Feeling chuffed and perhaps a little smug to have picked up 12"s in good condition of A Rock To Cling To, The Last Dance and It's A Kid's World for £2.50 each from the usually very sharp local second hand dealer.

Fantastic score! If he's usually very sharp there's no need to feel smug imo. No one's perfect.

Indeed. Meantime, check another thread revival shortly...
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 February 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
wow, I've never even seen these on vinyl.

D.I. Go Pop on vinyl. Please. Please. Please.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 13 February 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I was just going to post that. Would love to own D.I. Go Pop and Technicolour on vinyl.

I like the new cover art!
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 March 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link
Yeah that's a neat way to acknowledge the past while doing something different. Same sleeve designer as well.

yeah looking forward to this even though I have it on cd and everything else.
― akm, Thursday, 2 March 2017 02:10 (seven years ago) link
yes but you don't have "in the cold" because it's an unreleased track! unless it's on youtube or something. I haven't checked.

In Debt is their best album.

^ A nice mix. Slight shame all the jungle tracks are from the same compilation I believe, rather than a bit more varied. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Drum-Bass-Selection-2/release/97952

I'll stop my DJ snarking now ;)
I did enjoy that mix ... I have to confess it inspired me to make my own compilation from the same era (Insides, Disco Inferno, Spoonfed Hybrid, Acacia etc).
Snarking is okay.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else already. I just came across pre-orders on Amazon for vinyl reissues of DI Goes Pop (out on Jan 26) and Technicolor (out on Feb 23). Looking on the One Little Indian, they seem to have slightly different release dates but they are confirmed as coming soon. Amazing news!

Excellent news!
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 15 January 2018 10:00 (six years ago) link
Ordered DI Goes Pop it from One Little Indian as soon as I saw the post, and it has just arrived.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 12:15 (six years ago) link
Wow! It still says the vinyl will be dispatched in February on the site. I wish I could get a copy here in America that quickly.
Have you played it yet? Interested to know how it sounds. Hope they've done a good job with these.

I saw this post Ned shared on FB about OLI fucking over A.R. Kane, and that the vinyl re-issue of '69' is ripped from a CD. Does anyone know about D.I's relationship with OLI, or the provenance of the vinyl re-ish?

@olirecords claim to have purchased our entire catalog from @RoughTradeRecs for a few pennies, in perpetuity, w'out our consent knowledge - they refuse to let the rights revert to the band - not so much #MeToo more #MyArtToo #ArtisticSlavery U ever had a powerful label rip u off?— A.R.Kane (@InfoKane) January 2, 2018

Ugh about A.R.Kane and OLI.
I've not had the time to listen to the LP yet, on the weekend perhaps.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 18 January 2018 10:51 (six years ago) link
OLI seemingly bought up the rights to a job lot of rough trade stuff some years back
