THE TEA PARTY
The Ocean At The End (Released Sept 8,
Anthem/Sony)
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since
they’ve brought out anything, so raise
your pinky fingers and sip up the sounds
on The Ocean At The End, the new studio
album which apparently has Byron Bay to
thank for hosting the Canadian trio when
they started writing the album last year.
Produced by Jeff Martin, and mixed by
three-time Grammy winner David Bottrill
(Peter Gabriel, Muse, Tool), you’ll hear it in
the flesh when they tour OZ in October.
Gigs: Gold Coast, Coolangatta Hotel, Oct 21and Brisbane, The Tivoli, Oct 23
JIMI HENDRIX
The Cry of Love &
Rainbow Bridge (Vinyl
out Oct 24, Sony)
Two classic out-of-print Jimi
Hendrix albums are making
a comeback. Digital and CD
versions of The Cry of Love
and Rainbow Bridge were just
released on September 19,
but if you really want to hug
it, there’ll be vinyl soon. The
bulk of all the tracks on both
were recorded between
December 1969 and the
summer of 1970 at Electric an ambitious double LP
Lady Studios in New York, and that never eventuated
were intended to be part of after Hendrix died in 1970.
THE KINKS
The Anthology 1964 – 1971 (Out Nov 7, Sony)
On September 10th 1964, half a century ago, the
Kinks had their first number one with the classic
You Really Got Me and now you can grab another
piece of this rock ‘n roll history in a box set of five
discs to celebrate the 50th anniversary, featuring
over 100 songs, all newly remastered. Not to
mention rare demos, interviews, alternate mixes,
session outtakes, 25 previously unavailable tracks,
an exclusive 7” single and extensive liner notes.
