NOMEANSNO - Wrong (limited edition red vinyl) 2024 Reissue

ONLY 2 COPIES AVAILANLE IN LIMITED RED VINYL (limit 1)

At last, one of the all-time bat legends, NOMEANSNO has returned to Alternative Tentacles Records!!! Using the original all analog master from the original mother, as engineered by George Horn, John Wright, and Jello Biafra.

Originally released on Alternative Tentacles in 1989, WRONG stands on its own, and is still considered to be a much-loved classic, not unlike Pinocchio. Allmusic called the album a masterpiece and the definitive jazz core (currently securing rights to that one) album. In 2021, the album was voted by the public to win the Canadian Polaris Heritage Prize to honor classic Canadian albums released before the creation of the award.

In 2015, drummer John Wright described the album as their “most popular album by a country mile” harkening back to those early days of punk rock when time was measured by the lifespan of a raccoon, and to the St. Louis Music Press of WRONG’s success to the rise of alternative music and the success of Nirvana;

"That’s where all the buzz about us came from. We were touring throughout the States in the mid-80s, and we'd get a little bit of an audience here and there, but after a couple of years in Europe, we started doing some big shows there, and all of a sudden, people in the States were coming out to our shows. And we went from getting paid $200 to getting paid $1000. It was just like that. You had to have the buzz, and then it all just kind of blew up."

Limited to 500

Oingo Boingo - Dark At The End Of The Tunnel (dark green & black vinyl)
🟢⚫
The final album Oingo Boingo recorded for MCA Records was the 1990 release Dark At The End Of The Tunnel. With Danny Elfman becoming more involved in film scores, it had been three years since the last Oingo Boingo studio album.
🟢⚫
Dark At The End Of The Tunnel shows a maturing Elfman taking on more serious themes in the single 'Out Of Control'. Two other songs had already been released on film soundtracks, 'Flesh 'N Blood' was part of Ghostbusters II and 'Try To Believe' was included in Midnight Run.
🟢⚫
The signature Boingo horn section and various types of percussion remain across the album, whether it's the catchy 'Run Away (The Escape Song)', the delicate melody of 'Is This', or the more aggressive 'Glory Be'.

The debut EP by Oingo Boingo was released in 1980 on IRS Records. Three of the four songs included were from a self-financed demo the band had been passing around in an effort to obtain a recording contract. IRS originally released the EP on 10" vinyl with an inner sleeve containing lyrics and credits, including the original version of the track that would become the title of their eventual debut LP, Only A Lad.
💜
The EP would later be reissued on 12" vinyl, though no longer with the inner sleeve, and replaced the original recording of the song Ain't This The Life with a new recording more in line with the hyperactive vocals front man Danny Elfman would soon become known for.
💜
This new colored vinyl reissue compiles everything into a 12" package containing both versions of Ain't This The Life and including an insert replicating the inner sleeve from the original 10" release.

Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force - Planet Rock: The Album (blue, purple, and gold splatter)

🔵🟣🟡

Planet Rock: The Album is an old school hip hop album by Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, released in 1986 as a collection of previous singles. The song "Planet Rock" was one of the earliest hits of the hip hop music genre and remains one of its pioneering recordings.

The single's liner notes include members of Kraftwerk with the songwriting credits. In creating the track, portions of Kraftwerk's "Numbers" and "Trans-Europe Express" were interpolated (re-recorded in the studio, rather than through the use of a digital sampler), along with portions of songs by Captain Sky and Ennio Morricone.

Phish Evolve 2-LP 180g (Prismatic Velvet Tones Edition)

Evolve, Phish's 16th studio album, was recorded in the fall of 2023 at the band’s Vermont recording studio The Barn. The album was produced by Vance Powell and Bryce Goggin. True to Phish’s unique creative process, the album’s songs (including the already released “Evolve” and “Oblivion”) were selected from arrangements shaped by the band’s dynamic live performances.

Some, like the fan-favorite "A Wave Of Hope", have become springboards for Phish's most soaring improvisation. Throughout, the songcraft and production are confident and taut, with Phish’s distinct musical language on vivid display; still pushing boundaries, still very much continuing to evolve. “The Well” is only available on the vinyl version of the album.
