Hello folks!
It's Friday, what time is Crackerjack on?
A few bits for you this week. Just back in stock on white vinyl, we have two Graham Day & The Gaolers albums! The new 7" from Cyanide Pills is out now and currently getting plays on 6Music. Oh and if you couldn't bear the crowds on Record Store Day we have a few leftover copies of the Butcher Boy 7" now available direct from us!
Graham Day & The Gaolers - Two reissued LPs! Now on white vinyl!
We've reissued two LPs by Graham Day & The Gaolers. Soundtrack To The Daily Grind and Triple Distilled have long been out of print but are available again now on white vinyl. How lovely!
Also due out in a couple of months are three reissues from The SolarFlares! More details to follow soon!
Cyanide Pills - Big Mistake (7"/DIGI)
'Big Mistake' is taken from the Sliced and Diced album and features an exclusive B-side 'My Baby's Become A Right Wing Extremist', it's out now. Reserve your copy by clicking on the sleeve art. Oh and it's on orange vinyl if you like that kind of thing!
BUTCHER BOY - BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN IT'S QUIET (Ltd. 7" - 500 copies)
We have a few left! It's a very special gatefold, reverse board sleeve, a lovely looking (& sounding) thing, each copy contains a digital download card.
The EP entitled 'Bad Things Happen When It’s Quiet', is a three-part story told from three perspectives and was recorded in Glasgow with long-time collaborator Brian McNeill.
The songs on the record are:-
November 1947, Storm Warning In Effect
July 1950, The Captain is the Whale
November 1951, Bad Things Happen When It’s Quiet
The songs, written over the course of a series of autumn and winter trips to the Cape Cod National Seashore, feature guest vocals from Anna Miles, Moog synthesisers, a choir, a string quartet and a weather radio, bought for twenty-five cents at a holiday fair in Brewster, MA.
Check out the video made to accompany the strings only version. (This song is the demo, not on the single, but will give you an idea.)
