BREAKING NEWS: The Threads sign deal with Time For Action Records


I can exclusively reveal that The Threads have signed to Time For Action Records.

Both parties are now working together on a vinyl album release (possibly a double-album) that will feature unreleased recordings, ‘live’ material, compilation appearances, alternate takes/mixes, demos and radio jingles (including the ‘Swinging Radio England – Tetley Nuts Jingle’ where Tetley got a punch in the plums and we all cracked up while the tape was still rolling).

Some songs will be familiar, but the recordings may not be, whilst others will be previously unheard (outside of our ‘live’ gigs). None of the recordings previously released on the ‘Step Back In Time’ CD by the excellent Detour Records are included here on this planned new release. There will also be a few surprises too!!!

The first part of the process will be to locate everything we want to release in our archives and then find a studio that can master all of our formats (2 inch 24-track, ¼ inch master, cassette, vinyl and CD). So not a quick process, but one we are pleased to be undertaking – and we are delighted to be working with the team at Time For Action Records.
