NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl - John Fahey, Group Doueh, Secret Twins, Tom Waits, The White Stripes

v/a LAGOS DISCO INFERNO 2xLP
*** On many a year end list, this 12-track collection is comprised of "smoking hot groove action from Lagos, Nigeria circa 1976-’82." If the cover doesn't kill you, the tunes inside will.

BLACK FLAG Loose Nut LP
*** Guaranteed: Black Flag's underrated 1985 LP has the creepiest Amazon reviews ever but these "losers in love" have good taste: Loose Nut slays.

JOHN FAHEY Vol. 1 - Blind Joe Death LP
*** BACK IN PRINT! 1964 folk / blues release by the legendary acoustic guitarist. This is the second edition of this record featuring some re-recorded material.

GROUP DOUEH Beatte Harab LP
*** BACK IN STOCK! RECOMMENDED Didn't think we'd get more copies of this gem as it's already out of print and barely a couple months old. Western Sahara guitar heroics and spiritual poetry? This stuff is ineffable. On SUBLIME FREQUENCIES.

SECRET TWINS Ill Fit LP+CD
*** "The debut offering from Ann Arbor, Michigan's Secret Twins. 10 tracks of flying V roar, heavenly vocals, and wild drumming. Secret Twins are rebaptizing rock with their one-of-a-kind, DIY folk-punk sound."

TOM WAITS The Heart Of Saturday Night LP
TOM WAITS Small Change LP
TOM WAITS Closing Time LP

*** BACK IN PRINT! Among the most-requested LPs at the shop, these gems are finally back in print.

THE WHITE STRIPES The White Stripes LP
THE WHITE STRIPES De Stijl LP
THE WHITE STRIPES White Blood Cells LP

*** BACK IN PRINT! After long wait, the first few Stripes LPs are once again in print.
