COZY POWELL Tilt [released 15th June 2009]
CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=471400
Considered to be one of England's best drummers, and very much in demand for rock and pop records, Cozy Powell was almost legendary for a heavy-hitting style that could be made to work with many kinds of rock music, whether for the thundering pop productions helmed by Mickie Most, Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake & Powell, or even his own solo work (notably "Dance with the Devil," which was a major English hit in 1973.) Powell began his professional music career in 1965 with the Sorcerers, eventually winding up working with Jeff Beck after Beck left the Yardbirds. In 1971, Powell formed Bedlam, but eventually abandoned this project to produce singles such as "Dance with the Devil." He later formed Cozy Powell's Hammer, which broke up in 1975. After a brief sabbatical, he joined Rainbow, helping to give the band a thundering rhythm section before quitting after four years and four albums in 1980. Always in demand for the drum seat, he alternated between session work and working in a variety of bands, including the Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake and Black Sabbath, never staying in any one band for very long. In 1996, he worked with former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green on his long-awaited comeback tour. At the time of his death on April 5, 1998, he was recuperating from a foot injury that had sidelined him from touring work with guitarist Yngvie Malmsteen. He was driving on the M4 Motorway towards Bristol when he apparently lost control of his car (due to bad weather), slamming into the center divider of the motorway. He died a few hours later in the hospital.* Considered to be one of the most talented drummers ever! CD features 8 tracks including 'Cat Moves', 'Hot Rock', 'Jekyll & Hyde', 'Sunset', 'Living A Lie' & 'The Right Side' * First time on CD in the UK * Featuring the evergreen talents of Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce and Gary Moore * Re-mastered with lavish booklet featuring notes by Classic Rock's Jerry Ewing

TOM RAPP Sunforest [released 15th June 2009]
CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=471413
Sunforest was the ninth album recorded by American singer-songwriter Tom Rapp (either with or without his group Pearls Before Swine), his second for Blue Thumb Records, and his final record before his lengthy retirement from the music industry after the mid-1970s. Sunforest was released in 1973 and was credited to "Tom Rapp / Pearls Before Swine". Like its immediate predecessor, Stardancer, the album was recorded with members of the touring group Pearls Before Swine (Art Ellis and Bill Rollins), supplemented by a selection of prominent Nashville session musicians. The sleeve design showed a cover painting of Rapp, and two small reproductions of paintings by Henri Rousseau were included on the back cover.
TOM RAPP Stormdancer [released 15th June 2009]
CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=471419
After two Pearls Before Swine albums for ESP-Disk, and five albums for Reprise Records which increasingly acknowledged his solo status, Rapp signed for Blue Thumb as a singer-songwriter, ironically around the same time as Pearls Before Swine had at last begun to perform as a regular touring group. The group, including Art Ellis, Harry Orlove and Bill Rollins, appeared on three of the tracks on Stardancer, but on most of the songs Rapp was supported - as he had been two years earlier on The Use of Ashes - by Nashville session musicians, led by Charlie McCoy and supported by Steve McCord (who had previously been a member of one of Lou Reed's first bands, The All Night Workers) Rapp stated that Stardancer was the first album since the first Pearls album One Nation Underground over which he had full control. The fierce anti-war song "Fourth Day of July", with its references to "the broken children of Vietnam", was widely played in "underground" circles of the time. The lighthearted "Summer of '55" contains some of Rapp's cleverest aphorisms, such as "When the day breaks / the pieces fall on you". Two of his other songs, "Stardancer" and "For The Dead In Space", reflect on themes of loss against a background of space travel and can be seen as reworkings of Pearls Before Swine's earlier "Rocket Man". Like most of the Pearls Before Swine albums, the sleeve design used classic art works, in this case the painting "Descent of the Rebel Angels" by Pieter Brueghel the Elder on the front sleeve, and a William Morris background design on the reverse.
MILLTOWN BROTHERS The Best Of [released 15th June 2009]
CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=471422
In the heat of the late 80s UK scene, many bands came and went, leaving no trace but a single memorable song (if they were lucky). Milltown Brothers, however, rose above the pack and, although they may not have reached the heady heights achieved by some of their contemporaries, left behind them an enjoyable catalogue scattered with a handful of hits and timely anthems. This expanded Best Of collection contains singles from both A&M albums, a sprinkling of demos and alternate versions, as well as the classic debut album Slinky in its entirety. Far from a forgotten band, the Milltown Brothers still find themselves held in high regard, and are occasionally active with live shows and online activity. * All single releases included * Classic slinky album in its entirety * Comprehensive sleevenotes and memorabilia * Tweaked and mastered for the modern age
