Released in 2014 by RockBeat Records, Halloween Nuggets: Monster Sixties a Go-Go is an ambitious, sprawling, and beautifully curated three-disc box set celebrating the glorious golden age of vintage novelty horror rock. Packing an incredible ninety-eight tracks across over three and a half hours, this collection unearths a goldmine of highly obscure, rare, and deeply entertaining mid-century gems primarily spanning the late 1950s and the 1960s. The musical lineup is exceptionally diverse, offering a magnificent blend of raw garage rock stomp, surf rock twang, wild rockabilly, and early psychedelic experimentations all bound together by ghoulishly playful themes. Listeners are treated to an absolute festival of monsters, witches, vampires, and ghouls, featuring iconic tracks like Round Robin's driving I'm The Wolfman and Jackie Morningstar's frantic Rockin' In The Graveyard. Interspersed throughout the musical selections are dozens of authentic, spine-tingling audio snippets and vintage horror movie theatre trailers, including timeless advertisements for cult classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Robot Monster, and Night Of The Blood Beast. This definitive compilation serves as the ultimate high-energy time capsule for collectors of vintage garage rock and obscure Americana pop culture artifacts.

UK three CD collection. This release charts the birth of synthesized pop music in the 1980s and ultimately the roots of contemporary electronic dance music. The importance and continued popularity of '80s pop is not to be underestimated, and the emergence of serious synthesized music producers in Kraftwerk, The Human League, Heaven 17, OMD, Yazoo, Ultravox, Talk Talk, Japan, Devo, Sparks, Gary Numan, New Order and the Pet Shop Boys, all of whom massively pushed the boundaries in experimenting with (mainly) Roland synths in this era, ultimately showed the way for the House and Techno producers of the '90s to the present day. Within this more serious side there was also some brilliant, pure Synthpop from the Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Thomas Dolby, Simple Minds, Propaganda, Erasure, China Crisis, Belouis Some, the Lotus Eaters, a Flock of Seagulls, Howard Jones, Blancmange and the Associates.

Instrumentals have always played a special role in the rock ’n’ roll era. By creating a sonic landscape unencumbered by the weight of lyrics and voices (save for, perhaps, the occasional utterance of a catchy title), they provide listeners unique markers with which to chronicle the romance, revelry and adventure in their young lives, freeing minds to stir up images and memories in ways other kinds of songs cannot.

With Acrobat’s catalogue having grown substantially, and its product strategy evolved significantly over the years, we are occasionally looking to repurpose some of our early albums in the context of the product formats that are now more widely used in our releases. This 70-track 3-CD set comprises the complete contents, plus some added titles, of three products released in our ACRCD range more than fifteen years ago, and which offered the opportunity to assemble a nicely coherent, substantial and enhanced single product at a lower price than the three single CDs combined. Those CDs were ACRCD 117, 118 & 119 “Bebop Vols. 1, 2 & 3”. The titles on those three CDs have now been re-compiled in chronological order, with duplicated titles removed and twelve new titles added, along with a substantial booklet. The collection comprises recordings which are seen as significant performances in the genesis and development of bebop as a genre, or regarded as important or notable examples of bebop. The tracks have also been selected so that a significant proportion of the artists regarded as pioneers, innovators or noted exponents of bebop are represented in the collection. On that basis, it features a host of great names not only in bebop but in the wider world of jazz, and the collection offers a highly entertaining an insightful trawl across a dynamic jazz decade.

The Hits Album: Soft Rock Road Trip presents the greatest soundtrack possible for your roadtrip travelling through some of the greatest songs from the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s.
