We still have a couple of historic releases by Fruits de Mer still in stock for those who are getting hooked on these very collectable releases. Two more release due in December , keep watching the blogs.

Brainticket - limited edition

Good news is that the spectacular Pysch splattered 'Cottonwoodhill' vinyl LP is now in stock, bad news is there is just one left. Kraut/Pysch masterpiece, note this is the limited edition and not the standard 2010 release which makes it even more desirable. Trying very hard to get some more, but for now just the one instore. We also have taken in a very nice 'new' CD releases of Gentle Giant live and another live CD by Robert Calvert.

More 2012 Record Fair dates

We can now confirm that we will be adding an extra Denbigh Fair on Saturday June 16th, thanks to the staff at Denbigh Town Hall who have allowed us use of this great venue in the height of the Summer, due to the unfortunate loss of the Pavilion in Flint due to the re-development of the Leisure Centre. A comparable venue has not been found in Flint despite our best efforts, but hopefully we can return there if the situation changes. In addition to the Denbigh Fair we also have now pencilled in Prestatyn for Saturday May 19th. This will be our second visit to the very impressive Scala and being a relatively new venue for us we will give it our full attention to ensure a great day there.

Return of the Wickerman

We will be having the latest pressing of Fruits de mer release SUMMERISLE-THE WICKERMAN, what colour vinyl....wait and see. Very limited numbers of this highly collectable release, if you have the white vinyl, complete the set and get one of the 200 pressed Worldwide! Let you know when they arrive, but if you want one it's first come first served so let me know ASAP.

New Lp's in stock by Roky Erikson (the evil one returns) and Red Crayola (the parable of arable land).More Pysch to follow.
