Yeah, I saw the track listing and assumed it was stuff from the reissues. Although I have a lot of 45’s I haven’t bought any for a long while since changing to a turntable where I have to move the belt to change speed! Still, as a freebie it’s fantastic and goes with the other 7s

Anyone know anything about the planned new Switched On vols?

haven’t bought the re-issues so am selfishly hoping they collect up all the bonus material.

New ones? Didn’t they get reissued only two or three years ago (without any additional material over and above their original releases)

I thought vols 4 & 5 were in the works?

Who knows what’s going to be on them then. There wasn’t nearly as much non-standard release stuff in the later years, and most of that came as bonus tracks on the reissues.

But then you never know - maybe there’s stacks of unreleased tracks that they want to put out?

Did anyone else manage to get the new Cavern of Antimatter in the hour or two before it sold out earlier this week?

Yeah managed to get a copy from Picaddily records

I got mine from Resident. I thought about buying direct but I haven’t bought many records this year and thought my local shops probably needs the money more (especially after all the stereolab records and merch I’ve bought over the years)

Did it sell out already, I didn’t think it was that limited? I bought one direct from duophonic as they’re really reliable (and I think it’s just a rebranded bleep storefront and they’re also really good)

They definitely mentioned another volume of switched on coming, there’s probably enough uncollected stuff to make at least one more, and although it may not have the same quality, I’d get it to avoid going through the 7 and 12s.

yeah I checked direct but they’d already gone. Generally buy from Norman but they’d sold out too.

I was really surprised tbh. Didn’t think CoAM sold that many and soundtracks tend to get even less interest. Maybe the Stereolab reformation has spiked a bit of interest.

I think they sell OK but prob not near stereolab levels - cavern first releases were hyped and the rarity of the original edition of blood drums helped I think but I am surprised that it sold so quick! I hesitated whether to buy it now, or add it to my stacked order at Norman’s (waiting for some stuff to come in stock) at the weekend - I’m glad I did now!

It sold out mainly to people looking to flip it to be honest.

I still can’t believe I got a winning scratchcard and didn’t send it off. FFS.

New song out today from Tim’s latest band!

Standard limited version sold out in 10 munutes

I took a look on duophonic and the coloured version was already sold out.

I almost bought the album cover coaster set then decided against it.

Another new ‘old’ single - really good too

Is anyone after the limited mirroboard 3lp version at all?
I panic bought online , and apparently my local record shop had already put one aside for me when it arrives and I don’t want to let them down. Obvs do it for cost and postage if anyone missed it

Listening to the new compilation and holy fuck ‘Free With And No Bra Queen’ is already in my list of favourite ever Stereolab songs. How was this only on a tour single?
