(Note : Leong Lau has remained something of an anomaly in the record collecting scene.
A fantastic LP loaded with wah guitar, fuzz solos, flute solos,and wild vocals.
A truly impressive offering, it's amazing that an album of this quality still
remains unknown to so many collectors and dealers. Extremely rare and hardly
ever available (even in Australia where it was made), we are proud to finally
bring this one to the world with Leong's full approval+includes poster insert)

SR 21 PETER WALE : GOODBYE CAPE TOWN, AND GOOD RIDDANCE 3LP 08.2019
Released in South-Africa, in a tiny run of 200 copies in 1972, the original version of
this excellent 85-minute(!) psychedelic/progressive recording, loaded with acid flutes
and far out guitar solos, only offered four of the tracks. Now available as a TRIPLE-LP
set, with the records spinning at 45rpm, Peter Wale's complete recording is finally
available as it was intended back in the day. And it includes a large, 4-page booklet.
Fans of like-minded South-African acts s.a. The Abstract Truth, Freedom's Children and
McCully Workshop will be delighted!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SR 022 BLACKFOOT MILLIE LP 12.2017
The scorching 1975 debut-LP by Zambia's highly regarded garage-psych unit Blackfoot
sees a welciome reissue on vinyl! The album was originally released on the private
Goodson label with the title 'Youth Power', and later picked up by Zambia Music Palour
and put out as 'Millie'. The 2017 edition of this true Zamrock classic is limited to
500 copies, presented in tip-on jackets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SR 023 BLACKFOOT FOOT STEPS LP 12.2017
The 1978 full-length by Zambia's garage-psych legends sees a most welcome reissue.
This essential Zamrock document offers plenty of incredible songs, including 'Lonely
Highway', 'Send Me The Flowers', 'Mwe Bafyahi', 'When I Needed You' and many more.
With the sound taken from the original master reels, this edition is limited to 500
copies, all packaged in nice tip-on jackets.

sounds that would create a bridge into Zambia's short-lived disco scene. Hector's
music will appeal to fans of Harry Mwale and Osaye. Taken from the original master
tapes and pressed at 45rpm for the best possible sound, limited to 300 copies.

SR 026 FIREBALLS DOTS LP 01.2021
"Presented here is one of the most rare Zamrock LPs you'll ever encounter. Though
Dots was recorded at Zambia's Malachite Film Studios in 1978 the full-length never
saw a release of any kind in any format until 2020. That's when Strawberry Rain worked
with Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters to do a full restoration and remastering for
inclusion in an 8 LP Zamrock boxset. Remaining copies of this recently rediscovered
Zamrock gem are now available as the Fireball's Dots is issued for the first time
ever as a stand-alone release."

SR 031 GIANT STEP GIANT ON THE MOVE LP 04.2021
Giant Step's 'Giant On The Move' was released independently on both LP and cassette
in 1976. The original vinyl release had been limited to just four songs, resulting in
more than half the album being omitted from the LP edition. A progressive rock piece,
Giant Step's second album demonstrated the true potential of the group and cemented
their place in Indonesia's rock history. Lead singer and legendary rocker Benny
Soebardja once again worked with British songwriter Bob Dook to deliver quality songs.
