Topic's 75th Anniversary vinyl
Topic's 75th Anniversary vinyl
As part of Topic's 75th anniversary celebrations they are very proud to
release a series of strictly limited edition 7" vinyl EPs and singles. In
1939 the first release was a shellac 78rpm - ‘The Man That Waters The Workers’
Beer’ / ‘The Internationale’ - 75 years and many technological shifts later,
they are releasing a series of vinyl records to celebrate a continuing love
affair with a piece of plastic that is still the most exciting format on which
to listen to recorded music.
Topic have beautiful facsimile editions of the rare 1963
EPs from Shirley Collins and Anne Briggs:
Nic Jones makes his debut on 7" single with two tracks from
his classic Penguin Eggs album, and we still have a few copies of the Martin & Eliza Carthy - Happiness single:

Topic Records Ready For Record Store Day 2014
To celebrate Record Store Day on Saturday 19th Topic have
two limited edition vinyl releases. A 50th anniversary facsimile edition of ANNE
BRIGGS's seminal debut EP - The Hazards of Love and a brand new 7" single
from MARTIN & ELIZA CARTHY.
The Hazards of Love is a jewel in Topic’s extensive
catalogue, the influence of this record on myriad singers, songwriters and
performers is incalculable; on a visit to London, June Tabor was bought a copy
by her older sister: “She took me to Dobell’s and said she’d buy me a record. I
got that Anne Briggs EP, Hazards of Love… I was captivated by this woman’s
voice and what she did with it…”
Anne's EP became the calling card for one of the most influential figures in the English folk revival, with Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page, The Watersons and Sandy Denny all acknowledging that influence, and it continues years after its original release, with The Decemberists 2009 album title directly taken from the EP which inspired it.
Dad and daughter - Martin and Eliza Carthy - release The Moral of the Elephant their first duo album together on 2nd June. We have a limited edition picture sleeve single coupling two songs from the album.
Happiness is a graceful, timeless song written and originally recorded by Molly Drake, Nick Drake’s mother, and this is the very first time the song has been officially released by a major recording artist; Eliza Carthy has breathed new life into a beautiful song which deserves classic status.
Martin Carthy first recorded The Queen of Hearts for his very first album nearly 50 years ago, in 1965, the benchmark for folk singer-guitar players everywhere, and he revisits that song here with his daughter for a stately rendition that more than equals the quality of that first recording.
