Drive-by Truckers: Plan 9 Records July 13 2006 [3 Vinyl LP]

30 years ago, Roxette released their fifth album "Crash! Boom! Bang!", including a stream of hit singles like "Sleeping In My Car", the title track, "Fireworks", "Run To You" and "Vulnerable".<br/> <br/>The album would sell more than five million copies and was followed by their second World Tour, which saw them perform for over a million people, including the second performance ever by an international act in China.<br/> <br/>We're celebrating this classic album's 30-year anniversary with a unique special edition: a double album in black and white vinyl with 18 tracks and an 8-page booklet.<br/> <br/>- Roxette were among the three most played artists on American radio during 1989, 1990 and 1991, and we were on top of the charts all over the world. So, it's no wonder we felt pretty confident when it was time to record the new album, Per Gessle says.<br/> <br/>- Having had that kind of success made us feel that we had a perfect opportunity to stretch out into new directions. To show slightly different sides of what Roxette could be. And I still think "Crash! Boom! Bang" is our best album.

Deacon Blue: The Great Western Road (Blue) [Vinyl LP]

Psychedelic Waves Colored Vinyl.<br/><br/>Inspired entirely by the life and mythos of actor Dennis Hopper, Mike Scott and The Waterboys created this expansive album as tribute to one of American popular culture's most compelling public figures. <br/>While drawn in by his work in films, Scott also learned of Hopper's talent as a photographer and was moved by the way Hopper captured how he saw the world. <br/>Deeply conceptual, this album of all original songs brings together high-profile featured artists like Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle to musically weave through Hopper's life, including a song for each of Hopper's wives.

Electro finest from Scandinavia.

Fender är ett av Storbritanniens stora nya rockhopp; han har vunnit två BRIT-awards och har med sina första två album fått ett fint mottagande och till och med nått den brittiska albumlistans första plats.<br/><br/>"People Watching" är hans tredje platta och här får Fenders skarpa texter och betraktelser ta ännu mer plats; den vanliga människans liv får stå i centrum där vackra berättelser samsas med genomarbetade låtar.
