Igor Wakhevitch - 'donc...'  More or less the complete works by this French avant-garde composer, here's part of a mouthwatering synopsis of this release: (from M. Gira) "A much desired 6CD retrospective boxset of the 70s electronic albums by legendary French composer Igor Wakhevitch. This reissues all of his major albums from the 70s: Logos(1970), Docteur Faust (1971), Hathor (1974), Les Fous D'Or (1975), Nagual (1977) & Let's Start (1979), all originally issued by Pathé-Marconi/EMI (except the 4th one, which came out on French Atlantic). These albums are all terribly difficult to come by for quite some some time and this box set will have a major impact in terms of re-introducing Wakevitch to the contemporary underground / experimental audience. Packaged in a small box, with fold-out poster depicting all the original covers & booklet of notes (all in French, unfortunately); limited to 500 sets" 6 CDs £47.99

Two new Lou Reed reissues for you: 'Take No Prisoners' never officially released on CD, but its a long-time favourite among Reed fans. (from  www.shorefire.com:) "Recorded at New York's Bottom Line in May 1978, as punk was beginning its ascent, the album finds Reed lashing out at his audience and the music business in a series of explosive monologues, set against a backdrop of his greatest hits. Reed names names, veering from digressions on Norman Mailer, his high-school athletic career, and the price of drugs during expansive and radically rearranged versions of hits such as "Walk on the Wild Side," "Sweet Jane," and "Coney Island Baby." 2 CD's £12.99, and, 'Transformer' "Produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, the album yielded classic tracks such as the now-standard "Walk on The Wild Side," the Warhol-inspired "Vicious," and "New York Telephone Conversation." Reissued with new liner notes from Michael Hill and previously unreleased bonus material including acoustic demo versions of "Hangin' Round" and "Perfect Day." £7.99

Herb Pedersen - 'Southwest' (notes from evangeline.co.uk) "Herb was born in Berkeley, California and formed his first band, The Pine Valley Boys, a bluegrass outfit in his teens. He moved to Nashville in 1961 and performed on Carl Tipton's Bluegrass TV Show and later joined Vern and Ray playing 5 string banjo and singing. In 1967 Earl Scruggs invited Herb to deputize while he (Earl) was recovering from a hip operation and in 1968, Herb replaced Doug Dillard in The Dillards. After leaving The Dillards in 1970, Herb became a session musician and worked with Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Linda Ronstadt and John Prine among others. In 1975 Herb joined Jackson Browne for a tour and the following year released his debut album, "Southwest" £10.99Two interesting slices of British quirkiness have just arrived on BGO: Dando Shaft: 'Dando Shaft'/'Lantaloon' "Dando Shaft began as a five-piece folk-band formed in Coventry in 1968 and comprised of Kevin Dempsey (acoustic guitar/vocals). Martin Jenkins (vocals, mandolin/fiddle/ guitar), Ted Kay (tabla/percussion), Roger Bullen (bass), and Dave Cooper (guitar/vocals). They initiated a unique mixture of acoustic folk with driving rhythms and impeccable inventive musicianship • In October 1970, Dando Shaft acquired the services of a female singer, Polly Bolton from Leamington Spa, who had previously sung with June Tabor. The first album, ‘An Evening With…’, was released in 1970 on the Youngblood label and gained a release in the US through the major MCA corporation. A change of label to RCA’s short-lived Progressive imprint Neon in 1971 for the second album, Dando Shaft, was followed by a release on RCA proper for the third, Lantaloon, in 1972 • While Dando Shaft remains a curious entry to the English psychedelic folk era, their music is curious but wonderful nonetheless" Tracks: 'Dando Shaft': 1. Coming Home To Me 2. Railway 3. Whispering Ned 4. Sometimes 5. River Boat 6. Kalyope Driver 7. Waves Upon The Ether 8. Dewet 9. Till The Morning Comes 10. Pass It On 11. Prayer Lantaloon: 1.
