AMAZING NEWS FLASH!!!

Stardancer & Sunforest

Release date, June 15, 2009

Our dear friends at Cherry Red, UK and Lemon Records, have just released these two phenomenal albums on CD.  This is the FIRST time that 1972's "Stardancer" has ever seen a CD release, and it is a MASTERPIECE!  The new issue of "Sunforest" has been totally remastered and sounds better than ever.  In 1973, it was nearly Tom Rapp's final album, ever, until his reappearance in 1999, with "Journal Of The Plague Year".   Also watch for the double live Tom Rapp album, recorded in 1973, on WildCat Records, later this year.

The long awaited new album has finally arrived!

The NEW album from Pearls Before Swine!

$ 18.00 USD - Electronic Download Only

This long-awaited masterpiece is one of the few, rare live concert recordings of Pearls Before Swine as a performing band.  It was recorded live at the Exit Coffeehouse at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut by Walter Wagoner and meticulously restored, mixed and mastered by Joe Phillips at WildCat Records.  This intimate, small club setting is a perfect venue for Tom Rapp's most intimate delicacies.  There are some surprises here, including a never-before heard song.  Swine Faithful will note that this concert is almost identical to the one I referenced in my liner notes of the CD release of "Beautiful Lies You Could Live In" contained in the "Jewels Were The Stars" box set.  - Joe Phillips, Producer


The Complete ESP-Disk' Recordings.

We are extremely proud and pleased to present this Landmark release.  Years of engineering wizardry went into the restoration of Richard Alderson's magnificent production of the Swine's first two musical masterpieces.  Contains a beautifully illustrated 16 page color booklet with full lyrics and liner notes by Re-Issue Producer Joe Phillips, Fellow ESP/WildCat Artist and Songwriter Randy Burns and ESP-Disk Founder Bernard Stollman.  Our special thanks go to Rob Lake, who makes impossible things happen; Lisa, the Lil' Hurricane, who takes tasks by storm;  Gaylord Russell, for never giving bad technical guidance;  my wife, Nancy, for her patient tolerance in the face of insanity;  Thomas Rapp, for his sensitive intuition and compass and most of all, to Bernard Stollman, for believing in this project with meteoric intensity and support without which this great Art would not now belong to the Ages.  --  Joe Phillips
