Pressing News
The product of decades of painstaking collecting and research, Pressing News reproduces 125 original British pop music press releases from 1962 to 1972, accompanied by a wealth of other promo items and supporting imagery from music magazines, the underground press and local and national newspapers.
Pressing News is a deluxe limited edition large-format hardback, quarter-bound in cloth and containing over 400 full-colour pages.
LABYRINTH
The massive Labyrinth celebrates over three hundred British jazz albums released between 1960 and 1975, offering background details, excerpts from original reviews, and high-quality images that reproduce their artwork and labels at near-full size, as well as an introduction by Tony Reeves (Mike Taylor Quartet, New Jazz Orchestra, Colosseum).
Covering trad jazz, mainstream jazz, abstract jazz, avant-garde jazz, serial jazz, free jazz, Indo-jazz, jazz-rock and more, it tells a story Britain should be proud of: open-minded and creative musicians pushing the boundaries of their art in the face of penury and indifference, and welcoming influences from a range of cultures via immigrant musicians such as Joe Harriott (Jamaica), Amancio D’Silva (India), Guy Warren (Ghana) and Harry Beckett (Barbados).
Labyrinth is sold out.
