Double CD version of Ginger Wildheart’s Birthday Bash 2018 show, including an incredible rendition of The Wildhearts’ classic ‘Mondo Akimbo A-Go-Go’ EP, with Bam on drums!

2022 release from this band fronted by Wildhearts frontman Ginger Wildheart. The band was formed in August 2019 when Ginger joined forces with Neil Ivison and Nick Lyndon from the band Stone Mountain Sinners. The line up was completed with drummer Shane Dixon (Tri-City Fanfare). The album was recorded at Mwnci studios in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with Dave Draper producing.

Albion is Ginger Wildhearts latest venture with the fan funded Pledge Music system, building upon the huge success of the 555%, Mutation and Hey! Hello! projects, and what a monster of an album it is. Albion has been recorded primarily by the lineup that Ginger put together for the live shows to support the 555% albums, hence the Ginger Wildheart Band monica and what a line up it is featuring the talents of Ginger Wildheart (The Wildhearts / Mutation / Solo / Hey! (Ginger Wildheart Band / The Loyalties / Bassknives / Michael Monroe Band), Victoria Liedtke (Ginger Wildheart Band / Hey! Hello!).

Let Ginger explain: “This album is a collection of sonic scraps scattered through the years that never found a home on an album. Demo recordings, one-off tracks, Record Store Day releases, album cast offs and unreleased gems. It’s warming to know that this oddball gathering of miscreants now have a home.

CD of Ginger’s brand new solo album, The Pessimist’s Companion, the follow-up to “Ghost In The Tanglewood”.

Fresh from the Record Store Day 2020 release, we are pleased to be making ‘Excess GASS’ available on CD and a picture disc vinyl exclusive to the Round Records store. These songs are the final selection from the much-loved G·A·S·S· project and will complete the trilogy alongside previous releases ‘Year Of The Fanclub’ and ‘G·A·S·S· Mark II’. Once again, Mr Dave Draper has put his magic touch on the original songs and fully remastered them. Cover design by Doodles ‘n’ Drips whom created the back of the bunny head especially for this release.

For a change, the late 1960s yielded up a supergroup that lived up to its hype and then some. Ginger Baker's Air Force was recorded live at Royal Albert Hall in January of 1970 - in fact, this may be the best-sounding live album ever to come out of that notoriously difficult venue - at a show that must have been a wonder to watch, as the ten-piece band blazed away in sheets of sound, projected delicate flute parts behind multi-layered African percussion, or built their songs up Bolero-like, out of rhythms from a single instrument into huge jazz-cum-R&B crescendos. Considering that this was only their second gig, the group sounds astonishingly tight, which greatly reduces the level of self-indulgence that one would expect to find on an album where five of the seven tracks run in excess of ten minutes…

Persuaded by Laswell to continue working throughout the second half of 1980s, drummer Ginger Baker produced some of his most stimulating collections, not least of which were the Laswell produced Middle Passage and this 1986 set. The drummer is rock-solid throughout, which means that most of the compositions become a showcase for an impressive lineup of guest musicians that reads like a list of the Bill Laswell all-stars. Even when pared down to an all-rhythm trio on "Mountain Time," Baker, though undeniably effective, remains the big beat behind Daniel Ponce and Aiyb Dieng's percussion display.
