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!

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
The WinterPills
A Light DividesTrawling through myspace in an endless quest for fresh sounds I strike gold with The Winterpills. A Light Divides is the band's second album and is a quantum leap in quality from their also worthy debut. Think Low's boy/gril harmonies filtered through a more refined folk/pop sensibility coupled with a subtly beautiful production and you have the album of the year. No contest.
MOVIE OF THE YEAR
Hot Fuzz
Dear Everybody On The Internet,
My name is Billy and I think 'Hot Fuzz' was easily the best movie of the year. Two of my favourite actors, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are in it and they make me laugh. Also one of my favourite new directors, Edgar Wright made this movie. He also made 'Shaun of the Dead' and the tv show 'Spaced'. Please buy it today at 78's.
Yours Sincerely,
Billy Lemon

DVD OF THE MONTH
Flight of the Conchords
Sure, they may be "New Zealand's 4th most popular folk parody duo" but they've easily made 2007 world's best comedy TV show.
Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie have been doing the comedy circuit for years with moderate success, but it seems that the television format is where the fruit of their comedy really ripens.
Their ridiculous songs are actually very funny when given the appropriate setting the show provides.
Well scripted and well directed.
It's Finntastic!!
TV SERIES OF THE MONTH
The metalocalypse has begun! Find out why this Death Metal-meets-Spinal Tap animated series has become a favourite with staff and customers alike at 78s. The hilarious yet on-the-money satire of the biggest Death Metal band in the world, Dethklok, shows us a rare insight into the nerdy world of Metal, and shows us what it means to be 'true'.
