Kimberlin

Taking its name from the local word for an outsider or "foreigner", the short film Kimberlin was filmed on location during the months following the advisory referendum of 2016 which lead to the current, purgatory state of "Brexi…

KPM Jazz Conventions
**500 copies, 2019 stock** "Of all the KPM LPs issued, the most illusive are three Jazz Convention LPs by the Poll winning Clarke-Boland Big Band. They form part of a series of four unusual “International” LPs with the unique "INT" catalogue prefix (starting with John Mayer's Indo-Jazz Interpolations) but all have the standard KPM cube or 1000 series style sleeves.I have no history as to why or how three Clarke-Boland LPs were put together for a music library, but I assume someone at KPM decided…

Inspiration Information
**2019 stock** "Information belongs to the mind. It can be gathered, coded, processed and decoded, and used for any number of purposes. Inspiration comes from the soul. It is an elusive spark, one that cannot be bought or sold, nor artificially triggered. It is a gift. That the two can be combined into something quietly exciting is proven by the music on this, Shuggie Otis's third solo album. There is some old (several of the basic tracks were recorded over the last two years), and some new (for…
