Upcoming on Lumberton Trading Company is a new limited edition LP from Edward Ka-Spel called ‘Tales from the Trenches’. Representing the second solo release from Edward on the label, it comprises eight compositions of a starkly personal nature themselves drawing from a range of sources themselves shaped into something entirely his own. This LP is at the plant now. I hope we will see test pressings in September/October. These things always take a while, but you can guarantee getting a copy by pre-ordering it now through Fourth Dimension Records or through The Legendary Pink Dots’ bandcamp.

On this Summer Day in London with the temperature approaching the mid-thousands, it feels like the perfect moment to launch the Legendary Pink Summer Sale at legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com.  Over 90% of the releases available for download are ‘Name your price’ with no minimum. This sale will also be on at edwardka-spel.bandcamp.com. Seek and ye shall find. The sale ends on July 31.

Today’s BC Friday is about a release coming up in (hopefully) October as ‘The Concrete Diaries’ is set to appear on vinyl…in fact, three different shades of it no less.

The wait for a pressing to appear is mercifully much shorter now. A big thank you to Johnny at Witch Cat Records for making this happen. It’s available here: https://legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com and here: https://witchcatrecords.bandcamp.com

It will come in 3 different color variants. 100 available in each color.
