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 released work by "pub rock" bands. As the 80s arrived, Ace decided to focus on 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 various sub-labels catering to different 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 enthusiast. In addition to their own releases,Ace frequently licenses and acquires labels like Modern Blues Recordings and Flair from the Bihari Brothers,reissuing original releases and new compilations across various formats.

It's worth noting that LP releases under Ace often feature different label designs but carry the same cat#; therefore,it's important to refer to images when submitting or purchasing these records.Ace continues to be a trusted source for timeless music,releasing carefully curated collections that celebrate diverse genres while preserving musical heritage.

The wildest, weirdest, most nostalgic, most beautiful, most party-starting reissues and compilations from 2023.

Ace Records is thrilled to be working with seminal singer-songwriter, toast of this year's Olivier Awards and all-round Sheffield legend Richard Hawley on this, the first volume of a compilation series of some of his favourite singles. This is a selection of 28 7''s that Richard has collected on his travels around the globe, through friends, family, collectors, word of mouth, thrift shop finds, pub jukebox gems and everything in between. Richard refers to the glue that joins these selections together as 'Little Bangers' as they are all mini hand grenades; bright lights that explode and fizzle out, some big names, some rarities, some lost souls, some obscurities, some by artists he actively enjoys knowing almost nothing about other than they want to get him on his feet and dance. Many are garage instrumentals, exposing the guitar-line as lead melody and the art of telling a story without lyrics.

As Richard puts it, 'I’m fascinated by the 7-inch single because of the discipline of it. A 7-inch single can only contain a certain amount of information... So, you have to learn the discipline of cramming all that information and craft into a short space of time. If you imagine this album as a piece of bacon, there’s absolutely no fat on it at all. It’s just juicy meat. There aren’t flabby recordings, they are very nimble.'

We're extra proud that the Hendrix Estate have allowed us to include Curtis Knight and The Squires' ferocious and never previously licensed 'Hornet's Nest' which naturally we proudly kick off with. We feature the five-minutes-plus long version that has never been released before. The pace never slackens, taking in the Shadows, Link Wray, the Troggs, the Champs, Jimmy Gordon and so many more besides. It's joyful, it's relentless, and you can listen to it on repeat for a thousand miles.
