Compilations & Reissues of the Year 2023

Ace Records is a UK label that was conceived in the 70s by Ted Carroll, Roger Armstrong, and Trevor Churchill. Originally selling secondhand 45s on a London market stall, they later set up Chiswick Records and focused on releasing work by "pub rock" bands. As the 80s arrived, Ace shifted its focus to the reissue market and became known as Ace Records of Camden Town. Today, Ace has established itself as a reputable name in the reissue market with numerous sub-labels catering to various musical styles.

With an extensive catalog spanning R&B, blues, soul, funk, jazz, rock 'n' roll, folk, country, punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, cajun,z ydeco,and world music,Ace offers something for every music lover. In addition to their own releases,Ace frequently licenses and acquires labels like Flair and Modern which allows them to reissue original releases and compile new ones in different formats.

It's worth noting that LP releases from Ace have been reissued under the same cat# but with different label designs over time. When submitting requests or searching for specific releases,it's important to include both an indication of the label design present and supporting images if possible.

Incident At a Free Festival is a tribute to the mid-afternoon slots at Deeply Vale, Bickershaw, Krumlin, Weeley, and Plumpton – early 70s festivals that don’t get the column inches afforded the Isle of Wight or Glastonbury Fayre, but which would have been rites of passage for thousands of kids. Bands lower down the bill would have been charged with waking up the gentle hippies and appealing to both the greasy bikers and the girls in knee-high boots who wanted to wiggle their hips. And the best way to do that was with volume, riffs and percussion.

Compiled by the venerated Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs of Saint Etienne, this is the heavier side of the early 70s they summarised on the acclaimed English Weather collection. There’s an air of menace and illicit thrills among tracks by Andwella, Stack Waddy and Leaf Hound (whose “Grower of Mushroom” album is worth well over £1,000). Bigger names include the rabble-rousing Edgar Broughton Band and kings of the festival freakout, Hawkwind. They are represented by the rare Ejection single.

For every mystical Tyrannosaurus Rex performance there was something 
like Atomic Rooster’s Tomorrow Night or Curved Air’s Back Street Luv to 
capture the spirit of the day and stir the loins of festival goers; the 
tracks on Incident At a Free Festival were inspired by both Chicago’s 
percussive wig-outs and the Pink Fairies’ anarchic spirit. The sounds 
were heavy and frequently funky, with a definite scent of danger. Their 
message was clear and simple: clap your hands, stamp your feet, hold on 
to your mind.

So, put on your wellies in your living room, drop the needle or fire up the CD or record player and enjoy.
