Fast Freddie The Roller Disco King (Record Store Day RSD Black Friday 2022) (limited numbered 180 gram translucent yellow vinyl 12" (indie exclusive))
Cat: MOV 12069. Rel: 02 Dec 22
Review: The backstory to this one is great. It starts in 1978 when a New York producer was in need of some studio musicians to lay down some fast and funky rhythms for a band he was working with, The Imperials. Minneapolis talents Andre Cymone and Prince Rogers Nelson duly stepped up and recorded 'Fast Freddy The Roller Disco King'. An album from the Imperials was set to follow but it never did, leaving us with this one majestic cut. It's soul-drenched and cosmic disco with a killer vocal back with a more leggy and slow-motion cosmic wonder, 'I Just Wanna Be Your Lovin' Man.'

Don Blackman (reissue) (limited 180 gram audiophile blue vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3639C. Rel: 22 Oct 24
Review: Don Blackman's self-titled debut album, released in 1982, stands as a testament to his versatility as a musician, blending jazz-fusion, funk, and r&b with a distinct creative vision. Though it may not have made waves on the charts, its legacy has only grown with time, cementing it as a cult classic in the 80s jazz-funk landscape. Blackman, a skilled keyboardist and vocalist, had already built a name through collaborations with heavyweights like Parliament-Funkadelic and Roy Ayers, but his debut marked a bold foray into the spotlight. The album itself feels like a rich, meticulously crafted groove machine, where Blackman's keyboard wizardry is matched by his soulful vocal delivery. Tracks like 'Heart's Desire' and 'Holding You, Loving You' highlight his knack for catchy melodies, while 'Yabba Dabba Doo' leans into playful funk, embodying the joyous experimentation that permeates the record. Each song brims with tight, polished arrangements, grounded by smooth basslines and Blackman's ability to switch between genres effortlessly. What makes this album so significant is its impact on future generations. While not an immediate commercial hit, it's become a goldmine for hip-hop producers, with many of its tracks being sampled by major artists, pulling it from obscurity into a cherished underground classic. In an era when funk and jazz were evolving, Blackman's debut was - and remains - an unsung yet influential piece of music history, offering a snapshot of an artist at the peak of his creative powers, melding diverse sounds with a rare sophistication.

Album Of The Year (reissue) (180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3861. Rel: 07 Jan 25
Review: This 1981 jazz masterpiece showcases a remarkable ensemble performance, capturing the essence of both tradition and innovation. The album features a young, vibrant lineup, with standout contributions from trumpet, saxophone and piano, each player bringing a unique voice to the compositions. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, with the rhythm section providing a dynamic and supportive foundation, while the horns soar with bold, searing solos. The compositions are varied, with mid to up-tempo tracks that never feel repetitive, driven by intricate arrangements and vibrant melodies. The drumming is particularly exceptional, with complex rhythms that weave in offbeat syncopations and ghost notes, adding an extra layer of excitement to every track. The cohesion of the ensemble is palpable, as each player seems in tune with one another, creating a sense of unity that elevates the music. The solos are both lyrical and energetic, with moments of searching intensity that reflect the band's deep understanding of jazz language. While it's an updated take on the modern jazz sound, the album maintains the urgency and spontaneity of the genre's golden age.

This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N (reissue) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile translucent magenta vinyl LP + booklet + insert)
Cat: MOVLP 3261C. Rel: 14 Nov 23
Review: Dial up the doctor for a dose of P funk heat, and you won't need a spoonful of sugar to help this particular medicine go down. Bootsy Collins is one of the true fundamentals of the Parliament-Funkadelic phenomenon, and he delivered some equally essential entries into the canon as any of the George Clinton classics. This Boot Is Made For Fonk'n' beamed down to earth from the mothership in 1979, when the collective's talents were at their peak, as proven by the presence of Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Garry Shider and Bernie Worrell on the credits and Clinton on the mixing desk. From the slippery psychedelia of 'Under The Influence Of A Groove' to the low sung sleaze of 'Jam Fan (Hot)', this is P funk at its best.

Street Lady (reissue) (gatefold 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3396. Rel: 28 Mar 23
Review: Donald Byrd's Street Lady was released originally in 1973, and at that point the American great had already penned some 20 odd albums. But the 70s marked his move into the funkier side of things and to this day, this album remains one of his most widely loved and important. It's a rich source of samples for a wide range of artists and the opening tune was used smartly by Detroit great Theo Parrish, while tunes like 'Miss Kane' and 'Sister Love' are still huge. Street Lady is as iconic now as it was back first time around with the same going for the experimental sounds of 'Witch Hunt, while 'Woman Of The World' ends on a gentle, euphoric stride.

The Man With The Horn (reissue) (limited numbered 180 gram gold & black marbled vinyl LP)

Review: Predating Herbie Hancock's landmark electro experiment 'Rockit' by two years, this 1981 album from the legendary Miles Davis may reference his his 1952 10" LP Young Man With A Horn in its title, but there's nothing traditional or retro about its sound. Having been tempted out of a six year hiatus by his nephew Vince Wilburn, Miles incoporated brand new synth and programming technology into his sound and elements of funk, soul and fusion jazz into the finished article, which features both tracks with Wilburn's band and others featuring saxophone player Bill Evans, bassist Marcus Miller and drummer Al Foster. It's not your average Miles album by a long chalk, but quite a fascinating insight into how the legend refeused to rest on his creative laurels all the same.

Cat: MOVLP 1500B. Rel: 20 Aug 24
Review: The Moon and the Melodies, a collaboration between Cocteau Twins and ambient pioneer Harold Budd, stands as a unique gem in both artists' discographies. Originally released in 1986, this ethereal album is now being reissued on vinyl, remastered from the original tapes by Robin Guthrie. Unlike anything else the Cocteau Twins ever produced, this record blends their dreamlike soundscapes with Budd's serene, improvisational piano work. The result is an atmospheric journey, at once intimate and expansive. Tracks like 'Sea, Swallow Me' shine with Elizabeth Fraser's otherworldly vocals, intertwined with Guthrie's shimmering guitar and Raymonde's grounding bass, creating a sound that feels both familiar and entirely unique. Instrumentals like 'Memory Gongs' and 'The Ghost Has No Home' highlight Budd's delicate piano, enhanced by the band's signature ambient textures. The album is a study in contrasts, vocal tracks sit alongside instrumentals, each contributing to a cohesive yet diverse listening experience. For fans, this reissue is a chance to revisit a pivotal moment in the evolution of dream pop and ambient music. The album's enduring appeal is evident in its continued influence in social media. The Moon and the Melodies remains a shining light that can happen when artists from different realms come together to create something truly timeless.

Review: 1977's Quiet Nights is one of legendary American jazz figure Mile Davis' lesser known albums. It's not Bitches Brew or Kind of Blue, but it is a delightfully easy to listen work, with references taken from Brazilian folk on 'Prenda Minha' which actually gets renamed 'Song #2' here, or Spanish classical on 'Adelita' which was written by the pioneering Francisco Tarrega and is here called 'Song #1' .There are also some woozy ballads and standout big band jam 'Summer Night.' This reissue comes on heavyweight vinyl and is a great reminder of the range of the influential jazz legend.

Star People (reissue) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile orange & white marbled vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3764C. Rel: 11 Sep 24
Review: Star People by the legendary Miles Davis stands as a distinctive piece in his extensive discography, marking both beginnings and endings in his career. Notably, it introduces electric guitarist John Scofield, who was recommended by saxophonist Bill Evans, and features bassist Marcus Miller on several tracks. The album also signifies the final collaboration between Davis and longtime producer Teo Macero, as well as his last work with the renowned Gil Evans. This album showcases Davis's innovative spirit, particularly on the 18-minute title track, where he plays trumpet and Oberheim synthesiser simultaneously, creating an expansive blues composition without overdubs. The rhythm section, featuring guitarist Mike Stern, drummer Al Foster and percussionist Mino Cinelu, complements Davis's explorations with a dynamic groove. Star People also features live recordings like 'Come Get It' and 'Speak,' highlighting the energy of Davis's performances while pushing the boundaries of the LP format. The album's front cover, adorned with Miles's own artwork, and liner notes by jazz critic Leonard Feather, add depth to this unique release, and for fans of Davis's work from this era, Star People is a compelling listen with the innovative appeal of his late-career experiments.

Review: Krush's eighth - and last - album Jaku is up there with Endtroducing and Donuts in terms of seminal, influential and forward-thinking beat longer players. 10 years since its release and it still sounds as timeless, unique and exciting as it did in 2004. The slick licks of a young Mr Lif on "Nosferatu", the post-apocalyptic tension of "Univearth" the sludgy, swampy cosmic hip-hop of the Aesop Rock-featured "Kill Switch" and the unashamed sax sex of "Slit Of Cloud".....

Review: Duke Ellington's Far East Suite, now reissued on 180-gram audiophile orange vinyl LP, is a noteworthy, though often overlooked, entry in Ellington's discography. Recorded in 1966, the suite reflects a time when jazz was tentatively exploring other cultures, with pieces inspired by the band's tour of the Middle East rather than the Far East. While not as celebrated as Black, Brown and Beige or Such Sweet Thunder, Far East Suite captures an intriguing phase in Ellington's career. Composed with Billy Strayhorn, the suite includes gems like Strayhorn's 'Agra' and Ellington's 'Tourist Point of View,' showcasing their enduring creativity even amid Strayhorn's health struggles. This reissue retains previously issued alternate takes and introduces five new ones, though it's hard to add to the original's brilliance. For newcomers, this is a splendid chance to experience Ellington's adventurous spirit; for longtime fans, it's a familiar but welcome revisit. Despite its misnomer and scattered themes, Far East Suite remains a testament to Ellington's enduring legacy.

Review: Recognised as one of the most prolific jazz pianists of all time, Herbie Hancock played with greats such as Donald Byrd and Miles Davis. He was one of the first to embrace and master the electric piano. He bounced back and forth between his electronic and acoustic sound, touching upon almost every development in R&B, funk and jazz while retaining an original and distinctive voice. Fat Albert Rotunda is the eighth album by Hancock, released in 1969 and his first release for Warner Bros. since his departure from Blue Note Records. The music was originally done for the TV show 'Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert' and was a noticeable change in style - incorporating soul music as the basis of his compositions.

The album features funky tracks like 'Fat Mama' and jazz-oriented tunes such as 'Tell Me A Bedtime Story', wih Hancock supported by a stellar sextet including Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Johnny Coles on trumpet and Buster Williams on bass. Although Hancock's work spans various developments in jazz, funk, and r&b, he always maintained a unique voice, and this is a great example of it at its most distinctive.

This edition for Music On Vinyl comes pressed on 180 gram white wax, all the better to soak up the massive, groovy takes on tracks like 'Pinball Wizard' and 'Lay Lady Lay'.

Commodore Master Takes (180 gram audiophile vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: MOVLP 3819. Rel: 15 Oct 24
Review: The Commodore Master Takes provides an essential snapshot of Billie Holiday's artistry during a pivotal moment in her career. Spanning recordings from 1939 to 1944, these sessions are often regarded as some of Holiday's most powerful and evocative work. The album opens with the haunting 'Strange Fruit,' a stark and fearless protest against racial violence, which was too controversial for other labels but found its rightful place here. Holiday's delivery is chilling, a perfect match for the song's bleak subject matter. Other standouts include 'I'll Be Seeing You,' where her emotive phrasing turns the track into a melancholic ode, and 'As Time Goes By,' a classic tune that, in her hands, takes on an almost timeless quality. These recordings highlight not just Holiday's unique voice but her ability to convey deep emotion and narrative, cementing her legacy as one of jazz's most influential figures. The Commodore Master Takes is a treasure trove for any fan of classic jazz, offering an intimate look at Holiday at her peak.

Cat: MOVLP 3893. Rel: 01 Apr 25
Review: Featuring the vibraphonist in peak form while interpreting seven jazz standards with remarkable interplay, this newly reissued vinyl celebrates the album's 40th anniversary, bringing fresh attention to an overlooked gem. Hutcherson's quartetifeaturing pianist George Cables, bassist Herbie Lewis and legendary drummer Philly Joe Jonesidelivers a session filled with warmth and dynamic expression. The set kicks off with Thelonious Monk's 'I Mean You', immediately showing the group's cohesion. Hutcherson's phrasing on 'All Of You' is adventurous and his delicate touch on 'Spring Is Here' highlights his lyrical sensitivity. The brisk tempo of 'Star Eyes' adds energy, while 'If I Were A Bell' features an engaging solo introduction from Hutcherson. Cables shines on 'Summertime' and the album closes with an exhilarating take on 'Autumn Leaves'. Hutcherson's vibes function much like a lead horn, evoking the spirit of classic jazz quartets. Cables' piano work is exceptional and an intricate yet fluid accompaniment. Jones, whose drumming, delivers an impeccable performanceihis crisp, swinging touch is a masterclass. Overall, a very underrated a jazz album being reissued to a new generation is always a reason to celebrate.

Collected (gatefold 180 gram audiophile vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: MOVLP 3771. Rel: 28 May 25
Review: There's more to US funk god Rick James than just 'Super Freak' and this sprawling retrospective proves it. Across four sides, the Buffalo-born musician's full-spectrum funk is on glorious display i from the righteous bounce of 'You & I' and weed-soaked romance of 'Mary Jane', to the hard-grinding grooves of 'Ghetto Life' and 'Give It To Me Baby'. The hits are all here, but so are deeper cuts like 'She Blew My Mind (69 Times)', 'Cold Blooded' and 'Can't Stop', showing off James's twisted humour, whip-smart arrangements and genre-bending instincts. Highlights like 'Glow', 'Dance Wit Me - Part 1' and the Temptations-featuring 'Standing On The Top' cement his reputation as a psychedelic soul innovator who consistently defied convention. Even the closing Busta Rhymes flip of 'In The Ghetto' feels earned i a nod to his lasting influence on rap and r&b. This isn't just a greatest hits i it's a flex, a time capsule and a reminder that Rick James could outplay, outsing and outfreak almost anyone.

Review: From their early jazz roots to their pop picking party time peak via their late 70s dabbles with disco, Kool & The Gang have dominated airwaves and dancefloors en mass for over 50 years, and this is one of most comprehensive collections of their work ever curated. Obviously all the big hits are present and correct but it's the lesser spotted (but still just as floor poking) jams that really make this collection shine; the hip wriggling "Slick Superchick", the swooning mournful chord changes of "Too Hot" and the sleaziest bassline they ever laid down in the form of "Higher Plane" are but three stone cold killing examples.

Review: Nara Leao takes a reflective journey through her musical career with this stunning double album, originally released in 1971.

The involvement of guitarist Tuca, known for her work with Francoise Hardy, adds another layer of depth to the recordings, her playing complementing Leao's vocals with sensitivity and grace.

Shrine (Expanded Edition) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile pink & purple marbled vinyl 2xLP + insert)
Cat: MOVLP 3333C. Rel: 09 Jul 24
Review: Dee C. Lee's debut solo album Shrine, released in 1986, showcases her soulful vocals and knack for 60s-styled ballads. Despite her success with the hit 'See The Day,' which reached #3 in 1985, the album itself failed to chart significantly. However, it remains a hidden gem, perfect for cool evenings with its New Wave/Pop Soul crossover style. This expanded reissue includes a bonus LP with 8 non-album tracks, including remixes like 'Wow Wow Mix' and 'Shrine (Club Mix).' Diane Catherine Sealy, who initially sang backup for Wham! and later joined The Style Council as a singer and Paul Weller's wife, shines on tracks like 'Shrine,' 'Hey What d' Ya Say?' and 'See the Day.' Cherry Pop's reissue offers a comprehensive collection of singles, B-sides, and remixes, showcasing Lee's talent beyond her hit. Overall, Shrine is a delightful album that deserves more recognition, offering a glimpse into Lee's artistry beyond her more well-known collaborations.

Past Lives: The Best Of The RCA Years (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile translucent yellow vinyl 2xLP + 4 page booklet)
Cat: MOVLP 3773C. Rel: 23 Apr 25
Review: A new compilation which looks to celebrate the unheralded period of hugely successful Isle of Wight pop/funk band Level 42, named that after their cult funk days in the early 80s and their chart-topping victories in the middle and end of the decade. Music on Vinyl helps celebrate their 90s years with this compilation that spans the albums Guaranteed (1991) and Forever Now (1994). Originally released in 2007, this limited edition 2xLP set, pressed on vibrant 180-gram yellow vinyl, highlights the band's unique blend of funk, pop and jazz influences, with a mix of infectious grooves and introspective lyrics. The first side opens with the title track, 'Past Lives', a slick funk-driven number that sets the tone for the compilation, followed by the energetic 'Guaranteed' and the introspective 'Overtime'. Tracks like 'My Father's Shoes' explore deeper emotional landscapes, while 'Forever Now' explores the band's ability to craft smooth, soulful anthems. Side three is a ideal, featuring the infectious 'Model Friend' and the jazzy 'Romance'. Meanwhile, 'One in a Million' is a perfect example of the band's ability to blend pop hooks with sophisticated arrangements. Side four closes the compilation on a high note with 'If You Were Mine', a catchy, uplifting finale. The four-page booklet provides context for this fruitful period in Level 42's career, and the limited yellow vinyl adds an extra layer of collectible charm.

Felicite Thosz (remastered) (180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3908. Rel: 04 Jun 25
Review: Studio album number 11 from legendary French outfit Magma, now reissued on 180g vinyl, marking a vital return to new composition after nearly three decades. Written by founder Christian Vander in the early 2000s and performed live for years before recording, the material fuses operatic vocals, rigid minimalism, and the band's signature invented language, Kobaian. 'Ekmah' and 'Teha' move like liturgical invocations, while the choral repetitions of 'Les Hommes Sont Venus' sound as if channelled from another realm entirely. Vander's drumming is restrained but authoritative, a quiet force guiding the momentum beneath 'Zahrr' and the ecstatic climax of 'Felicite Thosz'. There's a sense of ritualised propulsion throughout, as Magma treat rhythm not as groove but as mantra. It remains singular music: hermetic, alien, and undeniably spiritual - a rare return from a band that have always existed somewhere outside of time and genre.

Kohntarkosz Anteria (remastered) (gatefold 180 gram audiophile vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: MOVLP 3874. Rel: 18 Mar 25
Review: "Of all the many noble attempts of the prog rockers to create a grand compositional style which blended elements from classical music with rock, none, in my view, ever reached the intensity, complexity and raw savage excitement of the great Magma masterworks." When you make music that feels like the love child of a rock & roll musical, gospel choir, Frank Zappa and Ziggy Stardust, why should anyone expect you to be even remotely humble when describing your own back catalogue. Magma's 1974 epic is nothing short of batshit crazy in the true sense - bordering, perhaps sprinting well beyond, the point of genius and capable of rendering any room speechless. A stunning example of how wild, exploratory and experimental the music industry was once so proud to be.

Visions Of The Emerald Beyond (50th Anniversary Edition) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile orange vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 2205C. Rel: 29 Apr 25
Review: Mahavishnu Orchestra, a believably metaphysical force in the alternate plane that is jazz-rock fusion, released Visions Of The Emerald Beyond in 1975, indicating an accessible and funk-influenced approach compared to their earlier works. Through sprawling fusion fugues and shorter, more structured pieces, the record is, despite its compositional variety, a fadeless, seamless connected suite. 'Lila's Dance' stands tall among the movements especially, though 'Eternity's Breath' and 'Cosmic Strut' also abound in their sooling psychic projections, demoing the radical result of the shaken-up, second Mahavishnu lineup, with Mahavishnu himself, sometime Miles Davis ensemble guitarist, John McLaughlin remaining at the helm.

Wake Up Everybody (50th Anniversary Edition) (limited 180 gram audiophile dark green vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 411C. Rel: 15 Apr 25
Review: Pantechnicons of Philadelphia soul, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes reached their musical peak with Teddy Pendergrass between 1972 and 1975. Their 1975 album Wake Up Everybody hears Pendergrass' last vocal contribution to a band before he went solo; the record is filled with thought-provocations and gnomic lyrics, and became famous more by way of its covers than its originals. Returning the favour, 'Wake Up Everybody' was later covered by John Legend & The Roots, while 'Don't Leave Me This Way' became a disco classic thanks to the vamping vocal verves of Thelma Houston. This 750-copy 50th anniversary repress now comes with a special bonus: a rare 11-minute remix of 'Don't Leave Me This Way' by remixing pioneer Tom Moulton.

It's Rough Out There (reissue) (limited 180 gram audiophile yellow vinyl LP)
Cat: MOVLP 3651C. Rel: 28 Aug 24
Review: The Modulations released their album It's Rough Out Here in 1975, not only impressing both industry and laity with the singles 'Rough Out Here and 'I Can't Fight Your Love', but also spurring the considerable career of a funk quartet whose merit outdoes their reputation alone. The Modulations recorded extensively with MFSB, the house band of the famed record label Philadelphia International; these sessions yielded this album, one considered a gem of 1970s soul music. Exemplary of the long, wistful titles of the Philly funk era and beyond, the titular roughness of the record is also nonetheless embedded in a sea of audible Romance; the Modulations' hard knocks don't exclude the necessity of letting emotion in, with 'Head On Collision With Heartbreak' being an indelible example of this sense of being swept up in one's own emotions in the face of heartbreak, away from the perseverance aesthetics of "gritty" realism one might expect from a title like this.
