Record Store Day is quickly approaching and this Saturday brings goodness from Marty Willson-Piper, best known for his lengthy involvement with The Church and All About Eve and collaborations with Grace Slick, Aimee Mann, Susannah Hoffs and Linda Perry. This is a blue-tinged vinyl release (as a heavy-weight gatefold double LP) of his seminal album ‘Hanging Out In Heaven’. It includes 2 bonus tracks not included on the original edition – ‘Queen In Her Jeans’ and ‘Dressed Up As You’. Recorded around the same time, these were always intended for the vinyl version.
“At last, my fifth solo album, Hanging Out In Heaven, will be released through Schoolkids Records on Record Store Day. It’s been a long wait for one of my most well-received records. The album has new artwork and comes on blue double vinyl with two extra tracks. Recorded in sessions in L.A. and Sweden with the two added songs recorded in London, the album contains some of the most emotional and poignant songs I ever wrote,” says Marty Willson-Piper.
This album from Marty Willson-Piper follows up the success of last year’s Record Store Day vinyl release of ‘Spirit Level’ also via Schoolkids Records, which was originally released in 1992.
