Ramones Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Marky sound bigger, fuller and more polished then ever. Of course, the producer was Phil ("Wall'O'Sound") Spector. Interestingly, too, the single to be released with this LP is the one cur the Ramones didn't compose, Baby, I Love You, which Spector co-wrote for the Ronnetes back in 1963, In and case, Phil and the boys prove to be a happy combination of talents. Despite his vaunted polish, Spector hasn't mixed away the underlying rawness and driving delivery that made the group the first New Wavers to attract national attention. The Ramones, who come from Queens, have perfected a crazily eclectic accent. They say "banahna" as though they're from Britain and "Rock'n'Roll like Midwesterners. What with their juvenile lyrics and cult movie hit, Rock'n'Roll High School (that song is included on this LP), the Ramones seem sure to crack the Top 40 this time.

This, as everyone should already know, is a brilliant album. “Transformer” (No.13 UK, No.29 US ’72) was Lou Reed’s second solo album since leaving the Velvet Underground but it was his first real taste of success spawning classics by the load with “Walk On The Wild Side” (No.10 UK, No.16 US ’72), “Perfect Day”, “Vicious” and “Satellite Of Love”. The album not only is choc full of great songs but was also beautifully produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson. Obviously “Transformer” should be in everyone’s record collection and now it can be! So what else d’ya need to know? If you don’t own this already you should immediately rush out and buy it, OK?

Another piece of history revisited by your friendly vinyl vendors! One of the brilliant things about this gig is that it gives us the opportunity to revisit and re-evaluate a lot of early albums by today's giant superstars. So, welcome to the first album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, called surprisingly "Red Hot Chili Peppers". Now we all know that the band exploded with "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" which was rather unfortunate for EMI who had persevered with the band's previous four album releases. Publicity wise they should have got off to a rocking start by signing to EMI-America in the nude but unfortunately this didn't translate into record sales on any of their first four albums, which was unfortunate because each and every one is rockin'! So, for those of you who have only discovered the Chili's own unique brand of Acid Funk N' Roll just recently, "Red Hot Chili Peppers" is a monster of an album. Any disbelievers only have to hear songs like the manic "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" or the funk rap of "Baby Appeal", "Buckle Down" and "Why Don't You Love Me" to appreciate the true appeal of the Chilis. If you like your music hot then grab the Chilis on 180 gram vinyl - you know it makes sense!

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - "Freaky Styley" - 1985 Capitol Records ST-17168 / 2000 EMI Records SVLP 223 - Printed in UK

There was a great reception for the debut album from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so we decided to continue the fun and release their second album - the funk-rock classic "Freaky Styley". As with all the early Chili Peppers albums, "Freaky Styley" failed to chart - a classic case of a band being way ahead of their time. Produced by P-Funk Godfather George Clinton, "Freaky Styley" is a no-holds-barred excursion into heavy funk-rock with Clinton's touch being a perfect foil for this unique band. In fact the album stands up much better today then it ever did on first hearing. Right from the very first track - the motherfunkin' "Jungle Man" through to the percussive and very funky "Yertle The Turtle", "Freaky Styley" is a great Chili-styled funk-rock workout and a brilliant indication of what was to come. The album also includes the only single released from it - the scintillating "Hollywood (Africa)", which failed to make the charts but has since become something of a collectable rarity. Make no mistake, "Freaky Styley" is the Chili's at their funk-rockin' best and, in our opinion is every bit as good as "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik" and "Calafornication".

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" - 1987 Capitol Records EL 48036 / 2000 EMI Records SVLP 242 - Printed in UK - 180g Virgin Vinyl Pressing - Sealed - NEW VINYL

Continuing with our Red Hot Chili Peppers re-issue policy and following on from their debut - "Red Hot Chili Peppers" and "Freaky Styley". It gives us great pleasure to re-issue their third album, the uniquely titled "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan". This was essentially the last album which would feature the original line-up of Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Michael `Flea' Balzary and Jack Irons. The unfortunate death of Slovak from a drug overdose and the departure of Irons for pastures new would bring in future members John Frusciante and Chad Smith for their album "Mother's Milk". But what of "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan"? The album was a natural progression from their first two LP's and is probably the best indicator yet of their future potential. Containing such killers and typical Chili titles as "Fight Like A Brave", "Skinny Sweaty Man", "Funky Crime", "No Love Chump Sucker" and "Organic Anti-Beat Box Band", "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" is another fascinating example of a band on the road towards international superstardom. Oh yeah, did we forget, first time ever on 180 gram vinyl, so treat yourselves.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - "Mothers Milk" - 1989 Capitol Records MTL 1046 / 2001 EMI Records SVLP 328 - Printed in UK

Welcome to our fourth Red Hot Chili Peppers release and their last album release for EMI before they went to Warners and scored hugely with “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”. “Mothers Milk” (No.52 US ’89) followed “Red Hot Chili Peppers” (SVLP156), “Freaky Styley” (SVLP223) and “Uplift Mofo Party Plan” (SVLP242) and was obviously EMI’s last shot attempt to get the band away. Which they almost did following a barrage of singles like “Knock Me Down”, their cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” (No.55 & No.54 UK ’89 – it was actually re-issued twice in the UK) and “Taste The Pain” (No.29 UK ’90). Nonetheless, it wasn’t to be, so the band split to Warners where all their subsequent albums became smashes. By “Mothers Milk” the band had mutated somewhat following the death of Hillel Slovak so the members were now Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Chad Smith and Flea and this was the line-up which recorded “Blood Sex Sugar Magik” and finally found success after 12 years of hard slog. “Mothers Milk” remains a critical favourite to this day. In fact, in many ways, the Chili’s were way ahead of their time – had they launched now they’d have taken off immediately! Incidentally, a beautiful cover with a naked lady holding all 4 Chili’s!

We go to one of the most influential rap groups of all time – Run DMC and their breakthrough album “Raising Hell” (No.41 UK, No.3 US ’86). “Raising Hell” is famous for being the first Rap album to ‘cross over’ to the mass market as a result of a groundbreaking worldwide smash with their cover version of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” (No.4 US, No.8 UK ’86). This inspired cover version single-handedly transformed the fortunes of rap music because it suddenly made it accessible to the mass white audience via MTV and mainstream radio. Aside from “”Walk This Way”, the album contains several other Hip-Hop classics in the form of “My Adidas”, “Peter Piper” (No.62 UK ’86), “You Be Illin’” (No.42 UK, No.29 US ‘’87) and It’s Tricky” (No.16 UK, No.57 US ’87). “Raising Hell” is another essential 180 gram Rap purchase to go alongside our other classics like the three Public Enemy albums (SVLP’s 213, 214 & 227), Arrested Development (SVLP217), Cypress Hill (SVLP170) and Wu Tang Clan (SVLP215). Hey…..this was the sound of rap fifteen years ago - long before Eminem was even old enough to rhyme.

Run-D.M.C. is arguably the greatest group in hip-hop history. They were the first rap group to receive a gold plaque, the first to earn a platinum album, the first to star on MTV, the first to become a household name … and, for two generations of rap fans, they are the face and sound of '80s hardcore hip-hop. Run (Joseph Simmons), D.M.C. (Darryl McDaniels), and Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) make up the trio. In 1983, the three released their first single, "It's Like That" on indie label Profile. The 12-inch garnered enormous acclaim from local B-boys and became a national hit. The B-side, "Sucker MC's" with its unusual (for the time) minimalist beat and advanced rhyme style, is considered by many hip-hop lovers to be the first hardcore rap song. The group's second album (which would eventually go platinum), 1985's "King of Rock" featured hits like the title track, "You Talk Too Much" and "Can You Rock It Like This" the latter including ghostwritten lyrics by a then-16-year-old LL Cool J. In early 1986, Run-D.M.C. starred in Krush Groove, a film co-starring the Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, LL Cool J, and then-unknowns the Beastie Boys. Unfortunately, the film's release sparked violence in theaters across the country, including a riot in Nassau County, N.Y. Despite the subsequent negative publicity surrounding the group, Run-D.M.C. recorded and released Raising Hell in 1986. It marked a watershed moment in hip-hop history and signaled rap's final evolution from electro- and Hi-NRG-dance music to tough drum machine beats and scratching effects. "Raising Hell" quickly became the biggest-selling album in rap history, landing at No. 3 on the Billboard charts and selling well more than 3 million copies on the strength of singles like "My Adidas" and "Walk This Way" an audacious remake with the song's originators, Aerosmith. "Walk This Way," for its part, not only became the first top 10 single in hip-hop history (discounting Blondie's 1980 new wave ditty "Rapture"), but also single-handedly revived Aerosmith's career. This is the "Ultimate" Run D.M.C Collection and features all the tracks that have paved the way for today's Hip Hop superstars. Not forgetting that Run D.M.C were the first Hip Hop Superstars themselves...
