DOUG SAHM & THE SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET:
THE COMPLETE MERCURY RECORDINGS
FLOATING WORLD: FBOX 6467 – 5 CD BOX SET

Doug Sahm was one of Texas music’s great characters. The self-styled ‘Sir Douglas’ embraced a breathtaking array of musical styles and sounds throughout his career, and this smartly-appointed 5 CD box set, which features all of the recordings The Sir Douglas Quintet made for the Smash and Mercury labels, 1968-71, is a superb showcase for Sahm’s unique celebration of ‘The Groove’.

The band – featuring his old San Antonio running mate Augie Meyers on keyboards – covered gutsy, raw-throated funk (check out ‘Are In-Laws Really Outlaws’), Western Swing ‘San Antonio Rose’), Rootsy Pop (‘Mendocino’), plus a whole heap ‘n’ helping of Country, Tex-Mex, Blues, R&B, and just about all the other points in between.

This set also includes rarities such as Spanish language versions, mono versions, productions for the likes of Roy Head and Junior Parker, and all in all is a tremendous celebration of one of greatest musicians to hail from the Lone Star State.

MIKE BLOOMFIELD:
IT’S NOT KILLING ME & LIVE AT THE OLD WALDOLF
FLOATING WORLD: FLOATD 6468 – 2 CD SET

The late Mike Bloomfield was one of the finest guitarists of his generation. He ignited the lead guitar role as part of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and his sizzling, incendiary licks helped make Bob Dylan’s appearance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival unforgettable as he ‘Went Electric’.

He also set up the Electric Flag, and his work on the Al Kooper ‘Supersession’ album helped underscore his reputation as a real innovator on electric guitar.

This double CD set yokes together his 1969 solo debut, It’s Not Killing Me, together with a CD of live recordings, Live at the Old Waldorf, cut in the 1970s, and – unusually for Bloomfield – features a lot of his slide guitar work.

BRIAN AUGER’S OBLIVION EXPRESS: SUPER POP MONTREUX ‘70
REPERTOIRE: REPUK 1485
BRIAN AUGER IS AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEW IN SUPPORT OF THIS RELEASE.

New and exclusive – released for the first time and fully remastered!

In October 1970, Brian Auger returned to The Montreux Jazz Festival with his new outfit, the Oblivion Express. Having established himself as a keyboard player par excellence in the vibrant British rhythm and blues scene that thrived in the Nation’s clubs of the mid-1960s, culminating in the international success that he achieved in 1968 with Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity with the smash hit cover of the Bob Dylan opus, ‘This Wheel’s On Fire’.

Auger was keen to explore fertile new musical ground. He formed Oblivion Express, alongside Jim Mullen (guitar), Barry Dean (bass) and Keith Bailey (drums – Bailey would soon be replaced by Robbie McIntosh), with Auger initially on vocals as well as Hammond Organ.

This recording – from October 17th, 1970 - features material that would be included on their Oblivion Express debut album, released on the RCA label the following year. At an early stage, the band are already a well-drilled, tight combo, mining a fertile seam of Jazz / Rock music. As well as some punchy Auger originals, there are some potent covers of tracks as diverse as ‘I Want To Take You Higher’ by Sly & The Family Stone, ‘Maiden Voyage’ by Herbie Hancock, ‘Listen Here’ by Eddie Harris, ‘Dragon Song’ by John McLaughlin, and even a take on Gabriel Faure’s ‘Pavane’.

This is a dynamic, very fresh in-concert album, made available for the first time since its original recording.

JULIE DRISCOLL / BRIAN AUGER & THE TRINITY: LIVE AT MONTREUX 1968
REPERTOIRE: REPUK 1484
First time for the official release! – Recorded live and restored and remastered from the original archive tapes.

In the summer of 1968, Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity were delighting audiences the world over. Their performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival, released for the very first time, was sourced from the original tapes and contains a never-recorded Brian Auger original ‘Along Came Zizzi’. The 16 page booklet includes an interview with Brian recalling his memories of the festival show, as well as live photographs.

Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity were one of the hottest musical properties of 1968. The combination of Driscoll’s soulful voice, dazzling image and sartorial style, alongside the Hammond Organ / keyboard brilliance of Auger, and the funky rhythm section of Clive Thacker (drums) and Dave Ambrose (bass) made for a dynamic combo in the studio and especially in concert.

This twelve-track live recording is being made available officially for the first time since its original recording, and is a thrilling listen – Driscoll’s imperious vocal style is much in evidence on material that ranges from ‘Season of the Witch’ (Donovan), ‘A Day In The Life’ (The Beatles) and ‘Take Me To The Water’ (Nina Simone).

ROBBEN FORD AND THE BLUE LINE: LIVE AT THE MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL 1993
REPERTOIRE REPUK 1475 - CD / DVD SET

Released for the first time, Robben Ford’s electrifying performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival of 1993. Featuring a live CD and DVD, showcasing the excellence of his band in a live environment. 55 minutes of music in stereo and has been fully remastered.

Regarded as one of the most cultured, accomplished and innovative guitarists of the last forty years, Robben Ford’s credentials as both sideman and solo artist read like a musicians’ Who’s who’.

As a child he played the saxophone and by fourteen had taken up the guitar, playing with his brother’s in the Charles Ford Blues Band. While still a teenager he was hired to play with bluesman Charlie Musselwhite and recorded with Jimmy Witherspoon. Having been a member of jazz fusion band L.A. Express and later The Yellowjackets, the Grammy Award nominee has collaborated with such musical heavyweights as Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Gregg Allman, Rick Springfield, Little Feat and Kiss.

Fast forward to the early ‘90s and Robben Ford and the Blue Line (bassist Roscoe Beck, drummer Tom Brechtlein and pianist Bill Boublitz) were touring internationally non-stop, playing large venues, festivals and outdoor events. Here they are captured at the Montreux Jazz Festival of 1993, at their very best.
