Music Week's round-up of the latest album reissues and catalogue releases. This week we take a look at a collection of 'mod, soul, R&B & freakbeat nuggets from down under', The Complete Kent Recordings of . Hill and Marlena Shaw’s Go Away Little Boy: The Columbia Antholog. arious How Is The Air Up There? (RPMRPMBX 539). As the liner notes rightly point out, . Hill was the go-to guy for blue-tinged soul, and there's a heap of it - all good - on this collection. The rolling and raunchy Have Mercy Someone - a b-side - is excellent.

The La De Da's - "How Is The Air Up There". 2. Larry's Rebels - "Painter Man".

The song was picked up by Sydney radio stations and before long it was number one on the charts there. Their cover of John Mayall's "On Top of the World" (released in November 1966) made it to number two on the national charts. Afterwards, they began maintaining a residency at Auckland's hippest night club, the Galaxie, hitting again with a cover of Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby," which scored a number one position in March 1967.

Up in the Air" is a song recorded by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, featured on their fourth studio album, Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013). Written by lead vocalist Jared Leto, who also produced the song with Steve Lillywhite, "Up in the Air" is an introspective and passionate track reflecting upon human consciousness. It marked a departure from much of the band's previous work as it incorporates a more d sound as well as elements from new wave music.

However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single: Sealed. This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this. May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
