Janek Gwizdala Project Coming To Perth!

Having lived in New York City for the past 10 years a new chapter opens for London born bass player and band leader Janek Gwizdala, with the assembly of a quartet comprised of some of the most modern voices in improvised music today. Taking a turn away from touring and recording as a sideman, Janek brings together the talents of world renowned drumming legend Jojo Mayer, outstanding piano player and singer songwriter Oli Rockberger, with the completely unique, and constantly searching voice of Audun Waage on trumpet. Together these four musicians with a cultural melting pot of backgrounds, comprise a unit that asks musical questions on a global scale. Each with deep roots in the tradition of many genres of music including Jazz, Electronica, R&B, Pop, and Folk, they come together to challenge the boundaries of improvised music while never losing sight of melodic expression in it’s most basic song form.

Don't miss out on this extraordinary show on 26th November at The Fly By Night Club In Fremantle.Tickets $39 dollars from HERE or $45 dollars at the door.

SORE-DIARY

Sub-Pop's 7th best selling record. Ever.

Just after we got our pants clean from news of Sunny Day Real Estate's reformation & Australian Soundwave tour, it's back to the laundromat because Sub-Pophas just issued a deluxe remaster of their amazing first Long Player, DIARY. Angst driven emotional hardcore from the best in the biz.

This powerful yet fragile masterpiece is an essential addition to the collection of any fan of Indie-Rock, Hardcore, Post-Rock, Punk, Pop, and just good fuckin music. Reissued on CD & Vinyl with 2 bonus tracks for your listening pleasure, make it yours today.

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE LP2 REISSUE

OK, so the 'White' album by The Beatles is a bona-fide classic. Metallica's 'Black' album is a true metal monster. But, Sunny Day Real Estate's 'Pink' album is the unsung champion of the coloured albums.

Fantastic guitar work, stellar bass and Slint inspired drumming makes the perfect bed for Jeremy Enigk's unusual, yet haunting melodies. Hearing him sing the alphabet would be a pleasure. The two bonus tracks are a must too.

*PLEASE NOTE* IMPORTED CD'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE

ALBUM OF THE YEAR (so far...)

Propagandhi-Supporting Caste
Propagandhi have done it again with another superb album. Full of bone crushing thrash punk coupled with mature song writing, this album packs one hell of a punch, showing their move to a heavy sound without comprimisong any of their unique style. The lyrics are still as activist orientated as ever (and do i detect a hint of humour?), true to the Propagandhi style. For those of you that missed the show just recently, don't be worried, buying this album will make up for your moment of temporary insanity.(But you still missed one awesome show!)

78 RECORDS-THE VINYL PUSHERS

After proving it's worth for over 100 years, the trusty old vinyl record is making a comeback into mainstream culture. Hidden away for 15 years, appreciated only by audiophiles and DJ's, good old vinyl is now back on the rise as a new generation retaliates against the evil that is digital recording. All of us here greatly support this resurgence and as such, have drastically increased our vinyl stock and with many more orders on the way. We now stock 2000+ titles on vinyl, with opportunities to order in specific titles for punters. We also stock record player acessories such as Stylus(Needles), Turntable belts, and gramophone needles.

With many new albums being released on vinyl every week, we look to stock as many as possible, with an emphasis on the high quality 180 Gram editions. Many new albums also come with a free CD of the album, or a digital download code to be able to copy the album to your computer or mp3 player. This allows you to enjoy the humble activity of spinning records at home while still being able to listen to all your music while on the move.

A reminder also that we do post any of our stock to almost anywhere if you have difficulty reaching our store.

THE BLUES SECTION FROM HEAVEN

78 Records has always been associated with good blues music. One of the reasons we opened was so that we could import rare blues albums for personal use.

We still carry a huge range of blues music. From the primitive sounds of the 20's, the country blues of the 30's, the early electric sounds of the 40's, the awesome Chess recordings of the 50's through to the twin revivals of country blues and white blues of the 60's. From there the music seemed to go down a myriad of paths, some merging with other musics, all adding to the varied and healthy blues scene we have today.

The pictured CD contains what is arguably the first electric blues release recorded as a complete album, in September 1965. (What were you doing then?) Prior to this, blues albums were simply collections of singles and their B-sides.

This album features Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their blues peak with incredibly moving playing. A very influential album, it showcases the sparks that fly when Buddy Guy and Junior Wells got together to play their own brand of tight, tough soulful blues music.

To put it simply, "it's a killer".

Remember, if it's blues you want, 78's is where to get it!
