We carry all of our releases (of course) and a wide variety of other like-minded genre home video companies, in addition to super rare VHS, Laserdiscs and movie posters. We also have a growing selection of vinyl LPs and one of the largest collections of soundtrack LPs you will ever encounter.”

With an ear towards unique sounds and a table full of vinyl delights, he’s vended at record fairs from New York to DC. When not busy running around looking for new record discoveries, he can be occasionally spotted at his table talking music with customers while assisted by his ever patient father Mike.
Outside of record fairs, Chaim is an author and professional writer for such music magazines as Shindig and Ugly Things, an archival producer for record labels, as well as the host of weekly radio show Anything Goes on WESU 88.1 FM.  https://www.wesufm.org/schedule/

Bounds follows Craven Faults’ second full-length album
Standers. Following loosely in the footsteps of 2020’s
Enclosures release, here’s another 37-minute journey
through Northern England via a lifetime obsessing at the
fringes of popular culture. New details and perspectives.
Dusk gathering.

There’s some discussion over where this journey begins.
Certainly, less than twenty miles north-west of the city, but
possibly much closer. Ironic given we’re searching for a
distance marker. A gritstone pillar is the prime candidate
– destroyed by lightning almost 200 years ago, and then
rebuilt a quarter of a mile away. A curiosity. Many a journey
starts here these days, as we take flight and head further
north and west. The tarn was drained in 1940 to protect
critical infrastructure. We leave the sounds of heavy industry
behind us to float weightlessly over the moors.

We pick up pace and hit those levels of repetition
engineered to the highest standards in Düsseldorf and
Köln, 1971. A gift to the world. At this point the altitude
is no longer clear; there’s no sense of scale. We could be
a matter of inches from the ground, but the patterns are
the same. Eventually we arrive at a hillside with no defined
boundaries. The limestone pavement is visible in parts, and
snaps us into focus once again.

It’s a little way east for our next stop, very close to where
the journey began on Standers. Documents from 1651
suggest an arbitrary drawing of boundaries, the distribution
of power and wealth set down in pen and ink and then
passed down through generations. We beat a path around
the perimeter. The divides still exist although the crab apple
tree is long gone. Melodies give way to bent notes and
dissonance.

We take a circuitous trip to Hamburg and Rome for filming
between February 11 and April 23, 1972. A slower pace.
Less structure, but emotive, evolving. The master touch,
indeed. One final job before retiring and living off the land
for the next 373 years.

RSR PC 081 Dissolve – Paul & Will

This month Paul and Will joined us on the podcast. Paul sings and Will plays guitar in Dissolve. We just released their latest record, Burnt and absolutely were honored and stoked to do so. Dissolve has been around since 1991 and released records with wide time gaps between them.  They endure and we talk about how that works with their band and how those releases have progressed to the most recent record, Burnt.

Dissolve's Paul & Will
Dissolve’s Paul & Will

We talk about the bands they played with and other bands they were in. We talk briefly about Paul’s writing career (a book of short stories called Weakling Planet) and how that relates to how he writes lyrics. We talk about the bands they got to see and play with in the 90s and we go on from there. Check it out!
