Back catalogue: All genres

Review: In 1978 The Sex Pistols embarked on the legendary American tour that they would never finish.

DOA: A Rite of Passage is the unique, grainy and up-close document of a unique moment in music history, packed with live footage of The Pistols' incendiary American shows, as well as live performances from Terry and The Idiots, Dead Boys, Generation X, Rich Kids, X-Ray Spex, Sham 69 and additional music from The Clash and Iggy Pop.

The cameras also go behind-the-scenes into bars, clubs and car parks and features the now infamous Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen bed interview.

Notes: Gorillaz' second album "Demon Days" and its accompanying videos took the world by storm. "Slowboat To Hades" rounds up these incredible documents for the first time; from the award-winning videos and hi-tech performances to their inventive animated shorts, Gorillaz' appearance on MTV Cribs, acceptance speeches and much more. A bonus CD Rom includes a whole library of wallpapers and screensavers and 16 fiendishly addictive games - high scorers will be rewarded with hidden extras!

Notes: Water on the Road, a live-concert DVD directed by Brendan Canty of Fugazi and Christoph Green featuring performances from Vedder's August 16th and 17th 2008 solo tour engagements at Washington, D.C.'s Warner Theatre. The DVD features a live performance of You're True from Ukulele Songs as well as a mix of Pearl Jam catalog, covers and songs from Vedder's critically acclaimed, award-winning solo record, Into The Wild.4* review in MOJO. Press advertising and features in all relevant music press.

Notes: Hip-hop is huge, and it's time someone wrote it all down. With more than 25 years of interviews, and virtually every hip-hop single, remix, and album ever recorded at their disposal, the highly respected Ego Trip staff are the ones to do it. Their "Book Of Rap Lists" runs the gamut of hip-hop information, breaking it down into chapters on art, lyrics, production, fashion, names, performances, etc. This is an exhaustive, indispensable and completely irreverent bible of true hip-hip knowledge.

Notes: Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story - a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock 'n' roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith's "Just Kids." But at its core, "Girl In A Band" examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means - and what happens when that identity dissolves. Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, "Girl In A Band" is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist.

Notes: Grim Humour was a UK fanzine which existed for eighteen editions, between 1983 and 1993. It received good reviews and favourable attention from the outset, partly due to its often sarcastic or caustic tone (which became more pronounced with later editions) and its focusing on many groups who arrived from the post-punk music landscape that originated in the DIY sensibilities of the time. Although initially assembled by a group of friends whose passion for the music they wished to document far overrode their artistic or writing skills, the fanzine soon developed in every respect and even became (inter)nationally distributed to independent record stockists, resulting in larger print runs and, with the later editions, a more semi-professional approach that never once betrayed the attitudinal stance of the early issues. This collection is dedicated to re-edited interviews, reviews and suchlike from the first ten editions, reprints of a number of the original pages, bonus material and several contributions by those who were involved with the 'zine, championed it or were part of the very same enclave it pulsated in. Due to the fact many of the original pages had colour backgrounds or were brimming with text bashed out on barely functioning typewriters, the idea of simply rewriting many of the features took hold as a sensible alternative itself open to being expanded on and contextualised. The features include interviews with The Fall, Killing Joke, Crass, Coil, 400 Blows, Sonic Youth, In The Nursery, Head Of David, Virgin Prunes, The Damned, Nick Cave, The Ramones, Fool's Dance (featuring Simon Gallup of The Cure), And Also The Trees, Alternative TV, Portion Control, Big Black and others, plus many reviews, a couple of rants and far more besides. It is hoped this book illuminates a tiny segment of a culture now long gone and never to be repeated. Given just how many of those concerned remain active to this day in one capacity or another, this is far more than a simple nostalgia trip.
