(Return from the moon)
A New Nay (Return from the moon) It had been a long time since RHM had actually stepped out from the back-room to go into publishing. It is with great pleasure that he took over from DRAKKAR to produce the digipack of a complete album (14 titles) of the LORD THE BOVVER BOYS’ successors. The lads and lassies masterfully fulfil their mission. The duets between Myr and Lord are totally intoxicating and inevitably lead us to the ceaseless call of the Mummy, indeed they announce to all and sundry that : Yes, they’re leaving !

On this production, the master of work was also the coproducer, Petrez Gramophon. But what pleasure it was to participate in this kind of adventure with an old veteran of French Rock’n Roll such as THE Schultz from Parabellum! Nine standards of jazz, 60’s rock, punk, reggae and ska revisited in a rock fashion. For a memorable result. And for once, it’s actually the vinyl which preceeds the CD release. According to unofficial sources, a second volume should be on its way.

THE big revelation of 2004 Dance Ska La edition. A shooting star in the French ska scene with a clever mixture of skinhead reggae, ska, soul and even a pinch of funk. An assured male voice offers a contrast with the pleaide of charming young ladies which so often delight our ears. A ground perfectly covered by the Rennes people, Banana publishing the CD version, RHM keeping for himself the best cuts ;-)

To cut short the questions, let’s say at once that John James and the Soulmakers is a bit like Dave Straps without the Radiatorettes but with a Dje who swaps his drum kit for a microphone. As a result, the major influence which strikes the spirit is not any more Millie Small but both Jackie Mitoo and Toots. The combo is becoming big enough for its boots, making an even progress.

We were really glad to propose this third album of the Western Specials. On one hand because the Reims crowd is always of a matchless kindness and because on the other hand with this album they have reached a musical maturity which matches the on-scene performances they’ve given for years and it puts them among the best European groups.

It’s a big honour for Lean on Me and RHM that the pillars of the activist punk / ska / rock that The Partisans used to be ask us to bring out their farewell 45 rpm. We went to a great deal of trouble to get the quantity of titles right. A bizarre feeling at the same time full of pride and sadness.

Naturally, Dave Straps and the Radiators being from Rennes, it was only normal that their first record should be released by a Rennes label. Especially since the history of this group is already very long and punctuated with numerous changes of line up which slightly hampered its progress. But there, after a failed EP (test pressings were nevertheless made), the effort is a masterstroke. A rare assurance, original compositions and dubs that alternate, the titles including varied accents and multiple voices going from the US like crooner to Millie Small ... Breton version.

This LP really gave us great difficulty. Lean On Me, LoPanier and Red Head Man had dreamed about the CD version of this second album of the ASPO, it almost turned into a nightmare. First of all, the selection of the titles was a real torture. Indeed, the CD version containing 14 titles and over 65 minutes of music, we had to remove 4 titles and retain only the maximum 50 minutes accepted on a vinyl support

This LP is typically born from an agreement and a total cohesion between Western Special, LoPanier and Red Head Man. They’ve known each other for quite a long time and their roads have already crossed on multiple occasions. This record is the perfect example of what the label wishes to continue to produce, that is to say non expensive records that reward those who make them us much as those who listen to them.

This record is the fruit of inclinations and passion. The inclination of Orange Street to take up with a tradition which had slightly got lost in France of publishing 45 rpm records and putting instrumental versions on side B just like their illustrious Jamaican idols. The desire not to stop along the way and give a follow up to the 1999 Dance Ska La. The desire for the managers of Lean On Me! And of Red Head Man to bring about a first concerted action, with sincere links and a common vision of activist and disinterested production and distribution.
