THIS HEAT Made Available (remastered) (reckless Color Vinyl Exclusive)

The Modern Classics label (via Light in the Attic) celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first ever gig by the legendary experimental rock group of London known as THIS HEAT with three new reissues. These Peel Sessions were recorded for the legendary DJ's BBC Radio 1 show & were the first proper recordings that people ever heard by the group. Songs from their first two albums are featured here along with some tape experiments unique to this release. These recordings were first officially released in the late 90's & this is the first re-release on vinyl since then featuring newly remastered sound. We are honored to present our own limited Reckless Records vinyl color of 100 copies of each of these essential remasters. This pressing is only available in our physical shops & web store & was also for sale at the 2018 Pitchfork Music Festival. RECOMMENDED OF COURSE.

Modern Classics
The Modern Classics label (via Light in the Attic) celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first ever gig by the legendary experimental rock group of London known as THIS HEAT with three new reissues. "Live 80-81" was compiled by guitarist Charles Bullen & drummer Charles Hayward & features lo-fi cassette recordings from various shows across Europe recorded in 1980 & 1981. As you can imagine with early 80's boombox recordings, the sound can be rough at times but the performances are incredible & prove that they were a formidable live band at their peak. We are honored to present our own limited Reckless Records vinyl color of 100 copies of each of these essential reissues. This pressing is only available in our physical shops & web store & was also for sale at the 2018 Pitchfork Music Festival. RECOMMENDED OF COURSE.

JOAN OF ARC 1984' (yellow Vinyl)
Joyful Noise
The talented Chicago artist (and sweetest girl on the planet) Melina Ausikaitis started performing as an a cappella singer a few years back. Sometimes she'd perform with a fake guitar that is just a chunk of wood shaped like a guitar without any strings. Soon after she joined JOAN OF ARC & has been a member ever since. "1984" is an album of those a cappella songs with JOAN OF ARC backing her up & it's wonderful. Melina's songs are more like short stories or journal entries & the musical accompaniment has a mostly improvised, sound collage vibe that reminds us of the early BOOKS albums. Anybody that's followed JOAN OF ARC should be comfortable with the group pushing the boundaries of their sound & they've truly gone as far out as possible this time. RECOMMENDED.
Available at: Broadway
New LP $17.99
