Secret Records

Secret Records is a renowned music label that was established in 1980. Originally starting as a punk label, it has since evolved and expanded its genre choices over the years. In the 1990s, Secret Records began exploring a broader range of genres beyond punk. As the new millennium arrived, the focus shifted towards releasing music DVDs and live CDs, which remains their primary concentration to this day.

The diverse catalogue of Secret Records showcases an impressive collection of *artists* from various musical backgrounds. With a rich history spanning several decades, this label has played a significant role in shaping the music industry.

Owned by [l53816], Secret Records continues to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional music experiences through their high-quality releases. Whether you're a fan of punk or seeking out captivating live performances on CD or DVD, Secret Records offers an extensive selection that caters to all music enthusiasts.

This album is an overview of the work of Jackson C. Frank, friend and peer of the likes of Paul Simon, Bert Jansch and (his girlfriend for a while), SandyDenny. It just about spans his entire career, from his first 1965 single to 3 tracks recorded in 1994.

It also includes 5 tracks never before released, which he performed when presenting the “My Kind Of Folk” radio show in 1968. His most well-known song “Blues Run The Game” (included here in the rare single version, along with the non-album b-side) has been covered by Simon and Garfunkel, Counting Crows, Bert Jansch and Eddi Reader, and Nick Drake recorded 4 of his songs. In recent years, Jackson’s work has come to be recognised much more widely, and his music (particularly “Blues Run The Game”) has been included in many TV programmes and films, with “My Name Is Carnival” featuring in 2019’s huge hit “Joker”.

Comes with extensive sleeve notes detailing the tragic life of this folk artist. Sessions include: “My Kind Of Folk” Nov 13, 1968. “Shotwell Sessions,” recorded June 5, 1972. “Rude Sessions,” recorded May 9, 1974. “Mekeel Sessions,” recorded in May, 1975. “The Anderson Sessions,” recorded in September, 1994.
