Happy New Year!
Wow, we ended 2023 on a high and we can't thank you enough. We've squeezed in a little down time and one too many turkey butties, but we're back and thrilled to share our latest updates and news with you.
Listen to this... we hope to bring you at least one newsletter a month, new year, new us and all that jazz. Let's see if 2024 is the year we can stick to our promises - stay tuned!
We know, we know, we're like a broken record, but, we have to warn you so you're not left disappointed:
- Pre-orders sells FAST and can be LIMITED - so don't hang around, Like a Bat out of Hell, they'll be gone before the morning comes ;)
- Release dates do have a tendency to slip from time to time. But if you're lost, you can look and you will find them (hopefully) on the product page on the website and if we've been a little disorganised (or more likely not been told), drop us a message/email/call or come see Ben's pretty face and he can give you the latest news.

As always, we want to hear from YOU! If you have any suggestions for pre-orders that we haven’t listed, then contact us here, or come and see us in person - our door is always open. We've discovered some great titles through your recommendations, so please keep them coming.
We bring to you, the debut album of SPRINTS "Letter to Self". This epic Indies Red vinyl, with signed artwork, embodies their substantial evolution over the past 3 years.
We had the impossible task of deciding the Album of the Year for 2023 (#AOTY23). What an epic year we just had, it was soooo hard to decide, but we got there in the end - after a few heated words!
We didn't want to give anything away with the picture, no sneak peeks around here, but if you want to see what made our top 40 - watch the full video using the link below. Did we nail it?
We love to push our sales up, but we also like to reward our customers where we can. What better reward than a signed Shed Seven Test Pressing. It's only "A Matter of Time" until someone wins this awesome prize.
No purchase necessary as you can email us to enter, but... it's always best to support bands (and us) where possible. So if you'd like to pre order the white or orange vinyl, use the link below.

As always, Luna-tic has been keeping us on our toes, DEMANDING walks, treats and cuddles - one of anything is never enough, she wants plenty. And in that vein, she's decided she's no longer able to choose just one record a month - she wants lots, especially with all the top music she gets exposed to each month. So instead of a monthly record, Luna has decided she's going to do what she does best... pose for the camera.
Here's a few pics from Luna's Life of Riley.
