New Record Pressing — Bob Azzam & The Great Expectation
New record pressing – Bob Azzam & The Great Expectation – Self Titled.
This 1969 oddity goes for big bucks if you can find it for a couple of obvious reasons. First, the drum break on the cover of Alvin Toussaint’s classic “Rain Rain (Go Away)” has become legend among crate diggers and samplers. The other is that the version of the Stones’ “The Last Time” is astonishingly psychedelic, a delirium of fuzz guitar, electric sitar, rumbling piano, and throbbing bass punctuated by soaring, Left Banke-esque vocal choruses. But, those highlights aside, this one-off album from Egyptian vocalist Wadie George “Bob” Azzam and his merry band of pranksters is a refreshingly eclectic and highly listenable affair leavened with a hint of electronic weirdness a la Lothar and the Hand People or Silver Apples. “Mon Amour” pays tribute to Azzam’s Middle Eastern roots with a jaunty Arabic melody, while he brings a Beatle-esque sensibility to the two Les Reed covers, “Mr. Lovin’ Luggage Man” and “One Little Packet of Cigarettes.” And “Berimbau” offers an unexpected outburst of Tropicalismo. In short, not just a rarity, but a record to appeal to anybody with a warped pop sensibility…and ain’t that all of us? Remastered and pressed in fire orange vinyl for its first reissue in any format!

New Record Pressing — Elegant Weapons
New record pressing – Elegant Weapons – Evolution.
This quartet of lifelong musicians — guitarist Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, MSG), bassist Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep), and drummer Christopher Williams (Accept) — have rallied around a collective vision. Together they’ve forged a signature style built on unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping hooks.
Featuring “Evil Eyes,” “Generation Me,” and the lead single “Bridges Burn,” Evolution finds Elegant Weapons delivering their most dynamic and powerful work yet.

New Record Pressing — Josaleigh Pollett
New record pressing – Josaleigh Pollett – If I Let It Quiet
Available courtesy of Audio Antihero and Lavender Vinyl.
Salt Lake City-based singer-songwriter Josaleigh Pollett (any/all pronouns) has announced their fourth full-length album, ‘If I Let It Quiet.’ Produced by long-time collaborator Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy), the record will be released July 24th via Audio Antihero (Frog / Tiberius / Avery Friedman / CIAO MALZ) and Lavender Vinyl on digital and vinyl. It will be preceded by May 19th’s “The Witness” single.
The work of Pollett and Watko has received a slow burn of recognition over the years. Following Pollett’s warm and rootsy solo debut ‘Strangers,’ the duo initially found acclaim together in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album. They reached a broader audience with 2023’s electronics-infused ‘In the Garden, By the Weeds,’ thanks to support from notable outlets, including NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, as well as awards and end-of-year lists.

New Record Pressing — Blue Ash
New record pressing – Blue Ash – Dinner at Mr. Billy’s.
During 1971 and 1972, the classic Blue Ash line-up of David Evans, Jim Kendzor, Bill “Cupid” Bartolin and Frank Secich played more than quite a bit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It seemed like we were playing “The Burgh” 4-5 nights a week. At the time, we had two booking agencies in Pittsburgh, Go Attractions (Rich Engler and Paul St. John) and Fly By Night Productions owned by Joe Riccelli. One time back then we were driving on Rt. 51 south of Pittsburgh to a gig in Clarion. Cupid looked out the window of the car and saw a big sign for a restaurant called “Mr Billy’s”. He said to all of us as he pointed to the sign, “If we ever get to make an album, we should call it “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s”. We all laughed. I thought it was a hilarious idea. Cupid and I even wrote a song right after that called “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s”, then we promptly forgot about the whole idea. While going through the vaults recently at Peppermint Productions, we found the tape of the song “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s” and in honor of Cupid, Mr. Billy has now finally made it out of oblivion and on to an album.
