"A trip through the productions of pioneering genius Joe Meek. Here we have a mix of hits that have appeared on comps before and real out-there obscurities. Designed to be highly listenable. Never a dull moment amongst these songs that cover subjects close to Joes' heart such as vampires, love (and the lack of it), death, outer space, the human soul, Buddy Holly, and more. Artists featured are The Blue Rondos, The Blue Men, Jason Eddie and the Centremen, The Sound Offs, The Moontrekkers, Johnny Leyton, The Cryin' Shames, Mike Berry, The Outlaws, Chick Lewis, Glenda Collins and even Joe himself warbling out a tune. One time very small pressing so please don't sleep."

"Originally released on Grapefruit records in an extremely limited edition, reissued here with new tracks. Marisa Anderson continues her streak of amazing solo guitar LPs. On first glance of the track listing you may feel like you've heard it all before -- classic folk songs and anthems -- but trust me, Marisa takes these tunes to places they have never been. The vibe is heavy on this one. The guitar playing is beautiful at points and intense at others. Not for the faint of heart. Comes with liner notes written by Marisa herself!"

Co-released by Raw Music International and Olvido Records."

2017 repress. "A compilation of Georgia bluesmen who play all in a style of their own. Truly great recordings made by George Mitchell between 1979-1981. Features the hypnotic sounds of John Lee Ziegler, the incredibly rockin' drum and guitar music of James Davis, the hair-stands-up-on-the-back-of-your-neck voice and guitar of William Robertson (also known as Cecil Barfield!), the unique Doaist playing of Jimmy Lee Williams and the ragged and beautiful music of Jim Bunkley. Really just the best blues music you could ever hope to hear. Another testament to the brilliant ear of George Mitchell, who traveled the south in search of the real stuff and found it. Old school 'tip on' cover."

Wayawaya, the intense Native American country music of Jenks 'Tex' Carman, the great Tex Mex of Lydia Mendoza, the heavy hypnotic Cajun sounds of Amede Ardion and Dennis McGee, the shimmeringly beautiful singing and playing of the Genial Hawaiians, the deep deep deep Rembetika of Marika Papagika, the soulful gospel of Blind Willie Davis, the sacred Indian sounds of T.R. Mahalingham and Khansahib Abdul Karim Khan, the early Jewish mysticism of Max Leibowitz, the dark Cuban rumbles of Sexteto Bologna and much more. Here we have a diverse cross section of the world's music - a unifying sound during divisive times. Old school 'tip on' cover."

"Steeped deep in the roots of garage rock, Peter's third solo record rolls out strong. Some dark and personal lyrics and some heavy vibes preside....but overall - it's rock and roll. Features musicians from all kinds of beloved bands and lineages. (Scott McCaughey, Bill Rieflin, Kurt Bloch, Chris Slusarenko, Kris Novoselic, Jeff Tweedy, Annalisa Tornfelt, Chloe Johnson, Kristin Tornfelt.....yep). Record comes in two different cover editions - both designed by none other than Mingering Mike - maybe the greatest album cover designer of all time! (the majority of his artwork was recently bought in whole by the Smithsonian). Comes with liner note insert."

"Lum Guffin has been called 'The Walking Victrola' -- a human depository of many musical styles and songs. This LP features great performances recorded in the early 1970's of Lum playing guitar and singing. His style is distinctive and beautiful. A true great of the blues genre who has been seldom heard. We are proud to present this beautiful limited edition of his material with a silk screened cover (4 different color variations have been made -- you will get a random selection when ordering). A co-release with the king of blues reissues label, Sutro Park."

"A truly unique Gospel stylist, Isaiah Owens plays guitar and sings in his own very distinctive and otherworldly way. Isaiah plays loud and with quite a bit of dissonance, his voice floating above beautifully. This LP features some of his finest performances, captured from his radio broadcasts in Montgomery Alabama and from studio recordings. We are very proud to present this material. Liner notes by Kevin Knutt (of the greatest radio show of all time, Sinners Crossroads, as well as the Case Quarter label)."

"Contemporary art rock band. A strange mix of minimalism, catchy pop music and damage. Sun Foot are a true underground band worthy of recognition. The drums suggest a drone and simplicity somewhere between Bo Diddley and Tibetan music. The angular guitar and bass are somehow easy to listen to and... dare I say... fun. This LP is a distillation of Sun Foot's song catalog -- a 'greatest hits' of sorts and nice introduction to their progressive world. Recorded and produced by none other than Joe Goldring (of The Enablers and producer of many San Francisco bands) at Coast Studios. Album cover designed with heavy art contribution by David King, designer of the iconic CRASS symbol. Ron Burns (formally of Smog, Hot Spit Dancers), Chris Johanson (visual artist, formerly of San Francisco's Deep Throats) and Brian Mumford (Dragging an Ox through Water, Jackie-O Motherfucker) make up Sun Foot. Co release with Awsome Vistas."

"Twelve great songs recorded by two of Cajun music's finest and most unusual artists: Blind Uncle Gaspard and Delma Lachney. All songs originally released on 78 in the late 1920s. Fragile and dignified performances with French vocals accompanied by guitar or fiddle, or sometimes both. Impeccable ballads and breakdowns. Old school 'tip on' cover."

"In 1969 Nancy Dupree was running an after school music program in Rochester, New York. She helped the kids in the program write songs that related to there own experiences and feelings. The results are presented on this LP, and they are really something else. There are black power anthems, odes to stealing candy, a beautiful tribute to James Brown and an even more beautiful tribute to Martin Luther King. Not a novelty record with kids being goofy but rather a heartfelt work of art. Nancy Dupree sensitively accompanies the kids singing on piano. A real classic. The cover is a faux Folkways style wrap around print on an old school 'tip on' jacket. Includes a liner note insert. A co-release with our friends Moi J'Connais."

"Dragging an Ox Through Water is Portland musician Brian Mumford - a beloved and legendary local talent. Brian plays a brand of music uniquely his own: a weird mix of rock-solid song writing with guitar accompaniment and music concrete. His voice is deep and heavy. Panic Sentry is a pretty melancholy record, but never with a dull moment. We at Mississippi Records are very proud of this LP and consider it a contemporary classic. Includes a liner note insert. A co-release with our friends Eggy Records."

Repressed! "By popular demand, a repress of Peter's debut solo LP. This version is the same as before but the track 'L.V.M.F' has been removed. First solo LP by none other than former REM guitarist Peter Buck. Believe it or not, released on vinyl only by Mississippi Records (no CD or download available anywhere), and it gets weirder. This LP was cut pure analogue -- straight from tape to disc. A real old fashioned freak out record filled with Stooges like crunchy guitar riffs, strange atmospheric sounds, far out dark lyrics, and some catchy pop hooks here and there. Peter and various friends you've probably heard of, gathered at Type Foundry Studio here in Portland and laid out this record fast and furious. A real madcap journey of a record put together with nothing but love and a sense of immediacy."
