Label GB

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.

The Sonics are an American rock and roll group that formed in 1963 in Tacoma, Washington. They are considered pioneers of "proto-punk" and "garage rock". The band initially played at local dance halls and high schools until they were discovered by Buck Ormsby, the bass player of The Wailers. With Ormsby's help, they recorded two LPs that were released in 1965. Known for their crude and brutal sound, as well as Gerry Roslie's provocative lyrics and screams, The Sonics scored some minor hits before disbanding in 1969.
However, the band reunited in 2007 and has been actively performing since then. Their original lineup consisted of Gerry Roslie on organ, piano, and lead vocals; Rob Lind on saxophone, vocals, and harmonica; Larry Parypa on lead guitar and vocals; Andy Parypa on bass guitar; and Bob Bennett on drums. In their current lineup as of 2015, Freddie Dennis joined as the bass guitarist and lead vocalist while Dusty Watson took over the drums.
The Sonics' unique style has influenced many other artists in the genre. Some similar artists include The Seeds, ? &amp; The Mysterians, The Monks, The Standells, Count Five, MC5,and more.

Ace Records Spotlight

Boom – the Sonics’ second album, originally released in 1966 on Etiquette Records in wonderful mono. Boom still does much more than merely deliver on the promise of the first album, Here Are The Sonics!&nbsp;Few records have ever packed as much of a musical punch from start to finish.

Even more so than their first LP, it offers a representation of what the Sonics must have sounded like at the peak of their considerable powers. Recorded in the most glorious no-fi you could ever wish for and with anthem originals like Cinderella and He’s Waiting vying for your attention with what is possibly the most violent version of Louie Louie that there will ever be, Boom is an album that has always justified the esteem in which it is held by collectors around the globe.

All the modern bumph like barcodes and whatnot is on a disposable sticker, leaving your copy of Boom as original as possible.
