   Hi guys 

Our August remastered  discs are now all at factory and should be in on time. They are the following 

Cafe Jacques-Round the Back 
Cafe Jacques-International 
(these
 are excellent "Canterbury flavoured" releases featuring Phil 
Collins(yes that one) and Geoffrey Richardson and produced by Rupert 
Hine)definitely imo worth a listen if you dont know them. Try Round the 
Back First. 

Banco-Banco 
Banco-As in a Last Supper 

Really lovely Phil Smee artwork on these well regarded titles from the Italian proggers. 

Juicy Lucy-Juicy Lucy 
Juicy Lucy-Lie Back and Enjoy It 

Barclay James Harvest-Concert for the People (berlin) Lovely 30th anniversary digi pack version with new artwork.  
Eagle
 Rock also have the restored DVD of this title out in August with some 
nice bonus footage from the time of "Time Honoured Ghosts" 

Blonde on Blonde-Contrasts. 
Excellent cult album. 

Septembers releases as follows 

Ray Thomas --From Mighty Oaks/Hopes and Dreams 
4
 disc  box set from the ex Moody Blues member. Contains the two original
 solo albums remastered plus 5.1 of from Mighty Oaks, some promo 
footage, a great interview and a brand new unreleased track recorded for
 this edition. The release has had Rays full involvement (and a real 
gent he is too) Ray also has a new website up and running. www.raythomas.me. This title is up  on the website for pre-order (cheaper than Amazon!!)  www.esotericrecordings.com   

PFM
 Cook--Great triple mini box set of one of PFMs finest and most sought 
after. Bonus discs of the full Central Park gig. Again this is already 
up on the website for pre-order www.esotericrecordings.com   

Deuter-D 
Deuter-Aum 
Excellent "kraut rock" If you like Mike Oldfield/Bo Hansson etc -you may well like Deuter. 

Here and Now-All over the Show 
Here and Now--Give and Take 
Great anarchic prog/space/punk. If you like Gong, Hawkwind, Inner City Unit etc, this may be your bag. 

Peter Bardens-Peter Bardens 
Peter Bardens-The Answer 
Two lovely solo albums from the Camel keyboard maestro-sadly no longer with us. 

Hawkwind-Space Bandits 
Dont think HW really need explaining. This release is from 1990 and would feature new member Bridget Wishart. 

Octobers
 releases arent totally finalised as we are waiting for some expected 
clearances that we would like to pop in there-- but at the moment are as
 follows but will be added to. 

Machiavel-Mechanical Moonbeams 
Machiavel-Jester 
Out of Focus-Wake Up 
Out of Focus-4 letter Monday afternoon (double) 
Titus Groan-Titus Groan 
Randy California-Kaptain Kopter and the Fabulous Twirlybirds 

If
 anyone would still like to join my Esoteric CD Club please feel free to
 get in touch. Costs £45.00 to join and you can then choose (as part of 
the £45) any 5 discs of your choice (excluding the Jack Brice box set 
and the 2 Hawkwind mini box sets)this includes postage.  These can be 
titles already out or ones still to come and can be taken in ones and 
twos etc, you dont have to have all 5 at once. 
Once all 5 are used 
up single Cds are £8.00 (inc postage) if UK or Europe based and £9.50 if
 based outisde of Europe. Doubles are £9.50 if UK/Europe based ad £11.00
 if based outside. mini box sets etc are always priced below Amazon for 
members. All payments are made by paypal to [email protected]
 and members receive a monthly update and deal direct with myself rather
 than the website. I do have a couple of UK members that pay on CHQ too 
if they cannot use paypal. If interested you can email me at [email protected] 

As
 always many thanks for the support for the label. If anyone would like a
 recommendation of a good book that explains in detail how the business 
works these days I can recommend "Last Shop Standing" by Graham 
Jones,(of Proper Distribution) a great (and funny yet sad) read on the 
plight of the independent record shop  --its a far better read than it 
may sound and provides many insights into past practices such as 
rigging, hype and unusual customer requests etc! ironically you can get 
this easily at Amazon! 

Finally as mentioned if you do buy our 
titles but not directly please support those specialist mail order 
companies out there who definitely stock the genuine article--we are 
aware of a few pirated editions of a few titles  and e-bay/Amazon 
marketplace have all proved to have guilty parties in this respect.  

Kind Regards to all 

Vicky Powell

	Excellent stuff! I hadn't realised there were so many good CDs there, will definitely be buying some when I have the cash - Mellow Candle for starters. I remember that Juicy Lucy album - my sister had it when it first came out. Edited by chopper - August 05 2010 at 06:59

	I just picked up Softs and Bundles by The Soft Machine (bought them through Burning Shed site) - both or which were remastered and re-released recently. They sound wonderful.
