Green Day – Dookie – Limited Edition Baby Blue Vinyl

 

release date: 29th september 2023

 

Green Day’s third studio album Dookie was released in February 1994, and has since sold over 15 million copies worldwide, including 10 million in the US (RIAA Diamond certified). The album is an iconic punk-rock-pop masterpiece and one of the most influential and defining albums of the 1990’s. It spawned five hit singles that are still hugely popular songs: “Longview”, “Basket Case”, “Welcome to Paradise”, “When I Come Around”, and “She”. This LP features the original album pressed on baby blue vinyl.

Beastie Boys – Hello Nasty – 25th Anniversary Edition 4LP

 

release date: 8th september 2023

 

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Beastie Boys’ 3x Platinum album ‘Hello Nasty’. This is a limited edition reissue of the rare deluxe 4LP version of the album that was released as an artist store exclusive in 2009. Long out-of-print and sought after by fans/collectors, it features two extra LPs (w/ 21 tracks) of bonus content, including remixes, live versions and B-sides (all of which are available at DSPs). The 4 LPs will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a quad jacket inside a rigid slipcase. A sew-on patch is also included.

The Who – Who’s Next – 50th Anniversary + San Francisco Live 1971 4LP

 

release date: 15th september 2023

 

Fifth studio album by the English rock band, originally released in 1971. The album was developed from the aborted ‘Lifehouse’ project, a multi-media rock opera written by the group’s guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend as a follow-up to the band’s 1969 album ‘Tommy’. The album includes the classic Who singles ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, ‘Baba O’Riley’ and ‘Behind Blue Eyes’, and is widely regarded as the band’s best record.

Haim – Days are Gone – 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 2LP

 

release date: 29th september 2023

 

A 10th anniversary reissue of HAIM’s chart-topping debut album ‘Days Are Gone’, in celebration of the 10th anniversary. Featuring the six singles, ‘Forever’, ‘Don’t Save Me’, ‘Falling’, ‘The Wire’, ‘If I Could Change Your Mind’ and ‘My Song 5’, the record hasn’t been reissued since its release in 2013. Housed in an entirely new package, the album features a track list compiled by the band of their favourite demos and remixes, plus features an exclusive fold out poster.

Neil Young – Harvest Moon – Limited Edition Clear Vinyl

 

release date: 22nd september 2023

 

When Neil Young’s HARVEST MOON album was released on November 2, 1992, it was the 19th studio album by Young. It had been almost 25 years since his debut self-titled release on Reprise Records in 1968, and the impact the artist had on modern music positioned him among a rarefied group of artists and esteemed songwriters. Now being released on September 22, 2023 as a 3-sided, double album pressed on clear coloured vinyl, it takes its place among so many of Young’s historic collections as a unique rock & roll set that defines the history of the musical genre. 

Tom Waits– Rain Dogs 

 

release date: 22nd september 2023

 

Noted as Tom Waits’ most critically acclaimed album, ‘Rain Dogs’ follows the new musical path Waits had taken with ‘Swordfishtrombones’. Considered the middle of a de facto trilogy with ‘Swordfishtrombones’ and ‘Franks Wild Years’, ‘Rain Dogs’ is the first of Waits’ albums to be written in New York, in a Lower Manhattan basement. A 53-minute, 19-track monster album is a kind of mutant, late 20th century musical ‘Canterbury Tales’ with a shape-shifting band. There are banjos and marimbas and bowed saw and parade drum and howling horns (and Keith Richards and Marc Ribot) on this rollicking, rough-hewn opus – and Waits, using his voice in increasingly weird-and-wild ways. 

Steely Dan – Aja 

 

release date: 29th september 2023

 

Sixth studio album by the jazz rock band. Led by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan released seven albums from 1972-1980. Originally released in 1977, it became the group’s best-selling album, and was placed on Rolling Stone magazine’s ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’ list. This 1977’s platinum-selling jazz-rock masterwork, includes the three hit singles – ‘Deacon Blues,’ Peg’ and ‘Josie’ – and the elegant title cut.

Grateful Dead – Wake of the Flood – 50th Anniversary Edition

 

release date: 29th september 2023

 

With the recent passing of founding member Ron ‘Pigpen’ McKernan and temporary exit of drummer, Mickey Hart, this 1973 release introduces a fresh lineup that includes newest members Keith and Donna Godchaux on keys and vocals. Features ‘Eyes of the World’, ‘Stella Blue’, and ‘Mississippi Half-Step’. 50th anniversary remaster by David Glasser, with Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction. Produced for Release by David Lemieux.

Huey Lewis & the News – Sports – 40th Anniversary Edition

 

release date: 15th september 2023

 

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Huey Lewis and The News’ third album, ‘Sports’. Originally released on September 15, 1983, the album had four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and ranked at #2 on the Billboard year-end album charts in 1984. A staggering achievement, it boasted an impressive quartet of top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, a testament to the band’s exceptional musical prowess. The tracks ‘The Heart of Rock & Roll,’ ‘If This Is It,’ ‘Heart and Soul,’ and ‘I Want a New Drug’ became anthems for a generation, etching themselves into the annals of music history.

Friendly Fires – Friendly Fires – 15th Anniversary Edition Silver Vinyl

 

release date: 8th september 2023

 

‘Friendly Fires’ was the debut album from the St Albans-three piece, Ed McFarlane, Edd Gibson and Jack Savidge. Featuring hit singles ‘Jump In the Pool’ and ‘Paris’, it was an era-defining record.
