Coming soon… July 18th.

July 1 on a sweltering day in the U.K. Keeping up the tradition of a few years, we’re launching our Annual Sale. Downloads for all titles we control are ‘Name your Price ‘ with no minimum from today. The only exceptions are where a label has control of a title. The Sale ends on the last day of July. Happy Scrolling…and know proceeds go towards The Dots’ forthcoming American Adventure.

When Worlds Collide

Fourth Dimension Records’  Various Artist compilation ‘When Worlds Collide‘ is a 2xLP release that includes a track by Edward Ka-Spel. The first 100 copies of the 2LP also arrive with a vinyl postcard featuring an exclusive bonus track from Edward Ka-Spel called ‘You Are Welcome’.  Find it here.

If Brass Wakes A Trumpet

Sometimes a Labour of love needs a lot of time. That’s certainly the case with ‘If Brass Wakes a Trumpet’. This 3 x cd project from Matt Waldron ( Nurse With Wound, irr.app.ext) was conceived in the wake of a life-threatening health emergency and I’m proud that the Pink Dots played a part in the release alongside friends and contemporaries such as Nurse With Wound, Current 93, Christoph Heemann – the list goes on…As for the presentation, prepare to scrape your jaw off the floor. 7 years in the making, but it will disappear much faster.

It’s almost numbing to think that our cassette release ,’Apparition’ is now 43 years old – but I’m delighted to say that it is now available as a dedicated CD release by the wonderful Klanggalerie label. The sonic overhaul was drastic and painstaking, and 2 extra tracks from the time are added. It’s the Pink Dots’ 45th Anniversary year – expect more dives into the archives as we celebrate this occasion. The link on the label’s website is: www.klanggalerie.com/gg516. Klanggalerie via Bandcamp can be accessed here: https://klanggalerie.bandcamp.com/

Mayday! It seems appropriate as we’ll spend the next weeks (or months) in a state of panic as we wait for our American work permits to (hopefully) be processed. We can hurry things up but it will cost a second small fortune- it honestly is more relaxing to actually be out on the road.

Even so we are shamelessly trying to raise funds for the adventure and a Bandcamp Friday certainly helps.

A couple of interesting new CDRs are being launched today while a clean up of the stock cupboard produced a few titles that we thought were gone for years.

For a much requested CD-R edition of ‘Tales from the Trenches’, go here or here.

Meanwhile , last October’s Dynasti performance in Nijmegen is also now available on CD-R . For that one, go here.
