A New Year, a newsletter. May all who read this have a glorious 2019 however uncertain the World may seem right now. Ultimately it all ends up in a history book, and who knows….maybe this worrying phase shall appear as a mere footnote that will have future generations laughing.
The Dots are planning for a year of intense activity. Songs are written for a new album, and dedicated recording begins in earnest soon which we may well support with a Pledge Music campaign.
The reissue programme continues unabated with “The Golden Age” and “Malachai” appearing in full double vinyl glory through Metropolis Records in February and “Five Days/Five Days -The Instrumentals” and a much expanded and sonically enhanced “Come Out From The Shadows Volume 2” just released on cd by Cleopatra Records. Another European tour is slated for May and, if all goes well, we’ll be off to America in The Fall.
Listed below are new releases, some are already in stock, others fairly imminent. For availability, please make direct enquiries to qaspel@gmail.com or visit our Bandcamp site at: legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com
JUST RELEASED
1. Five Days / Five Days – The Instrumentals (CD)
Unavailable for a year, “Five Days” and “Five Days-The Instrumentals” are now combined on a single cd, handsomely packaged through Cleopatra Records.
PRICE: 15 euros (plus postage)– IN STOCK
2. Come Out From The Shadows Volume 2 (CD)
This once exclusive Bandcamp release has been sonically enhanced, extended with extra tracks and released on cd by Cleopatra Records from Los Angeles. A glimpse into how the Shadow Weaver and Malachai albums came into existence with this collection of raw , searching sessions where Patrick Q. was a guest on violin together with a mystery percussionist who took everyone’s breath away. We kept this release raw in order to give the listener the feeling that he or she is right in the room with the musicians. Quiet pleasures are here, my friends.
PRICE: 15 euros (plus postage)
IN STOCK
3. The Golden Age (Remastered & Expanded) (2 x LP) / (CD)
1988. Half of the 6 piece Pink Dots had quit after a long tour. EK and The Silverman were living in a caravan.It was never going to be a happy album…yet it remains a personal favourite for the 2 survivors of LPDs class of ’88.
2018. It’s been remastered as a gloriously expanded reissue on double vinyl and a cd edition that sounds as it always should have done thanks to Metropolis Records.This double vinyl has a bonus 4th side (Live on Radio Bremen 1987) and and an extra song (“The Whore Of Babylon”) which emerged from “The Golden Age “ sessions.
