Recorded on 11/17/1985 at The Outhouse in Lawrence, KS, this full length album brings together 17 tracks recorded before the release of 'Tangled Up', the second (and sadly, final) studio album by the band. Emerging onto the hardcore scene in the early 80's, the Necros released a string of singles (Sex Drive EP, IQ32 EP, Conquest For Death 7") before the release of their first album, also titled Conquest For Death, which quickly became an irresistible and highly sought-after hardcore classic. This live album marks the first new live Necros recordings made officially available in over ten years, and the first 12" vinyl record by the band issued since 1987. Featuring the stunning Tangled Up era lineup of Barry Henssler (vocals), Andy Wendler (guitar), Ron Sakowski (bass) and Todd A. Swalla (drums), this album showcases a never before seen glimpse into the transformation between Conquest For Death and the Tangled Up album, along with many covers that would become staples in their live set, including Help (The Beatles) The Nile Song (Pink Floyd, with the studio version being issued as the B-Side of the 'Tangled Up' 7"), Pipeline (The Chantays) and Walking The Dog (Rufus Thomas). The album also features newly found pictures, an original interview from 1985 to promote the show, and newly written liner notes by award-winning journalist Brian Smith.

Bad Dream Blues - Todd Albright

You could say it’s like something out of a movie -but it was more like out of a video store - that’s where, four years ago out in Ann Arbor, MI (the birthplace of proto-punkers The MC5) Cortez and Mendoza encountered each other, revealing their similar upbringings and accommodating tastes in music. It only took Cortez one look and barely a minute of conversation to know that Mendoza had something - inviting her, on the spot, to come jam with his band 
(formerly The Brothers Cortez). Her accented pronouncement of his last name bent Cortez’ ear and, the pair of them both runts of large families presided by Chilean and Paraguayanparents respectively, started speaking in fluent Spanish about the possibilities of maybe busking the streets sometime soon (a date they’d make later that year). 
Mendoza joined the original Bros. Cortez line-up in 2010, rechristened as White Shag. The line-up shifted through 2010, settling soon after with drummer Leone. Their new batch of songs came quickly, girded by Jorge’s experienced sensibilities for fast, catchy riffs, ebullient soloing flourish and tasteful deployment of dazzling pedal-effects as well as Mendoza, a musical instructor at a metro Detroit School of Rock, being keen on improvisatory adaptability and training in arrangement. Cortez brought the riffs, Mendoza brought the words and melodies, they both brought the attitude. Once fellow-music instructor and lifelong musician Joe Leone joined on drums—the band was complete. (Good thing, too, since Leone joined just 5 days before the pair planned on recording their debut EP – released in Fall 2012).

One of the most important bands ever to pass through the annals of Detroit rock history, members of The Buzzards have also become members of the Detroit Cobras and The Dirtys. Joe Dirty's cathartic vocals backed with the triple backed rhythm of Mary Cobra and the Paterra Twins create something truly punk, and characteristically Detroit. They were featured on the Jack White compiled 'Sympathetic Sounds Of Detroit' album, and their debut 7" was released in 2009 by Ziti Records. Their EP on Jett Plastic contains three tracks of unadulterated Detroit rock.

Cosmic Light Shapes is the brainchild of Detroit musician-around-town Eugene Strobe (The Witches, The Sights, Gore Gore Girls, The Sirens, The Alphabet) who has compiled these songs over many years of early solo works and demos, as well as co-writing some newer songs with drummer Zenas Jackson (You People, Siddhartha, High-Speed Dubbing, Big Pink Black) & advised by spiritual conduit and dog wizard extraordinaire, bass guitarist, Adam James Fuller (the Phantom Cats, The Dead Wings, You People).
 
“Cosmic” as their fans lovingly refer to them, perform shows frequently in the Detroit area and have ventured out to play venues such as Brooklyn New York’s oldest bar, Hank’s Saloon. They have also taken the stage at birthday parties, public access variety shows, weddings, and acted as backing band and sung duets with distinguished personalities such as actress Patricia Arquette & comedian/actor Jon “Taco” Lajoie of TV show “The League.”

Cosmic Light Shapes as have also been endorsed by the late great rock guru/manager Kim Fowley, & they appear here for the first time on vinyl. Their sound has been described by fans as, “Alice Coltrane meets Neil Young’s apocalyptic dance squad” among other creative comparisons. Cosmic Light Shapes channel the galactic sonic-sound vibrations from lost extraterrestrial satellites near & far. — Imagine an AM radio traveling through outer space, powered by a combination of solar flare power & 9volt alkaline batteries.

By now, you all should have snatched the vinyl release of Rocket's 'Go To Hell' compilation (if not, what are you waiting for?), and for the already initiated, we're proud to bring you this brand-new (sort of...) 7" by our favorite Detroit garage stalwarts! 

After digging around the Rocket archives for masters during the organization of the full-length that JPR released last year, Jeff Meier came across two previously unreleased Rocket gems that we can now present to you on 7" vinyl!

A long time live favorite, 'Late Nite,' takes up the A-Side of the 7". Recorded by Marco Delicato at his home in the late 90s, the roughness of this recording demonstrates the live ferocity of the band, along with establishing the fact that Rocket had the greatest rhythm section in all of Detroit during their extensive reign.

The B-Side of the 7" features 'Bone Broke,' also a remarkably great demo recording. Written for Rocket's use by Jack White in the late 90s, outside of a few live performances, the song has never been heard by the public as performed by Rocket. Figuring that it didn't exactly fit into their live set well, the song was never commercially released by Rocket; however, it was repurposed by White's outfit The White Stripes for their 2007 album 'Icky Thump'. For fans of Detroit garage, this version is guaranteed not to disappoint.

We're pleased to bring you another release in our archival Rocket 455 series, a band who deserves much warranted praise alongside their fellow Detroit contemporaries.

Billy Davis is a true rock 'n' roll troubadour. 
Having performed with Hank Ballard & The Midnighters and Little Richard, Davis is no stranger to rock 'n' roll. 
You'll hear his guitar playing on hits like 'Finger Popping Time', 'Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go'.and Jackie Wilson's 'Higher And Higher'. 
Davis taught Jimi Hendrix how to play the guitar (really), and he was personally invited by Elvis Presley to perform with him at Graceland. 
He was a close personal friend to Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, and he rubbed shoulders with a member of the Manson family who secretly toured with Ballard in the 1980s under a different name. 
He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as he should be. 

This is Billy Davis' inaugural release with Jett Plastic, and we are insanely proud to have worked with engineer Zach Shipps on this completely solo effort.

UNRELEASED: Demos and Rarities 1996-2018 is the new album by renowned rock musician Jonny Polonsky. With a musical pedigree comprised of collaborations with Johnny Cash, Puscifer and Frank Black (The Pixies) among others, Polonsky has assembled a collection of songs that, for some reason or other, did not fit on their respective albums. While the collection is comprised of tracks spanning over twenty years of Polonsky's recording career, the cohesiveness of the album should not be understated. The 18 track collection will be officially released on November 23rd on vinyl, with an additional 3 songs available on CD, digital and all streaming platforms.

"Jonny Polonsky is a true original. His music should be celebrated everywhere."
Mark Lanegan (solo artist, Queens of the Stone Age)

"Jonny has pure Artist compassion running through his veins."
Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer)

"Baby, you're a real motherfucker. And I mean that in the best sense of the word."
Neil Diamond

UNRELEASHED: Demos and Rarities

Everywhere All the Time - Jonny Polonsky

We're excited to have worked with legendary Detroit garage revivalists the Hysteric Narcotics to release Avec Fromage, a collection of some of their finest tracks, stemming back to 1985. Though only self-releasing one full-length LP in 1986 (Batteries Not Included), the group preceded and followed its release with a string of now-classic singles. Mike Murphy, the defacto leader of the group, was formerly a member of The Boners and The Denizens, two bands who were instrumental in Detroit's art-punk community. By joining the Paisley Underground movement, the Narcotics quickly cemented an immense fanbase in and around Detroit that continues to this day.

We approached the group a while back and got the gears turning on this LP, which could most succinctly be described as a greatest hits collection. Murphy handed over two full CDs full of outtakes and unreleased material and we culled over and dragged out the essential tracks. ALL KILLER!
