Snide Effects

IMPERIAL BEDROOM Rating Star MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE Rating Star ALL DEMON Two ideas seem to connect these albums: production and fascism, emotional or otherwise.

Simple Minds

Remastering the Scottish stadium rockers' fame years

The Pretty Things – Singles As & Bs

R&B/psychedelic/rock odyssey charted in 45s

T. Rex

WAX CO SINGLES VOLUME 2 (1975-8) Rating Star BOTH EDSEL If you hit puberty back in the '70s, your first vaguely sexual experience was, perhaps, handing over your 50p to purchase the latest must-have T. Rex single, seven inches of raucous beauty bedecked in a blue-and-red paper sleeve. Someone's had the very fine idea of re-fashioning these period gems on individual CDs and collating them into two box sets, 11 on each.

The Zombies – Singles As & Bs

Lightly jazzy English pop spread thinly

Cath Carroll – The Gondoliers Of Ghost Lake

Fourth solo album co-written with husband Kerry Kelekovich

Various Artists – Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry

Speaker-shredding delights from the archives of dub

Procol Harum – Singles As & Bs

A quarter-century of baroque-rock 45s

Deep Purple – Listen, Learn, Read On

Breathtaking box set exhaustively chronicling Purple's live and rare heritage

Short Cuts

The Beatles, The Doors, The Bee Gees, Curtis, Kris and Willie etc, are treated to a first-class passage to heaven thanks to Green's matchless ability to inhabit his material. Buy it for yourself, soul brothers and sisters. The Prisoners IN FROM THE COLD BIG BEAT Rating Star The Prisoners spearheaded an early '80s Medway garage scene that spat in the eye of synth-pop ubiquity. Their fourth LP was released just as their parent label, Stiff, went bust in 1986.
