Newsletter 32 (Jan 18th 2023)

A weekly update.

(January 18th)

'Leigh!'

Well, to start off this weeks newsletter, a big ol' announcement. As you may know, the goal this year was to move into a new/better space, and as you may have guessed, it will be down the East Lancs road (other roads are available) in Leigh. More specifically Spinners Mill, Leigh. A 15 minute drive from where currently situated in Walkden.

Really looking forward to it, please click here for a full update..

Once you've had a nosy at that, it's business as usual below. New National album announced today, along with the boygenius debut.

Out this Friday

50% jazz is the above, jazz january. Firstly though at the top left you will see The Murder Capital, not jazz. Part of the seemingly thriving scene over in Ireland, this is their 2nd album. Perhaps not as raucous this time round, but certainly more refined. London Odense Ensemble next with one of those mighty fine El Paraiso sleeves, everything on that label is always worth a buy just on the artwork. It's one to get lost in, listen to 'Reflective Shapes'. Ghost Woman, shimmering guitar riffs ready for weather that we currently seem a bit far of experiencing. Sun Ra, Art Blakey, jazzers you know the score. Lastly, Guided By Voices, on what must be their 100th album now.

Upcoming Releases - Selected Pre Orders

If you don't care for my curated selection, and just want to see it all right now, then click here.

Where to start... Loads chucked on the website since we last spoke. Very difficult to pick just a few, but that's what i've done below.

Think Sleaford Mods and Noel have insulted each other on the odd occasion? So made sense to stick these two next to each other.

Thats a good set of releases right there. Top left we have a jazz-funk, cinematic excursion out of 1973. Top right a 1979 release from Sweeden/Sveeden being reissued by Manchester reissue label 'Be With', a folk/jazz/acoustic excursion that is a must listen. Bottom left a collection of rare disco/funk 7" from the mid seventies. Bottom right Forest, described as a Mother Earth jamming with Tim Buckley kind of sound, a real rarity with 6 of the tracks previously unreleased.

A couple of big hitters to chuck into the mix.

A big one to finish things off this week. New from The National.
