Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In addition, conventional wisdom holds that The Beatles marks the beginning of the end of the Lennon\/McCartney partnership. This book however, exists to argue that The Beatles is not only the finest achievement of the group but can also be considered one of the greatest LP recordings of all time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739393138961,"sku":"NGR9781909394605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50290965020945,"sku":"GOR009846277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615991492881,"sku":"NLS9781909394605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909394602.jpg?v=1751155568"},{"product_id":"gathering-of-the-tribe-landscape-book-mark-goodall-9781909394834","title":"Gathering of the Tribe: Landscape","description":"It is clear that landscapes have long inspired the consciousness of creative artists. By way of quick introduction to the links between music and territories, the 1977 KPM 1191 library music LP features a suite of pieces with titles such as 'Country Lanes', 'Passing Meadows' and 'Memory Lane' composed by Johnny Pearson to express the different aspects of (mostly rural) landscapes. The pieces are interesting as they try to capture an immersive experience of being in a land by using sound. This is a process by which many of the composers in this volume hope to express the wonder and mystery of landscape through sound. The music has been made to express a variety of landscapes: rural and urban; real and imaginary. About the series: GATHERING OF THE TRIBE is an on-going series about the mysterious power of sound and tone, with each book devoted to reviewing records that reveal divine and cosmic laws, voyages to other worlds or use sound as a tool for transformation. While highly selective, the series offers a practical guide to the ultimate occult record collection. Rare album sleeves complement each review.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742171177233,"sku":"NGR9781909394834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50759782695185,"sku":"GOR014061025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53600927252753,"sku":"NIN9781909394834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909394831.jpg?v=1751155568"},{"product_id":"gathering-of-the-tribe-acid-book-mark-goodall-9781915316035","title":"Gathering of the Tribe: Acid","description":"The records discussed in GATHERING OF THE TRIBE: ACID explore the key aspects of the acid experience, these being principally the way in which psychedelic drugs intensify sensory impressions (sound and vision); the ability to experience different dimensions simultaneously and mystical dimensions where the individual feels unified with the cosmos.

That combination of material practice and the transcendent can be found within the strange combination of records discussed in this publication. With music, one can transpose imagination, visions and dreams into 'sacred rites'. 'Heavy conscious creation', the theme of this series, embodies the realisation of occult and esoteric ideas through artistic expression, in this case sonic arts. The music discussed here is using elements of ritual to immerse the listener in the experience of a magical rite; it may aid the listener in spiritual enlightenment in some way but might also simply provide entertainment and an engaging listening experience. Ritual is a form of living action and while LP records are encountered as objects mostly on the aural plane, an innovative and surprising use of sound can conjure up all manner of images, places and emotions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743718875409,"sku":"NGR9781915316219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915316219.jpg?v=1751282712"},{"product_id":"sweet-savage-book-mark-goodall-9781909394506","title":"Sweet \u0026 Savage","description":"Sweet and Savage was the first ever English-language title devoted exclusively to the controversial and influential mondo documentary film cycle. This revised edition remains the first serious study of mondo as a global film phenomenon and includes a highly detailed examination of the key films of this cult genre. The author identifies the principle stylistic aspects of the mondo genre through a fascinating 'non-linear' approach that echoes the collage shock effects of the original films. Sweet and Savage also includes some unique material contributions, and is lavishly illustrated with many rare photographs, stills, posters, record sleeves etc.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50287425814801,"sku":"GOR009922115","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148633633041,"sku":"NLS9781909394506","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52907549884689,"sku":"CIN1909394505G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909394505.jpg?v=1751187502"},{"product_id":"bright-young-things-book-mark-goodall-9783955752378","title":"Bright Young Things","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51628367708433,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51628367937809,"sku":"NGR9783955752378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3955752372.jpg?v=1751189923"},{"product_id":"gathering-of-the-tribe-sex-book-mark-goodall-9781915316455","title":"Gathering of the Tribe: Sex","description":"'Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises' (Johnny Rotten, Rolling Stone) The theory is that sex sells. And sex sells music. The connections between music and sexuality are long-standing, 'rock'n'roll' itself being a slang term for sex, and there are many ways in which ar sts have explored sex and love through the medium of sound. Some of the records discussed in this book are experiments in expressing sexual desire through musical forms, mixing musical and sexual sounds. Others use sex purely as a marketing device or as 'whimsical entertainment' (sexualised images on LP covers, for example). Other records examine the politics of sexuality and\/or offer a subversive take on the relationship between popular music and eroticism. As an accessible form of 'entertainment, the LP was part of the 'democratization' of sexuality and erotica, something that was previously only available to the upper classes collecting erotic and pornographic materials on their many travels around the globe. Recorded music extended the reach of sexual content from literature, with books such as An ABZ of Love by Inge and Sten Hegeler (1963) or Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex (1972), into the audio-visual realm. The 'stirrings of the soul', the animation of the spiritual and the emotional, is what 'heavy conscious creation' is about and the sexual aspect of this is significant and profound. Canadian electroacoustic composer Robert Normandeau once claimed that 'music, unlike other contemporary art forms, has hardly dealt with eroticism as a genre'. This book tries to fill in the gaps that this statement implies. And the 'two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises' that Johnny Rotten spoke about are here, sometimes literally, in musical form.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51869622436113,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51869622698257,"sku":"NGR9781915316455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53132101222673,"sku":"NLS9781915316455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53216633520401,"sku":"NIN9781915316455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781915316455.jpg?v=1771504293"},{"product_id":"gathering-of-the-tribe-book-mark-goodall-9781900486859","title":"Gathering of the Tribe","description":"From Mozart to Miles Davis, it is a matter of record that over the centuries composers and musicians have been consistently inspired by the occult. Few music lovers' curiosity can fail to have been piqued by the rumours of magick and mysticism that surround many of their favourite records.
