The Bimbo Has More Brains

Exclusive limited-edition reissue with paper-sleeve and SHM-CD – celebrating the 50th anniversary of this landmark release. This iconic rock collection is a must-have release by the ‘World’s greatest rock and roll band’. Originally released in 1972, this indispensable 25-track, collection features Not Fade Away, It’s All Over Now, The Last Time, Lady Jane, Dandelion, She’s a Rainbow, Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?, Out of Time, Tell Me, and We Love You. The rarities include their 1963 debut single Come On, early R&B covers of Fortune Teller and Bye Bye Johnnie, great slide guitar on Muddy Waters’ I Can’t Be Satisfied, (recorded at Chess Studios and in stereo here) and the soulful 1966 U.K. B-side Long Long While. Also included is the stereo version of the psychedelic non-LP B-side Child Of The Moon, previous to the 1972 release, which was only heard in mono.

Be Glad for the Song Has No Ending is the eighth album by the Scottish psychedelic folk group, the Incredible String Band, featuring Mike Heron, Robin Williamson, Licorice McKechnie and Rose Simpson. It is the soundtrack for a film of the same name, and was released on Island Records in March 1971, failing to chart in either the UK or US. It would be the first album from the band on the Island label, and the last to feature Joe Boyd as the producer. Recording of the album and soundtrack came during a transitional period for the band. Tracks were completed during Wee Tam and the Big Huge and I Looked Up sessions. As a result, the girlfriends Licorice McKechnie and Rose Simpson are more involved in some tracks in comparison to others.

Accomplished singer-songwriter Andrew McMahon continues his solo work for his project Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness with the introspective album ’Tilt At The Wind No More’, teaming up with trusted collaborators and producers Tommy English (K.Flay, X Ambassadors) & Jeremy Hatcher (Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes) on the album.

Weighing in at 19 tracks, Repertoire's 2005 collection Ayla: The Best of Flash and the Pan is the most generous compilation yet assembled of Harry Vanda and George Young's impish post-Easybeats new wave creation, Flash and the Pan. Not only is it four tracks longer than the previous best F&P comp, 1994's plainly titled Collection, but it's more carefully assembled too, boasting good liner notes from Chris Welch and eye-catching comic book artwork. If F&P didn't have any other song as immediate or memorable as "Hey St. Peter," their gloriously ridiculous new wave novelty, they did have a number of good oddities and robotic new wave pop before sinking into coldly slick anthemic pop at the end of the decade.

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman, tempering his macho showmanship with a detached, campy irony while Keith Richards and Brian Jones wrote the blueprint for sinewy, interlocking rhythm guitars.quote]
