The vinyl reissues seem to be going down well with the fanbase. A big well done to Paula who landed the 0001 edition of the Lost Souls vinyl reissue..

Also a big congratulations goes to the seller of the Some Cities 0001, who managed to sell it for £395! Incredible..

The reissues released by Virgin Records are pressed on limited, numbered, coloured 180g vinyl. No remastering has been done, these are just straight up reissues as advertised.

The vinyls come with a download card where you can download high quality wav files of the albums if you wish.

Whilst amazon have sold out there allocation, most local independent record stores are advertising on twitter that they have stock left to sell, but you may not want to hang about as I’m sure these won’t last. Record Store also seem to have some left if your quick. So go get them whilst you can…
