First edition featured a paste-on think cardboard jacket (Folkways style). Includes insert with reproduced Dolceola advertisement. Cover woodcut by Icky Design. Phillips was a pioneering gospel performer in the 1920s. Born in Texas in 1880, his entire musical catalogue consists of 18 or so unique performances (12 selected here). Recorded between 1927 and 1929, these tracks feature Phillips self-accompanied by an instrument that sounds like a fretless zither. This instrument, which has been variously identified as a Dolceola, a Celestophone, and a Phonoharp (and also is considered by some to be an instrument entirely home-made by Phillips) creates a unique sound that is immediately charming and intriguing.

Bobby Hutcherson — Rosewood

Otherworldly instrumentation and beautiful vocal harmonies make this a really entrancing listen. Floating in air electric guitar is met with crude sax and a plethora of shaker percussion and African drums. Vocals soar and dip back and forth in refrain. A youthful mélange of Afro-beat styles, Free Jazz, and traditional African folk rhythms.

“Kayes, the principal place of the First District, is the hyphen between Mali and her other partners in the O.E.R.S. This privileged geographical position alone might have explained the richness and the variety of the cultural heritage of the region…It is therefore not surprising that the young Orchestra of Kayes has attempted to find the inspiration and rhythm that reconcile a legendary past and a present of action and expectation.”

October 2009 Reissue of the Arhoolie LP originally titled Fred McDowell, Vol. 2.

A passionate, fairly wild off the cuff recording from Bahaman folk guitarist and spirited singer/howler/grunter/one-of-a-kind performer Joseph Spence! Good Morning Mr Walker was recorded one Spring day in 1971, except for the last three tunes, which are concert recordings from later that evening. Spence emotes over his plaintive acoustic picking and playful strumming, but his vocals are really something else -- and wholly loveable. Titles include "Out On The Rolling Sea", "I See Mary And Joseph", "I See Mary And Joseph", "Lay Down My Brother", "Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer", "Don't Let Nobody Burn Down Burma Road", "Be A Friend To Jesus" and "Mary Ann". (Comes in a cool paste on art sleeve, sort of in the style of old Folkways LPs!)

Reissue of the 1979 Bandy LP of the same title (Bandy 700003). Released 2008 and limited to 2000 copies. Split issue with New Orleans-based Change Records with a joint catalog number. "Change Records N.O., La." appears on back cover. No catalog number and no indications on cover or label that this is a Mississippi Records release, however "MR-21/C-01" appears in the dead wax. Features the earlier work by Ms. Thomas including some of the best tracks from her initial years on the Crescent City soul scene. Most of the numbers were written by Aaron Neville. Thomas initially began recording on the Minit label, working with songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint on songs including "It's Raining" and "Ruler Of My Heart," which was later reinterpreted by Otis Redding as "Pain In My Heart." Imperial Records acquired Minit in 1963, and a string of successful releases followed. These included "I Wish Someone Would Care" (her biggest national hit), and its B-side "Break-a-Way" (later covered by Tracey Ullman, among others). This is a fantastic collection of all of Irma's early singles for the Minit and Imperial labels. Although a compelling and talented singer dubbed "The Soul Queen of New Orleans," she never received the notoriety of contemporaries like Etta James and Aretha Franklin.

Released 2008. Cover art by Robin Carbo. Mastering by Tim Stollenwerk. Completely original Mississippi Delta blues singer, guitarist, and piano player. Twelve songs remastered from his first recording sessions in Grafton, WI, for Paramount. Quite simply some of the most important pre-war blues recordings ever made.

Reissue of the 1968 Zulu Record Co. LP. Released March 2007. Mastered by Tim Stollenwerk. Nicely-packaged replica album features gatefold cover with archival photos and liner notes. An early member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Cohran went on to record and self-release this LP in 1968, originally in an edition of 1000. Cohran, a personal friend of Malcolm X, created this concept album retelling the story of Malcolm's political and spiritual journey from a little boy ("Malcolm Little") to his later life pilgrimage to Mecca ("El Hajj Malik El Shabazz"). Features a tight groove-oriented band (which later evolved into the Pharaohs and then Earth, Wind, & Fire) who explore soul, jazz, and Middle Eastern rhythms. A radical and intense recording. This is a live performance recorded on February 25, 1968, at the Afro-Arts Theater, a cultural center in Chicago operated by Cohran from 1967-1970. "The personnel and instrumentation are almost identical to Cohran’s ‘On the Beach’ session. This historic concert was originally an LP issued on Cohran’s Zulu label. Original copies of that record are very rare collector’s items and sell for hundreds of dollars. Kelan Phil Cohran is an unsung hero of jazz history and a cosmic treasure. He played with Sun Ra in the late 1950s and early ‘60s and was a co-founder of the world famous AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians)."

Personnel: Arranged and composed by Philip Cohran; Louis Satterfield (bass); Master Henry Gibson (congas); Philip Cohran (cornet); Bob Crowder (drums); Pete Cosey (guitar); Charles Handy (horns); Charles James Williams (alto sax); Donald Myrick (bari sax); Eugene Easton (tenor sax); Willie Woods (trombone); Charles Handy (trumpet, Chinese musette); Aaron Dodd (tuba); Ella Pearl Jackson (vocals)

Released March 2009, in conjunction with Brandie Records. One-man band singer/songwriter of soulful folk and R&B. Excellent remastering by Tim Stollenwerk (from original source tapes?). Some copies of this LP include a press photo of Abner, transcriptions of spoken song introductions omitted from the album, a reproduction of a brochure from the Stephen Foster Museum Center, and a press statement/biography penned by Abner himself. The archivist is Jay Martin. Art restoration and formatting by Justin Cronin. This is the first vinyl release of his material since the 1970s. "The approach here was to focus on the songs, and cut out the monologs which normally take up a bunch of space on an Abner Jay record (though actually the spoken intros are transcribed & included as an insert to this LP). [...] Still there’s enough of the Abner Jay banter to get the flavor, and the monologs are sort of intrinsic in several songs. There a few cuts shared between this and the Subliminal Sounds CD comp of a few years back (the only other Abner Jay album you’ll be likely to find), but mostly different tracks. A couple tracks with a full band -- still pretty minimal, but more than the one-man band setup normal for Abner Jay. These tracks are a little surprising -- old school country ballads sounding almost in the vein of like Eddy Arnold or Marty Robbins. But mostly it’s Abner on his six string electric banjo (sonically, its basically a guitar with a nice, sharp attack) with vox & harmonica, kicking out time on a bass drum & high hat, in a style maybe closer to something like Leadbelly -- not exactly blues, typically --I guess technically these would be considered folk ballads, but coming out of a dark, rural funk - deep, deep south. Drugs, depression, women, fishing, Vietnam -- Abner Jay tends to weigh in on themes like these. Jay loved to go off on his background, playing & singing since he was a kid sharecropping on Georgia plantations (c. 1930s), and this stuff is ancient, in form if not content, but I guess most of these tracks were recorded in the ‘60s or ‘70’s, while Jay was an entertainer in Atlanta bars. This stuff is the real deal, & as I’ve said before, one of a kind. No less than four inserts: a bio -- repro of Abner Jay’s self penned onesheet, looks like -- a nice looking promo photo, a little pamphlet advert from when Abner was playing the Steven Foster Museum Center in White Springs, FL, and the aforementioned transcription of the excised monologs. Incredible stuff - you know this wont be around for long."

Released 2007. Contains hard to find R&B, Pop, Highlife, Palm-wine, Jщjъ and choral music recorded between 1967 & 1972" (from liner notes). Includes tracks from from Mali, Somalia, Kenya, Zambia, Sierra Leone, others. "Dense propulsive funky drumming, killer old soul jangle riffs, and growled and crooned, sexed-up vocals, complete with JB style "HEY!"s... [also] crooned ballads with simple shuffling rhythms, fluttery flutes and a deep warm velvety voice, festive joyous celebratory jams, with wildly strummed guitars, lush vocal harmonies, wild percussion, dark languorous afroblues; every track here is a gem, some funky and upbeat, others moody and mellow, so fantastic. Fans of the Ethiopiques comps, the recently reviewed Yaala Yaala releases, that killer Ghana Soundz collection, and the Afro Funk Explosion comp, heck, if you love this stuff the way we do, then you NEED this. All handmade packaging, recycled record sleeves with pasted on front and back covers."

"The styles of music featured on this LP are: R&B, Highlife, & Dry Guitar Music" (from back cover). A beautiful comp of dug-up treasures from Africa. According to the back cover the fellows at MR "hope to release 3 more compilations of this type of music over the next two years." This time the LP runs on the loose theme of African Highlife, R&B, and guitar-based melodies from Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Nairobi and Tanzania from 1955-1972. The exception is "Chemirocha" (performer unknown) which is "an ode to the yodelin' brakeman, Jimmie Rodgers." This LP had a limited run the first go around, reportedly limited to 300 copies and followed by a second edition of 200. Heavy cardboard sleeve with paste-on photograph of seated musician with guitar. Some copies have photograph pasted on right side.

Obscure African LP reissue. Congolese pop-Gospel, ca. 1970-1980. Released 2009. No catalog number and no indications on cover or label that this is a Mississippi Records release, however "MR032" appears in the dead wax. "Loose-knit, almost ‘Shaggs-like’ rhythms accompanied by male and female vocals. From slow dirges reminiscent of Beatles pop melodies to fast African rockers inspired by American '50s R&B. A truly unique record."

Originally released by and licensed from Arhoolie Records. Reissue of 1969 Arhoolie LP 1040 (see also Arhoolie CD/Cassette 1040). Mastered for MR by Tim Stollenwerk. Features percussionist Coleman on oil drum with vocals; produced and recorded on December 7, 1968, by Chris Strachwitz in San Antonio, TX, on portable equipment. Cover photo by Chris Strachwitz; cover design by Wayne Pope. "Coleman's drum is a 55 gallon oil drum shaped with a hand ax.... His drum sticks are made from hammer handles, the bases of hand oil cans filled with pebble and B-B shot to provide a rattle...." (from the liner notes). "Bongo Joe is perhaps the world's only virtuoso player of the empty oil drum, a man so ingenious that he could even turn petroleum refuse into something musical and sublime. [...] Bongo Joe drums on his oil cans with a thunderous, tympani-like effect, while discoursing rambling, insightful and humorous lyrics that are often times more stories than songs. As Joe himself put it, 'I rap but not that bullshit they're putting down now. I play fundamental beat music.' Whether draping his drums with an American flag or washing them in swirls of psychedelic green and red paint, there's something beyond the typical street-corner busker in Bongo Joe's persona, unbridled quality that isn't just musical, but draws on a tradition of pure entertainment. One of the true treasures of the Arhoolie catalog for many years. Try 'Innocent Little Doggie' (if you think Joe was just a novelty act, listen closely to the poignant insightfulness of the lyrics), 'Transistor Radio' (more wry commentary) and 'Dog Eat Dog.' One of our favorites, available on vinyl for the first time in 39 years."
Oil Drum. Psychedelia. Blues. He sounds a bit like Ceelo, the rapper. My dog is gets very uncomfortable when Coleman sings "Cool It Right".

Тикен Джа Факоли родился в Кот-д'Ивуар (Берег Слоновой Кости), в одной из мировых растафарианских столиц — городе Абиджан. Он, как и другой известный музыкант из этих краев - Alpha Blondy, родом из древнего гриотского клана. Последние пять-семь лет его социально-политические рэгги-сказания и проповеди в Европе звучат столь же часто (см. "Ouvrez les frontieres"), как на черном континенте.

В 2008-ом артист получил премию международной ассоциации против цензуры Freemuse (его выделили как музыканта, конвертирующего свою популярность в действия по защите права на свободное выражение мнений). Совсем другую оценку его творчеству и борьбе против коррупции и авторитаризма выставили правительства сразу нескольких стран: в Сенегале его объявили персоной non grata за резкую критику правящей элиты и призыв к гражданской мобилизации в поддержку демократии; из родного Кот-д'Ивуара его пришлось эвакуировать друзьям после того, как в 2003-ем году разразился политический кризис и несколько близких к Tiken Jah Fakoly активистов были зверски убиты. В настоящий момент музыкант получил статус политического беженца в соседнем государстве Мали.

«Ca va Faire mal»- песня, призывающая к гражданской солидарности, миротворчеству и контролю за действиями правительств.

Одна из первых blaxploitation сд сборок (не буду зарекаться, возможно даже самая первая). Продюссером выступил всем известный рэппер-сутенер Ice-T.
10 классических трэков из культовых blaxploitation фильмов Shaft, Cleopatra, Superfly, Trouble Man, Shaft In Africa, The Mack, Across 110th Street, Foxy Brown, Three The Hard Way, Shaft's Big Score. Сборник был посвящен скорейшему выздоровлению легендарного Куртиса Мэйфилда, который остался парализованным после трагического инциндента в 1990м году, когда на него упала осветительная техника во время живого выступления в Бруклине.
