NIADEM'S GHOST "Dreams Gone By" Lathe Cut 12" Ltd 100
Six tracks never before released on vinyl, three of which are previously unreleased in any shape or form, and one of which was never even played live, so previously unheard !!
Formed in the summer of 1985, Niadem's Ghost consisted of Dave Tompkins on bass, Brian Grantham (ex-Slaughter & The Dogs) on drums, Peter Nicholls (then ex-IQ) on vocals, and Dave Bennett on guitar. Within weeks they'd recorded a three song demo on a 4-track portastudio, and by early December were lined up with shows at The Gallery in Manchester and The Marquee in London. Two of the songs on that tape - "The Rage" and "High Wide And Handsome" - became staples of the live shows and were re-recorded in a "proper" studio for their mini-LP "In Sheltered Winds" which came out in mid-'86. However, as new titles started arriving thick and fast, the third track "The Fifth Winter" was put on the back burner and then largely forgotten about...until now !
The other three tracks are taken from the cassette EP "Thirst" which was recorded for a radio session in early 1987, and showcases a clearly developing sound, with "Endless Times" in particular taking on a loping and more laidback feel than their previous tautly intense style. A year later this "loose fit" approach would be big news in certain Mancunian circles, but for Niadem's Ghost that scene would arrive too late for them to play any part - by late '87 it was all over, and with an album's worth of new songs destined to go unrecorded, there was a pervading sense of what-could-have-been for the followers they'd picked up in their 18 months of public existence.
"Dreams Gone By" isn't a 'lost' album or newly recorded material...far from it. It's six tracks lifted from the vaults that have never previously been released on vinyl, and they bookend the recorded output of the band's brief existence. El Ron Del Mundo and 345RPM have been working in close collaboration with Peter Nicholls for over two years (!) to bring this idea to life, and even the band's own Hibernation Records label has been brought out of...well, hibernation for the occasion !
There's a 10" x 10" card insert lyric sheet hand written in Peter's own inimitable style, plus he was also kind enough to open up his archive of Ghostie memorabilia so included in with each disc is an extensive "fan pack" wallet containing photos, flyers, ticket stubs, studio track sheets, stickers, press cuttings, even a repro sleeve for the original Thirst cassette and more...it really is a fantastic collection of hand picked ephemera that will please new and old fans alike !
The record is a limited edition of 100 lathe cut copies. We have 100 colour printed sleeves to fill, and once they are all used up then there won't be another run, so get in fast !!

ROY MONTGOMERY & MARTHA SKYE MURPHY 7"
Third release on the prestigious EL RON DEL MUNDO label, this is a couple of sides of exquisite dreamy drone performed by legend of the NZ underground scene ROY MONTGOMERY, and London's compellingly enigmatic MARTHA SKYE MURPHY.
An edition of 150 lathe cut copies.
MAP 71 "Blood Fruit" LP
Weird, wired, and worldly rhythms overlayed by enchantingly unsettling and abstract narratives, MAP 71 make smoothly awkward sounds which can serve as drifting background ambience or conversely as attention grabbing earworms. Experimentation that goes consistently right.
Edition of 53 copies, released on the decidedly unorthodox Gardener's Delight label.
STANLEY BRINKS & FRESCHARD "War" 7"
Sixth release on EL RON DEL MUNDO, the label that thinks globally and acts locally, and it's a pleasure to annouce a doublesider from perpetually touring troubadours STANLEY BRINKS & FRESCHARD. Confirmed experts at solving the larger worries of an over complicated world with a bottle of red, here they present a couple of broadsides at the evolution of human ego and its resultant effect on such obvious societal stabilisers as logic and reason.
Sounds heavy ?
Far from it. These songs ooze both dry humour along with the feel of an informal alfresco afternoon performance on the cafeteria patio of your choice. Acoustic sing-a-long simplicity which you'll soon enough find yourself swaying along to and humming the melodies...
Hand numbered edition of 100 copies on lathe cut 7", full colour sleeve and added lyric sheet insert in case you do feel like joining in !
Mr. D.E. Ath "Eeets Chreestmuss..." 7"
Look out below...it's Mr D.E. Ath esq. !!
Don't worry, he hasn't come for you. Not yet.
No, he's here to announce that he has a wondrously festive 7" lathe cut single out in time for Christmas ! Oh joy !!
In a break from tradition, Gardener's Delight Record Label is embracing the world of tawdry commercialism and entering the wholly futile race to be Xmas #1. Seeing as it's an edition of only 53 copies that idea would appear to be dead in the icy, frozen water to start with, but no worries. There's always the download sales !
"Eeets Chreestmuss..."
b/w
"We'll All Be O.K."
A couple of feel-good tear-jerkers from the stable of Club Silencio, these are big time show tunes on a small time budget, and are culled from their forthcoming pantomime "A Town Called Silencio" (15th - 20th Dec @ Brighton Old Court Room)
Available to pre-order in four gloriously seasonal colours :
Jolly Santa Red !
Frosty Snow White !
Icy Chill Clear !
Death Black.
Very limited numbers of each, so order early to ensure you get the colour you need !
THE INSEKTLIFE CYCLE "Temple Of The Soul" LP
Mighty Manilian eruptions from the heart of the Psychedelic Philippines, The InsektLife Cycle offer up four sumptuous 10 min 2 sec long jams, recorded on simple 4-track cassette in a three hour session, but sounding like they've spent a few years on some Jovian satellite perfecting the art of acid fried stoner wig-outs.
Black wax edition of 53 copies only, another Gardener's Delight exclusive.
M.L. DEATHMAN Boytribe 7"
A one-sided lathe cut from Bristolian havoc-noise creator ML DEATHMAN, this is a prime slice of clattering afro tinged industralia which will have you tapping your foot at the same time as hiding behind the curtains.
Edition of 53 copies on only the cautiously expanding GARDENER'S DELIGHT label.
Internal Garden 7"
The sounds of electronic impulses taken direct from the energies created by the stimulation of an Orange Snap Dragon and a Sleeping Gunnera, incased within a bubbling fern green transluscent disc, internal labels, numbered, and housed in a stickered pvc outer sleeve.
Fourth release on Gardener's Delight, this is a lathe cut 7" edition of 53 copies only.
