More than any other 60s music biography Joe Boyd's 'White Bicycles' offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time. When the summer of love got going, Joe was running the coolest club in London, the UFO; when a bunch of club regulars called Pink Floyd recorded their first single, Joe was the producer; when a young songwriter named Nick Drake wanted to give his demo tape to someone, he chose Joe Boyd. This unique CD gathers together the full range of production work undertaken by Joe Boyd and his Witchseason production company, including several rare and previously unreleased recordings. Recordings have been licensed from all the major record labels. White Bicycles is released with full approval and co-operation from Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Eric Clapton and the Nick Drake Estate; as well as EMI, Universal, Warners, Topic and Sony BMG. Carefully remastered. Cover artwork by Nigel Weymouth. Deluxe digipac with full-colour large format booklet. Extensive sleevenotes by Joe Boyd. Previously unpublished photographs and rare ephemera. "This CD is a magical and insighftful overview of music making in late 1960s London in one discrete package."

The award-winning singer, songwriter and social activist Queen Ifrica returns with her new studio album Climb. Her exacting lyrics and strong female voice have earned her the nick name “Fyah Muma.” Her new album speaks to a mother’s concerns for the family: communication, peace, justice, truth and love. The lyrical crusader calls for global change on the album and rallies comrades like Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on the opening hip-hop tinged track ”Truvosation.” The album covers the subjects of police brutality in the black community and on the song Black Woman she implores young ladies to know their worth and not be swayed by objectifying trends in popular culture. This is message music from a veteran performer, livicated servant. Her sound is unmistakable and the lyrics stay with you. “These songs come to me as I am watching the world; I see myself as a social worker that uses music as my tool, because music is the greatest weapon to impact societal change, to help young people to understand themselves.” Ifrica says.
