THIS IS A NEVER BEFORE HEARD ALBUM, RELEASED BY MAPLEWOOD RECORDS. Available on VINYL ONLY at www.maplewoodrecords.com
Presented here, by Maplewood Records, for the first time ever is a live album that was recorded over three nights at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1972. The lineup for the First Edition during this recording included newcomers Gene Lorenzo on Hammond organ and Jimmy Hassell on guitar/backing vocals replacing the departed Mike Settle.
 
The record was produced by Jim Callon, founding member of the Glass Family, in the year after the concert recordings. It was cut from several nights and meant to showcase the band’s live acumen, which was a tight hard rocking machine. It delivers. Long buried in Jim’s garage, you will hear hot versions of such notable numbers as King of Rock n’ Roll, Tell It All, Take This Hammer, and their biggest hit Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)
 
When listening to this record, it’s easy to imagine yourself in a smoky nightclub in the Las Vegas Hilton, don’t you think? Maybe having a cocktail with your old lady after an afternoon of hitting the tables? Give it a listen and see where it takes you.

ORDER LIMITED EDITION PURPLE VINYL LP - www.maplewoodrecords.com  // est arrival date 05/05/16 //
Louie Perez III and his band the Tragedy emerged from the type of musical lineage and pedigree that produces not just great records, but interesting records. LP3 & the Tragedy’s debut record Southland Hum is just that, a great record that tells an interesting story. Louie shares his father’s name, Louis Perez Jr., who happens to be a founding member of the seminal American rock band Los Lobos. Born in East Los Angeles, Louie III has lived all around the southland culminating in the experiences that make up this record. Louie has always been a talented artist, becoming well-known in the tattoo scene where he works at the venerated Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood.

Southland Hum tells the stories of Californians through the lens of its everyday average people. Numbers such as Farm, Uneasy Street, City of Dreams and Southland Hum describe the vivid landscapes of Southern California and the people who live, love and work there. These aren’t the lives of celebrities and the Hoi Polloi. These are the lives of migrants, the working-man, and young people searching for a meaningful existence. Join Louie (Guitar, Vocals), Ruby Rosas (Bass, Vocals), Eric Fuller (Drums, Percussion), Carlos Guzman (Guitars), and Mike Berault (Keys, Accordion) as they take you along for a ride telling a story about Southern California’s rich landscape of rolling hills that are intermixed with miles of concrete, worn art deco buildings, and the aspiring dreams of those looking to get into show business or even just a decent well-paying job. And in the background of it all shines the hazy, skewed faded sunshine of Southern California.

Founded by Ian Capilouto in the Spring of 2014, Maplewood Records is a hands-on, Vinyl Only independent record label based in Orange County, CA. Founded with the artist in mind, Maplewood Records strives to take the "Industry" out of the Music Industry by championing the artists, music, and products that we love. 

Without art there is no appreciation. In order to truly appreciate art one must delve deeper than the surface to find the true meaning. At Maplewood Records we believe that every artist has a story to be told, and those stories are the stories we strive to share with the world.

With a Rerelease of the long forgotten, and under-appreciated, 60s Psych-pop band The Glass Family's 1966 album "Electric Band," Maplewood Records has set a precedent for releasing products that have a tale to be told. In addition to the original LP we have released an additional LP of remixed and remastered unreleased tracks that give a look into how the artists themselves would have wanted the record to sound. Additional photos, interviews, and other exclusive content lets the consumer immerse themselves within the art and experience the music with more clarity.

As Maplewood Records moves forward, we commit to becoming a resource for fans obsessive of music to delve into neighborhoods, scenes, and genres they did not know they loved. Whether it be a unreleased album from a Country music icon, a rerelease from a Los Angeles cult Indie Band or a group of scenesters from Northern Indiana, Maplewood Records pledges to deliver the Music, without the Industry.
