Raising hell

This week's releases simply tear the roof off! Ready? Go...

RUN-DMC - RAISING HELL

Run-DMC Raising Hell Music On Vinyl LPFollowing the success of King Of Rock [MOVLP675], Raising Hell (1986) raised more than just a massive revenue stream by selling over three million albums worldwide. Too many classics on this one: "Peter Piper", "It's Tricky" and the song that popularized a certain brand of shoes in the Hip Hop community, "My Adidas".

However the album's flag bearer is undoubtedly "Walk This Way" which literally rendered Aerosmith's original version obsolete. The album's timeless quality surfaces in its ability to bring together masses of fans of both genres.

TIM HARDIN - BIRD ON A WIRE

Tim Hardin - Bird On A Wire Music On Vinyl LPTim Hardin is mostly known for writing and recording songs that other artists had great success with, like the timeless classic "If I Were A Carpenter". Hardin's own recording career is arguably one of the music industry's best kept secrets.

On Bird On A Wire (1971), Hardin mixes his own compositions ("Soft Summer Breeze", "Moonshiner", "Southern Butterfly") with covers such as the title track (written by Leonard Cohen) and a beautiful rendition of the classic "Georgia On My Mind". Essential material for fans of Tim Buckley and Leonard Cohen.
