Christmas Crackers from Fruits de mer records

Out mid-December, let us know if you need any, lots of interest expected on these limited editions.

On the Regal Crabomophone label, Winkle 9 - US psychedelic rockers The Luck Of Eden Hall are back with a 4-track EP, comprising two songs from their brilliant new CD 'Alligators Eat Gumdrops' along with exclusive covers of The Doors' 'Crystal Ship' and SRC's 'Black Sheep'.Classy stuff from Chicago's finest.

On Fruits de Mer, Crustacean 33 - 'The White EP' - eight tracks from The Beatles' classic double album, spread across four sides of 7" vinyl. Artists contributing exclusive tracks include The Bevis Frond, Cranium Pie, Henry Padovani, Jack Ellister, Anton Barbeau and The Pretty Things (whose version of 'Helter Skelter' has to be heard to be believed - stunning!). Gatefold white sleeve, white vinyl, sequentially-numbered.

A tribute to the original, only smaller.

On Fruits de Mer, Crustacean 34 - 'The League of Psychedelic Gentlemen' -a four-track 7" featuring new or previously-unreleased tracks by four cult heroes of 'new psychedelia'  - Nick Nicely, Anton Barbeau, Paul Roland and The Bevis Frond, who have each gone into the studio, or delved into their archives, to come up with a track per artist for this one-off project. This ISN'T a new supergroup, each artist has contributed their own track).

On Fruits de Mer, Crustacean 35 - The Fruits de Mer 2013 Annual - This year it comprises the bizarre combination of a cover of Faust's 'Jennifer' by Russian prog band Vespero (that arrived too late for the 'Head Music' compilation) with a new version of 'Pegasus' by Temple Music that's a wholly unrepresentative taster for The Hollies album I'll be releasing in early 2013. The combination sounds ridiculous, but you've never heard The Hollies like this before and somehow they fit together.

The three 7" singles will each be produced in two colours of vinyl, while The White EP double 7" will be white vinyl

Grizzly Bear, Stereolab and Radiohead

We now have Shields in on Vinyl by the fantastic Grizzly Bear also one of the latest reissues by Stereolab-Peng. Just to round off the latest deliveries three 12 inch singles brand new sealed...Just,No Surprises,Pyramid Song. More new vinyl due in soon. Fruits de Mer 7 inches all but gone but if you need any of the last batch just let me know.Special Beatles edition of MOJO also instore, a little late in arriving but priced at the usual £1 off RRP.

Thanks to all

Another great send off for our Record Fairs in Mold yesterday. A busy well attended fair is a great to behold. Just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their tremendous and continued support. Next year will be our 8th year of organising these events and in the ever changing musical landscape this is some achievement, only made possible by the fantastic backing of visitors and record dealers. We have a few new ideas for 2013 which will also include making Record Store Day on April 20th abit special in Mold. Already confirmed is one new venue in Flint and if things go to plan we hope to add another. New dealers too always bring something fresh to any event, so we will be looking for some additional faces behind the stalls. We will be in our shop EVERY Wednesday, Friday and Saturday throughout the Winter Months until our first Fair of 2013, so if you need any info on next years events pop in anytime between 10.30am till 4pm any shop day.
Thanks again, your support for the Shop and Fairs is very much appreciated, will miss the Fairs for now but will only add to the anticipation of the visit to the Civic on March 9th at Connahs Quay.

Record Fair this Saturday 27th October

Its our last event of 2012 this Saturday at the Daniel Owen Community Centre, Mold. A full compliment of dealers which bodes well for a great finish to our Record Fair year.Our shop will also be open all day during the fair.
Great news for 2013, we have just secured a new venue in Flint at St.Marys Club which is literally 50 yards from our old venue at the Pavilion. We will be posting full venue information over the coming Months with a linked page on our website replacing the existing Pavilion page. Just for the record the Flint event will be on Saturday 18th May 2013.
