Latest
may releases and re-issues
FILED UNDER:Wednesday May 2, 2012
On 7 May, XL are re-issuing THE WHITE STRIPES – Under Blackpool Lights, their long-out-of-print original DVD recorded on 27/28 January 2004 and directed by Dick Carruthers. To quote Wikipedia, it’s “widely regarded as among the greatest live performances by any rock band”. This edition has been re-packaged in an Amaray case (that’s what the standard plastic DVD cases are called) in a choice of red or white. Welcome back…
It’s a double whammy on 28 May with the release of (1) COLOURBOX – box set which needs little further introduction on these pages. Finished stock arrived today and it’s looking good, all four discs of the beauty. Stock is limited so I think it will sell-out fast, especially at the Amazon pre-order price of £15.99 – so order it now!
and treat no. (2) is THE CHARLATANS – Tellin’ Stories . This comes in two limited formats (same tracks) – on double CD or vinyl, with the main album re-mastered from the studio tapes at Abbey Road, giving it a wider stereo field with less of the 1997 compression. Again, the CD is good value at £9.99 on Amazon.
and don’t forget (if you’re close to London) the Independent Label Market at Spitalfields, E1 on Saturday 19 May.
Finally thanks to Stuart (comment on the post below) whose realised that the 4AD sore is selling the MASS CD in the USA. This is an exclusive as the stock was found in our UK warehouse and is limited. For more information – click here

update time again
FILED UNDER:Monday April 16, 2012
Let’s celebrate the re-issue of THE AVALANCHES Since I Left You on a double vinyl edition. Still as fresh and playful a decade on, though with the fine quality of today’s vinyl pressings there should be no additional clicks, pops or crunches on the recording.
Next Saturday (21st) is, of course, Record Store Day and we have a limited pressing, on orange vinyl, of the in demand album mclusky do dallas. Because it’s only currently available in stores and not online, it will probably be the first Archive release in ages that we won’t have supply problems with but still worth getting asap if you’re interested.
Some release date changes and announcements – the COLOURBOX box has moved back a week to 28 May to give the Chinese slowboat a bit of leeway. The next BIFFY CLYRO – The Vertigo Of Bliss vinyl release will be on 11 June.
Finally some other projects we’re working on. There’s a European release of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY – Junkyard on vinyl (including a bonus 7” of Release The Bats and Blast Off. XL will also be reviving some of their vinyl classic (especially in the USA from their webstore) and the inspiring SCOTT WALKER The Drift vinyl will be revived soon.
