Store Categories STARK REALITY Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop / 3x LP NEW VINYL / Now-Again 2015

The Stark Reality's legendary album, ...Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop, is a funky, jazzy, fuzz-toned cult classic, consists of very original interpretations of a children's album written by Hoagy Carmichael and was originally released on Ahmad Jamal's boutique label, AJP Records. For years, the album made the rounds in underground hip-hop circles (being sampled along the way by the likes of Large Professor, J-Live, Madlib, and Black Eyed Peas), trading hands for ridiculous sums on the second-hand market -- even after it saw a reissue on Now Again as part of the Acting, Thinking, Feeling 6xLP boxset which gathered other recently discovered, previously unreleased material from the band's career.

Now, ...Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop is available on vinyl for the very first time since its initial 1970 release in a deluxe 3-LP release including a 56 page digital booklet with never before seen photos, extensive liner notes by Egon of Now Again Records with commentary by AJP founder Ahmad Jamal and annotation and an interview with Monty Stark, the band's frontman.
