No words necessary rock n roll instrumentals cd WSRC138

I do a lot of work for Western Star Recording Company in ‘Wild West’ (well Somerset actually!). Loads of really cool rockabilly, psychobilly and rock ‘n’ roll bands record there and every now and again they release a themed compilation which requires a themed cover as opposed to one representing a specific band which is always fun. The brief on this one from Alan was a bunch of cool guitars floating in space. So here we go, all done and dusted and with the pressing plant for release in a few weeks time.

North Walsham & District Community Archive 2019 calendar

North Walsham Archive Calendars

I’m proud to complete another local design and print job. The North Walsham & District Community Archive 2019 calendar joins its predecessors. A 2 colour, litho printed, 32 page A4 calendar of North Walsham and local district scenes, photographed by local photographers, supported by local advertisers, produced in North Walsham (yep, that’s me!) and printed locally. You be hard pressed to find a more community created product. It’s useful, collectable and top quality. I really hope that many people will keep copies of these calendars for years to come as they will then preserve North Walsham’s photographic heritage for future generations. Which is, after all, what the North Walsham and District community archive group was set up to achieve.

WSRC137 - The Bullets EP Collection

The Bullets are a seriously hard rockin’ and tight 3 piece rockabilly outfit on the Western Star label and I’ve been lucky enough to work on artwork and pre-press several of their releases now. This is the latest, it’s a 13 track CD album which brings together all the tracks from their 3 vinyl EP releases on Western Star plus a new bonus track

Sounds from the Haunted Jukebox compilation CD

WSRC136 Sounds from the Haunted Jukebox compilation CD

Western Star compilation now off to the pressing plant for Halloween release. “Sounds from the Haunted Jukebox – Songs that go bump in the night” compilation CD features 24 rockabilly and psychobilly recordings from the Western Star Recording Studio all based on the darker side of the labels output. Songs about werewolves, demons, witches, vampires and zombies. Just my sort of thing. I got full reign over this packaging job including the illustration work which is great because the meeting of rock ‘n’ roll and horror pretty much sums up the pursuits of my whole life!

Repackaging for vinyl re-release for classic Sharks EP.

TRV10-04 The Sharks - Sir Psycho vinyl EP

I have just been repackaging this classic EP from “The Sharks” for a re-release on the Trophy record label on 45RPM vinyl. I remember getting the “Phantom Rockers” LP from Andy’s Records back in the day and it was the first time I’d come across the style that I have called psychobilly ever since. Yes, there was The Meteors and Cramps but the whole headshaving, ripped jeans super fast bass slapping thing was just an awesome modification to the whole rock ‘n’ roll thing I already loved. Another fine release to be involved with
