Well firstly apologies to our regular visitors for not updating our site more regularly.
In our defence our top computer chaps have been unavoidably detained in recent weeks but we've come back with some great new tunes and vintage cuts. Check the chart below for a sample.
We're also pleased to be able to announce the release of our own Real Fidelity compilation this week and even though we're saying it ourselves it's really rather good. The full spec is;

REAL FIDELITY TRACK LISTING IN FULL:

1. "Untitled" Ð BLACK LODGE (2000)
In demand disco based club cut hailing from Manchester which appeared as a 500 only 10" on the Acupuncture label at the start of the year.

2. "Liar Liar" Ð THE CASTAWAYS (1965)
In the summer of 165 this US group, formed purely to amuse themselves and friends, scored a top 20 hit with this psychedelia fused garage track.

3. "I Can Give You Everything" Ð THE TROGGS (1967)
Culled from their Trogglodynamite album this track should sound familiar given it's likeness to Beck's "Devils Haircut", which shares the same opening guitar riff.

4. "Have Love Will Travel" Ð THE SONICS (1965)
As prime purveyors of the 60's garage sound, the father of 70's punk the Sonics revelled in distorted sound. Their version of "Louie Louie" makes the Pistols look positively innocent whilst this track is their most enduring. It's 'pop' Jim, but not as we know it.

5. "Soul Vibration" Ð J-WALK (2000)
This instrumental appeared as a limited edition 7" in the Spring. Originating from Manchester we sold 130 copies from the store in just over 2 weeks.

6. "Got To Have Money" Ð THE EXITS (1967)
The flip-side to a Northern Soul hardy perennial, the funk laced "Got To Have Money" includes the killer line "you take me, there are holes in my shoes and everything I got, is too old to use". Possibly the nicest way to tell your boss you need a rise.

7. "Mexicali Voodoo" Ð TIM BUCKLEY (1973)
Taken from the LP "Look At The Fool" which never secured a UK release and now fetches £50, "Mexicali Voodoo" effortlessly unites folk, jazz, funk and latin fans. It's a rare performance capturing as it does the blue-eyed soul man in a genuinely playful mood.

8. "If Love Was Money" Ð DAN PENN (1973)
Another blue-eyed soul gem from singer songwriter Penn's £150 rated "Nobody's Fool" album. Together with the title track it's a standout moment not least because of the top drawer lyrics and excellent playing but also a superb break-beat.

9. "Majesty" Ð PHILLY (2000)
Currently unsigned, this demo from Scotsman Philly arrived in the shop by virtue of a mutual friend. It's simple and ruff and owes as much to the blues as it does to reggae.

10. "Song 2" Ð ZINGER (2000)
This take on the Blur favourite appeared as another one of those 500 only 7" singles Division One likes to stock. It had us laughing and saluting immediately. Cheeky.

11. "Home Of The Whale" Ð MASSIVE ATTACK (1992)
Taken from the imaginatively entitled Massive Attack EP this track has a familiar reassuring quality. A haunting tale of the sea it possesses an illusive warmth.

12. "Lazy Lagoon" Ð ANJALI (2000)
Old acquaintance Spykid passed by the store one afternoon in July with this beautiful track.

13. "Melody Calls" Ð DOVES (2000)
A standout track from a great LP.

14. "It Must Be Love" Ð LABI SIFFRE (1971)
The original of the Madness hit. Brilliant pure pop.

15. "Sail On Sailor" Ð THE BEACH BOYS (1973)
The Beach Boys were in all sorts of problems when they finally issued the LP Holland from which this came which makes the lyrics all the more poignant. It's definitely a shot in the arm after 'one of those days'.
