Come along and be the first to purchase the album on deluxe CD or gatefold vinyl. Release date for a shop 14th March.

May or may not have the REM album on Monday. I missed the email it was sold in on and these days there is no back up in case you miss something. Rep put it through straight away so if I’m lucky ……….  The reps that are left do their best but they are swamped […]

Leading exponents of cuddlecore according to our friends across the pond ZVG will pop in the shop to play a few songs on the way to their gig at the Voodoo Rooms later that night with Withered Hand. No we don’t have tickets and yes that is a sore point but on the plus side […]

    Record Store Day website now has a split cassette by Frightened Rabbit and Twilight Sad listed. I’ve heard they cover each others songs but hopefully I’ll get more news on that and how many there will be etc tomorrow from the label.

Really looking forward to this as I’ve never managed to catch them live before. Our best selling EP of last year or a top ten album depending where you stand on the 6 track mini album / EP. We will have the last few copies for sale along with the rest of the Chaffinch catalogue.

Anyone in the shop tomorrow can try to make a quick £50 by taking part in the Day V Lately competition from Yell. Funnier however will be the Menswe@r ad in which Johnny Dean tries to track down his classic first single “I’ll Manage Somehow” (1995 – #49).

We have a great selection of seven inches and CDs on the Chaffinch label this week. We also have a cracking sampler CD available for £1.99 or free when you buy any three label releases. The week will of course culminate in the Burnt Island in-store on Saturday. More news to follow.
