NEW RELEASES: two records that are a million miles away from each other stylistically, and I love them both! This is what the label is about after all. The story of Island Of Death is a long one: when I did the DVD store Strange Vice, I managed to get in touch with Nico Masterakis and we agreed to release the infamous soundtrack to his equally infamous video nasty. We bought the licence, but never got it together to release the record. Well, years went by, I opened up my shop and the other guys in Strange Vice kinda ghosted me out of the business, and the licence ran out. talking to Gianni and Anton of Giallo Disco, it came up that I was seemingly the only person on the planet to have been able to successfully contact Mr Masterakis, and we managed to get a new deal to get the rights to release the soundtrack on vinyl. So, about 5 years on….here it is, released for the first time: the weirdest and most catchy of the video nasty tunes!
The Regler LP is the absolute business and the heaviest thing you’ll hear all year! I absolutely love both these guys and am so chuffed to be continuing to work with them both, and I hope my faith in their music is repaid by people buying and enjoying it. See the Releases page for my thoughts and check out Bandcamp to hear it!
Not much in the way of new gear this month cos I’ve spent all my dosh on new releases….though a new record by THE GEROGERIGEGEGE more than makes up for that! A few spares of stuff I thoght was sold out added; I alphabetised my record collection last weekend and came away with a boxes worth of doublers, and a fair whack of them shifted in the shop yesterday! So come to Cornucopia Records first Saturday of the month for some good gear!
