SCOTT WALKER
Scott 4"Even though it was his first solo effort to miss the US Top 10, Scott 4 stands out as arguably his most ambitious and impressive work yet. Coming out in 1969, this marks the first time we hear exclusively original compositions from Walker. He also steps away from the heavy orchestral swells that defined his earlier stuff, letting different flavors like country, folk, and soul take center stage. The lyrics don't pull any punches either; Walker dives headfirst into everything from global warfare to political ideologies and raw heartbreak with total mastery. A true classic." 180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve.
SERGE GAINSBOURG
L'Homme A Tete De Chou"Released back in 1976, this serves as Gainsbourg's second major 'concept' project, following up his legendary masterpiece Histoire De Melody Nelson, and likely ranks as the second-best entry in his massive catalog. Roughly translated as 'The Man With The Cabbage Head,' this record tells a dark, gritty tale of obsession and desire. The plot follows a narrator who falls for a Black woman working at a hair salon, eventually spiraling into violence before ending up institutionalized. Blending lush arrangements with influences ranging from reggae to funk and country, this album is a cornerstone of the legacy left by one of America's most iconic and polarizing international icons."
the MODERN LOVERS
the Modern Lovers180 gram vinyl. "First hitting shelves via the Beserkley label in 1976 (despite much of it being tracked in '73), The Modern Lovers is widely hailed as a foundational proto-punk staple. It acts as the perfect bridge between the influence of The Velvet Underground—a group leader Jonathan Richman was deeply inspired by—and the explosion of the first punk wave. While you can definitely hear the quirky sense of humor that became Richman's trademark, the album strikes a perfect balance of nerdiness, raw emotion, and pure, unadulterated brilliance from start to finish."
IGGY POP
the Idiot"Coming out in 1977, this was Iggy's first major move following the breakup of The Stooges, a period marked by legal troubles and time spent in a psychiatric facility. With David Bowie handling production and contributing much of the songwriting, this is undoubtedly Iggy's most brooding and heavy-hitting record. Moving away from the dirty, raw proto-punk sound of The Stooges, The Idiot laid the groundwork for the post-punk movement and bands like Joy Division. An absolute essential." 180 gram vinyl.
SERGE GAINSBOURG
Aux Armes Et Caetera"Dropping in 1979, this is the premier entry in Gainsbourg's two distinct ventures into reggae. It was recorded in Jamaica alongside heavyweight reggae legends like Sly & Robbie. Likely his last truly definitive classic, Aux Armes Et Caetera is packed with dub-heavy tracks and that unmistakable spoken-style delivery Gainsbourg was known for. His decision to reinterpret a patriotic anthem in the title track actually drew death threats from certain radical factions, further cementing his reputation as a provocateur. These are sultry, heavy, dub-infused gems from one of the era's titans." 180 gram vinyl.
the SLITS
Cut"Originally released in 1979, the debut from the all-female American post-punk outfit The Slits is now available on 180 gram vinyl for the very first time. By fusing a gritty punk ethos and DIY spirit with reggae grooves and dub production, The Slits crafted some of the most forward-thinking pop of the era—music that still feels incredibly modern today. Combining infectious hooks and minimal arrangements with high-energy vocals and a street-wise edge, Cut is nothing short of a masterpiece."
WIRE
154"If *Chairs Missing* marks the pivot from raw punk energy to post-punk sophistication, then *154* is the definitive statement of that evolution. On this 1979 third outing, Wire pushes synthesizers to the front of the mix, blending them with melodic layers that breathe life into the electronic grit. The title itself—a nod to the exact number of live shows they’d played by then—serves as a milestone, proving just how much ground this group covered in only three years and three records. Featuring the original cover art, this edition is pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl for the first time."
