Of everything he recorded, we know this LP to be Ned’s favourite. An intoxicating brew of acoustical jazz-rock, folk and country-rock – delivered in Ned’s supremely laid back West Coast style – it features gorgeous melodic lines throughout, complimented by his distinctly funky overtones and tightly-coordinated instrumental textures. Original vinyl copies of this album are extremely rare – and correspondingly expensive – so we’re thrilled to present the first ever vinyl reissue of a true lost classic.

You'd think that following “Melodies Of Love” would be an impossible task. Not so, if you happen to be genius Brit-Funk pioneers John Rocca and Andy Stennett. Cruising on a funk-fuelled journey from the swaggering title track, via the blue-eyed soul of "Trust Me", to the stabbing staccato synth heat of "More And More" and back again ("India" dub) this EP has ESSENTIAL seared onto its substantial grooves.

imeless drum-machine soul music from genius Brit-Funk pioneer John Rocca. “Melodies Of Love” was first released in 1985 yet, still sounding staggeringly fresh,

A singular presence in 21st Century pop, Róisín Murphy is a genuine maverick (Irish singer and songwriter). Overpowered is the second solo studio album and was considered an instant classic and, sounding deeply prescient, it has aged gloriously. Back available on double vinyl thanks to Be With Records! Inc. Overpowered, You Know Me Better & a bonus track which was only available on Cd!

2020 marks 10 years since Ocean Trippin’, the first Seahawks release, and Island Visions is the perfect distillation of the sounds, sights, textures and moods that Jon Tye and Pete Fowler have been exploring over the last decade. Sunrise to sunset condensed to two sides of an LP. The normal rules of space and time don’t apply here.

The word masterpiece gets bandied about a lot. Not least by us. But here is a release that truly befits such a lofty title.In 1980, Randy Muller’s Skyy dropped the monumental “Here’s To You”, comfortably one of the greatest dance singles of all time.

It’s rare that a certain sound is entirely an artist’s own. Although undeniably a stew of impeccable influences – from blues to folk to Latin to dusty funk, soul and hip-hop – one cannot hear a Tommy Guerrero song without immediately recognizing it as his – and his only. The cult skater from San Francisco is globally renowned as one of the original members of the legendary “Bones Brigade” team. And as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, his laid-back soul is beloved by all who’ve basked in its blissful glow.

Tommy combines funk, Americana, lo-fi fuzz and latin rhythms with a classic laid-back San Francisco vibe. Soul Food Taqueria & Little Bit Of Somethin over 22K scanned Art by renowned visual artist Barry McGee aka TWIST.

The first Be With foray into the archives of revered German library institution Selected Sound is one of our favourites on the label - the super in-demand Japan from Victor Cavini, originally released in 1983. Rare and sought-after for many years now, this is one of those cult library LPs that never turn up. With Daibutsu the giant Buddha of Kamakura’s presence gracing the hefty front cover, this is a record bursting with dope samples for adventurous producers: it’s koto-funk madness!
