Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

This compilation may not feature new music, but it sneaked into the December release date so quietly it deserves to be talked about. Putting together some of the rarest records around, if they’re on their original 7″ plastic format, combining tracks from the Acid Jazz label, a selection of Northern Soul, Freak Beat and other ‘mod’ genres. What can we say, other than it’s bloody brilliant.
