J.S. Bach - The St. Matthew Passion [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/10/2015

Double vinyl LP pressing. 29-track collection of every A- and B-side from Edmunds' years on Swan Song Records. Featuring material written by and with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Bob Seger, John Fogerty, Chuck Berry, Graham Parker, Huey Lewis, Rodgers & Hart, and more. After hitting the charts in 1968, Dave Edmunds began a spectacular career as a writer, performer, and producer. Signing with Swan Song Records, all of the pieces of the puzzle would fit into place. Beginning with InchHere Comes The WeekendInch (co-written with Nick Lowe), Dave began a stellar run on the charts, showcasing his propensity for, and ability to bring a InchclassicInch sound back to the airwaves, and to remember where all of those sounds came from. Swan Songs The Singles 1976-1981 reveals the magic of the 7Inch singe in a way that has yet to be explored. 39 tracks, covering every A- and B-side from that period, guide the listener through that pivotal time when listeners heard what they liked and liked what they heard. Swan Songs The Singles 1976-1981 is truly the definitive look at Dave Edmunds the artist-whether with his incredible guitar tone, his signature production style, or his ability to make every song distinctive, and truly his own. Take the (swan) dive.

Utopia, Gwenno's fourth solo album, is an extraordinary exploration of her continuously evolving self. If the singer regards her first three solo records 2014's y Dydd Olaf, 2018's Le Kov and 2022's Tresor as Inchchildhood recordsInch, rooted in her upbringing, her parents, her formative identity, then Utopia captures a time of self-determination and experimentation. These are songs of discovery, of the years between being someone's daughter and becoming someone's wife and someone's mother. They range from floor-fillers to piano ballads, via contributions from Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favorite Edrica Huws poem, and the Number 73 bus. It is her finest work to date.
