The Selecter to release 'Celebrate The Bullet' Deluxe Edition Box Set on 11 November

 

Product description

The Selecters's second album, Celebrate The Bullet was released in February 1981 as the follow up to the successful 2 Tone debut album Too Much Pressure, along with the hit singles On My Radio, Three Minute Hero and Missing Words.

Switching labels to Chrysalis Records, the band returned to On My Radio producer Roger Lomas, moving into a more melodic slower pace, whilst keeping their lyrical commentary on racial and social issues. Original members Desmond Brown and Charley Anderson departed before the recording began, with Lomas and Norman Watt-Ray (Ian Dury) helping on bass before new members James Mackie and Adam Williams joined to complete the recording.

Due to unfortunate timing, upon release the title of this album was misunderstood due to the recent murder of John Lennon and an assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Regan meant radio stations didn't support the single or album and the release was largely ignored.

This forgotten classic from the 2 Tone era is a timely reissue and will give time for a re-evaluation in the same way the 2021's reissue of too Much Pressure showed the band as relevant.

Pauline Black, who was recently awarded an OBE in 2022, and the band will be touring in November 2022 and into 2023 performing the album in full along with selections of their previous album.

Format: a 3CD deluxe clamshell box set with 20 page booklet featring bands notes. Remastered by Alchemy Mastering At AIR from the original production tapes.

Foxton & Hastings new album, 'The Butterfly Effect', out now!

Product description

Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings team up once again to release their third album together 'The Butterfly Effect'. Serving as the lead single from the album, the addictive 'Lula' is described by Hastings as 'A catchy pop song about a spoilt woman who seemingly has everything yet has nothing'. This standout track succeeds in capturing a summer vibe, thanks in part to a blistering saxophone solo from Tony 'Rico' Richardson. This vigour is apparent also on 'Two Of Us', which Hastings labels 'a nod to Quadrophenia'. The 'sha-la-la' repeats and loud, ringing guitars instantly takes you back to a time of mods vs rockers and heady sunny days in Brighton. The duo both name The Beatles as a huge influence on their work - no more is this apparent on the lively closing track 'Anything You Want' with its bouncy rhythm and psychedelic ending. Recording the vocals for this track unknowingly with covid, Hastings' voice nevertheless shines and brings the album to a rousing end.

Ed Ball 3-CD Anthology 'It's Kinda Lonely Where I Am' out on Cherry Red Records now!

DESCRIPTION

• 3CD anthology of Edward Ball, a celebration of his work and the perfect introduction to Edward’s world, from the teenage DIY punk and power pop of ‘O’Level and Teenage Filmstars through the indie mod of The Times to Ball’s years at the Creation label.

• 61 tracks, cherry picked from his wonderfully wide-ranging musical journey.

• Highlights include The Times’ smashing 1981 debut single, ‘Red With Purple Flashes’, their 1982 fan favourite, ‘I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape’ inspired by cult TV series The Prisoner, the irresistible 1996 solo near-hit, ‘The Mill Hill Self Hate Club’ and the full 10:35 version of Love Corporation’s ‘Give Me Some Love’ with stunning production by Andy Weatherall from 1991.

• Plus a previously unreleased gem for the anthology, ‘Song To The Lighthouse’, an out- take from his soundtrack to the 2010 Carol Morley film The Edge.

Edward Ball has approved the box set and has contributed notes in collaboration with MOJO and Record Collector writer Lois Wilson.

The Whaam! label set up by Edward Ball with the Television Personalities’ Dan Treacy and Ball’s own Artpop! label were a direct inspiration for Alan McGee to set up Creation Records who signed Edward in 1988.

Brit Pop era solo albums saw Edward joined by musical friends such as Ride’s Andy Bell, Nick Heyward and members of The Boo Radleys while Ball’s dance and world music influenced project Love Corporation were remixed by Andy Weatherall, Danny Rampling and Monkey Mafia.

Ball also resurrected The Times and Teenage Filmstars monikers at Creation, under the former name Ball melded indie and dance music before Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadelica’, while with the latter he embraced psychedelic noise.
