Number Sixty-Nine
The most glamourous, elegant and sophisticatedly wild event of the 21st Century, The Rakehell’s Revels has taken place every Tuesday since 2004. It is renowned --- notorious, even --- for attracting the best in-the-know society, from Hollywood starlets to scrubbed-up students, to “the most beautiful room in London” (Cecil Beaton) for an intensely heady evening of high sparkling swinging wit, dancing, cocktails, pointed conversation and worse. In a glorious celebration of the Golden Age of Swing, Style, and Subtle wickedness.

RAKEHELL’S COMPILATION
Extending our fight against the vulgarity of the modern world—where beauty doesn’t exist, where glamour is drunken reality nobodies, where going out is sweaty, dark, and antisocial—THE RAKEHELL’S REVELS is launching a compilation of the best of music from the club. Everyone can now own a little piece of the clubbing sensation and uniquely beautiful experience that until now, only a select few have been allowed to find…
Featuring classics and rarities, foot-stomping swingers and toe-tapping bops, haunting melodies and jumping brilliance from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, by the likes of Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and Louis Jourdan. It’s a dance record—a romantic record—a funny record—and it has 21 incredible tracks. Any appreciator of music, or anybody swayed by even just the smallest nostalgia, cannot fail to love these superb and exciting songs.
The compilation is available now… look for it!
