Jimi recently guested on Andy Votel’s Songs of Insolence radio show. You can listen to the show here. Includes a good shout out for Chicago local RP Boo, with his south side MLK Drive parade track Banging on King Drive!

Interest in Doves doesn’t appear to have waned one bit! The vinyl reissues announced earlier today appear to be selling well going by the Amazon UK vinyl chart..

The combined CD & Vinyl chart make similar happy viewing, only the latest Now compilation holding the vinyl off top spot!

Sadly lost in the mix today, this beauty of a poster for the newly announced Brighton gig! This poster makes me want to go to the Brighton! Alas I cannot, so get those winter dates announced please…

Doves are excited to announce the release of numbered, limited edition, 2LP coloured vinyl packages of their first three albums.

Lost Souls, The Last Broadcast and Some Cities will be released on Friday 31st, all with original artwork, sleeve notes and a download code. You can pre-order yours here: https://Doves.lnk.to/2LPReissue

Stay tuned for more news from Doves..

For Doves train spotter fans only.. Here’s a wee hidden gem found thanks to Reform Doves!

An unheard of (by me anyways) live acoustic version of Black & White Town issued as part of a vinyl promo box set by the US retail giant Target. Released in 2005, the live version I believe is taken from this performance in Amsterdam recorded in February of 05.

A neat find! I don’t recall this release being advertised at the time. A cheaper CD version of the release can also be found on discogs for you completists out there.

Do you know of any rarer than rocking horse shit Doves stuff out there? Drop me a line!
