We’re very psyched to announce our newest release! Blue Ash - “Dinner at Mr Billy’s” - a compilation featuring the first session they ever booked at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia all the way to the final track they recorded at Peppermint in 1979. One of the most seasoned & hardest working bands in the area, playing over 250 shows a year (sometimes playing 3 dances in a single night!) This is a comp for the BLASH heads as well as folks just scratching the surface. Hear songs that have been locked in the Peppermint vaults for over 50 years! Make your reservations for a full helping of psych tinged power pop rock for “Dinner at Mr Billy’s” TODAY!

Available in Black or BLASH BLUE!

Special thanks to Toby Seay at Drexel University Audio Archives for Sigma tape transfers & our Philadelphia brother Max Ochester at Brewerytown Records for connecting the dots.

As promised, here it is! Available NOW for PRE-ORDER on bandcamp! Morly Grey’s 1972 hard hitting masterpiece “The Only Truth” - originally recorded here at Peppermint, we’re happy to bring it back & re-release where it all started. As always, transferred from the original tapes by the original engineer on the original machine used to record. What more do you want? Well how about the first 100 orders will also get a 12x12 limited edition Letterpress poster made by Keith Berger at Typesetters Local .918. ?!

Get yours in Coney Swirl (hey look down, it’s the same color as the stain on your shirt from slinging a couple jay’s hot dogs down your gullet earlier for lunch.)

And for the purist, also available on black vinyl.

Sometimes you have to do things differently. Thank you Andy Gray.

It’s never been easier for an artist to record and release music. Anyone with a laptop and rudimentary skills can record songs and upload them to Spotify, post them on YouTube and / or share them with their friends and followers through social media. And those who don’t have any talent at writin...

Frank & Jim of Blue Ash dropped by for a little mixing session on something we got cookin’ up. Bonus points if you can find the hanging ash tray Gary put up for this session. It was a Blue Ash staple back in the day.

Up close and personal. Some of your Nick Adduci favorites presented a little differently. Great to hear these songs done this way.

Enjoy a collection of 27 different songs done by 27 different Penn-Ohio Polka Bands! The POPP is much like a patchwork quilt, bits & pieces of nationality groups - Slovak, Polish, Slovenian, Serbo-Crotin, Italian & Hungarian woven into fraternal blanket that covers the greater Mahoning Valley with its energy & music! A great collection for the polka collector or novice alike.

Order yours today!
