EVERY WHICH WAY / JACKSON HEIGHTS / RARE BIRD / AUDIENCE Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool (1971 UK flyer for a Charisma Records package tour date in Liverpool on 18th February. Put together by Tony Stratton-Smith, this gig was unusual in that it featured two post-Nice bands in the uncredited Jackson Heights & Brian Davison's Every Which Way, along with label favourites Rare Earth & Audience, both riding on the crest of a wave at the time. As a point of interest, the original owner has

Tracklisting: written the set lists as played, but only lists Jackson Heights, Every Which Way & Audience, so it is possible that Rare Earth did not play that evening & Jackson Heights were the late replacements with Audience being promoted to headliners. A novel and interesting piece of forty year old memorabilia that is sure to interest anyone interested in the bands themselves or the early moves of Charisma Records)ήή
CHARISMA LABEL The Famous Charisma Label 1969 - 1986 (Amazing 2008 Russian limited edition 352-page A4 sized book by Yuri Grishin, a labour of love that details everything there is to know about Charisma, B&C & Trojan Records including label & sleeve variants, logos & matrices plus several interviews. This encyclopaedic reference is lavishly illustrated throughout in full colour with over 1000 pictures - every label & sleeve variant - Volume Three in this very collectable series.

Tracklisting: The third book in this series is about the Famous Charisma label which was founded by Tony Stratton Smith in 1969. Limited edition of just 1000 copies with each copy signed by the author. Languages - Russian & English Height - 11,5 inches (290 mm) Width - 8,5 inches (215 mm) Number of pages - 352 Number of pictures - approx. 1800 Labels - 760 Sleeves - 261 This book, the third in 'The Famous British Collectable Record Labels' series, concentrates on the Charisma record label. Also featured is B&C Records, which had been closely associated with Charisma label for more than five years. So, after the main story, a brief outline of B&C Records and its subsidiary labels like Stable, Pegasus and Mooncrest follows, beginning with its launch in 1963. Getting ground in music recording industry, B&C promoted artists, which performed ska, bluebeat, rock-steady and, a bit later, reggae music. So, also covered are a number of B&C subsidiaries, the most prominent of which was Trojan Records, and also such interesting labels as Treasure Isle, Amalgamated, Big Shot, Down Town, Clandisc, and others. This book, as well as the previous books in the series, offers an extensive description of the label designs of the above mentioned record-labels, all provided with illustrations. Practically all the albums mentioned in the book are much in demand with record collectors. The book also contains interviews by artists and engineers, namely Martin Cockerham, the founder of the British folk-band Spirogyra, singer/songwriter and guitarist Keith Christmas, and mastering engineers John 'Jonz' Dent, George 'Porky' Peckham and Tony 'Tone' Bridge. It would not have been possible for the interviews with John, George and Tony but for the help of Denis Blackham (from Skye Mastering). We are sure that this book will receive a warm welcome from record collectors and fans of British pop-music of the 60-70s alike, just like the previous volumes - ‘Island Records 1962 - 1977’ and ‘Harvest Records 1969 - 1980’.

  • Selling to us is easier than selling it yourself – If you have a collection of 30 records, that would be 30 different listings on Ebay, lots of questions to deal with, 20 different parcels to package (as at least 10 won't sell), dealing with items missing or damaged in the post and possible fraud. So often a daunting and time consuming task, it's much better to leave all that to us.
  • So if you want the best deal for your records, CDs or memorabilia, just call or email us today.
