The Pop Corporation

Be With Records are one of the best in the business and wonderfully, they’ve reached 10 years of releasing great records old and new. To celebrate this, they’re releasing a book and album and there’s a lot of cool names attached to it too!

You can now pre-order the ‘Joyride’ LP and the ‘Labour Of Love’ book, and the best thing is that they come as a pair in one gorgeously designed slipcase!

For your buck, you’ll get 10 never heard before on vinyl tracks from Thomas Almqvist, Coastlines, Kenny Dickenson, Lewis Taylor, Mic Murphy, 52nd Street, Maston, The Autumn Defense, Stimulator Jones and Andre Cymone.

The book features exclusive interviews with the legendary Ned Doheny, Leon Ware, Lewis Taylor, the super Tommy Guerrero, Wally Badarou, Steve Moore, Pete Fowler, Kimiko Kasai, 52nd Street, The Autumn Defense, Coastlines and The Mighty Soulmates. There’ll also be pieces from Gilles Peterson speaking on his love of Ned Doheny, Trevor Jackson on Nucleus, Bill Brewster on Marti Caine, Balearic Mike on Kylie and Lou Hayter on Air.

They say: “Without question, this package represents the most exciting, daunting and rewarding thing that the label has ever put together. Some time in 2023, we had the idea that 2024 should feature some special releases, events and, well, “things”. The “thing” is the very book and record you’re reading about. Thanks to the brother Jim – writer and editor of the very thing – for suggesting we do a book. Anyway, how could Be With do a book, shaped like a record sleeve and sized the same, without including a record inside to complete a very special package of “Be Withness”?”
