Firstly, a few movers and shakers re RSD…the Hendrix release is pulled completely off the lists and there is a FOO FIGHTERS 7” added to the list @ 17 quid…for 23rd April
We have today the Universal Record Store Day list with pricing so we need universal wishlists back by next weds the 16th March please….or over the weekend on any of the others please would be great.
It looks as if it will be a “ normal” Record Store Day this year, so will be open at 8 am as usual and can flood the shop ( no pun intended),can’t go online with RSD until the following Friday i believe, but there’s always the phone! I must get my finger out and organize a bit of live music for the day so I will come back to ye folks on that over the coming weeks…

Gonna head over to Shane now with a few interesting further down the road releases …TOOL fans at the ready…on this release actually i must say a few words…its wicked expensive to start with…but even aside from that, qty pressed is tiny and even at the price we may have done double the number we were allocated ( 5 copies and 3 spoken for already) , tis frustrating to be honest, sometimes allocations are 1 or 2 units…we are even been allocated on catalog stock now from some record companies…it is what it is, a blessing and a curse.
Sorry over to you Shane kid..
Sound Ray, yeah I agree, this is mad expensive but unfortunately Tool fans like myself have to go for it.
I read during the week that there were signed versions of this released through their website and fans were giving out as it was over 800 dollars, so they released these more affordable (!) non-signed ones.
In fairness, they do always do very cool artwork and packaging but still.
I’m going to see them in Dublin in May, the first time they’ve been in Ireland since 2006!
We have very limited quantities as Ray said of this vinyl box set of their last album ‘Fear Inoculum‘ which is class.
Fastest finger first on this so if interested don’t wait:

Second up is another favourite of mine (and Bobby’s) King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have yet another new album coming on the 15th of April. It’s called ‘Made in Timeland’. Seriously impressive band, they often release 2 or 3 albums a year. A few years back they did a thrash metal one, then built their own guitars with unique tunings for another 3 albums and recently they did an electronicy one!
Here’s the ‘Dripping Tap’
A bit further down the line, is a new Live album on coloured vinyl by Irish legends MOVING HEARTS. It was recorded in Vicar St. in 2007. It’s limited to 750 copies worldwide and will be out at the end of May.
Also coming soon are new albums by KURT VILE and KEVIN MORBY.
Oh, forgot to link the Tin Machine 2 release last week, so there you go.
Think that’s about it from me. Back to you Ray!
Thanks Shane!
