Chicago Urban Blues 1923-1945 is a concentrated anthology of historic recordings by individuals with ties to communities all across the southern United States. This collection includes well chosen examples by pianists Meade "Lux" Lewis, Bob Robinson (of Hokum Boys fame), Roosevelt Sykes, Clarence "Pinetop" Smith, and Jimmy Yancey, who played on one of only two recordings known to have been made by vocalist Faber Smith. Amos Easton, also known as Bumble Bee Slim, was backed on the ivories by Myrtle Jenkins, who also made records with Priscilla Stewart, Mary Mack, and the State Street Swingers. There's enough female energy in here to settle anybody's business. You hear Ida Cox accompanied by pianist Lovie Austin; Bertha "Chippie" Hill by Richard M. Jones, and Hannah May, who might have been Victoria Spivey's sister Elton Spivey, with Georgia Tom Dorsey and Tampa Red. Lil Johnson sings "My Stove's in Good Condition" backed by pianist Black Bob and guitarist Big Bill Broonzy. "Squat It" comes from a large body of works generated by the team of Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. Sippie Wallace sings the "Bedroom Blues," and her little brother Hersal Thomas performs his own "Suitcase Blues," which became a staple of the piano blues repertoire and received its best reinterpretation on a 1939 Blue Note recording by Albert Ammons.

Four CD set. An anthology of George Martin's sound productions before the advent of the Beatles; before the collaboration that would change popular music forever. He re-defined the role of producer; pioneering the recording itself as an art form. This edition is testament to a elegant, fearless musical innovator. The surrealistic, sometimes free-form recordings he created with comic geniuses Sellers, Milligan, Cribbins and Ustinov involved sound effects and collage. These madcap sonic adventures, allied to his understanding of the workings of an orchestra, his contacts within the classical fraternity, his love of the romantic and impressionist composers, and his fascination with studio experimentation made George Martin uniquely able to provide a particular objectivity and realise what the ever-curious Beatles, or any artist, would ask of him. As head of Parlophone, determined to explode the label onto the scene, he sought artists of character; taking mobile recording units out to capture Flanders And Swann's two-man show and the irreverent satirical revue, Beyond The Fringe. The Top Five was breached in 1960 both by Matt Monro and by Peter Sellers And Sophia Loren. George Martin's first UK Number One single, and an exemplar, was 'You're Driving Me Crazy' by The Temperance Seven who combined a revival of popular music from the 20s with styles from the Edwardian era.

A feisty 4CD clamshell box set exploring the melting pot of British indie dance music that shook the lager drenched dancefloors in the second half of the 1990s. A supersonic soundclash of iconic electronic outfits like The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Leftfield, Death In Vegas, Moloko, Orbital and Bentley Rhythm Ace, alongside floor-fillers from indie titans like Blur, Shed Seven, Charlatans, Super Furry Animals, Supergrass, Tricky, Sleeper, Gomez, Radiohead and Cornershop. Over four hours of party tunes and afters grooves, packed with punchy remixes from Chemical Brothers, Arthur Baker, Norman Cook, Midfield General, Mint Royale and Lynch Mob. As Britpop exploded across UK culture, Cool Britannia ruled the airwaves and was plastered across the pages of magazines and newspapers. Music festivals were making their great comeback and DJs and dance acts were sharing stages and headline slots with the biggest guitar bands around. This compilation takes a slippery trip through the hedonistic tunes that were filling the dancefloors, fields, front rooms and bedrooms across Great Britain as the country drank, danced and partied towards a new millennium. Featuring over 50 cuts across 4CDs bouncing from Britpop to Trip Hop and bopping from Big Beat to Techno with a superb selection of relentless remixes, chart-topers and chilled beats thrown in for good measure.

NOW Music is very proud to present the second of our ‘Now That’s What I Call An Era’ releases. ‘The Albums 1980 > 1984’ celebrates 72 iconic albums that were released between 1980 and 1984, featuring a magnificent track from each - and none of them UK hit singles! Most of the albums being highlighted produced huge hit singles that have become both synonymous with the decade and enduringly popular – but these albums are of such a high quality – forever part of the artist’s legacy - that other tracks could have equally become hits – and some have become as well-loved by fans as the singles, and have for many artists always been an established part of their live shows.

Im Sommer des Jahres 1969, inmitten der Unruhen der 60iger Jahre, rief Eckart Rahn, damals gerade mal 25 Jahre jung, das Label Kuckuck Schallplatten ins Leben. In erster Linie gründete er es, um der damaligen Vorherrschaft von anglo-amerikanischem Rock einerseits und dem deutschspracheigen Schlager, der die Charts in Deutschland beherrschte, etwas Drittes hinzuzufügen. Mit Kuckuck Schallplatten leistete Rahn Pionierarbeit in Sachen Krautrock und führte der hiesigen Szene auch das Potential ihrer viel versprechenden Bands vor Augen. Dreh- und Angelpunkt war dabei das Münchner Szeneviertel Schwabing. Auf dieser Zusammenstellung ist Musik zu hören, die mit witzigen, frechen aber auch hochpolitischen und vor allem oft deutschen Texten versehen, sich musikalisch eng am Vorbild des internationalen Rock orientierte und die doch dazu im Stande war, etwas ganz Eigenes zu artikulieren.
