Popcorn is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of R&B and pop music made between the late 1950s and mid-1960s, often relatively obscure, and characterized by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The Popcorn music scene first developed from dances held at the Groove discotheque in Ostend, where mid-tempo soul and ska music played by DJ Freddy Cousaert became popular in the late 1960s. In September 1969, a café, De Oude Hoeve, opened in a converted farm barn at Vrasene near Antwerp, and began holding dance competitions on Sunday afternoons. Soon up to 3,000 people began attending each week, dancing in a "slow swing" style. De Oude Hoeve was later renamed Popcorn and the special genre had its name. Later on, the DJs messed up a perfectly fine recipe by adding all kinds of pop tunes as long as the groove was right. The typical Popcorn tempo was usually reached by pitching the record up or down, sometimes massively. This record features 14 pure Popcorn groovers from the "golden era". Features Big Daddy, Lou Johnson, Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks, Roy Brown and His Mighty-Mighty Men, Sam Fletcher, Ivory Joe Hunter, The Sims Twins, Roy Gaines, The Pilgrim Travelers, Lou Rawls, Otis Lee, Jack Grayson and The So And So's, Landy McNeil, Maylon Humphries and The Tri-Seniors, and Louis Jordan.

Buzzsaw Joint was born of a club offering Londoners the chance to revel in the sounds of good ol' trashy rock n' roll in all its vintage vinyl forms. Club top-cat, Fritz, then took the primitive buzzsaw sounds online with a series of savage Mixcloud mixes created by record fiends from all over the globe. Now, the high-octane energy of Buzzsaw Joint has manifested into the physical form with a run of compilations on Stag-O-Lee. Get your ears around the wild n' weird sounds of the extraordinary and inimitable Buzzsaw Joint! There's something goin' on down here in these parts. It's put a buzzing in my head, a thumping in my heart. Buzzsaw Joint is back with a fifth cut and this time a Swedish selector wields the blade. DJ Sophisticated Savage first began sharing his wares in a Stockholm Tiki bar, which explains the raft of exotic sounds found on this compilation. But that's not all, add rock, roll, R&B and soul to the list. What's consistent from start to finish is the quality and obscurity of the selections. Open your ears wide and enjoy the ride. 16 tracks recorded between 1957-1962. Features Bill Springer, Stick Evans, Herb Zane, The Starfires, The Kingston Trio, The Don Schraier Rocktet, The Metallics, Blues Blenders, Jimmy Uke and his Islanders, The Demons, Jimmie Raye, Doodie Woo, Melvin Smith, Rhythmaires, Ray Johnson, and The Scholars.

Hell-O my satanic friends! Do not listen to the evil biblical propaganda from above because you are undoubtedly worthy enough, daring enough, and ready for a second insane stroll through the devil's carnival. For a sinful walk through this hellish fair! You feel seedy enough to secure a second devilish ticket for Satan's fiendish ghost train! Escape your boringly sizzling purgatory and come, hurry up and step in... come aboard, take a seat, because Satan is the only one who really knows how to have a hell of a time. This place is teeming with Azrael's many seductions: Only here, with the devil, will you meet provocatively lovely ladies with sinfully luscious lips and flashing eyes that will tempt, then blow your mind. Only here, with Satan, can you sip the diabolic drinks for free that reflect the malicious moonlight. Only here, with Lucifer, can you feast on promising satanic dishes to delight the depths of your taste buds. And only here, with Satan and his drunken engineers, they will again provide "legions" of breath-taking Gadara-wagons for you, lightning-fast hot-rods, arrow-fast black trains to take you straight to hell! You only need to be prepared to bear the consequences... If you are not a spoilsport! All the artists gathered here can sing a song about it... From Hell with Love, Saint Satan, Old Nick. Compiled by Emmerich Thürmer. Features Gene Vincent, Cliff Carlisle & The Buckeye Boys, Cowboy Copas, Frankie Lane, The Louvin Brothers, Johnny Bond, Johnny Tyler, Roy Acuff, Lefty Frizzell, Frankie Lane, Don Reno & Red Smiley, and Wade Ray.

Here's Dusty Ballroom's second set of sides -- a rather eclectic, swingin' blend of some 1940s jump blues, '50s exotic mambo, kinky doo-wop, wild Eastern surf and Hawaiian Rock n' Roll, a coupl'a burlesque instrumentals, and even a bit of groovy twist and soul. Or as Harvey summed it up so neat: "Anyway You Wanta!" This record is part of an on-going series dedicated to some often over looked golden age dancefloor thrillers. Stag-O-Lee dearly hope you dig this as much as they do and perhaps you will tune in on the next volume as well. Elmo Lewis is part of the Dusty Ballroom Collective, shakin' the Berlin analog music scene since 2008. As mentioned on Volume 1 (STAGO 120LP, 2018), over time you need to give nods and winks to the staff of several venues, lots of live artists wonderfully dedicated to old music, a few select DJs and of course those jumpin' and jivin' cats and kittens oddly enough returning to our all-nighters -- you all rock and roll! For the present selection, Elmo wishes to especially thank Adam, Laura, Nathaniel, and Franziska for their ongoing support to dig in the dust and helping keep the vibes up and the time tunnel's eyelid open. Features Yma Sumac, Stefi Akos, The Bonnie Sisters, The Chips, Harvey Fuqua, The Quarter Notes, Sounds Incorporated, Ted Heath & His Orchestra, Puddle Jumpers, Slim & Slam, Louis Jordan & His Timpany Five, Eartha Kitt, Jay Epae, Lil Anthony & The Imperials, Mel Tormé, Ron Goodwin Orchestra, and Barney Kessel.

It was neither a "stormy Monday", nor "a similar bad Tuesday", when the Retrograph got a call for doing the artwork of old pal Little Victor's "Lo-Fi Recordings" vinyl platter for Stag-O-Lee. They were in touch and shortly after, the idea of compiling weird stuff for "the 5th season" was born. It would have been way too easy concentrating on titles with "Ghost", "Spook", or "Devil" simply in the titles of often very boring and only fast or unbelievable lame tracks, so they went ahead doing something more subtle and special, spanning the decades from the 1920s through the 1940s in a very wild manner. At last, they kicked the term "Halloween" as it should be played the whole year through and every track is solid sending stuff for sophisticated Lindy Hop, Shag, or Balboa-dancing. It was so much fun digging through tons of old 78 rpm records, recording lots of material, and listening to them over and over again, kicking out, taking in, discovering stuff that was unheard over the last years and seemed sleeping til dawn. Then came the artwork and Stag-O-Lee wanted to do something special here as well, so they have taken an old Vocalion shellac sleeve from the '30s as a base for their own needs, trying to preserve the feel of old records from about eight decades ago. It is a nice anachronism in a time, where it is possible, to simply press a button on the telephone to make you hear whatever you like, almost everything and everywhere. Hopefully, there will be still lots of black holes in the world wide web in future. Features Fats Waller & His Rhythm, Count Basie Orchestra with Jimmy Rushing, The State Street Ramblers, Artie Shaw Orchestra with Helen Forrest, Sidney Bechet with Noble Sissle's Swingsters, Teddy Foster And His Kings Of Swing, Benny Goodman with Jack Teagarden, Woody Herman Orchestra, Llyod Smith's Gut-Bucketeers with Jabbo Smith, and Georgia Gibbs.
