Tears For Fears

Head Over Heels (Talamanca System Remix)

Mercury

    THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2018 EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.

    As per the previous PR for the Talamanca System Tribal Persuasion mix, part of the true spirit of Balearic/Ibiza has always been slightly left field pop - Prefab Sprout, It’s Immaterial, Talk Talk and of course TFF, so TFF are always held in high regard by the Balearic brigade and this song (Head over Heels) in particular. Whilst a slightly daunting prospect to remix, across the 4 remixes (two by Talamanca and two by Mark Barrott) the aim was to capture the original spirit of Ibiza across it’s different moods, from the dance floor to Sunset via the early poly-rhythms of Underworld, the dramatic majesty of Padilla’s Cafe Del Mar and the dubbed out vibe’s of Larry Heard inspired slo mo house.Whilst these are to be enjoyed by all, in many ways their natural home is on vinyl, as they capture that original spirit and re-frame it in a modern context, taking the atmosphere of the original track and intertwining it with all the aforementioned elements of Ibiza’s musical heritage. Packaging will be black in colour.

      Django Unchained Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

      Mercury

      ‘Django Unchained’ is the new film from Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, Inglourious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) and tells the story of a Dr. King Schultz (Christolph Waltz), who buys the freedom of a slave, Django (Jamie Foxx), and trains him with the intent to make him his deputy bounty hunter. Instead, he is led to the site of Django's wife (Kerry Washington) who is under the hands of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), a ruthless plantation owner, and Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave.

      Tarantino says of the album: “In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack – many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60’s and 70’s, I wanted to use the vinyl I’ve been listening to for years – complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people’s experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time.”

      The album also includes Tarantino’s trademark snippets of dialogue from the movie.

        Having released their debut single 'Chemicals' in the summer the band were immediately asked to perform on Later with Jools Holland which aired in the Autumn.

        Cover of Sun Comes Up Again by I Am Arrows.

        I Am Arrows

        Sun Comes Up Again

        Mercury

        A skilled multi-instrumentalist - he played every instrument on the album - and an extraordinarily talented songwriter, in Razorlight, Andy Burrows aka I Am Arrows, was an intrinsic part of the success of that band’s multi-million selling eponymous second album before his departure in 2008.
        After a long time (literally) taking a backseat, Andy Burrows and his songs are now front and centre. Ideas, for so long stoppered up, are flooding out of him. You can hear this – the relief, the fun, the ambition, the talent – in the songs bursting all over the album.
        Beautiful pop songs that suggest Seventies soul, modern ‘beats and bleeps’, and timeless melodies. Heartfelt songs about love, doubt, confusion, romance and, here and there, the mercurial ‘bromance’ he had with his former bandmates. The songs are small but huge, warmly fuzzy but perfectly formed, instantly appealing and naggingly unforgettable.

        Cover of Wild Young Hearts by Noisettes.

        Noisettes

        Wild Young Hearts

        Mercury

        Two years on from a debut album awash with punk spirit and scorching blues-rock, London trio Noisettes make their return with "Wild Young Hearts", a set of sleek pop songs steeped in soul, dizzy on disco and harking back to the days of blues and jazz greats. From the galloping funk grooves of forthcoming, first single "Don't Upset The Rhythm", to the joyous, jazzy title track, the stomping electro-rock of "Saturday Night", the glorious 60s-tinged soul of "Never Forget You" and the sultry, shimmering pop of "24 Hours", in "Wild Young Hearts", Noisettes have made what is set to be one of 2009's most adventurous albums. Never fond of a formula, the trio always intended a radical musical detour from their acclaimed debut, "What's The Time Mr Wolf?", an album that spawned five singles and took them on tour for over a year, sharing arena stages with Muse and criss-crossing the States with TV On The Radio and Bloc Party. If you can imagine a hybrid of Blondie, Ting Tings and Rihanna, you'll begin to get an idea of how special this new record is. Vocalist Shingai Shoniwa, meanwhile, is fast becoming a style icon with the makings of a modern-day Deborah Harry.

        Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong

        Where Do You Go?

        Mercury

        "Where Do You Go?" encapsulates all that is wonderful about Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong within its three perfectly formed minutes. Searing guitars, teenage drama, and an irrepressible chorus all add up to make a song that simultaneously embraces the last 50 years of pop music whilst grinding it under its heel.

        Just Jack

        Overtones

        Mercury

        Boasting 12 tracks that bristle with razor-sharp lyrics, shimmering melodies and incandescent beats, "Overtones" is Just Jack's sophomore album, following up 2003's "The Outer Marker". Neither bound by musical restrictions nor the notional idea of cool, he's taken the sum of his individual influences and turned them into this unique, genre-hopping, jump-up album. Highlights include the muted, pulsing melodies of "Disco Friends" (who hasn't got several of those?), the twisted synths of "I Talk Too Much", the striking acoustics of "Hold On" and of course brilliant singles "Writer's Block" and "Starz In Their Eyes". While he fits into the new school of British storytelling, his music isn't ashamed to wear its party heart on its sleeve. Just Jack isn't angsty or self-regarding. He knows that a delicious, sly groove is the best way to access the soul – and does exactly that.

        The Rapture

        Pieces Of The People We Love

        Mercury

        Since The Rapture burst onto the scene with the astonishingly good "House Of Jealous Lovers" back in 2002, everyone and their dog has rediscovered early 80s punk-funk and slavishly copied the likes of the Gang Of Four for their own (often second rate) bands. With angular guitar shards, shouty vocals and funky bass and drums becoming one of the ubiquitous sounds of the mid 00s, the returning Rapture had to come up with something pretty good to even get noticed. Luckily for us "Pieces Of The People We Love" is not only pretty good but also fantastic and should re-affirm our faith in the New York outfit's songwriting ability, proving that they're more than just skinny jeans and cool haircuts. Essential!

        In the months leading up to his passing on September 12, 2003, Johnny Cash had been recording new material with producer Rick Rubin. "American V: A Hundred Highways", is the result from those sessions including the last song Cash ever wrote, "Like the 309". Rick Rubin sums up the album, 'these songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear.' - Rick Rubin

          This 95 minute DVD captures the spirit of Razorlight and their incredible live performances, plus all their videos (never previously available on enhanced CDs) and some exclusive extras. The concert was filmed on the "Rock'n'Roll Riot" headline tour in October 2004 at Brixton Academy. The extras include all seven of their videos from the rough-and-ready "Rock'n'Roll Lies" to the smash hit "Somewhere Else", plus three previously unseen exclusive live clips. Clip one is "Golden Touch" from the rooftop guerilla gig at Bricklayer's Arms pub in East London. Clips two and three are the highly sought-after B-sides "Heartbreak Soup" (performed acoustically before the Mean Fiddler gig in May 2004), and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" (filmed at a secret gig at the Bull & Gate - drummer Andy Burrow's first with the band having only joined 10 days prior).

          Ryan Adams And The Cardinals

          Cold Roses

          Mercury

            Piccadilly staffer Andrew McQueen wrote the following review on this record's release in 2005: The chameleon returns. This time there's no posturing. If you found the 80s underground rock or bleak, broken downer songs a little disorientating, then prepare to be puzzled again. Ryan returns to alt-countryville, but these aren't "Gold"'s singalongs, or "Heartbraker"'s Dylanish rollers. Instead, this double CD meanders beautifully, laid back and unusual, and if anyone springs to mind, this time it's Neil Young. Nothing leaps out but you can feel yourself being drawn in. This isn't a pop record at all. It's too early to tell how great this record is: it's a proper double album with some tricky arrangements, but Ryan's using his gorgeous country voice again and not throwing shapes or trying on hats. The real Ryan Adams has just stood up. Maybe! Watch this space.....

            STAFF COMMENTS

            Alex Harvey

            Considering The Situation - A Journey Through The

            Mercury

            The remarkable career of Scotland's Alex Harvey is one laced with tragedy and wild creativity. His brother Les, guitarist with Stone The Crows, died on stage in the early 70s and the accident seemed to galvanise Alex into a burst of creative energy, forming a new band, one that cemented his own legend as leader of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. His career began in the early 60s, (he won a competition as Scotland's answer to Tommy Steele), through a stint in "Hair" and then the SAHB's always fighting the bottle and fate. This comprehensive double is a perfect overview of the career of one of rock's true characters.

              Shelby Lynne - gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. But can she sing? Well yes actually! She turned the conservative Nashville prudes on their heads with her multi million seller "I Am Shelby Lynne", overcoming the bathos of her tragic early life with a new look at alt.country, and this is more of the same. The added redolence of performing John Lennon's "Mother" makes it one of the album's many highlights.
