World Countdown
World Countdown is an enigmatic music newspaper that appeared fortnightly in California between August 1966 and July 1969. It offers the most vivid window possible onto the rapid evolution of the Californian music scene in those fabled days – but original copies are very rare and expensive. We are therefore delighted to be able to preserve and share its wondrous contents in this huge volume.

LABYRINTH
The massive Labyrinth celebrates over three hundred British jazz albums released between 1960 and 1975, offering background details, excerpts from original reviews, and high-quality images that reproduce their artwork and labels at near-full size, as well as an introduction by Tony Reeves (Mike Taylor Quartet, New Jazz Orchestra, Colosseum).
Covering trad jazz, mainstream jazz, abstract jazz, avant-garde jazz, serial jazz, free jazz, Indo-jazz, jazz-rock and more, it tells a story Britain should be proud of: open-minded and creative musicians pushing the boundaries of their art in the face of penury and indifference, and welcoming influences from a range of cultures via immigrant musicians such as Joe Harriott (Jamaica), Amancio D’Silva (India), Guy Warren (Ghana) and Harry Beckett (Barbados).
