I'd like to announce the formal release of _The Five EPs_ by Disco Inferno

YEEEEEAAAHHH... That is amazing news.

That interview has been making me ponder the relationship between labels and bands. Che come off quite badly in the quotes but I'm not sure how much a label has to *understand* their bands. Likewise, Rough Trade asking the band to re-record material could be interpreted as interfering or caring enough to push a band.

(Full disclosure: massive Disco Inferno fan and know Vinita).

i'm just now catching up on ILX but wanted to post here & say Ned's DI piece last month was AWESOME! thanks Ned.

Too kind!

Ooh vinyl. Nice! Great news

Indeed . . . . but when?

Shall I sell my "Entertainment" 7"?

God no. That's not one of the EPs in question.

good news on vinyl!

Meantime a quick note on Twitter from the Vivid Riot blog:

@NedRaggett Ned, got a new solo track from Ian Crause. Will be posting it online later! It's a corker!

Oh I like this. This is good. Saw the "coming soon" pop up on the DI facebook page y'day and woke up to this this morning. Yay!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I'm pretty sure "A Rock to Cling to" samples and loops a portion of Galaxie 500's "It's Getting Late" from Today.

Hmm! I could see it...

Do we know what MBV song 'D.I. Go Pop' has as it's main sample?

for some reason i keep thinking it's 'when you wake you're still in a dream'

"While Memory Drawings is an ostensibly instrumental project, Music For Another Loss also features a second disc comprising Yvonne Bruner-led vocal versions of many of the first disc’s tracks, alongside a clutch of total reinvention remixes by Rachel Grimes, Dakota Suite, Piano Magic (featuring Disco Inferno’s Ian Crause on guitar) and Bracken."

Interesting.

Still waiting on those vinyl reissues.

The 5 EPs vinyl should be out in 3/4 weeks... It's on gatefold double vinyl... have also seen t-shirt designs (DI logo in white on black or orange on sky blue) which also should be out for sale really soon...

Nice.

Would buy a t-shirt.

t-shirts! awesome!

DEFINITELY am buying a t-shirt. keep us posted.

just got one of each through the post now... they look VERY nice!! not sure when they go on sale, but i will find out and post news

Just got a press mailout from OLI:

A.R. Kane release Complete Singles Collection on the 1st October 2012 and Disco Inferno ‘The 5 Eps’ Limited Edition Double Vinyl released on the 27th August 2012. Both A.R. Kane and Disco Inferno are to be re-issued through One Little Indian’s new Totem imprint, details will be coming shortly.

And I can also say -- now that I've seen a proof of it! -- that the liner notes for the vinyl collection will be a slightly edited version of my Pitchfork piece. Looks really nice!

Please note -- 500 copies total!

WOW... Very excited for this!

Just received my shipping notice for the 5 EP's on vinyl!

Me too. :D

Vinyl arrived today and it is beautiful. Listening to it now. Got a nice little book of Ned's oral history piece as well - fantastic bonus!

:-)

I thought an update on the thread might mean further reissues by the band.
Didn't think any of the others had been redone since the mid 90s but now seeing that One Little Indian did the Goes Pop lp back in April.
Still In Debt & Technicolour are still only available in nearly 20 year old editions.
If you can get In Debt at all, rising prices on Amazon at least.

Yay Fact Magazine:

Doesn't Jonny Mugwump have connections to the brilliant-in-their-own-right Position Normal?

he is the man behind exotic pylon records, if that helps

just got my 5EPS vinyl... looks utterly gorgeous! full liner notes on the gatefold inside, plus a great 7"-sized booklet with Ned's oral history... feels like a brilliant document... and a great job by FatCat's Dave Thomas doing all the design work...

Got mine as well. Such a strange, weird and wonderful feeling.

I want one of these shirts so bad.

Charlotte Church also got hers:

Okay which one of you is secretly Charlotte Church?

Ned, obviously.

I had to start somewhere.

Really, Ned, Gavin Henson?

I was young and naive!

Why yes I am as happy as all get out:

I've never felt less bad about ordering a shirt for a band I've never seen.

I think I will order one come payday.
