Weaselsnout - Unsung Lies
180g Black Vinyl & CD(includes 4 bonus tracks)
Streetdate 1/22/27
Few private pressings have acquired quite the mystique of ‘Unsung Lies’. Julian Mount’s 1973 debut under the Weaselsnout name survives in fewer than 100 copies, commands over $1,200 at auction, and earns a full five discs for rarity in Hans Pokora’s 4001 Record Collector Dreams — the kind of credentials that place it firmly among the holy grails of the English folk underground.
The record itself, cut at home in North Watford on an open reel tape machine, is a quietly extraordinary thing. Mount’s original songs are filled with gentle eccentricity and unhurried melody, his acoustic guitar and warm, conversational voice carrying the spirit of the London folk clubs he frequently played. There is a lo-fi honesty to the whole enterprise that feels less like a limitation than a quality — something intimate, unguarded, and entirely of its moment.
Seelie Court’s deluxe reissue brings Unsung Lies to the wider audience it has long deserved. Extensive liner notes, drawn from conversations with Mount himself, tell the full story behind a record that was never meant to be rare — and never stopped being remarkable.

RSD Essential special announcement!
Labi Siffre – So Strong
Ivory Vinyl
RSD Essential 113
Streetdate 3/5/2027
So Strong is the seventh studio album by British singer-songwriter Labi Siffre. Released originally in1988 on China Records – this is the first vinyl re-issue of the album. Marked as a triumphant return after nearly a decade away from recording, the album features Siffre’s signature blend of soul, pop, and contemporary adult vocal styles. “(Something Inside) So Strong” was released as the lead single in early 1987 and reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart and won an Ivor Novello Award. Siffre wrote the anti-apartheid anthem in response to seeing white soldiers firing on Black civilians in South Africa, while also drawing deeply on his personal experiences as a Black, gay man. The song has remained enduringly popular and is an example of the political and sociological thread running through much of Siffre’s lyrics and poetry.

RSD Essential special annoucement!
Parliament – Osmium
Green & Yellow Merge Vinyl
RSD Essential 112
Streetdate 3/5/2027
Demon Records is proud to present Osmium - the first recordings credited to the funk-rock ensemble Parliament-Funkadelic. Produced by Ruth Copeland, Osmium offers up a diverse bag of tricks comprising gospel, soul, funk, rock, and country arrangements with accompaniment ranging from heavy electric guitar fuzz, acoustic serenity, and even bagpipes. Many of these recordings are still as far-out as they sounded when first released. However, the tracks here represent the genesis of what would become P-Funk and the entity that would give the world ground-breaking albums Maggot Brain (1971), Mothership Connection (1975), and One Nation Under a Groove (1978).

Featuring “1nce Again” and “Stressed Out,” the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has become an important bridge between the group’s celebrated early catalog and the next phase of their creative evolution. This RSD Essentials LP is pressed on sangria swirl color vinyl.

Vince Guaraldi - It’s a Mystery, Charlie Brown
Magnifying Glass Clear Vinyl
Premiere of the 12”, BioVinyl LP, celebrating 75 years since Vince Guaraldi started his professional music career. There are four bonus tracks from the “Mystery session” and two additional jazz standards recorded around the same time featuring Ron McClure on bass.
“Mystery” was the 11th Peanuts special Guaraldi composed and performed on piano. The quartet features Seward McCain - Bass, and Mike Clark/Eliot Zigmund – drums, and Tom Harrell - trumpet.
Available for the first time ever on Vinyl, CD and digital. The record was mixed and mastered for audiophiles, jazz lovers, and Peanuts fans everywhere. Terry Carleton mixed “Mystery” at Bones and Knives Studio, Vinson Hudson restored and mastered the album and Sean & Jason Mendelson produced the record. The LP includes a 4-page insert with art from the special, liner notes by Sean & Jason Mendelson, and Derrick Bang (author of “Vince Guaraldi at the Piano”) and it comes with a magnifying glass to help solve some of the MYSTERIES in the release.
The indie-exclusive record comes in clear “magnifying glass” BioVinyl variant. It does not magnify, but it will help with solving all the mysteries to be discovered inside.
