DESCRIPTION
A hard rock mash up - Bandleader Paul Ngozi's split album with his drummer and co-vocalist Chrissy Zebby Tembo . LP includes oversized 8p. booklet detailing Ngozi’s arc, rare photographs, discography and annotations. Released under license from the Estate of Paul Nyirongo.
“Zambia's Zamrock movement that exploded in the 1970s ... provided young musicians access to European and American music, and created a unique sound. At its root, Zamrock melded fuzz-toned psychedelia, chugging garage rock and roiling funk with a broad mix of African cadences and beats.... enlivening a scene that included bands like Musi O Tunya, Amanaz and the Ngozi Family.” — The New York Times
Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene, with albums released through independent labels based in Zambia. This music scene was complete, encompassing the genres of rock, acid folk, fusion, Afro-beat, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies. It quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name. WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent or elsewhere. 
Now-Again has been reissuing the essential records from the Zamrock scene since 2010. Heavy Connection (1978) is part of an extensive campaign centered around Paul Ngozi and his band.

DESCRIPTION
“Libre – Free” is the now legendary second album by the short-lived Brooklyn Sounds and is arguably even better than their self-titled debut, displaying a more mature and practiced sound, no doubt honed by their experiences playing more gigs in support of their first record.
Brooklyn Sounds were one of a handful of garage salsa bands from the independent scene that was gathering steam in the early 1970s in the New York boroughs, despite little support or exposure in the mainstream Latin music industry from more dominant labels like Fania, Mericana, Cotique and Alegre. As with many others, Brooklyn Sounds briefly fluoresced in a burst of creativity and defiance, yet flamed out shortly thereafter, dying like a flower among the ruins of burned-out apartment blocks in the barrios of its home city.
Though the band only cut two LPs and a couple singles in their brief half-decade of existence, and never really broke out of the cuchifrito circuit in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, their music gradually spread far and wide, eventually becoming a sought-after global commodity by the late 1990s.
In contrast to the first album “Libre – Free” is uptempo and ebullient, with fewer slow songs and more confident, creative arrangements, full of heavy Nuyorican underground salsa dura propelled by raw trombones, off-kilter piano and in-your-face percussion. Standout tracks include the uplifting, anthemic ‘Libre soy’, and ‘Ha llegado el momento’, with its minor key ‘Moliendo café’ quote at the beginning—both of which have become dance floor anthems over the years. Another mid-tempo killer is ‘Guaguancó tropical’, a favorite in Colombia since the 1970s.

Aguaturbia’s second LP “Volumen 2” (1970) is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock.
The album is as raw and dynamic as their debut LP, featuring even heavier rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn. Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock.
We are thrilled to make this outstanding LP available again after many years out of stock.

A4 WATERFALL
B1 WELL ALL RIGHT

B3 EVOL
B4 AGUATURBIA

DESCRIPTION
Aguaturbia’s debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America's most significant psychedelic bands from the late 60s and early 70s. Their influence in their native Chile —and beyond— was groundbreaking.
In July that same year the band recorded this “Volumen 2” that delivers even heavier intensity than their debut LP. As expected, this album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn. Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock.
The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like the psych-blues ‘Heartbreaker’ or ‘I Wonder Who’ where guitarist Carlos Corales shines. When he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. Other outstanding songs are ‘Blues On The Westside’, ‘Waterfall’ and the magnificent ‘Well All Right’.
Controversy accompanies the release of the album once again. In this case the cover artwork, a tribute to Salvador Dalí, scandalizes the most conservative sector of Chilean society.
"Volumen 2" is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock.

Marcos Valle is one of the few artists you cannot miss if you have the slightest interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste is focused on bossa jazz, samba, psych folk or soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. By the late 60s he had already put out enough quality records to secure a place within the top Brazilian songwriters of all time, but his career luckily did not stop there and he continued releasing amazing music over the following decades until this day.
By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d’état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baião (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock.
“Marcos Valle” was originally released in 1970 and features a dynamic musical backing from some of Brazil’s most gifted players. Hip-hop fans may even recognize the opening horn blasts of ‘Ele E Ela,’ sampled to great effect on Jay-Z’s “Thank You.”

TRACKLIST
A - Dennis Walks, Belly Lick
B - Drumbago & The Blenders, The Game Song

DESCRIPTION
"Belly Lick" was originally released in 1968 on the Blue Cat label. "Belly Lick" is a wicked, fast-paced track that fuses early Reggae with the infectious drive of Mento. The call-and-response vocals and raw, party-like intensity make this track a standout piece of vintage Jamaican fire and a great nod to Jamaica’s traditional folk music roots. The track's quality and rarity has made it a very coveted item among Reggae vinyl collectors.
The party continues with the energetic and wild "Game Song", a wicked instrumental track difficult to describe. Its relentless pace and goofy but intricated orchestral madness suggest the soundtracks for a black and white animated cartoon from the 30s but in a Jamaican way! It is a perfect B Side for the outstanding "Belly Lick" especially considering that "The Game Song" was also written by Dennis Walks. Sadly it was the only known collaboration between Dennis Walks and Drumbago due to Drumbago untimely death in 1969.

A - Haunted House

DESCRIPTION
"Haunted House" was originally released in 1970 on the Upsetter label in Jamaica and later on Trojan Records in the UK. Originally composed as "Spinning Wheel" by David Clayton-Thomas, "Haunted House" transforms the brilliant but weird psych soul jazz funk hit into an even weirder reggae instrumental, driven by syncopated rolling basslines and hypnotic skanking groove. The track is a wicked Upsetters’ production, blending haunting elements with a driving reggae rhythm.
"Double Wheel" was released as a B Side to “Haunted House” on the original single and serves as a perfect complement to the A Side. Like "Haunted House," "Double Wheel" is an instrumental adaptation of the song "Spinning Wheel” similar to the A Side but featuring a mesmerizing organ.
Both tracks are prime examples of Lee Perry’s early work before he fully transitioned into the deep, psychedelic dub that would define his later years. This reissue brings these wicked gems back to light, allowing a new generation of Reggae enthusiasts to experience their brilliance.

DESCRIPTION
Pure, unfiltered, and unrelenting—A Different Kind of Payne is a masterclass in lyrical proficiency, delivered with reckless abandonment by RJ Payne and fueled by the cinematic, hard-hitting production of Long Island’s own BP Infinite. This is a no- frills, no-features, all-bars affair, where Payne goes scorched earth over BP’s menacing soundscapes, proving once again why he’s one of the most feared lyricists in the game.
Following the success of his star-studded producer album Kill or Be Killed—which boasts features from Redman, Skyzoo, Cory Gunz, Tragedy Khadafi, Nature, E L U C I D, and Payne himself—BP Infinite flips the script with an entirely singular vision. Here, he crafts a sonic battlefield tailor-made for RJ’s relentless delivery, weaving gritty, soulful samples, hard-hitting percussion, and cinematic arrangements into an immersive listening experience.
For RJ Payne, A Different Kind of Payne comes on the heels of an unstoppable run, stacking bodies on projects like Hellraiser, GUTTR (alongside Ras Kass & Havoc), They Live (produced by Bucky Luger), and most recently 3 PIECE, crafted by the legendary Erick Sermon. With each release, Payne has continued to raise the stakes, and this project only solidifies his status as a top-tier bar assassin.
Released in partnership between Beautiful Payment Entertainment and Common Virtue Records, A Different Kind of Payne is raw, unapologetic hip-hop at its finest—a brutal display of elite lyricism and masterful production, leaving no room for mercy.

Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene: on the African continent, only Nigeria can claim one so comprehensive, and Nigeria's was largely catalyzed and funded by subsidiaries of the European major labels. Zamrock was as independent as its newly-named country, formerly known as Northern Rhodesia.
Zamrock is startling in its completeness, especially for a scene that emerged, unfurled, and disappeared so quickly. From Musi-O-Tunya's fusion of Fela's Afro-beat, Hendrix's rock, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies and rhythms to Salty Dog's acid folk/rock, Zambia's rock scene contained all of rock's subgenres.
Zamrock was much more than an imitation of American and European rock music: it quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name. WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent - or elsewhere.
Zamrock came from a nation's youth carrying forth the momentum of a political and social revolution with a musical revolution that maintained the fiery power of early rock - in the mid-to late-'70s. From that era, Zamrock's energy is matched only by the punk and hip hop scenes of England and America.

DESCRIPTION
“In my category, I’m the one and only,” proclaimed Oakland legend Too $hort on his 1990 single “Short But Funky.” Few disagreed then, and even fewer would do so decades later. First appearing in the mid-1980s, slinging homemade tapes out of his car trunk, the man born Todd Shaw has always stayed true to himself. Although he is known more for the dirty side of his rap game, on “Short But Funky,” he also reminds listeners of an important fact: “There’s a serious side to everything I say.” Short Dog’s In The House, was $hort’s sixth studio album, and his second for the Jive label. By the time it hit, he was a West Coast legend, but his rep was growing Eastwards, as the rest of the country started opening its ears to new sounds. Peaking at #20 on the national Billboard 200 chart, the album was exactly what his dedicated fans expected funky, 70s drenched beats made for cars on the boulevard, and no nonsense lyrics that made more sense and dropped more knowledge than he was ever given credit for. For examples of his conscious side, look no further than the P-Funk fueled “It’s Your Life” or the album’s lead single, “The Ghetto.” The album’s second single “Short But Funky” landed somewhere in the middle of $hort and Todd Shaw, talking about where he was at as the new decade broke, and making it clear that he wasn’t going anywhere. His mortality was mainly on his mind after rumors had surfaced the year before that he had died in a crack house. He speaks directly to this crazy episode on “Dead Or Alive.” And although it’s mostly a solo affair, he brings in some heavy artillery and a lot of not for the kids profanity on “Ain’t Nothin’ But A Word To Me,” featuring none other than Ice Cube In between, $hort distributed plenty of tales and charisma for fans to eat up, continuing to build his legendary status as one of the rap trailblazers of the era.

The album stays rooted in the UK, with guest appearances exclusively from British emcees, including Jehst, P4VAN, Juga-Naut, Farma G and Beny Laylo. "No Vi$ible Means of Income 3" is a testament to the UK hip-hop scene’s raw talent and the potent chemistry between Sonnyjim’s razor-sharp rhymes and Giallo Point’s masterful production. This is gritty, sophisticated street rap with a distinctly British edge.

DESCRIPTION
When CRIMEAPPLE and Big Ghost Ltd first linked up on their "Aguardiente" collaboration in 2016, the two came to shake the game up. The iconic Antioqueño bottle left a mark in underground hip-hop that still stands strong to this day, and to follow up they cooked up the deadliest material to do that once again with "Bazuko".
Named after the deadliest and most addictive street drug in Colombia, basuco, the album embodies the raw, uncut and unfiltered essence of their artistic process, much like the gritty remnants of cocaine paste.
CRIMEAPPLE's razor-sharp lyricism cuts through Big Ghost Ltd's masterful, hard-hitting beats, creating a visceral, addictive and immersive soundscape. With "Bazuko," the two aren't just following up on "Aguardiente"; they're raising the stakes, delivering a project that is as potent and unforgettable as its namesake.

DESCRIPTION
The 90s were all about Hip-Hop groups. Brooklyn’s Junior M.A.F.I.A., consisting of mem- bers Lil’ Kim, Lil’ Cease, Trife, Larceny, Nino Brown, Chico Del Vec, MC Klepto, Capone, and Bugsy, formed under the guidance of The Notorious B.I.G. after he released his clas- sic debut album Ready To Die. At the end of the summer of 1995, Junior M.A.F.I.A. released their debut album Conspiracy on Big Beat Records featuring the lead single “Player’s Anthem” which featured Biggie and was produced by the late great DJ Clark Kent. Clark Kent produced three other songs including the second single “I Need You Tonight” featuring Biggie’s wife Faith Evans on the chorus. The third single, “Get Money”, another Biggie feature produced by EZ Elpee with it’s classic flip of the Roy Ayers Orduced Sylvia Striplin track “You Can’t Turn Me Away” was certified platinum. With eight members deep, it was difficult to stand out, but Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Cease would be the break- outr stars and go on to release solo albums. The group disbanded after Notorious B.I.G. was murdered in 1997, but left behind songs that still hold up today and remain a big part of Biggie’s legacy, as well as producer DJ Clark Kent -RIP
Out of print on vinyl since 2017, Get On Down is proud to present this 90s Hip-Hop classic as a limited edition reissue preesed on splatter colored vinyl and packaged in a gatefold jacket.

DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the Dr Dre classic, The Chronic, the concept for this release was to bridge gaps between generations, as well as coasts, while showing love to the album that introduced the world to Death Row Records. The Chronic is a timeless masterpiece that shifted not only the trajectory of Hip Hop culture at the tail end of 1992, but the entire scope of the music industry from that point on. It’s telling when an album that was recorded 3 decades ago can still provide a template for art created today, which is precisely what Big Ghost Ltd has done here. 38 Spesh & Conway are reputed spitters, who have displayed ease with rhyming over everything from dusty loops to contemporary trap beats. The fact that they can sound this naturally compelling over vintage G-funk beats is a testament to their undeniable talents.

DESCRIPTION
Rising musical visionary Reuben Vaun Smith's latest album, Land of Music, is a vibrant and atmospheric collection of tracks that transport listeners to a tropical soundscape of chilled beats, lush synths, and laid-back vocal musings. Remarkably, Smith recorded the entire album aboard a fishing trawler docked in a marina in Gibraltar, transforming the tight space into a creative sanctuary. Blending dreamy synthesizer pads, groovy beats, and smooth vocals, Land of Music evokes a relaxing, high-vibe journey from start to finish. Collaborations on the album enhance its eclectic sound, with standout performances from vocalist Lucy Saddler, who lends her ethereal voice to “Lost in Space” and the title track “Land of Music.” Additionally, labelmate and guitar virtuoso Chico Mann brings his signature funky guitar licks, infusing the album with fresh energy and dynamic flair. Smith’s Land of Music offers listeners an imaginative escape from the everyday, a vibrant sonic retreat that balances experimentalism with a deep sense of relaxation. Visually, it's paired perfectly with the striking album art courtesy of Brazil-based artists Uinverso, comprised of sisters Nadiuska and Priscila Furtado. Whether you’re tuning in on a quiet evening or drifting through a sun-soaked day, this album promises to be the perfect soundtrack for living the good life.

DESCRIPTION
Why ask Chris Bangs to do a compilation for Ace?
Maybe because of my long, varied and unusual musical career. I started off as a failed guitarist with space rockers the Mighty Om, then went on to become a club DJ playing jazz, funk and soul across London and the south of England six nights a week. I then diversified to play more varied DJ sets that featured modern soul, rare groove, Baptist beat, Brazilian samba, bossa and beyond.
As I got established, I was offered DJ residencies. My first was playing five nights a week at Bogarts in West London which had the first Technics SL1200 record decks in the UK, previously only found in swish American venues like Studio 54. Then there was two years playing every Saturday at the Exeter Bowl, Bournemouth, where I also teamed up with DJ/promoter, Bob Masters to run the legendary Bournemouth soul weekenders through most of the 80s.
In 1982 I met 16-year old Gilles Peterson, playing his first DJ gigs in a local wine bar. This led to a partnership that spanned the best part of a decade. Our first sets were in a tiny function room above the Derby Arms near the Belvedere Arms in Sheen, West London where, in the late 80s, Gilles played his celebrated DJ sets. There were one-off nights culminating in our Mambo Madness parties and the Original Jazz Bops, promoted in tandem with Gilles’ Mad On Jazz show on Radio London. Just imagine 1,600 hardcore jazz clubbers dancing to class tunes and live acts at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town.
My musical journey as a DJ peaked in the mid- to late 80s with the legendary Cock Happy and Special Branch nights and Doos At The Zoo, spread across various venues in London. There were other joint one-offs, including a memorable night dropping tuff jazz tunes from the likes of Art Blakey and Charles Earland surrounded by giant Victorian machine generators at Kew’s Museum of Steam where instead of our usual banners and posters, we decorated the room with toilet paper. I also guested fortnightly on Gilles’ Monday jazz night at the Wag Club getting home at 5am and at work, in body if not in mind, at 8am.
There were also Special Branch holidays in Ibiza and Corfu, Rockley Sands, Prestatyn and Caister weekenders, dropping jazz dance, funk, rare groove and even a bit of Cliff Richard on the holidays and playing classic Blue Note jazz and Santana at Cafe Del Mar.
I was credited with inventing acid jazz after a particularly wild night in early 1988 DJ-ing at a Nicky Holloway Special Branch Doo in Brentford, London. We were playing hard Latin jazz tunes while the words “Acid... Acid... Acid...” were projected onto the giant screens behind where Gilles and I were DJing. We stopped the music , I said “acid jazz” on the microphone and we both collapsed laughing. Acid jazz was never meant to be more than a mild piss-take and really was just a reaction to the hype that acid house was getting in clubland. We never intended it to be that specific, but acid jazz went on to become a genre that conquered the world. It gave me the freedom to play Jimi Hendrix, psychedelic poetry and early hip-hop tracks alongside hard bop and tough Latin tunes.
As time marched on, many of the DJs I had been working with such as Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Trevor Fung, Simon Dunmore and Johnny Walker got involved in the world-leading UK dance scene, raking in cash by making records. I thought ‘I’ll Have some of that!’ This led to my first foray into the studio creating the proto-acid jazz classic 12”, ‘Psychedelic Jack (That’s Where It’s At)’, which cheekily sampled Frank Zappa, Soft Machine and Gong. With me and Gilles on vocals, it got us signed to Acid Jazz Records, who released in 1988 under the name of Extasis.
That was just the start and nearly 35 years later (gulp!) I’ve had a ball, producing Galliano and Paul Weller, working with Mick Talbot, Roy Ayers, Linda Clifford and Sharon Redd, remixing Will Downing, Ce Ce Rogers and Blaze. I’ve made house tunes with Faith’s Terry Farley, run the legendary Dadhouse Records label with Dave Jarvis. I also set up my own studio and released music under a variety of names, both for my own labels and Acid Jazz Records. Recent releases include my solo albums “Firebird” (2023) and “Dream World” (2024). There was also “Back To Business” with Mick Talbot, released in 2023.

We Fought for This Country?

DESCRIPTION
Crafted on the trembling bedrock of this country's more turbulent times in recent memory, Fatboi Sharif & Driveby shred unease, rage, and passion in a blender and reassemble these fragments with equal sense of panic and precision. The result is an audio experience which holds a mirror up to the listener, reflecting a face you may not recognize. Hope remains throughout though, in tracks about conquering and freeing your mind from your own imprisonment of self doubt. Hidden potential, taking risks, and a distorted perspective are birthed as this creature they call LET ME OUT. 'Let Me Out' is Fatboi Sharif's first full length album for Deathbomb Arc. Sharif has also released albums on the Backwoodz Studioz label, POW, and Fused Arrow. His 2024 work garnered him best of the year mentions at Bandcamp, The Fader, and The WIRE. 2025 will see Fatboi appearances on the west coast and his first trip to EU to perform.

Production is handled by a wide range of talent including TaeBeast, Mario Luciano, Kal Banx, Oliver Easton, Rascal, and more. Creating a balance between the strength of bravado and the vulnerability of being intimate. A new journey awaits in "BRAVADO INTiMO..." or (B.i.) by .idk. (Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge). The name itself mirrors the enigmatic creator's duality. This musical journey is less of a narrative in words and more of an exploration of essence and melodic resonance. Through a fusion of soul, jazz, and hip hop, with a futuristic touch courtesy of the electronic leaning sequencer, .idk. crafts a sonic landscape that defies convention. “My goal with this album was to simplify everything.” With a concise 51-minute runtime and a focus on conceptual clarity, "BRAVADO INTiMO..." emerges as one of .idk.’s most accessible and cohesive projects to date. “With B.i., I just wanted to sing over beats that artists like MF DOOM would normally rap over and only rap when it felt the most natural” Drawing inspiration from his collaborations with MF DOOM, .idk. effortlessly transitions between singing and rapping, creating a seamless experience that captivates from start to finish. .idk.’s efforts provide rapping, singing, production, and even creative direction for a very specific language in a world that he governs quite well. BRAVADO INTiMO... (B.i.) provides a new palette for the future of melodic rap while capturing the essence of hip hop’s foundation.
