Check out the new releases


The Bangles / Doll Revolution (2LP purple vinyl)
The Bangles‘ album from 2003 is reissued by Real Gone Music for a UK-exclusive 2LP set pressed in translucent purple vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve.

Jean-Michel Jarre / Amazonia (new album)
Jean-Michel Jarre has created 52 minutes of new music to accompany the photos of the Amazonian Forest taken by Sebastiao Salgado about. An exhibition has commissioned for the Philharmonic Paris, which was due to start this week.

Worth to mention that the CD & VINYL from J. M. Jarre – Amazonia come with an access code to download the Binaural Sound and 5.1. Sound.
Trying to figure out if you the download comes just buying the CD or if you have to buy the ANALOGUE vinyl+CD from his site to get the DIGITAL Binaural and 5.1 sound.
Amazon UK says “JMJ will deliver a Binaural Surround Sound Version on top of standard audio.” It wouldn’t be a very environmentally friendly approach to make people buy things they don’t want or need in order to get something they do.
JMJ required the purchase of analogue media (a cassette if I recall) with the Equinoxe Infinity Box release to get some digital 5.1 of other tracks.
The above comment re purple vinyl versions being limited in the UK to 300 copies doesn’t sound plausible as it is readily available via Amazon, Rough Trade etc. Pink swirl (RSD 2020, 1500 copies) and white versions (possibly actually translucent instead) are also still available via the usual internet suppliers.
The UK exclusive Bangles’ purple-vinyl ‘Doll Revolution’ is limited to 300 copies according to Real Gone Music.
You guys probably get asked this constantly. Wish by The Cure on vinyl this year?
Hi Paul,
I think you’ve got a typo there. Cheap Trick’s “12th” studio album seemed intrinsically low and after a rough count I make it number 19!
Great to have a new LP from such a fine band but that artwork could have been knocked up by one of my Year 7s for the cover of a dodgy cut and past geography homework project. Not as bad as The Doctor though! Best CT cover is surely “In Color” of which the still to be released Steve Albini remix is great.
Good point! Wiki says 20th…? Anyone?
Actually my comment was misleading. The band actually re-recorded the In Color songs with Albini at the helm. Not a remix.
Much edgier than Werman’s original production which was still a great effort anyway. First four studio records are really all time classics with Budokan in between!
Sorry for any confusion
Ah was hoping for an expanded Bangles – Doll Revolution. My fave album of theirs and on the UK tour that supported it they were on fire
Also out the reissued Underfall Yard by Big Big Train, with a second disc of added material.
