New single “MOVIN ON” available now on Parlophone/Warner Bros. Records August 1, 2018 (Los Angeles, Ca) – Paul Weller released a new single entitled “Movin On” from his eagerly awaited forthcoming album True Meanings, set for global release on September 14th. True Meanings is Weller’s fourteenth solo album and twenty-sixth studio album during his incredible career and the first new music since 2017’s internationally acclaimed album A Kind Revolution. The lush, string-laden “Movin On” is out now and showcases Weller’s vocals at their very best. The track came about as the result of a “scratchy demo” on his phone that was sent to producer Tom Doyle of the White Label project, who co-wrote the track with Weller along with fellow White Label cohort Anth Brown (who also contributes bass to the track). Talking about this process, Weller explains: “I’m never, ever too proud to give a song over to someone else, to see what they might be able to bring to it: that’s what it’s about really, I always want to see what people can add to my ideas. The older you get, and the more stuff you’ve done, the more important that is.” Click here to view and share the “Movin On” lyric video “Movin On” follows another new song from True Meanings, “Aspects”, which was released on May 25th to mark Weller’s 60th birthday. Click here to view and share the “Aspects” lyric video True Meanings is available for pre-order now. Fans who pre-order the album will receive instant downloads of both “Movin On” and “Aspects”.

VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommendation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth. She subsequently studied with de Reszke him- self and appeared with him at the Paris Opéra, making her debut as Gounod’s Juliette.

PRESSEMITTEILUNG 07.03.2017 Paul Weller Im
FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 07.03.2017 Paul Weller im Frühsommer auf Tour The „Modfather“ is back! Paul Weller ist zweifellos einer der profiliertesten und pophistorisch bedeutendsten Figuren der britischen Musikszene. Der 1958 in Surrey als John William Weller geborene Sänger, Komponist und Gitarrist hat bereits mehrere in sich geschlossene Kreativ-Phasen durchlaufen. Von 1976 bis 1982 war er der Kopf von The Jam, der Band rund um die britische Mod-Kultur, die eine neue Eleganz in die Rockmusik brachte. Hier wurde die Attitüde des Punk vermählt mit der dunklen Schönheit des New Wave – The Jam gelten damit als Wegbereiter für Genres, die sich bis heute weiter ausformulieren. Anschließend gründete er mit dem Jazz-Pianisten Mick Talbot die Band The Style Council, die zwischen 1983 und 1989 die wohl edelste aller Pop-Darstellungen umsetzte und ihre extrem eleganten Songs stets mit einer Prise Jazz würzten. Ihr finales Album mit dem programmatischen Titel „Confessions of a Pop Group“ gilt zugleich als Höhepunkt und Fanal für die besondere Pop-Ästhetik der 80er-Jahre. Seit den beginnenden 90er-Jahren arbeitet Paul Weller solo – und hat sich auch in dieser Zeit immer wieder neu erfunden. Mal widmete er sich dem klassischen Folk, dann wieder nahm er eine raue Rockplatte auf oder widmete sich auf Albumlänge ausgefeilten Coverversionen seiner persönlichen Lieblingssongs. Mit jedem Album – exakt ein Dutzend Soloalben entstanden seit 1992 – fächerte sich sein Stil wie auch seine Fanbasis weiter auf. Unverkennbar blieb dabei jedoch jederzeit diese besondere Stimme, die selbst der Zufallshörer unmittelbar als ein selten markantes und eindringliches Organ identifizieren kann.

Bc Salsa: Identity,Musicianshipand Performance in Vancouver’Safro-Latinorchestras
BC SALSA: IDENTITY, MUSICIANSHIP AND PERFORMANCE IN VANCOUVER’S AFRO-LATIN ORCHESTRAS by MALCOLM Al KEN B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2009 © Malcolm Aiken, 2009 11 ABSTRACT For over twenty-five years, musicians, dancers and singers of Afro-Latin music have maintained an active presence in the culturally diverse music scene of Vancouver, BC. During this time, the music performed and created by this group of artists has undergone dynamic changes in sound and function, reflecting a new transcultural music identity. This music, commonly referred to as salsa, is being created, performed and transformed by musicians of all backgrounds and social classes. Local composers are incorporating a variety of musical influences into their music and assimilating elements of the city’s music cultures. Today, an eclectic mix of musicians in Vancouver are creating new forms of music rooted in the Afro-Latin music traditions, and are establishing a unique contemporary musical scene. At the forefront of salsa’s local history are the Afro-Latin dance bands prominent in the city’s dance community. Their impact on the musicians and local music culture has been paramount and pivotal to the exposure of salsa to a mainstream Canadian audience. One prominent factor in the continued growth of the music has been the influence of the many non—Latino musicians who have assimilated into the salsa community as performers. Their musical and cultural influences have helped push the music in new directions and maintained the music’s relevance within the wider arts community.

WARNER BROS. / WEA RECORDS 1970 to 1982
AUSTRALIAN RECORD LABELS WARNER BROS. / WEA RECORDS 1970 to 1982 COMPILED BY MICHAEL DE LOOPER © BIG THREE PUBLICATIONS, APRIL 2019 WARNER BROS. / WEA RECORDS, 1970–1982 A BRIEF WARNER BROS. / WEA HISTORY WIKIPEDIA TELLS US THAT... WEA’S ROOTS DATE BACK TO THE FOUNDING OF WARNER BROS. RECORDS IN 1958 AS A DIVISION OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES. IN 1963, WARNER BROS. RECORDS PURCHASED FRANK SINATRA’S REPRISE RECORDS. AFTER WARNER BROS. WAS SOLD TO SEVEN ARTS PRODUCTIONS IN 1967 (FORMING WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS), IT PURCHASED ATLANTIC RECORDS AS WELL AS ITS SUBSIDIARY ATCO RECORDS. IN 1969, THE WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS COMPANY WAS SOLD TO THE KINNEY NATIONAL COMPANY. KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL (LATER CHANGING ITS NAME TO WARNER COMMUNICATIONS) COMBINED THE OPERATIONS OF ALL OF ITS RECORD LABELS, AND KINNEY CEO STEVE ROSS LED THE GROUP THROUGH ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1994. IN 1969, ELEKTRA RECORDS BOSS JAC HOLZMAN APPROACHED ATLANTIC'S JERRY WEXLER TO SET UP A JOINT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK FOR WARNER, ELEKTRA, AND ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC RECORDS ALSO AGREED TO ASSIST WARNER BROS. IN ESTABLISHING OVERSEAS DIVISIONS, BUT RIVALRY WAS STILL A FACTOR —WHEN WARNER EXECUTIVE PHIL ROSE ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA TO BEGIN SETTING UP AN AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDIARY, HE DISCOVERED THAT ONLY ONE WEEK EARLIER ATLANTIC HAD SIGNED A NEW FOUR-YEAR DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH FESTIVAL RECORDS. IN MARCH 1972, KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL WAS RENAMED WEA MUSIC INTERNATIONAL. DURING THE 1970S, THE WARNER GROUP BUILT UP A COMMANDING POSITION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. IN 1970, IT BOUGHT ELEKTRA (FOUNDED BY HOLZMAN IN 1950) FOR $10 MILLION, ALONG WITH THE BUDGET CLASSICAL MUSIC LABEL NONESUCH RECORDS.
