Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne to Lucinda Williams, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide. Widely celebrated as a masterpiece—arguably the greatest concept album of all time—his spare, haunting 1975 debut LP Juarez is a violent, fractured tale of the chthonic American Southwest and borderlands. Produced in collaboration with the artist and remastered from the original master tapes, this is the definitive edition: the first reissue on vinyl; the first to feature the original artwork (including accompanying art prints); and the first to contextualize the album within Allen’s 50-year art practice. Deluxe package includes tip-on gatefold jacket, printed inner sleeve, download code, and 24 pp. book with related artwork, lyrics, and essays by Dave Hickey, Dave Alvin, and PoB.

Allen’s songs extract strangeness from the known world & use it as a means of acquiring greater knowledge. – The New Yorker

He’s pretty close to a master lyricist. – The New York Times

A masterpiece, one of the great songwriter records. It stands equal with classics like Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks & Newman’s Good Old Boys. – Dave Alvin

The single greatest concept album of all time. – PopMatters

Grounding high art. It will stay with you like a tattoo. – Richard Buckner

One of the more fascinating country albums of its time, like Willie Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger as reimagined by Tarantino. – AllMusic

Very few concept albums drum up & maintain the sincerity & reverence that Juarez encapsulates. – Aquarium Drunkard

A vortex of sex & violence. – David Byrne

Throw Lynch's violent masterworks Blue Velvet & Wild at Heart in a blender with Burroughs's Naked Lunch & Bowles's The Sheltering Sky, & you're getting warm. – Houston Press

I love Terry. He’s a funny son of a bitch. – Guy Clark

People tell me it’s country music, and I ask, “Which country?” – Terry Allen

In 2014 Paradise of Bachelors reissued iconoclastic English-born, Rome-based folk and experimental music legend Mike Cooper’s classic triptych of early 1970s avant-folk-rock records—Trout Steel (1970) and Places I Know/The Machine Gun Co. with Mike Cooper (1971-72)—to widespread critical acclaim, including Best New Reissue recognition from Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. But Cooper sowed the seeds of his deconstructivist music five years earlier in his rare earliest recordings, until now scarcely known and never reissued—fitting fodder for PoB’s very first Record Store Day release.

Named for The Shades, the Reading, UK folk club where he regularly performed, and which employed and housed guitar prodigy Derek Hall—who later played on Cooper’s 1969 debut LP Oh Really!?—the little-heard Out of the Shades EP was released in an extremely limited edition by local label Kennet Recordings in 1965 as KRS 766. The songs were recorded live to a single microphone in the kitchen/bathroom/former outhouse of Mike’s rambling Georgian apartment, on a portable Ferrograph reel-to-reel that the engineer otherwise used for “recording birds and trains.”

Recorded live to tape, with no overdubs, on the North Shore of Nova Scotia, Nap Eyes’ quietly contemplative sophomore record refines and elaborates their debut, offering an airier, more spacious second chapter, a bracing blast of bright oceanic sunshine after the moonlit alleys of Whine of the Mystic (PoB-20). But the briny, cold Atlantic roils beneath these exquisite, literate guitar pop songs, posing riddles about friendship, faith, mortality, and self-doubt.

For fans of The Only Ones/England’s Glory, The Modern Lovers, The Clean, The Verlaines, The Go-Betweens, Bedhead, and all things Lou Reed. With lyrics, color inner sleeve, and download code.

“Nap Eyes moves from psych-riffs to astrophysicists; from Rubaiyatic poetry to punctuated bass, in easy fluid motions. Chapman’s calm, steady voice can be as pained as Bob Dylan’s, and his lyrics can be just as profound.” - Noisey
