegria.'"

Recorded shortly after their move away from the metropolis of Berlin, it sees some of the abrasiveness of their earlier material slightly diffusing. With the addition of proto drum machines and the producing talents of Michael Rother, their sound here -- while remaining firmly anchored in experimental territory -- has more pop sensibility." New liner notes by Asmus Tietchens (which mention that the title translates as "Sugar Era").

Then in 1954, blues legend Muddy Waters famously offered him a spot in his band and Cotton went on to play with Muddy for 12 years. His first record as bandleader, however, was not released until 1967, on Verve. Pure Cotton, also on Verve, was released the following year and here Cotton, age 33, finally gets a chance to stretch out and be himself (meaning, he gets down and dirty and plays that harp like his ass was on fire, sometimes even blowing the keys out of the instrument)!"

"Often referred to as 'Brazil's unofficial poet laureate' and the 'Bob Dylan of Brazil,' this heavy-weight of Brazilian music was also a young revolutionary who used his music to protest against Brazil's oppressive military regime. This protest music, which became known as Tropicalia, first earned Veloso a stint in jail, but by the time this dour album was released in 1971, it had placed him in exile in the UK. Veloso's extreme bitterness and melancholy can be heard on every groove of this album, but don't let the album's gloomy atmosphere stop you from buying it; it is dripping with some of the best moments of saudade in the history of Brazilian music."

"Apparently when this album was originally released in 1972, confused and bewildered fans, expecting more of the same found on Transa, released earlier that year, returned the album to the shop, demanding a refund. Meanwhile, critics raved, and many now consider Ara�� Azul, known as Veloso's 'experimental album' to be one of his great creative moments. To be fair to his many fans, it was a stark departure from his previous releases, which were decidedly more pop, but Veloso had been through a lot recently, having just returned from political exile in the UK, so it is no wonder that the artist was feeling a bit like he needed to fly in the face of conformity. In Veloso's own words, 'I made this album without thinking, without taking the time to stop to think.' He refers to the album's 'insolent experimentalism' and calls it a kind of 'last stand.'"

In fact, Jobim had just finished working on an album with Frank Sinatra when he went into the studio to record this album. Recorded in 1967, Wave is actually one of the lesser known masterpieces of Brazilian music, and undoubtedly one of Jobim's greatest.

The general tone of the album keeps with its dire message -- Veloso felt it was important for his voice of protest to be heard around the world. If he was a high-profile public figure, he felt that he would be safer. All this and the man still managed to make excellent records!"

Artist:	AFFINITY
Title:	Affinity
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 145CD

"Formed in 1970, Affinity broke the British jazz-rock mold by combining the hauntingly powerful vocals of Linda Hoyle (lauded by critics as the British Grace Slick) and the Hammond wizardry of Lynton Naiff (considered the rising star of jazz-pop in the style of Brian Auger) with convincing elements of psych and blues, often close to that of Julie Driscoll & the Trinity. Unfortunately, despite the critical acclaim the band received at the time, they only stayed around long enough to release one LP. Featuring 8 rare tracks not found on their original release, including two tracks from their rare single and two tracks from their 1969 EMI acetate."
