“The 45rpm single, the hard, black centrepiece of the teenage revolution” – Bob Stanley
For 2015 we have asked some of our favourite bands and artists to collaborate on a one off single, to try something a little different, and to prove the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. These are then being pressed onto 2 colour vinyl discs, and inserted into numbered reverse board sleeves.
“It was a piece of science as much as it was art and beauty and sex and glamour” – Paul Morley
Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
