They lived up to their name (or “Bad Reputation”) as patriotic warriors defending the stars & stripes on and off stage. Their self-titled album Damn Yankees is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on silver coloured vinyl.

The Amsterdam blues-rock band Fatal Flowers can be seen as one of the best Dutch export products from the 1980s. Their album Johnny D. Is Back! was produced by ex-Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson and recorded in Woodstock (USA). John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful) plays an excellent harmonica solo on the song “Second Chance”, and the title track. This release is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on yellow vinyl. In celebration of their reunion tour, we're releasing special editions of their albums Younger Days and Pleasure Ground. Both available as limited tour editions of 300 individually numbered copies on transparent green (Pleasure Ground) and transparent (Younger Days) vinyl.

The soundtrack to Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning film Forrest Gump contains music from many well-known artists. It is a travelogue of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, from Elvis Presley's 1956 hit "Hound Dog" to Bob Seger's 1980 hit "Against the Wind." Now available as a 25th Anniversary edition of 5000 individually numbered copies on transparent red (LP1) and transparent blue vinyl (LP2), with an embossed cover. The soundtrack from Imitation Game is composed by Golden Globe and Grammy Award-winning French composer Alexandre Desplat, who burst onto the Hollywood scene in 2003 with his evocative score to Girl With The Pearl Earring. This title is available as a pressing of 500 individually numbered copies on transparent vinyl. Composer James Horner created a new suite of light and dark music to represent the ”soul” of his music to the Titanic. The Back to Titanic package includes a 4-page booklet, replicas of the original Titanic launch card and boarding pass, and got a gatefold sleeve with metallic embossing. This is an extremely limited edition of 500 copies on purple vinyl.

LEE ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY - JAMAICAN E.T.

Lee 'Scratch' Perry's return to his most spaced-out work, that marks his 2002 comeback album Jamaican E.T. The extra-terrestrial is back with some groovy reggae which creates a bridge between dub, roots and hip hop. But in the end, it never ventures too far away from the traditional reggae.
