Well known as the world's leading blues, soul, rock 'n' roll and rock reissue label, Ace Records expands IODA's catalog of more than one million tracks with music from some of...
The quality of the singles released on Jackson, Mississippi's Ace Records during the 1950s and early '60s was so consistently high that almost any compilation is a worthwhile addition to anyone's New Orleans collection. But this mid-priced volume has much to recommend it. With the exception of the inclusion of the seemingly obligatory "Sea Cruise" from Frankie Ford and "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie...
Originally released (in limited numbers) on vinyl in 1988 on Billy Childish’s Hangman label, Rare & Unissued by The Prisoners gets a welcome reissue this week from Big Beat through Ace Records. Rare & Unissued brings together all the hard-to-find...
On any list of underrated soul singers, Al Wilson has to rank near the top. Wilson, who died this past Monday of kidney failure at the age of 68, had one big hit in 1974 with “Show and Tell,” a peerless piece of smooth early ’70s soul that reached number one on the Billboard pop [...]

Sad to hear legendary soul singer Al Wilson has died - aged 68 of kidney failure. Plenty of music out there (including a recent compilation of the man's work from Ace Records), but there's only one thing to highlight really....
Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you dig deep in the Acid Jazz archives, you'll find some really interesting stuff - including Stoned Woman by Mother Earth. And we have copies to give away. The 1991 album has been...
Thank You Friends: The Ardent Records Story is out now in the UK on Ace/Big Beat. According to the Ace Records press, the 2-disc collection from the legendray Memphis recording studio contains "no less than 14 rare or unissued Big...
With only two of The Fab Four barely standing, pondering the legacy of their artistic impact becomes less and less interesting with each passing day. All that's left to ponder are the reactions of all the other bands when faced with such a pervasive cultural icon. In the case of the Ace Records comp Beatlemaniacs , you get to hear abundant examples of supreme nobodies attempting to touch the hemlines...
Ace Records in England has just issued a two-disk, 50-song CD of tunes Bob Dylan has played on his XM Radio show, "Theme Time Radio Hour." It's great stuff with just one problem.
I wish, now, that I'd spent more time at Ted Carroll's Rock On stall, hidden away in the Golborne Road market at the top of Portobello Road in London. There was nothing fashionable about Ted's record stall, founded on his purchase of a couple of thousand 45s on the London American label from a dealer in his native Dublin at a flat price of threepence-ha'penny each and sold to the likes of me for pound...
While venerable coffee giant Starbucks has been struggling to compete in the beverage department of late, they seem to be hitting the mark with their in-store music selection (that doubles as a check-out impulse buy). For their latest release they've gotten the former Robert Zimmerman to handpick selections for an Artist Choice compilation. Read on for the track list of sixteen songs you've probably...

Produced by Eddie Gorodetsky and Ace’s own Roger Armstrong the 2 CD set is based around 828 tracks played by Bob Dylan in the 50 episodes of the first series. With [...]
These days, fans of 60s girlgroup obscuria needn't depend on vinyls alone, when there's so many compilations and reissues out there! Whether or not they are readily available at your nearest music megastore is another story. But then, there is always eBay and Amazon. I know that there are blogs a-plenty with free downloads of full compilations (out of print or otherwise), but I honestly believe that...
