I’m really enjoying Overkill’s 19th studio album The Wings Of War. These guys were contemporaries of Metallica, Slayer etc. and have really put out some terrific albums recently. This new one is as good as 2010’s Ironbound.
Got the curtis mayfield cd box today from my local hmv £17.99. Nice to see they are getting new stock in at a reasonable price.
Didn’t see it mentioned this week or last but that Massive Attack Mezzanine reissue finally came out. I know because it suddenly got an email saying it shipped. Believe it was supposed to come back clear back in November and was pushed back. It’s a great deluxe reissue highly recommend and sounds excellent.
It’s not supposed to be out until 19 April!
I received the “Mezzanine” 2xCD back on the originally announced release date n November. It was an Amazon Canada pre-order for around CA$15 – although oddly, when it arrived, it was a Czech pressing.
Before it shipped, the listing on all Amazon sites had been changed to show a Jan 29th release date, with the Amazon Canada price up around CA$30. And now, I see Amazon Canada is showing the April 19th release date, and the price is up to CA$37.
Guess I got lucky!
