Glitterhouse is a combined record label/mail order service out of Germany.
They still send out a monthly paper catalogue about 60 pages thick.
Although their prices have gone up recently and they take their time delivering (usually 3 weeks) they always have lots of cheap stuff on offer as well.
I have been a fan of their record label for a number of years now. Ever since, in fact, I discovered Sixteen Horsepower.
If you should happen to be a fan of that band and of David Eugene Edwards' new vehicle Woven Hand then this label is for you.
You could start by ordering this:
A double CD that'll cost you 2.95 €. It's a perfect overview of what the label is all about.
Apart from the two bands mentioned above other well known acts on Glitterhouse would be Pere Ubu, The Walkabouts, Midnight Choir and Willard Grant Conspiracy.
Save for Pere Ubu I own practically everything by the others. All good stuff
But for every one of those there's more acts that operate in the same vein.
Washington, Ben Weaver, Baskery, Hazeldine, Hobotalk, Get Well Soon, Timesbold.
The genre? Call it Americana, Gothic Country, Country Noir. You get my drift.
If you would happen to take a peek at their website http://label.glitterhouse.com/ then check out the 'mail order only' section as well. You can't go wrong with these:
Not in the shops, friends!
Personal favorites of mine? Here's some:
Go on and take a look. Let Glitterhouse Records surprise you.
