Meritorio Records Opens Reissue Side Hustle

December 16, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you’ve followed this site for any time, you’d know the name Meritorio Records; it’s a ATH household name, and we typically adore what they’re putting out. But, it can’t all be new music, can it? The answer is no, as label head Alvaro Lisson has opted to curate a new reissue label titled Dust and Memory. It’s a label that will likely be curated with generosity and care, highlighting some of the great tunes that have slid past our memories. The label has announced two reissues to kick things off: Everything is Green by the Essex Green and The Lore of Mysticore by Magic Castles. We’ve got some tunes to sample below, but you’re probably already hyper familiar. Excited to see what else Alvaro unearths, as his tastes are much admired! Grab copies HERE.

More Reissues from Manufactured Recordings

May 18, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Perhaps the best thing about the Internet age is the ability for folks to rediscover acts that were probably slightly in the first place. Manufactured Recordings is currently one of my favorites taking up the mantle in the reissue game, having currently released the excellent Modulators Tomorrow’s Coming. They’re back at it, with new reissues from Come On and The Containers. Come On was from the late 70s NY scene, and they definitely have an artful rock approach, filled with that almost spastic vocal delivery Byrne made cool. I’m a huge fan of the guitar parts in the tune…if you asked me. The Containers were a huge London underground hit, possibly getting their greatest stamp of approval from Robyn Hitchcock covering some of their tunes. The label will release The Containers Self-Contained and the self-titled LP from Come on…both hit on June 16th. I recommend just browsing their soundcloud for unearthed hits.
