The Martini Kings only vinyl album, Palm Springs Serenade  has been repressed on transparent red 180 gram vinyl! This will be the final run of this album, once these 500 LPs are gone the title will be deleted so grab now!

Purchase from Dionysus Mail Order at this link

Palm Springs Serenade is a vinyl compilation of the group’s favorite tracks from numerous The Martini Kings CDs, and features a guest appearance by Buddy Greco. The cover is illustrated by SHAG, with liner notes by Cocktail Nation’s Koop Kooper, printed on a thick, old-style LP jacket called “tip-on” which consists of slicks glued on board.  The LP was cut on a vintage Scully lathe using a classic Westrex 3D cutter head. The album is packaged in a poly sleeve and includes a free digital download code. The first pressings of this LP were 400 black 180 gram vinyl and 100 clear vinyl.

The Martini Kings will be performing at Don the Beachcomber on Friday, November 7 with the Hukilau Hot Shots and DJ Senior Amor!

The first pressing of Creepxotica’s “Haunted Bossa Nova” LP has sold out, we’ve pressed a second run on transparent green vinyl – with digital download code, of course! Purchase your copy from Dionysus Records at this link – or from the band at their shows – or from your favorite record shop or mail-order service and if they don’t have it tell ’em to order it from ILD, Independent Label Distribution!

V/A: Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 LP

The person who compiled the album PROMISES this to be the final volume of the Swinging Mademoiselle series, of which the last volume was issued 10 years ago. This LP is also a companion to Girls in the Garage Volume 12 which is available for purchase here.

Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 contains fabulous French female garage, psych, freakbeat and pop tracks (some from Belguim and Switzerland) recorded  between 1963 to 1972 though most fall in to the ’65 – ’68 time frame, all from vinyl singles, in superb sound quality with a fully annotated (in French and English) and illustrated insert.

This volume features Valery, Michele, Dorine, Arlette Zola, Dyanna, Gilels et Dominique, Josiane Rey, Marie Claire Courcel, Nicole Josy, Patricia, Monica Berg, Francine Sarall, Christine Moncenis, Groupie, Elsa Laurent, and Martine Ledug.

Please be advised that even with careful shipping from France, the sealed album jackets have a small ding in one corner. Not bad enough that it should sway you away from purchasing the record but noticeable enough to where we wanted to tell you about it.

For all our friends that didn’t catch the live streaming of the Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited LP cutting session at History of Recorded Sound (HRS) last Thursday – here’s a couple of short videos of the first and last track on side two of “The Fluid Soundbox” being cut along with detail of scribing the catalog number and a couple of thank you’s in the “dead wax” area of the record.  Enjoy!
