BAMBOOS W/ MEGAN WASHINGTON LIMITED ED. VINYL
This seriously limited edition double A-side 7” is out on 14th November 2011 to celebrate ten years of great music from the renowned Australian funk band The Bamboos’, who self-released their first single in 2001 and have gone on to become one of the big hitters of the Tru Thoughts roster, selling tens of thousands of records Worldwide.
The A-side lifts the lid on a new studio recording, an intriguing full string and horn section cover version of James Blake’s ‘The Wilhelm Scream’ featuring vocals from long-time Bamboos pal Megan Washington (Megan guested on the band’s 2008 album Side-stepper on the eve of her massive success); and ‘Eel Oil’, the incendiary deep funk instrumental track which graced that first ever (and long sold out) 7” release in 2001, is on the AA-side here, making a long-awaited reappearance on vinyl by popular demand.
Bringing classic Bamboos magic backto- back with a current and previously unreleased cut, this 7” shows just why The Bamboos are revered the World over and gain more and more fans with each release, from the deep funk and soul faithful to an ever-widening crowd of music lovers.
This one-off single is sure to fly off the shelves and will never be repressed. store

KIM SALMON AND THE GUYS FROM MUDHONEY VINYL
n 1995, during the "grunge" boom, when Steve Turner had a break from Mudhoney, Kim Salmon was invited to join the band in Seattle. Kim Salmon accepted the invitation from his friends and flew from Australia to Seattle to check whether the experience was viable and worthy. After some recordings and rehearsals, both parties agreed to part in a friendly manner, leaving behind these recordings which had, until now, remained unreleased for over 15 years. Then in September 2010, Mudhoney and Kim Salmon met again in New York for the ATP Festival, with a band list including Scientists, Mudhoney, The Stooges and Sonic Youth. On this occasion they spoke about releasing the record, and here it finally is. Like a cross between Kim Salmon & the Surrealists' Sin Factory and Mudhoney's early albums, the 7 tracks display a fantastic combining of talents, bringing together two giants of rock & roll from two continents together.
