We had a lovely break last week … .albeit a bit too hot to be honest, it was mid 30s most days….5 or 10 degrees above my comfort zone…but lovely family time and tune out…thanks to the lads here for looking after ye and the place…i think i wrote one four word email and forwarded 2 others and that was the sum total of my efforts…bliss that is!!

The lads did a great job here so it looks like ill take a month next year … .thanks lads!!

A friend of mine has a saying “ not too many people on their death beds say christ i wished i worked harder”….dont worry lads i wont take a month…3 weeks is all.

The main week for this week is releases for the 25th of July…shall be ordering these in the next few days if interested in anything.

A really lovely instore coming up folks on Saturday the 26th of July at 4 PM with SODA BLONDE launching their new EP “ people pleaser” with us. Lovely red pressing, really limited once only press . … .the band will play songs from the EP with us and sign copies after as well as having the chats…really super talented band…delighted they are coming in to us…we are already at 60 per cent cap so let us know know if you want in…and you want one of those gorgeous vinyl also, im not messing, they are not many of them at all…but we will have 60 copies.

The lads flagged this instore last week ( so if your name is down already dont fret your in)

Ray O Brien

Only half messing the real winner is…Paudie O’ Neill

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road…big news for the Bowie heads today

Thanks, Ray, welcome back!  Glad you had a nice break.
I think the MZ regulars would stage a sit-down protest in the car park if you took 3 weeks off in a row!
Still wouldn’t be as bad as the wrath of the Bowie heads, but at least they should be satisfied this week…
Hi all, hope ye’re well.
Yes, a big one to mention today, the last in the series of DAVID BOWIE Box Sets ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002-2016) has been announced and will be released on September 12th. It’s been a good few years since the last one was out, and by all accounts they are collector’s items now.
There will be a 13 CD set and an 18 LP Vinyl Set. Was just listening to the Next Day earlier today, great album.
Here’s more info about the vinyl set:
“David Bowie 6. I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002 – 2016) is the sixth in a series of box sets spanning
Bowie’s career from 1969. The eighteen-piece vinyl box set is named after the closing track on ★
(BLACKSTAR), Bowie’s final studio album. The box sets include newly remastered versions (except ★
and No Plan), with input from David’s co-producer Tony Visconti.
Exclusive to each of the box sets are Montreux Jazz Festival and Re:Call 6. The former was recorded on the 18 th of July 2002 at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival and among the 31 tracks features a full performance bar one song of one of Bowie’s most revered albums, Low.
Re:Call 6 features 41 non-album / alternative versions / b-sides and soundtrack songs, including tracks
never previously available on vinyl.
An accompanying 84 page book features previously unseen notes, drawings and handwritten lyrics from Bowie and photos by Sukita (who took the set’s cover shot), Jimmy King, Frank W. Ockenfels 3, Markus Klinko, Mark ‘Blammo’ Adams and more as well as memorabilia, technical notes about the albums from co-producer Tony Visconti and design notes from Jonathan Barnbrook.”

Sounds good. We love Blackstar as well in the shop. Remember playing it loads after he died.
Anyway, an exciting one.

I better just list the rest of the down the road releases as there would be uproar:

A bleddy rake of stuff today.
Enjoy the Sun guys.
Thanks, Ray, back to you.

Thanks a mil Shane

Sin e for this week really folks

Thanks for listening as always

Ray, Shane, Adam Og and Mia
