Delayed until March/2025... "A massive photographic archive of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's legendary recording studio. A 600-page tribute to one of the most famous locales in music history, Black Ark is a detailed inventory of photographs and writings from the Black Ark Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, where producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry created music from 1973 onward. The eclectic and constantly evolving decoration of the studio provides an enduring visual counterpart to Perry's expansive musical catalog. From mural paintings to shape-shifting assemblages of records, instruments, found objects, posters and newspaper clippings, the artworks layer upon one another as they intertwine with the studio building itself. Perry created his own dense and diverse world in which to work: memorialized in this volume before the Black Ark disappears for good. The photographic documentation of the studio in the spring of 2021 was supplemented by efforts to secure and preserve Perry's works, objects and recordings as part of a joint project with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Black Ark reflects the rhythm and layering effects of collage both in its content and the materials used to craft the book. Perry was involved in the development of this publication until his death in August 2021. The book closes with memorial essays from Ishion Hutchinson, David Katz, Kodwo Eshun, and John Corbett. Lee 'Scratch' Perry (1936-2021) was a musician and producer best known for pioneering the dub genre in the 1970s. He worked with well-known Jamaican artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Heptones, the Congos, and Max Romeo. In 2003 he won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album."

"Jim Franks is not a professional baker, because there are no such things as professional bakers. He is also not your father and never will be, nor is this a cookbook full of stories and recipes. Jim Franks is a baker and a poet who's written a love story about bread, which is to say he's written a life story about listening, learning, trying, failing, adapting, and above all, caring. Through humor, history, relentless curiosity, and refreshingly unsentimental poetry, Existential Bread teaches there are many ways to bake a loaf just as there are many ways to live a life." Paperback; 5.5" x 8.25" / 170pp "Existential Bread is a collected bakers' common sense from Jim Franks, one of the most knowledgeable people about modern baking in the United States today." --Matt Kedzie, Owner-Baker of Starter Bread "Part love letter, part philosophical manifesto, Jim Frank's book is an earnest and charming exploration of our human relationship with bread and what it takes to make it." --Fiona Cook, Author of The Wheel of the Year "In a world of samey-samey, this book is different. Jim Franks doesn't want you to make his bread (by providing glossy photos and detailed recipes); he wants you to make your bread (by sharing his practice and what he has learned). In a world of 'shoulds' and 'bottom lines,' Existential Bread creates space while providing structure for you to fall in love with the ancient act of making bread. Plus, it's a very fun read." --Abra Berens, Author of Ruffage, Grist and Pulp

Delayed further... until early 2025.."Pioneering media artist and concrete poet Ferdinand Kriwet's 1971 cult artist's book in a facsimile edition. A monumental, three-volume encyclopedia of alphabetically organized images, Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars was first published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 1971. In the 1960s, German author and media artist Ferdinand Kriwet (1942-2018), inspired by concrete poetry and its interest in the visual quality of linguistic signs, began to approach the literary medium of the book in a new way. Imagining new ways of reading that resisted linearity, Kriwet experimented with alternatives, encouraging a rapid back-and-forth between the pages of the book and the texts and images on them. In Stars, he treats images like words and arranges them in alphabetical order in an epic encyclopedia format. For years, Stars has only been available, at considerable cost, in antiquarian book catalogs. This new facsimile edition of Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars brings Kriwet's pioneering vision and his seminal book back into print." 416 pages. 2.5 pounds. 5.50(w) x 8.75(h).

12 punk rock bedrooms displaying and listing memorabilia from each of the top punk bands. "The bedroom wall and what to cover it with has always been a dilemma through the ages as we reveled in our teenage/rebellious glory. Posters, flyers, ticket stubs badges tour programs and record sleeves. Items we gathered, begged and stole were carried home after sweaty nights in clubs and pubs. Tape and blu tack in hand we tried to find a place to add our new additions. I always thought it would be great to show the punk rock items of what I call 'the class of '76' groups I had gathered over the years in a bedroom setting. Each room could have a different theme. Blondie, Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Damned, Generation X, The Jam, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Stranglers, and maybe a mixed Punk Room with all the above and some smaller bands to fill out the story. Maybe I could then put all that in a book to show the beauty of it all. So I did and here it is. I hope all this madness might bring back some fond memories for you as you flick through these pages." --Mal-One

In Straight Up, Without Wings, Joe McPhee surveys sixty years in creative music. Starting with his trumpeter-father's influence and formative years in the U.S. Army, McPhee recounts experiences as a Black-hippy-cum-budding-musician based in upstate New York, perched at an ideal distance from Manhattan's free jazz demimonde of the 1960s and its loft scene of the 1970s. A natural storyteller, revealing never-told tales and reveling in the joys of noise, McPhee puts the influence of -- and encounters with -- Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Albert Ayler into the context of an independently-minded young player, ravenous for experience, dealing with the crucible of racism, seeking to break out beyond the bounds of a regional Hudson Valley scene that he knows like the back of his hand. The memoir draws forward through thrilling passages in Europe and across the United States, as McPhee gains momentum, as his music becomes the impetus for multiple record labels, as he collaborates with figures from Peter Brötzmann to Pauline Oliveros, and as he eventually goes on to inspire musicians far and wide. Written as an oral history, deftly conducted by Mike Faloon to preserve McPhee's unique narrative voice, Straight Up, Without Wings includes "reflections" by eight musicians from across the protagonist's rich history. Photography: Ziga Koritnik, Ken Brunton, John Corbett. First printing, edition of 1000. 166 pages. Dimensions: 8.5" x 6" x .5".

"Hardback in slipcase with 7" vinyl. Out of print since its initial 2012 very limited first edition run. Contains exclusive 7" featuring previously unreleased 1983 interview with Barney Sumner conducted by the author. Over 400 unique-to-this-publication photos of the band and 200 plus images of rare memorabilia. No one has ever documented the early live career of a truly iconic band in such detail. Dec Hickey saw every New Order UK gig between Feb '81 and June '84 -- some fifty plus nights! Forewords by Peter Hook and Stephen Morris. Introductions by Moby and . Paul Morley. Moby: 'Up until about 10 minutes ago I thought that the depths of my Joy Division/New Order obsession were untouched/unmatched. Then I looked through this book. Ah boy, I'm beaten. And in awe.' Paul Morley: 'I can very much understand someone having an obsession with New Order. It was inevitable that a fan, a loyal, attentive follower, of such a group on such a meticulous label releasing records packaged with such scrupulous suggestive care would themselves be particularly obsessive. The fan(atic) symbolizes the idea that without obsession, life is nothing. For the fan, New Order are an ideal object of desire, the perfect pop group -- in the form of a perfect puzzle, an actual sign of fluid intelligence -- to obsess over, to collect, analyze, interpret, treasure, and ultimately possess.'"

"On the cover: AR Kane. Overlooked in their late '80s Mk 1 era and unsung for years after their 1994 split, the duo of Alex Ayuli and Rudy Tambala heralded many landmark developments in '90s music: most famously dreampop, shoegaze and post-rock. Through their embrace of dub, soul and club-forward forms they also impacted the development of trip hop, ambient dub and even, obliquely, house music's explosion into the charts. With last year's release of the AR Kive box set and a return to live activity, they talk to early supporter Simon Reynolds about what to expect next. Inside the issue: Yatta, Sun Yizhou, Cuntroaches. Invisible Jukebox: Sun Araw."

"A 470-page hardcover book featuring highly detailed photos and comprehensive research on 222 portable vinyl record players. Once considered little more than a children's plaything or a grade school accessory, the portable record player has gained newfound respect in recent years. Whatever they may lack in high-end audio fidelity, battery-powered turntables more than make up for it with their convenience and ease of use. Just ask any crate digger: a cult favorite portable like the Columbia GP-3 or the Audio-Technica Sound Burger (or even the Fisher-Price Big Bird model) can be an absolutely essential companion on an all-day vinyl hunt. Portables features lavish, detailed photos of 222 portable turntables from around the world, including rare record players from Japan, the UK, Germany and the Soviet Union as well as the USA, and ranging in vintage from the 1920s to the early twenty-first century. They're all gorgeously captured here by photographer Eilon Paz, with accompanying commentary from music historian Dan Epstein. Whether you're a hardcore turntable collector, an aficionado of cool vintage audio gear, a student of industrial design, or a vinyl lover curious about the wild world of portable record players, Portables will make your head spin -- and will soon have you scouring thrift stores, antique malls, and even your grandma's attic for the portable record player of your dreams."

The growth of the Jamaican recording industry. Records have played an integral part in the history of Jamaican music and the importance of making records, as opposed to making music, can never be overstated. These are the stories, told through first-hand accounts wherever possible, of the men and women -- manufacturers, musicians, singers, deejays, arrangers and record producers -- who made the records and who made the sound of reggae available worldwide. 350-page hardback book. Illustrated throughout with period photos, artifacts and record labels.
"This volume of what promises to become a crucial series covers in comprehensive fashion Jamaican music's pivotal phase, when the music absorbed its US influences from soul and moved on from rock steady and progressed to the uniquely Jamaican sound of reggae and rockers. It was a period in which old and new rhythms became the cornerstone of the music and thus the true foundation of reggae. This second volume in the trilogy, amply illustrated, contains a wealth of interview testimony from the creators of the music and is both utterly authentic and essential reading." --Steve Barrow, Co-author of Reggae The Rough Guide
"If you couldn't be there, or even thereabouts, at the time, consider this book your very own literary TARDIS to help you to relive the evolution of Jamaican music at (almost) first hand. I'm very proud to have had even the smallest involvement with this essential read." --Tony Rounce, Author and Music Historian

"Perhaps you first encountered Lesley Arfin in the pages of Vice -- where her 'Dear Diary' column ran for six years in the aughts, rampaging you the reader through the flaming youth of a Long Island misfit girl and all the shit she tried. Or maybe it was the book collection -- all those searing 'Diary' entries coupled with latter-day Lesley's acerbic responses. Or perhaps, like your present writer, you sat up late, until late became early, falling in with the poor fucked-up creatures of Love (Netflix, 2016?2019), your heart breaking for the familiarity of their simple desires and the mayhem that followed. Plus, there's Girls, Awkward, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Betty; there's any number of ways you might have happened upon Lesley Arfin over the past twenty-plus years. As a comedian and a writer and a producer, her signature ability is to channel the heaviest of feels from the excruciating kind of real-life trouble that people put themselves through just trying to live every day. A gut-punch punctuated with a belly-laugh. Now, reflect on Tickle Me, and Lesley's path not traveled (until now): visual artist! As a kid, she wanted to write comic books. But she wasn't a happy artist in her youth, or a good one (so she thought), so she stuck to writing, up until her acumen'd brought her to the apex of the craft: the grind of network television. By then, doing a little painting seemed downright relaxing! Plus, it was therapeutic -- until it got to be so compelling it was like OCD. The busier she was -- with work, marriage, having a baby -- the more images came, the more paintings piled up. As you move through the images that make up Tickle Me, you see Lesley tapping her familiar depths and the creepy humor that she finds down there -- but through an outrageous riot of flowers and colors and '70s Sears Catalog imagery! If this is a safe space, then is there actually NO safe space? Fuhgettaboutit -- it's all just life space. Tickle Me features Lesley's early expressions of her truth in graphic art. Glittery reflections on gender, weather, mistakes, feminism, fantasy, failure, nostalgia; her own personal language rendered in watercolor, gauche, acrylic, fiber, stickers and collage. Like life, no guarantees, other than from that from any beginning, it can only keep growing. And it has, and it will."

"When Paul Simon first heard the Zulu accordion flourish that would open his multi-platinum album Graceland, he told Joe Boyd that it seemed to proclaim, 'You haven't heard this before!' Yet the 'world music' boom of the 1980s that Simon's album helped to usher in had roots that extended back through the decades and across continents: tango on the eve of World War I, Latin dance across the '30s, '40s and '50s, reggae in the '70s, pre-War samba and pre-Beatles bossa nova, Eastern European ensembles filling capitalist concert halls during the Cold War, Indian ragas changing rock and roll in the 1960s, gypsy music inspiring classical composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. As far back as 1853, the music that had intrigued Simon had captivated London during a Zulu choir's extended run there. (Only Charles Dickens dissented.) Like that of other far-flung musical traditions sweeping the globe, the story of Zulu music and its relationship to neighbors, invaders, appropriators, and admirers -- from brutal 19th century massacres to 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' -- is more controversial, colorful, and complex than many imagine. Joe Boyd was part of a small group of label heads and journalists who chose 'world music' as their marketing slogan in the 1980s. Already the legendary producer of artists including Pink Floyd, The Incredible String Band, Soft Machine, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Toots and the Maytals, and many others, Boyd had little idea how fast and how wide those simple words would spread, or how far back the history went. He would soon learn, producing pathbreaking music in Cuba, Brazil, Bulgaria, Mali, Hungary, Spain, and India under his label Hannibal Records. Following the success of his book White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s, a self-published smash hit, Boyd now sets out to explore the stories behind the world music he had helped to popularize. He has traveled across continents and interviewed dozens of musicians, producers, and academics, and spent years reading, listening, and writing. The one-of-a-kind result is And The Roots of Rhythm Remain: a riveting, symphonic, globetrotting tour of the music that shapes the world. Hardcover. 900 pages."

"Ugly Things #66 on the cover: a mind-blowing, emotional interview with Michelle Phillips about the stratospheric highs and catastrophic lows she experienced with the Mamas & the Papas -- the music, the men, the drugs, the power trips, and the magical, inviolable, fragile chemistry they shared as a group. Also: the history of Peru's greatest psychedelic band, Traffic Sound; Peter Stanfield goes deep on the MC5's 1972 UK sojourn; '60s garage punks the Emperors from Long Beach, California and the Traits from Pelham, NY; the continuing story of UK '70s punk outsiders the Subway Sect; soul music songwriter hero Dan Penn; Japanese Mod power pop trio the Badge; Canadian '60s garage/psychsters the Fringe -- and lots more, including, as always, the expansive and essential review sections covering all the latest vinyl and CD reissues, and rock 'n' roll-related books."
