There is an ERIC CLAPTON 12 LP boxset coming out via Reprise “ the complete reprise studio albums” which has his first six solo studio albums remastered and an LP of rarities from the 80s also…pity on the price in my opinion…100 quid too dear in my opinion, unless i’m missing something.

The new LAMBCHOP album is out on City Slang on the 30th.
A little grumble at the industry here now…the whole direct to consumer stuff is becoming more prevalent all the time…the industry from where i sit has always had challenges but for your suppliers to be competing with you, cannibalizing the market, taking your customers is in reality very harsh…folks want to support the independent shops but we appreciate fully when the record company does exclusive D2Cs that folks go that way…we get it from a customer’s point of view but from a record companies point of view , tis harsh…we advertise and display and plug record companies wares 360 odd days a year……its a two way street to be fair like all relationships but there’s a sense as we would say in Cork “ that she’s doing the dirt on him” .. when there is a bit of cream to be had, the record companies do a D2C …(a lot of music retail websites also are owned or partly owned by record companies so folks may not even know they are buying direct from the record company) …sher it is what it is at this stage and i dont see it changing…a little grumble is all!

Going to hand over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road with some release and announcements etc..Cheers, Ray!
How’s it going all? Hope the week is going well for ye.
I agree Ray about the D2C stuff, it’s a shame. The Alice in Chains box set is one I might have got if it came into the shop.
A few decent releases once again coming down the yellow brick road worth a mention.
First up is a 30th anniversary picture disc of Madonna’s ‘Erotica’ which is out on October 21st. It was originally banned from general release so will be a nice one to get now.
We have a few die-hard Madonna fans who call to the shop and buy nearly everything she releases.
Some of her stuff is very collectable too and shoots up in value online in the years after they come out. Whether you agree with that or not is another thing, but I guess that’s the nature of collectables and vinyl definitely has a bit of that.
Second up is the new album from WEYES BLOOD ‘And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow’ coming out in November. Her last one was very good so looking forward to hearing this one. Here’s ‘It’s not just me, it’s everybody’ from it: https://youtu.be/4d_OwQxfuMY
We will be getting the indies clear vinyl version of it but quantities are limited so fastest finger first if interested.
Another talented songwriter is ROZI PLAIN and she has a new album coming called ‘Prize’ but it’s not out until January, so a while to save up.
Those are the three main ones but also coming soon: a JIMI HENDRIX Live album on CD and vinyl, more formats of the KISS ‘Creatures of the Night’ anniversary reissue, a DOLLY PARTON Best Of a new album by WARHAUS and a half speed remaster/reissue of THE YARDBIRDS ‘Yardbirds’ featuring their original lineup.
Here’s the link to THE BEATLES – Revolver formats on our site, think I might have missed it last week.
Oh and Adam and Ray are back with d’video: https://youtu.be/SoGiysD9gVU
Back to you Ray so!
Thanks Shane!
