1LP edition of the seminal 1989 album in its original sleeve.

Rightly regarded as one of The Durutti Column’s finest works, Vini Reilly is a delicately brilliant masterpiece. Vini Reilly’s intricate finger-picked guitar and Bruce Mitchell’s jazz-inflected drumming are embellished with samples to stunning effect, most famously on “Otis”, which samples Otis Redding and Tracy Chapman. 

Produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries, New Order)

Mastered by Peter Beckmann at Technology Works

One of the greatest records ever to emerge from Manchester.

‘Stay’ by Shakespears Sister stands as one of the most creatively and commercially powerful singles of the early 1990s, dominating the UK Singles Chart for eight consecutive weeks, one of the longest-running Number One hits of its era.

‘Stay’ was a defining cultural and artistic statement, the track’s dramatic structure and accompanying video shifting from a delicate ballad into a theatrical, gothic climax.

Decades later, ‘Stay’ continues to win new fans through chart re-entries and renewed popularity, most recently cited by Charli XCX as a key influence on her soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights’.

This 12” features four tracks previously unreleased on vinyl, as well as the Andre Betts (producer Madonna, Living Colour) 12” Remix, which is released commercially for the first time.

Rufige Kru return with ‘Alpha Omega (Remixes)’, featuring four heavyweight re-imaginings of their recent jungle / drum & bass belters.

One of the most revered names in breakbeat science, Rufige Kru rewired the dancefloor for the first time back in 1992 with hardcore classics such as ‘Darkrider’, ‘Beachdrifta’ and ‘Terminator’, key moments in the evolution of drum & bass.

‘Alpha Omega (Remixes)’ takes the project's tracks to a new level, with fresh reworks from Metalheadz residents Phase, Seba & Paradox, Special Request and Rufige Kru’s very own Submotive. Each remix twists the raw intensity and deep atmospherics of the originals into something darker, harder and sharper.

Northside played a huge part in Manchester’s early nineties soundtrack. Signed to Factory, the band were said to be the bridge between the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays, and made their mark in the blooming ‘baggy’ scene.

Northside’s career sprung to life with the release of their first single “Shall We Take A Trip?’. The band’s 1991 second single, ‘Take 5’ reached the top five in the Billboard alternative songs chart and it also saw them appear on Top of the Pops that June.

“The music matched the threads and that lazyitis wonk groove which was a nod to dance floors and raves was infused by smoking dope and dancing to the city’s moving pulsebeat.” - John Robb

London Records have pressed some limited edition 12” white labels featuring fresh 2025 cuts from Veteran remixers The Reflex & Leo Zero, giving their signature takes on these Madchester dance floor fillers.

With an inspired selection of collaborators including strings from the London Metropolitan Orchestra and two songs featuring the American rap rock band Fun Loving Criminals, ‘What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?’ featured two singles, the title track, and the atmospheric fan favourite ‘Rust’, which would mark the band’s final Top 40 UK single.

Synth pop trio Bronski Beat’s 1984 debut ‘The Age of Consent’ is a rarity in musical history - an album that both defined a generation and challenged the status quo.

40 years later and ‘The Age of Consent’ remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its original release; truly transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden with hooks.

To celebrate this important anniversary, London Records revisit the album across a series of formats, uncovering sonic archival gems, new mixes and more.

‘Timeless’ is regularly cited as one of electronic music’s most critically acclaimed and influential albums, a ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ for the rave generation, and it remains as relevant and influential as ever.

As Tony Marcus, writing in Mixmag back in 1995, concluded: “‘Timeless’ is a record that couldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for the party, the MDMA, the noise and the rage. ‘Timeless’ tells you that you can’t ignore or erase this history because to Goldie, and to so many others, it holds their lives, dreams and feelings.”

‘Timeless’ went on to become a landmark release, not just for drum & bass but for electronic music as a whole. Within a year of its release (1995), it had racked up more than 100,000 sales.

The same vision that drove the original album informs this new remix album, with each mix commissioned by Goldie himself from a selection of his closest collaborators and most respected peers.

New remixes from contemporary producers such as Break, Grey Code, Searchlight and Scar.

A second disc features classic remixes from enduring drum & bass pioneers Doc Scott, Nookie, 4 Hero, Photek, Baby Boys, Peshay and TeeBee, all newly remastered for the project.

Happy Mondays release this special 7" in memory of their legendary bassist Paul Ryder, who tragically passed away earlier this year. The 'Tart Tart’ limited edition 7” contains the original of the track, which originally appeared on Happy Mondays 1987 debut album Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) and was produced by John Cale. On the B-Side is a live version of the track from a BBC John Peel session.

Paul’s brother, Happy Monday’s vocalist Shaun Ryder comments: "This special release of Tart Tart showcases the unique musical talent of our brother Paul Ryder who passed from this world ... we will all miss you Horse...he brought the funk and the rock n roll to Happy Mondays … love you long time R kid”

All profits from the release will be donated to Music Cares, a charity chosen by Paul’s daughter Amelia, who comments: "Music Cares is a charity that helps people in the music industry who are struggling with addiction issues. 14 years ago, Paul was given help and support from the organization who helped fund extended outpatient care and therapy that enabled him to have 14 subsequent happy and productive years. Just two weeks ago he mentioned them in an interview and often expressed his gratitude and desire to pay their support forward so others could be helped too.”

STAFF COMMENTS

Laura says: In the late 80s The 'Monday's released a handful of 12" singles on Factory Records, combining indie guitars with a loose, funky swagger, topped with Shaun's mad, stream of consciousness lyrics delivered with his distinctly Salfordian bark. Paul Ryder's guitar grooves were the backbone of songs like "Delightful", "Freaky Dancing" and this track, "Tart, Tart" which went on to influence the whole Madchester thing, and well, you know the rest....

To celebrate the 30-year Anniversary of Shakespear's Sister’s seminal album. ‘Hormonally Yours’, London Records announce a special edition release across multiple formats.

A double Platinum and Top 3 UK album, ‘Hormonally Yours’ secured Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit a place in British pop history - spawning the single ‘Stay’, which spent a staggering eight consecutive weeks at the top of the UK charts - and won the duo an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection.

‘Hormonally Yours’ also features singles ‘Goodbye Cruel World’ and ‘I Don’t Care’, tackles friendships gone wrong on ‘My Sixteenth Apology’, powerful, dangerous attraction on ‘Emotional Thing’ and documents a friend’s coming out on ‘Are We In Love Yet?’ Fan favourite ‘The Trouble With Andre’, the fullthrottle glam-blues of ‘Cat Woman’ and glorious finale ‘Hello (Turn Your Radio On)’ is the album’s glorious finale: an exhalation; a glorious, earthshuddering moment that recalls the epic melancholy of David Bowie’s ‘Five Years’ and The Beatles’ ‘A Day In The Life’.

Shakespears Sister’s second album, ‘Hormonally Yours’ provided the perfect encapsulation of the duo’s musical ying and yang; a deftly delivered balance of pop melody with a spikey alternative darkness.

Redskins were formed in York in 1982 by Chris Dean (vocals/guitar), Martin Hewes (bass/backing vocals) and Nick King (drums), with the ambition to “sing like The Supremes and walk like The Clash”. Dean and Hewes were members of the Socialist Workers Party and politics guided the music created by Redskins, their soulful songs brimming with righteous passion. Six tracks on ‘Neither Washington Nor Moscow’ were released as singles, including the band’s only Top 40 “Bring It Down! (This Insane Thing)” and the prophetic “Kick Over The Statues”. Redskins split in late 1986, leaving a legacy and influence that stretches far beyond their short recording career.

The reissue comes complete with new sleeve notes by Redskins bassist Martin Hewes, and the boxset will include a 68-page booklet with liner notes from Hewes and Redskins drummer Paul Hookham (who replaced original drummer Nick King in 1985) and renowned contemporaries including Billy Bragg and Paul Morley.

STAFF COMMENTS

Andy says: Happy Mondays lit up the late 80s with their barely contained, shambolic but groovey take on punk-funk and god knows what else! They were, in short, totally original. In frontman Shaun Ryder they had a complete one-off who label boss Tony Wilson famously compared to W.B.Yeats! These early twelves (85-88) are presented here as four different coloured vinyl, remastered from the original analogue tapes and housed in a 300 gram carton slipcase.

Goldie’s 1995 debut album "Timeless" changed the face of music culture. Bringing the nascent drum & bass scene to the masses, the album careered into the Top 10 and hit a number of Album Of The Year polls, with Goldie becoming a star in the process. However, while everyone was eagerly anticipating a repeat of the "Timeless" formula, Goldie had other ideas. Instead, he pushed his creativity to the max and released "Saturnz Return". Brave, innovative, experimental and bursting with emotion, the two-disc 150-minute album proved to be one of the most bold and divisive sets in history. The groundbreaking set featured David Bowie, Noel Gallagher and KRS-One.

Now with a 21st Anniversary Edition released via London Records, all of the original tracks on the album have been remastered specifically and the 3CD collection also adds a third volume of bonus material. It compiles brand new remixes alongside remastered remixes - which receive their first release on CD - as well as other rarities. The collection also adds three rarities that were discovered in Goldie’s personal archive, all of which shine fresh light on the influence that classical music had upon him. These consist of the string arrangement for "Mother", plus early instrumental versions of "Dragonfly" and "What You Won’t Do For Love". It’s completed by remixes that were discovered in the London Records archive. Now remastered and making their debut on CD, these include rare mixes from Optical, MJ Cole and Grooverider.

Rafi’s Revenge originally peaked at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart and was shortlisted for the 1998 Mercury Music Prize, with Bobby Gillespie hailing them at the time as ‘the best live act in Britain’. This 21 year anniversary reissue includes a limited edition, coloured 2xLP plus expanded digital & CD editions with bonus tracks selected by Adrian Sherwood. To celebrate the release the band are playing at Rich Mix, London on 28th March.

By the time they recorded Rafi’s Revenge in 1998, Asian Dub Foundation were primed to explode. Having initially emerged from East London’s grassroots Community Music project as a largely studio-based collective, the band had galvanised themselves into a riotously exciting touring machine by the late Nineties. Their extraordinary live shows around this period were electrifying to witness, kinetic and dynamic, incendiary and euphoric, confrontational yet celebratory. For sheer roof-raising energy, they were unrivalled. ADF have evolved enormously over the last two decades, of course, but their breakthrough album remains a fascinating chapter in the real, complex, unwritten history of Britpop. Expanded and enlarged for this anniversary edition, these multi-layered musical treasures still dazzle and delight with their grandiose ambition and riotous energy.
