VOTARY EXCLUSIVE !!! Inner Space Film Footage
Votary has acquired footage from the groundbreaking documentary Inner Space. This is a rare peek at the film that inspired Sven's aquatic masterpiece. Svens music effectively submerges the listener but when expereinced in context it is even more vibrant. To view clip go to our 'Catalogue' page 'Inner Space' and click on the camera icon. More clips will follow. Thanks to the kindness and co-operation of Ron & Val Taylor.
JANUARY 2008
NEW SITE AND NEW RELEASES!!!!!
Happy New Year and welcome to Votary Records 2008. With the New Year brings change here. For those of you who have been here before, you will notice a drastic overhaul of the site. With this new environment we are ready to present our schedule for the first half of 2008!
As well as continuing our endeavour to re-release classic Australian Jazz Albums on CD and Vinyl, we also would like to announce our new series of limited edition 7inch vinyl releases.
To christen our new site, two great little 45’s are now on offer. First up is a little Inner Space! With an unfortunate delay on the full Inner Space LP we would like to compensate with a single from the legendary Australian soundtrack. Deliberately different from the original single, we chose to highlight two of our favourite tracks, Dark World and Danger Reef. Fear not Libaek Fans, the full LP is imminent!!
To accompany this we are also excited to offer another classic Aussie 45. The Col Nolan Soul Syndicate, ‘Buckingham Palace’ and ‘What’s the Use’. These two hugely popular tracks are sure to be winners this summer. Please note both singles are limited, so get in quick!!
Together with the legendary Australian Jazz producer Horst Liepolt we are proud to present classic Australian Jazz reissues from the famed '44' label. Arguably, there was no one more influential to the development of Australian Jazz in the 1970's than Horst Liepolt. We have selected three important Australian albums to showcase his production and vision of this prolific label.
1976 saw Liepolt re-release several seminal Australian Jazz works from the 60's. Among these was the highly important album Eastern Horizons by the Charlie Munro Quartet, originally recorded in 1967. Once again this incredible session will see another reissue.
The Second recording we will focus on is the 1974 session by the Jazz CO/OP. This is a brilliant example of the productive free Jazz environment of 1970’s Sydney. To round off the Showcase we represent Melbourne with the 1975 concept Album ‘Carlton Streets’ by the Brian Brown Quintet. This All-star session featured the city's busiest and most talented players. All three recordings feature many of the top Jazz musicians working in Australia at the time and we feel they best represent the nature of the ‘44’ label. Scheduled release dates are to be announced throughout the year.
Finally, more exciting news for Libaek fans! Coming soon will be a 45 of the Holy Grail library album ‘My Thing'. It will feature the brilliant ‘Misty Canyon’ and will be sided by the groovy ‘Soul Thing’. Once again limited copies have been pressed!
So, please take a look around the site. All of the currently available titles can be purchased through Pay Pal. If you desperately need to pay an alternative way drop us a line and we should be able to sort something out.
Soon, several new features will be up and running on the site. A page offering second hand LP’s from my personal collection plus some other interesting record related bits! By all means be sure to contact us with any queries, comments, whatever!
Best regards and welcome to Votary Records 2008
James and Stevie.
P.S - Thank you to everyone who purchased Inner Space last year. It was quite successful with some fantastic interest and reviews from all around the world. If you are still after a copy there is very limited stock available. And yes dammit, the LP is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
