Joe Banks
Rock and Role: The Visionary Songs of Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator (Book pre-order)
Joe Banks’ Rock and Role is the definitive biography of Peter Hammill (leader of Van der Graaf Generator, and one of the most unique solo artists in rock).
Coming in at over 500 pages, and illustrated with hundreds of images - many rare and previously unseen - Rock and Role is both a highly accessible biography and a serious critical appreciation of one of rock’s genuine visionaries.
Gregory Spawton (Big Big Train), co-owner of Kingmaker Publishing, comments, “Peter Hammill is a singular artist - a true original whose music has long deserved this kind of thoughtful, in-depth study.”
Pre-order for November 21 release. All pre-orders received by 31st October will be signed by Joe Banks.
Ian Anderson
Walk Into Light (half-speed remaster) (Vinyl pre-order)
Ian Anderson's inventive 1983 solo debut Walk Into Light combined sophisticated, cutting-edge Electro-Pop songs with typically pointed and uncompromising sociological lyrical observations.
A brave reinvention of an established identity - made in conjunction with keyboardist Peter-John Vetesse - the album reflected Anderson’s growing fascination with modern life, technology, and isolation.
Half-speed remastered from the original tapes by John Webber at AIR Studios, this 2025 black vinyl edition features restored artwork and imagery.
Pre-order for October 10 release.
Gazpacho
Magic 8-Ball (CD / Vinyl pre-order)
After a five-year break, Magic 8 Ball marks Gazpacho’s return with an album built around the idea of fate.
Structured as a series of short stories, each song follows a different character at a breaking point. Moments where something changes permanently, whether they see it coming or not.
The album stays true to Gazpacho’s core, atmospheric, layered, and emotional, but more focused.
Mixed by Thomas Juth (a-ha/Elton John/Paul McCartney/Cat Stevens).
Pre-order for October 31 release. Available on CD, black vinyl and as a limited sparkle vinyl edition.

AM PM Soho Live (CD/Blu-Ray / Vinyl pre-order)

Pre-order for September 19 release. Available as a CD/Blu-Ray edition with 5.1 and Atmos mixes, and on black double vinyl.

USA Tariffs - Update
Information for US customers
From August 29th 2025 the US government is adding a 10% tariff on most UK goods shipped into the USA.
Royal Mail have confirmed that the 10% tariff does not have to be paid on books, CDs, vinyl, DVDs, BluRays, cassettes, posters and photographs.
However, US customers will have to pay the 10% tariff on items such as t-shirts, hoodies and mugs. We must collect this when you place an order.
We are still working on these changes so although we are taking orders from US customers we will not resume shipping until next week (when we expect to start collecting any tariffs that are due).
“What about preorders and orders already placed?"
All orders placed before we implement these changes will not have paid any tariffs. Rather than asking you for any additional money we have taken the decision to pay this on your behalf.
Thanks for your patience.
