October’s Vinyl Reissues
Fopp's Picks
with vinyl reissues from The Beatles, David Bowie and more, October is shaping up to be a great month for record collectors. Here’s our picks for October.

release date: 29th October 2022
This Special Edition of The Beatles’ ‘Revolver’ features a new mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, the original mono mix, a 4-track EP, 31 session takes and home demos, a 100-page book with a foreword by Paul McCartney, an essay by Questlove, detailed track notes, photos and ephemera including handwritten lyrics, tape boxes and extracts from Klaus Voormann’s graphic novel on the making of the cover art.
release date: 14th October 2022
To celebrate its 45th anniversary, Parlophone is proud to announce a special limited edition ‘bricks & mortar’ outlet-only grey vinyl pressing of the album. ‘Heroes’ was a commercial success, peaking at #3 in the U.K. and #35 in the U.S., with NME and Melody Maker both naming it album of the year. The title track is now widely recognised as a classic and as one of Bowie’s most beloved songs, having been used in the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony and critically acclaimed films such as Moulin Rouge and Jojo Rabbit. It has also become one of Bowie’s most covered songs with interpretations by artists such as Prince, Coldplay, Motörhead, Depeche Mode, Lady Gaga, King Crimson and The Wallflowers. After releasing the ground-breaking Low in January 1977, Bowie toured and recorded playing keyboards in Iggy Pop’s band. He returned that summer to the Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin to begin work on a new album. Unlike the rest of the so-called ‘Berlin Trilogy’, “Heroes” was the only Bowie album recorded there in its entirety. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, the central band from the Low album returned, this time joined by King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.
Kevin Rowland & Dexys Midnight Runners – Too-Rye-Ay, As It Should Have Sounded
release date: 14th October 2022
To tie in with the 40th anniversary of the multi-platinum selling album, we present ‘Too-Rye-Ay, as it should have sounded’. Kevin Rowland was never happy with the final mix of the album, despite its huge commercial success. So with Helen O’Hara, and Pete Schwier they decided to mix it again. In recent interviews Kevin has stated: ‘The songs and performances are great, but I always felt the mixes could be better. It’s my most successful album, but it doesn’t sound as good as the others… This is the director’s cut and it’s how it should have sounded’. The album’s cover has also been re-modelled, using the preferred image from the ‘Come On Eileen’ single sleeve.
Red 35 Year Anniversary Edition – The Communards
release date: 7th October 2022
The Communards’ sophomore album ‘Red’ consolidated the genius of the musical partnership between Bronski Beat singer Jimmy Somerville and pianist Richard Coles. The Communards straddled pop and the political, fusing synths and hi-NRG production with lush string and horn arrangements to the political unrest and moral panic of late 80s Britain. This version is the classic repressing of the original album on black vinyl with new liner notes from Owen Jones.
Olivia Newton-John’s Greatest Hits 45th Anniversary Deluxe Edition – Olivia Newton-John
release date: 7th October 2022

The album was certified double platinum in the US, platinum in both the UK and Canada, and has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
Kenny Burrell – Kenny Burrell
release date: 7th October 2022
