Hi folks

Really exciting news Cureheads!! …yep hoping for this for a while now.

We are having a listening party for the new THE CURE album “ songs of a lost world”….ill confirm all the details next week but the listening party is going to be on release day 1st November….circa 5 or 6 o clock , we will have The Cure goodies to raffle off on the day ( will update next week!) we will play the album in full obviously … .So delighted we are doing this…buzzing for the album, really like the two singles so far…can’t wait to hear it all.

As I said, I will have all the details next week.

Here are releases for this Friday the 25th Oct ( the weeks are whizzing by)…

I must have the BLACK Friday orders back to the record companies by noon on Friday so get wishlists back to me folks if interested in anything….we have the full list here

BLACK FRIDAY RSD UK 2024 List (Alphabetical Order)

 and then we have most of them with pricing also…

BLACK FRIDAY Record Company Lists with Prices of Each Title

I was pleased to see the U2 release ( which in fairness is an interesting release ) not too bad ( in today’s terms!) at 37 quid

Here is more about it:

“How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb is a collection of 10 songs taken from the original recording sessions for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2’s 2004 critically acclaimed, eight-time Grammy-winning album. Recently discovered in the band’s archive and now released for the first time as a standalone record, this shadow album features new, previously unreleased songs, including “Luckiest Man In The World,” “Happiness” and “Country Mile,” as well as newly remastered songs, including “Picture Of You (X + W),” all collected together for the first time to mark the 20th anniversary of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Available on black and red marble color vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day.

The Beatles 7” is analog also folks!

Here are the releases for Nov 1st then…



 

Main point of the attack of “ the Ad” this week is for releases on the 8th Nov so here’s whats on offer party people



 



 

A lad started in EMI around the time Music Zone opened and he is leaving the game this week … .it feels like i have been going back and forth with him forever, kind of sad…end of an era feel to it ( the sands of time huh) …changes in the game all the time…he will be sorely missed by all the record shops around the country, he had our backs.

 

Over to you so Shane kid…welcome back by the way…thunder mountain a distant memory id say, but still a memory….hope ye had a ball

Hiya Ray, sound! Hi everyone! Ah twas great. You know yourself as you were there with the family in the last couple years. Sorry I have to report that I didn’t get on Thunder Mountain. It closed due to a technical fault as I was going to queue on the last day. Boo! But I went on Indiana Jones twice. And we went on Phantom Manor together twice. The Halloween vibe was great there.
And we met/got a picture with Mando!
We went to Paris city as well for half a day.
Won’t miss some of the crowds, but it’s sad when you have to leave.

Thanks a mill to Adam as well for covering me last week.

First one for me to mention is the vinyl release of Cork musician LEWIS BARFOOT’s album ‘Home’. Out on November 1st.
It has a bit of a story.
Lewis called into the siopa about 6 months ago while I was on. We listened to the test pressing of ‘Home’ which she was getting done with Dublin Vinyl. She wasn’t fully happy with the sound so left the shop to get it tweaked. And then, of course, Dublin Vinyl had to close.
So there have been a few bumps in the road for Lewis in getting this record released.
It’s a lovely listen. We have it on CD and cassette as well.
Here’s the last track ‘Ancestors’

And here’s a bit about it:
“Lewis Barfoot’s musical journey takes a deeply personal turn with HOME as she explores her Irish heritage and delves into the haunting narratives of her Cork-born female relatives. The album sheds light on a dark past of institutional incarceration, delicately transformed by Lewis into a collection of beautiful songs. Through her evocative lyrics, and the exquisite purity of her voice “HOME” holds the power to heal the wounds of the past and inspire future generations to live fearlessly.

In the creation of HOME, Lewis collaborated with Michael Riordan (Double Bass), Davie Ryan (Drums), Gabriel Buffa (Clarinets), Elisabeth Flett (Violin), Lea Miklódy (Cello)  and Kerry Andrew (backing vocals). Recorded at Wavefield Studios and SoundSound Studios in Cork. Mixed by Giles Barrett (Lightship 95) and mastered by Sam Proctor (Lismore Mastering).”

Another one worth a mention is FLORENCE + The Machine & Jules Buckley Orchestra – Symphony of Lungs: Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
An orchestral version of the album ‘Lungs’.
Here’s a little promo video for that, with Florence being interviewed: https://youtu.be/Pekj9n4zKww?si=MT62zq2QkQXDfpud
It’s not released til next year though, so we can calm down.

Great to hear that the Rory guitar got a decent home and will be put on display in Cork in future.

Here’s everything else that’s coming around the corner:



Think that’s all from me so this week.

Don’t think Young Adam got a video done, but he’ll be back on them this week

Cheers

Thanks Shane!

More details on THE CURE listening party next week as i said folks.

Ray, Shane, Young Adam and Mia

Main week im hawking to ye this week,  is releases for the 25th oct , must order these from record companies in the next few days….so here’s what’s on offer party people



 




Just a quick one to mention, the living legend that is Christy Moore has a new album out on  1ST November called “ a terrible beauty” . Christy  is  now 56 years on from the release of his debut album Paddy On The Road,
Claddagh Records is delighted to announce that Christy Moore has signed to the iconic label to release his new album.

Delighted to see one legend has covered other legends ( well in our shop anyway!) with not one but two A LAZARUS SOUL covers on the album … .dowtcha Christy boy, we love ALS down here in Rebel land.

Heres one of them said covers

Black & Amber

Finally from me. Got sent a beautiful album yesterday on a private link, really beautiful listen … .played it 3 full times in a row, was seriously impressed…so what is it Ray.

Jerry Fish feat MayKay – Dreaming Of Daniel 

A tribute album to the wonderful talent that was Daniel Johnston…songs beautifully covered by Jerry and MayKay .

Since Jan 22nd 2020 Jerry Fish and MayKay have hosted ‘Hi, How Are You Day’ in Dublin, Ireland. A celebration of the life, music and legacy of Daniel Johnston. ‘Dreaming of Daniel’ is a studio album and true labour of love, produced by Jerry Fish and Cian Boylan, recorded in Camden Studios Dublin.

Jerry explains:
“I felt compelled to record and release an album of Daniels work, not alone is his lyrical wit and honesty an inspiration to me and a multitude of artists the world over, we have so much fun performing his songs live. The album ‘Dreaming of Daniel’ captures the joy we experience on stage performing Daniel’s songs, it’s infectious.”

‘Dreaming of Daniel’ features 12 songs ( + one digital bonus track ) written by Daniel Johnston. Released on 15th Nov

Here is an absolute beauty from the record…great words

Jerry Fish – The Story of an Artist (COVER)

Gonna hand ye folks over to Shane as he takes ye down the road as usual ( dont stress it kid, what we get done , we get done, all good…..there is a mountain of stuff there)

Sound, Ray, sound! I know, it can be a bit of a slog can’t it? I like to try and write a bit like you do just to lighten the mood a bit for people. Some might prefer us to shut up though (well, me)!

Looking forward to the Love Buzz on Saturday, going to do my best to pop in for it. The EP that Ray mentioned above is great. Catchy tunes with a trippy, punky edge.

Since Ray was doing ‘heads ups’, the new ALAN SPARHAWK record is excellent. He sings with effects on his voice throughout and it’s a really different sounding album, kraftwerk-esque, and of course, he is trying to keep going after a massive tragedy.
I think we’re getting a couple more copies in soon.

Anyway, first one to mention for down the road is a brand new album by DAMIEN DEMPSEY, ‘Hold Your Joy’. I like Damien. I think Ray does too. He seems to divide opinion a bit, but I think he has great delivery and his lyrics come from the heart. Out October 25th.
The album will be available on cd, black vinyl and limited orange vinyl. Here’s an amhrán from it: https://youtu.be/uVhrn3wYlJM?si=NUjU_OEJ7gt6_tDC

There’s a new LADY GAGA album, ‘Harlequin’, coming next week, in the wake of the new Joker movie.
Here’s a bit about it, sounds very interesting:

“Notably, Harlequin marks Lady Gaga’s first jazz-inspired album since the passing of her longtime collaborator Tony Bennett.  The album represents a step forward in bringing classic standards into the modern era, as if these timeless songs were reimagined through the lens of all the music that followed.  Gaga breathes new life into these beloved tracks, combining her deep love of jazz with a fresh, avant-garde approach, honoring the past while pushing it into uncharted territory.

What makes Harlequin unique is the way it floats effortlessly between all musical styles, pulling from whatever sounds felt right in the room.

A modern take on vintage pop, the album is influenced by the vast American musical lexicon—heavily rooted in blues and early American music.  Songs like “World On A String” might be called jazz today, but when Tony Bennett released it, it was simply pop music. That’s the spirit of Harlequin—a record that defies labeling and taps into the essence of American music.

This is an album made in the purest sense, reminiscent of a time when musicians simply created the records they wanted to make. An album meant to be heard front-to-back, all at once.

From jazz to punk, funk to blues, and everything in between, Harlequin features unique and original arrangements of songs that evoke the vibrant chaos and emotional depth of the character. Classics like “Good Morning” and “Get Happy (2024)” are reimagined with additional lyrics–punctuating Harley’s rebellious spirit, while “Oh, When The Saints” and “World On A String” take on new meaning through quirky, high-energy arrangements that reflect her wild, untamed nature.”

And the great LUCINDA WILLIAMS is releasing an album of Beatles covers: ‘Sings the Beatles from Abbey Road’. Does what it says on the tin. Ag teacht amach ar 6/12/24
Sorry we don’t have it up on the website yet. But if interested just pop us an email.

And here’s a list of other noteworthy bits:


Myself and Noelle are off to Disney Paris next week. Looking forward to it.

Here’s Young Adam’s latest vid:

Dats all I think. Back to you so Ray for the send off.

Thanks Shane….i make 9 newsletters to the Christmas break!!

Countdown is on

Sin e for this week folks

Homework for next week….get into THE LOVE BUZZ and listen to JERRY FISH and TUCKER ZIMMERMANN

Thanks for listening as always

Ray,  Shane, young Adam and Mia
