How’s it going y’all?
I was well off about Metalllica – Garage Inc last week. Oops. Oh well, I’m not an AI.
A few biggies today to mention, including the two that Ray just mentioned.

There’s a brand new album from JOHN GRANT – Art of the Lie coming via Bella Union on June 14th. Mr. Grant is popular enough in the shop. His last one was a bit of a return to form.
Here’s the brand new trailer: https://youtu.be/mCXkfvsktY0?si=cZ_KiwG1K68lruUM
CD, black vinyl and Limited pink vinyl.

The Swifties will be frothing at the mouth over another new product from Taylor. We’ll be getting the CD and clear vinyl of her new one, ‘Tortured Poets Department’. There’s a nice 24 page booklet included, in fairness. That’s out around RSD, I think. Better check…yes, the day before RSD.
And we’ll also be getting the ‘Ghosted’ White vinyl of it.
My wife’s a Swiftie…it’s grand!

There’s a nice QUEEN live release ‘Rock Montreal + Live Aid’ as a 2 CD, Blu Ray, 4K UHD disc or a 3 LP. Phenomenal performances there, of course. At their peak, I suppose.

And the OASIS – Supersonic: 30th Anniversary 7 inch single, as Ray mentioned. It’s going to be on pearl coloured vinyl and will be numbered too. Very limited though, I’m afraid, so be quick with the link if interested.

And here’s what else is bubbling away in the oven:

Here’s a track from them: https://youtu.be/IRVv5l74foM?si=Q6E_gDEy3_B1ZwGA


Two late additions, firstly, young blues guitarist MARCUS KING has a new album, ‘Mood Swings’, produce by Rick Rubin. Out April 5th actually, on CD or LP.
And there’s a nice 2 LP, numbered, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressing of JOHNNY CASH – Live at Folsom Prison

Adam is just getting to upload the video on insta, so here’s the link to our Instagram page, and it should be the first video there soon, if not there already:
