and a very-limited lathe-cut import LP; WatchOut! Proof that Os
Mutantes and Popol Vuh had an elicit rendezvous in mid-70's Santiago.
This Chilean rock group blends krauty synth textures with a Tropical
style.Latin rhythms, fuzzy, wah-wah guitar leads, and intricate organ breaks
expertly fused.
Also arrived are the first three 7 inch single collaborations between Jack Whites THIRD MAN RECORDS and the legendary SUN RECORDS.
Rufus Thomas Jnr, Prisonaires and Johhny Cash all in beautiful repo sleeves on black vinyl.

Thursday opening times amendment
Our trial of opening every Thursday has so far been a worthwile excercise but its clear that there is little need for the late opening until 6pm.
So, from June 1st we are shifting the hours inline with existing opening times on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. That means the Thursday hours are now 10.30am till 4pm. We will review this at the end of September. All other opening times remain the same.

HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY by Walter Rizzati
Italian Splatter/Hammer Horror spectacular!
1000 only Coloured Vinyl!!!
The score uses a basic ensemble of piano, drums, synthesiser, electric bass and guitar, a line-up similar to the one established by Fabio Frizzi in his scores for Fulci. The signature sound of The House by the Cemetery is a heavily flanged electric guitar, which seems to twist and curdle in the air like decaying filaments of some malevolent odour seeping from the cellar of “that Freudstein house… that Freudstein house”. “Quella Villa”, which underscores the film’s opening scenes, is a Morricone-influenced piece for jagged rhythms, hammered into our nerves with syncopated drum and piano. It’s not the most subtle approach but this is a Lucio Fulci film after all, and besides, Rizzati also delivers some breathtakingly beautiful passages, reflecting the sadness that permeates so much of Fulci’s work, in particular the various incarnations of “Tema bambino” which underscore the parallel universe of pretty little dead girl Mae (Silvia Collatina). “Chi Sta Arrivando” glooms across the soundstage like a spectre snooping around a favourite hunting ground, while “Incontro” melds curdling guitar with a piano motif that sounds like something played by ghosts in the back room of a dusty antique shop. Of course the title music “I Remember” is the centrepiece, resonating with all that is marvellous in Fulci’s Gothic horror cinema. Like J.S. Bach scoring “The Hammer House of Horror”, it’s a gleefully macabre organ recital with phantasmal singers wordlessly flitting around the melody, the whole thing delivered with a slow pomp that suggests the funeral cortège of a deceased prog-rocker.
TWINS OF EVIL by Harry Robinson
LP AND CD
Spot varnish cover with Exclusive Cover art by Eelus.Comes with a giant 24 x 24 poster of the cover art.Includes sleevenotes by Hammer Historian Marcus Hearn & Eelus.
The first collaboration with the legendary Hammer Films sees Harry Robinsons score conducted by Phillip Martell appear on transparent blood red vinyl for initial orders only.This score mixes Hammer's usual melodramatic orchestral stylings
with a very cool spaghetti western feel that makes this a truly unique score in Hammers cannon.

Record Fair Feedback
Visitor feedback to new venue in Flint was very positive, but as always it's down to Dealers on any future events at St.Mary's...but would like to do it again if we get the thumbs up!
Over 250 through the door, which compares favourably with our old venue at the Pavilion in Flint. It's back to the shop on Wednesday with an early summer break from the Fairs until July 6th when we will be at the Scala in Prestatyn.
