It’s the 3rd of July, it’s raining and …….the first day of the Legendary Pink Dots’ annual sale.
All titles we control (there are a handful where the label controls the release) will have a ‘name your prices’ status with no minimum until August 13.

We have also reduced the price on the handful of individual cds we have released over the years (‘The Moon Cracked Over Albion’, ‘Chemical Playschool volumes 19 & 20′, The Seismic bleats of Quantum Sheep’ and ‘Tease Seize Apply’) There’s a lot to explore…possibly it will take the curious visitor an hour to find the exit. Enjoy!!!

Randall Frazier is starting a series of bedtime stories, starting with alice in wonderland.  Find it on his Orbit Service’s Bandcamp.

A bit of a momentous day as 34 years after it’s initial release, The Legendary Pink Dots 1990 album ‘Four Days’ emerges as a limited edition double LP for the first time. Containing six bonus tracks and a special remaster, the double disc has been released by Witch Cat Records, Denver and the 3 variations of vinyl are black, desert brown and citrus yellow.

Paying tribute to the initial cassette release, the gatefold sleeve is adorned with Elke Skeltzer’s stunningly unique artwork, which was scanned from the original cassette cover and inserts that were packaged in a plastic baggie along with said cassette.

The records come in 3 different colors, Classic Black, Clear Desert Brown, and Citrus Mixed. 100 Copies of each available. 10 Test Pressings will be available, each with a unique cover made by Edward Ka-Spel.  Order here.

The recent show in London presented the opportunity to replenish the stock of many physical items here in London, so the ‘sold out’ sign has been removed repeatedly today. Explore here:

Heksescapes
There is also a small increase in the edition of ‘Heksescapes’ as many people missed it for purely geographical reasons ( it was gone before the Pacific West Coast woke up!). More announcements to come very soon!

Lyvv China Doll 2024 Redux
“Lyvv China Doll” started life as an elaborate but very elusive cassette release from The Dots’ TEKA label- it was half live material and half comprised of bits and pieces that needed a home. Later it became a cd for the Staalplaat label and the live side was dropped while more bits and pieces came into view. This remaster brings the two releases together.

Today sees the last Bandcamp Friday for a few months and the announcement of a physical release that has been quietly worked upon for some time.

TLPD- 40 Angels (The Archive)

The only previous physical release of the mammoth ‘40 Angels‘ project was an ill fated DVD-A. Around 50 were made and sent, but the pandemic meant some just never landed and those that did sometimes wouldn’t play on standard DVD players.
The new format is a 4 x CD-R set , all handmade, tastefully packaged and rather beautiful. A single copy takes quite a while to prepare so it’s necessarily limited – it can be found HERE.
SOLD OUT

Edward Ka-Spel- Heksescapes

There’s also a new release for Spring from yours truly entitled ‘Heksescapes‘ which can be found here:

Edward Ka-Spel- Tales from the Trenches

A few more copies of ‘Tales from the Trenches‘ vinyl have also been posted now we have them in stock.

Outside of these projects, lots of writing and recording is going on for the forthcoming Pink Dots’ album and we’re excited! More news to come soon. Love’n’peace ….

For all who perhaps missed this a few days ago, The Scriptures of Illumina (Edward Ka-Spel) from 1995 has been remastered and the sonic improvement is seismic.

This download is available on EK’s and TLPD’s Bandcamp pages.

Fragments of Illumina is just short of 20 years old by now so it felt like a good moment to revisit this old chestnut and give it some serious sonic enhancement as well as a new cover.

Available as a download and a limited edition CD-R of 69 copies, you can find this album on both EK’s and TLPD’s Bandcamp pages.
