***BACK IN STOCK!!!  
Anthology Recordings is pleased to announce the reissue of the long out of print—and never before officially issued in the US—trilogy of albums by CATHERINE RIBEIRO + ALPES, 1970’s N°2, 1971’s Âme Debout, and 1972’s Paix. Anthology’s presentation of these foundational LPs, arguably the group’s finest hours on wax, fills in a crucial missing link in the canon of psychedelic and experimental music of the '60s and '70s. In a lineage with other uncompromising women singers such as Edith Piaf, Nico, and Diamanda Galas, Ribeiro's is a sound of possession, of ritual. Her approach shares more with performance art than it does with pop music. It’s the sound of love and madness and political tumult, stripped bare and emerged from dark recesses. With her weighty voice, she emphasized expression and meaning over immaculate, adventurous musicality. Each LP includes its own insert featuring photos and original press material culled from Ribeiro's personal archive. Limited first run of 750 copies.
