The Woman's Yoga Book: Asana And Pranayama For All Phases of The Menstrual Cycle by Bobby Clennell

As 1968 drew to a close the golden age of girl groups had seemingly been and gone. The Shangri-Las, the Ronettes and the Chiffons hadn’t had a sniff of a hit record since 1966. Then along came the ominous ‘Condition Red’, a cleverly-produced psychodrama enacted by the Goodees, a trio of foxy teenagers from the roster of Stax Records’ small rock-oriented Hip offshoot. The group comprised childhood pals Sandra Jackson, Judy Williams and Kay Evans, all residents of the Sherwood Forest neighbourhood of East Memphis, Tennessee.The group’s previous single, ‘For A Little While’, penned and produced by Stax’s top songwriting duo Isaac Hayes and David Porter, was one of the last sessions to feature the original Bar-Kays, who perished alongside Otis Redding in that fateful plane crash in December 1967.

Solveig Slettahjell was one such artist welcomed back into ACT label's fold. The ACT label released her early albums, establishing her international reputation as one of Europe’s leading jazz vocalists. Here she was partnered up with In The Country, the piano trio involving her close friend Morton Qvenild, pianist, sonic explorer and also a member of Solveig Slettahjell‘s Slow Motion ensembles. The real surprise that evening, however, came from adding the blues guitarist Knut Reiersrud. He had been on Siggi Loch's radar for quite some time, and on this occasion was having his first ever meeting with Slettahjell and her crew. It turned out to be an ideal combination. The evening was a celebration of everything that had made the Nordic sound so attractive and successful for many decades. On the one hand there was the elegiac, bluesy side, inspired by the spirit of indigenous folk music; on the other the electronic, the rhythmically daring and the experimental.

Alternate Rarities 1-4 are a series of individual bootleg CD's by The Beatles. Originally released by Birthday Records, the credits on the cover state this is an "improved" version of the discs made by Blackhead Walrus in 2003. The rarities in this collection include songs where the versions were mixed or edited differently in other countries, a few of them significantly. It used to be where the only way you would be able to hear them is if you bought them individually via import. Most of them are transferred from vinyl but some may also come from reel-to-reel tape, cassette, or even 8-track for certain versions.
