Title: JAKOBY NIC (As If Nothing) Artist: MARTA KUBIŠOVÁ

Label: VAMPISOUL Format: 7" Vinyl Cat #: VAMPI 45049

Marta Kubišová’s last single with the Orchestr Golden Kids before her 20 years long ban was already pressed in summer 1970.

Label: VAMPISOUL Format: 7" Vinyl Cat #: VAMPI 45050

Emil Viklický is a renowned jazz pianist and composer, but less known is his work as an arranger.

Title: ˇDEMOLICIÓN! Artist: LOS SAICOS

Label: MUNSTER Format: CD DIGIPACK Cat #: MR CD 295 Format: 6 x 7" box set (limited edition) Cat #: MR 7224

With only six singles released between 1965 and 1966, Peru’s Los Saicos created a raw, wild and visceral sound, the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of the garage rock that was coming out of the US North West at the same time. Theirs is the same DNA shared by The Sonics, The Cramps and Black Lips. This release compiles all their recordings and tells their amazing story. MORE INFO

Title: THE GREAT BARRIER Artist: THE SITUATIONS

Label: MUNSTER Format: 7" Vinyl Cat #: MR 7228

Title: CICLOS Artist: LOS CANARIOS

Label: VINILÍSSSIMO Format: LP (limited edition) Cat #: MR-SSS 09
