{"product_id":"early-works-v2-lp","title":"Early Works Vol. 2: Music From The Archives","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released in 2022. Over many backbreaking and expensive months in 2020, the beating heart of ATA records was stripped, monolithic bits of kit were pulled from dusty corners and into the light to learn their fate: resettlement in the new ATA or sold off, to pay for the studio's rejuvenation. Tough decisions were made but the end product was worth the sacrifice. ATA now has natural light, some very swish carpeting, new soundproofing and even a sofa, surprisingly tasteful, in the, now, spacious, control room. No more sitting on rickety stools and balancing a coffee on your knee. Once the studio began to take shape again and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Innes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was finally able to take a breath he began rooting through the label's archives, pulling out reels that had been propping up tables, holding open doors and generally lurking in nooks and crannies for years. It didn't take long for Neil to realize how special some of these snippets of the past were, especially some of the vocal outings with his former \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLove of the Brave\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e band mate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFuzzy Jones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. As he wandered down memory lane he started to pair some of these rediscovered treasures with tracks by more recent artists, such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Magnificent Tape Band\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sorcerers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and the compilation began to take shape. Studio favorites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mandatory Eight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e make another appearance, as do \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eIvan Von Engleberger's Asteroid\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. There is finally an opportunity to own \"Bang Bang Boogaloo\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Joe Tatton Trio\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on vinyl, a stone cold mover that only came out on 7\". Also included is a track by long-time ATA collaborator \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Dawkins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an artist Neil is effusive about. In this particular case Chris is recording under the name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEarl Dawkins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a conscious move to separate his jazz output from his other work. As ATA studio moved into its next phase it seemed only fitting to celebrate the music birthed from the early days of its first incarnation. Old music to celebrate a new dawn.
