Paul Weller 'Jawbone Available on Vinyl LP + CD Album

Signed Pre-order New In Vinyl Paul Weller 'Jawbone (Music From The Film)' Available on Vinyl LP + CD Album March 10 sees Paul Weller release his first ever soundtrack, to the forthcoming British movie, Jawbone. 'Jawbone: Music From The Film' is a collection quite unlike anything else from Paul Weller's extensive discography as you can hear on the album's sprawling 21-minute opener 'Jimmy / Blackout', an experimental sound collage which provides much of the film's score and underlying mood. 'Jimmy / Blackout' segues across a variety of different and often dissonant tones, its eclectic tapestry of sounds flourishes and fractures with choral vocal harmonies, bursts of droning guitar and the swirl of vintage synthesisers, but on track 2, 'The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe', we find Paul in more familiar territory with a beautiful acoustic song, which reflects the situation and emotional turmoil that's troubling Johnny Harris's lead character.

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.

A full list of participating record shops can be found here: www.recordstoreday.co.uk

Throughout 2014 Topic will be making monthly special offers from their website.

America's NPR claims “getting to listen to Thompson’s rich voice is well worth the wait”.
