The thing about our label is that we get carried away and keep adding more bits until our profit margin is only visible with a microscope. Which is why #BandcampFriday is so huge for us.

Another reason not to pre-order. Shouldn't pre-orders be where the saving is? Apparently not. Just wait a little while and save, save, save.

Is there a digital only version of the full compilation available Pete?

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

Alas no. Licensing issues made it impossible. Sorry!

legacyadbryan.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thanks. Do physical copies come with a download code? Sorry for all of the questions.

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

I’m afraid not. You have to pay out extra to create a download code and we wanted to keep the retail price under £40. Sorry!

Dangerous album… it’s had me trawling Discogs and eBay for the last week finding stuff on vinyl that I owned on cassette 35 years ago.

simzdb.bsky.social•85 days ago

Wow. This is wonderful. I'm transported right back to my Brum days and Tuesday nights at the legendary Click Club. Just so many great tracks on here, many I'm hearing for the first time. Looking forward to volume 2!

I'll be buying today. By the way, it's so great to see the April Showers track on there. It was a minor hit on alternative radio in eighties Manila soon after its release, and a longtime favorite of mine.

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

Amazing! Did you grow up in Manila?

lossless.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes. You might already have heard, but new wave and indie were very popular on radio and in the shops in Manila back then. I think something really clicked with the young Filipino music fans - that dreamy, romantic quality of many songs.

petepaphides.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'd heard that was the case. Which reminds me, I'll soon have some news about a coming release that might ring a bell from your boyish days. Watch this space! #seewhatididthere

Mine has just arrived in the post this morning. Can’t wait to stop work and have a listen later. Wind back the clock to the jingly jangle morning of my life.

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

The response to the album have been beyond my wildest imaginings: four and five star reviews across the board. Very excited about getting to work on Volume 2!

Any chance of a Shoegazing one Pete ? ❤️🖤

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's a good idea! I feel like I might be stepping on Sonic Cathedral's shoes though!

prestonfalls.bsky.social•85 days ago

No , they stick with their own signings . Get it done man ! ❤️🖤

Our other big recent release is the deluxe, extensively annotated 3LP remaster of Astronauts by @thelilactime.bsky.social. The CD is sold out, but we have some vinyl left. These really are gasp-inducingly beautiful. Here's the ace new ad we made for #BandcampFriday https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG5GlF3CWML/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

I should add, with Astronauts that when they're gone, we really can't make any more of these. We're selling them at pretty much what they cost to make and when you receive one, you'll see why. FYI I believe there are currently about 130 remaining. https://www.tiktok.com/@needlemythology/video/7478985574867651873?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7394785701327341089

Thanks for the reminder. Now done 👍

petepaphides.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thank you Alex! I hope your faith is repaid! xx

realpaulmurray.bsky.social•85 days ago

Got mine fae @monorailmusic.bsky.social

alexmclaughlan.bsky.social•85 days ago

Looking at the tracklisting, I think that's guaranteed 😊

alexmclaughlan.bsky.social•85 days ago

Incidentally, your recent mention of Colin Vearncombe/Black has led to his back catalogue being the soundtrack of my Friday afternoon. Not that I need much excuse to play some CV.

Such a loss.
