Hey total tangent here, but remember a while back I tried to send you a blues record? It was Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Sing. I’m reading a book called Step It Up and Go all about music in NC. It turns out those dudes were a really big deal here in Durham.
I do! I own a couple of their albums. They also low key didn’t like each other. If you ever hear any of the live recordings they’d even go at it on stage on occasion.
As did I. The lead single "Hold Yourself." is pretty good.
Tag me all you want! Every time I go to post something you’ve beat me to it. For example the Shovels and Rope today.
It's been a while since they put out a release On Slyvinyl, but if you are interested in a really niche label with the most amazing looking records then I suggest you check out Wax Vessel Records. They do a release once or twice a month and they do sick wax mages and swirls and everything. There is nothing boring at all with every release they do. The first time I ever seen a wax mage was from this label for a local Grindcore band I like from Oklahoman City called Destroyer Destroyer. If a label was putting out something like that for a band I thought only I knew about then I knew I needed to pay attention.

Gene Russell Talk to My Lady LP
Gene Russell: Talk to My Lady (Remastered Vinyl Edition) LP Regular Version The first album released by the most sought-after label, bar none, among jazz collectors! And since keyboardist Gene Russell was at the artistic helm of Black Jazz, it was only natural that the label's debut record...
Henry Franklin The Skipper LP
Though it's hard to pick a winner among the estimable Black Jazz catalog, this 1972 release from bassist Henry 'The Skipper' Franklin would have to be near the top of the list. Franklin got his start woodshedding with Latin maverick Willie Bobo in the mid-'60s and went on to play with The Three...

Appreciate the detailed responseIt's been a while since they put out a release On Slyvinyl, but if you are interested in a really niche label with the most amazing looking records then I suggest you check out Wax Vessel Records. They do a release once or twice a month and they do sick wax mages and swirls and everything. There is nothing boring at all with every release they do.

If a label was putting out something like that for a band I thought only I knew about then I knew I needed to pay attention.
The other really niche aspect of them is that they only do one-time pressings and everything is from the MySpace era metal scene. Stuff like Grindcore, Metalcore, Death-Metal, Cybergrind, Deathcore, Emo-Violence, and some Doom-Metal stuff.
All releases are from bands that have never had vinyl pressings before. Really obscure underground basement show stuff.
Lastly every release they put out ends up flipping for insane prices. I had about the first ten releases they did and honestly sold everyone of them and kept my favorite. I used the money to buy all the original My Bloody Valentine ep's and the Burial / Massive Attack split which are all super rare and expensive.

. Always looking for new labels to follow, from popular to obscure. Thanks so much!
His first album, Nation of Heat, is really great. So is Messenger.
