WALL OF NEW.

1) The first big release this week is Phoebe Bridgers Lost Weekend. Limited Rogue Planet Vinyl. Hurry. While stocks last. First to see will buy. No time wasters etc etc

2,3 and 4 The Sundays LPs all get a reissue Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, Blind and the third one Static and Silence.

5) Our LP of the week The Womack Sisters. The daughters of Linda and Cecil Womack (that’s one of them as a baby on the cover of their LP Conscience) Grandaughters of Sam Cooke and nieces of Bobby Womack whose Across 110th Street gets an airing pretty much everytime there’s a Redruth Record Club*. Impeccable credentials On with their house band. Lovely.

6) Also exciting are the first two releases by sister label . Obscure (obvs) Malaysian Jazz from Alfonso Soliano with Toga Trombone release number two Johari Salleh with Jazz Dari Angkasapuri.

7) Ethiopian Music 1971 recorded by Ragner Johnson and Ralph Harrison.

😎 Gaudi Jazz gone Dub. It does what it says on the “tin” features Jah Wobble, Sly and Robbie, David Hinds and a host of others. A bloke came in yesterday who did the design on lots of Gaudi record sleeves. At least he said he did. He was just getting a train to London and then flying back to New Zealand, so i cant verify it. Although tbh if you are going to make something up before flying to NZ, id suggest making it a little more fanciful.

9) Jungle - Sunshine. Fifth Lp from Jungle on caramel colour vinyl.

What a line up. Currently playing a just in first press of Gene Clark’s ace No Other. Sleeve a bit battered, record sounds great. Maybe I’ll keep it.Ive only got one of those old fashioned CDs of it.

See you later. *News of the next RRC coming this weekend.

Morning,

It’s an exciting week for The Wall of New. Before The Wall of New though, these restocks of recently sold out LPs arrived yesterday.

First up Melodies International present Ariwa Sounds. Compilation from Mad Professor’s label/studio run with his son Joe Ariwa. Getting big props yesterday from Dr B and (ex) DJ O who were in the shop. Handy having a Dr in for an hour or two, most of the other customers took the opportunity to discuss various ailments, I now have a very basic knowledge of conjunctivitis, blood pressure meds, and predominant symptoms of the menopause. Maybe we’ll make it a regular event. What with that and my recent conversion to “miracle” gummies, we could have a kind of static Lucky’s Medicine Show. Anyway the double LP features Horace Andy, Sister Nancy, Ranking Ann and Queen Omega. Irie.

Staying on a reggae tip we have Elijah Minnelli (see what he did there) Clams as a Main Meal. Originally limited to 300 copies this “flew out” as shops say when they mean they sold 4 copies over a two week period. It’s been repressed and we’ve got a couple more. Check out Canaan Land featuring Dennis Bovell. I like clams. I might have clams for my tea served with roasted cod and samphire. Lovely.

The Rubáiyát of Dorothy Ashby. Dorothy plays the Koto on this as well as harp. I like this LP. Perfect for Friday night, late doors, perhaps a whisky sour night cap.

Donald Byrd’s Ethiopian Nights is a beaut. Everytime I play it in the shop I sell a copy. Kind of pre full blown Jazz Funk Byrd I think.

And finally 1619 Bad Ass Band. I’ve not heard this yet as all the copies I had last week sold. So I’ve got three more. Pictured are the ones I sold last week.

Honestly wait until I post this weeks actual new releases. What a time to be alive etc etc.

Got to run this flat bread dough won’t knead itself.

Open at ten.

Wall of New.

A quick run through today. No time to talk about what I had for breakfast. (I knocked up a quick shakshuka, ate outside, the scent of petrichor coming from my freshly wet porch, the stridulation nearly overpowering my new outside record player, photos soon)

First up we have Primal Scream Vanishing Point reissue with extras

Brand new LP from Arun Sood and Angeline Morrison Donn/Dubh

presents Awira Sounds. Mad Professor label comp.

Cannonball by Man/Woman/Chainsaw on limited colour

Jane Weaver 3 x reissues. All limited. 1st and 2nd LPs and a mini album.

Overmono Pure Devotion limited

Exciting weekend ahead, Tomorrow (Saturday) I’m going to be closing a bit early (3pm) to get off for a weekend of camping and disco partying in a field in a secret location for Liz () important birthday. Get in early doors for your records, coffee, and “lively” conversation.

The Wall of New 2.

I was a little hasty yesterday I posted TWON before I received a couple of deliveries. My mind just slipped away briefly. I even forgot The Eels reissue and the Whitney reissue (the band not the Dolly Parton covering Whitney) that were right in front of me. I like Eels, well I liked them, not really the first LP, but after that they hit a stride, until maybe ten years ago when they started knocking out the same LP every couple of years. It happens to them all. Name me a band who got better and better, whose later work was the best they produced. I’ll save you the trouble Talk Talk. The exception that proves the rule etc etc. anyway this is a decent Eels compilation. The Whitney LP is pretty good as well. Nice summer pop, blah blah mojito, a game of Perudo on the back porch, stridulation, petrichor, saudade. All my favourite words and a lovely glass of wine. Maybe some sumac chicken.

Anyway the main ones I forgot are the 1619 Bad Ass Band. Mid 70s funk and soul. Their only LP rereleased on Mr Bongo. Pictured is me holding the record high in the air. Weirdly.

And Charanjit Singh. Synthesising Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat. Indian Ragas wanged up with synths and drum machines. From 1982. It’s on LITA so a 20 page book, double LP, always sound great. Exciting.

Also 2 Thee Sacred Souls and Victor Axelrod 7s just arrived plus the stuff from yesterday. Only one Chronixx LP left and it’s sold out at distributor.

It’s market day in Redruth and Fairmeadow Carpark is free. That’s the one next to The Buttermarket.

Plus after months of lifts, buses and borrowing cars I have a new van. Last pic. Hooray.

Come and have a coffee, actually could you bring you own cup I’ve run out of card ones. See you later.

What’s new?

The Durutti Column are back with the first Lp for 15 years or something. We have the deluxe and the “normal” version

Leaf Hound reissue of their Growers Of Mushroom 70s stoner, proto metal, zeppy stuff. They can use that for the hype sticker if they want. Limited foil numbered.

The Chronixx LP is very good. The sound of Summer. I really like the acoustic stuff on here, and the 70s Lovers vibe. These are flying out, if flying out ever really happens in Redruth. They are selling like hot heavy cakes. We love heavy cake at Lucky’s. Better than saffron buns we say. The artisan baking lady made me heavy cake the other day. A rare treat.

Edit: I forgot the Whitney reissue of Light upon the Lake. Check it out. Saw them in Cornwall about 10
Years ago, singing drummer. Always a good thing.
Also Meet the Eels. Vol 1 of Eels compilation

We have a bunch of new in Jazz including this Don Cherry’s Organic Music. And a shout out to the Space:1999 soundtrack and the Monolake reissue.

Also a few decent new in second hand see story.

Mates, what an exciting week we have lined up for you. I had a very nice time in Liverpool and Cardiff and ended it seeing The Sugababes at Cardiff Castle with my kids and loads of their friends. It was banging. Hit after Hit, what a band, started with Freak like me, ended with Push the Button. I left before The Wombats came on. Don’t like them. Although as far as I’m aware I’ve never heard them. It’s a stupid name and it’s always best to base musical decisions on petty grievances.*

The reason I am here though is to say after MONTHS of waiting the Chronixx LP Exile has arrived. Originally due in March, maybe even earlier, in keeping with the brilliant Forever Living Originals business plan it arrives months later. Produced as everything is on F.L.O by Inflo. It’s the sound of the Summer. Probably. I haven’t played it yet. It’s going on the deck at 10.30, the sun will come out, the sky will light up the colour of eggnog and children will dance in the street.

Come and have a listen.

*I have heard them they have a song about Dancing to Joy Division. I rest my case.

Morning, How are you today? We had a lovely day yesterday for my youngest daughter’s graduation. We ended the day with delicious food, hake and saffron risotto, confit duck, braised ox cheek lasagne, gnocchi washed down with the finest wines known to man. (4th cheapest on wine list). It was great.

Which all means the Saturday Lad is running the shop all week. Here he is with The Shaggs Philosophy of the World reissue on . It’s not cheap but who wouldn’t want it. Hurry.

Next up is Monolake reissue Interstate. “A kaleidoscopic lattice of micro-rhythms and eight distinct ecosystems of sound.” It says on the press release. Go listen.

Next up is psychedelic disco influenced by old school Brazil. Looking forward to playing this when I’m back next week.

reissues on in. We have Ask me Tomorrow, Out of Tune and Excuses for Travellers. I took home a copy of Out of Tune last week to replace my lost CD it’s a lovely record. Perfect for summer evenings, sun setting, a negroni, crickets stridulating in the distance, a recent rain shower causing a beautiful petrichor.

The Smiths Best of part 2 and Part 2. Look, Morrissey is not a well person, he hasn’t made a decent record in donkeys years, but The Smiths, let’s not let him ruin these records.

New York Noise Dance Music from The New York Underground. Another Soul Jazz banger reissues.

I think that’s it, but I’ve done this from memory. I may have forgotten something. Go and visit today and tomorrow.

See you next week.

Good Morning,

I bought a pomegranate a few days ago. You know what I’ll do with that pomegranate, I thought, I’ll make a lovely lamb dish. A nice piece of lamb covered in spices, pomegranate molasses, and slow roasted. Delicious. I went to the shop, no molasses, no problem I’ll improvise, no lamb shoulders. I know what I’ll do I’ll get lamb mince, umm lovely. There was no lamb mince. I bought salmon. I made salmon with cumin, sumac and pomegranate. Lots of lemon and parsley. I’m afraid it didn’t really work. 7/10 only. Scroll for pic.

To reach said pic you have to scroll the wall of new and today we have…
