There are also 8 bonus tracks - singles, B sides and Gilbert’s remarkable early demos.

Roy will be appearing at a sold-out 70th birthday concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Saturday November 5th.
Compiled by Roy himself `Songs Of Love And Loss’ is a 2CD collection of the talented lyricist, vocalist and guitarist’s most celebrated love songs and laments. The album comes with a 20 page booklet including rare photos, lyrics and a commentary by Roy on each song.
’My love songs are often hidden by the more epic things I attempt,’ comments Roy, `It’s been a long time ambition of mine to gather a dynamic mix of them together in just their own context. It was a rewarding labour of love for me! Hope you enjoy it.’ Includes 23 tracks from 11 different albums from Sophisticated Beggar in 1966 to Death Or Glory in 1992. Here’s what the critics are saying about Songs Of Love And Loss:
`a very special singer-songwriter’ Uncut
`the 23 tracks here radiate a quiet but mesmerising power’ Classic Rock
`A master at work’ Daily Mirror
`Nothing here is anything less than sublime’ The Wire
`A perfect introduction to a great man’ The Sun
`Forget the Dylan at 70 celebrations that will be all over the media this year, there’s another unique septuagenarian voice equally deserving of your attention.’ Subba-cultcha.com
`This compilation is a powerful restatement of Harper’s core talents, even though it only hints at his considerable versatility and his vaunting ambition. His songs are more than worthy of rediscovery - and it is wonderful that this compilation and the ensuing reissue programme may bring him to an entirely new audience within his own lifetime.’ Music OMH
`Harper’s tunes burn with an intensity that even the airiest of melodies can’t cool, fanned by a lifelong allergy to authority and an intractable belief in everybody’s basic right to do whatever they like.’ Word

Included in the package is a business card on which is printed a unique four-digit number, allowing the owner to enter The Madness Treasure Hunt. Using special technology from the official global GPS cache hunt site, Geocaching.com, participants will be given co-ordinates and detailed descriptions of the locations of various caches hidden mostly in London’s Camden Town (where else?). Anyone who finds all of the caches will be entered into a draw to win a signed picture and a video message from the band.
We’ve enlisted the help of The Invisible Man to show you how it’s done!

Including the trailer for Madstock 92 - available for the first time on DVD
Seminal Derry band The Undertones continue to celebrate their 35th Anniversary following the heavy demand for tickets for their April 2011 shows with more shows scheduled for December 2011. Like the April shows they will play their debut album, ‘The Undertones’, in its entirety and appeal for members of their original fan club to get in touch.
It’s been a long road from their first show in February 1976 at St Mary’s Scout Hall in Derry but 2011 has seen resurgence in interest in the band with shows in the UK, Europe and America.
As in April the band are keen to reacquaint themselves with members of their former fan club, the ‘Rocking Humdingers Club’, and have put out a Missing Persons Search. Mickey Bradley of the band said: ‘‘We recently came across the original membership book from 1982 containing the names of the Rocking Humdingers and thought it would be good to see them again. The response in April was great and as some members could not make the shows we hope they will be able to this time.”
This offer is not open to those who did come in April.
The band hope to hear from these long-time fans and has promised the first 50 who get in touch free entry into a show of their choice, a copy of ‘The Very Best Of The Undertones’ and a tour t-shirt. They should contact the band via at: andy@theundertones.com
Additionally the band’s most recent two CD’s the 2003 “Get What You Need” and the 2007 “Dig Yourself Deep” will receive their digital release in December 2011.
Taking in 40 years of studio recordings, adding a bounty of peak period, previously unavailable BBC concert material and nine unreleased rarities, The Naz Box is the 69-track tribute to a truly impressive career and it lands on September 19.
Remastered by Tim Turan, Scotland’s foremost rockers have never sounded more potent and the accompanying 64-page book contains a detailed overview of Naz history written by noted rock biographer Joel McIver, plus a generous array of rare photos.
Few bands have enjoyed such longevity, overcoming the odds (and the fickle wheel of fashion) so many times to date that they are one of the very few touring acts to deserve the title of veterans. They’ve seen their fortunes rise, fall and rise again, shouldering and shrugging off myriad setbacks, enjoying and enduring commercial peaks and troughs that most bands can only imagine; and they’re still taking it to the stage relentlessly. That’s dedication. That’s commitment. That’s the essence of rock ’N’ roll.
There are just two weeks to go until the release of Salvo’s box set anthology, ‘A Guided Tour Of Madness’. Boasting 3CDs of favourite single and album tracks plus a DVD of the band’s triumphant, earthquake-inducing comeback gig at Madstock in 1992, this collection has been described as “quite possibly the best presented Madness collectors’ item to date”.
Included in the package is a business card on which is printed a unique four-digit number, allowing the owner to enter The Madness Treasure Hunt. Using special Geocaching technology, participants will be given co-ordinates and detailed descriptions of the locations of various caches hidden mostly in London’s Camden Town (where else?). Anyone who finds all of the caches will be entered into a draw to win a signed picture and a video message from the band.
All aboard for the guided tour - 19th September 2011.

Check out her critically-acclaimed recent album - ComBined - here. . .
Union Square Music and Gilbert O’Sullivan sign catalogue deal
Catalogue marketing specialists Union Square Music have signed a long term deal with the singer and songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan to represent his recording catalogue from 1967 to 2007. Under the new arrangement USM and Gilbert O’Sullivan will re-issue the catalogue, physically and digitally, with deluxe editions of 13 original albums, a best of and comprehensive box set all being planned.

Comments:
Peter Stack - MD Union Square Music
“USM are thrilled to be representing the Gilbert O’Sullivan catalogue. Gilbert is one of the UK’s most loved and successful singers and songwriters with an amazing catalogue of recordings and we look forward to a creative, imaginative and profitable partnership.” Gilbert O’Sullivan
“Knowing how important it is to be with the right company especially in this current climate coupled with the fact that up to now I have resisted all offers of representation including on-line access, I am very pleased to be in the company of USM. Determination on their part, resistance on mine, meant it took quite a while but with lunches, teas and coffee, we got there in the end.”
Claudia Brucken was on BBC 6Music recently, talking about her brand new album, ComBined.
Just like her recent session with Jools Holland on BBC Radio 2, Claudia was invited to choose some of her favourite music for the show and dropped in tracks from Fehlfarben, Kraftwerk, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Patti Smith, Crystal Castles with Robert Smith, Robyn, Röyksopp and James Blake... plus a piece of Propaganda and her own latest single, Thank You.
Madness have recorded and filmed a slowed-down version of their smash hit ’Baggy Trousers’ for Kronenbourg 1664’s ’Slow The Pace’ advertising campaign. Following in the footsteps of Motorhead, who recorded an acoustic version of ’Ace Of Spades’, the Madness ad is now being shown. The slowed down track - called ’Le Grand Pantalon’ - is now available to download via iTunes. Click here to see the ad on Youtube.
The band are about to embark on a busy Summer of gigs and festivals, including Reading & Leeds. Click here for more gig details and here for USM’s Madness reissues and hits compilations.
Listen to Claudia Brucken’s guest appearance on BBC6 Music last Sunday
For those who couldn’t tune into BBC 6 Music last Sunday (May 8) to hear the latest in Mark Jones’ occasional series of 6 Mixes exploring synthesised music past and present, for which he was joined by Europe’s foremost electronic pop diva and former Propaganda frontwoman Claudia Brücken, the show is available to listen to here for a limited time.
Hailing from Dusseldorf in Germany, Propaganda were signed to Trevor Horn’s ZTT label in 1984 by Paul Morley, whom Claudia would later marry. The band hit the charts the next year with their debut album A Secret Wish (SALVOMDCD14) featuring seminal singles ’Dr Mabuse’ and ’Duel’, and although the band split two years later, Claudia has carried on making music, both as part of a duo with OMD’s Paul Humphries and on her own. In this programme, Claudia shares her ’synth-fluences’ with Mark, including tunes from Kraftwerk, Patti Smith and La Dusseldorf alongside contemporary electronica from Crystal Castles and James Blake. She also discusses her new solo album on Salvo, Combined (SALVOCD046).
Nazareth’s new album ’Big Dogz’ to be released on April 15
Big Dogz will be the veteran rockers 22nd studio album (released in Europe by Edel Records) and has been produced by guitar player Jimmy Murrison and Yann Rouiller to "capture the challenging edge of classic rock’n’roll". To this end, they’ve completed an album with nearly no overdubs or multiple takes, no vocal lines or solos adjusted through a computer. Big Dogz is simply the sound of four men who live rock music, recording together in the same room at the same time.
Will it join the ranks of their finest albums, such as Razamanz, Hair Of The Dog and No Mean City, as one the most representative episodes of their glorious history? Time will tell but the advance signs are encouraging.

Doyens of of the UK rave scene, Shades of Rhythm were among the most successful and credible dance acts of the 1990s, one of the few to consistently hit the pop charts during the glory days of hardcore dance music.
They signed to ZTT at the turn of the 90s on the strength of the self-released 12" singles and by the end of 1991 S/O/R were at number 14 in the UK singles chart with the Extacy EP (ZANG 24). Their debut album, Shades (ZTT 11, later reissued as The Album) sold over 50,000 copies and all their records were supported by live appearances at legendary 90s raves, like Technodrome and Fantazia, with audiences often topping 10,000.
As part of our ZTT reissue project, Shades has now been given the Salvo treatment; expanded to well over two hours in length by the addition of rare and previously unreleased tracks and remixes. If you have an interest in cutting edge dance music, you owe it to yourself to experience our Extacy edition of Shades of Rhythm!
"The world’s most flexible label" celebrated on Salvo!
One of the most ambitious, influential and succesful independent record labels of all time, Stiff, is celebrated in fine style this month with the release of the 45-track 2CD set, Born Stiff.
Founded by Dave Robinson and Jake Riviera in 1976, Stiff introduced the world to the likes of Elvis Costello, Motörhead, The Damned, Jona Lewie and Madness and was famed for both its extremely eclectic roster and highly creative marketing. Operations wound down (and the label was wound up) in the mid-80s, only for Stiff to reappear in the 21st century and release acclaimed albums by artists such as Chris Difford, Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby and Henry Priestman.
With its wonderful sounds, beautiful day-glo sleeve (which cannot be acurately reproduced on computer screens, alas), fully-illustrated 28-page booklet and entertaining essay by author and label insider Will Birch, we’re extremely proud of Born Stiff. As a measure of one of the UK’s greatest record labels, it’s a superb package - the most comprehensive overview of all things Stiff outside of Salvo’s own critically acclaimed 4CD collection, The Big Stiff Box Set.

Salvo’s deluxe Propaganda and Art of Noise releases both chart!
Down in the Salvo grotto we’ve been celebrating an unprecedented pair of chart placings this week. At the time of writing both Propaganda’s A Secret Wish (deluxe 25th anniversary edition) and Influence, our 2CD Art of Noise retrospective are both sitting comfortably in the Top 150 best-selling albums in the UK (Propaganda entered at No. 36!), a fantastic achievement for catalogue reissues and one that reflects both the the quality of the music and the tremendous job that our Salvo/ZTT production team have done.
Check out the following videos for a taste of the music on offer in these two very special releases.
Salvo’s Nazareth reissue programme continues this month with two of the Scottish rockers’ finest albums - Expect No Mercy (1977) and No Mean City (1979).
Each has been remastered from the original tapes by Manny Charlton and Tim Turan. What’s more, each contains previously unreleased material from the album sessions and, in the case of Expect No Mercy, an entirely unheard version of the album. This "new" version was rejected by the band’s US label at the time, but is every bit as good as the album that was released and contains several tracks that haven’t seen the light of day until now.
Nazareth hit a peak with these two long players. See the following video performances for further evidence.
Sir John Dankworth: Born 20 September 1927; died 6 February 2010
There are few British musicians who were better known and respected both at home and abroad than Sir John Dankworth, who has passed away at the age of 82 following a truly astonishing career that spanned the best part of seven decades and during which he did his utmost to bring jazz and classical music together, with great success.
In the autumn of 2007, both he and his wife of over 50 years, the singer Cleo Laine, celebrated their 80th birthdays with a critically acclaimed box set - I Hear Music - on Salvo and a concert at The Barbican, during which Sir John was a constant presence on stage, either playing his saxophone or vigorously directing the extraordinary musical ensemble that had come together in their honour.
One of Britain’s major jazz (and soundtrack) composers, arrangers and musicians, Dankworth always worked at the top end of the spectrum in both the music that he wrote and with whom he chose to perform; a list that includes everyone from Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald to Craig David! His active musical career, which included many concerts and recordings with his wife, showed few signs of abating in the last years of his life as he remained a major presence on the British jazz scene.
He made his first recordings (on clarinet) in the early 1940s and was a key player in the emergence of “the new jazz” (greatly influenced by the work of Charlie “Bird” Parker) in the UK after the war, forming his own ensemble, The Johnny Dankworth Seven in late 1949.
Cleo Laine became the band’s main singer in 1951. With discs like The Very Thought of You, from March 1952, and Easy Living the following year, Cleo Laine and the Johnny Dankworth Seven made a real mark on the British music scene. They worked at venues that ranged from provincial jazz clubs in the back rooms of pubs to the Royal Festival Hall. But from early in the 1950s Cleo also began to make records in her own right, usually with beautifully crafted arrangements by John.
They were married in 1958, around the same time as John diversified into scoring movies and TV shows. Among his best known credits are the theme tune for the TV show Tomorrow’s World and the classic 60s movies Modesty Blaise and Darling.
During the following decade their desire to bring jazz to a wider audience led them to found the Wavendon Allmusic Plan at the Allmusic Centre (Allmusic being John’s term for what would become popularly known as world music) at their home just outside Milton Keynes; a venue that hosted thousands of musical events over the ensuing years.
In 2006 John (who had been honoured with a CBE in 1974) became the first jazz musician to be knighted. He is survived by Cleo and their children Alec and Jacqui.
Salvo starts ZTT reissue programme with 808 State and Buggles
Founded by Trevor Horn, Jill Sinclair and Paul Morley in 1983, ZTT (Zang Tuum Tumb) enjoyed 45 UK Top 40 hits (fifteen of them Top 10) and produced well regarded and highly successful albums by the likes The Art of Noise, Propaganda, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and 808 State.
Under a new deal Salvo will be following up its acclaimed ZTT box set with reissues of all of the label’s classic albums as remastered deluxe editions with rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks, new liner notes and photos. First out of the block are two seminal dance albums from 808 State - 90 and ex:el and the long lost second album by The Buggles, which was essentially a Trevor Horn solo album.
With new "electro"-inspired artists like La Roux and Lady GaGa riding high in the charts there has never been a better time to look back at some of the pioneers of electronic dance music. Watch out for more ZTT releases throughout the year.
In the mean time you can view our 808 State trailer here:

MADNESS are the ultimate British singles band, holding the record for British single sales in the 1980s when over 6 million Madness singles were bought by the British public. Total Madness features 23 classic Madness tracks including 20 top 20 hits and all the accompanying videos on one fantastic value CD+DVD set.
The Move Anthology shortlisted for prestigious MOJO catalogue award
Salvo/Fly’s 4CD collection, The Move Anthology 1966-72, has been nominated for the catalogue award at the MOJO Honours List, the star-studded ceremony for which will be held next Thursday 11 June.
The other nominees are deluxe reissues from the likes of Miles Davis, Radiohead and Hawkwind but we hope our highly acclaimed Move release (click here for further details) can hold them off to continue Salvo’s proud (winning) association with these awards.
