Czech Up Vol.1 LP (I'm sure there will be / is a CD edition as well)


First volume of Vampisoul's new series "Czech Up!", which compiles 60s and 70s gems from the vaults of the Supraphon and Panton labels from the former Czechoslovakia. Freakbeat, fuzz-soul, pop, jazz-funk, garage rock, psych… all that and more is contained within these 25 tracks, wonderfully produced and now carefully remastered, many of them never reissued before. Includes detailed liner notes by Lukáš Machata"Czech Up! Vol 1" highlights a collection of tracks that were originally released in Czechoslovakia between 1966 and 1978 on the Supraphon and Panton labels. Several psychedelic freakbeat favourites were chosen by Vampisoul's Iñigo Munster, whereas the regular associate and expert on Czechoslovak music, Lukáš Machata of the "Funky Czech-in" website at blog.loukash.com, has selected a variety of grooving soul, jazz and pop nuggets. Lukáš Machata - a longtime sound engineer and graphic designer - is also responsible for the carefully processed digital remasters and for the retro-style cover artwork.And so the compilation's huge range goes from the never reissued fuzz-soul of Komety and the lush downtempo disco by Bezinky, to the Afro-influenced pop hit of Eva Pilarová and the fierce Jazz Cellula funk, over to Gondolán Brothers' Gypsy beat introducing Jitka Zelenková, to the frantic garage rock with Blue Eect, Flamengo and George & Beatovens, through to schlager music star Karel Gott's atypical R&B outing and to Mahagon's hypnotic fusion jazz-funk, up to the arousing 'Barbarella' interpretation by the incomparable idol Waldemar Matuška. We're commemorating well known classics by the Golden Kids supergroup comprising Václav Neckár, Marta Kubišová and Helena Vondrácková, by the accomplished vocal acrobat Karel Cernoch with his Stevie Wonder cover version, or by Michal Prokop's confidently soulful Framus Five combo. We've dug out undeservedly neglected bijoux by the graceful Helena Blehárová with the Gustav Brom Orchestra, the almost avant-gardist Petr & Jan Spálený from Apollobeat, the ex-Matadors shouter Viktor Sodoma, the sympathetic Pavel Novák & his Vox group, the trumpet virtuoso Václav Týfa with Josef Vobruba's all-star jazz-rock ensemble Konstelace, the studio group Discobolos, the extravagant Josef Laufer & Their Majesties, by the enigmatic Bluesmen, and by jazzman Karel Ružicka with the Ferdinand Havlík Orchestra. Last but not least, we're also presenting teaser tracks from our upcoming retrospective albums by the funky Flamingo group featuring Petr Nemec with "lady soul" Marie Rottrová, and by the psychedelic pop band Atlantis fronted by the siblings Hana & Petr Ulrych.We have grooves you can dance to, songs you can chill to, breaks you can rap to, or simply 25 tracks you should listen to. So… czech up, and get down!



Beatfreak: rare and obscure British beat 1964-68 CD (Particles)

From the minds behind Piccadilly Sunshine, Mixed Up Minds, Upside Down, Electric Sound Show and Cornflake Zoo, Beatfreak is the pre-cursory journey through the glorious cultural dustbin where beat up pop meets paisley R&B. Prestigious guests include London heavies The Habits, the busker of Baker Street; Gerry Rafferty, a pre-Fleur de Lys’ Pete Sears and Tago Byers and a forgotten Bee Gee. An Intoxicating marriage of fuzz and flute delivered with disgraceful adolescent abandon. Beware, it is not pretty.

Particles proudly presents a sonic showdown of rare and obscure British beat pop pleasures delivered with a whiff of paisley R&B. Professionally re-mastered original sound recordings with background liners and rare archival photos.


Folklore CD (Particles)(1965-73)

Particles presents a glorious insight into an invaluable part of the British 1960s underground. Folklore has combined a collection of ultimately rare British folk music from the 1960s and early 1970s to bring you a feast of earthly delights. Professionally re-mastered original sound recordings with background liners and rare archival photos.
