UK’s Record Store Day 2024 Still Surprises

There had been so many issues of curiosity within the US lest that I questioned, if the US was getting the likes of OMD and Ultravox, what, if any, could be UK-only gadgets of curiosity? I needn’t have anxious, as a result of the UK will probably be getting greater than its share of fascinating items, even when they’re all [rolls eyes] on vinyl records.

Sure, certain. I’ve the CD5 of this from 1987, however the brand new 12″ will characteristic yet one more monitor. The unique Johnson Somerset remix in his lush, widescreen model. When is he going to have a field of his remixes compiled for our towntempo vibe extravaganzas?

THE CRAMPS

Ultra Twist pink + purple vinyl 12″

Here’s a humiliation for America. Our rebels solely get respect abroad! The Cramps “Ultra Twist” which I’ve on CD5 and promo CD5 with unique edits, it getting the love on 12″ once more. As it has nothing I don’t have already got, I don’t want it…however I respect it!

LORA LOGIC

Pedigree Charm DLX RM fluorescent pink + inexperienced 2xLP

The spunky first Lora Logic solo album was a winner. Now it’s bought non-LP B-sides and a 12″ mixture of “Wonderful Offer” added in addition to all new, unreleased Peel Sessions to spherical it out. How I want this was on the silver disc.

MIDGE URE

The Gift [Early Versions] Eco-Jazz Recycled LP

The demos of the primary Midge Ure solo album had been already on the silver disc for the DLX RM on CD issued final yr. And it’s on the doubtful “Eco-Jazz” recycled vinyl. But the satan is within the particulars; there’s one monitor added to this LP that’s beforehand unreleased…gotcha!

This one hurts! I’ve already missed different Propaganda RSD reissues, and this one appears to be the primary quantity of the long-mooted in my cranium [taps cranium] comp of each “Dr. Mabuse” combine identified to mankind. I’ve been planning “Dr. Mabuse: The Motion Picture” as at the very least a 2xCD-R of my very own for years. This appears like the primary of an installment plan, LP-only model. But it’s Propaganda! And I nonetheless need it!

Of course, this yr the shiny goodies of RSD UK gained’t essentially taunt me from 3000 miles away with their exorbitant third social gathering costs [over already exorbitant initial prices] and stratospheric postage prices! I’ll really be within the UK for RSD this yr! So there’s an opportunity that I would be capable of transfer on at the very least a couple of of those. Watch this area…
