This week’s super six is a real mish-mash of styles and formats and just about a perfect cross-section of the music we love and stock. From wild Rockabilly and Rock ‘n’ Roll to snotty 60s Garage Punk and stompin’ early Soul and Funk, it’s all here, so get perusal-ing!

We’ll cut straight to the chase this week because we could not narrow our selection to just six tracks, there’s just too much good stuff here – R’n’B, Soul, Vocal Harmony, Blues, Frat and Surf. This is a real treasure trove and everyone one of these seven records has a flip you can’t choose between, all are stunning singles.

WARNING – NSFW: One of the tracks in this week’s selection sounds like it was mixed with the moan-overs for a porno but we’re not telling you which one, so be careful where you listen to this selection of new releases from Koko Mojo and Atomicat. Don’t worry, though, we’ll put a plain cover on it…

Most people would go for some kind of big 10-incher joke but we are better than that right? So with that out the way, the 10in album is perfect for many Rock ‘n’ Roll artists that we love who never broke through to the big time. They had some great 45s and maybe later some unissued tracks turned up but a full LP would have to be padded out with average R’n’B or country. Not so the 10in album – all killer. no filler!

We strolled a few doors up the road from our Camden shop on Tuesday and saw the band, The Dustbowl Sinners. This was the first live performance we had seen for ooh soo long and the band were great. The Dustbowl Sinners have so far issued two CDs

In a bustling Camden town, we’re celebrating the release of a brand new and essential 45 from the now legendary Mr Don Cavalli and another flick through our Rockabilly repro boxes to pull out a selection of true blue bop classics.

Some days it is quiet here and we get a chance to do what people think we do all the time and just play through a bunch of 45s. We have been having a good old dig through the RnB 45s racks. It has been a strange old time lately so we thought, why not have a bit of a stroll through that section as there has been some great stuff issued that we think may have slipped past a lot of people.
Read MoreKeeping the Koko Mojo flowing…
So the lovely folk over in Koko Mojo land have done a double this month. After hitting us with six super CDs of Rock ‘n’ Roll just last week they’ve followed up with another five this week and also reminded us of another great CD we have.

We were sunning our tatts here on the terrace on the Costa Del Camden, sipping on artisan lager-tops, wondering what we put on the menu for you this week when Koko Mojo came along with six brand spanking new CDs for our plat du jour – Buon a’potato!
Read MoreStrap in for a Rock ‘n’ Roll road trip!
To tie in with three great new EPs that arrived from Sleazy records this week, we thought we’d take you on a little rockin’, rollin’ road trip through America’s Midwest. Although often overlooked in the history of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the 12 agricultural and industrial states that make up the Midwest region cranked out more than their fair share of wild Rock ‘n’ Roll during the 50s and early 60s.
