GROOVIE 003CD

"Delving deep in the underground and peripheries of Brazilian rock, Groovie Records keeps digging up many-styled and shaped nuggets in various stages of cutting. The result extends the Brazilian Nuggets series, now reaching its second volume. Therefore, The Brazilian Nuggets Vol. 2 continues along the trail paved by its predecessor. Once more, great artwork by Darren Merinuk, amazing work keeping all the spirit of the Brazilian way of living the rock'n'roll. Again the second volume is full of weird'n'garage psych monster themes. Obscure tracks by Os Espioes, Avanco 5, Diana, Giovanne, Sonny Delane, Modern Sound Six, among others. We tried to keep the spirit of the '60s punk, full of fuzz and garage punk, rhythm and a bunch of never seen photos and record covers."

"Groovie Records has the pleasure of presenting The Bubbles. Originally from Brazil, this beat band was the first incarnation of the legendary psych group A Bolha. Raw and Unreleased contains their only 45 from 1966, featuring a superb Portuguese sung cover of The Shakers' 'Break it all,' plus unreleased studio tracks recorded between 1966 and 1969, including some Beatles and Yardbirds covers and a couple of tracks taken from a rare film soundtrack which shows the transition from garage-beat to a more hard psych sound. As a bonus, two tracks taken from the fantastic first single recorded as A Bolha from 1971 are included. Remastered sound and insert featuring liner notes and rare pics."

"When Belgian-Portuguese duo Jess & James (Tony Lam and Wando Lam) released their third LP in 1969, they already had an impressive body of work under their belt. Playing a highly energized blend of pop and soul, they achieved great success in Europe with singles like 'Move' and 'Something for Nothing.' Oddly enough, they were often presented as British musicians instead of Portuguese. Jess & James released a couple of well-received albums in the same style of the singles, a brilliant mix of soul, pop and psych, recorded along with the legendary J.J. Band: Move! (Palette MPB S-3114, 1968 / Belter 22.281) and Revolution, Evolution, Change! (Palette MPB S-3237, 1969 / Belter 22.305). Their next record wouldn't bear the name Jess & James but instead the quite adventurous name of Free Pop Electronic Concept. A New Exciting Experience was a joint effort with experimental composer Arsène Souffriau, one year before the much-lauded Ceremony, where composer Pierre Henry is joined by rock group Spooky Tooth. Later in 1969, Jess & James released their self-titled third and final album which is widely regarded as their best. This time they are joined by top session musicians Scott Bradford (keyboards) and Stu Martin (drums) and the sound changes toward a more hard-psych-prog approach, featuring superb Hammond work and some long jams, at times reminiscent of early Caravan. Here you can find this fabulous album reissued for the first time, licensed from Belter Portugal, plus three bonus tracks taken from non-LP 45s released in 1970-71, in the same musical style."
