Hi everyone,
Hope all is well enough…
Last day of June, half the year done already!! Firstly I would like to really thank those of ye who came out for the SAINT SISTER out-store last Saturday… I thought there was a lovely vibe around the place.. The band were sound as a bell and enjoyed it.. So thanks again to those of ye came out and kept egg off our faces.. No-one shows then they cease to exist and we don’t want that..
So moving on from one class original Irish act to another… INHALER.. I’m getting slightly obsessed with quite a few of their tunes.. Constant repeats the last week.. 7 and a half days ago I didn’t know what they sounded like.. Constant now… I can’t wait for the record.. We have a nice one as regards it folks.. There is an indies only green vinyl for the Irish Market only (sure to be sought after down the road), and we will have quite a few of these signed by the band (say no more!!).. Pre-order the green vinyl version with us and be in with a chance of a signed copy.. My guess 2 in ever 3 people will get a signed copy.. The INHALER album also available on Standard Black Vinyl and the CD now is going for €10… I can’t wait to hear it in full.. 9 Days count down on..
Here are the new releases for this Friday July 2nd including releases from THE GO! TEAM, BOBBY GILLESPIE & JEHNNY BETH, LAURA MVULA, MR JUKES & BARNEY ARTIST, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, AT THE GATES, EMMA-JEAN THACKRAY and the soundtrack to ‘Annette’ by SPARKS.. There are reissues from BIG COUNTRY, and CHRISTINE PERFECT.. On the CD front there are releases from TOM PETTY, and a reissue of QUEEN’s ‘Greatest Hits’ on CD or Cassette…
And moving onto releases for the 9th of July.. As mentioned INHALER’s debut album is out, and there are other new releases from TOM ODELL, THE WALLFLOWERS, LUCINDA WILLIAMS and a ALDOUS HARDING new 7′‘.. There are reissues from MUSE, NEWDAD, THE MONKEES, THE ALMOST FAMOUST OST, ALAN PARSONS, JETHRO TULL, YELLO, MILEY CYRUS, DEATH, GROUPLOVE, MILES DAVIS, TURIN BRAKES, and the few different formats of THE ROLLING STONES’ ‘A Bigger Bang : Live On Copacabana Beach’...

Bad price in my opinion.. Hard to sell a standard DLP reissue at that money to be honest unless someone proves me wrong!! GRATEFUL DEAD have a reissue of live album known as (Skull and Roses) also out on the 16th.. Rhino also have a deluxe 3LP reissue of Alt / Country OLD 97’s ‘Fight Songs’ and Nuclear Blast have a live audio and visual recorded in a disused mill near PARADISE LOST’s home in Yorkshire UK..

MY BLOOD VALENTINE.. Yes, my bloody valentine.. We have secured 12 more copies across the 6 vinyl variants reissued about 2 months ago.. Sorry it’s only 12 (fought hard for them).. They are on the site now so it’s first to buy them off the site will get them (only 1 of each allowed).. The email won’t be manned again after 6PM until after the kids are in bed so best / safest way to secure these is via the website.. Fairest way also I feel..

Going to hand ye over now to the Bob-man there and he will run through announcements and further down the road releases..
Hey folks,
Hope you are all keeping safe and well, and enjoying the sunshine.
Not a huge amount today but a few very nice ones nonetheless.
We’ll kick off with a few more games of fastest fingers first, with a few bits we have been given allocations on.
Starting off, we now have up the brand new album from Dessner / Vernon (National / Bon Iver) supergroup BIG RED MACHINE, the band’s second outing, due out August 27th. ‘How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last?’ it’s called, and it’s coming on CD, Cassette, Standard Black Vinyl and Indies Only Vinyl. BOTH the vinyl pressings are allocated numbers, not just the indies on this one, but we have a few now up for pre-order. Safest is to buy from the site, as Ray mentioned earlier there will be no one on emails for a few hours after this is sent out, and an email could be missed.
The second and last of this week of the fastest fingers first is the brand new studio album by the excellent LOW… ‘HEY WHAT’ is the title of the new album due out September 10th, and it is just the indies vinyl of this which we were allocated a number on.. Also available on CD, Cassette, and Standard Vinyl..
Other nice bits announced in the last week or so include the next in the JONI MITCHELL Archives Series via Warner. Due in October, we will have the new 5CD ‘Archives Vol 2 : The Reprise Years 1968-1971’, which spans the era around the release of ‘Blue’ and just before, to mark the album’s 50th Anniversary this year.. There will also be a ‘Live From Carnegie Hall 1969’ 3LP vinyl release to coincide with the release of the CD Set. Lovely stuff!
There is a remix album coming of ‘Mordechai’ by KHRUANGBIN on vinyl due in October which is now up on the site. This was my album of the year last year so looking forward to hearing the remixes. If you haven’t heard these guys well worth checking out, class stuff altogether. We will also have a limited run of the excellent 4th, self titled album from THE CHARLATANS, which is repressed on vinyl now for the first time in 20 years. It’ll be out in October and is pressed on Marbled Yellow Vinyl. (Again allocated on this so when it’s gone it’s gone i’m afraid). The ‘ARETHA’ compilation from ARETHA FRANKLIN which was due in to us originally last year has also now been confirmed for release on CD, Vinyl or Limited 4CD Set for July 30th..
Lastly from mise for this week, and one we can’t wait for in the siopa. MICK FLANNERY & SUSAN O’NEILL are set to release their debut collaboration album ‘In The Game’ in September of this year. ‘Baby Talk’ the single from last year has been a firm favourite of the shop, a great tune, so looking forward to hearing the 13-track full album a lot! It’ll be with us on Vinyl or CD. Check out the latest single ‘Chain Reaction’ here :
