💣 It has been frankly a bit of an absurd week or so for big pre-order drops. There is far more than we can get through without everyone getting bored so, as always, you'll want a greedy bank holiday spool through everything at the link below, but in brief...

Lots of big-name and favourite-name reissue type stuff announced last week, including releases from Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order, Chris Cornell, Hot Chip, Specials, Thin Lizzy, Scritti Politti, Nancy Sinatra, ACR, Wooden Shjips and more! Special mention for one of our Lee's very favourite bands of the noughties, ¡Forward, Russia!, who finally reissue their incendiary debut 'Give Me A Wall'

A big one for the proper brand new stuff too, with pre-orders up on brand new Gurriers (if you've slept on them to now and like Fontaines, Geese, Wunderhorse - get them checked out), Arab Strap, Getdown Services, Dexys, Daniel Lanois, plus the "lost Slipknot album" 'Look Outside Your Window'. Special shout to the new album pre-order from Sweeping Promises, a band whose previous two albums bought plenty of joy into the shop and so are of course well worth looking at.

All these and more, here as always:

Oh ar?? 👀

😲 What's all this then?? Tomorrow we're announcing a brand new record fair at a brand new venue, taking place this summer on Sunday, 5th July.

We've had this in the works for a while so it's exciting to get it out there. Taking all the buzz of the Stourbridge Record & Music Fair on the road. All the same fun - with a little more sun (hopefully...)

☀️ Tis a very good day to get yourselves among the website pre-orders, with loads of new coming-soons added in recent days.

Among your obvious big-hitters like the new Rolling Stones (available in multiple vinyl and CD formats), we've just this minute had the announcement of the new Yard Act album! We've got an indies exclusive red/black vinyl on that.

In other brand new music, we've pre-orders up for Lambchop, Antony Szmierek, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Vince Staples, DMA's and tons more besides!

It's super heavy on big reissues right now too. We've got pre-orders on the go for Ben Kweller, Cat Power, Bronski Beat, Happy Mondays, Ash, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Air, Dinosaur Jr, Bon Iver, and Metallica, just to cover the tip of the iceberg!

All these and an absolute truckload besides can be greedily spooled through right here 👇

Come visit our small but mighty record emporium, now open for Saturday record shopping in sunny Stourbridge

Here til 5 ✊

23/04/2026

We're selling some of the good stuff this Saturday if you're heading to Supersonic Festival - or even if you're not, the market is free to all. 12 til 5 ✊

16/04/2026

Hold your horses! Just a final reminder on this - we are not doing the official Record Store Day thing this year. This means we won't have any of the specific pressings that are made for the event.

I suspect there will be lots that will still be available from next Tuesday - at which point all shops can have them if they want. So if you do find yourself hankering for something you didn't pick up, by all means ask us next week.

So we're not doing Record Store Day but we are a record store and Saturday is a day, so we sort of are. What I mean to say is we're open on Saturday, basically. Like always. If you just want a normal thing, we'll be there ✌

16/04/2026

For those heading to Supersonic this year, we're delighted to confirm we're trading in the market place on Saturday 25th inside Zellig. You don't need to be strictly festival-going to visit, entry to the market is free to all.

We're going to be bringing some high-quality used discs plus the usual brand new releases and other releases befitting of the event 🙏
