Be With Records

16/12/2023

Our dear Nan has sadly passed away at the age of 102. Truly made of Sheffield steel, she was a wonderful woman with a sharp wit and sharper tongue; a diamond card player and Boston’s best-loved landlady throughout the 1960s/70s.

She is also the reason Be With Records exists. In 2013, armed with nothing but a long-held idea, bags of passion but zero money living on next to nothing in London, she gifted me enough cash to press the first two records. Without her we simply couldn’t have started the label.

One of the many amazing things she did in her life and a gesture I’ll never, ever forget.

Salute, Nan! ❤️

Our release of Malcolm McLaren’s “Call A Wave” has quite rightly been awarded a place on Top 50 Reissues of the year list.

Playing here is a clip of the might fine original, at that’s all that’s on Instagram.

The 5 eternal remixes, however, will blow your bo****ks off.

Here’s our friend Wally Badarou with his copy of Colors Of Silence.

What a record, what a man!

Congrats to who made the prestigious Top 100 list in albums of the year.

The blunted deep jazz-funk swing of "Alicia" is a rearranged reimagining of the Gabor Szabo song from his classic Jazz Raga LP. This here sounds like an outtake from The Chronic.

Catch Rob going deep and long for a special all-wax (ofc) Sunday afternoon set at .mcr from 3pm-9pm.

Usually we’re scanning in old sleeves and cleaning up the ringwear. Pretty sure this is the first time we’ve had to recreate late 2000s Photoshop filters for some original late 2000s digital photographs.

So…it came out in January so you’d be forgiven for overlooking it.

But, really, is anything else coming close for reissue of the year?

An interview with Wally Badarou for The Guardian.

His reputation for futurist pop got him work with everyone from Grace Jones and Talking Heads to Foreigner – now the French keyboardist is reissuing a soundtrack for a yoga DVD that became a Balearic classic

We couldn’t be prouder to have worked with to bring his late-period majestic masterpiece onto vinyl. After years of work, it finally hits shops worldwide today.

We also couldn’t have done this without , who originally told us about the album’s existence back in 2012 when we canvassed mates for their dream (re)issues on vinyl.

Huge ❤️ and support for Cassie since day one.

Dynamite artist and individual, these stories are horrifying and hopefully justice will prevail.

Play this icy masterpiece LOUD today.

Mindblowing

13/11/2023

Fingers on triggers! It's that time again, in the lead up to Christmas, where we briefly open the vaults to our test pressing archive for you to grab a few rare gems.

We have a bunch for sale. First come first serve and we'll ship worldwide. We only get 5 for each title and so quantities are extremely limited - no napping!

We have copies of some back catalogue records (including very last copies of our much-loved KPM /
Themes / Conroy / Coloursound reissues) AND lots of recently announced and *unannounced top secret* releases.

Let us know what you might be after by emailing [email protected] and we'll sort the rest.

We are again doing our LUCKY DIP too, so perhaps consider that. This proved very popular last time out and we’d deffo recommend it for that element of (always pleasant) surprise.

Do not adjust your sets. They’re really - finally - happening.

The ultimate trio of KPM/Themes grails.

08/11/2023

PREORDER NOW!

It's the pair you've all been waiting for! FINALLY!

Alan Tew's Drama Suite Part II. What can we really say? Honestly? We guess the first thing that strikes you is how clean the drums are. Almost impossibly slick but dripping so, so heavy with the neck-snapping funk you'd expect from perhaps the most sought-after library funk set of them all!

The cheapest on Discogs is, currently, £1300+. Now's your chance to remedy that.

If you know, you know. And we think you know...

08/11/2023

PREORDER NOW!

It's the pair you've all been waiting for! FINALLY!

Alan Tew's driving jazz-rock, sleuth-funk masterpiece, Drama Suite Part I is finally reissued to sate your appetites for arguably the very best library two-parter in existence. If you don’t know, get to know.

Originally released in 1976 but wonderfully timeless, Drama Suite Part I is at the top of every library funk collectors' list. It's easy to see why...

08/11/2023

PREORDER NOW!

Impossible to find in the wild, KPM's Image is exactly that; this record paints extraordinary, hyper-vivid scenes with music, in the way only the library greats can. Originally released in 1974, Image is an absolutely stunning listen from start to finish, and arguably the most wanted KPM grail that's still not been reissued - until now! Just too good…

Worth the price of admission alone, and likely the reason you're all already drooling about this release, the mellow, dramatic beat of "Image", Brian Bennett's opener and title track, is a Jaylib-sampled firecracker. A reflective, scenic underscore which grows to full orchestra and ends as it begins - it's just beautiful.
