Posted on by musiczoneadmin

Hi folks

Hope all is well out there.

Delighted to share the wonderful JOHN BLEK instore with ye folks….Tim got d’video back to us in the last week and here it is….its lovely, hope ye enjoy, “ cheer up” ( the album the launch was for) is really growing on me…lovely record again.

John Blek Live In-Store 6-9-24

 

Exciting day last Thursday … .THE CURE finally gave us all a release date….brilliant stuff!

16 long years …here is the new single

The Cure – Alone (Official Lyric Video)

Stock a little tight ( for now) on the marble vinyl….so mail us back if interested, will do our best. 

Plenty blk and deluxe cd set and cds available…Marble tight though.

Hats off to Mr Smith for me….i get a sense he’s a normal kind of dude ( as far as Rock gods go)….he gives me the impression his feet are firmly on the ground, fish and chips, pints of bitter type of lad… his merch always reasonable , tee shirts half the price of some other big acts….didn’t he try and put manners on those dirty f***ers ticketmaster as well.

I like him.

The record and cds are really well priced for what will be one the biggest releases of the year…..31 quid for the vinyl….23 for the 2cd/bluray….for a premium top of the tree release that’s very good ( i think anyway) and i also think Robert Smith’s fingerprints are over it…really excited for this release folks.

 

Releases in the siopa for this Friday the 4th of OCT include

 

And then releases for the 11th Oct ….

And the great Kris Kristofferson has left the building, Kris supporting Sinead at that Dylan anniversary gig in Madison square garden left a mark on me…serious moral compass going on there….at risk of been murdered in my bed, Dylan wasn’t seen for dust or dollars that moment…one could say they were Bob’s people ( the crowd that night) and  a few words from him  would have been nice, ok tricky for him i get it, but stand up man, stand up ( why are ye booing this young woman, cut her a bit of slack (for gods sake!)!) not sight nor sound….that’s a  bit  too much of a hot potato for my liking….not Kris though….solid …” don’t let the bastards get you down Sinead” ( there’s a song in that)

Nick Cave name checks him on the latest record “ Kris Kristofferson walks by, king of the kings. In a shirt he hasn’t washed for years”

Who am i to argue with Nick…

Good night big man

Kris Kristofferson – Sunday morning coming down (1970)

and: https://www.nationalalbumday.co.uk/news/national-album-day-announces-lineup-of-exclusive-releases-reissues-from-british-groups-to-coincide-with-annual-event-on-saturday-19th-october/)

Going to hand ye over to Shane now ( U2 announcement as well this past week) as he takes ye down the road as normal…

Sound, Ray, thanks. How’s it going everyone?
Exciting about The Cure release alright! I’m not a huge fan but I would definitely throw on an album by them the odd day in the shop etc. And they’re one of the legends of music, no doubt.
I agree about the price, Ray, it’s nice to see. Annoying that more of the bigger artists can’t do it too.
Taylor Swift comes to mind. (Hope I don’t get shot on the way to or from work tomorrow!)

And another legend in KRIS KRISTOFFERSON gone. RIP.
Noelle and myself are getting into Halloween mode now, and we put on Blade last night. Kris is great in it.
Forgot how similar the Matrix was to it. (Blade came out first)

As Ray mentioned, yep, a nice U2 release announced around the same time as The Cure before last weekend. ‘How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb‘ is getting the 20th Anniversary treatment. There will be CD, 2 LP, a CD Box Set or an 8 LP Box Set.
Pricing is a bit on the annoying side with this. But I’m told that the box sets are a good shape to fit into Santa’s sleigh!

Another great release coming soonish is the 50th Anniversary clear vinyl reissue of NEIL YOUNG – On the Beach. Brilliant album. Decent price on that actually. November 8th for that.

And another 50th anniversary release, GEORGE HARRISON – Living in the Material World.
There will be CD, standard Vinyl, 2 CD, 2 LP or a Super Deluxe Box Set of that available.
Out on November 15th.

And here are the rest of the upcoming releases we were sent this week:

Here’s the aul Instagram page for ye before I go: https://www.instagram.com/musiczone.ie/?hl=en

Thanks Shane!

Sin e really for this week folks ( i think i covered everything!!)

Thanks for listening as always

Ray, Shane, young Adam and Mia
