Animals 2018 Remix will be released on CD, LP (with gatefold artwork), Blu-ray, Digital and Deluxe Gatefold formats.

Wedding Present – Hit Parade – 2LP
release date: 23rd September 2022
In 1992, The Wedding Present decided to release a limited edition single every month, each featuring an original track on the A side and a cover on the B side. The tracks were compiled as two LPs called ‘Hit Parade 1’ and ‘Hit Parade 2’ and re-released as a double CD in 2003 called ‘The Hit Parade’. The plan to release 12 singles in a year was an attempt to match Elvis Presley’s record of 12 top 40 singles in a year which he had achieved in 1957. The singles, each in an edition of 10,000, were deleted soon after release. They were critically acclaimed and each charted in the top 40. This 2022 edition replaces the original sleeve with new artwork combining the individual single artworks.
Aqua – Aquarium: 25th Anniversary Pink Vinyl
release date: 23rd September 2022
2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Aqua’s first album ‘Aquarium’ and iconic global hit ‘Barbie Girl’. Released as a part of their ground-breaking debut album ‘Aquarium’ in 1997, the hit made everyone sing along to the lines ‘I’m a Barbie Girl, in the Barbie World’, while it also catapulted Aqua into the public consciousness. Not only did the group gain attention for their iconic music, but their cartoonish universe with blue hair, spikes, and wild outfits also made them a true symbol of the late ’90s. Having sold 33 million albums and gained worldwide attention, Aqua stands as a one-of-a-kind moment in Danish music history worth celebrating.
