Super lounge Christmas cosiness featuring Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, ad a host of other smooth legends. Fix yourself a festive fancy, slip into a silk robe, and slink about the place like you're a '50s Modernist swinger. Lovely!

In collaboration with Scott King, we celebrate the appearance of - in 1984, at the height of the Miners Strike - on C4' The Tube of The Redskins - the greatest punk/soul band of that era. Of any era.

The band ripped through 2 fierce tracks - but it was most memorable for a speech by a striking miner - Norman Strike. You could see him spitting out his words with a passion. You just couldn't hear him. The mic had been switched off. It was, after all, 1984.

You hear the speech at the beginning of this tape - then we have musical interpretation from Autumns, Blue 0161, Laudanum, Richard Vergez & Halfnelson.

Shades of Soul explores the sophisticated side of Northern Soul with a smooth collection of soulful recordings that have, over time, become known as “Crossover”; a bridge between Northern Soul and Philly disco. Here we have perennial dancefloor favourites from Gene Townsel, Johnny Adams, Eddie Billups and Jackey Beavers plus more recent reactivations such as “I’ve Just Got To Tell Somebody” by Gloria Lynne thanks to DJ Richard Searling. We also feature the rarest of the rare courtesy of Point Of View, The Harmonics and Gerald Taylor. Sixteen mid and uptempo grooves that showcase the crossover from Northern to Modern Soul.

Amazing compilation of killer fuzz cuts, wigged out psychedelic gems, and so much more! This is one of our favourite releases from RSD20, so don't miss out on this one.

Decaying Spheres' second release is an international effort from some of the labels favourite artists. The tape drifts seamlessly between ten deep ambient cuts, offering a tasteful eclectic mix.

Decaying Spheres presents an essential release from artists 01 Ambience and Ozyorsk. Hidden Shelters featured as the soundtrack to an intimate audio installation, narrating the personal accounts of four LGBT refugees.

Traversing the dark undertones that bind the stories of those refugees together, Hidden Shelters draws a parallel on the emotions evoked by the individuals. These minimal compositions carefully create a feeling of anxiety, isolation and paranoia. Ominous analogue synths, isolated arpeggiators and dense pads are layered with field recordings of Manchester, forming a unique ambient landscape.

Hidden Shelters first premiered as part of Manchester International Festival 2019, elevating the unique journeys of people directly affected by the international LGBT refugee and homeless crisis. The event gave the individuals a platform to share their stories and raise awareness about the issue through first-hand interviews.

The project is supported by a grant from Superbia at Manchester Pride. Superbia Grants provide financial support for LGBT events as part of Manchester Pride’s commitment to the quality and diversity of cultural events taking place throughout the year in Greater Manchester.

The Freakbeat Scene brings together 25 remarkable tracks, virtually all of them much sought after on original Decca/Deram 45s. Save yourself money and buy this loving compiled 2 x LP set in heavyweight 180 gm vinyl. The Freakbeat sound, was mainly a sub-genre of late 1960s UK rock and roll, which many of the artists, and their styles, went on to become a larger part of British music history. Includes early recordings from the Attack, the Birds, Marc Bolan and the Small Faces.

Vinyl selection from the track laden CD.  Great little selection includes the Johnny Clarke cut to Pablo's towering 555 Crown Street rhythm, Thord World's ever popular Roots With Quality and Jacob Miller's effervescent variation on I'm Just A Guy alongside classic tunes that just seem to sound better as they grow older!

Dancing Down Orange Street is a collection of some of Sonia Pottinger's famous productions for different artists. The album captures the moment when Rocksteady transformed into Reggae by speeding up a little and moving towards a more jerky and less smooth musical palette.

During the Library Music heyday of the 60s and 70s, thousands of original instrumental tracks were produced across a broad range of genres for companies like Cavendish, who then created vinyl and tape collections, often arranged by theme or mood, for their customers in radio, television and film. Cult British TV shows such as The Sweeney and The Professionals as well as documentaries and feature films relied heavily on these catalogues, and companies like KPM, De Wolfe and Boosey & Hawkes went a long way toward defining the sound of British popular culture at the time.

Never commercially available, music created for these libraries that never made it to the promised land of TV or Radio was destined to languish in Cavendish Music’s vast London vault; only recently unearthed by a new generation of DJs and producers searching for rare gems or a perfect sample.

PUMPKIN RECORDS is proud to be one of seven UK labels who have teamed up to co-release PULSEBEAT, a stunning 42 minute / 17 track compilation album featuring 6 minutes or thereabouts of bands from each label's roster, inspired and compiled by Wayne Elliott (whose internet punk radio show GlobalPunkRadio the comp is named after).

The 70’s cult horror film The Wicker Man has a folk soundtrack that is still popular enough to inspire covers by current artists, including the beautiful “Willow’s Song”. This edition was originally released in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the film and the vinyl was launched at a special Halloween screening at the Hackney Picturehouse. The 40th Anniversary Edition has a different track listing to the preceding OST double album, selecting only the songs to make a single (as opposed to the original double) LP.
