Clash - Hits Back

The tracklisting is sequenced from the band's legendary Brixton Fairdeal show in 1982 and contains the best studio recordings of the full set, plus 8 additional iconic tracks. It comes with the original setlist, handwritten by Joe Strummer which he would tape to the back of his Telecaster before each gig.

"Every show was different. Joe would spend a lot of time composing the running order, considering dynamics, emotional impact and the key the songs were in. This record is based on Joe's setlist from The Casbah Club UK Tour, Brixton Fairdeal, 10th July 1982". Mick, Paul & Topper.

Darkroom - Gravity's Dirty Work (double vinyl preorder)

The Darkroom duo of Michael Bearpark (No-Man, Henry Fool) and Andrew Ostler (Expert Sleepers) return to Burning Shed with their first double album.

Begun as an exploration of early 90's electronica and its many sources, the album developed from extended improvisations through meticulous editing, layering and post-production into a coherent suite of music.

The trademark blurring of guitars, synthesiser and found sounds moves from the heavenly Beck meets Talk Talk atmospherics of 'Karhupuisto / Beautiful Retreat' via the apocalyptic foot-on-monitor fuzz mayhem of the title track coda, before closing with the evocative Scandinavian jazz-electronica fusion of 'A Pair A Part'.

Also featuring Andrew Booker (No-Man, Henry Fool, Sanguine Hum) on percussion and Simon H. Fell (Keith Tippett, Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill) on double bass, the album is mastered for all formats by Jon Astley (The Who, George Harrison, Tori Amos).

CD and limited edition gatefold double heavyweight (180g) LP plus bundle available; both with Carl Glover's unique artwork.

All LPs come with a high resolution lossless audio download code. All pre-orders come with signed postcard.
