The song is a duet featuring the vocals of lead singer James Dean Bradfield and Nina Persson of the band The Cardigans, as well as additional vocals from the bands bass guitarist Nicky Wire . It was originally released on 23rd April 2007. According to the band they always had a duet in mind, seeing that the lyrics have a question reply style to them , According to lead singer Bradfield the title was the last line of a suicide note left by the friend of someone close to the group.

According to Nicky Wire the song is in part concerned with the disappearance of Richey Edwards... while I was writing those words addressed to him, on Your Love Alone…something touched me at my desk when I wrote “I could have shown you how to cry”

Like with all “Send Away the Tigers”-related material, the cover image is taken from the photography book Monika Monster Future First Woman on Mars by Valerie Phillips .

The song’s lyrics reference past classic British rock songs:

The CREATION – ” Power Surge ” Record Store Day Release 2017

Alan McGee was such a big fan of The Creation that he named his record label after the band, and named his own band after one of their songs – Biff Bang Pow. The Creation was formed in 1966 from beat combo The Mark Four, and was quickly signed to a production deal with Shel Talmy, The Who’s producer. The first release was the urgent “Making Time”, which featured guitarist Eddie Phillips playing his guitar with a violin bow, two years before Jimmy Page started doing so.

Whilst very popular in Germany, UK success largely eluded the band, and after a number of non-charting singles and line-up changes, the band broke up in 1968 without ever having released an album. In 1995, following a reunion concert at Harlesden’s Mean Fiddler, Alan McGee and Joe Foster managed to persuade the original line-up of Eddie Phillips, lead singer Kenny Pickett, bassist Bob Garner and drummer Jack Jones to get into a studio and record a new album, for release on Creation Records! The results were issued in 1996, with a very limited release on vinyl. Sadly the reunion was cut short by Kenny Pickett’s death from a heart attack in 1997.

This limited edition reissue is pressed on purple vinyl, and features the original inner sleeve.

“Copper Blue” is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Sugar. It was voted 1992 Album of the Year by the NME. All of the songs were written by guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, who also co-produced with Lou Giordano .  The song “The Slim” is about losing someone to AIDS. Musically, the band continues the thick punk guitar of Mould’s previous band, Husker Du, while slowing the tempo and emphasizing melody even more.

A limited edition initial run of the CD was released by Rykodisc in a front-and-back metal copper sleeve with each of the 2,500 copies containing a one-of-a-kind polaroid photo taken by one of the three band members and stamped on the back with “Sugar Copper Blue Summer ’92.”

‘Rich Kid Blues’ by Marianne Faithfull.

Produced by Mike Leander, who had produced and arranged much of Faithfull’s Decca material,
“Rich Kid Blues” is an intriguing album of spare, largely acoustic readings of folk / rock songs, including
several Bob Dylan covers, as well as songs by Phil Ochs, George Harrison, Cat Stevens, Tim Hardin,
James Taylor and Sandy Denny.

Marianne Faithfull had this to say about the 1971 recordings: “The record itself is very strange and ghostly.
It’s the voice of somebody incredibly high, probably on the edge of death. They always sound like that. Johnny
Thunders sounds like that. Anybody who heard that record would have said, ‘Well that’s that. We’ll never hear
from her again’.”

Issued on vinyl for the first time since 1985, our Record Store Day 2017 edition is pressed on silver coloured
vinyl and limited to just 1000 copies worldwide.

Track Listing:

Side A
1. Rich Kid Blues
2. Long Black Veil
3. Sad Lisa
4. It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue
5. Southern Butterfly
6. Chords Of Fame

Side B
1. Visions Of Johanna
2. It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
3. Beware Of Darkness
4. Corrine, Corrina
5. Mud Slide Slim
6. Crazy Lady Blues

SPACEMEN 3 – ” Record Store Day Releases 2017 “

Jason Pierce has urged his fans NOT to buy Spacemen 3 albums on Saturday’s (22nd) Record Store Day event. The band, formed by Pierce and Pete Kember, earned a cult following during the 80’s with iconic records like “For All the Fucked Up Children of This World We Give You Spacemen 3″, “Sound of Confusion” and “Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To”. 

A falling out between Kember and Pierce resulted in the band splitting in 1991 and, as Record Store Day prepares to release three Spaceman 3 vinyls on Saturday, Pierce posted on his Spiritualized Facebook page to explain how a legal battle with former manager Gerald Palmer is resulting in a conflict of interests.

“We would seriously like to ask fans not to buy the Spacemen 3 releases and any merchandise that are being offered for sale on Record Store Day or any of the other Spacemen 3 releases and merchandise offered by Gerald Palmer on Space Age Recordings or any other subsidiary of that label, the statement read. 

“We are currently in legal dispute with Gerald Palmer due to him depriving us of our rights in our music and other intellectual property rights relating to Spacemen 3. Any monies from those sales will go directly to him and help fund his side of the dispute.

“In short… PLEASE DON’T BUY OUR RECORDS FROM SPACE AGE RECORDINGS! “Thanks for listening

“J Spaceman and Sonic Boom together t/a Spacemen 3″

‘Beautiful Strangers’ is an original song penned by Kevin Morby, which was initially released on Bandcamp to benefit the gun violence charity, Everytown for Gun Safety.

‘No Place To Fall’ is a staple of Kevin Morby’s live set. The two tracks will be released as a 7” for Record Store Day 2017, the proceeds of which will go to Everytown for Gun Safety. ‘Beautiful Strangers’ was named Best New Track on Pitchfork recently.

“This release is dedicated to and written for all the people I have never met but have only read about. The innocent people who were out living their lives and one day, without warning, had them taken away from them. People who liked to laugh, dance, and love in the way that we all do, but can’t anymore. All those names and faces, all those beautiful strangers… So here are two songs, “Beautiful Strangers” as well as my cover of Townes Van Zandt’s ‘No Place To Fall’ that I have been closing my live show with over the past year. Any purchase of these two songs will go to support the work of Everytown For Gun Safety – an organization I have followed for quite some time. I believe in and support them in their efforts to make the world a safer place. Do it for the kids. Love and peace” – Kevin Morby.

Limited to 500 copies for the UK and Eire.
